II. Warming up
Now, I'll ask you some questions.
The first question is: How many countries and regions are there in the world?
(About two hundred.)
T: How many languages are there in the world?
(It's hard to say. I learned from a magazine that there were more than three thousand. Perhaps more than five thousand)
It was thought that there were more than three thousand before. But it is found in recent years that there are more than five thousand languages in the world. Only thirteen languages are used by above 55 million people. My next question is: How many languages are used as the working languages of the United Nations?
: They are five. French, Russian, Spanish. English and Chinese.
In this unit, we'll talk about English.
Read the text on this Page and have a discussion with your partner. Discuss the questions in the text: What is it that Joe can't find in the bathroom? Why can't he find it? Who can tell us the answer question? :It is the toilet. Why can't he find it? Perhaps when Joe says“ bathroom he means a place where there is But in Nancy's eyes, it is where people can only have a bath. Am I right? As we know, Joe is an American, so he speaks American English. While Nancy is English, he speaks British English. That's to say, there are some slight differences between British English and American English. We'll discuss this further in the fourth period. You can read it after class to see how much you can under- stand it.
III. Listening :
Let's do listening. Please turn to Page9. Look at the picture and read the requirement. Do you know what you should do you listen to the tape? : Yes. I'll play the tape twice.

Now let's complete
Harry asked Mr Smith to spell that name. He also asked her to repeat the address. Mr Smith told buy her some Harry not to forget to buy ketchup on her way
We've just acted out two dialogues. Now make another dialogue using the situation similiar to the one above. I'll ask some students to act it out in three minutes. Three students a group. Let's begin.

Step I Greetings and Revision
Greet the whole class as usual.
The teacher checks the students' home-
work--let some students say something
about English in their own words. If they
have some difficulty. Part 2 in Post-read-
ing on Page 11 may give them some help. ~F Step I] ~ Word Study
T:Please turn to Page 11. Let's do Word Study. Match the words and phrase on the left with their meanings on the right. Do it with your partner. In a few minutes, we'll check the answers. (A few minutes later. )Now I'll ask SA and Se to give their answers. SA, read the meaning on the right. One item at a time. S~,give the right word or phrase for each item. Are you clear?
Step II Grammar
(Teacher says to SA:Stand up. Open the door. Look outside. Now close the door. Teacher says to SB: Sit down, please. Could you lend me your pen? Can you show me your book?) T: What did I say to SA?
Ss:Stand up./Open the door./Now close the door.
T: What did I say to Se?
Look out
Could you lend me your pen?
Can you show me your book?
T: What was the difference between what I said to Student A and what I said to Student B? S.. You told/ordered Student A to stand up/open the door/look outside/close the door. (They may say these in Chinese. )
T: What about Student B? What did I say?
S: You asked Student B to sit down/lend
you his (her) pen/show you his (her)
book.
T.. You are right. I told/ordered Student
A to stand up etc. I asked Student B to
lend me his(her) pen, etc. In fact, what
I said to Student A is an order. What I
said to Student B is a request. Its pat-
terns are like this:
Orders and Re- quests: Direct speech: (Orders) Do..., please. ? /Will you. Would you... ? Indirect speech .. (Orders) dered sb. else to do sth. sb. told/ordered sb. else not to do sth. (Requests) :sb. asked sb. else to do sth. sb. asked sb. else not to do sth. (Write them on the blackboard. ) OK. Now I'm going to show you some sentences. If it's an order, write “Order' in your exercise books. If it's a request, write” Request“. (Show the following sentences on screen. )
Make sure the door is open. Can you lend me ten yuan? Could you help me with my work, please? Don't play games in the classroom. Will you close the window, please? No smoking. (Ask some students to answer which sentences are orders, which are re- quests. ) Suggested answers Orders: 1,4,6 Requests: 2,3,5 T: From these sentences, we can draw such conclusions. If a sentence is an order, it often uses an imperative, namely, ”sh. told/ordered sh. else to do sth. “If a sentence is a request, it often uses a question form or an imperative, but very politely, namely, ”sb. asked sb. else to do sth. “But we should pay more attention to the negative construction. Its reported orders and requests should be like these. ”sh. told/ordered sb. else not to do sth.“ ”sb. asked sb. else not to do sth. '
Now open your books. Turn to Page 11. Look at Part 2 in Language Study
Grammar. In Part 1 in Gram- mar, which sentences are orders? Sc: Sentences 2,3 and 6 are orders
T: Which sentences are requests?
SD :Sentences 1,4 and 5 are requests.
T: Now turn to Page 12. Look at Part 2.

three orders, under them there are three requests. First we are going to practise the orders. I can give you an example. Look at the six orders. In Direct Speech, I can say “Watch the teacher carefully. Don't come into the lab without a teacher. ”In reported order. I can say“ She told us to watch the
teacher carefully. She told us not to come into the lab without a teacher.”
After you practise the orders, you may practise the requests. Are you clear?

Teaching Aids 1. a recorder 2. a projector and some slides Teaching Procedures:
Step I Greetings and Revision
Greet the whole class as usual.
T: In this period, I'm going to check your homework first. Then we'll learn a text: American English and British English. We'll do some exercises about it as well. At last, we'll go over Check2 point of this unit. Now take out your exercise-books, please,. (The teacher checks homework. )
(The teacher and the students go over the new words and expressions of this period. The teacher gives explanations when necessary. )
Step ]I. Fast Reading
:English is a young language. It grew from other languages, such as German and French. People began to write it down only six hundred years ago. Now it is spoken by people all over the world. From the last period we know there are more than 42 countries where the majority of people speak English. However English is not exactly the same in different countries. American people speak English, but it is a bit different from British English. Today, we are going to read about these differences. Please turn to Page 12. Read the text fast and find the answers to the questions on the screen. Do it as fast as possible and write your answers on a piece of pa- per. I'll collect the first five pieces. (The teacher shows the screen. ) Answer the following questions: 1. What is American English for “think” ? What did Noah Webster do make American English from British English?
T: Who will give us the first answer?
SA :I'll try. In American English “I guess” is used instead of “I think”.
T: Quite right. What is the second?
SB: He changed the spelling of many words.
Step III. Reading
T: Now read the text again. Read it carefully and discuss the following questions on the screen with your partner. Write your answers on a piece of paper. In a few minutes, I'll ask some pairs to give us the answers. (The teacher shows the screen. Answer the following questions..
1. When did America become an independent country?
2. Where did the word“ fall” (meaning: “autumn”)first come from?
3. Can you give some examples to show spelling differences between American and British English?
4. Is there any difference in written English in the two countries?
5. What differences are there in spoken English in the two countries?
6. Do you think that people from Britain and America can understand each! other?
7. Why do you think so?
8. How did the differences between British and American English come about?
9. Which do you prefer, American English or British English? Why?
(The teacher goes among the students, joins in the students' discussion and answers the students' questions. ) (A few minutes later. ) T: Have you finished? (Ss: Yes. ) Give us your answers, please. One student, one
question, Volunteers !
1. In 1776, America became an independent country.
2. The word “fall” first came from England.
3. Yes, I can. For example, the words “colour, centre and travelled' in British English are spelt” color, center and traveled 'in American English.
4. Yes, In written English there are some spelling differences between British English and American English. And in some cases, different words are used for the same thing.
5. Some words are pronounced differently in the two countries. For example, Americans say dance(daens], and in southern England they say. In America they pronounce not[-nat~; in southern England they say[-not~,and son on.
6. Yes. Though there are many spelling differences, people from the two countries don't have much difficulty in understanding each other because written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America.
7. There is no quick answer to this question. When people from England travelled to other countries, they took the English language with them. At first, the language stayed the same as the language used in England, but slowly the language began to change from one part of the world to another. At last the English language became two variants --British English and American English.
8. I prefer American English to British English because American English is easier to understand./I prefer British English to American English because British English sounds more beautiful.
Now look at the screen again. I'll explain some words and expressions of the text so that you can use them freely. Please listen to me carefully.
Notes to the text:
1. come about--happen, take place
e. g. When John woke up, he was in the hospital, but he didn't know how that had come about.
2.stay vi. --keep, remain
e. g. The door stayed open all
3. end up with--finish with
e. g. The party ended up singing of Liu Huan.

Computers are just one kind of IT. What else do you know is part of IT? (TV, radio, CD-ROM, DVD, books……) Step3. Listening (SB) 1. Pre-listening: What are the changes brought by different forms of IT ? What are the advantages and disadvantages of them ? 2. While-listening: Go through the chart and make sure the students look at the chart before they listen to the tape. (This is to sharpen their attention and listen for the answers. This will also help them get the gist of the text.) Then Listen to the tape and finish filling in the chart. (If necessary, play the tape for several times.) Say: After listening to their talk, we know all kinds of IT have both disadvantages and advantages.Let’s check the answers together. Type of IT Advantages Disadvantages TV You can both listen and watch. You cannot write to friends. Web You can find information. It is very expensive. Radio You can listen to English. You cannot watch a film. Book You can get information. Sometimes it is out of date. 3. Post-listening: 1) (pair work): decide which type of IT is best for you to use right now. Make your choice and give your reasons by using the following expression_r_rs. I think that…. In my opinion, …. I believe that…. I agree because…. I disagree because…. I’ve decided that…. 2) (group work): Discussion : Computers are useful and have brought us lots of good things, but they also cause bad effects. What attitude should we have towards the computer? (Make good use of it but never get trapped by it.) Step4. Speaking 1. Pre-speaking Say: From what we have learn, we should admit that computers and the web have a great influence on the school education as well as people’s life. It has come into people’s everyday life and many families hold computers in their homes. Now there is a task for you. 2. While-speaking 1) Situation: You have been asked by your parents to help choose computers for your home. You and your friend have looked at several computers. Talk about the special things each computer can do. Make a decision about which kind of computer to buy and explain why. Information input: Show students some pictures of different computers (desktop computer & laptop computer & …) Language input: Useful expression_r_rs (Repeat it to strengthen students’ ability of use it.) Supporting an opinion Challenging an opinion I think that … , because … Perhaps, but what if / about …? First, … Have you thought about …? One reason is that … What makes you think that …? I think it is better because… I don’t like it because…. (Pair work )Use the expression_r_rs to support your opinion or challenging other’s opinions. 2) Oral report: (individual work ) Do an oral report to your father and start your report like this: I looked at many different computers. The one I have chosen is the PEP personal computer. One of the main reasons is that it is suitable for homes. I found that… 3. Post-speaking Conclusion―What useful expression_r_r do we use to make a decision and reason? (In this way, they can review and use the words and phrases again.) Step5.

