Here are four choices for you to choose.Ss: Maybe its about “etiquette”.1.Fast Reading Before reading the article, lets learn a very useful reading strategy “Find topic sentences”. Finding “topic sentences” is a very useful reading strategy. As we read, we need to find “topic sentences”. These sentences usually give us a “summary” or overall meaning of each paragraph and help us understand what the paragraph is about. More detail and explanation come after the topic sentence. A topic sentence is usually at the beginning of a paragraph or the end of it. How many paragraphs does the article have ?Ss: FourT: Please skim(快速跳读) the article and find the topic sentences of each paragraph and underline them.T: Whats the topic sentence of Paragraph 1/paragraph2 /Paragraph3 / Paragraph 4?Ss: Paragraph 1: but it can be very useful to understand.Paragraph 2: Etiquette is not the same in every culture or every situation.Paragraph 3: If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them suggestions. Paragraph 4: Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world. T: Now lets move to 3a on Page 59. Scan（快速阅读） the article again more carefully and match the paragraphs with the best summaries.(Before doing it , teach the words “criticize” and “behave”.)Now lets check the answers. Paragraph 1: d, Paragraph 2: b, Paragraph 3: e, Paragraph 4: c.2.Careful readingRead the article again more carefully and match the underlined words with their English meanings:1. behavior: the way people do things.2. at first: at the beginning3. uncomfortable: the opposite of “comfortable”.4. perhaps: probably; maybe5. talking loudly is not allowed: people can not talk loudly6. impolite: not polite7. in public: places that you use with others8. take care: be careful9. break the rules: not follow the rules10. politely; in a polite wayT: Read Paragraph 1 and answer the questions: Q1: What might you hear if you spend some time in an English-speaking country ? Q2: Is it an important idea to understand? (Check the answers with the students.) T: Read Paragraph 2 and tell “True” or “False”. If it is false, correct the mistakes.( Before doing it, teach the word “Asian”.) (Check the answers with the students.) T: Etiquette is a very important idea for us to understand, But its sometimes difficult for us to know what are good behaviors and what are bad behaviors. Here are some behaviors. Please tell which are polite behaviors and which are impolite behaviors. Write “P” for polite and “I” for impolite. T: Now lets check the answers. Is the behavior in Situation 1 polite ?Ss: Yes, its polite.T: Why ? In China, when we see a lovely child, we usually pat him / her on the head to show our love. And the childs parents feel happy when we do so. Is the behavior in Situation 2 polite or impolite ?Ss: Its impolite.T: Yes, its impolite. In America, if someone pats a child on the head, his/ her parents will feel uncomfortable. They think you dont respect their child if you do so.

Yes, its OK to talk and laugh loudly at home. But what about the behavior in Situation 4 ? Yes, they are impolite because a restaurant is a public place.

Role play conversations with a partner. Here are some pieces of paper. On each piece of paper there is a bad behavior. The first person makes an action of the behavior, the second one gives a polite suggestion like “ Would you mind (not )doing ?/ Could you please (not ) do?. Then the first one makes a response like “Sorry, I wont do it again.”. or “ OK, Ill do it right away.”For example: dropping litter.A: (Make an action of dropping litter)B: Would you mind not dropping litter ? / Would you mind picking it up ? / Could you please not drop litter ? / Could you please pick it up ?A: Sorry, I wont do it again. / OK, Ill do it at once.Step 53cT: How many behaviors are mentioned in the article ?Ss: Seven.T: What are they ?S1: Standing very close to the person you are talking with.S2: Talking loudly S3: coughing loudly in publicS4: Sneezing loudly in public placesS5:Cutting in lineS6: Smoking on the busS7: Dropping litterT: Which behaviors are always wrong ?Ss: Dropping litter is always wrong.T: Which behaviors are right in some situations but wrong in other situations ?S1: Standing very close to someone you are talking withS2: Talking loudly.S3: Coughing or Sneezing loudly.S4: Smoking.T: Which behaviors are right in some cultures but wrong in other cultures ?S1: Standing close to someone you are talking with.S2: Talking loudly.T: Can you give more examples ?S1: Cutting in line is always wrong.S2: Spitting is always wrong.S3: Stepping on grass is always wrong.S4: Patting a child on the head is wrong in some cultures.S5: Wearing a white dress at the wedding is wrong in some cultures.S6: Eating with a loud sound is wrong in some cultures.T: So when in Rome, do as Romans do.Step 6SummaryT: Today we have learned some words and expressions, two polite ways to make suggestions.

Exercises for Unit 7 Section Reading I: Guess the meanings of the underlined words from the context (从上下文) .Match the underlined words with their English meanings:Would you mind keeping your voice down ?If you spend some time in an English-speaking country, you might hear the term “etiquette”. It means normal and polite social behavior. This may seem like a difficult word at first . But it can be very useful to understand. Etiquette is not the same in every culture and every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. . However, if you do this in Europe, some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China, we all know etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public places. In fact, we should also take care not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways is to ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that . For example, if someone cuts in front of you in a line, you should ask them, Sorry, would you mind joining the line ? If someone is smoking on the bus, you could ask, Excuse me, could you please put out the cigarette ?People dont usually like to be criticized, so we have to be careful how we do this.Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world ! For example, dropping litter is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask them, would you mind picking it up ?1. behavior a. be careful2. at first b. the way people do things3. uncomfortable c. in a polite way4.

