1. What is the age of the students you are planning this reading for?
4. Discuss why you think this reading would be appropriate for your learners.
Hello, teacher Sasha is here. I’m going to plan a reading lesson for adult students. Their age is from
17 years and older. They are interested in sound engineering. The proficiency level varies from
Intermediate to Upper-Intermediate. I’m going to use the article from the text by Bob Katz «Mastering
Audio. The Art and the Science.» I think it would be appropriate for my students because they are
interested in sound engineering. This reading will help them to learn specific vocabulary. And they
can discuss this topic as well because they are professionals on this field.

4. Discuss why you think this reading would be appropriate for your learners.
The age of the students i might teach will be adults. Furthermore, Their proficiency would be
conversation prior to my course. The title of the book is Oxford Grammar for Schools 1B by Liz
KIlbey. This reading is appropriate because it reinforces their speaking proficiency but exposes them
to grammatical structure.

1. I am a university professor of communications who is also involved in creating a flipped
curriculum for older teens and adults. That is the age at which I am focusing this assignment.
2. I am presuming the language proficiency of these students to be upper intermediate.
3. As Italy quarantines over coronavirus, swans appear in Venice canals, dolphins swim up
playfully, by Anagha Srikanth, writing for The Hill online newspaper
at https://thehill.com/changing-america/sustainability/environment/488286-italys-coronavirus-
lockdown-shows-what-nature
4. I like using newspaper stories in part because I have been a long-time reporter, editor,
pubisher and journalism professor. For this age group I also like such stories because
journalists are taught to write at about a ninth-grade level. Most of the vocabulary should be
familiar to the students, and yet it is easy to find stories with topics that introduce new and
relevant vocabulary, as well. It is also easy to find related online videos to further broaden
the discussion and enhance students' listening skills. Although appearing in an American
online newspaper, this specific story is internationally current and relevant, and yet it takes
an approach that is refreshingly different than most of the other news stories about the
Coronavirus. Even if this lesson, with this specific story, is used a year or two from now, the
topic will still be of interest because it is taking a unique view of a huge international crisis.
There are obvious discussion topics about the crisis itself, but this story also raises
interesting discussion topics beyond the crisis, such as humans' impact on other living
species, what the world would be like without humans, how we might consciously reduce our
impact on other species, etc.
1. What is the age of the students you are planning this reading for?
1. The age is around 18.2. The proficiency is around B1.3. The reading is a blog article titled "Beijing
Olympics 2008: A hope lost or fulfilled?", the author is Stephen McDonell.
4. The reading is appropriate since I designed the course for the learners who are mostly high
school seniors in China, and they would be interested in the Olympics event happened a decade
ago in their hometown.
1. What is the age of the students you are planning this reading for?
2. Describe your students' language proficiency.
4. Discuss why you think this reading would be appropriate for your learners.
I plan reading activities for teenagers or adults whose language level is intermediate and upper-
intermediate. I would choose the collection of O'Henry's short stories because this writer's language
is very beautiful and vivid. I think his works are great examples of mastering English in the most
extended sense. Besides, every story has a plot which can be easily retold and analyzed.
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not
to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the
phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool
and connected.
The explosion around the world in mobile phone use has some health professionals worried. Some
doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of
mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone
companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there are no proofs
that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people
who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with
modern scanning equipment. In one case; a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age
because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget
the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every
day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but
his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech
machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies
agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less
often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when
you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In
the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for
now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
Note: I intentionally chose this topic because of two reasons. First reason, the topic is an authentic
(from real world). I want my students to study some authentic readings. Second reason, most of my
students are adults and this topic is important and will help them in their lives. Also, this passage will
teach them how to reduce radiations of cell-phones.
This lesson is designed for students age 9-10 years old with beginner English proficiency.

Warm Up and Objective Discussion:
-The teacher divides the class into groups of 4 each and gives each group
a picture of a disney tale along with some flash cards with words or
sentences related to the tale.
-The teacher gives them 5minutes to think about it, go through the words or
sentences used and try to figure out what the story is about.
-The teacher asks few questions
1. What did you observe in the picture?
2. Can you read the words or the sentences used?
3. Can you predict what the story is about?
4. Do you think this can happen in the real world?
-So today we are going to learn about a Disney tale, Cinderella which is a
fiction story.
Guided Practice:
The teacher does both Extensive and Intensive Practices.
Example of Extensive Practice:
-The teacher divides the class into groups of 4 each.
-She gives each group a disney tale and asks them to read it and write
down an outline of it.
Here the teacher does help the students with vocabulary and also provides
them with an example of an outline and guides them to write one.
For less guided practice, the teacher provides the students with a non-
fiction story and asks them to write an outline for it and also a moral.
(Extensive Practice)
She also instructs them to find the various parts of speech they know and
identify them.(Intensive Practice)
She walks in class and checks on each student.
Independent Practice:
Here the teacher instructs students to choose any story they like and write
an outline and also find all the parts of speech and identify them.
Assessment:
The teacher asks the students to read the story of Cinderella again and
instructs them to make a book report on it. She asks them to note down
their favorite character and their favorite scene from the story. Write a few
lines on both. Note their opinion about the story.
