Have you ever grown any plants? If so, what did you do to grow them? If not, what kind of plant would you like to grow? How will you grow it?
Step 3 Pre-reading
The purpose of this step is to let students know the importance of rice. By answering the two questions, students can easily understand why we call Dr Yuan Longping a pioneer for all people, and why he devotes
all his life to the rice research.
1.What do you think would happen if tomorrow there was suddenly no
rice to eat?
2. If you had the chance to do one thing to help end famine in the world, what would you do?
Step 4 Fast Reading

designs some questions for students, so that they can easily find the answers and finish the reading task.
1. What does Dr Yuan look like?
2. What’s his achievement?

For Exx 1 and 2, teachers can leave some time for students to finish and then check the answers with the whole class.
Step 6 Summary and Homework
Today we talked about agriculture. And we also read about Dr Yuan Longping. We have known much about the great scientist. OF course we have learned some words and expressions about farming. Please try to grasp these words and expressions after class. Now please look at the poem on the screen:
Farmers weeding at noon,
Sweat down the field soon.
Who knows food on a tray,
Due to their toiling day.
Do you know it? Read it and say whot does it mean?
(It’s 悯农 written by Li Shen.)
The title is A HARD-WORKING FARMER. This is my gift to you. Please read it together. OK, hope you can remember it when you are having your dinners. Besides, I’d like you
to think: even if Dr Yuan’s dreams come true, can this really solve the starvation? Why? This is the homework. Think it over. Next time
I’ll ask some of you to give your
opinion in the class. Another one is to finish the exercises in learning about Language. Exercise 1,2 and 3 are about useful words and expressions. Finish them.
