A set of two 45-minute lessons for Key Stage 3 English, with colourful Powerpoint slides, and a large number of possible follow-up activities. The aims are to enhance students' skill of scanning a text for specific information, while raising their awareness of the grammar of noun countability and the correct use of quantifiers in formal and informal situations. The topic also touches on media bias in disaster reporting.
The first lesson starts with optional background music to a lively kinaesthetic reading activity in which students find the answers to quiz questions on lesser known facts about the Titanic. This is followed by a pairwork reading activity on a more recent shipping disaster in which many more people lost their lives. The grammar point is clarified in the context of the shipping disasters, while follow-up activities can be used to consolidate understanding, promote correct usage, and practice speaking and writing skills in enjoyable ways.
