(探究活動) (Some suggested methods in teaching the following reading.
1. Digital information. Before class ask Ss to surf on the internet for information about Australia. Ss can be divided into different groups according to different aspects of the country, e.g. natural features --location, climate, population, resources and so on, big cities and economics, history and culture, politics etc. In class Ss exchange their information and ask and answer questions. After class they can write an article about what they are most interested in.
2. Digital learning. Before class the teacher is supposed to get as much information as possible and put it into the computer for Ss to share later. During the class Ss are supposed to write a paper about any aspect about Australia on the computer by referring to any information they can get from the computer or books. They can also ask each other or the teacher questions and answer them by the net. They can also work in pairs or groups if they like. In class the teacher is to help Ss with any problems both in knowledge and in the use of computer. Of course the teacher can give different tasks for different Ss to do in class in order that the papers of the class will be sure to cover all the things about Australia.
3. Transferring and developing learned knowledge. Ss have learned some expressions to describe a country, for example, Canada, so they are able to summary the feathers of Australia before class. During the class some of the Ss are supposed to introduce Australia to others and after that they are asked to talk about China following the way of writing about Australia either in groups or in pairs. The more things about China they can add, the better comment they will get. After class the Ss have to hand in their papers either in groups or in pairs. That means that one students only needs to write one or some parts of China and the whole group or pair makes a complete paper. )
