1.What kind of food did Lala’s

family prepare for the feast? Skimming

Please decide whether the statements are true or false. 1. Lala’s family groups usually lived together. 2. Dahu was good at making tools. 3. The family groups lived on hunting . 4. Dahu went out to sharpen the scrapers to kill an enemy. Careful reading In pairs work out which jobs Dahu did and which Lala did. 1. Which jobs did Dahu do? 2. Which jobs did Lala do? 3. Who works cooperatively and who does tasks alone? 4. Who does the most dangerous tasks? 5. Where does the danger come from? After listening to the tape, the students discuss the above questions in groups and then try to find the answers to the above questions.

Sample answers: 1. To make tools, to catch fish, to cut up the meat, to scrape the fish, to welcome the guests. 2. To collect nuts and fruit, to prepare the meat over the fire.

3. Both men and women work cooperatively. For example, Lala’s mother and aunts were preparing the meat of deer and pig over the fire. Men do tasks alone. 4. Men do the most dangerous tasks. 5. The danger comes from the wild animals. Step Ⅳ Post-reading T: From the reading passage, we can see that long ago men and women had quite separate responsibilities. In groups discuss what the possible work division was between men and women at that time. After a few minutes, check the answers.

Sample answers:

Men’s tasks: making tools, fishing, making fire, protecting the family from wild animals, cutting up meat.

Women’s tasks: collecting nuts and fruit, making and sewing clothes, looking after baby, preparing food, doing housework. T: Now look closely at the tasks above and discuss which adjectives best describe each of them. Give your reasons. Sample answers:

adjectives best describe the women: caring, affectionate, safe, co-operative adjectives best describe the men: protective, dangerous, patient, individual, exhausting S1: The fact that when Lala sat down abruptly, she was scooped up by her sister shows women were caring. Women were safe because they usually stayed inside the caves preparing food over the fire.

S2: When men went out fishing and hunting, women stayed inside preparing food. So they were both co-operative.

S3: When Dahu went back with fish over his shoulder, and took the stone scrapers from Lala, he smiled and went outside the cave. From Dahu’s behavior, we can infer men were affectionate.

S4: From the descriptions about Dahu, such as “carried”, “smiled”, “looked carefully”, “went to a corner”, “pulled out more tools”, “chose one large stone”, “began to hit...”, we can see men were patient, and often did individual work. They did so many things and their work was dangerous and exhausting.
