下面小编为大家带来新课标 选修9 高三 Unit 3 Australia(共含11篇),希望大家喜欢!同时,但愿您也能像本文投稿人“Amiee”一样,积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
(一)教材分析:
本单元的中心话题是“澳大利亚”,主要内容涉及澳大利亚的地理、历史、主要城市、自然风光、野生动植物、风俗习惯等内容。语言技能和语言知识都是围绕这一中心设计的。
热身(Warming-up)部分用几幅关于澳洲的大城市和著名的风景点的图画,过渡到这个单元的课题,并引出与下面阅读课文相关的词汇和背景知识。
读前部分旨在训练学生的阅读技巧,要求学生快速浏览五篇短文后,回答前面的这个部分设计的三个问题。
阅读部分包含五篇主题相同却风格各异的短文,百科全书选段、新闻报道、广告、明信片、旅游手册文章,从多角度概叙了澳大利亚的国家全貌。理解部分由三项练习组成,练习1和“读前”部分相呼应,也是要求学会快速阅读课文,旨在训练略读技巧。练习2要求学生仔细回答仔细细读课文,同时标出自己以前不了解的一些关于澳大利亚的信息,列出其中最有意思的五项,并与同伴交流讨论。这个练习从形式上看比较简单,但他能使学生对文中信息进行主动加工,从认知层面提升到思维层面,从而书本上的知识纳入了自己的知识体系。练习3是对课文内容的拓展,训练学生的逻辑思维能力和表达能力。由于五篇短文大多是陈述性和描叙性的语言,而没有表达个人的观点的语句,因此,该练习借用文中提到的一些事实发问,以激发学生对文章内容的深沉思考。问题的答案不能从文中直接找到,要求学生有理有据地说出自己的观点。
“语言学习”部分由词汇和语法两部分组成。词汇部分练习1匙一个含11个空的语篇,要求学生用课文中出现的生词填空。练习2也是个语篇题,内容是关于澳大利亚早期移民的艰苦生活。这个练习要求学生首先阅读短文,看看其中画线单词是否认识,不要着急查词典,先试试猜一猜的它的意思,并写在“你的释义”一栏中。最后,再查英英词典,将你不认识的单词的定义写在“定义”一栏中。这项练习包含了两种重要的词汇策略:1)根据上下文猜测生词的意思; 2)。用英语给英语单词下定义。练习3也包含了两种重要的词汇学习策略。即“学一个记一串”, 以一个单词为中心,衍生出与之相关的派生词和合成词。这个练习给予学生充分的联想空间,既巩固了课文生词,又复习了旧词,还通过同伴之间相互交流认识了更多的生词,一举多得。 语法部分复习的重点是“表语”。 三个练习所用的语篇虽然不同,但任务是一样的,都是要求学生辨认表语的各种形式。
语言的运用分为“听说”和“阅读讨论” 两部分。 听力材料为魏平和他的好友之间的一段对话---鲍勃劝说魏平去野营,但魏平有所顾忌。练习1介绍听力内容发生的背景,并让学生预测魏平为什么对露营敢到紧张,他有可能害怕什么。“阅读讨论”部分的主要内容是关于澳大利亚的几种危险动物展开。
辩论部分提供的题目是:澳大利亚是一个危险的旅游地点。
写作是读写结合的任务型活动。而这一任务又是前面“阅读”和“辩论”的延续。学生通过前面部分获得的有关澳大利亚危险野生动物信息和“辩论”部分的总结,自己对“露营是否安全”这一问题给予回答。

Supplement materials of debate
Introduction
A debate round has two teams with two debaters each and a Speaker. The Speaker serves as both the judge and arbiter of the rules during the round. Note here that “Speaker” always refers to the judge from this point forward. One team represents the Government, while the other represents the Opposition. The Government team is composed of a Prime Minister, who speaks twice, and a Member of Government, who speaks once. The Opposition team is composed of a Leader of the Opposition, who speaks twice, and a Member of the Opposition, who speaks once. The Government proposes a specific case statement, which the government team must demonstrate to be correct. The Opposition does not have to propose anything, but must demonstrate that the case statement is not correct. The Speaker decides at the end of the round, based on the arguments made in the round, whether the Government has proved its case or whether the Opposition has disproved it. The team which met its burden more convincingly wins.
