AGood Read: Gulliver’s Lilliput Journey 1 目录 目标与导入 文本与结构速览 语言与策略深挖 思辨与产出 总结与作业 2 01 目标与导入 3 Unit 4 Extensive Reading Lesson Goals 01 Skill Targets By the end of today you will: 1) spot the text-type and three-part structure of an adventure story; 2) skim for gist in 30 s and scan for tiny details; 3) unpack long sentences and new words; 4) predict what happens next and write a 60-word continuation. 02 Success Criteria You can retell the plot in correct order, explain at least four new phrases, use “by the time” and past continuous accurately, and produce a mini-ending which your partner rates 4/4 on our checklist. 4 Lead-in: Why Travel Fiction? 01 Proverb Poll “Reading ten thousand books is like travelling ten thousand miles.” Do you agree? Turn to your neighbour and give one reason in English. 02 Quick Show of Hands Raise your hand if you have ever read Gulliver’s Travels—in Chinese or English. Keep your hand up if you finished it. Snapshot: we’ll revisit these hands after the lesson. 03 Link to Today We’re entering the most famous scene: one man, one beach, and a crowd of people only 15 cm tall. Let’s see why this still matters 300 years later. 5 02 文本与结构速览 6 Text Source & Genre Map Fast Facts Title: Gulliver in Lilliput. Author: Irish satirist Jonathan Swift, 1726. Genre: satirical novel turned adventure fiction for young readers. Text type: narrative with clear exposition–rising action–climax. Our excerpt: ll. 1-20, modernised vocabulary but original flavour. 7 Skimming Task: Gist in 30s Step 1 Silently read paragraph 1 (lines 1-4) and the final paragraph (lines 16-20) only. No dictionaries, no notes—just eyes and brain. Step 2 Pick the best one-sentence summary: A) A shipwreck survivor meets tiny people. B) A soldier fights a huge army. C) A doctor travels in time. Key: A. Why This Works First and last paragraphs often contain the situation and the cliff-hanger. Skimming them first builds a mental map before you dive into details. Quick Self-Check Turn to your partner and say: “The gist is …” Use your own words; 10 seconds each. 8 Three-Part Structure Board Part 1 Exposition Lines 1-4: Shipwreck, exhausted Gulliver swims ashore, falls asleep—setting and character introduced. Part 2 Rising Action Lines 5-15: Tiny Lilliputians tie him down; first contact, shock on both sides—conflict builds. 9 Sequencing: Order the Events 01 Drag & Drop a. Gulliver crashes on the beach. b. Tiny men tie him to the ground. c. He breaks one hand free. d. A whole army runs towards him. Correct order: a-b-c-d. 02 Time Markers Look for “soon”, “by the time”, “suddenly” to glue events together; they’re signposts in every adventure. 03 Check With Text Open your book and point to the line that proves each event. 30-second race—first table to finish wins a sticker. 10 03 语言与策略深挖 11 Target Vocabulary in Context Must-Know Phrases 1. be tired out = exhausted: “I was tired out and slept heavily.” 2. manage to do = succeed: “He managed to climb the cliff.” 3. break free = escape: “Gulliver breaks free from the ropes.” 4. huge army = large force: “A huge army marched towards him.” 5. continue doing ≠ stop: “They continued shouting orders.” 12 Sentence Breakdown: By the time Model Sentence “By the time I finally felt the land under my feet, I was tired out.” Structure Rule By the time + past perfect event, main clause simple past. Chinese: 当我终于……时,我已经…… Why It Matters It shows one action is completed before another key moment—perfect for adventure timing. Your Turn Complete: “By the time the bell rang, _.” Share your sentence with the class. 13 Contextual Guessing Strategy Example Line Line 9: “He was just the same size as my little finger!” No dictionary needed—comparison tells you ‘tiny’. Strategy Tip When you see “same as”, “like”, or “than”, use comparison to infer meaning; it’s faster and keeps the story flow alive. 14 Reading Strategies Summary Four-Step Path 1) Read first & last paragraph for gist. 2) Hunt time markers to order events. 3) Use comparison to guess new words. 4) Visualise the scene—draw it in your mind or margin. Memory Boost Students who visualise remember 30 % more detail; close your eyes for five seconds after each page. Transfer Goal Try these four steps on any adventure story in our library corner next week. 15 04 思辨与产出 16 Group Picture Talk & Predict Pair Work Study File 3 & 4: describe what you see in English for one minute, then answer: “What will happen next?” Use starters: I guess… / Perhaps… / It looks as if… You must include at least one new phrase from today. 17 Critical Thinking Questions 01 Q1 Motive Why did the Lilliputians tie Gulliver up first instead of talking? Think safety, culture, fear—give two reasons. 02 Q2 Trust If you were Gulliver, would you trust them? Support with text evidence and your own feeling. 03 Q3 Power Who has more power at this moment—giant or tiny army? Can power shift? Debate for 60 seconds. 04 Share Out Each group gives one bold claim; class votes most convincing idea. 18 Grammar Focus: Past Continuous Function Past continuous paints a moving picture: “I was running as fast as I could.” It stretches the action and adds tension. Quick Practice Rewrite: “He ran along the beach.” “He was running along the beach, waves crashing behind him.” Add one extra detail. 19 Practice: Choose the Best Answer 01 Item 1 Gulliver couldn’t move because _. A) he was too tired B) he was tied to the ground C) he was afraid Key: B (text line 7). 02 Item 2 The tiny men shouted when Gulliver _. A) broke free B) fell asleep C) swam to land Key: A (line 18). 03 Click to Reveal Use your clicker; instant feedback shows who needs more scanning practice. 20 Task 3: 60-word Continuation Write Now Use the word box: huge army, continue, stomach, break free.
