It is about a story how Keesh, from the poorest igloo in the village, rose to power and became the leader of his people. Keesh was a thirteen-year-old boy, living on the edge of the North pole a long time ago. He and his mother were treated unfairly in the village after his father Bok died of a fight with a giant polar bear during a famine. He and his mother were not given enough meat to eat, so he decided to go hunting by himself. All the villagers laughed at him because they didn’t think a kid could kill a bear. After Keesh succeeded in killing a bear, they were so shocked that they believed Keesh used magic. They asked two young hunters to follow Keesh when he went hunting, and then they didn’t insist their initial thought any longer. However, they still didn’t know how it was that Keesh killed a bear until he revealed the secret. Everyone was amazed at Keesh’s intelligence and selflessness. Keesh became the new chief in the village in the end.

This novel agrees with the consistent writing style of Jack London, whom the students are unfamiliar with. Besides, the novel is really long for them to read. Fortunately, it is not difficult to understand. So the first 2 periods are designed to prepare the students for their presentation and analyses in the third period. Period 1 will make up the section of Searching for the creation background of the novel and the information of the author Jack London, where the students acquire the fundamental knowledge by surfing the Internet. In Period 2, the students read the novel carefully to get the hang of the basic elements of the story, such as characters, the plot and the setting. Furthermore, they learn how to adapt a novel for a movie and act it out.

By coincidence, the students are studying foreign novels in their Chinese lessons when they read the story. So, they don’t have great difficulty in appreciating the novel. What’s more, regarded as father of the proletariat literature of America, Jack London plays an irreplaceable part in the history of American literature. Having a good acquaintance with him and his works will have a great impact on the students’ intercultural competence in the future. The story different from our native culture will challenge our students to read and be a good opportunity for them to enhance the reading ability.