Rules of Debate Rules of Debate
(condensed from Competitive Debate: Rules and Techniques,
by George McCoy Musgrave. New York: H.W. Wilson, 1957)
1. There are two teams, each consisting of two or three speakers.
2. Each team has two or three constructive speeches, and two to three rebuttal speeches. The affirmative gives the first constructive speech, and the rebuttals alternate: negative, affirmative, negative, affirmative. The affirmative has both the first and last speeches of the debate.
3. When worded as a proposition of policy, the topic requires the affirmative to support some specified action by some particular individual or group. The affirmative has the right to make any reasonable definition of each of the terms of the proposition. If the negative challenges the reasonableness of a definition by the affirmative, the judge must accept the definition of the team that shows better grounds for its interpretation of the term.
4. The affirmative must advocate everything required by the topic itself. No revision of position of a team is permitted during the debate.
5. He who asserts must prove. In order to establish an assertion, the team must support it with enough evidence and logic to convince an intelligent but previously uninformed person that it is more reasonable to believe the assertion than to disbelieve it. Facts must be accurate. Visual materials are permissible, and once introduced, they become available for the opponents' use if desired.
6. In the questioning period, the questioner may ask any fair, clear question that has a direct bearing on the debate. The questioner may use the period to build up any part of his own case, to tear down any part of his opposition's case, or to ascertain facts, such as the opposition's position on a certain issue, that can be used later in the debate. The questioner must confine himself to questions and not make statements, comments, or ask rhetorical questions.
7. Each speaker is questioned as soon as he concludes his constructive speech. The witness must answer the questions without consulting his colleagues.
8. No new constructive arguments may be introduced in the rebuttal period. The affirmative must, if possible, reply to the major negative arguments before the last rebuttal.
9. The judge must base his decision entirely on the material presented, without regard for other material which he may happen to possess.
10. Any gains made outside of the established procedure are disallowed.

苏教《史记》选读教案及练习9(苏教版高三选修) 教案教学设计
三、语言表达
1.提取引用法,即直接从文本中提取写作材料“为我所用”。请以“苦难”为话题,用“提取引用法”写一个片断。
【解析】本专题的《太史公自序》《报任安书》两篇课文,犹如小小的百科全书,其中隐含着大量的写作素材,如“人固有一死,或重于泰山,或轻于鸿毛,用之所趋异也。”“盖文王拘而演《周易》;……大底圣贤发愤之所为作也。”等名言警句;司马迁忍辱负重的人生经历,李斯、韩信、周勃等人的人生挫折,文王、仲尼、屈原、左丘明等人困境中成就伟业的事迹,都是及好的写作材料。
【示例】苦难是金!宝剑锋自磨砺出,梅花香自苦寒来,不受一番风霜苦,哪得红梅扑鼻香。是的,当苦难来临时,我们需要把它们看成是正常的人生经历,看成是享受而不是痛苦,看成是挑战而不是退缩,看成是开始而不是结束,看成是奋起而不是沉沦!这样我们就会在一次次人生经历中不断散发出独特而迷人的芬芳,这芬芳就如同金子般珍贵。在中国古代史上,这样的例子不胜枚举。汉代著名史学家司马迁在《报任少安书》中写道:“古者富贵而名摩灭,不可胜记,唯倜傥非常之人称焉。盖文王拘而演《周易》;仲尼厄而作《春秋》;屈原放逐,乃赋《离骚》;左丘失明,厥有《国语》;孙子膑脚,《兵法》修列;不韦迁蜀,世传《吕览》;韩非囚秦,《说难》《孤愤》;《诗》三百篇,大抵圣贤发愤之所为作也。”一个个古代先贤,面临苦难时毫不低头逃避,而是凭着顽强的毅力,坚定的信念在他们的人生之路上流下了一串串深深的脚印,历史的风尘永远也遮盖不了它们!
