review lesson they have just had. T: Could you list all the activities you
Open
did during the reading lesson? Ps work in pairs.
class
Matching exercise
Vocabulary presentation
Discussing the picture
Reading to check predictions
Reading to answer comprehension questions (T/F)
Reading to fill in the gaps
Reading to guess the meaning of the words from the context
Discussion

2. T elicits the aims of doing these activities. And then asks the
following questions to analyze the lesson.
1. What was the purpose of the matching activity? (To
introduce vocabulary + practice)
2. Why was it necessary to introduce vocabulary? (prepare
Ss for reading);
3. The Ss discussed the picture. What for? ( To motivate
them to read);
4. How many times did the Ss read the text? (four times)
5. Were the objectives of reading the text the same or
different in all the cases? (They were different. Ps name
the objectives of reading the text)
6. Did the last activity help learners to develop reading or
other skills? (Which ones?). (It helped them to develop
speaking and listening skills.)
Follow up 2. T distributes to the Ps some written activity examples to
conduct a reading lesson. Ps have to match them according to
the PDP reading structure. When they finish, Ps compare in
pairs and then in open class.
Ps read and take notes.
Pre reading activities
 Give strips of paper with the chapter titles to students in
pairs or groups. They decide the best order for the
chapters and think about the possible story.
 Students look at title and/or pictures and predict what
words they will find or learn in a reading assignment.
Points can be awarded for correctly guessing words that
do appear. Extend this by making sentences with the
vocabulary.
 Provide students with some vocabulary from the next
part of the story and elicit what will happen next.
 Have students make questions they want to find the
answers to in the next part of the story. They can ask
other students to guess the answers in a simple pair
work speaking activity
 Teacher says a word and students race to find it on the
page
 initial discussion of key themes
 make and explicit link between the topic of the text and
students’ own lives and experiences
 some extracted information (illustration, key words,
headlines), read questions about the text
During reading activities
 Talk about what images are forming in your mind as
you read a portion of the text
 check text against predictions made beforehand
 guess the title from a choice of three options and put
events (or illustrations) in the correct order
 Find points of detail, more intensive comprehensive
understanding
 work out meaning of words from context
Post reading activities
 role play, debate, writing task (eg, write a letter in reply)
 To personalization, (eg „Have you ever had an
experience like this one?’)
 Students form 3 or more teams and come up with their
own questions to ask other class teams. Teams have to
‘buzz in’ to answer
 Students correct a sentence from the story. Or students
use their imaginations to change the story to their liking
 Give the students some sentences. Half are in the text,
half are not. Students guess (they should know!) which
were in the text
 Create a situation different from the story in the book.
How would the characters behave in different
environments?
 A ‘newspaper reporter’ interviews a character
 summarize arguments, compare viewpoint
