Period 3 A sample lesson plan for Using Language (“OPTIMISM HELPED US PERSEVERE.”) Introduction Language is learned to be used in and for communication.

So in this period we shall have the students read, listen, speak and write in English, focusing on the passage on page 9 and making use of the words, expressions, structures and topic ideas covered to communicate in this unit.

Objectives ■

To help students read the passage “OPTIMISM HELPED US PERSEVERE.”

■

To help students use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing Procedures 1. Warming up by learning more about Sir Ernest Shackleton In 1914 Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 set sail for the last unclaimed prize in the history of exploration: the first crossing on foot of the Antarctic continent.

Within eighty-five miles of the continent their ship Endurance was trapped and slowly crushed by pack ice. With no communication to the outside world their ordeal would last twenty months.

With Shackleton's inspiring leadership the crew struggled to stay alive in one of the most inhospitable regions of the world. Miraculously, not one man was lost, surviving extreme cold, breaking ice floes, leopard seal attacks and an open boat journey that would be called one of the greatest navigational feats in nautical history.

2. Listening

You are to listen to a tape about Shackleton about his journey to South Georgia and finish exercises 1 and 2 on page 8.

3. Speaking

Closing down by reading about Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition Sir Ernest Shackleton and his team of men set out to conquer the Antarctic continent as the world became embroiled in World War One. All but forgotten back home in Britain, Shackleton's expedition drifted with the ice for nearly two years. Facing hunger, loneliness, near-mutiny and what has come to be known as the greatest small-boat journey in history, this is their story.