[简评]本段文字很恰切地“提取引用”了《报任安书》中的名言,可见,学会从课本中筛选这些写作素材,并系统地整理在读写笔记上,进而创造性地运用到自己的写作中去,实在是一条积累写作材料,提高写作能力最直接、最方便的捷径。
2.剪辑重组法,即对文本中符合写作话题主旨的名言警句、典故、故事以及人物事迹,用时代的目光去审视,略加改造,稍加整理,围绕某一中心,有层次地加以组合成文的方法。请用这种方法根据要求写两段文字。
(1)以“司马迁”为主体,描写一个情景。
(2)整合文本材料以“生与死”为话题写一个议论段。
【解析】剪辑重组法就是通过丰富的想象,进行细致描写,再现典型人物当时的情景,或者根据话题的写作要求创设新的环境,让人物在这个新创设的环境中展示自己的精神风格,体现作文命题的主旨。
【示例】(1)一个冷清、幽深的囚房,墙上的窗户里斜射几丝惨淡的光,一个无奈,但又沉重的声音,低低地说:“我,接受腐刑。”抬起头来,两行清泪从脸颊滑落。
对,他就是司马迁,他直言进谏,却惹来君主的`大怒,并被赐予腐刑这种让人耻辱的刑罚。
[简评]本段对司马迁的遭遇,通过超越时空的想象把石历史中仅寥寥几笔的简单记载,加以扩充,有景物描写,有人物、神态、动作描写,能逼真地再现当时当地的情景,使人物活灵活现。这种类型的作文尤其要注意细节描写,在细节描写上显示自己的写作功力,展示文学才情。
【示例】(2)死可以明志,生,却可以践志。当死临到司马迁的头上时,他选择生。一种令肉体与精神,令自己与亲友都极度痛苦的生--接受宫刑。司马迁是一朝为官,只因他出于公正之心,为李陵辩护,开罪于皇帝。假如就为此而死,亦不失为一位直谏烈臣。但司马迁为自己规定的人生使命却不是仅仅如此。他要完成千古史记,中国的第一部非官方记载的历史文学。……这明明是一种冲破思想牢笼与真相禁锢的叛逆之举!司马迁选择“受刑”弃政从文。正是这毅然之举使司马迁从匍匐于地的殿臣中站立出来,超越了所谓君主,将他的事业和人生寄托,从当朝君主的体系中分离了出去,此可谓:弃一帝而得天下千秋!
[简评]本段文字整合、概括了司马迁的遭遇,表明了司马迁为了完成历史巨著《史记》毅然选择了生,他的这种精神同样深受人民传颂。整段文字夹叙夹议,表达简洁有力。
3.有些材料,只要变换角度审视,就会给人以耳目一新之感。请根据《报任安书》中的文段变换角度立意。
古者富贵而名摩灭,不可胜记,唯倜傥非常之人称焉。盖文王拘而演《周易》;仲尼厄而作《春秋》;屈原放逐,乃赋《离骚》;左丘失明,厥有《国语》;孙子膑脚,《兵法》修列;不韦迁蜀,世传《吕览》;韩非囚秦,《说难》《孤愤》;《诗》三百篇,大抵圣贤发愤之所为作也。--司马迁
【解析】这个事例,人们引用大多用来说明“逆境成才”。其实这段材料还可另立许多新意来。
【示例】(1)以“意念”“信心”立意:“这些人,用他们的意念和信心,重塑了崭新的灵魂。”
(2)以“沉稳从难而来”立意:“没有经历磨难,便无法形成沉稳的性格。”
(3)以“选择”立意:“无愧于天,无悔于心如此愁苦而悲愤的遭遇成就的是他们熠熠生辉的选择。”
(4)以抗争世之不公立意、以表达对真理的膜拜立意、以对文明的追求立意,等等。
[简评]尽力挖掘教材这个素材宝藏,充分利用教材蕴藏的写作资源,从写作的角度进入课文,带着写作中的问题去研读课文,在研读中认真思考作文的章法,在作文时思悟挖掘课文的写作素材,实现读写一体,不仅能充实读写内容,还能极大地激发写作兴趣,开拓写作思路,为创新作文打下坚实的基础,这确是一条提高综合写作能力的可行之路。

Ⅲ..教材分析与教材重组
1. 教材分析
本单元的中心话题是“Sailing the oceans”,内容涉及海洋航行、人类早期的航海技术、中国历史上最著名的航海家郑和、辛巴达的第一次冒险航行等。本单元的语言技能和语言知识都是依据“航海、发现探索未知的大陆”这个中心话题设计的。
1.1 “热身”(Warming up)部分提出了三个问题:航海家的含义;航海家与探险家的不同之处。看图对中外历史上的三个著名人物郑和、马可波罗、詹姆斯库克进行讨论,谁是航海家,谁是探险家。通过讨论使学生的言语技能和语言知识得到充分运用。
1.2 “读前”(Pre-reading)部分要求学生看图回答问题。通过这项任务的完成,可以激起学生了解早期航海情况的兴趣。

1.5 “语言学习”(Learning about Language)部分由词汇和语法两部分组成。这个部分的练习主要用来帮助学生进一步学习、巩固课文中出现的词语,加深学生对谓语的语法概念,同时也帮助学生了解库克船长的航海探险经历。
1.6 “语言运用”(Using Language)该部分包括两项内容,对学生进行听、说、读、写的综合训练。该部分内容紧密结合了本单元的功能项目“Cause and effect”。
1.7“小结”(Summing up)部分涉及三个方面:第一项是本单元关于航海的主题;第二项是学习本单元的收获;第三项是关于本单元的语言知识。通过该小结,可以让学生对本单元的学习有个整的概念。教师可以利用该材料做些拓展性和巩固性练习设计。

Present the students a map of the world and tell them “Today we are going to learn a new unit “Sailing the oceans”. Then ask them to turn to page 11 and give them a few minutes to have a discussion.
Step 4 Discussion
