- A CLOZE transcript for an authentic listening activity.

- Answer Keys.

Teachers may choose to use these readings in class; to print, laminate, and add to the class library for free reading; or to incorporate in a Fast Finisher system. You can also follow my Suggested Lesson Plan.

Suggested Lesson Plan

I include 3 Power Point presentations. The teacher will choose the level of difficulty: basic, expanded, or advanced. Each of the Power Point presentations is divided in 3 parts:

1- Pre-reading:

I include a picture with some of the soccer vocabulary that the students will later find in the text about Ronaldo.

The teacher will play the embedded audio, and the students will:

A. Listen and repeat each of the new words.

B. Listen and say the number that matches each word.

2- Reading:

The teacher will play the audio so the students can listen and read the text at the same time.

3- Post-reading:

After reading the text, students may have questions about the vocabulary, or they may want to talk about Ronaldo´s life. After this, I include a printable sheet with comprehension questions in English and Spanish. I also include a cloze test. The answer keys are included, so you can print them, check them on the computer, correct the exercises with your students on the interactive whiteboard,…
