教学实施过程：
1. Have students look at some pictures of ancient Pompeii and answer the
following questions.
What do you know about Pompeii What can you see in the pictures Can you
imagine what has happened to the city/the people
Pompeii is an ancient Roman city which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption.
From the pictures we can see the city remains. Even having undergone such severe
destruction, we can see the city must have been well built before it was
destroyed by the volcanic eruption.
2. Have students read the introduction on page 25 and answer the following
question.
What is the novel The Last Days of Pompeii about
The novel imagines life in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii in the year
79, when Mount Vesuvius erupted.
3. Have students read paragraph 1 again and answer the following questions.
(1) What was the city of Pompeii like before the volcano erupted
It was a typical Roman city. Trading ships bringing imports to the city or 批　注
carrying exports overseas, along with golden pleasure boats for the rich, were
crowded together in the glassy water of the port. The boats of the fishermen
moved rapidly in all directions.
(2) What was the evidence of past eruptions of Mount Vesuvius
Its ashy rocks, now dark, now light.
4. Have students finish part A on page 26.
Pompeii was a typical Roman Empire port city. Trading ships, busy fishing
boats and pleasure boats showed a prosperous city. But the last day of Pompeii
ended with a volcanic eruption: the earth shook and buildings fell down while
people ran away from an ash cloud that was rolling towards them. Then Pompeii
was showered with ashes and burning stones. Seventeen centuries later,
Pompeii’s ruins were discovered with half-finished columns and paint on the
walls that still looked fresh. The remains of Pompeii are a reminder that human
life is short and vulnerable in the face of natural disasters.
5. Have students finish part B on page 26.
In paragraph 3, the author uses the phrases “the cries of women”, “the
earth shaking” and “shower of ashes” to let the reader hear, feel and see
what is happening in Pompeii at that moment. Similes help the reader visualize
what is happening: “the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, dark and
rapid, like a river”. In paragraph 4,verb-ing forms like “running, pressing,
pushing” create feelings of confusion because they show that these actions
are happening at the same time. Fear is created with phrases like “wife was
separated from husband, or parent from child” showing that in the darkness,
everyone in Pompeii risked being separated—no one was safe.
6. Have students finish part C on page 26.
