Part 3 Analysis of the students

In order that the students can make progress in English and have interest in the historical story， we mainly talk about the introductions of different kinds of stories. In class, I will let the students know about the topic and encourage them to describe what they saw and happened in their lives. Reading through the story is also a good way of learning the past.

  Based on over a year of senior English study, the students have adapted themselves to English learning through various activities, and they have acquired some independent and cooperative learning abilities. However, in the countryside there is no environment to learn English, so they should have more chances to practise.

   Besides, because this lesson is about reading and speaking, it must be helpful for the students to improve their reading skills and spoken English.

 Part 4.  Teaching Procedure

1)Step 1. Organization and revision

Use pictures to help the students talk about different kinds of stories to review what was learned in the last lesson.

2) Step2.  Presentation

3)Step3  scanning

Ask Ss to skim the passage and see if their predictions are correct. At the same time, they should grasp the main idea of each paragraph.

3.      Why does the article describe Pompeii as a “ time capsule ” ?
