Skills aim(s) for the students: By the end of this lesson, students

Students will have learned the concept of speed dating as well as they will have started developing the skill of reading a long text with a lot of information to be taken into consideration. They will also work in reading comprehension by answering questions stated not only on the text but also postulated by the teacher.

Language aim(s) for the students: By the end of this lesson, students

Vocabulary enhancement. They will know at least 10-15 new words that will help them understanding this topic whenever it comes out again or even for having a real life conversation with anyone. Well work in fluency and, above all, accuracy.

Personal aims: Look back at previous tutor feedback to remind yourself of areas to work on.

Less teacher presence (preventing myself from falling into TTT). Early finishers must be kept doing something. Usage of stool. Do not block what they can read on the board. Being consistent with correction. Fully exploit the material.

Timetable fit: e.g. In previous lessons, the students (or) After my lesson, the students will

There were early finishers although it doesnt seem the case with this lesson since theres a lot of material to cover and I think my times indicated in the procedure sheet are well adjusted. The students will have the feeling of having worked well and satisfied with the job done.

What you assume your students already know: Will the language be new to the students or will it be revision?

I assume most words are unknown to them since they are not very likely used on an everyday basis. Most students will have heard of what speed dating is but just general concepts, nonetheless what theyre going to read goes one step beyond.
Resources: Include course book material, language reference books and any other additional resources.
