Step 1 Brainstorming
T asks Ss to look at the title and answer the following questions.
◆ What do you know about the attack on Pearl Harbor
◆ How do you think about the title Why does it use ‘hell comes to’
【設計意圖：讓學生閱讀標題導入今天的主題——珍珠港遭襲事件，激發學生舊知——對于歷史書中關于珍珠港事件的描述，并要求其盡可能用英語描述出來；再帶領學生思考為什么要說“hell comes to Pearl Harbor”呢？重點關注“hell”一詞。】
Step 2 Skimming
T asks Ss to read the article and figure out its main idea and structure with the help of the tip “Identifying the chronological order”.
◆What does the article mainly talk about
◆Try to identify the structure.

4. T asks Ss to retell what happened that day from Louis’s perspective.
【設計意圖：先讓學生通過時間線縷清故事情節，再讓學生閱讀并完成書本上的習題，了解并概括珍珠港被襲擊前、中、后以及現狀，最后通過復述來鞏固所學內容。】
Step 3 Detailed reading
T asks Ss to scan each paragraph to find some detailed information.
T asks Ss to read the first paragraph and answer the following questions.
What is the main idea of the first paragraph
What is the function of the last sentence
T asks Ss to read paragraph 2 and discuss how the author describes the sudden attack by making use of different senses.
Senses Examples

3. T asks Ss to read paragraph 5 and discuss the following question.
◆Why does the author list numbers in this paragraph
4. T asks Ss to read the article again and underline the sentences showing the war’s physical and mental impacts on individuals.
Physical impacts Mental impacts
【設計說明：通過一系列問題引導學生閱讀，幫助學生理解原文，也為后面的further thinking做好鋪墊。】
Step 4 Appreciating the title
T asks Ss to appreciate the title.
◆After reading the whole passage, now how do you think of the title Are there any figures of speech in it
【設計說明：讀完文章之后再次賞析標題，讓學生了解這個標題之中的“妙”，也是對之前學生預測的印證。】
Step 5 Further thinking
T asks Ss to finish part B on page 40.
◆Why should we never forget the attack on Pearl Harbor
【設計說明：讓學生看到文本的最后一句話，引發學生思考“為何不應該忘記珍珠港事件”，這問題的設置既是對文章中心意思的回顧，更是對學生情感態度以及價值觀的培養。】
Step 6 Writing
T asks Ss to write a lecture draft.
假定你是李華，被學校邀請做一個關于“勿忘歷史”的英文演講，內容需包括：
為何要“勿忘歷史”；
作為中學生，我們應該如何做。
【設計意圖：該部分是對課文主題的升華，在“珍珠港事件”的基礎上，讓學生思考為何要“勿忘歷史”，又該怎樣做。】
