Дотекстовый этап.

Can you guess about what person we are going to talk and read?

                                   (actor, actress, director, producer…)

Look at these pictures. / показываю фото актера/ Do you know him?

                                   (yes/no/Paul Newman)

So, we are going to read an article about Paul Leonard Newman, the Hollywood star.

Look at the pictures again. What do they tell you about Paul?

                                     (He is handsome/ He has blue eyes/He gained a success…)

What information would you like to know about him?

                                     (How old is he? Is he still alive? …)

Read the title, please. “Paul Newman, actor, director, racing driver” What do you expect to find out from the text?

Before reading the text, look at the blackboard. Here are some words that help you to understand the article:
