Blackboard Design Unit 3 Fascinating Parks — Sarek National Park P1 A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps (experience) P2 A Land of Mountains and Ice (history) P3 Man at Peace with Nature (Sami traditions) P4 A Land of Adventure (experience) Five senses: sight · touch · smell · taste · hearing. Main idea: the beauty of Sarek through the writer's own experiences. Teaching Reflection The lead-in worked quite well. Students were happy to talk about parks they had actually visited, and the quote discussion warmed them up before reading. After one quick skim, most of them could match the paragraphs with the subheadings. The senses activity made the class slow down and notice details in the text, but a few students still mixed up the feeling words. The retelling step was harder than expected; quite a few needed the mind map ready on the board before they could speak. Next time I will show a filled-in mind map first, and leave a few more minutes for pair retelling. Reference Answers Part Ⅰ　Lead-in Activity 1: Beautiful scenery, wild plants and animals, and so on. Activity 2: Open answer. Activity 3: A national park is not a recreation ground but a place where nature is left protected. Visitors should not do anything that harms or changes its natural state.

Activity 2: Paragraph 1 — A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps; Paragraph 2 — A Land of Mountains and Ice; Paragraph 3 — Man at Peace with Nature; Paragraph 4 — A Land of Adventure. Activity 3: Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 4 describe the writer's own experience; Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 introduce the park's history and traditions. Part Ⅲ　Read for details Activity 1: (1) The sun shines for twenty-four hours a day in summer.
