Then the teacher wants every group to choose the best movie by discussing with their friends then group leaders from all groups share their ideas with their friends about why they choose that movie as the best among other movies.

WHILE-READING ACTIVITIES

The teacher gives students a reading text which includes a book review. However he or she gives the passage with complex paragraphs. The students read the passage first in a silent way.They try to sequence the paragraphs according to correct order. After they finished, they read again and the teacher choose different students to read different parts outloud. The teacher asks some questions to students and want them to paraphrase the paragraphs. So it develops their skills to convey a meaning through a text.

POST-READING ACTIVITIES

After they read the passage the teacher plays a funny game with students. They are divided into two groups and they choose a group name. Then the teacher asks some scanning questions from the text. The first student who takes his or her hand answers the question and takes one point. It continues like that.

Then the teacher gives students a worksheet. This time they should do it themselves. They try to answer the questions which are given in these worksheets until the class finishes. Then the teacher collects the worksheets to check them later. And he or she says that he or she will give the book which is mentioned in the book review as a gift to a student who answers his or her questions best.