I get annoyed when. What do you usually say when that happens ? I usually say, “Would you mind (not ) doing? / Could you please(not) do?”Step 2: Presentation 在多媒体上展示生活中常见的（也是课文中提到的）六个不好的行为，借此教学一部分新单词：cut(cutting) in line, wait in line / join the line, smoke(smoking), put(putting) out , cigarette, spit(spitting), talk loudly, keepdown, voice, drop litter, pickup, cough loudly, sneeze(sneezing) loudly, break the rules of etiquette. 接着顺势提问学生 What can you do if you see someone breaking the rules of etiquette ?再次呈现两种有礼貌的提建议的方法：Would you mind(not)doing? / Could you please (not) do? 然后以 “ talk loudly” 为例， 要求学生使用这两种方式给出有礼貌的建议。Step 3: Reading 对本文的教学，用了4中阅读策略：1. 通过看标题和图片预测在课文中可能会读到什么内容。2. 通过skimming找出各段落的topic sentences。3. 通过scanning,找出各段落的最佳summaries。4. 通过精读，利用“回答问题”，“T”or “F”， “关键词提问”等形式使学生对课文有进一步的了解。 Step 4: Role play 通过Role play， 让学生在用中进一步巩固两种有礼貌的提建议方式。 Step 5: Discussion: 通过做3c活动，让学生明白哪些行为总是错的，哪些行为在一些文化中是错的，哪些行为在一些情境中是错的。 Step 6: Summaries 对今天所学的内容进行总结：三大块内容1. something about etiquette: Etiquette is a very important idea to understand. Etiquette is not the same in every culture and in every situation. Some rules of etiquette are the same almost everywhere in the world.2. ways to give polite suggestions3. some words and expressions让学生跟读今天所学的内容。 Step 7: Consolidation(If we have time) 通过选词填空的形式，对本课的重点词汇进行巩固。 Step 8: Homework Level A: Write a letter to someone who always annoys you, using the words and expressions: talk loudly, keepdown, voice, drop litter, pickup, Would you mind (not )doing? / Could you please(not) do? 等。 Level B: Look for more information about etiquette in different cultures and in different situations on the Internet. 二 对于词汇教学的处理 本人大致用了5种方式，在6个环节中进行分层教学：1. 利用图片直观教学单词。本课中，本人用六幅图片教学课文中的表示行为的词汇： cut in line, wait in line / join the line, smoke*, put out, cigarette, spit, keepdown, voice*, drop* litter*, pick*up, cough*, sneeze（其中标有*的是四会词）。2. 在Find the best summaries for each paragraph 中，利用在语境中猜测词义的方法教学criticize, behave.3. 利用以旧带新，英文释义的方法教学词汇：impolite*, uncomfortable, politely, allow*, break* the rules, behavior, public*, perhaps, take care, be careful*, at first（其中标有*的是四会词）。 4. 在”T” or “F”活动中，利用在语境中猜测词义的方式教学四会词Asian 。5. 利用“用关键词提问”的方式，强化一部分四会词汇： break the rules of etiquette, cut in line, smoke, drop litter, be careful。6. 利用选词填空的形式对本课所学的重点词汇（大部分是四会词）进行巩固。教学反思 本堂课有一些不足之处：1. 就如那天霍先生所说的，三堂课中本人最忙。（不过值得提一提的是本人所授的这节课的内容也最多，词汇就有28个，其中四会词就有12个， 在这节课中既要体现阅读策略，又要体现词汇教学方法，老师在这节课中肯定要忙了。而且像这样的内容较多的阅读课平时的常规课一般至少要2课时才能完成，但是为了上一堂完整的阅读课，设计的内容偏多了点。）2. 在Step 2 部分利用图片呈现六个bad behaviors, 以此来教学一部分新单词，这种方法有点灌输的味道，学生学得比较被动，并且这部分的板书有点混乱。如果要求学生分组讨论“Which are good behaviors ? Which are bad behaviors ?” 老师会从学生的口中掏出一些内容，用以教学一部分词汇，这样学生会学得更主动，更有效。板书时，有关good behaviors 的词汇写到一起，有关bad behaviors 的词汇写到一块，这样学生就会一目了然。3. 布置分层作业时，比较笼统，不够详细。Level A 的作业应该是要求每位学生在本堂课必须掌握的内容。就本堂课来讲，每位学生要掌握的是：1.一些不好的行为的词汇以及应该做的行为的词汇,如, talk loudly, keep your voice down, drop litter, pickup, smoke, put out, cigarette, play too loud, turn down, spit.
