In lesson 39, the instructor guides students through a reading comprehension exercise centered around a text titled “Il mio cane Gino” (“My Dog Gino”), explaining how to extract key information from the title and accompanying image. The lesson includes two main exercises: the first requires students to find specific details about the dogs, Gino and his partner, such as their names, ages, breeds, and Gino’s stature; the second exercise involves identifying the location of Gino’s house and answering questions regarding potential names, home, or clothing for puppies. The instructor emphasizes reading questions first to better understand what information to look for in the text.
