By melding information they have heard and read, students can clearly visualize the details of the unit's topic. Because the listening and reading passages either work together to solidify a broad understanding of the topic, or in opposition to provide both sides of the topic's underlying argument, the comprehension activities synthesize new knowledge. This blending of ideas allows students to compare the presented information in such a way that results in full understanding of the topic. Hot Topics was carefully developed with the discussion-style classroom in mind. The emphasis on discussion and conversation-building throughout the series provides valuable lessons in speaking, listening, and writing. 1.Preview the unit together as a class. Talk about the title of the unit, the pictures throughout the unit, and the title of the reading passage (if different from the unit title). Ask students what they know about the topic. 2.Have students answer the warm-up questions on their own, then ask volunteers to read their answers aloud to the class. 3. Review the Before You Read section together as a class. Ask students to think about the passage as they move through the unit. 4 Hotloplcsl 4. Have students work independently through vocabulary, listening, and reading sections. You will need to play the listening audio track for them. Review vocabulary words and useful expressions together. 5. Ask students to work through the comprehension activity on their own. Let them know that the class will soon be having a discussion about the unit. 6. As a class, review and answer the discussion questions. Allow for some debate and conversation. Acknowledge alternative viewpoints with positive feedback. There might not be 100% agreement, which is OK. 7. Break students into smaller groups based on the direction on the unit's writing activity. For essays and stories, students work independently and then share their writing with the class. Open the floor for some questions and discussion of the writing. For other activities, students will be able to work more collaboratively. Small groups work together to complete their tasks and then present their findings to the class. They build conversation and listening skills as they participate in interviews and debates. Again, allow the class to ask questions of presenters as well as decide who wins debates. By creating an open environment, students will be more comfortable participating in discussions and will take away more from the unit as they form their own ideas and opinions.
