 Warming up / Vocabulary
This is the part where in we can introduce new words and
expressions to the students.

Do not explain all of the words, first let the student read the
words and definition first.

for the vocabulary/words :

"for the first part, we are going to talk about words and
vocabulary, before we continue with the lesson, kindly read the
five words and their definition"
 Warming up / Vocabulary

*to check student's understanding* :

"with all the five words that you’ve just read, is there a word that
you don't know?"

Questions to check on student's understanding :

"do you have any questions about the words/article/discussion?"
"with all the five words that you just read, is there a word that you
don't know"
 Article/ Short Story
Do not read the article all by yourself, and PLEASE do not let
the student read it all by themselves as well.

Let them know that you a team, you partner with them while
reading the article.

Introduce the second part and let them know what you are going
to do.
 Article/ Short Story
for the second part (Article/Short Story):
"since you don’t have any other questions about the vocabulary
words, let's continue with the article. Now for the article we are
going to have a reading exercise. But I am going to need your
help with this part. I will read a part of the article and I would like
you to continue until we finish reading it."
short article : “we are going to talk about a short article, before
that please read the article.”
"thank you for reading the article, now, what can you say about
it?"
“can you summarize the main idea of the article”
“before we continue to the next part, do you have any questions
about the article?”
 Discussion/Q&A
This is your chance to persuade the student to speak up their
minds and express their ideas.

You can share your opinions/experience first then you let them
answer the questions.

Discussion :
"Now for the discussion, I am going to ask you a couple of
questions and I would like to hear your opinion or maybe some of
your experiences as well."
