10mins - Introduction: Conversation - Discuss the impact of large scale industry on the modern world. Use the current Ilva crisis in Taranto as an example. Talk about the changes in how large scale industry has been viewed over time and discuss any possible benefits people may see in industry such as this existing.
05mins - Revision: Book work - Discuss the chapters of the book that were set for homework at the end of the previous lesson.
05mins - Comprehension: Answer the comprehension questions that accompany the newly read chapters of the book.
05mins - Mini Task: The student is to discuss and give examples of rhetorical questions. (A rhetorical question is a device used to persuade or subtly influence the audience. It's a question asked not for the answer, but for the effect. Oftentimes, a rhetorical question is used to emphasise a point or just to get the audience thinking.)
e.g "What could go wrong?" "What's the worst that could happen?" "Are you kidding me?", "You didn't think I would say yes to that, did you?"
15mins - Test: 05 reading practice - Part 1
Answers: C, C, B, D, A, A, D, C
15mins - Creative Task: The student will be able to choose one card from three different categories: Objects, Theme and Characters. The words in each category are to be chosen from the test the student has just completed. The student is to formulate an opening paragraph of a story based around the chosen cards. Encourage the student to include at least one rhetorical question in their writing.
05mins - Warm down: I will set the student chapters of the book to read for homework whilst contemplating any new themes and/or characters that may have appeared.
1) Read through the text before answering the questions to give yourself a sense of what it's about.
2) In this section, you will need to be familiar with collocations, phrasal verbs, linking words and vocabulary. Students will need to differentiate between the shades of meaning in similar words, focusing on the appropriate selection of words that fit the overarching topic of the text, as well as prepositions and infinitives that surround the gaps which can affect the meaning of the word.
3) Read through the gaps. Continue the sentence until you arrive at a full stop. This will help give you context.
4) If you are unsure, try to work out which words are incorrect. Use process of elimination. 5) If you don't know the correct answer, make a guess.
