《Puzzles in Geography》教学设计Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!教师提问：1. Do the four countries work together?（To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas）（教师追问：what does “to their credit” mean? Why did the author use “do” before “work”）2. Do they work together in all areas?（but they still have very different institutions）（教师追问：what did the author put emphasis on? How do you know?）设计意图：把这一段呈现在ppt上，一方面是为了直观的展示这一段要表达的两个意思(四个国家在某方面相互合作，但也有各自的机构)中，作者通过but一词强调后者；另一方面是为了突出’to their credit’和’do work”这两个短语，学习它们的意思和用法。
Para 4: England本段主要引导学生探讨Why is England mentioned? 对于这个问题，学生很容易找到的原因是本段中的England is the largest of the four。
其实，关于这个问题，还有两个隐含的原因。
教师可引导学生回忆英国历史，通过回忆，他们就不难发现第二个原因England was the first of the four。
