1.enjoy a poem and tell me what the poem talk about?

(value, cherish , treature the rice . respect the farmers . growing rice is a hard work... )

2. almost all of us are from the countryside , farmers' farmily. So we are familiar with that how to grow our main food--rice?( plow, seed, insert, irrigate, spay, harvest)

-1)First, the farmers plow the field. They have to make the soil loose enough to plant crops.

(the purpose of this step is to let students know the importance of rice. By answering the two questions, students can easily understand why we call Dr Yuan Longping a pioneer for all people, and why he devotes all his life to the rice research.)

3.. face the problem, our China has a grest scientist who plays an important role in help the world end hunger. He is the father of hybrid rice. Do you know who he is? (Yuan Longping)

He saw the great need for increasing the rice output through the advancement of science and technology when he was young. He has (struggled ) for the past five (decades) to grow (super) hybrid rice. This special strain (品种，种类)of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields . Father of Hybrid Rice
