1.warming up
I’d like to have a guessing game with my students. And I will describe several famous women and students need to guess who they are. After the guessing game, I will summarize the common features of those women and tell students they are women of achievements.
2.pre-reading
I will present some key words, pictures and the title of this passage to ask students to predict what the passage is talking about.
3.while-reading
First of all, I will give students 5 minutes to have a fast reading of this passage with two tasks. The first task is to skim the passage quickly and check whether their prediction is right and summarizing the main idea of this passage. The second task is to scan the passage and answer two questions: 1. Who is the protector? 2. What animals were observed? 3.What did Jane arrived in Gombe? Those two tasks can help students to practice the ability of skimming and scanning. For the careful reading part, I will let my students read the passage carefully and then fill in the chart. After this, we will have a competition of T/F questions. Each student tries to tell whether the sentences are T/F as soon as possible in order to gain points for their group. If he tells the right answer, he can get one point. If the statement is wrong and he can tell the reason, he can get double of the stars.
4.post-reading
First I will present some key words and phrases of this passage and make my students guess the meaning of them and then I will explain those words and phrases by giving examples. Then I will ask student to work in group of four and discuss “what can we learn from Jane ?” .
5.summary and homework
By the end of class, I’d like to make a summary with my students to retell the story according to the key words presented on the ppt. And the homework for student is to search more information about great women and choose one to make a poster.
