Step1Topic

1. Ask students to recite L 26 together

2. Tell a joke about hiking and camping to lead in the text.

Go on a hiking trip

Sherlock Holmes and Matthew Watson were on a camping and hiking trip.

They had gone to bed and were lying there， looking up at the sky. Holmes said,

"Watson, look up. What do you see?

"Well, I see thousands of stars."

"And what does that mean to you?"

"Well, I guess it means we will have another nice day tomorrow. What does it mean

to you, Holmes?"

"To me, it means someone has stolen our tent."

Step 2 General Idea

Text-learning map 1: Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of

a field. As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelled good. After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang

songs by the campfire. 傍晚時分，孩子們在田野中央搭起了帳篷。這件事剛剛做完，他

們就在篝火上燒起了飯。他們全都餓了，飯菜散發出陣陣香味。他們美美地吃了一頓飯后，

就圍在營火旁講起了故事，唱起了歌。

Text-learning map 2：But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleeping bags were warm and

comfortable, so they all slept soundly. 但過了一陣子。天下起雨來，于是他們撲滅了篝火， 鉆進了帳篷。睡袋既暖和又舒服，所以，他們都睡得很香。

Text-learning map 3：In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting. The tent was full of water! They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and

hurried outside. 午夜前后，有兩個孩子醒了，大聲叫了起來。原來帳篷里到處都是水！他 們全都跳出睡袋，跑到外面。

Text-learning map 4：It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed

in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent! 雨下得很大，他們發現地上已經形成了一條小溪。那小溪彎彎曲曲穿過田野，然后正好從他們的帳篷底下流過去。
