Step 4: Ss read for details and reveal the mysteries of the land.
Read paragraph 2 and answer the questions.
① How is Canada diverse in its geography?
② How does the author describe these landscapes? What are they?
③ How does the author makes them impressive to the readers?
Ss work in groups and figure out the rhetorical devices such as inversion, personification
and descriptive adjectives help form a vivid picture in the readers’ minds. And the teacher
leads the Ss to read these sentences aloud and appreciate the beauty they bring out.
Read paragraph 3 and draw a timeline to reflect the diversity of its residents and then share and revise it in groups.
