elements (that are not the main body of the text) help readers to find specific information easily and to better understand the main text, like tables of contents, images, glossaries, etc. You may suggest students to read the information provided in the Appendix and encourage them to find these sections in the books they have in the classroom or in the school library. Once you do it, tell them to identify the three glossary words on this page. Have them go to page 108 and invite some volunteers to read the definitions aloud. Then, you may organize the class into pairs, read the instruction aloud, and give them some time to recognize how text features are organized in a book by labeling the parts. Tell them to use the words provided on page 116. Monitor while they work and check orally. Finally, elicit how each of these sections may help them find specific information (table of contents: the main sections or chapters of the book; heading: the content of a section; subheading: the content of a subsection; glossary: unknown words; index: a specific page on which they may find a term; fact box: key facts related to a theme). Have students share if they used any of these parts to find the information they researched for their product. Differentiated Instruction For this activity you can use the Choral Response Strategy to check the activity encouraging shy students to participate. 2. Listen and analyze with your partner which pieces of information from this text may contribute to answer the questions you wrote on page 57. 21 108 You may explain to students that they will listen to some information related to the problems that could be caused by prolonged sun exposure and that maybe they will find useful information to answer their questions. Give them some time to read their questions before you play the track. Finally, play Track 22 and have them perform the task. Invite volunteers to share the information they selected.
