‘Clark initially used his powers covertly to help people and prevent disasters. Ultimately, he was forced to use his powers in public.’

You may know some things about Superman already. If you knew Clark led a regular, everyday life as a human being and had a secret superhero identity, you may know the meaning of 'covertly'. 

 

Look at the text around the word ‘covertly’.
‘Initially’ means first, ‘ultimately’ means last.
What does this tell you?

Opposite meaning, so ‘covertly’ could be opposite of ‘publicly’.

Same meaning, so ‘covertly’ could be the same as ‘publicly’.

‘using his powers covertly’ could tell it has something to do with using his powers

1. as a human being
2. every day
3. in secret

Writers organise information, ideas and arguments by using different structures. 

Sequence and chronology is one of those structures:

• sequence: indicates that things happen in a certain order
• chronology: describes when something takes place

first, next, then, finally, earlier, before, after, soon, eventually, initially, in the past, later, now, nowadays, once, once upon a time, present, present-day, today, until, (mean)while.

In pairs find the word groups that refer to a point or a period in time (chronology).

As Clark grew older, his Kryptonian body began developing superhuman abilities. When Clark was eighteen,his father took him to the field where his starcraft still lay hidden.  He explained how he and Martha had once found him.
