   1. T: Now I know your favorite animals, let’s talk about today’s animals, lions.

   S: The lion is large and strong (teach large and strong.)

   S2: The lion has sharp teeth. (Teach sharp)

   T: So at the beginning of the story, there was a lion in the forest, (lead the students to read) he was large and strong.

   T: What about the mouse?

   S: The mouse is small.

   S2: the mouse is afraid of the lion.

   S3: The mouse is weak. (Teach weak)

   S4: The mouse also has sharp teeth.

   2. T: Yes, one day, they met in the forest, how did they meet? Please read part2.

   S: One day, the mouse walked by and woke the lion up.

   T: How was the lion?

   S: The lion was angry and wanted to eat the lion.

   T: Yes, let’s read it together. (PPT presents the Chinese meaning of walked…by and woke…up)

   T: Here woke is the past form of wake, wake…up.

   T: We know the lion was angry, look at this picture and was the lion angry?

   S: No.

   S: The lion laughed.

   T: Yes, the lion laughed loudly, why? Please read part 2 and choose.

   S: Because the mouse said:” Please don’t eat me, I can help you some day.” But the lion thought it was funny.

   T: Did you think it was funny?

   S: Yes. I thought it was funny.

   T: Why?

   S: Because the mouse was so small and weak, I don’t think he can help the lion.

   3. T: Yeah, maybe he can or may be not, next let’s read in pairs.

   T: Did the mouse laugh loudly?

   S: No, he said quietly(指导学生朗读quietly)

   T: If I was the lion, who can be the mouse? (示范和指导朗读)

   T: Now you try.

   4. T: So at last, did the lion eat the mouse?

   S: No, he didn’t, he let the mouse go.

   T: Yes. The next day, two men caught him with a large net.(PPT presents the net)

   5. T: Guess what happened next? (PPT presents the three choices)

   S: I think C is right.

   S2: I think maybe A is right. (teach bit, bit is the past form of bite)

   T: So let’s open the envelop and read part 3 and tell me which one is right.

   S: We should choose ‘C’. Someone helped the lion.

   T: Here someone means…

   S: The mouse.

   T: How did he help? Please read part4.

   S: The mouse made a big hole in the net with his teeth.(PPT presents the hole)

   6.T: And the lion(引导学生说出) got out.

   We know the lion has sharp teeth, so why can’t he make a hole by himself? Please discuss this in groups.

   S: I think the lion is too large so he can’t make a hole.

   S2: I think …….

   7.  T: I think you did a good job here, now guess what happened at last? Please discuss in groups and write it on the paper.

   S: I think the lion and the mouse became friends.

   I think one day the mouse got caught, the lion helped him.
