MODEL
LESSON
PLAN
HOW TO USE THE LESSON PLAN
Overview of Unit Format

Each unit of From Reading to Writing 2 consists of two thematically related chapters.
Each chapter is organized into two main sections—Reading and Writing—bridged by
a brief From Reading to Writing section.
• Each Reading section consists of pre-reading and post-reading activities, including
a reading skill.
• The From Reading to Writing section has two activities: a reflection on the reading
theme and a vocabulary practice designed for use in writing.
• Each Writing section begins with a model composition, teaches writing skill(s),
and ends with a writing assignment based on steps in the writing process.
Suggested Methods of Instruction

This lesson plan can serve as a generic guide for any chapter in the student book.
• Suggested methods for delivering instruction for each section or activity in a
chapter are presented.
• Alternative ways to handle each activity are provided under the heading
Variations. These options allow instructors to vary the way they treat the same
activity from chapter to chapter and in so doing to identify the methods that work
best for a specific class or individual students.
Pre-Reading
The activities in this section are designed to prepare students for the topics, themes,
and key vocabulary in the readings.
Discussion (approximately 15–20 minutes)

1. Give students a few minutes to read the discussion questions. Answer any questions.
2. Have students form pairs or small groups to discuss their answers. Tell them they
will report at least one of their answers to the class.
3. After 10–15 minutes, ask several students to share their answers.
Variations
• Use the opening art/photograph for the unit or chapter as a discussion opener for
the discussion exercise. Have students discuss or freewrite.
2 Model Lesson Plan

• After students have discussed the questions, ask them to write for 1–3 minutes in
answer to the questions. Have students exchange their writing with a partner or
group member and compare their ideas.
• Ask students to answer the discussion questions in writing at home. Have them
read their partner’s or group members’ answers in class and discuss their answers.
• Assign one discussion question per pair or small group. Have each pair or group
discuss the question and report their ideas to the class.
• Choose one discussion question and have each student do a one-minute freewrite
to expand ideas generated from the discussion. The students’ writing can be passed
around the class or reviewed in small groups to encourage further feedback and
discussion. The activity may also serve as a closure to the discussion.
Vocabulary (approximately 15–20 minutes)

1. Tell students they will be learning new vocabulary that is needed for the readings
in the unit. Tell them that all the vocabulary words targeted in this book are high-
frequency words, so they are very useful for English language learners. These
words occur in high frequency in English—in general English texts and in
academic texts such as textbooks.
2. Choose one or two words from the vocabulary exercise. Write the word(s) on the
board and ask questions related to the word(s) and the chapter theme.
3. Explain that each item gives a context for the target word. Illustrate how to
guess meaning from context. Ask students to identify the target word’s part of
speech, its possible synonyms, and/or clue words in the sentence.
EXAMPLE:
Ari can function well on little sleep. He feels rested and awake after sleeping
only three to four hours.
function: verb (possible synonyms: do, work; clue words: well, feels rested,
awake)
4. Have students complete the vocabulary exercise in pairs. Tell them to begin by
answering the questions that they are certain they know. Ask them to explain
unfamiliar words to their partners by using examples.
5. After 5–10 minutes, reassemble the class and help students with any words they
still don’t know.
6. Encourage students to create a system for recording and studying unknown
vocabulary words.
Variations
• Have students complete the vocabulary exercise as homework and discuss any
unknown words in class.
• Have students complete the vocabulary exercise as homework. Ask students to be
prepared to explain one word that they know well to the class. Students can use
examples to explain their word.
• In computer classrooms, students can create a PowerPoint presentation about one
or more words. They can present the word(s) to small groups or the entire class.
• Have students make an index card for each unfamiliar vocabulary word from the
exercise. Students should be prepared to present their cards to a partner.
Model Lesson Plan 3

