Step I　 Leading in

As most of the Senior Grade III students start school in August, the weather must be very hot. The teacher may start the class with the following question. “What is the highest temperature recorded this summer?” Then lead students to do the quiz about the amazing facts on Page1.

T: Good morning/ afternoon, everyone!

Ss: Good morning/ afternoon, Mr./ Ms…

T: It is very hot, what is the temperature?

S1: It is reported the highest temperature is 35°C

T:　 Is it the hottest day recoded this summer?

S2: I don’t think so. It was much hotter on July 26. The temperature was 37°C on that day.

T: Good. I’m very glad you are careful about this. But do you know the lowest temperature recorded on earth? (Show the questions on Page 1on the PowerPoint.) Please work in groups and try to find the amazing facts.

Step II Warming up

Students will work in groups to decide the answers. Whether they can guess the answers or not is not important. The aim of this quiz is to stimulate their interest. Two minutes later show the answers on the PowerPoint.

T: Ok. It doesn’t matter whether you guessed the answers or not. How do you find the questions?

Ss: Very interesting.

T: Do you know where to find the answers to such interesting questions?

Ss: The Guinness Book of World Records.

T: Yes, it is a book contains records of all kinds. After class please find more information in the book in the library. In this class we are going to practise measuring and comparing. First look at

some typical measurements. Ok, please read after me.

Show the following on the PowerPoint.

(m=meters　 cm=centimeters　 h=hours)

Height of people (When referring to people, “tall” is used, not“ high”, and measurements are given in feet and inches (but not yards) or meters and centimeters.

She is about 5ft 6 in tall.

The world’s tallest man is 2.55m.

Speed

A speed limit of 30 mph

Sound travels 186,300 miles in a second

Measurement of Temperature

The normal temperature of the human body is 37°C

The lowest temperature ever recorded on earth is-89.2°C

Step III　 Listening

　In this procedure, students will hear someone talk about the size and the speed of humans and animals. The purpose of the exercise is to practise measuring and comparing. Before listening, students will discuss the three questions in groups.

T: Are you familiar with the measurements?

Ss: Yes.

T: Ok. How tall are you. Wang Fei?

S1: I’m 175cms.

T: Then who is the tallest in your class?

Ss: Li Lei and he is 184cms tall.

T: Then we can say Li Lei is taller than Wang Fei. Do you know how tall Yao Ming is?

S2: He is 2.26cms.

T: Then among the people we know Yao Ming is the tallest. OK, let’s come to the listening part. You are going to hear someone talk about the size and the speed of humans and animals. Before we listen to the tape, let’s look at the questions on Page 2.

Now work in groups and discuss the three questions. You are given five minutes.

Five minutes later, check the answers with the whole class. Various answers may be given.

T: Well done. That’s your opinion. Now let’s listen to the tape and hear what others say.

Play the tape for students to finish the Listening Exercises 2-3 on Page 2. Play the tape again when necessary. Then check the answers with the whole class.

Step IV　　 Speaking

An interview of the record-breaking tight ropewalker Adili. While students present the interview, the teacher may show the photos to help the others to understand the interview better.

T: Besides Yao Ming, we have another celebrity. Who is it? (Show the picture of Adili on the powerpiont)

S1: Adili, a tight ropewalker.

T: Who would like to say something about him?

S2: He was born in Xinjiang in 1971.

S3: He has a lovely daughter.

S4: He is famous as the record -breaking tight ropewalker.

S5: His name is in the Guinness Book.

T: Now Adili is visiting our city and you are going to interview him for the school newspaper. Please don’t forget to refer to the information on Page 3. Work in pairs and 5 minutes later I will ask some of you to act it out.

A: My family has been walking on tightropes for 430 years!

A: In May 2002, I broke a world record by staying on a wire rope for 22 days and beat the 21-day Guinness world record. I walked on the rope up to five hours a day. I spent the rest of the time in a hut at the end of the rope.

B: You are very great. I was told you broke some other Guinness world records. Could you say something about your ropewalk across the Three Gorges? How long was the wire? How high was the wire above the ground and how long did the walk take you?
