III. Detailed 45-Minute Teaching Procedures
Step 1 Warming-up & Lead-in (7 mins)

Students work in groups of four to discuss the question:What kinds of parks have you visited before? What characteristics do they have?Reference Answer: Students may mention city parks with lakes and green plants, marine parks with sea animals, cartoon-themed amusement parks, or remote wild parks covered with mountains and forests.
Activity 2 Interpret the Core Quote

Its primary mission is to fully protect the original natural environment. All visitors are forbidden to damage or alter the park’s wild natural state.

Activity 2 Summarize the Main Idea of the Whole Text
Invite volunteers to share their summaries, then unify the standard answer:This travel journal records the writer’s hiking trip in Sarek National Park. It depicts the breathtaking wild scenery through multi-sensory descriptions, introduces the park’s glacial history and Sami indigenous traditions, and conveys the core theme that humans should live in peaceful harmony with original nature.
Step 3 Scanning: Dig Out Detailed Information (13 mins)
Activity 1 Answer Factual Comprehension Questions
Students scan the text carefully and answer the three factual questions:
1.How long does sunlight last per day in Sarek’s summer?Answer: 24 hours a day, known as the midnight sun above the Arctic Circle.
2.What measures did the Swedish government take to keep Sarek in its natural state?Answer: Sarek was designated a national park in 1909. All new construction and industrial development are banned within park boundaries; only the native Sami people are allowed to live and raise reindeer there.
3.How has the Sami people’s life changed? Why do very few Sami choose to settle in the Sarek valleys all year round?Answer: Most Sami now live modern lives in nearby villages with fixed houses. The living conditions inside the park are extremely harsh: frigid weather, insufficient supplies and inconvenient transportation. Only a small number of Sami return to the valleys every spring to carry on their traditional reindeer-raising customs.
Activity 2 Analyze Multi-sensory Descriptions
Students pick out sensory sentences from the passage, fill in the table and analyze the writer’s inner emotions:

Activity 3 Draw a Complete Mind Map
Students independently finish a three-part mind map covering the following core content:
1.Multi-sensory descriptions of Sarek’s natural scenery
2.The writer’s complete hiking experience (location, waking up, daily hiking routine, scenery observation, inner feelings)
3.Sarek’s geological history and Sami traditional culture
Reference Key Information for Mind Map

Location: remote far north of Sweden, above the Arctic Circle
Morning routine: woken by wind outside the tent; walk to the mountain edge to overlook the valley
Hiking: carry a heavy backpack and set off after breakfast
Observation: overlook Rapa River, old Sami cottage and grazing reindeer
Inner feeling: blessed and delighted with the wild adventure
Step 4 Post-reading Group Critical Discussion (5 mins)
Students discuss the questions in groups and share ideas voluntarily:
1.Would you like to visit Sarek National Park? Why?
Yes: It features unique midnight sun, wild scenery and special Sami culture; hiking helps people escape city hustle and connect with original nature.
No: The living conditions are harsh. Heavy hiking bags tire people out, and wild animals may cause safety threats.
2.Is it worth designating Sarek as a national park?
Yes. National parks shelter rare landscapes, wildlife and indigenous culture, balancing economy and ecological protection.
3.What can we do to live in harmony with nature?
Cut pollution, protect wild creatures, reduce over-exploitation and follow park conservation rules.
Step 5 Consolidation Task: Full-text Summary Writing (11 mins)
1.Task Requirements
Write a concise summary of the travel journal within 80–100 words. The summary must include three essential parts: multi-sensory natural scenery, the writer’s hiking experience, the park’s history & Sami culture, and the core theme of human-nature harmony. Students finish writing individually, then exchange drafts with deskmates to revise grammar, logic and word count.
Standard Sample Summary (For Teacher Comment Reference)
This travel journal records the writer’s hiking adventure in Sarek National Park above the Arctic Circle. The author uses sight, sound, smell, taste and touch to describe the park’s stunning wild scenery and his tough yet joyful hiking experience. It also introduces Sarek’s glacial origin and Sami indigenous culture: the area became a national park in 1909 to maintain its natural state, while local Sami people still keep their traditional reindeer-raising customs. The whole text delivers the idea that humans should respect and coexist peacefully with untouched nature.
2.Evaluation Standards for Students’ Summaries
(1)Cover scenery, personal experience, park history and core theme without missing key information
(2)Use consistent tenses, correct word forms and smooth logical conjunctions
(3)Control the total word count between 80 and 100
