Step 2 While-reading (8 minutes)

At this step ask the students to do two activities.

Activity 1: Fast reading

Students will be given two minutes to read the passage quickly, and then underline the main ideas of each paragraph. After that, encourage students to summarize the passage in their own words. The following questions of each paragraph can help them.

(Explain the meaning and usage of the new words after they have shared answers.)

Activity 2: Careful reading

Ask students to fill in the sheet below, before that they will be reminded to pay attention to the key words of each line.

(Explain the meaning and usage of the new words after they have shared answers.)

(Justification: Different ways of exploiting the text can help students not merely to cope with one particular text in class but to develop their reading strategies and reading ability. Explain the meaning and usage of the new words in the context can help them to memorize the new words easily.)

Step 3 Post-reading (6 minutes)

Ask students to discuss in groups of four to think of singers or writers they know well and make a list of facts about them. Think of the following:

(1) Who is the singer/writer?

(2) When did the singer/writer first become famous?

(3) How and why did he/she first become famous?

(4) What famous songs/books has he/she recorded/written? When?

(5) How did you find out about him/her?

(Justification: Students’ cooperation awareness can be strengthened through group work. They could also have the chance to introduce singers or writers they know well by imitating the way introduced in the passage, so their speaking ability can be improved.)

Step 4 Summary and Homework (2 minutes)

Invite one student to summarize the class and teacher will give some supplements, such as Sarah changed her attitude towards her family.

Homework:

(1) Write a short passage to introduce the singers or writers they have discussed in class.

(2) Search more information about the kind of art they are interested in and introduce it in the next class.

(3) Make sentences with the new words.
