Mama can offer good living conditions to her children and let them enjoy a happy life.) 引导学生通过阅读标题与插图进行内容预测,激发学习兴趣、激活背景知识,为创设阅读语境做好铺垫。 3’ Individual Work
Step 2 Have students go through the passage as quickly as possible and check their previous prediction. Does Mama’s bank account exist (No. Mama told a lie.) 引导学生带着预测阅读文本,从文中提炼主要信息,并与预测进行比对,从而提高对文学作品的认知。 5’ Class Work

A character is a person, or sometimes even an animal, who takes part in the action of a short story or other literary work. 3. A plot is a series of events and character actions that relate to the central conflict. 4. A conflict is a struggle between opposing characters or forces. 5.

The children grew up happily and the truth was not found out until one day, the daughter was told that Mama had never been in a bank all her life. To the children, Mama’s Bank Account stands for her love for them and security.) 学生通过提炼主要信息,获得故事文本的结构化知识,培养有效进行故事内容概括的能力。 5’ Individual Work

This detail shows that our parents can sacrifice a lot for us without any complaint or regret. We should take action to show our gratitude to them, who have devoted all their life to fostering us. ) How do you think good parents should treat their children (A good parent-children relationship should be set up on the basis of mutual understanding and respect. Parents should learn to listen to children’s ideas and encourage them to think on their own.) 创设既有意义又贴近学生生活的语境,使学生能够在语言实践活动中反思和再现个人的生活经历。 10’ Group Work
