and the language features of the short descriptive texts about animals. There are 25 tasks in Unit 1. One task belongs to the schema building stage.
Eight tasks belong to controlled practice stage. Three tasks belong to authentic reading practice stage. Nine tasks belong to focus on linguistic elements stage.
Two tasks belong to provide freer practice stage. Two tasks belong to introducing the pedagogical tasks. One task belongs to reflection.
Each task has different time allocation. The time allocation was determined based on the level of the tasks‟ difficulty. For example, the students have 5
minutes to complete Task 1 and 15 minutes to complete Task 3. It was because answering some questions related to the topic based on the students‟ real life is
easier than understanding the generic structure, the function, and the linguistic elements of the descriptive texts.
The teaching kits that are used depend on the kind of reading activities. The teaching kits that are used in this unit are pictures, missing pet flyers, worksheets,
and real objects which are the students‟ pets.
