Warming Up, Pre-reading and Reading
Period 1 Warming up and pre-reading.
Step 1 Lead-in.
Poem By Li Shen
Farmers weeding at noon,Sweat down the
field soon.
Who knows food
on a tray,Due to their toiling day.
Then let one
student recite the poem in Chinese.
Step 2 Warming up by questioning
Hello, everyone. We shall read about
man who works the land today. Have you ever grown
any
plants? If not, what kind of plant
would you like to grow? How will you grow it?
(For reference: Mr. Li, I worked with
my father in the rice field last year. We grow
hybrid rice and
use animal wastes to
make the soil rich.)
Has anyone of you
ever been to the countryside? What did you do
there?
(For reference: I went to
Chuankou the day before yesterday. It is a small
mountain village 75 li
north of
Beijing. I went there to visit
my
uncle’s family
.
I like that
small beautiful village very
much. )
Who are from a farmer’s family? What do
you know about farming?
Step
3 Pre-reading and talking
Questioning and answering
Rice
is
main
food
in
South
China.
What
do
you
think
would
happen
if
tomorrow
there
was
suddenly no rice to eat?
(For reference: Then the south people
would have to change their eating habit. They
could turn to
potatoes, wheat flour,
cow and sheep cheese, cabbage, onions and garlic
for food. They are the
bases of the
traditional food in North China. )
If
you had the chance to do one thing to help end
hunger in the world, what would you do?
(For
reference:
I
would
try
to
end
hunger
by
popularizing
the
advanced
farming
techniques.
Modern techniques could be introduced
to increase the rice output, and expand the area
of fields.)
Giving
background information about Professor Yuan
Longping
Have
you
ever
heard
of
a
man
called
Professor
Yuan Longping?
Would
anyone
of
you
tell
the
class something about him?
(For
reference:
Professor
Y
uan
Longping
is
a
Chinese
agricultural
scientist.
Professor
Yuan's
breakthrough
scientific achievement led to the world's first
successful and widely grown hybrid
rice
varieties, revolutionizing rice cultivation in
China and tripling production over a generation.
His approach to rice breeding then
spread internationally throughout Asia and to
Africa and the
Americas, providing food
for tens of millions and leading to his becoming
known as the
Hybrid
Rice.
Step 4. Reading

Comprehension
