(JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG)

Aims

To read about traveling

Procedures

I.Warming up

1.Warming up by discussing

Good morning, class. Do you like traveling? Why do you like traveling? And why not? Where have you ever been before? How did you get there? If you are given a chance to travel around the world, what kind of transportations will you use and why? Now look at the following pictures and discuss it in pairs.

2. Warming up by looking and speaking

Now boys and girls, what do you need to take with you if you are preparing for a bike trip along the Changjiang River? Look at the pictures and tell the whole class which object you think is the most useful and which one is the least useful. Give a reason why you think so.

3. Warming up by asking and answering

Now suppose you live in Qinghai. You plan to spend a holiday with a friend somewhere in Southeast Asia. You have been given a chance to choose three places to visit. Please find out the one-way fare to get there for different kinds of transportation. Perhaps you may not know the exact fare, but you can guess how much the fare is. Please have a short discussion with your partners and then decide where to go.

Ok, now I’d like you to ask your partner the following questions.

II. Pre-reading

1. Imaging and sharing

Do you like traveling along a river, a great river?  What role does a river play in people’s life? In other words, how do people who live along a river use it?

2. Talking and sharing

As we all know, there are a lot of rivers in the world and also there are many great rivers. Now look at the chart. In the left column are names of some great rivers. In the right column are locations where the rivers lie. Please match them.    

III. Reading

1. Reading aloud to the recording

Do you know what countries the Mekong River flows through? Now look at the map of the Mekong River and point out the countries it flows through. 

(China, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma Vietnam)

Ok, today we’re going to read a passage about JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG. Please listen and read aloud about the recording of the text JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence. I will play the tape twice and you shall read aloud twice, too.

2. Reading and underlining

Now please read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.

3.Reading aloud and understanding

Next we are going to read aloud the text and then answer some questions.

1) Who are Wang Kun and Wang Wei? (They are brother and sister, and both are college students.)

2) What was their dream? (Their dream was to take a great bike trip.)

3) Who are Dao Wei and Yu Hang? (They are Wang Kun’s cousins who are at a college in Kunming.)

4) Where is the source of the Mekong River and which sea does it enter?(The source of the river is in Qinghai Province and it enters the South China Sea.)

5) What can you see when you travel along the Mekong?(You can see glacier, rapids, hill, valleys, waterfalls and plains.)

6) Is it a difficult journey to cycle along the Mekong? Why? (Yes. The journey begins at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, where it is hard to breathe and very cold.)

4. Discussing

We have got the general meaning of the passage, and we know Wang Wei and Wang Kun have some similar and different attitudes about the trip. You may have a short discussion with your partners and then fill in the chart.

IV. Closing down

Closing down by answering questions                                                                                                           

What should you do before traveling? (Before traveling, we should make good preparations, that is, to make a plan, decide the place to visit and get enough information about the place. With full preparations we’ll have a good time during the trip.)

What will your family and your fiends say when you leave home to travel? (When we leave home, my family and my friends will say, “Have a good trip. /Have a good journey. /Have a good time.”)

Closing down by translating

In the last few minutes you are asked to translate some difficulty sentences in the passage.

Assignment

Revise the contents of the passage

Complete the passage on Page 56 in Workbook

Do exercise 2 on page 57 in you exercise books.

Period 2:A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language

(The Present Continuous Tense for future action)

Aims

To learn about the Present Continuous Tense

To discover and use some useful words and expressions

Procedures

I. Warming up

Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions

Hello everyone. After reading the passage, we have got to know the usage of the words and expressions, but we should do more practice. Now turn to page 20 to find the correct words and expressions from the passage to finish the sentences. You are given two minutes to finish them and discuss with your partners. Two minutes later, check in pairs and then check with the whole class.

II. Learning about language

1. Reading and finding 

Good, you have mastered these words and expressions. Let’s turn to page 17 and look at the questions inWarming up 4. Underline the verbs in the questions, and pay attention to the verb forms and do some explanations by yourselves.

2. Learning Grammar

We can see that the verbs are all used in the “-ing” form. They are “the present continuous tense”, but they express future actions or plans.The Present Continuous Tense may be used to denote an action that can be pre-planned or prearranged instead of the future indefinite in colloquial English. But please note that, not all verbs can be used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs ascome, go, leave, fly, walk, ride, drive, stay, meet, die, see, have, arrive etc. are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express future actions.

3.Doing exercises No. 2 and 3 on page 21

Now turn to page 21 and do exercise 2. In the dialogue a newspaper reporter is interviewing Wang Wei about her plans for the trip along the Mekong River. However, they are not sure about some of the verb tenses. Can you help them complete their conversation?

Let’s continue to do exercise 3. Do you have any plans for the future yourselves? If you have any, please use the Present Continuous Tense to express your future actions. Give as much information as you can.

III. Ready used materials for the present continuous tense for future actions or plans

II.Adiagram ofJOURNEY DOWN THE MEKON

III.Retelling the text in about 200 words.

1. Retell the story in the third person.

2. Refer to the information in the chart above.

One possible version

Wang Kun and his sister Wang Wei dreamed about taking a great bike trip ever since their middle school days. After graduated from college, they got a chance to do it. It was Wang Wei who first had the ideas to cycle along the Mekong River from its source. They both bought expensive mountain bikes. They also got their cousins Dao Wei and Yu Hang to go who were interested in cycling, too.

Wang Wei was a stubborn girl. Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that they should find the source of the river and began their journey there. When she heard the source of the Mekong River was in Qinghai, she wouldn’t change her mind. She was even excited when she knew that their journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5000 meters. She also thought that it would be an interesting experience.

Before the trip, they went to the library, where they found a large atlas with good maps. From the atlas, they learnt more information about the Mekong River.

Section 2: Background information on TRAVEL JOURNEY

I. How to plan your travel wisely

    Traveling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break—a week-long school vacation in the United States.

But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful tips.

Save:This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses(开支) to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.

Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought at short notice(短期内). Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security (安全) and savings.

Do homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.

Plan sensibly(合理的): Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.

Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others, you can share costs and experiences.

Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.

Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink about your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.

Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember to take along medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.

Use the Internet: The Net can help you to save money. There are some useful websites such as www.travelcity.com and www.economy travel. com .

By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy their travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.
