Lesson plan 10
**** T gives feedback and discusses with the class
and
elicits
the
difference
between
‘community
service’
and
‘volunteering’,
e.g.
Community
service can be either voluntary or compulsory, so
volunteering
is
just
one
type
of
community
service.

* T asks Ss to read the text again and complete the
exercises.

4. Activity 4: PLAY WITH CARDS.
* T puts Ss into pairs. Ask each pair to prepare two
quiz questions based on the reading text and write
them on cards or pieces of paper, e.g. How many
types of community service are there? Why does
the writer think volunteering isn’t always selfless?
** T collects the cards, shuffles them and spreads
them (face down), on a table in front of the class.
Invite pairs to take turns to come to the table and
turn over a card.
*** Ss read the question and answer it. Ss get one
point for a correct answer. If the answer is wrong,
they should put the card face down in the same
position.
**** T checks the answers and gives feedback.
