Predict Before Reading

1. Look at the title.
In pairs or small groups, share what you know about Ford (the company, the cars, anything!). Then, make a list of 5-8 words you expect to see in a text about Ford.

2. Read the first two sentences of the text.
a. What does the word “revolutionised” make you think of? Can you think of another word that means something similar?
b. Think of something in the world that was revolutionised by someone or by a company. Explain your example to the class.
c. What do you think this text will explain?
