Knowledge Presentation (10 minutes) Vocabulary Teaching: Present new words and phrases related to archaeology on the PPT, such as "archaeologist", "dig", "ruins", "pottery", "preserve", etc. Explain their meanings and pronunciations, and let students read after the teacher several times. Then do a quick vocabulary quiz, for example, show the pictures of archaeological tools or artifacts and ask students to say out the corresponding words. Prediction: Let students look at the title "The Archaeologist: History's Detective" and the pictures in the textbook. Then ask them to predict what the passage might be about.

Practice (15 minutes) Skimming: Let students read the passage quickly and answer the question "What is the main idea of the passage " Then ask several students to share their answers. Scanning: Ask students to read the passage again carefully and find the answers to some detailed questions, such as "How do archaeologists find sites ", "What tools do they use in excavation ", "What do they do after finding artifacts " Divide the students into groups of four to discuss and complete a table about the archaeological work process. Analysis: Analyze some long and difficult sentences in the passage with the students, for example, "Archaeologists use a variety of methods, from satellite images to special tools, to find sites that might contain artifacts from the past." Explain the sentence structure and key expressions, and let students understand how to express complex ideas in English.
