MICROTEACHING PLAN

Level: upper-intermediate Age of students: 17 Date: 7.12.2010

Topic: Crime and punishment.

1. Pre-reading:

• a short discussion about crime and punishment in general, e.g. the teacher asks the students what types of punishment they know,

• the teacher shows the students three pictures presenting different offences,

• the students try to guess what crimes are presented and think what punishment would be appropriate in these situations.

2. While-reading:

• the students are given handouts with a text `Making the Punishment Fit the Crime' about creative punishment,

• they are asked to read quickly through the first three paragraphs and say what sentence the judge gave for the crimes discussed earlier,

• the students read the article again and answer two comprehension questions.

3. Post-reading:

• the teacher asks the students what they think about the judge's system of punishment,

• the students are given three examples of different crimes and are supposed to write a few sentences about what creative punishment they would choose for them if they were the judge,

• the teacher tells the students what the judge's sentence was.
