Whats scanning? Scanning means moving you eyes quickly down the page to find specific information.3、 Come to 2b Scan the article to find out what these number mean: 10,12,200,2,000.Have Ss underline all the numbers that they see in the passage. Then have Ss focus on the four numbers given in the instructions. Have Ss tell their partners what these four numbers represent. Have partners confirm this. Ensure that Ss use complete sentences to describe what the numbers mean, e.g. Adult pandas eat 10 kilos of bamboo daily (instead of just 10kilos of bamboo). To encourage Ss to scan rather than read in detail, ask them finish in a short time, about 2 or 3 minutes.Answers:10Adult pandas eat 10 kilos of bamboo every day12Adult pandas spend more than 12hours a day eating200About 200 pandas live in zoos or research centers in china or other countries.2000Scientists say there are fewer than 2000 pandas living in the forests.4、Come to 2cTo give Ss further practice in scanning for specific information.

And it often makes things worse. Our school is in a small village so the students can take in English only in our English classes. And it doesnt allow us to design more or harder tasks. So this time I just give Ss some easy things to do. They take in more information through the class.