In pairs discuss the questions on page11.This discussion is intended for students to explore the difference between a navigator and an explorer. This difference is important to establish because it encourages students to appreciate shades of meaning in the definitions f words and also because it establishes the idea of categories.
After a few minutes, ask some pairs to speak out their result of the discussion. Then sum up and check the answers.
A navigator explores new routes across the sea.
An explorer discovers new places on land.
A navigator is somebody who finds the position and plots the course of a ship, an aircraft, a car, etc, using maps and instruments. An explorer is somebody who travels into or through a place in order to learn about it. Very often navigators are also explorers.
In history there are four famous voyage explorers in the world, including Zheng He in China, James Cook in England, Christopher Columbus in Spain and Abel Tasman in Holland.
In this unit we’ll talk about Zheng He, James Cook and some other explorers like Marco Polo and Captain Bligh.

Step4 Discussion
Discuss these situations in fours and then hold a class discussion.
1. Would you have behaved like the person in the reading and joined Captain Bligh in the open boat or stayed on the “Bounty”? You should have reasons for your choice.
2. At the time that the nineteen men in the boat sailed for Timor they did not know if they would survive or not. What do you think were the most important things they would need to take with them? Who should decide these items? Remember that the boat was already very full with people and could not hold very much more.
3. Many men who wanted to go into the boat were unable to because of the lack of space. If they stayed on the “Bounty” and were caught by the British navy, they should be killed according to the law.
4. What would the students have done to avoid being caught and punished if they had been part of the group who took over the “Bounty”? Would they have gone back to Tahiti or looked for another place to live? Which place would be the safest?
5. After the discussion let students prepare for the speaking exercise and encourage them to make notes of their ideas. Follow this format: Discuss in pairs. Make a list of the ideas.
6. Swap ideas with another pair and resolve differences. Make a new list of the ideas.
7. One member of the group should give the ideas to the class in turn. Other groups can discuss these ideas and evaluate them.
One sample dialogue:
Li Pei (LP), Du Zhou (DZ), Wen Fuqing (WF) and Liu Yongfu (LY) are discussing the journey and Captain’s Bligh’s leadership qualities.
