Step 2: Pre-reading (Vocabulary) (5 mins)
1. Show the new vocabulary on the PPT.
2. Drill pronunciation (choral and individual).
3. Use simple definitions and examples (e.g., "An abacus is a tool for calculating numbers." / "Tofu is a source of protein." / "Porcelain is also called china.")
Step 3: While-reading (12 mins)
1. First Reading (Answer Questions): Students read the passage quickly and answer:
A: Who discovered tea according to the passage?
B: There is another name for porcelain. What is it? (China)
C: How many inventions of ancient China are mentioned in this passage? (Nine – including the four great ones, plus abacus, tofu, tea, porcelain, silk)
2. Second Reading (Fill in the blanks): Students read again and complete the gap-fill exercise (abacus, tofu, tea, porcelain, silk).
3. Check answers together.
Step 4: Language Points (10 mins)
Use the PPT to explain key language points:
- be rich in = contain a lot of something (e.g., Tofu is rich in minerals.)
- It is said that... = People say that... (introduce a fact)
- be traced back to = originated from (e.g., Porcelain can be traced back to the Han Dynasty.)
- be made from vs. be made of (from: material changes; of: material visible)
- be named after = given the name of someone/something (e.g., The Silk Road was named after silk.)
- Although... (contrast; cannot use but together)
Step 5: Group Discussion (8 mins)
1. Students work in groups of 4. Complete the table in the PPT: "There are many great inventions and innovations around the globe. Complete the table and share your ideas with your group."
2. Each group discusses and writes down 2–3 other inventions (e.g., from other countries or modern times).
3. Invite 2–3 groups to share one invention with the class.
Step 6: Summary & Homework
1. Summary: Review the five ancient Chinese inventions from the lesson (abacus, tofu, tea, porcelain, silk). Ask: "Why are these inventions important? What do they tell us about ancient China?"
2. Homework:
- Basic: Write 5 sentences about one ancient Chinese invention (what it is, who invented/discovered it, why it is important).
- Advanced: Research one invention from another country (e.g., the printing press from Germany, the telephone from the US). Write a short paragraph (60–80 words) introducing it.