• Establish a class vocabulary bank in a shoe box or a zippered plastic bag. Have
students work in groups to identify 3–5 of the most difficult words in the group
being studied. Groups can take turns creating vocabulary cards to be added to the
class word bank. Tell students who arrive early to class to work in pairs to study
words from the vocabulary bank.
Reading
Each unit contains two major readings, one per chapter.
1. Tell students to read every essay or article two to three times. They should also
preview every reading; before reading, they should study the title and any subtitles,
any photograph or art, the footnotes (words and definitions), and the bold-faced
target vocabulary words. Students should not use a dictionary the first time they
read; they should focus on understanding the main ideas of the reading even if
some words are unfamiliar.
2. The second time, they should reread and mark unfamiliar vocabulary words.
3. On the third reading, students can use a dictionary to look up words they don’t know.
4. Encourage students to get into the habit of underlining important ideas and
making marks in the margins to indicate important or unclear ideas.
5. Have students read the essay or article as homework. Tell students to follow the
above system of reading and be prepared to respond to questions about the main
ideas and details of the reading.
Variations
• Give students 5–10 minutes to read the essay or article in class, following the
recommended system. Do not allow students to use dictionaries during the first
reading.
• Use the timed reading practice to explain the benefits of faster reading. Explain that
research has shown that if readers push themselves to read at a faster than
comfortable rate, they often have a higher comprehension of the reading. Have
students use a large index card or folded white paper to cover up the lines in the
reading, moving the card or paper downwards on the page as they read. Students can
time themselves to increase their reading speed.
• Have students take turns retelling the main points of a reading as a whole or
paragraph-by-paragraph to a partner. Circulate through the room, assisting students
with difficult passages. Especially difficult passages may merit a whole-class
discussion.
• Have students do a one-minute summary of the introduction (or another section)
of a reading as a type of pop quiz. Teachers may wish to collect the summaries
and grade them, especially with students who are not keeping up with reading
assignments.
• Assign small groups the task of carefully rereading sections of a reading. One
group member should be prepared to explain the gist of the section to the entire
class, with other group members taking notes on main points and still others using
a dictionary to make vocabulary cards on difficult target vocabulary from the
passage.
4 Model Lesson Plan

• Divide students into permanent study groups. Study groups can serve as resources
inside and outside the class to discuss reading texts, help each other with difficult
passages, and check each other’s homework. They can also study together before
exams.
Identifying Main Ideas, Identifying Details (approximately 10–15 minutes)

These exercises are intended to check students’ understanding of the reading.
1. Tell students that main ideas typically are found in the introduction, in first
sentences of body paragraphs, and in the conclusion of texts.
2. Have students answer the questions in the first exercise individually. Answer the
first item of this exercise to make sure students understand the exercise. Have
students compare their answers with a partner and discuss any differences. As
they work, circulate and check their answers.
3. Ask students to try to do the second exercise without looking back at the text.
This tests their memory of details in the reading. Again, answer the first item of
each exercise to make sure students understand the exercises.
4. Have students compare their answers with their partners. Circulate and check
their answers.
Variations
• Have students complete the exercises at home and compare their answers with a
partner. Allow a few minutes for partners to check their answers and then go over
each exercise in class.
• Assign individual exercises or parts of exercises to specific pairs or small groups.
Ask a student in each pair or group to report answers to the class.
• Use the two exercises as a quiz to check if students have completed their assigned
reading. Have students answer the questions within 5–10 minutes and then have
partners score each other’s quizzes.
• One way to help students understand difficult sentences is to guide them to
identify the main parts of a sentence and to “unpack” complex phrases and
clauses. Explain that if students can recognize a sentence’s subject and verb, it
will be easier to understand the main point in a sentence. Also, being able to
identify the main noun and surrounding adjectives of a noun phrase/clause or a
main verb and surrounding adverbs of a verb phrase will make it easier for
students to understand ideas in the sentence.
EXAMPLE:
In second-century Rome, speakers and soldiers wore neck scarves called
fascalias to cover their throats from heat, cold, and dust.
• In the example sentence above, first ask students to identify the main subject
(speakers and soldiers) and verb (wore). Then ask students how the introductory
phrase relates to the subject and verb. Explain that In is a preposition and the noun
phrase second-century Rome is its object. Further explain that the noun phrases
and clauses in the sentence are underlined to show distinct groups of related
words. In the first group, Rome is the main noun and second-century functions as
an adjective. Work through sample sentences in this way to show students the
functions of various words and parts of a sentence.
Model Lesson Plan 5

