Step 1 Revision: Have a brief review of what the students have learnt in the previous reading class. Step 2 Pre-listening Activity 1: Shackleton and a team tried to sail to another island to find help. Look at the picture below and discuss the challenges you think they faced. (学生根据图片预测Shackleton和他的救援队可能遇到的困难和挑战,为后续听力做铺垫。) It was very cold, and the island was covered with heavy snow and ice. The steep mountains also added to their difficulty in climbing. It was also very hard to know where they were going because the place was very large and looked almost the same. On top of the physical challenges, they were mentally challenged facing those conditions and not knowing what to expect.

Let’s look at Frank Wild. B: He is a good leader and is experienced in exploring the Antarctic. So, I think he’s suitable to join the rescue team. C: Hmm, I think we should move on to the next sailor. According to Perce’s diary entries, Frank Wild was left with the other crew members on Elephant Island. A: I agree. Let’s move on to the next candidate. What do you think about Frank Worseley B: Well, he is ... Activity 5: Present your selections to the class. My group chooses Frank Worsley and Tom Crean as the two members for the rescue team. Frank Worsley was an excellent navigator, so he could use his skills to guide them across the dangerous sea. Tom Crean was strong, energetic, and brave, so he would be very useful on the dangerous mission.
