Step 2 Free talk
Get the students to talk about the topics:
What method do you usually use when you do reading comprehension?
Step 3 Presentation
1. Tell the students:
When we do a reading comprehension, we can skim the article and find out the main idea of the article first. Then we usually scan the article to look for the key information that will answer the questions.
2. Introduce four different methods of writing.
(1) Scanning means moving our eyes quickly over the text to look for specific information such as facts and numbers. We do not need to read every word. Instead, we look for the key information that will answer our questions.
(2) Scanning is often used when we read:
● the "What's on TV" part in the newspaper
● a bus / train timetable
● a guidebook
3. Do the exercise on Page 31.
Millie is reading an English magazine article to find out why many boys and girls dress in different colours. Scan the article to help Millie find the answers.
Keys: 1. Good weather.
2. Because these were the colours of healthy food, such as strawberries and apples.
3. The power to drive evil spirits away.
4. They came from pink roses.
Step 4 Practice
Scan the article to find the answers to the questions.
1. When the robber came out of prison, what did detectives do?
2. What did Johnny buy?
3. Could detectives find out what Johnny would do?
4. Could the inspector find the money? Can you guess?
Detective Work
A bank robber stole a lot of money. He was caught and sent to prison, but the money was never found. When he came out of prison, they watched him to see what he would do. Here is the detective, reporting to the inspector.
"Yes, sir, I found Johnny . I followed him all around the town, but frankly, I couldn't make anything out of what he bought. Here's the list, shirt, heavy crowbar, box of chocolates, shovel, heavy hammer, bunch of flowers .The inspector said, "Good. That helps me a lot. Do you remember how we watched him helping his neighbor, old Mrs. Judson to cover her backyard with cement?
Step 5 Language points
1. …baby boys are dressed in blue…
此处dress为动词，意为：装扮，打扮，给……穿。dress还可用做名词，意为：连衣裙，套裙。例如：
You look nice in this red dress. 你穿这件红色连衣裙很好看。
2. The colour blue was once believed to have the power to drive evil spirits away.
be believed to do sth.表示“据相信做……”。如果后面的动作已经发生，则用完成时表示，也就是to have done形式。类似的用法还有：be considered to do sth和be said to do。
Step 6 Homework