• After you have used sentence parsing analysis to identify main sections in sample
sentences, have students practice analyzing sentences with a partner. Tell students
to explain to their partners the subject and verb of the sentence and identify the
main noun and/or verb of noun phrases/clauses and verb phrases/clauses. Circulate
through the room to ask and answer questions.
• Bring in outside readings, preferably on the topic of the chapter reading, to give
students additional opportunities to read and isolate the main ideas. Outside
readings should be short and easy enough to be read quickly in, for example, the
minutes before class begins or before the end of class. Have students read the text
two times and then ask them to state the main idea.
Reading Skill (approximately 10–15 minutes)

A key reading skill is presented and practiced in the first chapter of each unit.
1. Write the name of the reading skill on the board and explain it by using
examples.
2. Explain the individual steps or strategies in the reading skill by using examples
from the reading whenever possible.
3. Ask and answer questions to confirm that students comprehend the skill.
Practice (approximately 5–10 minutes)

1. Have students read the practice questions before they begin to answer the
questions. As students read, circulate and answer questions.
2. Have students work in pairs to answer the questions. Encourage students to refer
to the reading to find the answers.
3. Ask several students to report their answers to the class.
4. Ask students to explain why the reading skill was important in improving their
reading comprehension.
Variations
• Have students answer the practice questions as homework. Have them compare
their answers with a partner or group members. Ask several students to report their
answers.
• Have students answer the practice questions individually and raise their hands
when they think they have the correct answers. Circulate through the room and
check students’ answers. Then explain any missing answers and ask the students
with correct answers to report their answers to the class.
• Recycle reading skills/strategies from chapter to chapter. Scan each reading to
identify passages that can be used to re-teach the skills and strategies presented in
previous chapters. Be sure to reiterate to students that the class is reviewing a
previously studied skill/strategy.
• As a variation to the previous activity, have students find examples of a feature of
a reading that was previously studied, e.g., time connectors. Ask students to
explain the feature to a classmate in pairs or small groups.
6 Model Lesson Plan

From Reading to Writing
Reflecting on the Reading (approximately 10–15 minutes)

This discussion exercise prepares students for writing about the reading topics.
1. Give students a few minutes to read the discussion questions. Answer any
questions.
2. Have students form pairs or small groups to discuss their answers. Tell them they
will report at least one of their answers to the class.
Variations
• After students have discussed the questions, ask them to write for 1–3 minutes in
answer to the question of their choice. Have students exchange their writing with a
partner or group member and compare their ideas.
• Assign one discussion question per pair or small group. Have each pair or group
discuss the question and report their ideas to the class.
• Ask students to discuss questions such as: What was the most interesting piece of
information that you got from this chapter reading? What part of the reading did
you find boring? What part did you not understand?
Activating Your Vocabulary (approximately 10–15 minutes)

This exercise is intended to give students an opportunity to review the vocabulary
words they learned in the reading section and are likely to use in their writing
assignment.
1. Give students a few minutes to complete the exercise.
2. Have students form pairs and compare their answers.
3. Have several students explain their answers to the class.
Variations
• Have students complete the exercise at home and be prepared to discuss their
answers with a partner. Ask and answer questions that will elicit students’
comprehension of the target vocabulary words.
• Have students use one or more of the vocabulary words to write an original
sentence. Students can do this activity in class or at home and should be
encouraged to share and discuss their sentences in small groups.
Model Lesson Plan 7

Writing
This section consists of a model composition, a writing skill or skills, and exercises
to practice the skill(s).
Model (approximately 5 minutes)

