Step I Revision

Check the homework Part 3 on Page 50.

T: I have asked you to preview the passage on P14. Now I will check to see if you have done it.

Ask several Ss to answer some questions about the passage. T: Who was Atlanta? S: Atlanta was a Greek princess. T: Yes! What was she good at? S: She was good at running. T: Good! Who did she want to marry? S: She wanted to marry a man who could run faster than her. T: You got it! Who was Hippomenes? S: He was a man who wanted to marry Atlanta. T: Yes! How could he win Atlanta? S: He asked for help from the Greek Goddess of Love. The Greek Goddess of Love gave him three golden apples to attract Atlanta’s attention and make her slow down. T: Well done! Step II Reading

Listen to the tape to get the general idea. T: Please listen to the tape carefully to get the general idea. T: Who have got the main idea? S: The story is about a princess who races to marry the man that can run faster than her. In order to win the race, a man asks for help from the Goddess of Love. T: Very good. Let’s come to Exercise 1: True or False questions. Read the story quickly and finish True or False questions. Now, read the sentences first and read the passage to judge True or False. Check the answers in class.

T: Read the story again carefully and then discuss in pairs: What will happen during the race between Hippomenes and Atlanta? Who do you think will win the race? T: Can you guess the end of the race between Atlanta and Hippomenes? Who will win the race? Why do you think so?

S1: In my opinion, Atlanta will win the race, because she could run faster than any man in Greek. T: Your guess is so reasonable and logical. S2: I think Hippomenes will win the race, because he asked the Greek Godness of Love for help.

T: It sounds logical. Whose guess is the same with the writer? Let’s listen to the story, after that we will get the correct answer.