I. Brief Statements Based on the Unit
The activities of this unit, including Warming-up, Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, center on the subject-news and the media, which are connected with our life closely. It provides the students an opportunity to learn the language in using it.
By talking about news and the media, the students get more knowledge about them-not only know about the important parts they play in learning about the world, but also the ways they are written and made. The students must be very interested in this subject. This way, they can learn the language points easily and freely. They will not only learn some useful words and phrases about news and the media, but also learn to express opinions.
Besides, the study of the Grammar-the Past Participle can help the students use the language more exactly. By finishing each task provided in the textbook and the workbook, the students' skills to use language can be well developed.
Ⅱ. Teaching Goals
1. Talk about news and the media.
2. Practise expressing opinions.
3. Learn about the Past Participle (1): used as Attribute and Predicative.
4. Write a comparison paragraph.
Ⅲ. Teaching Time: Four periods
IV. Background Information
1. RADIO
In ancient times the only way that men could send messages from village to village was on foot. When men learned to use the horse, communication became much quicker. However, compared to the modern world communication was still quite slow. Many parts of the world had no knowledge of events in other places. Later, the post was introduced and horse riders carried letters. This meant that communication was further improved. Horses drawn coaches could move people from town to town in quite a comfortable way. At the beginning of the last century the steam train was invented and for the first time really fast communication became possible. Not only could letters be sent easily from one part of a country to another, but travel was made easy, too. At about the same time, steam ships helped communication between countries.
The invention of the telegraph in the middle of the last century further increased the speed at which messages could be sent. In this system electrical signals, in code, are sent along metal wires. These signals travel so fast that they could go nearly eight times round the world in one second. A special device is needed to send the code. At the other end another device is used in order to receive the code. By this method messages can be sent over distances of several hundred kilometres. With the invention of the telephone the human voice could be sent over long distances. Because of this the telephone system replaced the telegraph for quick communication over long distances. The telegraph is still used, however, by newspapers in order to send news and for other purposes too.
At the beginning of this century radio was invented and in a few years communication was again improved. The main difference between radio and telephone is that radio uses no electrical signals which travel long distances along wires. Instead invisible waves, moving at the same speed as electrical signals, are used. A few years ago there were not many radio stations in the world. Today there are many hundreds of radio stations broadcasting in different languages and in all countries. The invisible radio waves can easily travel from one country to another. This means that listeners in one country can listen to programmes broadcast from another country. In this way information travels from country to country. Radio is often used by policemen to communicate with one another. In addition, police forces in one country can communicate with those in other countries in order to catch criminals. Ships at sea use radio so that they know exactly where they are. Aeroplanes use radio for the same reason and this makes it easier for them to find their way from place to place.
In the modern world there are many methods of communication. As well as radio there is television, for example. This enables information in the form of a picture to be broadcast from one place to another. Radio is often used as part of a telegraph system where distances are very large. Of the many modern methods of communication, radio probably remains the most important.
2. How the Program Is Broadcast?
We turn on the radio and a program comes to us from a broadcasting station miles and miles away. We know that words and music themselves haven’t traveled all that distance through space, but something certainly is bringing the program from the station. What is this silent carrier?
The answer is radio waves. We can not see radio waves or feel them or even hear them. In fact, nobody knows exactly what they are. But we do know that they are made by electricity, and we have learned how to use them.
At the broadcasting station people talk or sing, instruments (乐器) play, doors slam(砰) ,and all of these make sound waves. The sound waves reach the microphone, and here they are changed into electricity. Then from a tall tower called the broadcasting aerial (天线) ,electricity sends radio waves. The waves travel in every direction, and some of them reach our radio aerial. Now a wonderful thing happens. The radio waves start an electricity current (电流) in our aerial like the one that was first made in the broadcasting station. Finally, the loudspeaker in our set changes electricity into sound, and we hear the program.

Teaching Procedures:
Step I Greetings and Lead-in
T: Good morning/afternoon, class.
Ss: Good morning/afternoon, Miss/ Mr. X.
T: Sit down, please. Being the members of the society, we all cares for/about what happens around us or even what happens at home and abroad. How can you do so?
Ss: By reading newspapers and magazines, watching TV programmes, listening to the radio.
T: Are there any other ways? Think it over.
Ss: By a website.
T: Yes. It’s also a way to learn about the world. What do you call these things which help us know about to the world?
Ss:新闻媒体
T: In English, we call it news media. Today we'll begin to learn Unit 2 News media (Bb: Unit 2 News media). First, let's learn the new words in this period. Look at the screen.
(Teacher first asks some students to read the words on the screen. Correct the Ss' mistakes in prononciation. Then teacher gives brief explanations. At last, let the Ss read and remember them for a while.)
Step Ⅱ Warming up
T: Well, now please open your books at Page 9. Warming up first. Look at each of the pictures and tell me which kind of news media it shows?
Ss: The first picture shows a website; the second one shows radio; the third one shows TV programmes; the fourth one shows magazines; the fifth one shows newspapers.
T: Quite right! Now, please work in groups of four and discuss the five questions below the pictures. A few minutes later, I’ll cotleet your answers. OK?
Ss: OK.
T: You can begin now.
(A few minutes later. )
T: Are you ready now?
Ss: Yes.
T: Which group would like to talk about the first question? Choose one member of your group to answer the question.
S1: I think TV is the most reliable among the news media. TV consists of a series of lively consecutive pictures. For the people who want to know what is exactly happening, a picture responds better to offer the truth of a fact than the mere words upon a page. It can offer an unique function of seemingly on-the-spot feeling, which is not available to the other media.
T: The second question?
S2. I think TV programmes are easy for most people to understand. Radio, can only be heard and sometimes can’t be picked up clearly. Newspapers and magazines are only useful for people who can read. Websites have many different pages, but you should be careful to read some of the pages. who can read. Website have many different pages, but you should be careful to read some of the pages.
T: The third question?
S3 : I will check other sources.
T: The fourth question?
S4: Every morning, the newspaper chief editor and the journalists discuss the main events of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events. They usually do some interviews and then check the information. They must work very fast. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Then the editors read the stories and make any necessary changes and choose a good title for each story. At last, they print them quickly and deliver them. Making a magazine is more or less the same as making a newspaper. But the articles in a magazine are more like stories, which are written by all kinds of writers. Magazines are not published as quickly as newspapers.
T: The last question?
Ss: News broadcast, newspaper, magazine, radio programme, website, report, reporter, editor, interview, write articles…
Step Ⅲ Listening
T: Next, let's come to the Listening. We are going to listen to two parts of conversations. The first part is an interview; the second part is a dialogue. Now, look at Exercise 1: Listen carefully to what is said and tick the information you hear in each part. If necessary, I'll play it twice. (Teacher begins to play the tape, and checks the answers after listening. Then ask the students to finish the rest of the tasks. )
T: OK. Now, please listen to each part once again and then work in pairs to talk about the questions in Exercises 2,3,4 and 5. Are you clear?
Ss: Yes.
(Teacher allows them enough time to talk about the questions. Then ask some students to say their answers.)
Step IV Speaking
T: Well, now it's time for us to be the editors of a newspaper. Here is a list of ten things that happened today. Look at the screen. (Teacher shows the screen and read through the list to the whole class.)
200 people died in an earthquake in Turkey.
China beat Brazil 5-1 in football.
France elected a new President.
Three children from your city were killed.
Someone robbed a bank in Shanghai.
Food prices are going up.
A house in your town burned down. Nobody was injured.
2 000 people in your city were happy today and moved into new buildings.
A Chinese scientist has invented a new car engine that does not pollute the air.
There is a rumour that a large company wants to build a factory in your town:
(Bb :go up, burn down)
T: Now, you've known the ten things, but you only need to report five of them. So, first decide which events you are going to put in your newspaper. Then give reasons for your choices and compare with your classmates. Work in groups of four or five. And the following expressions on the screen can help you with your dialogue. After a while, I'll ask some of you to act out your dialogue.
(Teacher shows the screen. )
What do you think of'…?
I would rather choose.…
What's your opinion?
I don't think we should choose…
Why do you choose…
Maybe it would be better to choose…
Perhaps… is more important.
Our readers want to know about….
(Teacher goes around the Ss and checks their work. If necessary, teacher may join in them. ) Sample dialogue:
A: Hello! How is everything going? Have you finished your work?
B: I'm very busy today. I've chosen five events among ten things that happened today to report in our newspaper. But I'm not sure whether I made the best choices. I need your advice.
C: Tell us more about your choices.
B: The first event I chose is “France elected a new President”. It is an important event these days. I think it may have a great effect on international affairs. The second is “There is a rumour that a large company wants to build a factory in our town.” What is your opinion?
A: I agree with your first choice, but why do you choose the second one? We should report something true to our readers, not rumours. Maybe it would be better to choose “A Chinese scientist has invented a new car engine that does not pollute the air.” It shows our country's science advancement.
B: Good idea. Then I'd rather choose "2 000 people in our city were happy today and moved into new buildings. “ and” China beat Brazil 5-1 in football. “They are both exciting news. They also reflect the improvement of people's life and the achievement in sports.
D: I think you made a good choice. What about the fifth one? Have you decided yet?
B: I think two events are suitable. I really don't know which is more important. It is hard to choose. They are “Food prices are going up. “ and ”200 people died in an earthquake in Turkey.”
D: Perhaps the former is more important. Our readers want to know more about their life. And this thing is related to everybody's life.
B: It sound reasonable. Let's think them over. Thank you for your advice.
Step V Summary and Homework
T: Up to now, we've talked a lot about news media. By listening and speaking, we've become more familiar with news media. At the same time, we've learnt some useful words and phrases. You should remember them and practise using them freely and exactly. After class, please collect more information about news media and talk about them with your classmates. Besides, don't forget to preview the contents of the next period. So much for today. See you tomorrow V
Ss: See you tomorrow.

