CImplement Dive Deep into Text - Non-Fiction Explanation

Non-Fiction Intensive Reading

Natural Disasters

Again this text is related to environmetal disasters, factors that have effects on the environment. There can be human or natural factors that affect the enviornment. This text discusses natural factors that affect the environment, and are referred to as natural disasters. This is related and relevant to current issues and events happening about climate change.

I fee that this text is well above the level of my inquiry learners, but I intend it to be a part of comprehensible input (i + 1) provided for these learners to be exposed to as part of their language and content learning.

Teacher and students read the text together using 'talk to the text' strategy and engaged on developing speaking skills too.
