Reading strategy: scanning Learners are divided into two mixed ability groups and given two short texts about other disasters in Kazakhstan. They analyze the information together and fill in the table. Then groups compare information in their tables. Vocabulary work Learners match the topical vocabulary in English with equivalents in Russian. For this activity learners can use online dictionaries. Wordlists are differentiated according to the level of learners. Reading Learners read texts “Recent major disasters and response activities” according to their level (easier, harder). Learners show their understanding by matching disasters and dates with their description. This work is done in writing. Assessment Learners submit their papers. Learners will achieve their learning objective if they can match 3 out of 4 disasters and their descriptions.						https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIjSuGYSlIE Presentation slide 2 Presentation slide 3 Appendix 3 Appendix 4,5 Appendix 1,2

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?			Assessment – how are you planning to check students’ learning?		Critical thinking
Texts and wordlists of two levels are provided.			Learners’ reading will be assessed by the teacher according to the success criteria. Vocabulary work is peer-assessed by different groups		Learners find out about cause and result relations.

What changes did I make from my plan and why?			Use the space below to reflect on your lesson. Answer the most relevant questions from the box on the left about your lesson.
			All learners achieved the learning objectives as the reading task was differentiated. I needed some more time for reflection so next time I will leave more time for this activity.
