Pre-reading
Step 1 Have students work in pairs to answer questions on Page 16. (As I become a teenager, I get taller and stronger and start to look like an adult. But sometimes I feel shy about how I look, because I look different from my friends. Mentally, I feel more independent in what I do, like making my own decisions. Consequently, I prefer to spend more time with my friends but my parents may get angry with me. In this case, I would speak to my parents so that they understand how I feel. I think it means that parents and teenagers feel as if they do not know each other very well anymore even though they have lived together in the same house for many years. This often happens when children become teenagers because the way they look, think and do things changes. Parents sometimes do not understand or accept these changes easily and teens become angry with their parents.) 利用问题,激活学生已有的背景语言知识,导入主题,创设互动情境,拉近沟通距离,引起学习兴趣。 5’ Individual Work
Step 2 Have students work in pairs to predict the contents of the article. Look at the title of the text. Why are family members called “strangers” by the author (While family members are thought to be close, in reality they will have different opinions on the same matter. Without an honest and peaceful communication, things will easily turn into heated arguments and cold silences as if family members didn’t know or care about each other, just like “strangers”. By creating such a contrast, the author intends to arouse our interest to read the article.) What could be discussed in this article (This article might focus on conflicts between family members.) What is the use of questioning in the title (In the form of a question, the title indicates that parent-child relationships are not meant to be distant or tense, and tries to arouse the interest of readers.) 引导学生预测阅读内容,探知文本结构和脉络;体会文章标题“Strangers— under the same roof ”使用疑问句并制造反差,吸引读者的注意力的手法。 5’ Group Work
