1. Skimming

3. The use of “transitions”

T: How did the writer connect the ideas? The writer puts the events in the order of space, time or logic?

T: “Transitions” between paragraphs show time or sequences, and they help connect the ideas. With the help of them, the story has a clear sequence.

4. Careful reading

Read the passage carefully, and find the detailed information.

  (1) Paragraph 2: What is the Space Mountain? How was it? How do we know that?

【设计意图：略读——寻读——细读，层层深入，引导学生运用不同的阅读技巧完成任务，引导学生体会表示时间和顺序的连接词的用法，以读促写，为后面的游记写作埋下伏笔。教给学生推断的方法，引导他们关注细节，体会字里行间所表达的情感，提高阅读技能。】
