Activity 2 skimming

The students are asked to skim the text quickly and summarize the main idea of each paragraph.

By doing this, I can train the students’ reading skill—skimming. And before their skimming, I’ll remind them to find out the topic sentence of each paragraph.

Activity 3 careful reading

For paragraph 1: Video watching and completing a diagram

Get the students to watch a short video of Jane’s research with chimps.

This paragraph is a description of what Jane and her partners did in the forest. The video can turn the description in words into images. So it seems as if the students themselves went into the forest. Then a diagram will be shown to the students. It contains the main actions of the chimps. They have to complete it. By these two changes, the students can master the important words, phrases and sentences better.

For paragraphs 2-3: Retelling job

These two paragraphs are relatively long, so the students may have difficulties in classifying the content. Therefore I divided all the sentences into 3 aspects, that is, Jane’s difficulties, her discoveries and her contributions. According to the key words, they have to retell it.

By doing this activity, I can train the students’ language organizing ability to meet the demands of the new curriculum.

For paragraph 4: Question answering

It is a short summary to Jane and implies that women can do what they want to do as men. This paragraph is relatively short and easy to understand. So the questions are fairly easy and will be offered to the less talented students.

Step 4 post—reading

I designed 2 activities.

Activity 1: multiple choice questions

These questions are to help the students get a better understanding of the text. Some of them are about details, and some of them are inferences. Inference questions are more difficult. So I will give them to the top students, and the easier ones to less talented students. Therefore all the students can have the chance to participate in the class activities and achieve the pleasure of learning English. Thus task-based teaching method is used here.

Activity 2: qualities and looking for relevant sentences

It is an activity to consolidate what they have learnt in the class. Traditionally, a blank-filling task is often used in this step, but it is a passive activity. In order to get the students to learn actively, I designed this activity. Just get the students to look at the title and think about “what kind of student Jane is”. They will say many words, like hard-working, brave and so on. Then ask them to find out the sentences from which we can see these qualities. To do this job, the students have to read the whole passage more carefully again, and they will get a deeper impression of the language structure. Here students-centered teaching method is used.

Step 5 Discussion

The students will be divided into several groups to discuss the following questions.

1 Jane was brave enough to live in the forest. What difficulties do you think she was facing?

2 If you have the chance, will you do what she did?

This activity is to cheer the students to think deeply about Jane’s research and to practice their oral English.

Step 6 Homework

Activity : Thinking and Writing

The topic is “ though our grandmothers and mothers haven’t done something great like Jane, do you think they are great, too?” Give your reasons.

This activity is designed to train their writing skills and stimulate the students to become aware of the greatness of ordinary women. So greatness is close to the students’ daily life.

In class, I will use CAI, so there is no blackboard design.

That’s all. Thank you!
