Step Ⅰ Revision Check the homework. Ask the students to recite some useful words and expressions. Step Ⅱ Lead-in

T: In the previous period, we learned something about the life of Peking man. Peking Man life is part of our ancient ancestors. What about the general ancestors’ life? Now turn to page 43 and look at the pictures and think what these early people are doing? S1: Some are preparing food. S2: One is making tools by sharpened stone tools and scraper. T: Good. From the picture, we can learn something about early people’s life. Now read the passage and find out what the life was like.

Step Ⅲ Reading Play the tape for the students to listen. At the same time, the students are asked to find the answers to the following questions. 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. In groups discuss whether they were men’s (M) tasks or women’s (W) tasks at that time.
