Lesson Plan 2: Reading – Gulliver in Lilliput
Textbook Reference: Unit 4, Pages 50-51 (Reading Part A, B, C, D)
I. Teaching Objectives
Language Ability: Skim and scan the adapted excerpt to grasp the plot; understand key phrases (tired out, break free, huge army); retell the story using a timeline.
Cultural Awareness: Appreciate the classic Gulliver’s Travels as a satire; understand the universal theme of facing the unknown.
Thinking Quality: Infer Gulliver’s emotions from his actions; evaluate the symbolism of the "tiny men"; connect the story to real-life challenges.
Learning Ability: Use graphic organizers (story mountain) to structure narrative information.
II. Key & Difficult Points
Key: Understanding the plot sequence; analyzing character feelings.
Difficult: Grasping the satirical nature of the text (implicit); reflecting on "impossible challenges" in real life.
III. Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Pre-reading
Activity: Show the illustration of Gulliver tied down by tiny men.
Q1: "Look at the picture. Who is bigger? Who seems more powerful? Why?"
Q2: "The title is 'Gulliver in Lilliput'. What do you predict happened before this scene?"
Step 2: While-reading
1 Skimming: Match paragraphs to the Story Mountain (Beginning, Build-up, Climax, Resolution, Ending).
2 Beginning: Ship crashed, swam to beach, fell asleep.
3 Build-up: Woke up tied, felt something on leg.
4 Climax: Saw tiny men, shouted, they fell but got up.
5 Resolution: Broke one hand free, saw huge army.
6 Ending: Must run away, but how?
Scanning (Part B): Answer specific questions.
Q3: "How big was the small man? (Size of a little finger). How does this detail make Gulliver feel?" (Shock, confusion).
Q4: "Why did the small men shout when he lifted his hand?" (Fear/Defense).
Step 3: Deep Dive (Emotion & Critical Thinking)
Activity: Emotional Mapping.
Find sentences showing Gulliver's changing feelings.
Tired out -> Surprised/Shocked -> Afraid -> Desperate.
Q5: "Gulliver is giant compared to them, yet he is afraid. Why? Is strength only about size?"
Step 4: Post-reading
Task (Part C): Complete Millie’s continuation story using the word box (continue, fall over, tie, huge army, etc.).
Discussion (Part D):
Q6: "Have you ever faced a challenge that seemed impossible (like Gulliver)? How did you handle it?"
Q7: "If you were one of the tiny men, what would you do with the giant? Fight or be friend?"
IV. Homework
Retell the story to a family member using the timeline.
Write a diary entry from the perspective of one of the tiny men seeing Gulliver for the first time (50 words).
