(In the wild, in gardens, fields or orchards.) What do bees make? (Honey, wax.) Why are bees useful? (They help fruit trees to bear fruit.) Where do you keep bees? (In a hive.) How do you collect honey? (You take out the honeycombs.) Why must you be careful with bees? (They sting.) Is there one type of bee, or are there many types? (Many.)
　　Put any useful notes and key words that arise out of this discussion on the Bb. Teach the new words hive, honeycomb as they are essential for understanding the text. Get Ss to talk about the pictures and describe what they can see.
Step 3　 Reading for general understanding
　　Read aloud the two comprehension questions.
　　Allow the Ss enough time to read the text and write down the answers. Put them in pairs to discuss their answers, then check the answers with the class.(1 They do different dances ,a circle dance and a wagging dance. 2 They are able to tell each other that food has been discovered and how far away the feeding place is.)
Step 4　 Comprehension
　　SB Page 56, Part2. Ask Ss if they can guess the meaning of wagging. Demonstrate this if necessary by mine. Then ask the Ss to do the task. tell them they have to mark the margin of paragraphs 3-4with the correct letters.
Step 5　 Questions
　　SB Page 56, Part 3. Go through the exercise and make sure the Ss know what to do. Let them read the whole passage carefully and answer the questions, working in pairs or small groups. Check the answers with the whole class.
Step 6　 Reading aloud
　　Speech Cassette Lesson 85. Play the tape of the passage for the Ss to listen and follow. Play the tape of part of the passage once more; this time the Ss listen and repeat. Pay attention to stress and intonation, and the sentence stress of longer sentences.
Step 7　 Workbook

　　Let the Ss work on Ex. 1 individually so that everybody makes an effort. When checking the answers with the whole class, get Ss to correct the wrong information.
　　For Ex. 2, go over the example sentences with the whole class. Explain the difference of interest (vt.) , interested (adj.) and interesting (adj.). Make sure what Ss should do. Then collect answers from the class. All the sentences should be put into Chinese. Ex. 3 practises the use of it for emphasizing a certain part of a sentence. Do this exercise with the whole class. Explanation has to be made.
Step 8　 Consolidation
　　Ask Ss what they have learnt about bees so far during this unit, especially anything that was new for them. Get them to tell each other in pairs first, and then get pairs to tell the rest of the class. Get them to tell each other of any personal experiences.

　　2　Ask a few quick questions round the class to see how much the students remember about the text in the previous lesson. Do all bees live in groups? (No.) Do all bees live in beehives? (No.) Where do other types of bee live? (In holes in the ground, in holes in the rocks or trees.) What was the name of the scientist who did research into bees? (Karl von Frisch.) Was Von Frisch a New Zealander? (No, he was Austrian.) What was special about the beehive he built for his research? (It had only one honeycomb and a glass wall.) How did he mark the bees? (With spots of colour.) What did the wagging dance mean? (It meant that food was far away.) What did the circle dance mean? (It meant that food was near.)
Step 2　 Reading for general understanding
　　SB Page 57, Part 1. Read the comprehension question aloud. Allow the Ss enough time to read the text and write down the answers. Put them in pairs to discuss their answers, then check the answers with the class. ( The farther away the feeding station, the slower the wagging dance; the direction of the wagging dance tells the direction of the feeding place.) Then get the Ss to do the task in SB Page 58, Part 2.
Step 3　 Reading
　　Wb Lesson 86, Ex. 1. Go through the exercise and make sure the Ss know what to do. Let them read the whole passage carefully and answer the questions, working in pairs or small groups. Check the answers with the whole class. This is a good time to deal with any language problems.

　　SB Page 58, Part 4. Get Ss to do this exercise individually, so that every S has to make an effort to re-read the text and extract the relevant information. If it is done in class, get Ss to check their notes afterwards in pairs. Alternatively, if you wish, you can set this exercise for homework. In that case, get Ss to check their notes in pairs at the beginning of the next lesson.
