1) Do you still remember something from our discussion on Egypt in Unit 1 and Unit 2
We talked about Toby traveling in Egypt and people’s curiosity about how the pyramids were built. Though we don’t know exactly how people at that time built them, we are quite sure of one thing, that is, all the pyramids were built for kings and queens. They expected to be buried there after their death. In spite of the harsh conditions, the Egyptians created this wonder of the world with their hands. It’s said the pyramids are as magnificent as a palace inside.
2) Have you ever read or thought about what is inside the pyramids
3) What do people nowadays call those buried in tombs
4) What are mummies and how are they made
5) What happened to these people after they entered the tombs

2) You’ve done a good job, expressing your opinions about the relationship between the title and the explorer and predicting the main contents of the article. That’s great. But to be more specific, can you anticipate what might be covered in the first paragraph of the article

Feedback
Mine: To tell the truth, it is a little difficult for students to predect information out of the text especially for those students who are not good at English therefore, as an English teacher. I should be of much patience and have many approaches. Usually, I will ask the students to remenber the keywords and some important sentences from the text. Sometimes I will ask the students to recite them. I will ask the students to look up the related knowledge about the text on the internet. In this way, the students will understand the text well, what’s more, it will greatly improve their reading ability. Because this reading strategy is very helpful and useful in developing students’ reading comprehension.
Yours:
