T:OK.Now,look at the covers of the two books written by Jules Verne.(The multimedia shows the two books.) T:Have you read them? (Some say “Yes”,while some say “No”.Teacher asks two students who say “Yes” to stand up and say something they know about the books.) S3:I have read the book “20 000 Leagues under the sea”.It mainly tells us a story in which Dr Aronnax,his servant and a Canadian whale hunter were kept as prisoners by Captain Nemo and then went on a voyage across the oceans by the Nautilus. S4:The book “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” describes what two men experienced after entering the centre of the earth through a chimney in an extinct volcano,which lies in Ireland. T:You’re wonderful!Have you read any of his books besides these two books?What are they about? S5:I have heard of his book “Around the World in 80 Days”,but I haven’t read it.So I don’t know what it is about. T:It doesn’t matter.If you’re interested in it,you can go to the library or surf the Internet to read it after class.Jules Verne lived between 1828 and 1905,so there were many scientific facts that he didn’t know or guess.Do you know the following facts?Now,let’s have a quiz to see if you know any better.
