Anticipated Errors and Solutions:

Problems	Solutions
Ss may not be able to find details from the text.	Let Ss read the text together, showing where they can find the details.
Ss may need more time to work on group-work.	If group-work takes more than 10 minutes, give them 2 more minutes to have a conversation with their partners and having fewer students to present their ideas.
Ss may finish the group-work earlier than expected.	Ask as many students as possible what kind of ideas they had and share the reason for choosing one specific unofficial holiday.
Ss may not understand the key vocabulary.	Give Ss additional vocabulary checking worksheet to help them understand the use of the words.
