Suppose you are a newspaper reporter, and the other is a witness of the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake. Now the newspaper reporter is interviewing the witness.→Step 5 ExtensionShow the questions on the screen and have a discussion.1. From whose point of view are events described? How do you know?2. What is the mood of this passage? How is it created?3. Why do you think the writer chooses to express his feelings about the quake rather than simply report what had happened?4. Why does the writer use A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP as the title?5. What does the sentence “Slowly, the city began to breathe again” mean?Suggested answers:1. A writer’s who didn’t see the earthquake. He uses the thirdperson to describe the quake. His description is very objective. For example, in the second sentence of the third paragraph “Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed. ”, the writer uses “they” instead of “we”.2. The mood is serious and a bit sad. It is created by giving details of how many people and animals were killed or injured and how many buildings were destroyed.3. Although the writer was not there, he felt sad for the people of Tangshan. He knows that giving some personal feelings will make the reading more interesting.4. I think the reason is that, as usual, night is the time to sleep, and night should be safe and quiet. But that ni ght everything changed. The writer uses A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP as a title to show how terrible and how unusual that night was.5. Here we can see that the writer pared the city to a person who suffered a lot in the disaster. He felt her pain, and he worried about her. So when he said that people came to help her, we can feel his feelings to her. The city will not die, she has hope and she can recover from the pain.→Step 6 ConsolidationAsk the students to read the passage again and try to retell it.One possible version:Strange things happened in Tangshan. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell. The well walls had deep cracks and a smelly gas came out the cracks. The chickens, pigs and mice were too nervous. Fish jumped out of bowls and ponds. At 3:00 am on July, 1976, people saw bright lights in the sky and heard the sound of planes even when no planes were in the sky. The water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst.At 3:42 am everything began to shake. It seemed that the world was at the end Onethird of the nation felt it. A huge crack cut across the city. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay inruins. Twothirds of the people died or were injured. Nearly everything was destroyed in the city. 75% of its factories and 90% of its homes were gone. Then later that afternoon, another big earthquake shook Tangshan. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.All hope was not lost. The army sent 150 000 soldiers to help them. Workers built shelters for survivors. Slowly, the city began to breathe again.→Step 7 Homework1. Learn the new words and expressions in this part by heart.2. Read the text again and again and write a summary of the text.。