A sample paragraph opens the Writing section, providing students with a model for
their own writing.
1. Explain that the topic of the model paragraph is similar to the student writing
assignment. Tell students to pay attention to the organization, content,
development, and language used in the model.
2. Begin by reading the title of the model paragraph. Ask students to explain the
meaning of the title and to predict the content of the paragraph based on its title.
3. Have students read the paragraph silently. After a few minutes, circulate and
answer questions about it.
Variations
• Read the paragraph aloud. Ask and answer questions about the main idea and
vocabulary.
• Have one student read the paragraph aloud. Ask and answer questions about the
main idea and vocabulary.
Writing Skill (approximately 10–15 minutes)

The writing skill(s) in this section are intended to include the most essential writing
skills for this level.
1. Use the blackboard liberally when presenting the main points of each skill. Use
examples from the reading in the chapter to illustrate the skill.
2. Read aloud sample sentences that illustrate points of the skill. Ask and answer
questions to ensure that students comprehend the skill.
3. Reread the chapter reading that students have already covered to isolate
examples from that text to illustrate the writing skill at hand. Explain this feature
to students.
Practice / Editing (approximately 10–15 minutes)

1. Have students answer the questions or edit the paragraph in pairs or small
groups. As students work, circulate and check their answers.
2. Ask several students to share their answers with the class.
Variations
• Have students answer the questions on their own and then compare their answers
with a partner and discuss any differences. As they work, circulate and check their
answers.
• When students finish the second exercise, ask individuals to explain their answers.
8 Model Lesson Plan

• Bring in additional readings of an appropriate length to illustrate the writing skill.
Have students read the texts and answer questions similar to those in the writing
skill exercise about this feature of the outside reading.
• Find additional exercises from the Internet or other sources to give students
practice with the skill. One easy way to practice paragraph organization, for
example, is to type up student paragraphs and cut them into strips. Have students
organize the strips into a logical paragraph. They can then compare their
paragraphs to the original ordering of sentences and discuss the logic of the
sentence order and the functions of sentences in the paragraph.
Writing Assignment
This section begins with one or several writing assignment choices. Students are then
walked through steps in the writing process.
1. Stress the importance of reading a writing topic carefully. When there are several
topics, explain that students should choose one of the topics.
2. Explain that writing is a process that involves several important steps. (1) First,
writers need to gather ideas before writing so they often read before they write
(as students did in this chapter). (2) Writers need to organize their ideas in an
outline before they write a rough draft. Explain that writing in English follows
standard organizational patterns. These patterns may differ from those used in
writing in other languages. (3) Now that they have an outline, students can write
a rough draft of their paragraph. (4) Checking their work (revising and editing) is
also essential so that students can then (5) write a final copy. Explain that these
steps are outlined in the Writing Assignment section of each chapter. Students
must do all of the writing steps, and they may sometimes go back to a previous
step if they change their ideas.
3. Step 2 can be done at home, but have students check their topic sentences with a
partner in class. Ask students to suggest ideas for the body and conclusion of
their partner’s paragraph.
4. Step 3—writing a rough draft—can also be done at home, but instructors should
have students write an ample number of rough drafts of compositions in class to
ensure that the students’ writing is their own. When students write outside of
class, emphasize that they will not benefit from having someone else write for
them. The craft of writing in a second language is enhanced through practice.
5. For Step 4—checking your work or your partner’s—have students use the
Writing Checklist at the end of each chapter and the Editing Symbols chart on
page 192. Explain any error types that students do not understand.
Emphasize that when students edit their partner’s paragraph they look for errors
in content and organization before grammatical or mechanical errors. Ask
partners to offer at least one compliment about their partner’s paragraph.
Variations
• Students should also understand common directive words that are used in writing
assignments, such as describe, explain, and contrast. If appropriate, choose a
directive word that could be used to express the writing assignment topic in the
chapter. Ask students to define the directive word and explain which ideas they
should include in their writing.
Model Lesson Plan 9
Writing Step 1: Get ideas (approximately 10–15 minutes)
The purpose of this step is to give students the opportunity to gather ideas to use in
their writing.
1. Read the writing assignment topic(s) aloud. Ask and answer questions to ensure
that students understand the topic(s).
2. Give students a few minutes to read the questions. Answer any questions.
3. Have students form pairs or small groups divided by writing topic. Tell students
to discuss their answers and tell them they will report at least one of their
answers to the class. Stress that it’s helpful for students to discuss their writing
topic in groups before they begin writing. (Sometimes this discussion results in
students changing their topic.) Stress that students should take notes during this
discussion.
Variations
• After students have discussed their answers, take one example and write it on the
blackboard. Have students discuss ideas the writer might include if they write on
this topic.
• Freewriting can also be used to gather ideas. Have students write without stopping
for five minutes on a chosen topic and then reread their writing to isolate (by
underlining or circling) the best ideas to use in their writing for this assignment.
Writing Step 2: Organize Your Ideas (approximately 10–15 minutes)

