This activity allows students to activate their background knowledge before attempting the reading.
Look at the picture. Ask, What’s happening in the picture? Let students describe the picture.
Read the title The art of giving aloud. Get the students to predict what they think the article is about, based on the title and the picture. Get students to finish Task 1. But don’t look at the reading text. Instead, they use their background knowledge to try to answer the questions. As students work, move around, looking at their progress.
When most students complete the task, get students to answer the questions with a parter. Elicit answers from the students. Ask if other students have the same or different answers. Do not give the correct answers to the students at this point. Wait until students have finished the reading and let them revise their answers accordingly.
