Step V Food for thought
1. Would you be interested in taking the same trip as Li Daiyu and Liu Qian Why or why not
2.How is a rail journey different from other forms of travel,such as by plane or by car
（設(shè)計(jì)意圖：通過(guò)讓學(xué)生回答上述問題，加深學(xué)生對(duì)課文的理解，提高其邏輯思維能力。）
Suggested answers:
1.I would love to take such a journey. It seems so wonderful and relaxing, and I would get to see many beautiful sites.
2. A rail journey is different from a car journey,with a car journey,if you see something interesting,you can stop and take a look. A journey by plane will get you to your destination much faster than a trip by train or by car.However,usually you cannot see anything interesting from a plane window, and a plane gives much less space and fewer opportunities to get up and walk around.
Step VI Critical thinking
1.Can you feel the excitement of the two cousins during the journey Besides this,what else do you think they can learn from this journey
2. As a travel journal,do you think that the writer has provided you with enough information about Canada If not,what can be added to the text
（設(shè)計(jì)意圖：引導(dǎo)學(xué)生深度思考并回答問題，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的批判性思維。）
Suggested answers:
1. Yes,we can. I think,besides this,they both can learn much information about Canada, such as the weather,the geography and the unique natural beauty and so on.
2. No,not enough. I think the writer can describe more about the beautiful scenery of each place where the cousins have visited. And to make it much better,he/she can describe something about the people in those places by descibing the interactions with the local people. Sometimes,he/she can also describe something that happened between the cousins and the people sitting together with them on the traffic tools.
Step VIl Language use
Suppose you are a travel guide,please explain the beauty of Lake Louise to your travellers.
（設(shè)計(jì)意圖：學(xué)以致用，用所學(xué)知識(shí)向他人描述一個(gè)地方的景色。）
Suggested answer:
Welcome to the beautiful Lake Louise. First,please look at the water. How blue and clear it is! The reflection of the sky is scattered over the surface in crumbs of smiling blue. Then look far across the lake,you can feel the wide stretch of the lake and you can also feel the strength of nature which takes our breath away.
Step VIl Homework
Surf the Internet to find more information about Canada.
（設(shè)計(jì)意圖：引導(dǎo)學(xué)生對(duì)加拿大的風(fēng)光和人文情懷進(jìn)行更全面的了解，從而激發(fā)學(xué)生對(duì)自然與生活的熱愛、敬畏和向往。）
Suggested answer:
The answer may vary.
Step IX 核心素養(yǎng)專練
1.The world is a book,but people who do not travel read only one page.
2. Travelling costs a lot of money, but it makes you understand the society.
3.Life is like a journey. What you should care about is not the destination,but the scenery on the way and your mood when you see the scenery.
4. If you don't travel,you will miss more than scenery.
Suggested answers:
1．世界是一本書，而不旅行的人只讀了其中的一頁(yè)。
2．旅行雖頗費(fèi)錢財(cái)，卻使你了解社會(huì)。

教學(xué)反思
本節(jié)是一節(jié)閱讀課，首先根據(jù)標(biāo)題對(duì)文章內(nèi)容和體裁進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè)，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的預(yù)測(cè)能力。其次，進(jìn)行語(yǔ)篇分析，從整體上把握游記的寫作順序和時(shí)間標(biāo)志詞。然后，通過(guò)精讀找細(xì)節(jié)，從旅游的路徑和語(yǔ)言描寫的角度關(guān)注游記的記敘方式。最后，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生運(yùn)用批判的眼光看問題，找出本篇游記的不足以及解決辦法，從而更好地理解游記體裁的寫作特點(diǎn)。
