T: Good morning / afternoon everyone!
Ss: Good morning / afternoon, Sir / Madam!
T: Yesterday I asked you to preview the reading passage on Page 23. It’s chosen from someone’s diary. What does the writer write about
Ss: The writer reflected his or her experience of snorkeling on the reef. He / She described the animals and the scenery under the sea.
T: Good job!
StepⅡReading (1)
Reading and discussing P24
T: Almost every one of you likes to watch the programs about the sea and the sea life. That’s a great enjoyment. Don’t you think so If you have a chance to go on a snorkeling trip, how will you feel
Ss: We’ll feel crazily happy. / That would be the most fantastic thing. / It would be the most exciting thing in my life ...
T: Yes, I can understand your feelings. Now listen to the tape going with the passage on Page 24 without looking at your textbooks. Try to count how many sea animals the writer mentions in his/her dairy. Let’s begin!
Play the tape for the Ss to listen to and let the Ss try to write down the names of the sea animals mentioned in the diary. After that, check the job by asking someone to tell the names of the sea animals.
T: How many animals does the writer mention in his/her diary
Ss: 7.
T: What are they
Ss: They are parrotfish, sea-slug, sea-star, turtle, eel, clam and reef shark.
T: Right. By the way, there is another kind of creature, not fish, which are described much, especially their shapes. What are they
Ss: Corals!
T: Yes. You’ve done very well. Let’s read the text carefully to enjoy the beautiful view under the sea and have a look at these lovely animals. While you are reading, try to answer the questions on the screen and find out the main idea of each paragraph. Five or six minutes later, I’ll check your work by asking someone to answer these questions and tell the class the main idea of each paragraph. Are you clear

When the Ss have finished their reading, check their work in the ask-and-answer way. When they sum up the main ideas, give them necessary guide and then show the suggested ideas on the screen.
Take the first one for example:
T: Now you have finished your reading, haven’t you
Ss: Yes!
T: In Para 1, what did the writer do in the morning on 19th January
S: He went snorkeling.
...
Suggested answers and main ideas:
Para 1 Answers: 1. He went snorkeling.
2. He thought every cell in his body woke up and it was like discovering a whole new dimension of life.
Main idea: Going snorkeling on the reef, the writer spent a day of pure magic and it was the most fantastic thing he has ever done.
Para 2 Answers: 1. All the vivid colours surrounding him.
2. Yes. Because they were shaped strangely like fans, plates, brains, lace and so on.
Main idea: He became aware of fantastic views under the sea, such as the wonderful colours, the strange- shaped corals, and all kinds of elegant fish.
Para 3 Answers: 1. No, he didn’t. The fish didn’t seem to mind him swimming among them.
2. He saw many beautiful fish such as anemonefish, parrotfish, angelfish, and so on.
Main idea: He saw a variety of beautiful fish and sea life under the sea.
Para 4 Answers: 1. Yes, there were. He didn’t want to get too close to the eel, the giant clam. And the grey reef sharks made him scared to death.
2. No, they don’t. They are not dangerous.
Main idea: The description of some ugly and maybe dangerous creatures.
Para 5 Answer: Because he swam over the edge of the reef and hung there looking down into depths of the ocean.
Main idea: He felt very exposed in such deep clear water.
Para 6 Main idea: Sigh with emotion: What a tiny spot I was in this enormous world!
T: Very wonderful job you’ve done! Now do you have any questions about the words and expressions in the passage
Deal with some language points.
Language points:
1. be/become aware of: get to know
e.g. The mangers of the company have been aware of their weakness.
I was not aware of the fire.
Add: There is another pattern about “be aware”: be aware + clause
e.g. We were quite aware that the competition was very fierce.
Are you aware how they would respond to our terms
2. reflect
(1) vt. throw (light) back:
e.g. A mirror reflects a picture of you when you look in it.
(2) vt. express (+ clause)
e.g. Does what you said reflect how you really think
(3) vi. think carefully (+on)
e.g. He reflected on my questions before answering.
Then deal with Exx 1-4 on Page 24.
Step Ⅲ Reading (2)
READING TASK P66
T: Let’s come to the story about the sea goddess on Page 67. Look at the two pictures before you read the story. Look at Picture 1, which part of the world do you think this man is from
Ss: Maybe he is from the North Pole.
T: Why do you think so
S: Because we can see some icebergs.
S: And he is paddling a canoe and wearing thick clothes.
T: Then, what do you think his clothes are made of
S: If he does live in the area of the North Pole, I guess his clothes are made of animal furs.
T: That makes sense. Look at Picture 2. Have you seen pictures like this before
Ss: Yes.
T: Where did you see them
Ss: In the picture books of fairy tale. / On TV programs.
T: Do you know any story that involves a creature like her What is the story
Ss: The fairy tale written by Andersen, “The Little Mermaid”.
T: Very good! Now let’s glance through the story quickly and match the paragraph with the correct sentence in Ex 2 on Page 68.
After the Ss have finished it, check the answers.
T: In fact, each sentence is the main idea of its corresponding paragraph. Have you find that
Then deal with Ex 3. Let the Ss read the story again and answer the questions. At last, check the answers.
Suggested answers:
1. Because her father was getting old and he could not look after her daughter any more.
2. He was afraid that Sedna wouldn’t agree to marry him if she knew he was not a man but a sea bird.
3. Because the bird man caused a sea storm with anger and Sedna’s father was so frightened that he grabbed Sedna and threw her into the sea.
4. Maybe Sedna’s father was once seriously hurt by the bird man. So he was frightened of the bird man.
5. Yes. Because when she is angry, she keeps all the animals in the sea away from the hunters, who depend on the sea for their survival. And I think that is a magic power the nature offers to her for her beauty, clearness and kindness.
If time allows, ask the Ss to talk about the story concerning its moral education.
T: What do you feel after you read the story What do you think of Sedna and her father What do you think the story is trying to convey Or what have you learned from this story Now think about these questions.
Possible idea 1:
I think it is a miserable story. Firstly, it is wrong for Sedna’s father to force his daughter to marry a man. Even worse, when he realized he was wrong and tried to help his daughter to escape, he actually gave up facing the threatening and terrifying from the bird man. And the worst thing is that he himself threw his daughter into the sea and that killed his own daughter. I hate the father. He is a coward.
Possible idea 2:
I don’t think it is a beautiful legend. Sedna was a beautiful and kind girl. She refused all the men who wished to marry her because she loved her father, but her father didn’t know that. On the contrary, he forced his daughter to marry a man she didn’t love. What was worse, he gave in to the bird man who frightened them with violence and threw his daughter into the sea, even cut off his daughter’s fingers. What a father! He is so cruel! I think the bad father would be punished by God.
