This document outlines activities for a reading lesson on "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. It includes three main segments: 1) A schema activation activity using flashcards to discuss concepts like pain and death. 2) A controlled listening practice with a character questionnaire and rearranging messy sentences from the story. 3) An expansion activity where students rewrite an alternative ending, create a video summarizing the plot, and make a glossary of new words. The goal is to foster reading skills, vocabulary acquisition, and interaction of language and social variables.
