Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes) Step 1 Pre - reading (5 Minutes) Show the title “Protecting pandas” and ask: “Why are pandas popular?

Walk around to assist, emphasizing topic sentences (e.g., “Her birth brought much happiness...” for Para.1). Activity 2: Growth Process Sequencing (8 Minutes) Students sequence Xiwang’s growth events (Activity B), using clues like “when she was born,” “at six months old”. Discuss answers, highlighting the care pandas need at different life stages. Activity 3: Vocabulary Check (3 Minutes) Quick review of key words (e.g., “nature reserve”—protected area; “increase”—grow in number).