篇4:第九册数学全册教案2
西师版第九册数学全册教案2
第二单元:图形的平移、旋转与对称 教师:先看这样一些现象。(课件出示生活中的一些平移现象)知道这是一些什么现象吗? 引导学生说出:这是生活中的一些平移现象。 教师:在三年级时我们就观察过一些生活中的平移现象,你能用手做一做平移吗? 学生用手做平移。 教师:很好,原来我们都是研究生活中的平移现象,今天我们要从数学的角度来深入研究图形的平移。(板书课题) 二、 教学新课 1.教学例1 ①研究长方形的平移 教师:我们以长方形为例,(课件出示长方形和方格图)仔细看看长方形是怎样平移的?(课件演示长方形从位置①平移到位置②)看清楚了吗?再看一遍。(课件放慢速度再演示一遍) 引导学生说出:长方形从位置①平移到了位置②。 教师:长方形平移了多少格呢?请先用学具在方格纸上移一移。 学生操作学具后讨论。估计有的学生会说移动了6格,有的会说8格。 教师:说一说你是怎样观察长方形移动格数的? 请持两种意见的学生各一个到视频展示台上边展示边介绍,说6格的是两个长方形间相隔6格,说8格的是从位置①的某个点到位置②相应点相隔8格。 教师:你们觉得谁的意见对呢? 如果学生能说出平移是点到点的移动,则加以肯定;如果学生思考有困难,则可以用课件再演示一遍。演示时先在位置①的长方形上找一个点A闪烁,让学生直观地观察这个闪烁的点到A′平移了多少格,通过演示统一学生的意见。 教师:你们觉得是平移了6格还是平移了8格呢? 学生:8格。 教师:从中你知道什么? 引导学生说出:我知道平移的距离是平移前的点到平移后相应点的距离。 教师:现在谁能完整地说说长方形是怎样从位置①平移到位置②的? 引导学生说出:长方形从位置①向右平移8格到位置②。②研究的平移 教师:通过刚才的研究我们知道了研究平移现象时要关注点到点的距离。现在我们回到开始上课时看的图片中,(课件出示例2)这也是一个平移现象,把它和刚才的长方形的平移相比,你能发现它们之间有什么相同和不同吗? (学生讨论后回答,估计会回答:相同的是和长方形都在平移而且都是点到点之间的平移;不同的是长方形是沿水平方向平移而是沿竖直方向平移) 教师:在方格纸上竖直平移了多少格呢? (如果学生能直接看出来,教师给予表扬;如果学生不能直接看出,仍可以在方格纸上用学具操作后再说出平移了5格) 教师:现在你又能说说是怎样从位置③平移到位置④的? 学生有了前面的经验能说完整:是从位置③向下平移5格到位置④的。 教师:从上面的研究中你知道我们研究平移时需要注意哪些问题? (学生讨论后回答:要注意图形平移的方向和平移的距离) 教师:很好!我们观察平移现象时就应该注意观察图形的平移方向和平移距离。(板书:方向距离) ③练习 教师指导学生合作完成练习六第1(1)题,完成后集体订正。 2.教学例2 教师:同学们学得不错,(课件出示如下图情景)你能再说一说三角形怎样从位置①平移到位置②吗? 学生:三角形从位置①向左平移5格到位置②。 教师:不错,(课件出示位置③的三角形)三角形怎样才能从位置①平移到位置③呢?小组讨论,想一想你能发现什么? 学生用三角形在方格纸上平移,操作完以后抽学生展示汇报,汇报的结果可能有两种: 学生1:三角形先向左平移5格,再向上平移4格到位置③。 学生2:三角形先向上平移4格,再向左平移5格到位置③。 教师:同学们有这么多种方法,你们赞成哪一种呢? 学生:两种方法都可以。 教师:我们就以第1种方法来研究(课件演示三角形从位置①平移到位置②再到位置③的过程)请同学们思考一下,这次我们研究的平移和前面我们研究的平移有什么不同呢? 引导学生发现:前面我们研究的是1次平移,现在我们研究的是2次平移。 教师:对,你能介绍一下三角形是怎样从位置①平移到位置③的吗?注意两次平移都要介绍清楚。请先在小组内交流一下。 学生讨论后汇报。 教师:把同学们的说法综合起来,我们可以像这样介绍:(课件出示)三角形先由位置①向平移格,到位置②;再由位置②向平移格,到位置③。 学生一起介绍一遍。 教师:你能用这种方法来介绍刚才同学们汇报的第2种方法吗? 学生:能。(抽学生介绍) 教师:同学们在介绍的时候把两次平移有顺序地介绍清楚了。你觉得在介绍两次平移时要注意什么呢? 引导学生说出:要有顺序地介绍,还要注意把两次平移的方向和距离都介绍清楚。 三、 巩固练习 学生独立完成练习六第1(2)(3)题,在完成第2题后,抽学生的作业在视频展示台上展示,集体订正。 四、 课堂小结 教师:这节课你学到了什么?有哪些收获?在平移时要注意哪些问题? 学生回答略。 五、拓展延伸 多媒体课件上展示沿一个方向平移制成的各种花边。 教师:这些花边漂亮吗? 学生:漂亮。 教师:想不想自己制作一个这样的花边呢? 学生:想。 教师:请同学们在桌上挑一个老师给你准备好的你喜欢的图案,用这个基本的图案在作业纸上画出美丽的花边来。你能画出来吗? 学生:能! 教师:你准备怎样画呢?能说说在画花边时要注意些什么吗? 引导学生说出用这个基本图案在作业纸上平移,就可以画出花边。但是在平移时,要注意图案移动的方向和距离,特别是距离要相等,这样设计出来的花边才好看。学生回答后,指导学生按自己的想法设计花边,然后抽几个画得好的作业,在视频展示台上展示出来。 教师:同学们的花边设计得真漂亮,你能用这些花边来装饰你的墙报、装饰你的家吗?大家课后可以试试看。 【简评:本节课主要有这样几个特点:一是每道题教学的侧重点都不同,例1中的第1个小题从数学的角度研究平移现象,重点让学生理解平移距离是点到点的距离;而第2个小题重点让学生比较水平平移和竖直平移的相同点和不同点,使学生了解平移与方向和距离有关。这样从不同的侧重点设计教学,使学生感到每个小题都有新意,能自始至终地对学习保持浓厚的兴趣;二是注意了新旧知识的联系,依靠学生对原有平移现象的了解来教学新知识;三是教学内容紧密贴近学生的生活实际,用设计花边的活动让学生体会所学知识的应用价值,这样有利于激发学生学习的兴趣,使学生从中获得价值体验,坚定学生学好数学的信心】(本案例由郑继提供) 图形的平移(二) 【教学内容】 教科书第25,26页例3、例4及相关练习。 【教学目标】 1.通过观察、操作画出两次平移后的图形。并能运用两次平移进行简单的图形变换。 2.培养学生的操作能力和思维能力,发展学生的空间观念。 3.在学习过程中激发学生的学习兴趣,培养学生的成功体验。 【教具、学具准备】 教师准备视频展示台、多媒体课件,学生准备方格纸、平行四边形、例4的学具。 【教学过程】 一、复习引入 教师:上节课我们学习了平移,我来考考大家。(课件出示右图)平行四边形是怎样从位置①平移到位置③的? 引导学生说出:平行四边形从位置①先向下平移4格到位置②,再向右平移7格到位置③。 教师:你是从哪些方面来清楚地描述平行四边形的平移的? 引导学生说出:关键是要说清楚图形平移的方向和距离。 在此基础上继续追问:怎样观察平行四边形平移的距离? 学生要明白图形平移的距离是图形上的点到平移后的相应点之间的距离。 教师:看来上节课同学们学得不错。今天我们要在上节课的基础上继续研究图形的平移。(板书课题) 二、教学新课 教师:通过上节课的学习,同学们都知道研究平移要从方向和距离这两方面来研究。(在视频展示台上出示同课件上一样的'平行四边形和方格图)你能把这个平行四边形先向右平移5格,再向下平移4格吗? 学生先用自己的学具操作,再抽学生到视频展示台上展示。抽到的学生有可能是正确的,也有可能是错误的,请其他学生来检查。检查时要引导学生从方向和距离两方面进行,更重要的是检查距离时是点到点的距离。 教师:(把平行四边形原来的位置画出来,再拿走)如果我们把平行四边形拿走,你能在这个方格纸上画出它先向右平移5格,再向下平移4格的图形吗? 学生:能。 教师:你准备怎样找出它两次平移后的图形呢? 学生讨论后汇报。不同的学生讨论出的方法不一样,教师要根据学生的汇报引导学生总结出两方面的内容:一是怎样找到图形平移后的位置,二是怎样使画出的图形和原来的图形一样。本案例以下面的学生汇报为例: 学生:我看着方格在心里想向右平移5格会到哪儿?然后继续想再向下平移4格会到哪儿?最后把它画下来。 教师:你们对他的方法有什么要问或要补充的吗? 教师引导学生质疑:怎样找出5格的位置和4格的位置?并引导学生找到解决的办法:先在平行四边形上确定一个点,然后再根据点到点的距离看通过两次平移后这个图形会到哪儿?做上记号。 学生讨论后,教师用多媒体课件演示。 教师:找到点不一定就能画出和原来的图形一样的图形,你有什么好方法来解决这个问题呢? 引导学生总结出:确定点后还要看原来图形中的每条线段的长度各是多少格? 教师:谁能根据我们刚才说的方法画出平行四边形两次平移后的图形呢? 抽一学生在视频展示台上画,其余的在自己的方格上画。学生画好后,教师质疑:按照这样的方法来画是否正确呢?请一个学生用平行四边形来按要求移一移、验篇5:《文化生活》全册单元复习提纲教案

