　　Step 6 Project (6 minutes)

　　The six tasks are designed to follow the gradualism principle. Each task is harder than the former one.

　　Step 1 Brain storming

　　This task aims to help the students remember the new words.

　　First, I will guide the students to read the new words according to the pronunciation rules.

　　Second, I will ask the students to make up four short stories with the new words. And the main structure of the story will be given to make the task easy and interesting. The students just need to fill in the blanks with the right words to complete the story.

　　The interesting stories will help the students to remember the new words quickly. And also this task can begin this lesson with exciting atmosphere.

　　Step 2 Digest the Text

　　Here I adopt four steps for the students to digest the text.

　　1. Listening (3 minutes)

　　The students are supposed to listen to the tape and get some main ideas about the text. Then I will ask the students to answer some simple yes-or-no questions to check their listening comprehension.

　　2. Skipping and Scanning (5~6 minutes)

　　After listening, students begin to read the text for the first time.

　　First, they should underline the new expressions while reading.

　　Second, they should number the pictures in the right order. They should finish this part by skipping and scanning.

　　Third, I will explain the new expressions and ask the students to fill in the blanks with them. This exercise will make the new points more impressive.

　　At last, some translation should be done here for the students to practice more.
