This section Reading deals with an amazing man who contributed most of his time to making discoveries in Egypt and strange things that happened after his finding the tomb of the king Tutankhamen. Therefore, the teacher is supposed to use pictures and film excerpt to arouse Ss’ curiosity about the cruse and the mummy. Then, to emphasize the importance of the reading strategy of this unit, and actually because that Ss are intended to become better and more active readers, it would be a good idea to make a copmparison: prediction from title and from the first paragraph. After that, Ss can draw a conclusion that which one is the fast and suitable way to predict in advance and it’s essential for them to have such a good reading habit in the further study. Only with this feature can we grasp general idea in the smallest amount of time. In terms of reading contents, Ss need to get prepared for the detailed reading.

Feedback
Mine
To begin with, I’d like to say all pre-set aims have been very well achieved, and because that Ss were quite attracted by the topics (curse/mummy), therefore, they actively involved themselves into my each Task-based teaching procedure and understand article’s contents, structure and values step by step. The highlight of this class is Ss’ good participation and production during the discussion part. Not only were students from high level to low interested in it, but also this activity have Ss hold a belief that they will succeed in time as long as they hold on to the dream and work hard.