The purpose of this step is to help students focus their writing on one main idea and
organize their ideas logically.
1. Have students read the questions. After they read, ask and answer questions to
ensure that they understand the task(s).
2. Have students work on the task(s) individually. Circulate and answer questions
while checking their work.
Variations
• Have students work on the task(s) individually, and then compare their work with
a partner’s or in a small group.
• Step 2 can be done at home, but have students check their topic sentences with a
partner in class. Ask students to suggest ideas for the body and conclusion of their
partner’s paragraph. Circulate throughout the class to ask and answer questions.
• Have students prepare a very rough “outline” of ideas. The outline may consist of
a sentence or phrase representing the main idea of the paragraph followed by
numbered points written in phrases to be included within the paragraph. Next,
have students explain their rough outline to a classmate. Their partner should
respond by asking questions about any unclear ideas and making suggestions
about organizing the paragraph.
• This step presents another opportunity for students to return to their reading texts
to recognize how texts are typically organized. For example, find a well-organized
paragraph from a reading in the book, and have students identify its main and
supporting ideas.
10 Model Lesson Plan

Writing Step 3: Write your paragraph (approximately 10–15 minutes)
The purpose of this step is for students to produce a rough draft of their paragraph
based on the outline they came up with in Step 2.
1. Tell students that they will write more than one draft of their papers. Also point
out that they may write more than one rough draft before they are satisfied that
they have expressed their ideas in a clear and effective way.
2. Explain that good tools and atmosphere for writing are essential. From the
beginning of the term, students should find a quiet place and time to concentrate
on their writing. They should use the tool(s) that are most comfortable, e.g.,
pencil versus pen, computer versus paper.
Writing Step 4: Check your work (approximately 10–15 minutes)

The purpose of this step is to give students the tools to evaluate their own (or a
partner’s) writing and to edit it for grammatical errors.
1. Before students do this step, tell them to read the items in the Writing Checklist.
As they read, circulate and answer questions about each item on the checklist.
2. Tell students to evaluate their own writing in terms of each item. They should
put a checkmark if the feature is present in their composition. If it’s not present,
the student should revise the paragraph accordingly.
3. Direct students to the Editing Symbols chart on page 192. Go over the symbols
and example sentences. Make sure that students understand each symbol so that
they can use them to mark a partner’s writing as well as understand their
instructor’s comments.
4. Have students focus their self-editing on the specific grammatical point named in
each chapter. As students read their own compositions, circulate and check their
editing.
Variations
• Have students use the Writing Checklist to evaluate a partner’s paragraph. Ask
students to be prepared to explain why the composition does or does not include
each feature in the list.
• Or, simply have students read a partner’s paragraph and concentrate first on the
“big” ideas: the overall organization and content of the paragraph. Next, students
can comment on more detailed points, e.g., grammar, word choice. Student readers
should be prepared to explain their comments. These may be made in pencil
directly on their partners’ paragraphs or in another format, e.g., on a separate piece
of paper.
• Have students edit a partner’s paragraph for the specific grammatical point of the
chapter. As students read each other’s paragraphs, circulate and check their
editing.
• Ask students to practice their editing skills on sample paragraphs from students in
another class or from the instructor’s archives of student writing. Students can also
practice editing by revising sample sentences taken from student writing.
Model Lesson Plan 11

