·Shallow reading
T asks Ss to read the passage for the first time and try to find the answers to the questions they have raised. If some particular questions are too difficult for them to figure out, T can guide them to find the answers.
Answers:
1. In the early 1900s.
2. At the character’s house in San Francisco.
3. Mama
4. Because Nels wanted to go to high school.
5. Because the“Bank Account” is the clue in this story, and the story developed around the “Bank Account”.
6. The story developed in chronological order, and it can be divided into two parts. (Twenty years before &Twenty years after)
T asks the students to read the story fast for the second time and finish the table in A.
通过浅层阅读学生能大致的解决他们所提出的问题。在较难问题解决不了时,老师可以安慰学生,因为这是正常的现象,并且引导学生解决难题。同时通过第二次的快速阅读,同学们更能对文章的要素和脉络有更加深刻的理解,帮助他们为深层阅读奠基。

·Appreciating the story
1) Exploring
“This article uses a lot of foreshadowing, can you find them?”
T needs to give an example to students for understanding.
(Possible answer: Mama would look up and smile,L9; “We do not want to go the bank”,L17)
“We know Mom's bank account is fake, so what does it symbolize in this article?”
(Maybe T should explain what does foreshadowing and symbolize mean.)
(Possible answer: A symbol of a mother's love for her children and her protection of the safety of her young children.)
2) Appreciation of language
Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number. (line 20)
T: What can you learn from the smile?
(Mama felt happy that the children were considerate and they found a way to solve the problem.)
Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. (line 21)
T: Pay attention to the description of Papa’s reaction and appreciate it.
(Papa worked hard to support the family and he was under great pressure. Now there was not enough money for Nels to go to school, so he was thinking about what he could do. Maybe smoking was a way for him to relieve pressure and a long-time hobby, and now he was struggling to give it up to save more money. After careful thought, he decided to give up smoking for the good of his family.)
Summary: When you are writing, you can add some verbs appropriately to add details, which will make your composition more vivid.

Appendix
Mom Knows Best
When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.
When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.
When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.
When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up.
When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me,
But I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”
When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreams,
But I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”
When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”
But I talked back again — “I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”
Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times
I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream
And had scary dreams after watching that film
I was late for school from staying out past ten
I regret talking back, not listening to Mom
Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!
