（Worried about… a wrinkle appeared…）

Q2:What is lala’s hope? （If only…

if only…）

(Her feeling changed；worried-regretful) （Writing Tip 1: Subjunctive mood can express our wish and regret.）

【设计意图】通过主人公心理的描写，梳理出情感的变化线索。然后让学生复习虚拟语气的用法和表达功能，虚拟语气可用于表达希望和遗憾。

Q:What happened last year? What's her feelings then?

(Happy-honoured-thrilled-proud) (Writing Tip 2: Psychology description with details can make the readers appear on the scene.)

More examples: Her heart beat widely when hearing the good news. Hearing the good news, she burst out crying/into tears. Ripples(涟漪） stirred in her heart. 【设计意图】通过倒叙的使用，把主人公对过去的回忆娓娓道来。在描写主人公激动心情的这一部分，可以提供更多的句子，让学生学习如何表达内心的激动，举一反三，以此类推。同时也为下文情感的对比做铺垫。

Para.2

Her feeling

From what Lala saw, we can conclude that: Men and women had different task arrangements

in a primitive

society. It was a picture of sweet scene where the family cooperated well. 【设计意图】通过主人公的三个感官描写，梳理出情感变化。通过所见的一幕，使学生了解到原始社会男女合理分工，家人和谐相处。

The author use environment description to describe the character’s inner feeling, let’s appreciate them.

Appreciation Having heard wolves howling in the forest, Lala accelerated her walk up the path to the caves fearing that there might be wild beasts lying in wait for her.

She had almost reached her destination when a delicious smell arrested her progress and she stopped.

Abruptly she sat down,only to be scooped up by her laughing,shouting sister,Luna. 【设计意图】心理描写是本段特色，罗列三句心理细节描写的句子供学生赏析鉴赏，使其品读语言之美。

Q:Why lala felt relieved at last?

(Home is a safe harbour to give us shelter.

Family is a thread that bond us together.) （Writing Tip 3: Environment description can reflect the character's inner feeling.）

【设计意图】分析主人公此刻的情感变化及原因，结尾升华主题：家庭是避风的港湾，联结的纽带。

Para.3 the description of dahu

Q1：From dahu’s portrait, Can you describe him briefly?

Q2：Choose the words that show the quality of dahu.

Para.4 how dahu make tools 1.Read the first sentence and find：

Q1：What is the tool dahu make? And its function？

Q2: Can you find all the linking words and actions that describe the process of making tools?

（first, then, later, now and then, eventually）

(Writing Tip 5: Actions and linking words are used to describe a process.) 【设计意图】通过阅读本段第一句，让学生快速找到dahu所制作的工具是什么。学生通过找读发现表示顺序和动作的词，回顾关联词的表达，了解如何描述一个事物的过程，并能进行相关复述。

2. Discussion: What qualities make human beings an advanced species??

Man is a smart species because they can adapt to the new surroundings and even transform the environment like Darwin's theory about "the survival of the fittest" suggests.

Man is different from other animals because they can communicate with each other;that is,they are social animals. They keep in touch with each other through traditional activities such as a feast.

Thus, living in a modern civilization, we should hold on to this tradition.

Let’s cherish the past, live in the present, and hope for the future.

【设计意图】利用视频的视觉冲击，让学生自由讨论，得出人之所以是高等物种的原因，从而升华主题。人与自然相互适应协调，人与人和谐相处。我们应该秉持传统，不断前行。

3. Feelings analysis

Q1：What was lala’s feeling at last? (confident)

Q2：Why lala’s feeling changed at last?

（It was the company of her family that cheered her up. Wherever we go, the family always support us and bond us together.）

Q3：Do you think this is the ending of the story? 【设计意图】最后通过主人公情绪变化原因整体分析，揭示“家人团结协作”这个主题。同时自然过渡到文章接下来的续写。
