III. Pre-reading: (2mins) brainstorm/predict
1) Brainstorm
Give me one minute to brainstorm with your partners in small groups. Tell me what plants can
be used for.
2) Predict
With the help of the title, could you please tell me what will be talked about in the passage?
Let’ answer this question group by group.
In your opinion, what may this article talk about?
Can you guess what we are going to learn today through the title?
Well, you are pretty good at predicting. Here are some good predictions. Why not read the
passage by yourself to check whether this information is talked about or not? You only have 2
mins. Remember when you read the passage, you are sure to meet some new words. Don’t be
eager to look them up. Try to guess their meanings according to the context or you can refer
to the word bank on page 85. Understand me? Here we go!

Good idea. Do you agree with him? Any disagreement? Any different opinion?
How did you find it?
You find it by reading the first sentence and the last sentence of all the paragraphs. Good
answer! What do we usually call these sentences? Do you know? Yeah, topic sentences. Usually
we can find the main idea by reading the topic sentences. Good job!

text on this piece of paper. So what you need to do is that first read the text on the paper to
your group members. When everyone finishes reading, all the group members should work