LP: Why are you convinced that this journey shows the greatest navigational skill? I’m sure there must have been others that were as good, if not better!
DZ: Do you know of many other sea voyages of this kind?
WF: Well, there’s that journey by Shackleton from Elephant Island in the Antarctic to get help from another island with a whaling station. He wanted to rescue his men. The weather was terrible and he was in an open boat, too.
LY: How can you think that journey was more difficult? It didn’t last very long. Captain’s Bligh’s journey lasted over forty days, was very hot and they had very little food and water. It was because Captain Bligh was a great leader that they survived.
DZ: Now that I’ve heard about it I am very impressed. All those men pushed together in a very small boat, it must have been terrible for them to stay friendly. Meanwhile they were being driven mad by lack of fresh water and there was all that salt water all around them. That’s the reason I think it was the greatest sea escape.
LP: When you put it that way I suppose it was a great achievement. Captain Bligh was certainly excellent in the way he kept the men occupied and tried to take their minds off their troubles. In addition he treated everyone the same when it came to food or water. So I think you are right and it was the greatest example of navigational skill against the odds! Do you agree?
DA, WF and LY (together): Yes. We do.
Step5 Homework
Finish exercises in workbook.
After class write a report to your letter explaining to him why you think Captain Bligh should or should not receive the medal.
Sample letter
Dear Sir,
I think Captain Bligh should certainly receive a special medal for his amazing voyage across the sea to Timor. This is a journey that could not have been completed without great navigational skill. In addition Captain Bligh did not lose one man.
First, he showed his leadership qualities by sharing the food and water fairly with the men in the boat. Everyone was treated equally and this made for good feeling between the members of the boat.
Second, he kept everyone in the boat cheerful by discussing what they would do when they arrived safely. No one was allowed to think about what might happen if they did not arrive!
Third, he kept them occupied by organizing the complicated mathematical calculations needed to find their position at sea. The crew who had taken over the “Bounty” had left Captain Bligh with only a quadrant and a compass. This meant that numerous calculations were needed to find their correct position. Captain Bligh regularly and each person was given a different activity was important because it stopped the men from thinking about how little food and water there was.
So I hope you will give Captain Bligh this medal. He has shown leadership, fairness and concern for his crew and helped them return to England safely.
Yours,
(your name)

2. He had not only an outstanding ability in navigation and exploration, but also a real concern for sailors' health. He carried out compulsory dietary reforms that were copied by many other ship captains.
3. He had led three great Pacific voyages during his life.
4. In his first Pacific voyage in 1769, James Cook rounded Cape Horn, then spent six months charting New Zealand, and finally explored and claimed possession of eastern Australia.
5. In 1772, Captain Cook set sail to look for a “theorized great southern continent”. Although they could not manage to reach Antarctica owing to the ice, he predicted that if it did exist, it would have to be a wasteland.
6. In 1776, Captain cook started his third Pacific voyage, searching for the Northwest Passage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, he was killed in a dispute with Hawaiian natives and his men's attempt at the Northwest Passage was unsuccessful. However, this voyage is still recognized as especially significant in the history of the discovery of the west coast of North America.

I 忌审题不认真,张冠李戴
例1: NMET B
Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo .Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel ,the world’s first igloo hotel .Built in a small town in Lapland ,it has been attracting lots of visitors ,but soon the fun will be over .
In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s creation (作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water . “ We don’t see it as a big problem ,” he says . “ We just look forward to replacing it .”
Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition . It was so successful that he designed the present one ,which measures roughly 200 square metres . Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze , the base was removed . “ The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door , “ he says . After their stay , all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success . With no windows , nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0° C , it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (轻松的) hotel break . “ It’s great fun , “ Bergqvist explains , “ as well as a good start in survival training . “
1 Bergqvist designed and built the world’s first hotel because ______ .
A he believed people would enjoy trying something new
B he wanted to make a name for the small town
C an art exhibition was about to open
D more hotel rooms were needed
答案: A 答案的出处在文章第一段的前两句。但是很多考生选择 C ,错误答案出自于第三段的第一句。 错误的原因是典型的张冠李戴:把题干中的first hotel 错看成了first igloo .

