III. Teaching Procedures

 1. Warm-up: Travel Guessing Game

- Show pictures of famous attractions around the world (e.g., Eiffel Tower, Great Wall, Red Square, Alexander Garden) one by one on the multimedia screen.

- Ask students to guess the names of the places and the countries they are in. For each correct guess, the student gets a small sticker.

- After showing the picture of Red Square and Alexander Garden, ask: "Do you know which country these places are in? Would you like to visit it?" Invite several students to share their answers.

- Class Discussion: Pose the question "Have you ever been to a place that left a deep impression on you? What did you learn from that trip?" to the whole class. Let students raise their hands and share their stories. Walk around to encourage more students to participate.

 2. Pre-reading: Vocabulary and Prediction

- Vocabulary Introduction with Interaction:

    - Show pictures of the attractions mentioned in the diary (Victory Museum, Moscow Metro, Red Square) on the multimedia screen. For each picture:

        - Hold up a flashcard with the attraction's name. Say the name aloud and ask students to repeat after you.

        - Ask questions to engage students, e.g., for Victory Museum: "What do you think people can learn from the Victory Museum?" Let students discuss in pairs for 1 minute, then invite pairs to share their ideas.

        - For Moscow Metro: "Look at the picture of the Moscow Metro. How does it make you feel? Why?" Have a whole-class discussion, calling on different students to answer.

- Prediction Activity:

    - Show the diary entries (17 July and 18 July) with the content covered. Ask students: "Vincent is writing about his holiday in Moscow. What do you think he might write about? What places do you think he visited?"

    - Divide students into groups of 3 - 4. Give each group 3 minutes to discuss and write down their predictions.

    - Each group sends a representative to share their predictions with the class. Write the predictions on the blackboard and praise creative ideas.

3. While-reading: Comprehension Activities

- Activity 1b: Read and Answer Questions (Pair Work)

    - Distribute handouts of Vincent's diary entries (17 July and 18 July).

    - Ask students to read the diaries carefully. Then, pair up with a classmate.

    - Assign the two questions: "1. What places did Vincent visit? 2. How did he feel during the trip?" to each pair.

    - Give students 8 minutes to read and find the answers together. Walk around to provide help, such as guiding students to find key sentences in the text.