第一单元 文化与生活 本单元主要讲文化的内涵(本质、形式、特点)、影响(作用) 知识要点分析 1、内涵(本质、形式、特点) (1)内涵:“文化”是相对于经济、政治而言的人类全部精神活动及其产品。其中,既包括世界观、人生观、价值观等具有意识形态性质的部分,又包括自然科学和技术、语言和文字等非意识形态的部分。 (2)本质:文化是一种精神现象 (3)形式:思想、理论、信念、信仰、道德、教育、科学、文学、艺术等。 (4)特点:①文化是人类社会特有的现象:文化是由人所创造、为人所特有的,纯粹“自然”的东西不能称为文化,有了人类社会才有文化,文化是人们社会实践的产物。 ② 每个人所具有的文化素养不是天生的,也不是在后天自发形成的。文化素养的形成,离不开生活、实践和教育。 ③人们的精神活动离不开物质活动;社会文化和精神产品离不开物质载体。 2、影响(对社会、对个人) A 对社会的影响(作用): 文化作为一种精神力量,能够在人们认识世界、改造世界的过程中转化为物质力量,对社会发展产生深刻的影响。先进的、健康的文化对社会的发展产生巨大的促进作用;反动的、腐朽没落的文化则对社会的发展起着重大的阻碍作用。 (1) 文化对政治具有反作用,给予政治以重大影响。(文化与经济相互交融) (2) 文化对经济具有反作用,给予经济以重大影响。(文化与政治相互交融 (3) 文化对综合国力的影响:当今世界,各国之间综合国力竞争日趋激烈。文化在综合国力竞争中的地位和作用越来越突出。文化的力量,深深熔铸在民族的生命力、创造力和凝聚力之中,成为综合国力的重要标志。 B对个人的影响(作用) (1)影响方式:来自于特定的文化环境,来自于各种形式的文化活动 (2)影响内容:文化影响人们的交往行为和交往方式。文化影响人们的实践活动、认识活动和思维方式 (3)影响特点:①潜移默化的影响:参加健康向上的文化活动,能够使人得到精神上的愉悦、情操上的陶冶,提高人的审美水平、道德素养。这些文化影响既通过潜移默化的方式发生,又是人们自觉学习、主动感悟文化熏陶的结果。因此,要积极参加健康向上的文化活动。 ②深远持久的影响:文化对人的交往方式、思维方式、生活方式的影响是深远持久的。世界观、人生观、价值观对人的综合素质和终身发展产生深远而持久的影响。 (4)影响的双重性:落后的、腐朽的文化腐蚀人的精神世界,对个人发展起阻碍作用; 优秀文化塑造人生:①优秀文化能丰富人的精神世界:人创造了文化,文化也在塑造着人。优秀文化能够丰富人的精神世界。积极参加健康有益的文化活动,不断丰富自身的精神世界,是培养健全人格的重要途径。 ②优秀文化能增强人的精神力量:优秀文化作品,总能以其特有的感染力和感召力,使人深受震撼、力量倍增,成为照亮人们心灵的火炬、引领人们前进的旗帜。而由此产生的精神力量,往往历久不衰,激励人们不断创造美好幸福的生活。 ③优秀文化能促进人的全面发展:人的全面发展,表现在人的思想道德素质、科学文化素质和健康素质等符方面得到全面提高。优秀文化为人的健康成长提供不可缺少的精神食 第二单元 文化传承与创新复习要点 本单元主要讲文化发展的一般规律 知识要点分析 一、文化的发展 1、 发展历程 :文化传承 (1) 横向:文化传播 ①前提条件:文化的多样性 A含义:我们所说的文化多样性,主要是指民族文化的多样性。 B主要例证:民族节日:蕴涵着民族生活中的风土人情、宗教信仰和道德伦理等文化因素,是一个民族历史文化的长期积淀。庆祝民族节日,是民族文化的集中展示,也是民族情感的集中表达。文化遗产:地位和意义:文化遗产,是一个国家和民族历史文化成就的重要标志。文化遗产不仅对于研究人类文明的演进具有重要意义,而且对于展现世界文化的多样性具有独特作用,它们是人类共同的文化财富,要保护文化遗产。 C文化是民族的,又是世界的:世界文化是由不同民族、不同国家的文化共同构成的,文化是世界性与民族性的统一。各民族间经济的和政治的、历史的和地理的.等多种因素的不同,决定了各民族文化之间存在着的差异,(即文化的民族性),所以,文化是民族的,(即各民族都有自己的文化个性和特征)。又由于世界各民族的社会实践有其共性,有普遍的规律,在实践中产生和发展的不同民族文化也有共性和普遍规律,即文化的世界性。所以,文化又是世界的。 D对待文化多样性的正确态度、原则及意义:正确态度:既要认同本民族文化,又要尊重其他民族文化。不同民族之间,应该相互尊重,在发展本民族文化的同时,共同维护、促进文化的多样性。 尊重文化多样性的意义:a尊重文化多样性是发展本民族文化的内在要求。各民族只有人口多少和发展程度上的区别,绝无高低优劣之分。每个民族的文化都有自己的精粹,每个民族的文化精粹都是这个民族历史发展的产物和人民智慧的结晶。b尊重文化化多样,是实现世界文化繁荣的必然要求。一个民族的文化成就,不仅属于这个民族,而也属于整个世界。总之,尊重和保存不同的民族文化,是人类生存和发展的基础。坚持原则:承认世界文化的多样性,尊重不同民族的文化,必须遵循各国文化一律平等的原则。这就要求我们在文化交流中,要尊重差异,理解个性,和平共处,共同促进世界文化的繁荣。反对盲目自大、贬低、排斥异文化,或者妄自菲薄、盲目崇拜异文化的错误倾向。 ②含义及手段:文化交流的过程,就是文化传播的过程。人们通过一定的方式传递知识、信息、观念、情感和信仰,以及与此相关的所有社会交往活动,都可视为文化传播。 传媒大体经历了口语、文字、印刷、电子和网络等到发展阶段,但是新的传媒出现,并不意味着旧的传媒的消失。传媒真正开始面向大众传递信息,是以印刷媒体的推广为标志的。 大众传媒:现代文化传播的手段:现代社会中的传媒有报刊、广播、电视、网络等多种形式。 依托现代信息技术,大众传媒能够最大程度地超越时空的局限,汇集来自世界各地的信息,日益显示出文化传递、沟通、共享的强大功能,已成为文化传播的主要手段。 ③主要途径:a商业活动。b人口迁徙。c教育:教育是文化传播的又一重要途径。人们通过学习各种文化课程,能够获得不同的文化知识。文化传播是教育的重要功能。 ④重要意义:有利于满足人类生存和发展的现实需要;有利于促进文化的交流与融合,实现世界文化的繁荣;有利于推动人类文化的创新与发展。 (2) 纵向:文化继承 :1)前提条件:传统文化:A含义及特点:①传统文化具有相对的稳定性。②传统文化具有鲜明的民族性 B继承性的表现:传统习俗,传统建筑,传统文艺和传统思想 C影响及态度:双重影响:传统文化的相应内容如果能顺应社会生活的变迁,不断满足人们日益增长的精神需求,就能对社会与人的发展起臭味相投作用。反之,如果一成不变,传统文化也会阻碍社会进步、妨害人的发展的消极作用。正确态度:“取其精华,去其糟粕”,批判地继承,古为今用。 2)继承与创新的关系:a继承是发展的必要前提,发展是继承的必然要求。b二者是一个过程的两个方面。c文化传承就是在继承的基础上发展,在发展的过程中继承。 (3) 发展实质:文化创新 :A文化创新与社会实践的关系:社会实践是文化创新的基础(来源;动力;目的和标准);文化创新对社会实践有反作用 B文化创新的原因:必要性:a是社会实践发展的必然要求b是文化自身发展的内在动力重要性。 重要性a创新,是一个民族进步的灵魂,是一个国家兴旺发达的不竭动力。b文化创新可以推动社会实践的发展。推动社会实践的发展,促进人的全面发展,是文化创新的根本目的,也是检验文化创新的标准所在。c文化创新能够促进民族文化的繁荣。 C文化创新的途径:①根本途径(实践):社会实践是文化创新的源泉、动力和基础。立足于社会实践,是文化创新的基本要求,也是文化创新的根本途径。②基本途径之一(古今):文化创新必须批判地继承传统文化,做到“取其精华,去其糟粕”,“推陈出新、革故鼎新”。努力为传统文化注入时代精神。③基本途径之二(中外):加强不同民族文化的交流、借鉴与融合,做到博采众长。学习、借鉴其他民族文化的优秀文化成果要以我为主、为我所用。④坚持正确方向,反对错误倾向:文化创新要把握好当代文化(今)与传统文化(古)、民族文化(中)与外来文化(外)的关系。反对“守旧主义”和“封闭主义”,反对“民族虚无主义”和“历史虚无主义”。 3、影响因素:(1)社会制度的更替:每当社会制度发生新旧更替时,文化也会以一个新的文化形态取代旧的文化形态过程。代表新的政治、经济力量的新文化,通过反对代表旧的政治经济力量的旧文化节的斗争,有力地促进文化的进步。 (2)科学技术的进步,是促进经济发展的重要因素,也是推动文化发展的重要因素。当代信息技术进步和运用,使得收集、选择、传递等文化资源的手段和方式发生了根本的变革,极大促进文化的传播、继承和发展。 (3)思想运动的变革往往成为社会变革的先导,不同的思想文化在思想运动中相互撞击,从而催生社会变革,也促进文化的发展。 (4)教育:教育是人类特有的传承文化的能动性活动,具有选择、传递、创造文化的特定功能,在人的教化与培育上始终扮演着重要的角色。随着教育方式的不断变革,教育在人类文化的传承中将产生越来越大的影响。 第三单元知识要点复习一、中华文化的基本特征:1、源远流长 2、博大精深。 1、源远流长 (1)发展历程: (2)主要见证:①汉字:文字是文化的基本载体。文字的发明,使人类文明得以传承,标志着人类进入文明时代。汉字为书写中华文化,传承中华文明,发挥了巨大的作用。今天为中华各族人民所通用,是中华文明的重要标识。 ②史书典籍篇6:NSEFC2B Unit 16 全单元教案
Unit 16 The United States of America
Ⅰ.Brief Statements Based on the Unit
The United States of America is a developed country and also a booming country,which has a history of only 200~300 years.After the USA was founded,the American Civil War broke out in 1861,which brought suffering to the people of the USA,especially those in the South.Rebuilding the South became an essential task at that time.This unit mainly talks about the rebuilding and development of the American South.And Atlanta is a good illustration.It also deals with the bison on the plains of America.Because the bison was killed in huge numbers by European settlers,the balance of the whole wildlife was destroyed.After learning the unit,we let the students learn about the early history of America.Besides,some useful expressions and phrases should be mastered,and Non-finite verbs need to be reviewed,especially their passive forms.
Ⅱ.Teaching Goals
1.Talk about the USA.
2.Practise describing places.
3.Review Non-finite Verbs(2).
4.Write a comparison essay.
Ⅲ.Background Information
1.The American Civil War
The war of 1861~1865 between the northern states (the Union) and the southern states (the Confederacy) is also called the War between the States or the War of the Rebellion.There were many causes,of which the most important were disagreement over slavery,and the quarrel concerning Federal control and States’ Rights.The direct cause of the war was the election of Lincoln as President;this was followed by the secession of the southern states from the Union and the founding of the Confederacy,with Jefferson Davis as its President.The North had many advantages,a far greater population,more railway lines,and more factories.But the Confederates fought hard and were at first successful:they won the battles of Bull Run and Fredericksburg;but then Lee was defeated at Gettysburg and the Union army led by Grant won control of Mississippi.Admiral Farragant forced New Orleans to surrender:Texas,Arkansas and Louisiana were cut off from the rest of the Confederacy.After the Union won the Vicksburg campaign,Sherman made his march through Georgia to the sea,and Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomatton Court House,Virginia,on April 9,1865.Lincoln was assassinated in the same month.Slavery was declared unconstitutional.The period after the war (Reconstruction),when the South was occupied by the Worth,left bitterness that has not yet entirely vanished.During Reconstruction the southern states were admitted back into the Union.
2.The War of American Independence
(Also called the Revolutionary War 1775~1783)
The struggle of the thirteen British colonies in North America for independence ended in the forming of the USA.The main causes of the war were taxes imposed by the British government,e.g.the Stamp Tax of 1765 and the Tea Tax.The colonies rebelled in 1775;the first shots were fired at Lexington,and the First battle was faught at Bunker Hill.The continental Congress appointed General Washington as leader of its forces,and issued the Declaration of Independence on July 4,1776.General Burgoyne led a British army down from Canada but was forced to surrender at Saratoga (Oct.1777).He was supposed to meet the army of General Howe,who managed to occupy Philadelphia.Washington spent the hard winter of 1777~1778 at Valley Forge,and had difficulty in keeping his men together,France (1778),Spain (1779)and the Netherlands (1780)joined the war against Britain.British forces under Cornwallis won victories in the South where Britain had some popular support,but Cornwallis was defeated at Yorktown,Virginia,and forced to surrender (Oct.19/1781),which practically brought the war to an end.At sea,Britain had to fight to keep her naval supremacy,but after Yorktown the American ports were lost one by one.The war was ended by the Treaty of Paris,1783,which recognized the independence of the USA.
3.Slavery in the United States
The African ancestors (祖先) of today’s black Americans were brought to the US as slaves in the seventeenth,eighteenth,and nineteenth centuries.They worked on farms,especially the large farms in the southern states.Slowly they became a necessary part of the economic (经济) system (体制) of the South.
Slaves did not have the right of people;according to the law,they were a “thing” which belonged to the person who bought them.They had to obey the orders of their owners without questions.They were not allowed to learn to read;their owners feared the educated slaves would begin to think about the injustice of the system and would learn to struggle for their freedom.Slaves had to work long hours in very unhealthy conditions.Their owners had complete power over them.They could be bought and sold like animals.At the slave markets,black children were separated from their parents and never allowed to see them again.Slave owners had the right to punish the slaves who broke the law or was against the system.Slaves were often beaten or even killed by their owners.After the Civil War,one free slave reported that his owner killed an older slave who was teaching him to read.In theory an owner who treated a slave badly could be punished.In practice,however,the law meant nothing.
Opposition to slavery began very early in the history of the US-in 1671-but little progress was made until the beginning of the nineteenth century.By 1804 slavery was illegal (非法的) in the northern states.But it continued,and even grew,in the southern states,which depended on cotton for their economic wealth.Slavery,ended in the South only after the Civil War.For blacks,however,the end of slavery was only a beginning,the late beginning of a long and difficult struggle for true justice.

(A few minutes later,teacher says the following.)
T:Please look at the first picture.What place is it?Any volunteer?
S4:It is the famous White House,where the president of the US works and lives with his family.
T:Do you know how it got its name?
S4:No.
T:Who knows?
S5:At first,it was made of gray stone and called the President’s Palace.During the war of 1812,it was burned by British soldiers.Afterwards,it was rebuilt.The walls were painted white to cover up marks left by the fire.Then people began calling the President’s Palace the White House.The name caught on and has remained in use ever since.
T:Wonderful!Next,let’s look at the second picture.It is a famous city,which is it?
S6:New York.
T:Right.Can you guess when the picture was taken?
S6:I think it was taken before the date September 11,.

T:Oh,What a pity!Do you know anything else about New York?
Ss:No.
T:New York is America’s cultural capital,where there is the statue of Liberty,the skyscrapers,了the beautiful shops on Fifth Avenue,and the many theatres on Broadway.Manhattan,the smallest island in New York,is the real centre of the city.When people say “New York City” they usually mean Manhattan.In 1605,the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland.They bought the island from the American Indians for a few glass necklaces,worth about $26.The most crowded part of New York is perhaps Harlem,where most Black Americans live.The crime rate is among the highest in the Western world.I hope one day some of you will have a chance to visit it.Do you have enough confidence?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Now,work in pairs or groups.Make a list of things you know about the USA and what you’d like to know more about.(Teacher may encourage the students to make a chart.Several minutes later,teacher collects their charts.)
Sample diagram:
Step Ⅳ Listening
T:OK.We have talked more about the USA.Now let’s listen to a radio programme about New York to help Wang Xiao correct the errors in her notes.Turn to the next page.Let’s look at Ex.1 in the listening part.Here are the notes taken by Wang Xiao after he listens to a radio programme about New York.First read it by yourself.Then I’ll play the tape for you to listen.After that,please correct his errors.
(Teacher plays the tape for the first time.After playing it,teacher gives the students one or two minutes to do Ex.1.At last,teacher checks the answers with the whole class.)
T:OK.Now let’s listen to the tape again and then answer some concerned questions.Before listening,you need to go through with the questions.(Teacher gives the students one minute to read the questions.Then play the tape for the second time.After that,give the students enough time to discuss the answers and check them.)
T:Well done.Please listen to Part 2 of the listening material and then choose the best answers to the question in Ex.3.
(Teacher deals with Ex.3 in the same way.If necessary,play the tape again.)
Step Ⅴ Speaking
T:Everyone loves his own hometown,which is beautiful in their hearts.Now,let’s talk about our hometown.Tell me where your hometown is,Wang Kai.
S7:My hometown lies on the plain of North China.
T:Are there any mountains,rivers or forests?

