Step1 Revision

T: In the second period of this unit, you learnt some detailed information about the Tangshan Eearthquake. Can you use several sentences to summarize the passage?

S: Let me have a try. The terrible earthquake struck the city of Tangshan while people were sleeping. More than 400 000 people were killed or injured in the quake. After the quake, people found nearly everything was destroyed. But people in Tangshan didn’t lose heart. They rebuilt the city with the help of soldiers.

T: Quite good.

Step 2 Reading and Comparing

T: In the first period, we also talked about the earthquakes that happened in San Francisco. Today, we will learn a passage titled “The Story of an Eyewitness”, which is about the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906. It was written by Jake London, who was a famous American writer.

T: First read the passage carefully. While reading, please think about the following questions:

(1) How did the author feel about the earthquake?

(2) How did the author feel about the people of San Francisco?

(Ss read the passage, then the teacher asks someone to give their answers and checks the answers)

(Answers will vary.)

T: Quite good. You can keep your own answers as long as you think they are reasonable and you can find proofs from the passage.

Read the first paragraph in this passage .Then go back and read again the first paragraph of the passage on Page 26. Compare the ways both writers give you details about the earthquakes. Try to finish the 4 exercises on Page 66. You may discuss in group of three.

(Ss read the two passage and finish the exercises.)

(Then the teacher checks the answers.)

T: Next I will play the tape of this passage for you to listen. Please pay special attention to the intonation.

(After listening.)

T: Now I will give you several minutes to read the third paragraph with feelings.

Step 3 Listening

T: Just now we learned a passage written by an eyewitness about the terrible San Francisco earthquake in 1906. Now we will listen to a story told by a man who was a survivor of the earthquake. Listen to the tape the first time, and try to tell whether the statements in part 1 are true or false.

(Teacher plays the tape for the students to listen and finish the task.)

(After listening, the teacher checks the answers with the class.)

T: Now let’s listen to the tape again and try to answer the questions in Part 2.

(After listening, the teacher checks the answers)

T: While listening to the tape, you should not only pay attention to the contents, but also the pronunciation and intonation. The sentences in Part 3 show us the sequence. I will play the tape again, you should mark liaison and incomplete explosion in these sentences. Then practice reading them aloud.

Step 4 Homework

T: In this class we read and listened to two stories ,both of which are about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The stories are true and were written for the Museum of the City of San Francisco. The museum has many such personal accounts and photos at http://www.Sfmuseum.Org/1906/06.html. If you are interested in them, you can surf in the site I’ve given to you.

Step 2 Listening

T: These days Earthquakes are always our central topic. We have learned many things about it. Up till now, earthquakes are difficult to predict. We can hardly avoid an earthquake. But actually we can do things to reduce the losses of an earthquake. Let’s look at the form on Page 66 and have a discussion about the earthquake plan with your partner.

( Ss give their answers)

T: What should you do if you are outside?

(Ss give their answers)

T: What should you do if you are in the living room?

(different answers)

T: What should you do if you are in the house room?

(different answers)

T: Next we are going to listen to the tape and write down the three “things” that are mentioned.

(After listening, teacher checks the answers with the students.)

T: Then let’s listen again. This time you should write down more details about each of the “things”.

(After listening, teacher checks the answers with the class. Play the tape again if necessary.)

Step 3 Speaking

T: You know every family should have an earthquake bag, in which there are enough things that you can use in case of an earthquake. Here we have a list of possible items for the personal earthquake bag. Choose only eight things, which you think are the most essential, from the list. They must last you five days. Discuss with your partner.

(After several minutes.)

T: Now join another pair and discuss your choices. Put all the things you agree on into a final list. Discuss the other items explaining your reasons and trying to agree which ones are the most suitable.

(After several minutes.)

T: Each group should choose one representative. Now be prepared to present your list to the class and give your reasons for each choice.

Step 4 Learning Tip

T: In order to learn a language well, you should do a lot of practice, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. Only when we understand what is said to us can we have a conversation with somebody. So listening to English is very important. After class, you should listen to the English news on CCTV International. You will not only get a lot of information about what is happening around the world, but also improve your listening and learn more English words and expressions. At the same, you will improve your pronunciation and intonation.

Step 5 Summing up

T: Now let’s sum up what you have learnt in this unit. Work with your partner. First write down what you have learned about earthquakes. Then write down the verbs, nouns, expressions and new grammar items that you have learned from this unit.
