And then give them a very simple outline of the passageand help the students to retell the text. At the school gate,….

Check the answers and read the dialogue. STEP 2 Reading the text againGet the students to read the text again. Get the students to work in groups of four and try to figureout what each paragraph is about. Part 1 A brief introduction to the trip. (Para. 1)Part 2 On the way to the Park(Para. 2)Part 3 At the gate of the Park(Para. 3)Part 4 Inside the Park(Para. 4-6)Part 5 Photos of the trip (Para. 7)STEP 3 Reading the passage paragraph by paragraphHave a wonderful timeGet some of the students to read the passage paragraph by paragraph, focusing on explaining the language points.

Put his photos on it for everyone to look at One thing to mention here is that I don’t mean to give the student such a huge structure to copy or to remember. What I want to do here is to help the students get the relations between paragraph and paragraph, between sentence sentences. This will definitely help them to improve their writing ability as well as the ability to organize their oral speeches. STEP 4 Reading the sentencesAs we are figuring out the outline, read the sentences and stop where language points can belocated. 1) Kitty’s teacher Mr. Wu invited me to join in their school trip to the World Park. (L. 4 – 5)Yesterday morning Mr. Wu and the other students met Kitty and me at the school gate. (L. 7 – 8)2) Then we got on a coach. (L. 8)We all got off quickly. (L. 15)3) The trip from Kitty’s school took about two hours. (L. 8 – 9)It took about two hours from Kitty’s school to the World Park in Beijing.4) There was a lot of traffic on the city roads but it got better when we were on the highway. (L. 9 – 11)The music was great. (L. 25)5) Finally, we arrived at the World Park. (L. 12)6) The sky was blue and everything was blue. (L. 12 – 13)7) We became very excited when we saw the Eiffel Tower from the coach!(L. 13 – 14)It (The trip) was boring. (L. 9)It was an amazing day. (L. 24)8) Kitty and I did not feel sick any more. (L. 15 – 16)9) We just wanted to go into the park and enjoy ourselves.(L. 16 – 17)Go and see for yourself! (L. 29)10) There are over a hundred places of interest from all over the world. (L. 19)over = more than11) The pyramids looked just like the real ones in Egypt. (L. 21) The Golden Gate Bridge looked just like the one back home too. (L. 21 – 22)12) You can see some photos of the trip on the Internet. (L. 27)13) Kitty’s classmate Daniel taught himself how to make a home page.(L.27 – 28)14) He put his photos on it for everyone to look at. (L. 29)Well, I don’t think it is a good way, if you just read, underline and then translate. What we should do here, form my point of view, is to get the students to find more sentences. Then use some consolidation exercises to check. STEP 5 Homeworka. Try to recite the passage by following the outline. b. Finish off the exercises in the Evaluation Handbook and Learning English. 。
