Period Two:
(探究活动) (Some suggested methods in teaching
the following reading.
1. Digital information. Before class
ask Ss to surf on the internet for information
about Australia. Ss can be divided into
different groups according to different
aspects of the country, e.g. natural
features --location, climate, population,
resources and so on, big cities and
economics, history and culture, politics
etc. In class Ss exchange their information
and ask and answer questions. After
class they can write an article about
what they are most interested in.
2. Digital learning. Before class the
teacher is supposed to get as much information
as possible and put it into the computer
for Ss to share later. During the class
Ss are supposed to write a paper about
any aspect about Australia on the computer
by referring to any information they
can get from the computer or books.
They can also ask each other or the
teacher questions and answer them by
the net. They can also work in pairs
or groups if they like. In class the
teacher is to help Ss with any problems
both in knowledge and in the use of
computer. Of course the teacher can
give different tasks for different Ss
to do in class in order that the papers
of the class will be sure to cover all
the things about Australia.
3. Transferring and developing learned
knowledge. Ss have learned some expressions
to describe a country, for example,
Canada, so they are able to summary
the feathers of Australia before class.
During the class some of the Ss are
supposed to introduce Australia to others
and after that they are asked to talk
about China following the way of writing
about Australia either in groups or
in pairs. The more things about China
they can add, the better comment they
will get. After class the Ss have to
hand in their papers either in groups
or in pairs. That means that one students
only needs to write one or some parts
of China and the whole group or pair
makes a complete paper. )
