Week 39 - Reading and watching

Lesson goals

• Students will practice skimming and scanning texts for specific information by quickly identifying key details in the text 
• Students will develop teamwork skills by collaborating in small groups, sharing information, and completing the tasks together.
• Students will strengthen their understanding of the reading by watching a video about young entrepreneurs. This combines reading with both listening and watching to help them learn better.

Activity one

Today, we are going to practice our reading comprehension by quickly finding specific answers in the text Talented teenager's triumph over adversity page 34. This is a timed activity where you will compete in teams to find answers as fast as possible.

The activity

Make small teams of 4 students.

You will have 10 minutes to read through the text and highlight any important information. Make sure you work together as a team to mark any key details.

After 10 minutes, I will start asking questions, one by one.

Each question will refer to a specific detail in the text. Your task is to quickly find the answer in the text and write it down on your whiteboard.

When you have the answer, one member of your team will raise the board.

Rules

You must answer only using information from the text.

Work as a team to find the answers quickly.

You now have 10 minutes to read through the text with your team and mark important details. Ready? Go!
