My teaching is intended to help the students fully understand the text, learn about all the hardships the expedition team suffered and appreciate the perseverance, fearlessness, optimism and teamwork spirit they have shown.

Step 5 Let's conclude
Actually in our life we will be faced with many difficulties, but if we keep on doing what we wanna do and stick with it, we will never be a failure. When we feel like hope is gone, look inside us and be strong. And we’ll finally see the truth that a hero lies in us. Perce and Shackleton are heroes in our mind. In fact everyone can be a hero as long as we never give up.
Step 6 Let’s write
Write an essay of 120 words to introduce Sir Ernest Shackleton with the topic “A man I admire most”.
