Text Analysis: Comprehending the structure of a biographical article (birth, interests, career development, achievements) to apply in future writing or reading tasks. III. Teaching Procedures Step 1: Lead - in & Warm - up (5 minutes) Show a picture of Neil Armstrong walking on the Moon and ask students: “Do you know who he is? What is he famous for?” Introduce the topic: “Today we’ll read an article about Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon. We’ll learn about his life, achievements, and the vocabulary related to space exploration.” Step 2: Pre - reading (8 minutes) Vocabulary Preview: Present key words (licence, astronaut, spin, leap, surface, citizen) from the article. Use pictures, definitions, or example sentences to explain. For example: Licence: a piece of paper that shows you are allowed to do something (e.g., a driving licence) Astronaut: a person who travels to space Have students practice pronouncing and spelling the words. Prediction: Ask students to predict what content the article will include (e.g., Armstrong’s birth, how he became an astronaut, his Moon - walking experience). Step 3: While - reading (15 minutes) Skimming (5 minutes): Students read the article quickly. Ask them to find the main idea: “What is the article mainly about? (Neil Armstrong’s life and his achievement of walking on the Moon)” Check answers and summarize the structure: birth → interest in flying → career (navy, test pilot, astronaut) → Moon mission → awards. Scanning (10 minutes): For vocabulary practice (Part B1), have students circle the correct meanings of words. Discuss answers as a class, focusing on how context helps understand word meanings. For timeline completion (Part B2), students scan the article to fill in Neil Armstrong’s life events. Walk around to help with information extraction. Check answers and clarify any confusion, e.g.: 1930: born in (1) Ohio, the USA 1936: took his (2) first flight 1946: received his student (3) pilot’s licence 1949: joined (4) the navy 1955: became (5) a test pilot 1962: became (6) an astronaut 1966: went into (7) space with David Scott 1969: became the first man to walk on (8) the Moon Step 4: Post - reading (12 minutes) Comprehension Check (Part B3 & B4): Do Part B3 (true or false) and Part B4 (answering questions). Students work independently first, then check in pairs. Go over answers as a class, explaining why some statements are false (e.g., “Three men from Apollo 11 walked on the Moon together” is false because only Armstrong and Aldrin did). For Part B4, emphasize using information from the article to answer questions accurately, e.g., “When did Armstrong become interested in flying? He became interested in flying when he took his first flight at the age of six.” Discussion & Extension: Ask students: “Why do you think Neil Armstrong is a great person? What can we learn from him?” Encourage sharing thoughts about perseverance, bravery, and contributions to science. Introduce other great people in space exploration (e.g., Yuri Gagarin, Yang Liwei) and have students briefly compare their achievements. Step 5: Summary & Homework (5 minutes) Summary (2 minutes): Recap the key points: Neil Armstrong’s life timeline, his achievement of walking on the Moon, and key vocabulary. Emphasize the structure of a biographical article for exam - related reading and writing. Homework (3 minutes): Ask students to write a short summary (60 - 80 words) of Neil Armstrong’s life using the timeline. Find one more fact about Neil Armstrong or another space - related great person to share in the next class. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Formative Assessment: Observe students’ participation in pre - reading, while - reading, and post - reading activities (vocabulary matching, timeline filling, comprehension questions). Check Part B1 - B4 for understanding of the article and vocabulary. Summative Assessment (for later): Evaluate students’ homework summaries for content accuracy and language use. Use a quiz to assess vocabulary retention and reading comprehension skills. V.
