Teaching Procedures (Total Duration: 45 Minutes) Step 1 Pre - reading (8 Minutes) Show the “Gulliver in Lilliput” title and ask: “What do you know about Gulliver’s Travels? What strange things might happen in a land of tiny people?” Introduce the task: “Today, we’ll explore Gulliver’s adventure in Lilliput, learn story - related words, and discuss the magic of classic tales!” Step 2 While - reading (18 Minutes) Activity 1: Vocabulary Matching (8 Minutes) Students match words to meanings (Activity B1), using context clues (e.g., “tired out” from “swam as far as I could”). Walk around to assist, explaining how the story context defines words (e.g., “tie”—ropes binding Gulliver). Activity 2: Cause - Effect Extraction (7 Minutes) Students match events to causes (Activity B2), identifying why Gulliver slept, couldn’t move, etc. Discuss answers, emphasizing text evidence (e.g., “slept because tired from swimming”). Activity 3: Vocabulary Check (3 Minutes) Quick review of key words (e.g., “tiny”—small as a finger; “manage”—succeed in breaking ropes). Step 3 Post - reading (15 Minutes) Activity 1: Comprehension Questions—Activity B3/B4 (10 Minutes) Students answer questions about Gulliver’s story (Activity B3/B4), confirming details like ship crash, waking up, tiny man size. Highlight story strangeness: “tiny people,” “tied to ground”—how these create a fantasy world. Activity 2: Critical Reflection (5 Minutes) Use discussion questions: “What’s the strangest part of Lilliput? How would you feel in Gulliver’s situation?” Groups share ideas, debating the story’s imagination and personal reactions. Step 4 Summary & Homework (4 Minutes) Summary (2 Minutes): Recap Gulliver’s adventure, key vocabulary, and the story’s strangeness. Homework (2 Minutes): Writing: Describe the strangest part of Lilliput, using 3 new vocabulary words. Reflection: List one way Gulliver’s experience is similar/different to a personal “strange” moment. IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness Check Activity B1/B2 answers for accurate vocabulary and cause - effect extraction. Evaluate Activity B3/B4 for text - based comprehension. Observe post - reading discussions for critical thinking about the story. V. Design Purpose Pre - reading: Activate knowledge of classic tales, building relevance to Gulliver’s adventure. While - reading: Practice vocabulary and detail extraction, core skills for literary texts. Post - reading: Apply knowledge in questions and reflection, linking to imagination and empathy. VI. Blackboard Design Unit 4 Reading—Gulliver in Lilliput Key Vocabulary: against, tired out, tie, tiny, continue, manage Plot Events & Causes: - Slept → tired from swimming - Couldn’t move → tied to ground - Tiny men fell → shouted at them Story Strangeness: Tiny people, Gulliver tied, strange land Homework: Write about strangeness! VII. Teaching Reflection Strengths: Classic story engages students, activities balance skills and literary analysis. Weaknesses: Some students may struggle to grasp the story’s imaginative context. Improvements: Add a “strange land drawing” activity: Draw Lilliput based on the text, then describe it. This visualizes the story and boosts creativity. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