T:Yes.Answer the question,please.
S8:It’s about 100 feet tall.
T:Very good.Make a sentence with the next sentence pattern.Any volunteer?
S9:There is a famous mountain in the north.
T:OK.Sit down,please.The last one?
S10:It looks like a bird’s nest.
T:Good job!Now,work in pairs to talk about your hometown.Ater a while,I’ll ask some students to act out their dialogues before the class.Are you clear about that?
Ss:Yes.
T:Begin,please.
(Teacher goes among the students and joins them.)
T:(After a few minutes)Are you ready?
Ss:Yes.
T:Who’d like to act out your dialogue in front of the class?
(Two students stand up and act out their dialogue before the class.)
Sample dialogue:

T:Now,let’s look at Ex.1.Pick out one word from each group that is different.Before doing,I’ll give you an example first.(Teacher writes the following on the blackboard:injustice impossible unhappy important disappear,and then says the following.)Look at the blackboard,please.Here are five words.Among them one word is different from the others.Can you pick it out?
S9:The word “important” is different from the others.
T:Pleae tell us why it is different.
S9:I use the rules of word formation to pick it out.Because these words are all with some negative prefixes except “important”.The word “important” cannot be divided into two parts “im+portant”,if so,it will not be a complete word and lost its meaning.Am I right?
T:Yes.you’re right.Do you know how to do the exercise?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Now,please do it quickly.After a while,I’ll ask some students to say your answers and explain them.(A few minutes later.)Are you ready now?
Ss:Yes.
T:The first group,Wang Li,please.
S10:“Heater”is different from the others.Because each of these words has an suffix “-er”,but their meanings are different.All the words refer to a person except “heater”,which refers to a thing.
T:Good.Let’s go on.The second one,Li Jun,please.
S11:The word “respect” is different.Because the word cannot be divided into two parts “re+spect”,if so,its meaning is lost,while the other words are made up of two parts:re+construction/cover/place/build.The prefix “re-” means “again”.
T:Quite right.Next student,go on,please.
S12:“Monument” is different from the others.Because we know when we add the suffix “-ment” to a verb,the verb will be changed into a noun,while the word “monument” doesn’t belong to the case.
S13:“Post-war”is different.Because the prefixes“non-,un-,in-”in these words all mean “not”,while the prefix“post-”in the word“post-war”means“after”.
S14:The word “entry” is different from the other words.Except “entry”,the others are adjectives.They all have a suffix “-y”,while “entry” doesn’t have.The “-y” in the word is not a suffix.
S15:“Display” is different.We know “dis-” is a negative prefix,meaning “not”.When we add the prefix to a word,the word’s meaning is opposite,while “display” is not the opposite of the word “play”.
T:You all did very well.
Step Ⅳ Grammer
T:Now,please look at the sentences on the screen.
(Teacher shows the following on the screen.)
It is impossible that lost time can be made up.
2.Rules are made so that they can not be broken.
3.I don’t mind their inviting him.
4.She enjoys their interviewing her.
Rewrite the sentences on the screen using the correct non-finite passive form.Before doing them,let’s review non-finite verbs together.
T and Ss:The verb that cannot be used as the predicate is called the non-finite verb.The “v.-ing,v.-ed or to do cannot act as the predicate,so we call them the non-finite verb.”
T:OK.Do you know the passive form of the non-finite verb?
S16:The passive form of them is separately “being done” “or“to be done”.(Teacher writes them on the blackboard.)
T:Very good.Please finish the sentences on the screen.After a while,I’ll check your answers.
Suggested answers:
1.It is impossible for lost time to be made up.

One possible sample:
Dear ××,
Thank you for your sending me the e-mail.I’ve read it.I’m glad to know you’re interested in China.I’ll try my best to help you learn about China.I hope the letter is of great help to you.
The USA and the PRC are both large countries.Some things about the two countries are similar,while other things are different.
The two countries are about the same size,but the PRC is a little larger with an area of 9.6 million km2.However,the population of PRC is many times larger.It has a population of nearly 1.3 billion but the USA has only about 283 million.This means that there is much more space in the USA for its population.
Many different languages are spoken in China,for example Chinese,Mongolian,Zhuang,etc.In the USA many different languages are also spoken,but the main ones are English and Spanish.Both countries have many different minority groups.For example,in the PRC there are the Miao,the Hui and the Uighurs.The USA has a large black population,and there are also many people from Central America.There is a small Chinese population in the USA too.
Three of the important cities in the USA are New York,the largest city in the USA,Washington,the capital,and Los Angeles.In the PRC there are many cities with large populations.Among the best known are Beijing,the capital,Tianjin,Chongqing and Shanghai,the largest city in the PRC.
Best wishes.
Yours,

Step Ⅷ Record after Teaching
The Fifth Period
Non-finite Verbs
Teaching Aim:
Revise the Non-finite Verbs and Non-finite passive form.Get the students to do some exercises to master its usage,and correct the common mistakes that students make when doing exercises.
Teaching Important Point:
Master the usage of the Non-finite verb form,especially how to choose the correct form when we use it.
Teaching Difficult Point:
How to choose the correct form when the v.-ing form is used as adverbial and how to change the v.-ing form into a clause.
Teaching Methods:
Review inductive,discussion methods.
Teaching Aids:
1.the blackboard
2.the multimedia
Teaching Procedures:
Step Ⅰ Greetings and Lead-in
(Greet the students as usual.)
T:In this class,we’ll discuss how to use the Non-finite Verb.Let’s divide it into three parts,i.e.the Infinitive,the v.-ing and the Past Participle.Then we’ll do some exercises to master its usage and at last we’ll do a test.OK.Let’s study the first part: The Infinitive (Write them on the blackboard.)
Step Ⅱ Discussion
(Teacher lets students look at some sentences on the screen and pay attention to the under lined phrases.)
T:Please look at these sentences on the screen.
(Show the following on the screen.)
I want to go shopping.(object)
2. To answer the question is not easy.(subject)
3.Would you like anything to drink?(attribute)
4.He went to help the farmers. (adverbial)
5.She wanted you to ring her.(object complement)
As you know,the infinitives in these sentences are used as subject,object,object complement,attribute and adverbial for purpose.Maybe some of them are hard for you to master,but in fact they are very important.
Step Ⅲ Summary the Forms,the Tenses
and the Usages of the Infinitive and the
Infinitive Phrase
T:Today let’s sum up and review the forms and usages of the Infinitives.Please look at the diagram on the screen.
(Show the following on the screen.)
Forms of the Infinitive
Active Passive
Indefinite to do to be done
Perfect to have done to have been done
Continuous to be doing --
Perfect continuous to have been doing --
Negative form not/never to do
T:The tenses of the infinitive express time relatively to that of the predicate verb.If the action expressed by the infinitive is of the same time as or of later time than that expressed by the predicate verb,the infinitive or continuous forms should be used.If the action expressed by the infinitive is of earlier time than that expressd by the predicated verb,the perfect infinitive should be used.Please look at the examples on the screen.
(Show the following on the screen.)
I hope to visit Beijing again.=I hope that I’ll visit Beijing again.
He seemed to have known this.=It seemed that he had known this.
He seems to be studying hard.=It seems that he is studying hard.
T:Attention,please.
(1)The Infinitive without “to” is used after the verbs:make,have,let,feel,listen to,hear,watch,look at,see,notice,observe,etc.
(Write them on the blackboard.)
e.g.We saw him cross the street.
I listened to her sing a song.
But in the Passive Voice,the infinitive with “to” must be used.
e.g.He was seen to cross the street.
She was heard to open the door.
(2)The infinitive can be with “to”or without “to” after the verb “help”.
e.g.He helped me(to)carry the books upstairs.
Step Ⅳ Consolidation and Practice
T:Now you have known the usages of the Infinitive.Let’s do some exercise.Please look at the screen.
(Show the following on the screen.)

Suggested answers:
1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D 5.B 6.A 7.B 8.C 9.C 10.A
T:Now let’s deal with Part 2:the v.-ing(Write it on the blackboard)Please look at the screen.Pay attention to the function of the underlined parts.(Show them on the screen.)
1.Beating a child will do more harm than good.
2.I hate writing letters.
3.Do you mind my making a suggestion?
4.I’m looking forward to seeing you at Christmas.
5.Your hair needs cutting.(=Your hair needs to be cut.)
T:Who can tell us the function of the v.-ing in each sentence?Please try your best.
S1:I’ll try.No.1,“beating” is used as subject.No.2,3,4,5,all the v.-ing are used as objects.
T:Can we transform the second sentence into “I hate to write letters”?
Ss:No,we can’t.
T:You’re right.In English,the v.-ing is only used after some verbs,they are:admit,avoid consider,delay,dislike,enjoy,escape,excuse feellike,finish,give up,can’t help,imagine,mind,miss,practise,suggest,understand.(Write them on the Bb.)
e.g.Have you considered getting a job in the city?I enjoy travelling abroad.
Attention,please.
When the v.-ing is used after “need,require and want”,it can express the passive meaning.
e.g.The garden needs watering.(=The garden needs to be watered.)
T:Now,look at some other sentences on the screen.
(Show the following on the screen.)
1.The train standing at Platform Eight is for Wuhan.
2.People shopping carry many plastic bags.
3.Hearing the noise,they immediately rushed out of the room.
4.Having graduated from the college,he went to a factory.
Have a discussion in groups of four and then find out the function of the v.-ing(or present participle)in each sentence.
(Teacher goes among the students to help them.)
(A few minutes later)
T:OK.Who wants to say?
S2:Let me try.In No.1 and 2,the v.-ing is used as attribute.In No.3 and 4,the v.-ing is used as adverbial.
T:You’re right.We should notice No.3 and 4.When the action takes place at the same time or immediately before the action indicated by the main verb,we use the v.-ing form.When the action has been finished before the action indicated by the main verb,we should use the perfect participle-having done.Is that clear?
Ss:Yes.
Step Ⅴ Practice
T:Now,let’s do some exercises.Look at the screen,please.Change the clause into a v.-ing form in each sentence.You can make any change if necessary.You may discuss in pairs.
(Show the following on the blackboard)
1.As Peter was feeling ill,he decided to stay at home.
2.When I had finished my homework,I began to preview my lessons.
3.If you heat water,you can change it into steam.
4.They stood at the east end of the bridge and waited for the bus.
Suggested answers:
1.Being ill,Peter decided to stay at home.
2.Having finished my homework,I began to preview my lessons.
3.Heating water,you can change it into steam.
4.They stood at the east end of the bridge,waiting for the bus.
T:From the sentences above,we can see that the v.-ing form can be used to express cause(1),time(2),condition(3)and manner or accompanied situation(4).Generally speaking,when the v.-ing form is used to express cause,time or condition,it is often put before the main clause;when it is used to express manner or accompanied situation,it is often put after the main clause.Are you clear about it?
Ss:Yes.
Step Ⅵ Consolidation
T:Now let’s do some exercises on the screen.You can discuss in pairs.Then I’ll check the answers.
(Show the following on the screen.)
Complete these sentences with the given words using the v.-ing forms:
1.______a brave woman,the servant let him into the castle.(be)
2.______fire to the castle,the two escaped into the woods.(set)
3.With his heart______hard,he knocked at the door.(beat)
4.______for three days,the revolutionary arrived at the castle.(travel)
5.While______near the gates,he saw a vegetable cart coming along the road.(wait)
Suggested answers:
1.Being 2.Having set 3.beating 4.Having travelled 5.waiting
(A few minutes later,teacher checks the answers.)
T:Now let’s look at the third part:Past Participle.(Write them on the blackboard.)
We know that the Past Participle can be used as attribute to modify a noun.Now look at these sentences.
(Show the following on the screen.)
1.The stolen car was found by the police last night.
2.I received the letter written by my old friend Jane.
T:Can you tell us the difference between the Past Participles used in these two sentences?
S3:Let me try.The Past Participle in the first sentence is put before the noun it modifies,but the one in the second sentence is put after the noun it modifies.
T:Yes,you’re right.Does anyone know why?
S4:I think it’s because in the first sentence,the Past Participle is only one word,but in the second sentence,it’s a Past Participle phrase.
T:That’s right.Now,look at some different sentences.
(Show the following on the screen.)
1.Don’t speak until spoken to.
2.Given more time,we could do the work better.
3.Destroyed by the earthquake,the house had to be rebuilt.
T:What are these Past Participles used as?
Ss:They’re all used as adverbial.
T:Yes.You’re right.And we know that the Past Participle as Adverbial can express different adverbials,such as time,cause,condition,manner.Do you know what the Past Participle in each sentence expresses?Who knows?
S5:The Past Participle in the first sentence expresses time.The second one expresses condition.And the last one expresses cause.
T:Let’s look at the blackboard.
(Teacher writes the following on the blackboard.)
1.Seen from the hill,our school looks more beautiful.
2.Seeing from the hill,we can see our beautiful school.
T:Look at these two sentences carefully.Who can tell us the difference between them?
S6:The first sentence uses the Past Participle as the Adverbial while the second sentence uses the Present Participle as the Adverbial.
T:Good.Do you know why?
S7:Because the subject in the first sentence is “our school”,but in the second sentence the subject is “we”.
T:Very good.When we are using Participles,we should pay attention to the subjects in the sentences,and the Participle we use must have the same logical subject as the subject in the sentence.If the subject in the sentence receives the action,we should use the Past Participle as Adverbial;if the subject in the sentence does the action,we should use the Present Participle as Adverbial.Is that clear?
Ss:Yes.
Step Ⅶ Practice
T:OK.Now,look at the screen.Let’s do some more exercises.You may discuss with your partner.
(Show the following on the screen.)
1.As soon as she entered the room,the girl caught sight of the flowers______by her mother.

