Instead, we only need to pay attention to the first paragraph. Teacher: In this way, we can use the key words to get the general idea of the whole text easily. Let’s fill in the blanks together. The text told us the story of Captain Bligh’s amazing journey across the Pacific Ocean in an open boat in 1789 with his followers after bounty was taken over. The voyage lasted over 40 days and sailed 4000 miles only by a compass and a quadrant and it was one of the greatest examples of survival at sea. Analysis about the answers: Actually the words filled in the blanks are exactly the six elements of the journey. Task 3. Let the students find the key word of each paragraph Teacher: How about the key words of each paragraph? Key: Para 1: dilemma

Para 2: routine

Para 3&Para 4: starvation

Para 5: survival Analysis about the answers: Students should pay attention to the first sentence and the last sentence of each paragraph.

Step 3. Careful-Reading (individual and group work, 18 minutes) (Purpose: To let the students draw the mind maps of each paragraph according to the key word and have a clear understanding of the text ) Teacher：If we want to have a better understanding of the text, let us draw some mind maps together. A mind map is used to outline information. It is often created around a single word, to which associated information are added. Let us draw the mind map of para 1 together.

Finally, They think it was wrong to treat Captain Bligh in this way, so they choose to go with the Captain, although they just have a compass and a quadrant.

Do you agree? Give your reasons. What kind of leadership qualities do you think Captain Bligh showed？

Examples to the two questions: Question 1: I think it is one of the greatest navigational journey in history, because they just have a

small open boat and lack of food and water. Besides, the sailing equipment is just a compass and a quadrant. But finally they survive and last over forty days.
