A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use pages 1–2 for learners and reserve page 3 for feedback. Begin with the printed warm-up and six-word matching task, focusing on replica, fragile and curator.
- Compare vocabulary choices, then read for the main idea before rereading the numbered paragraphs for detail.
- Find why originals sometimes stay behind glass and how replicas support learning; distinguish benefits from practical limits.
- Discuss museum rules, then outline the 120–150-word interactive-activity proposal with an object, visitor action and safety rule.
Support and extension
Support with an original / replica comparison. Accept accurate comprehension paraphrases; opinions need reasons, not the key's wording. Extend by asking learners to justify an activity's connection to the museum's story.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