篇7:NSEFC2B Unit 15 全单元教案
Unit 15 Destinations
Ⅰ.Brief Statements Based on the Unit
More and more people like going on a trip to a faraway destination with the development of society.But before we start,we should know more about the destination we have chosen.This unit is arranged about the central topic-Destinations.In Warming up,teacher will ask students to talk about the routes and more places in the world,improving the students’ geography know ledge.In studying the reading material “Destinations”,the students will know more sights in the world and other things with the help of the teacher.By studying this unit,students will also know that finding out more about the destination is not only a good way to save money and avoid problems,it can also be a lot of fun.As to Grammar-Non-finite Verbs,a number of exercises are arranged.After doing them,students will master some knowledge of the Infinitive,the v.-ing and the Past Participle,and know how to use them.
Ⅱ.Teaching Goals
1.Talk about travel and cities.
2.Practise making complaints.
3.Review the Non-finite Verbs(1):-ing,-ed,to do…
4.Write a descriptive essay/paragraph.
Ⅲ.Background Information
1.How to plan Your Trip
People are always telling us that“getting there is half the fun”.But is it true?Is it always true?Of course,we can all remember many enjoyable trips we have taken.But haven’t we all taken a trip that wasn’t fun at all?Can we ever forget the time when we just wanted to come home?
The fact is,some people who travel for pleasure get no pleasure from it at all.Others,who travel because they must travel,have a lot of fun doing it.What makes one trip more enjoyable than another?
The answer is planning.Any trip can be enjoyable if it is well planned.Every minute that you spend planning your trip may save you ten minutes of trouble during your trip.It may also add an hour of pleasure!
Money
Before you take any trip,the first question to ask yourself is:How much can I spend?When you decide on a figure,write it down.Now you can decide where,when,and how to go.At home,you can find out what it costs to travel anywhere in the world.Just pick up the phone and call a travel agent(旅行社).
In Season(旅游旺季),Off Season(旅游淡季)
Many resorts(旅游胜地) nd cities around the world are popular during some months of the year and less popular during other months.Find out if the places you are visiting have an “in” season and“off”season.This may help you to decide when you want to go.
There are some very good reasons to travel during the off season.Usually everything is much cheaper.It is also less crowded,of course.If you don’t have a lot of money-or if you don’t like crowds of tourists(游客)-go in the off season.
Some places are not as exciting during the off season.The weather may be too cold or too hot.The beaches may be closed.Hotels and restaurants(餐馆) ay be shut.Be sure to find out before you go.
Passports(护照),Visas(签证) nd Health Certificates(健康证明)
It is not hard to get a passport,but you should ask for one a few months before you begin your journey.To get one you must have your birth certificate or another legal document(合法文件) o prove that you are a citizen(公民).
Sometimes you need a visa to visit a country.If a visa is necessary,you can ask for one at the country’s embassy(大使馆).Sometimes getting a visa takes many months,so it is very important to plan early.The same is true for health certificates.For this information it is a good idea to call or write the embassies.You may also get a lot of other useful information from them.
Now that you have planned your trip,you are ready to take it.Should you expect any surprise?Of course you should.Let’s just hope they’re pleasant ones!
2.Future Travel:Teleportation
Science has changed the way we live and the way we think.New inventions and discoveries have made it possible for us to think about the world in new ways.The means of transportation-bikes,cars,airplanes-we use today are good examples.They are based on the idea that transportation means moving something from one place to another-on a bike,in a car or by plane.This takes time,of course,and we can only travel as fast as the laws of physics allow.It will be difficult to travel much faster than today’s airplanes and to travel very far,such as to the stars or to other planets.
Now,scientists believe that we might be able to send things from one place to another without actually moving them through space.This sounds strange,but a new way of transportation may become possible in the future.
Teleportation is a combination of sending information through telephones or the Internet and transportation.With normal transportation,for example by car or plane,a person or thing is moved from point A to point B.With teleportation,a person or thing is taken apart at point A and put together again at point B.If teleportation becomes possible,we may be able to travel faster and farther than we could ever imagine.
In the 1990s,scientists discovered that teleportation was possible.Experiments showed that teleportation could be done,but the thing being teleported was destroyed on the way.So far,scientists have only been able to teleport photons-particles(粒子) hat carry light-and laser beams(激光).What about teleportation of human beings?Teleporting a human being would be very difficult since there are so many parts in a human body.Even the smallest mistake could cause serious problems with the person’s mind or body.
There is still a long way from being able to use teleportation to move human beings,but what we used to think was impossible does now seem possible.What we know and what we imagine often work together:the more we know,the more we can imagine,and the more we imagine,the more we can learn.Science is the tool that we use to make our dreams become real and to build a new world with our ideas.

篇8:NSEFC2B Unit 20 全单元教案
Unit 20 Archaeology
Ⅰ.Brief Statements Based on the Unit
Archaeological discoveries play an important part in the study of the history and culture of a country and at the same time can help us solve many mysteries.This unit mainly talks about two important archaeological discoveries:the King of Stonehenge in England and the Jinsha Ruins and the Sanxingdui Ruins Site in Sichuan Province.The discovery of the King of Stonehenge makes archaeologists think people in the Bronze Age had trade and cultural links with other parts in Europe.While the unearthed Jinsha Ruins again proved that it is likely that roots of Chinese culture are in Sichuan.They all have a historical significance on the study of the history and culture of the two countries.Besides,we need to review the use of “it”,especially when it is used in the subject position to stand for an infinitive or a clause.
Ⅱ.Teaching Goals
1.Talk about archaeological discoveries.
2.Express curiosity.
3.Review the use of “It”.
4.Create a flow chart.
Ⅲ.Background Information
1. Underwater Archaeology
The year was 1960.The eight team members were divers and scientists.The ancient wreck(船的残骸)was buried in the sands below the warm coastal waters off Turkey.Underwater archaeology was about to be born.
Archaeology is the study of ancient life,or how people lived thousands of years ago.The work of the archaeologist is to find and recover objects made by these ancient people and figure out how the objects were used.
The archaeologists on the team that found the ancient wreck usually worked on dry land.They knew the scientific methods used in dry-land archaeology.By adapting,or changing,these methods,the archaeologists could use them under water.After diving into the sea,the group used underwater cameras to take pictures of the wreck and its treasures.Next,they drew maps on plastic tablets to show where each object was located.Then,they used a tool that gently sucked the sand away from the treasures.Large objects were placed in baskets,which were brought up to the surface.Very heavy objects were pulled up with the aid of a balloon.
The recovered objects were put in a museum in Turkey.Archaeologists then brought the photos,drawings,and maps to the United States for further research.After seven years of study,the scientists learned that the wreck was 3 200 years old.
2.Spanish scientists dig up a monster of a bone
Spanish researchers digging in a semi-desert part of eastern Spain have found a bone from an animal more than 30 metres in length and weighing 50 tons.The upper leg bone measures 1.85 metres and weighs 150 kilograms.This indicated that it came from the equivalent of a male elephant.
Scientists believe the bone came from a Sauropod,a lizard-like dinosaur that lived from 145 to 65 million years BC.
If these guesses are confirmed,it would be the largest dinosaur discovered in Europe.
It could possibly be as big as a champion heavy weight like Argentinausorus,found in South America,which from the evidence of a foot and three ribs,was probably longer than 35 metres.
The four-legged Sauropods,which had tiny brains,vast stomachs and long necks and tails,are believed to have been vegetarians,eating large trees the way people crunch celery sticks.

Teaching procedures:
Step 1 revision
Check the homework exercises.
Step 2 Grammar
( The teacher writes the sentence “ Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.” On the blackboard before class begins.)
T: Please look at the sentence on the blackboard, paying special attention to the underlined part. What kind of clause is it?
Ss: The Attributive Clause.
T: Yes. The Attributive Clause tells us which person or thing (or what kind of person or thing ) the speaker means.
e.g. The woman who lives next door is a teacher.
A sentence with an attributive clause contains two shorter sentences. In the sentence above, the two short sentences are: “ The woman is a teacher.” And “ The woman lives next door.” The Attributive Clause is the answer to the question: Which woman is a teacher?
Would you try to divide the sample sentence on the blackboard into two short sentences?
T: That’s right. Now try to find all the sentences with Attributive Clauses in the reading passage and divide each sentence into two short sentences.
T: Next I will say something about the common relative pronouns.
“Who” is used for people. “Which” is used for things. “That” is used for things or people. “Whose” is used instead of his/her/their/somebody’s. “Whom” is quite formal, and in most cases it is all right to use who instead. But when whom has a preposition before it, it cannot be replaced by who.
Step 3 Practice
1. Now look at Part 2 in Discovering Useful Structures on Page 28. try to complete each sentence using that, which, who, or whose.
Let the students do this exercise and check the answers.
2.Do more exercises in Ex 3 on Page51 in《导学》
Step 4 Homework
After class, read the passage on Page 64. It’s about advice on how to protect your home from an earthquake. Complete the sentences below, using who, whom, which, that or whose.

