T quotes a description of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, written by Pliny the Younger, to introduce the novel. 2. T encourages Ss to share their knowledge of the Roman Empire, Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius with their classmates. The Roman Empire: Roman Empire was established in 27 BCE following the ending of the Roman Republic and continuing to the final demise of the Empire of the West in the 5th century CE. The influence of the Roman Empire was profound in shaping all aspects of society for centuries. Its trade with Asia via the Silk Road established cross-cultural exchanges that continue to today. Pompeii: Pompeii, an ancient Roman city in southwestern Italy, on the Bay of Naples, was buried beneath volcanic ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in the year 79. It disappeared as if the city had never existed until its rediscovery in 1748. Mount Vesuvius: When a volcano is erupting, red-hot liquid rock called lava spews from the top; ash and poison gases are released. Mount Vesuvius is an active volcano that rises above the Bay of Naples on the plain of Campania in southern Italy. The eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 was destructive, burying the city of Pompeii. Classification of volcanoes: There are a variety of ways to classify volcanoes. One of the simplest ways to classify volcanoes is by their recent eruptive history and potential for future eruptions. * Active volcanoes: volcanoes that have erupted in recent history or are showing signs of activity * Dormant volcanoes: volcanoes that are currently quiet but could erupt * Extinct volcanoes: volcanoes that erupted thousands of years ago but are not expected to erupt again 【设计意图：教师引用历史见证者Pliny the Younger对庞贝火山爆发的描述，让学生从情感上快速融入本课的主题语境；鼓励学生分享有关罗马帝国、庞贝古城以及维苏威火山的背景知识，调动学生已有的知识经验；教师补充相关历史、地理和文化方面的知识，实现学生主题词汇的扩大、视野的拓展和知识的丰富。】 Step 3 Understanding the plot 1.
