teaching english through texts

hi,
I am preparing for being a english teacher. i have downloaded tons of sample and mock exams to prepare. the structure of the exam is as it follows: 3 main items on a a text at first sight basis. the problem is that the majority include o subject in which we have to use the given text an build up a 50-minute lesson a specific english level, a particular activity using the text.
would you please give me some hints how to use the texts in creative manner, so as to teach language skills deductively (or at least to arouse the students � curiosity and interest).
thank you very much