CStep Ⅳ Grammar
(Teacher shows some sentences on the screen.)
T:Do the sentences A and B in each pair have the same meaning?
Ss:Yes.Both of the two sentences in each pair have the same meaning.
T:Are there any differences?Who’d like to try the first pair?
S10:The subject of Sentence A is an infinitive phrase,while that of Sentence B is “It”.In Sentence B,“It” is used in the subject position to stand for the infinitive phrase.The reason why the sentence is written like that is that we want to keep the balance of the sentence.Am I right?
T:Yes.you’re right.Sentence B is more usual in everyday English.The second pair,Li Ping,try please.
S11:In Sentence A,the subject is a that-clause,while the subject of Sentence B is “It”,which is used in the subject position to stand for a clause.
T:Very good.The sentence structure “It is+adj.+an infinitive/a clause”is very useful in learning English.(Teacher writes the sentence structure on the blackboard.)Can you make a sentence with the sentence structure?
S12:Let me try.It is dangerous to go out alone at night.
T:Good.Wang Wei,make a sentence with the structure.
S13:It is natural that a child should love its mother.
(Teacher writes the two sentences the students made on the blackboard.)
T:Well done.Now.let’s do an exercise.Turn to Page 78 and look at Ex.1 in Grammar.Rewrite the following sentences using “it”.Five minutes later,I’ll check your answers.
Suggested answers:
1.It is a great honour for me to be able to join in the archaeological research project.
2.Thanks to modern technology,it is possible to find out more facts about the man buried in the grave.
3.It is still unknown whether the man organised the construction of Stonehenge.
4.It is a mystery how early men constructed Stonehenge without the use of modern technology.
T:You all did very well.Now,please look at the screen.
(Teacher shows the following on the screen.)
In this pair,Sentence A and Sentence B have the same meaning.Sentence A includes a very useful sentence structure.Do you know what it is?
Ss:Yes.It is:It be+p.p.+that-clause.
(Teacher writes it on the blackboard.)
T:Look at the blackboard,please.Here “It”is also used in the subject position to stand for a clause,but it is different from what we reviewed just now.Is that so?
Ss:Yes.
T:The sentence pattern “It be+p.p.+that-clause”can often be changed into the sentence structure “People+vt.+that-clause”.The past participles used like that in the sentence structure are: reported, believed, thought, proven, known, hoped, suggested, etc.
(Teacher writes them on the blackboard.)
T:Are you clear about that?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Let’s do Ex.2 at Page 78.First do them by yourself,then check your answers with your partner.After a while,I’ll ask some of you to read out your sentences.
Suggested answers:
1.It was said that it was an important archaeological discovery.

CStep Ⅰ Greetings
Greet the whole class as usual.
CStep Ⅱ Revision
T:Yesterday we reviewed the use of “it”,especially its usage used in the subject position to stand for an infinitive or a clause.Now,please look at the screen.I’ll see whether you’ve mastered it.After a while,I’ll collect your answers.
(Teacher shows the following on the screen.)
Complete the sentences,paying attention to the use of “it”.
1.______(据说)that this book has been translated into many different languages.
2.______(很可能)that your team will win.

5.It was not until 250 years later
6.It was in 1990
T:You all did a good job.Please look at the fifth and the sixth sentence on the screen again.Tell me the use of “it” in the two sentences.Any volunteer?
S1:Here “it” is used for emphasis.
T:You’re right.The two sentences are emphatic construction,emphasizing adverbials of time“not until 250 years later”and “in 1990”.The emphatic construction is:It is/was…that/who…This structure can be used to emphasize almost any part of the sentence.(Bb:It is/was…that/who…)
Can you give another example?
S2:It was in the street that I saw Li Ping yesterday.
T:Very good.If we emphasize the subject,the object or the adverbial of time,how should we rewrite your sentence?Who can try?
S3:If we emphasize the subject of the sentence,we should say “It was I who saw Li Ping in the street yesterday”.The sentence “It was Li Ping that I saw in the street yesterday.”is used to emphasize the object.If emphasizing the adverbial of time,we should say “It was yesterday that I saw Li Ping in the street”.Am I right?
T:Yes,you’re quite right.
CStep Ⅲ Reading
T:OK.So much for revision.China is a country with a long history.It has brilliant culture of about 5 000 years.Do you know roots of Chinese culture?

(Teacher deals with the new words with the whole class.)
T:OK.Open your books at Page 78.Please read the passage quickly and answer the questions on the screen.(Teacher shows the following on the screen.)
1.Why did Jinsha village became famous all over China in ?
2.How did Sanxingdui first discovered?
(A few minutes later,teacher checks the answers.)
T:Who’d like to answer the first question?
S4:Because archaeologists discovered more than a thousand cultural relics,including gold,jade,bronze and stone objects as well as nearly a ton of ivory.These will serve as the important materials for the study of local geography,climate and environment in ancient times.
T:Anything else?
S5:Because many of the relics there look very much like those found at Sanxingdui.Archaeologists now think that the Jinsha Ruins may have been the political and cultural centre of the ancient Shu Kingdom,which moved from Sanxingdui to Chengdu about 3 000 years ago.
T:Very good.The second one,any volunteer?
S6:In the spring of 1929,a farmer in today’s Nanxing Town was working in the fields when his son dug up a round piece of jade.They found a hole filled with more than 400 jade objects.
T:You’re right.Now,read the whole passage carefully again and then answer some detailed questions on the screen.

CStep Ⅳ Writing
T:OK.So much for reading.Archaeological discoveries play an important part in learning about the history and culture of a country,so everyone has the duty to protect them after they are unearthed.Stealing cultural relics is illegal by law.As a citizen,what should we do to protect our country’s relics?Talk about it in groups of four.After a while,I’ll ask some students to report their results.Is that clear?
Ss:Yes.
T:(After a few minutes.)Are you ready?(Ss:Yes.)OK.Wang Li,tell us what you’re going to do to protect our country’s relics?
S11:Observe the law about the preservation of cultural relics.If we find someone stealing cultural relics.We should call the police at once.
T:Good.Anything else?
S12:Learn about cultural relics.
T:Yes,you’re right.Now,imagine you have discovered some old things under the ground,what should you do to protect them?Please create a flow chart showing the things you should do and the things you should not do.Before creating your flow chart,please turn to Page 80.Study the flow chart on the left and the tips on the right with your partner.Then try to create your own chart.After a few minutes,I’ll collect your charts.Let’s see who creates it best.Do you understand?
Ss:Yes.
A suggested flow chart:
CStep Ⅴ Summary and Homework
T:In this class,we’ve reviewed the use of “it” by doing exercises.We’ve also read a passage about roots of Chinese culture and learnt some useful expressions.After class,you should do more exercises to consolidate what we’ve learnt in class.As cultural relics are very important in learning about the history and culture of a country,we must protect them.In this class,we’ve learnt to create a flow chart to tell everyone what we should do and should not do.Up to now,we’ve finished the whole unit.Can you find some words used to described archaeological discoveries?After class,please finish the homework.At last,review all the language points of this unit.So much for today.Class is over.

T:Quite right.The second one?
S2:“is” after “who” should be replaced by “am” to agree with “I” in person and number.
T:…
S3:“when” should be replaced by “that” to give special emphasis to the adverbial of time.
T:You are all right.You’ve mastered this sentence structure very well.Now I will show you some other sentences.(Teacher shows them on the screen.)
1.It is my turn.
2.Let’s call it a day.
3.If the teacher sees you doing that,you will catch it.

The Merchant of Venice is the most outstanding “romantic” comedy written by William Shakespeare, the greatest British playwright and poet of Renaissance. This play is mainly about the process of a story that Shylock, a cruel and greedy moneylender, is punished by Antonio, a merchant of Venice, with the help of his friends-Portia and Bassanio. The central theme of the play is the triumph of love(between Portia and Bassanio)and friendship(between Antonio and Bassanio)over insatiable greed and brutality(as presented by Shylock).A happy ending is brought about when Shylock is punished.Here we can see the true progressive significance of The Merchant of Venice and of its author:consistent hatred for the oppressors and sympathy for the oppressed.Meanwhile,it provides us an opportunity to learn some language points as well as revising Direct and Indirect speech.
Ⅱ.Teaching Goals
1.Talk about Shakespeare and his plays.
2.Learn to recount detail in conversation.
3.Review Direct and Indirect Speech.
4.Write a short play.
Ⅲ.Background Information
1.William Shakespeare
For any Englishman,there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest post and dramatist(剧作家).Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him,that of William Shakespeare.Every Englishman has some knowledge,however slight,of the work of our greatest writer.All of us use words,phrases and quotations(引用语)from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people.Most of the time we probably don’t know the source of the words we use,rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations!
Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,made full use of the great resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.Such a study is well worth the effort,even though some aspects(方面)of English usage,and the meaning of many words,have changed since Shakespeare’s Day.
It is paradoxical that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon,and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town,but of this we cannot be sure.We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children,a boy and two girls.We know he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces.But this is almost all that we do know.
However,what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its products,the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics have been theorizing(理论化)about the plays.Sometimes,indeed,it seems that the the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear beneath the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.
Fortunately this is not likely to happen. Shakespeare’s poetry and Shakespeare’s people (Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet, Falstaff and all the others)have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature(文学)everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and commentators and all their works have been forgotten.
2.Hamlet
The play Hamlet is considered to be the summit of Shakespeare’s tragedies(悲剧).It was written in 1601~1602 and first published in 1603.
The action of the play is laid in medieval(中世纪的)Denmark.The King suddenly dies.Gertrude,Queen of Denmark,within two months marries the new king,Claudius,brother of her husband.
The son of the late king,Hamlet,returns from the university,where he has received his education.Heavy is the heart of the young man.The country is in a state of unrest.There is said to be war.He thinks his father was murdered but he does not dare to tell others.One night Hamlet dreams of his father.He talks to his father,who tells his son he has been murdered by his brother Claudius.Hamlet hates the murderer very much and he decides to kill Claudius.
The ghost made a sign to Hamlet
that he should go with him
The struggle between Hamlet and Claudius is increasing.Claudius pays close attention to Hamlet.Hamlet pretends to have gone mad.
To expose Claudius,Hamlet thinks of a plan:a group of actors are engaged to perform a play which recalls his father’s murder.When Claudius appears deeply affected by the performance and leaves the hall before the play is ended,Hamlet knows he is right.To get rid of Hamlet,Claudius sends off Hamlet to England with his two men,who used to be Hamlet’s friends and now are ordered to spy on him and kill him.
While at sea,Hamlet discovers a letter,in which Claudius orders the two men to kill him.Hamlet manages to escape from the ship and returns to his homeland,Denmark.
In the end,Claudius is killed by Hamlet.His mother is poisoned and dies.If you want to know whether Hamlet is alive or not,Please read the play or see the film.
But soon Laertes made
a deadly stroke at Hamlet

A:Money is necessary,but not the most important.Money can bring you many things,but it can not buy you happiness.
B:Yes.Great minds think alike.

