Lesson
2. Listen and circle the part of the infographic that is related to the conversation. 27 Tell students to identify the Glossary word in the infographic from Activity 1 and invite them to read its definition on page 110 and give some examples using it. Then, explain to them that they will listen to a short conversation that refers to one aspect from the infographic. Play Track 27 for them to listen to the reading of textual information and establish links with visual information. Check by asking them to show you what they circled. 3. Write five open questions about the infographic. Ask students: Which are the open questions? (the ones that start with a Wh- question word and have long answers). Organize the class into pairs, read instructions aloud, and give them some time to ask questions to check understanding. Suggest that they use the information on page 116 in the Appendix at the end of their books in case they need to recall how to write the questions. When all pairs have finished, invite them to ask their questions aloud and have the rest of the class answer them. Ask the question in the Time to Shine! box and elicit answers from different students; encourage them to specify which variety of chili is used in each case. Differentiated Instruction Activity 3: Use the Mini Lesson Strategy in case you feel that the entire class needs reinforcement concerning the use of Wh- question words to ask open questions.
