Warming up and lead-in (5 mins) “Interest is the best teacher.” Therefore, at the very beginning of the

11、 class, I should SPARK the students mind to focus on the centre topic “women of achievement” 1. Show 4 pictures of great women of the world, such as Ms. Song Qingling, J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter), Margaret Thatcher and the last one Jane Goodall. 2. Let students guess who they are and what

12、they achieve. After this, the students will be eager to know who Ms. Jane Goodall is and this is the very time to naturally lead the class into Step 2 Step 2. Reading for information: Skimming and scanning ( 9 mins totally)In this step, I use Task-based Language Teaching method, which can give stude

13、nts a clear and specific purpose while skimming and scanning the context.Task 1 General idea (3 mins)Prediction is an important skill in grasping the idea of a contest. Consequently, I let the students predict the general idea before they read in this task. a.Read the title and enjoy the two picture

14、s of Ms. Goodall on Page 2 to predict the general meaning of the text.b.Then skimming Para1 & 3 as fast as possible and summarize the general idea: The passage is mainly about how Jane Goodle worked with chimps in their environment and help people understand and respect the life of these animals.Tas

15、k 2Main idea of each paragraph. (6 mins)Cooperative learning can raise the students interest and create an atmosphere of achievement. Based on this theory, I divide the whole class into 4 groups to skim the whole text and get the main idea of each paragraph. Para 1. How the group followed Janes way

16、of studying chimps in the wild. Para 2. What Jane discovered about chimps Para 3. How Jane tries to protect the lives of chimps in their natural habitat. Para 4. Jane Goodalls achievementsStep 3. Reading for prehension (5 mins) The purpose of reading is to get the correct and useful information. Stu

17、dents should not only have a high speed of reading but also have a correct understanding of details. Therefore the following practices on Page 3 can help check the situation.Choose the correct answers after reading the passage.1). What did the group do first in the morning?

20、ages B gain a doctors degreeC understand and respect the lives of chimpsD live in the forest as men canStep 4 Solving difficult language problems through reading (10 mins) Its important for language learners to learn important rules of grammar and use these rules to solve problems in reality. In the

21、 previous process of reading, the students must e across some difficult language obstacles, so its necessary for us to discuss and explain. This period of time belongs to students. They can ask any questions they e across in the process of learning. The purpose of this is improving the students “que

22、stioning spirit” and dealing with the difficulties. e.g. 1. Let students find out the “ing” forms and translate the sentences e.g. a. Following Janes way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them 我们一行人准备按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去拜访他们。 b. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of

23、 the day. 我们当天的首项任务就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。 c. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree这意味着我们要回到前一天晚上我们离开时黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。 2.

27、ecording their daily activities. For 40 years, Jane has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.