篇12:NSEFC2B Unit 11 全单元教案
Unit 11 Scientific achievement
Ⅰ.Brief Statements Based on the Unit
Science and technology are part of productive forces.The modern society has proved it.As we all see now,scientific achievements have changed the whole world and made people break away from ignorance and backwardness.The society has made great progress.This unit is arranged around the central topic-scientific achievement.In Warming up,there are several pictures asking students to talk about the most significant scientific achievements.The Speaking part introduces four different scientists who want to get money to complete their projects which are very helpful to human beings.The reading material-Zhongguancun,which is called China’s Silicon Valley,is the new centre for Chinese science and technology.By studying this unit,students also know that Chinese history is filled with great achievements in science and technology.In particular,since the year 1995 the Chinese government put forward a plan for “rejuvenating the nation by relying on science and education” and this has helped Chinese scientists make many breakthroughs.This unit presents four such results in Integrating Skills.As to Grammar-Word Formation,teacher should let students master some knowledge of forming a word,and know how to use stems and affixes to form a compound.
Ⅱ.Teaching Goals
1.Talk about science and scientific achievement.
2.Practise expressing intentions and wishes.
3.Learn about Word Formation(1).
4.Write a persuasion essay.
Ⅲ.Background Information
1.The Influence of the Computer
About ten years ago,the computer was a strange machine.Not many people understood it.Not many people said yes to it.Today,much of that is changing.The first computer system was introduced for use in business in the mid-1950s.Since then,the number of computer systems used in business,governments,and institutions(公共机构) has grown rapidly.In 1975,about 250 000 systems were in use in the United States.This figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.
The electronic computer is an important factor in our lives.Each year we use computers more and more to help us to collect data and to provide us with information.At one time,people thought computers were only useful for banks,department stores,and governments.But today the rapidly increasing number of computers are used for many other purposes.
Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected by computer?The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer.The newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer.Even radio programs are often prepared by computers.
Computers today are playing important roles in education,transportation and medicine.They are used to predict the weather,to examine the ocean,and to develop defence systems.They are being used by businesses,governments,and institutions.There is no reason to think that their use will decrease(减少).Computers will become a greater part of our lives.
The influence of the computer is great.The list of its uses could go on and on.Although the first computer was only introduced in the mid-1950s,computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.
2.The Information Revolution
The information revolution:How does it concern you?Computers Are Changing Your World.
Ten years ago,in 1986,desktop computers were just beginning to make their entrance into the world of business.Now,they are invading(涌入) the family home at a rapid pace.More importantly,however,they are also changing the way we look at the world.The information superhighway is now open to increasing numbers of ordinary people.The superhighway is providing ordinary people with immediate access to a huge amount of information.It is also giving them almost unlimited opportunities of communication with people around the world.Ordinary people now have power to gain knowledge and to link up with so many fellow citizen of the world.This has never happened before in the history of the human race.
Information Superhighway
The global computer network is called the Internet.Large computers(called servers) from all over the world have been link up with satellites.From their home,ordinary people use their computers and their telephone lines to link up to these server computers.They can then access computers overseas and find information on almost any topic they can think of.They can read foreign newspapers,find out about the latest trends in music,films,books and fashion through library catalogues(目录),and find research data on almost any subject.
Other Activities on the Internet
If the Internet users have a credit card(信用卡),they can shop for goods and services from the other side of the world.They can also join thousands of newsgroups (called “bulletin boards”,that is electronic message centres kept in computers).In these newsgroups,the Internet users can take part in discussions on many different topics with computers users around the world.
It is also possible to send letters electronically to people overseas through this computer network.This function of the computer is called “e-mail” or “electronic mail”.The letters sent arrive almost instantly at the recipient’s(接受者) server computer on the other side of the world.The cost of sending the e-mail is a fraction(小部分) of the cost of an airmail letter,a fax or a telephone conversation.
Ⅳ.Teaching Time:Four periods
The First Period

Step Ⅱ Warming up
T:Now,please tell us what scientific achievements you think have changed the world?
Ss:Electricity,cars,aeroplanes,telephones,radio and television.
T:Anything else?
Ss:The Theory of Gravity,the Internet,solar energy…
T:Quite right.Besides,some other ones like genetic engineering and cloning are also changing the world.
(Teacher writes all the scientific achievements mentioned above on the blackboard and says the following.)
T:Now,please look at the blackboard and tell which one do you think is the most significant?And why?
S1:I think electricity is the most significant,because it is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy.
S2:I think solar energy is the most significant,because it helps us save lots of natural sources of energy like coals,electricity,natural gas and oil.
S3:I think cars and aeroplanes are the most significant.They make the world a smaller place,which makes many things easy to do.
S4:I think the achievement of Genetic Engineering is significant.Not only has it given a glimpse into the extraordinary complexity of the structure of human DNA but it has also demonstrated the huge potential of cooperative scientific endeavour organized on an international basis.It has already produced important medical breakthroughs.
Ss:…
T:Wonderful.You all did a good job.Are there any other scientific achievements that you think are important?What are they?
Ss:The invention of steam engine,the discovery of “uranium” the invention of computer,the invention of telephone…
T:Do these achievements have anything in common?
Ss:Yes.
T:What do they have in common?
Ss:They are all important and useful for the development of mankind and society.
T:That’s right.Next,let’s do some listening about scientific achievement.
Step Ⅲ Listening
T:The listening material contains two parts.You are going to hear some words said by some famous people at the time when they achieved success.Can you follow me?
Ss:Yes.
T:Well,now look at the chart in Exercise 1 at the top of Page 2 quickly.Then I’ll play the first part of the tape for you to complete it.After that,I’ll check your answers.
(After checking the answers to Exercise 1,teacher goes on to deal with Exercise 2)
T:Well done.Now,listen to Part 2 and complete the sentences in Exercise 2.If necessary,I’ll play it twice for you to finish or check your answers.OK?
Ss:OK.
T:I’ll play it.Listen carefully!
(At last,teacher deals with Exercise 3.)
T:OK.So much for the tape.Now imagine you were the first person on Mars,or the first cloned human being or the first person to travel in time,what would you say?Any volunteer?
S1:If I were the first person on Mars,I would say “I’m here from the earth.”…
S2:…
T:Wonderful.If you want to do research about something,besides hard work,what else do you need?
Ss:Modern equipment and money,especially money.You get enough money,and then you get the equipment you need.Funds are essential for doing research.
T:You are right.Now,please look at the Speaking part.
Step Ⅳ Speaking
T:Here are four scientists who want to get money to complete their project.Each scientist will have to introduce his or her project and explain why it is the most important.Now,I’ll put you in groups of five to have a discussion.Four group members represent scientists;one member will listen to all the scientists and ask questions.At the end of the discussion,he or she must decide who will get the money and why.Is everything clear?
Ss:Yes.
T:And following the situation,there are some useful expressions.You can use them to express your intentions and wishes.Let’s go through them together before your discussion.
(Teacher and the students go through the expressions.After that,teacher puts the students in groups of five and gets them to prepare for a few minutes.At the end,teacher asks one or two groups to report their work to the rest of the class.)
A sample dialogue:
Organizer:Now,everybody is here.Who’d like to be the first to make a statement on this project?
Dr Wilson:I and my team are working on a cure for AIDS.As you know,the number of people infected with AIDS is keeping increasing at an astonishing speed.Some of them are facing death.As a result,we have to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible.But,right now,the lack of money is a big problem.If we got enough money,we would complete the first stage of our project in the near future.
Organizer:I see.Dr Jones,how about you?
Dr Jones:At present,we are also facing the same problem of lacking money.My research project is about cloning and how to use new technology to cure disease.Today,more and more patients are expecting to get organ transplant in order to prolong their lives.I wish what I am doing could help them.
Organizer:I understand.Dr Smith,could you please give me your opinions on your project?
Dr Smith:For humankind on the earth,food is a fundamental factor,and as the population keeps growing,per capitation resourse of people is becoming less and less.My plan is to develop new technology that will make it possible to grow food with very little water. However, currently, the shortage of money prevents my work from further going.I hope you can give me a hand on my project.
Organizer:It sounds a good idea.Dr Winfrey,it’s your turn now.
Dr Winfrey:It’s ceaseless for human beings to explore the universe.That’s why we are urgent to know what the Mars looks like and if there is any life on it.I’m thinking of sending a manned spaceship to Mars.Nevertheless,this huge project will surely cost a large sum of money.And I don’t think we can get to the aim without your support.
Organizer:So,everyone has finished their statements on their own project.Frankly speaking,they all sound tempting to me,but I’m more inclined to the project suggested by Dr Smith.From my point of view,it’s more closely related to the daily life of people and in accord with the actual condition of our country.I’d like to pour money into his project.
Step Ⅴ Summary and Homework
T:In this class,we’ve mainly talked about scientific achievement.Centering on this topic,we did some listening and speaking.This way,we’ve learnt more about science and scientific achievement.Moreover,we’ve learnt some useful expressions to express intentions and wishes,such as “If I got the money,I would…;My plan is to…;…”(Teacher writes them on the blackboard.)After class,try to practise using them and preview the reading part.So much for today.Goodbye,everyone.
Ss:Goodbye,Mr/Ms…

Step Ⅱ Revision
T:In the last period,we read the passage Zhongguancun and learned much about it.Now,can you tell me something about it?Han Fei,you try,please.
S1:Zhongguancun,in Beijing’s Haidian District,is the new centre for Chinese science and technology.The centre itself got started in the early 1980s and was set up as a special economic zone in the late 1990s.Then it quickly became the leader of China’s hi-tech industry.A growing number of overseas have returned to China and grasped the opportunity to develop their ideas at Zhongguancun.Zhongguancun has had a positive effect on business as well as science.Today,there are more than 8 000 hi-tech companies in Zhongguancun,more than half of which are IT companies.What has made Zhongguancun a success is the spirit of creativity and scientific skill.
T:Very good.Thank you.Sit down,please.We all know Zhongguancun is the leader of China’s hi-tech industry as Silicon Valley in the USA.So sometimes it is called China’s Silicon Valley.In the last class,I asked you to use a library or the Internet to find out more about Silicon Valley and then compare the two areas.Now who’d like to tell us how similar or different they are?Any volunteer?
S2:Both Zhongguancun and Silicon Valley are home to Internet industry as well as hi-tech companies,most of which are founded by students,faculty and staff members from the surrounding universities.However,as a fledgling hi-tech community,Zhongguancun has many differences from Silicon Valley.Silicon Valley has evolved a culture that is tuned to market-driven innovation,while in Zhongguancun,innovation is still largely driven by technology.In addition,investors in Silicon Valley are frequently an integral parts of companies day-to-day operations.While in Zhongguancun,investors has been used only as a source of financing.

T:Chen Wei,you try,please.
S:Some of them are formed with prefixes in front of the stems,such as “international” and “telephone”,while some of them are formed with suffixes at the end of the stems,such as “extremely” and “manned”.Both of these two ways of forming a word are called derivation.
(Bb:derivations:international,telephone,extremely,manned)
T:Very good.Sit down,please.Liu Hui,can you have a try?
S:OK.“mankind” and “broadband” are compounds,composed of two words,“hi-tech” and “e-school” are short forms of compounds;“IT” and “CSA” are also short forms.
(Bb:compounds:mankind,broadband short forms:hi-tech,e-school,IT,CSA)
T:Well done.Sit down,please.Is everything clear?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Now,please look at the stems and affixes on the screen.Match each of them with the right meaning on the right.
(Teacher shows the following on the screen.)

T:In order that you can write your essay better.You’d better read and study the tips at Page 8 carefully before writing your essay.You can begin now.If time permits,I’ll ask some students to read their essay to the rest of the class.A sample essay:
The publication of the detailed structure of 99% of the human genome is the culmination of one of the largest scientific undertakings in history.Initiated in 1990,the Human Genome Project involved the cooperative work of hundreds of scientists in 20 sequencing centres in countries including China,France,Germany,Great Britain,Japan and the United States.
The achievement is important.Not only has it given a glimpse into the extraordinary complexity of the structure of human DNA but it has also demonstrated the huge potential of cooperative scientific endeavour organized on an international basis.
Moreover,the project’s completion has already produced medical breakthrough,scientists assert that the achievement can assist research into cancers such as leukemia,and may also extend far beyond to the other deadly diseases.
Step Ⅵ Summary and Homework
T:Now let’s see what we’ve learnt in this class.First,we’ve read about some China’s significant achievements in science and technology.We know Chinese history is filled with great achievements,not only in the past,but also today.Science and technology makes a country richer and stronger.Science and technology also makes society develop and progress.Do you think so?
Ss:Yes.
T:Second,we’ve practised writing a persuasion essay.We can use some words to describe scientific achievement.Moreover,we’ve learnt some useful words and phrases such as put forward,announce…After class,please practise more to develop your ability to use English.So much for today.Goodbye.