IV忌主观臆断 有些学生不顾文章的内容,根据生活常识,个人经验猜测作者的想法。
例1: NMET 2003 C
Isaac Newton: The Last sorcerer
Michael White
From the author of Stephen Hawking: A Life in Science, comes this colourful description of the life of the world’s first modern scientist. Interesting yet based on fact. Michael White’s learned yet readable new book offers a true picture of Newton completely different from what people commonly know about him. Newton is shown as a gifted scientist with very human weaknesses who stood at the point in history where magic(魔术) ended and science began.
£18.99 Hardback 320pp Fourth Estate
ISBN 1857024168
64.In Michael White’s book, Newton is described as _________.
A.a person who did not look the same as in many pictures
B.a person who lived a colorful and meaningful life
C.a great but not perfect man
D.an old-time magician
答案:C 但很多同学选择B ,因为没有认真阅读原文而凭主观臆断,想当然地认为伟大的人物的生活就应该是丰富多彩的。
V忌只看字面意义,误解说话者或作者的真正语气。例如:
例 1 : MET90 B
4.What kind of man would you say the old man was ?
A He was silly
B he was unpleasant
C he was very proud and sure of his health
D He was very impolite to young people
这篇短文是一高寿老人在过完99岁生日时接受记者采访时与记者的一段对话。我们从第二段老人的话,“没错,99岁,这世界上我是一个敌人也没有了,他们全死了。”和最后一段的话“我不明白你怎么不能来向我祝贺百岁寿辰,你看起来身体挺棒吗?”可以体会出老人对自己健康的自豪和自信。因此选C .很多学生只看字面意义,选择了D。
例2: NMET97 A
53.It can be inferred from the text that the teacher from Guangdong province _______.
A felt proud of the gold medal winners
B wondered if the students were honest
C thought that the problems were too difficult for the students
D believed that the twenty winners could go to study at university
答案:A “许多题目是大学水平的。这些学生能算出来,真是难以想象!”这句话真切地体现出老师为学生自豪。但许多学生误选C。
VI 忌深究生词。很多学生在阅读的过程中一碰到生词就停下,非得弄清它的意思之后再继续阅读,这其实是个误区。有些生词对于理解文章的整体意义没有大的妨碍,与文后的问题也无关,所以根本不必理会.
例1:NMET2003 B 第二句:
With their shining brown eyes ,wagging tails ,and unconditional love ,dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence (自信心),according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City .
很多学生对这个长句不知所措,因为里面生词很多,包括:shining ,wagging ,unconditional ,nonjudgmental .实际上我们可以不考虑他们,而把这个长句化成只包含中心词的短句: With their eyes ,tails and love, dogs can provide the listeners for a beginning reader to gain confidence. 用他们的眼睛,尾巴和爱,狗给初读者提供了听众,以让他们获得信心。

【例题】 Passage B(NMET2003)
Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力). With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence (自信心), according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
Last November the two groups started “ Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
59. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. Children’s reading difficulties. B. Advantages of raising dogs.
C. Service in a public library. D. A special reading program.
【例题】
Magellan’s men were the first to make the trip around the world. It took them more than two years to do so by ship.
Magellan was from Portugal, but he sailed for the King of Spain. On September 20, 1519, he left Spain with fiveships and 240 men. After passing the tip of South America, they reached the Pacific Ocean, on which they sailed more than one year. Very often they could not see a piece of land for months and they suffered greatly from the lack of food and fresh water. Many of them died of hunger and diseases. They even had to live on sawdust. Finally in April 1521, Magellan got to the Philippine Islands, where he was killed. His men fled and continued their voyage across the Indian Ocean. It was with the greatest difficulty that they passed the Cape of Good Hope. By the time they returned to Spain on December 21,1521, seven out of every eight men had died.
Magellan’s voyage proved that men could sail around the
world and that our earth is but a huge ball.
Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?
A. Magellan’s deathB. Going Around The World
C. The World Is Round D. Magellan’s Voyage
