Lesson 3. A fork in the Road of Life
This self-access reading is for high school 3rd grade students who are studying English with the textbook, high school English 2, written by Chan Gyu Min et al and published by Joongang in 2010. My target learners' level would vary but especially, intermediate level because those kind of reading(story) not include high-level language forms.
Lesson 2 "A fork in the Road of Life" has a touching story that a nurse decided to study nersury after she overcame a severe disease. Therefore, I collected instructive reading materials about other moving stories which can give lessons for English learners. Those resources would help learners as supplements of textbook, especially as out-class assignment.
I chose the chapter because it includes attractive factors; personal story can get readers' interest and also they can associate those kind of authentic stories with their own experiences. Therefore, I expect students not only to finish treasure hunt activity but also to appreciate stories and feel something of life. In addition, 3rd reading is not just a story; it's a poem. I intend that learners have a opportunity to read poetry in this reading activity.
