  14. Were the students really aware of what they had been learning by the end of the reading lesson?

  15. POST-READING • Complete a tableand write down what students will do at different points • Let’s revise the activities and vocabulary. Do you think it is a difficult trip? • Would you like to go on this trip? Why or why not? Which activity would you like most? Why? • Write a notice for your class outing / picnic(i.e. from reading to writing)

  16. From reading to writing • students looked for the main ideas of each of the paragraph of the sample notice in the textbook • detailed structure of writing a notice was then worked out • students created their own notices for a class picnic (future forms “will/ be going to” were taught before)

  17. What is the meaning of the unknown words? How do you know? What are you actually doing? Sentences that contain unknown words Parts of speech Using linguistic & contextual clues Signal words stayed at a place too long Cause and effect because Because we lingered too long at the restaurant, we were late for school. verb so, because My home is very small, but my friend’s place is very spacious. Opposite / contrast big but adj. However, but over-weight / fat Don’t eat so much ice-cream! You will become over-weight or obese one day! Looking for similar meanings adj. or The baboon, like other animals, is very social and friendly. a kind of animals like Looking for examples noun for example, for instance, including, like The monster disappeared suddenly, and I never saw it again. dis could not be seen prefixes verb un, ir, non

  18. In short, when guessing word meanings from context… Don’t be afraid of the words you don’t know.