Writing Step 5: Write a final copy (approximately 10–15 minutes)
The purpose of this step is for students to write a final draft of their paragraph, using
the revisions from previous steps.
1. Emphasize that the final draft of a paragraph should be as clean of errors as
possible.
2. Have students review the Writing Checklist for the chapter as they make the
final refinements to their writing.
Variations
• Have students type their final draft on a computer and use the computer’s spelling
and grammar checks as editing tools. Be sure that students observe the
conventions of a typed paper, e.g., spaces after the ends of sentences, paragraph
indentation, name/date/class headings format, and appropriate font and size.
• If students use a computer, ensure that they know how to submit writing
assignments by e-mail attachment.

A Gift of Music
1 Tony Cicoria is a surgeon.1 He is a very good doctor, and until 1994, his medical career and
his family were the most important things in his life. But all of that changed at a payphone 2
in 1994. He was calling his mother at the time. As Tony explains, “The weather was
pleasant, but I could see storm clouds in the distance. After the call, I was still holding the
receiver 3 when I heard [a] . . . crack 4 and saw a flash of light come out of the phone and hit
me in the face.”
2 Tony remembers looking down at his own body on the floor. There were a lot of people
around him, and a woman was performing CPR.5 He thought that he was dead. Then he
was surrounded by a bluish-white light. He remembers a deep feeling of peace. At the
same time, he felt very excited about where he was going. But then suddenly, he was back
inside his body. The bluish-white light and the peaceful feeling were gone, and his head
and leg hurt, but other than that, he was fine. Believe it or not, he never even went to the
hospital.
3 However, a few days later, Tony started to feel strange, so he went to see a neurologist.6
Tony told him that he had been hit by lightning.7 The neurologist did some tests, and
everything looked fine. For the next week, Tony had trouble remembering people’s names
and the names of some illnesses, but those problems soon went away. It seemed that his
near-death experience had not done any lasting damage.

Unit Tests 45
4 But two weeks later, something much stranger started to happen to Tony. He suddenly
became completely obsessed 8 with piano music. This was especially strange because Tony
had never been interested in music before. He started listening to Chopin 9 all of the time.
Then, one year after the lightning strike, he started to have dreams about music in which he
was playing piano in a concert hall,10 in front of a large audience. The music was not
Chopin, however; he was playing one of his own musical compositions.
5 When he woke up from the dream, he wanted to write down the music. But there was one
big problem: He could not read or write music. So Tony started taking piano lessons.
Music became the most important thing in his life, and he heard it playing in his head all of
the time, like a radio. He began to get up at 4:00 A.M. and play piano until 6:30 A.M., when
he had to leave for work. When he got home from work, he gave his children a bath, put
them to bed, and played piano from 9:00 P.M. until 11:00 P.M. His wife was not happy about
his musical obsession, but Tony could not stop. He was certain that music was the reason
that he was alive. After a few years, his marriage ended, probably because of his obsession
with music.
6 It is now 15 years after Tony was hit by lightning. In spite of what happened to his
marriage, Tony believes that music is the best thing that ever happened to him. When he
plays his music for other people, he feels wonderful. He says the feeling is like the
peaceful yet exciting feeling he got when he almost died. Recently Tony gave his first
concert where he played one of his own musical compositions, Lightning Sonata.
7 Is there a medical reason for Tony’s sudden love of music? Did something happen to his
brain when he was hit by lightning? Or is his new interest in music an emotional reaction11
to almost dying? Tony does not know, but whatever the reason, he feels lucky to have this
musical gift.
