Pre-Reading/Listening (5-8 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

To build a kind of scaffolding, T. asks Sts to elicit as many words as they can about the future. T.Writes down the words on the board getting sts to say the word and the teacher repeats after them the words they present. this is followed by presenting some new vocabulary they are meeting in the text reading,then: T. tells students they are going to read some texts about some persons in task one.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

T.asks Sts to read again and find out words that refer to the future and write them on sheets of paper. T.tells sts they are going to a party and they 'll have to choose and buy a present for a person.Sts choose a random name and decide what they will buy,they are asked to work in pairs,this is followed by the No game.


Sts are asked again to work in two groups to read the given sentences and match them with the future expressions. Then, they are asked to stick their production on the board I show sts the difference between planned future and unplanned one getting them to practise orally. I write a verb and then two sts are asked to write a sentence using a future form.
