Upper-Intermediate Lesson Plan: The Tik-Tok Dilemma

 

The lesson plan below is based on this news article and the subsequent script that ChatGPT helped me to create.

** Please note that the times allotted below are just a suggestion. You may find that your students need more/less time.

 

Moreover, as Readers Theater is usually done over the course of several days, this is something that can be tweaked and repeated in each reading session. It depends on your class time, school requirements, etc.

 

Overall, this lesson should take about 60 minutes to complete. If your class is shorter than 60 minutes, you may want to separate the "Text Modeling" and "Second Read Through" into separate parts.
