The purpose of this stage of the lesson plan is to ensure that students develop practical and applicable reading and text interpretation skills. These competencies are essential in both academic contexts and the job market, where good text comprehension can influence decision-making, effective communication, and problem-solving. By focusing on interpretation and inference of texts, students become critical readers capable of extracting relevant information from different sources.

Main Objectives

1. Read and interpret texts from various genres.

2. Understand the main meaning of the text.

3. Make inferences about the text.

Side Objectives

1. Develop the ability to identify different types of texts.
2. Practice the ability to summarize texts concisely.

Introduction

Duration: 10 - 15 minutes

The purpose of this stage of the lesson plan is to introduce the topic in an engaging way, showing students the practical relevance of reading and text interpretation skills. This will help motivate them and establish a connection between the studied content and their future professional experiences.

Contextualization

Reading and understanding texts are fundamental skills not only in the school environment but also in various everyday and professional situations. One example is when we need to understand a recipe for cooking, interpret instructions for assembling furniture, or even comprehend a work contract. These skills allow us to extract relevant information, make informed decisions, and solve problems effectively.

Curiosities and Market Connection

In the job market, the ability to read and interpret texts is highly valued. For example, marketing professionals need to analyze advertising texts and market reports to create effective campaigns. Journalists interpret information from various sources to write accurate news. Additionally, in professions such as law and medicine, accurately understanding legal documents and scientific articles is essential for professional practice.

Initial Activity

To start the class, present a short video (2-3 minutes) on how different professionals use reading and interpretation of texts in their daily lives. After the video, ask the following provocative question to the students: 'Have you ever thought about how reading and interpreting texts can influence your future careers?'

Development

Duration: 60 - 65 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to consolidate students' learning through practical and reflective activities, ensuring they develop relevant and applicable reading and text interpretation skills in academic and professional contexts.

Covered Topics

1. Reading and interpretation of narrative texts
2. Reading and interpretation of informational texts
3. Reading and interpretation of advertising texts
4. Inference and critical analysis of texts

Reflections on the Theme

Guide students to reflect on how careful reading and the ability to interpret different types of texts can influence their daily lives and future careers. Question them about situations where the ability to deeply understand a text made a difference in their decisions or actions. Encourage them to think about how these skills are valued in various professions and in the job market.

Mini Challenge

Group Text Interpretation Challenge

Students will be divided into groups and will receive different types of texts (narrative, informational, and advertising). Each group must read and interpret the text received, identifying the main meaning, making inferences, and discussing the most relevant information.

Instructions

1. Divide the class into groups of 4 to 5 students.
2. Distribute different types of texts to each group (one group will have a narrative text, another an informational text, and so on).
3. Instruct the groups to read the text together and discuss the following questions:
4. What is the main meaning of the text?
5. What is the most important information?
6. What inferences can be made from the text?
7. Each group must prepare a brief presentation (3-5 minutes) to share their conclusions with the class.
8. Facilitate the presentation of each group and promote a collective discussion about the different interpretations presented.

Objective: Develop the ability to read and interpret different types of texts, promoting group collaboration and the capacity to make inferences and critical analyses.

Duration: 30 - 35 minutes

Evaluation Exercises

1. Distribute a list of questions related to the texts discussed, asking students to answer individually. The questions should focus on identifying the main meaning, making inferences, and analyzing important information.
2. Example questions: 'What is the central theme of the text?', 'What are the main pieces of information presented?', 'What conclusions can you draw from the text?'
3. After completing the answers, organize a collective correction session, discussing the answers and clarifying any doubts.

Conclusion

Duration: 10 - 15 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to consolidate learning through a recap of the main points covered, ensuring that students understand the importance of the developed skills. The final discussion allows students to reflect on what they learned and how they can apply this knowledge in real situations, reinforcing the connection between theory and practice.

Discussion

Promote a final discussion involving all students. Ask how reading and interpreting the different types of texts presented in class can be applied in their daily lives and future careers. Encourage them to share situations where these skills made or could make a difference in their decisions and actions. Also address perceptions about the group challenge and how collaboration helped in understanding the texts. Discuss the conclusions of the fixation exercises and clarify any remaining doubts.

Summary

Summarize the main content presented during the class, highlighting the importance of reading and interpreting narrative, informational, and advertising texts. Recap the techniques of inference and critical analysis discussed and how these skills were applied in the mini challenges and practical exercises.

Closing

Explain how the lesson connected theory to practice, showing the relevance of reading and text interpretation skills in the job market and daily life. Emphasize the importance of continuing to practice these skills to become critical and efficient readers. Conclude by highlighting how precise text comprehension can positively influence communication, decision-making, and problem-solving in various areas of life.
