The bigger picture shows a landscape of mountains covered with ice,maybe in Antarctic.The smaller one is about rowing a small boat by six people,maybe they are Shackleton’s rescue team.`I think it’s very difficult for Shackleton’s rescue team to get to another island,because they might face many challenges.First of all,it was very cold and there was snow and ice everywhere.The area is also very mountainous,so they had to climb with their essentials.It could also be hard to know where they were going as the place is very large and all looks the same.One top of the physical challenges,they might have great mental challenges facing those conditions and not knowing what to expect and whether they would succeed.

T:We have learnt that Shackleton and his team tried to sail to another island to find help.Look at the picture and discuss the challenges you think they faced.
Suggested answer:
Looking at the landscape in the picture,I think Shackleton and his team might face many challenges.First of all,it was very cold and there was snow and ice everywhere.The area is also very mountainous,so they had to climb with their essentials.It could also be hard to know where they were going as the place is very large and all looks the same.One top of the physical challenges,they might have great mental challenges facing those conditions and not knowing what to expect and whether they would succeed.

Look at the title and picture and predict:
1.What do you think was the biggest challenge for them?
2.Were they finally rescued?Why?
Suggested answers:
1.The answers vary.

StepⅣ Write an essay about Shackleton and Endurance.
Activity1 Combining all the information from the text,discuss with your partner and write down the structure of the story.
paragraph 1
paragraph 2
paragraph 3
Suggested answers:
paragraph 1:Summary of the whole story(who,what,when,where,why,how).
paragraph 2:What I think about the characters in the story(struggles they faced,their actions and motives,my comments).
paragraph 3:How the story made me feel and my overall impressions of the expedition.
Activity 2 Write the essay independently
One possible version:
This story is about the 1914-1916 expedition by Ernest Shackleton to make the first land crossing of Antarctica.For this task he used the ship Endurance with a 28-man crew,including one stowaway.
Shackleton is described as calm and brave and takes his crew’s safety very seriously.
The rest of the crew are also brave,though a few are not very positive,and all were at times understandably worried and desperate about their situation.Overall though,they remained positive.This was helped by the good relationship Shackleton had with his crew who trusted him and knew he would do his best to save them.
The crew faced great troubles once Endurance got stuck in the ice.Soon they had to abandon the ship and camp on the ice.They had to face the extreme weather and cold as well as the dangerous environment and all with limited supplies.All of this added to the mental challenge,so they had to maintain a positive state of mind.Shackleton’s motive was always to make sure his crew survived,and theirs was to last until he had found help.
What I like most about this story is that although their expedition failed in achieving its goal,it was not the disaster it could have been.This was due to Shackleton’s perseverance in getting help and the crew’s bravery in surviving for so long.My impression of them is very positive as they must have struggled greatly in such a position of adversity.I felt very happy when I learnt that the whole crew survived.
Activity3 Exchange the draft with a partner,evaluate and polish the draft according to the checklist.
√
Does the writer explain the summary of the whole story clearly?
√
Does the writer describe the personality that a person needs to make an expedition and the personality that a leader needs?
√
Does the writer use appropriate linking words and phrases to tie the ideas together?
√
Does the writer use separate paragraphs, each with its own function?
Activity4 Present and Share
Ask some students to present their works in front of the class and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages.
StepⅤ Homework
请同学们写出心目中一位大家较为熟悉的、克服困难后成功的名人,描述他/她遇到什么困难,是如何以乐观坚毅的态度应对人生的逆境和挫折的,对你的学习和生活有什么启发。
Suggested answer:
Beethoven,a paragon of growth in adversity,is a great man to admire.
The loss of his mother in his early years and the deafness in his middle age had all contributed to a severe blow to Beethoven.He had nothing to confront these challenges but his perseverance,enthusiasm and devotion to music.Only by relying on a branch can he hear the sound of the piano,and he didn’t give up practising.It was his great efforts that made him successful.
Beethoven being a shinning model,we should never be defeated by any difficulty in our life like him.
