Think thoroughly about the structure of the piece of writing, decide on appropriate tone and formality, brainstorm some vocabulary that could be useful.
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.
