Analysis of the text:
What: The reading passage titled From Problems to Solutions briefly discusses how a problem was solved based on the topic of “cultural heritage protection”, that is, how to find a balance between promoting economic development and protecting cultural heritage. The article describes the process of emerging and resolving the problem in chronological order.
The first paragraph raises the question: Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge. The second analysis tells the story of the Egyptian government’s desire to build a dam on the Nile to control floods, hydropower and irrigate farmland, but this will cause damage to precious cultural heritage such as the Temple of Abu Simbel. Therefore, the Egyptian government turned to United Nations for help and started the big project of heritage protection. The third and fourth paragraphs narrate the process of solving the problem. After more than 20 years of efforts, a special committee composed of governments, environmentalists and scientists finally moved the cultural heritage and cultural relics to a safe place for preservation. Paragraphs 5 and 6 describe the results of problem solving and the great significance of this cultural heritage protection project respectively.
Why:Through the article, the readers could understand the complexity and difficulty of the problems in the process of cultural heritage protection, and recognize the key role of international cooperation in the problem-solving process, so that they can think about how to participate in the protection of cultural heritage.
How: The author describes the process of emerging and solving the problem in chronological order. The beginning and end of the article echoes and the structure is well-organized. The author clearly shows the problem emergence, problem solving and results by means of the timeline.
Analysis of the students:
This article is taught to the students who study in the first year of high school with a medium level of English.
Subject knowledge: After warm-up and listening classes, most students have a certain understanding and language accumulation of the cultural heritage and its protection. They can simply describe the characteristics and historical and cultural value of world cultural heritage. Besides, they can also propose one or two simple methods of cultural heritage protection.
Language ability: Through a semester of study and training, the students can read articles which have clear structure, such as articles organized in chronological and spatial order. Therefore, it is not difficult for students to sort out the development process of events according to the timeline. However, there are many new words in this article, which may cause some dyslexia for students. Teachers can use pictures, paraphrase and other forms to help students understand the core words.
Learning strategy: This article is relatively long, which will bring reading pressure to students to a certain extent. Teachers can arrange students to use the timeline to sort out the event development, and instruct students in the key information. And teachers can also help students sort out key information by mean of some structured tables.

Teaching reflection:
In this lesson, the teacher realizes the integration of language learning, cultural awareness and thinking quality based on the concept of English learning activities.
The teaching objectives of this lesson is comprehensive, reflecting the core competence of English subject. Each learning activity is student-centered, and have a clear logic, guiding students to figure out the questions from “problems” to “solutions” and then to the importance and spirit of cultural heritage protection step by step. In addition, the teacher pay attention to the cultivation of reading skills such as skimming and scanning, but also to the cultivation of deep reading ability such as summary. The information obtained is summarized, analyzed and evaluated with the problem chain and timeline to help students gradually deepen their understanding of the Aswan Dam project, so that students can really learn to read and read to learn. In addition, in the assignment of homework, teachers require students to introduce the local cultural heritage to foreign friends, and further summarize the solutions for protecting cultural heritage to deepen their understanding of local culture and enhance cultural self-confidence.
However, there is still room for improvement in the time allocations in this class. The pre-reading activities of this class are too long, resulting in a short time for follow-up output activities. Although students are willing to express themselves, they have limited opportunities to speak. Therefore, when setting the teaching design, the teacher should give more consideration to “doing subtraction”, leaving students more time to express.
