preparation for reading ------ do fast reading ------ do careful reading ------ listening and reading ------ retelling ------ explain the language points ------ further discussion ------ homework
Step 1   preparation for reading   
(This step wants to arouse the students’ interest )
 I’ll use the computer and screen , and show some pictures of the places of interest of England and try to say something about them .
 Such as : Big Ben   the Tower of London    Cambridge University and Oxford University   London Bridge  Hyde Park ---
 

Step 2    Do fast reading

 Give the students several minutes to do fast reading and then get them to tell whether the following sentences are ture or false and correct them.

1. The British Isles is made up of 3 parts .
2. the Brithish Isles lies off the west coast of Europe .
3. The English Channel is only 20 miles wide .
4. The British Isles are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east .
5. There is much rain in the British Isles .
6. Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.
7. There are 6 languages that are considered to be native to the British Isles .

Step 3  Do careful reading

This step can train their reading ability .
Give the students some time to do careful reading , and then find out the main idea of each paragraph . and give some detailed information .

1. Get the students to find out the main idea of each paragraph.
2. Read the second paragraph once again . And then use the courseware a map of Britain to do some explanations . esp the position of England , Scotland , Wales , Ireland and their capital cities . After that , ask the students to write the numbers of the following place names in the correct places on the map . At last , I’ll ask one student to come to the front and point them out on the screen .

“ North Sea , Atlantic Ocean , English Channel , Scotland , Wales    England , Northern Ireland , Ireland , Isle of Man , Irish sea , London   Dublin”  
3. Use question – and – answer activities to let the students understand the detailed information . Answer the following questions . ( This time the students should finish them very quickly )
