III. Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes)
Step 1 Lead - in (6 Minutes)
Show a newspaper article image about a crime and ask: “How do police solve murder cases? What information do they need to find the murderer?”

victim: the person who is harmed (e.g., “The victim in the case was a computer engineer.”)
Practice pronunciation and context usage.
Prediction (5 Minutes)
Look at the article title “25 - year - old Computer Engineer Murdered” and image. Ask: “What do you think the article will cover? Who might be involved?”
Step 3 While - reading: Skim & Scan (11 Minutes)
Skimming (3 Minutes)
Students skim the article to identify main sections: victim info, crime timeline, investigation, suspect details.
Check answers, discussing how headings and opening sentences outline the case.
