Step 2 Predicting

Get the Ss to read the title and pictures, and have them predict the main content of the passage.

Step 3 Skimming to get the general idea

Get the Ss to read the passage and find the answers to the four questions (two minutes) and try to sum up the general idea of the passage.

The title A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE tells us that there are two main threads through the passage: PROTECTOR and WILDLIFE

We can have students scan the passage and answer the following questions:

1) Who is the protector? (Jane Goodall)

2) What animals are observed? (chimps)

3) Where did Jane Goodall arrive at Gombe? What did Jane do in the forest?
