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 the immune system. 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 Not many faults in this star 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 3-4 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.

Example questions

Here are some examples of the questions I will ask:

"In which movie did Shailene Woodley play the role of George Clooney’s daughter?"

"What was Shailene’s initial reaction when she was offered the role in Divergent?"

"In which two countries did Shailene travel after filming Insurgent?"

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!

"In which movie did Shailene Woodley play the role of George Clooney’s daughter?"

Find the answer in paragraph 1.

"What was Shailene’s initial reaction when she was offered the role in Divergent?"

Find the word that indicates her reaction in paragraph 2.

"In which two countries did Shailene travel after filming Insurgent?"

Find the countries in paragraph 3.

"How old was Shailene when she started acting?"

Find the answer in paragraph 1

"How does Shailene describe her current lifestyle, where she doesn’t have a permanent home?"

Find the correct word in paragraph 3

"What profession did Shailene have before moving to major films?"

Find the answer in paragraph 2.

"Why didn’t Shailene work much after her role in The Descendants?"

Find the reason in paragraph 4.

Activity two

We are going to watch a video which talks about how the immune system helps to find and kill cells that could become cancer. It explains how certain genes and Natural Killer Cells play important roles in this process. Even though the immune system works hard, some cancer cells can still escape detection, making it a tough battle against cancer.

Make sure you write down important info and details in order to answer the upcoming questions!

What happens when tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are mutated?

1. They help the body fix DNA
2. They let cells grow without control
3. They stop cancer cells from forming
4. They make cells die faster

How do Natural Killer Cells find cancer cells?

1. By looking for certain proteins in healthy cells
2. By checking for missing MHC class I molecules
3. By seeing how fast cells are dividing
4. By measuring oxygen in the blood

What can happen to cancer cells that avoid the immune system?

1. They get weaker over time
2. They will stop growing completely
3. They will die eventually
4. They can change and resist treatment

Why can cancer be hard to treat?

1. Some cancer cells can hide from the immune system
2. Cancer cells do not grow
3. .The immune system sees all cancer cells
4. All cancer cells are the same

What do oncogenes do in cancer development?

1. They help fix DNA damage
2. They do not affect cell behavior
3. They stop cells from growing
4. They make cells divide quickly when active

Why can the immune system kill many young cancer cells easily?

1. They are strong and well-established
2. They are weak and easy to find
3. They already have MHC class I molecules
4. They are fixing themselves

What is a hopeful area of cancer treatment mentioned in the video?

1. Engineered T Cells and cancer vaccines
2. Regular chemotherapy
3. Simple pain relief
4. Only changing diet

What do you think about today and why?
