Warm-up and Objective Discussion (Brainstorming) 10mins

Teacher greets students and asks if they have heard about the new restaurants’ opening at the
weekend. Teacher shows a picture of a restaurant and asks questions below:
-Have you ever been in a restaurant?
-What was the name of it?
-How was your experience?
-Do you remember what you ate?
-Do you remember the price of a coke?
After ss. answer these questions, the teacher shows a menu to them and asks if they have
recognized it. Teacher says “So today we are going to scan this menu and work on it. At the
end of the lesson, you will be able to answer questions about the menu and choose what to eat
according to given information.”

Instruct and Model 7mins X R ❑ W ❑ L ❑ S

So let’s start by examining the menu. (Teacher distributes or shows the menu on the
whiteboard) Please read the names of the food and drinks, check the prices. (Gives time to
students 2-3 mins.)
This menu is a bit scrambled, we need to categorize them. (Teacher runs a MSOffice
document which has an empty version of the menu. Since students have a copy of the original
menu, the teacher continues;)
Here you see the cheese burger, which section should we put it? Yes, the food/snacks.
(Teacher writes Cheese Burger in the snacks section.)
How much is it? (Teacher elicits the answer and writes it next to the hamburger.)
Okay, next one is Fresh Orange Juice. Where should we put it? (Teacher elicits the answer and
writes it in the Beverages section.)
How much is it? Scan your scrambled menus. (Teacher elicits the answer and notes it next to
the Fresh Orange Juice.)
 Guided Practice (Scanning) 8mins X R ❑ W ❑ L ❑ S
So this is what I want from you. Teacher distributes an empty copy of the menu as a handout.
And asks students to fill it in as the teacher has just done on the whiteboard.
This continues until they finish the whole menu. The teacher helps students if they need. After
the teacher prints the new menu. (or has it already.)
