Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes) Step 1 Pre - reading (8 Minutes) Show the online tour title “Around the World in Eight Hours” and ask: “What do you think an online tour is? How can it let you ‘travel’ the world?” Introduce the task: “Today, we’ll explore a virtual tour of New York, learn travel - related words, and discuss the fun of online adventures!” Step 2 While - reading (18 Minutes) Activity 1: Vocabulary Matching (8 Minutes) Students match words to meanings (Activity B1), using context clues (e.g., “trade” from “trade centre”). Walk around to assist, explaining how the tour context defines words (e.g., “international”—cross - country). Activity 2: Landmark Extraction (7 Minutes) Students identify New York landmarks (Activity B2), listing Wall Street, Times Square, Central Park, Broadway. Discuss answers, emphasizing text evidence (e.g., “Central Park—lakes, hills, lawn”). Activity 3: Vocabulary Check (3 Minutes) Quick review of key words (e.g., “musical”—show with songs; “century”—100 years). Step 3 Post - reading (15 Minutes) Activity 1: Comprehension Questions—Activity B3/B4 (10 Minutes) Students answer questions about the website (Activity B3/B4), confirming details like tour name, cities covered, and landmark facts. Highlight tour features: “click to visit cities,” “virtual exploration”—how these simulate travel. Activity 2: Critical Reflection (5 Minutes) Use discussion questions: “Do you like online tours? What’s good/bad about them compared to real travel?” Groups share ideas, debating accessibility (online) vs. sensory experience (real). Step 4 Summary & Homework (4 Minutes) Summary (2 Minutes): Recap the online tour’s structure, New York landmarks, and key vocabulary.

Blackboard Design Unit 3 Reading—Online Tour of New York Key Landmarks: Wall Street → Times Square → Central Park → Broadway Vocabulary: trade, international, gather, huge, several, relax, century, musical Tour Features: Click “Tour” icon → visit cities in 8 hours → virtual exploration Homework: Write about a landmark! VII. Teaching Reflection Strengths: Online tour theme engages students, activities balance skills and digital curiosity.

This visualizes differences and sparks debate. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
