2. Share reasoning processes within groups to broaden problem-solving strategies.

3. Develop self-directed learning attitudes through presentations and peer feedback.

3. Lesson Flow (50 minutes)

(1) Introduction (5 minutes)

• Announce learning objectives: “Today we’ll focus on inference and ordering questions.”

• Motivation: Show a short past CSAT example, quick individual attempt, then reveal the answer.

(2) Development (35 minutes)

[Group Activity 1] Solving by Question Type (15 minutes)

• Each group receives a different type of question:

  • Group 1: Inference (fill-in-the-blank)

  • Group 2: Ordering sentences

  • Group 3: Sentence insertion

  • Group 4: Irrelevant sentence identification

  • Group 5: Main idea/topic

• Groups solve collaboratively → summarize reasoning on whiteboards/sticky notes.

[Group Activity 2] Presentation & Discussion (15 minutes)

• One student per group presents solution and reasoning (2–3 min each).

• Other groups ask questions or give additional input.

• Teacher confirms correct answers and highlights effective strategies.

[Group Activity 3] Integrated Practice (5 minutes)

• All students individually solve one CSAT-style integrated problem.

• Quick answer sharing → teacher gives brief explanation.

(3) Wrap-up & Assessment (10 minutes)

• Review today’s strategies (teacher provides summary handout).

• Group self-assessment: “How well did we cooperate and present?”

• Homework: Solve 3 CSAT reading questions (different types) for next class feedback.

4. Materials

• CSAT past exam questions (distributed by type to groups)

• Whiteboards, sticky notes, markers

• Teacher’s PPT (for explanations and answer checks)

5. Evaluation

• Process evaluation: group cooperation, participation in presentations

• Outcome evaluation: accuracy of answers, strength of reasoning

• Formative assessment: individual performance on wrap-up problem
