Step Ⅰ Part 1
This activity allows students to activate their background knowledge before attempting the reading.
Call the students’ attention to the title of the article.
Tell me the title of the article, please.
Yes, it’s No problem. What do you think the article is about based on the title?
Ask one or two to tell what they think of based on the title.
Then ask the students to look at the picture on this page. Say, Look at the picture, please. What can you see in it?
What is happening?
Ask one student to answer the questions.
He or she my say:
I can see two women quarrelling in the picture.
Then ask the whole class. Which student in your class do you think has the least problems? What does he or she do differently?
Choose one student to tell his own answer. He or she may say like this:
I think Li Hua has the least problems in our class. She seldom complains about the homework and she has never quarreled with any other student in our class.
Then tell the students to discuss the questions with their partners.
Tell them to give their own answers and not to read the article.
As they discuss, walk around the room looking at their progress. Once most students are finished, ask several pairs to report their results to the class. Let the whole class compare their answers.
Step Ⅱ Part 2
This activity encourages students to read quickly for the main idea and then support the main idea with one detail. Ask one student to read the instructions to the class. Make sure that all the children know what to do.
Call the students’ attention to the chart.
Have the students read the four headings together. Then tell them to see the example answer in the column of Explanation.
Say, Now please read the article quickly and note to catch the main idea of each part. Fill in the forms with complete sentences like the example given.
Ask the students to complete the task individually. More around the classroom while they are reading and writing, checking their progress and trying to find out what are difficult for them. After they all finish filling in the blanks, have some students to report their answers to the class.
The answers can vary, but they have to express the main idea with correct complete sentences.
Let the other students decide whether their answers are right or wrong and help correct the mistakes they may make.
Offer some help in combining sentences to the children.
Then ask the children to exchange their writing with their partners.
Help check the answers carefully. Point out any mistakes and help correct them.
