In each of the periods, certain tasks are to be completed. Generally speaking, there may be several different ways to explore this unit. Here is a suggested teaching plan.Teaching Plan Part One: Opener1. Introduce the topic to the class either in English or Chinese.2. Draw Ss attention to the two pictures in Opener, help them use their cell phones to scan the QR codes for information about the two people in the pictures.3. Ask them what questions they would like to ask about the two people in the pictures. Collect their questions orally, summarize them, and if possible, narrow them down to the three questions listed in Opener.4. Ask Ss to work in pairs, discussing the three questions given in Opener.5. After discussion, give pairs a few minutes to swap their answers with their neighbors.6. Ask one or two pairs to give a brief report of their discussion. Part Two: Reading & Interacting1. Introduce the topic of the text: a deaf DJ who chased a seemingly impossible dream.2. Before moving on to the text, help Ss familiarize themselves with the new words in the margin, for example, by having them read the text out loud, paragraph by paragraph, collecting any words which they have difficulty pronouncing, writing the words on the board and reading the words out to them. Ss repeat the words together, going down the list one by one and then read the words selected by the teacher. Then some of them will be asked to read the words separately and others improve their pronunciation of these words. By now they should be clear as to how the words are pronounced.3. Guide Ss to approach the text by studying the storyline of the writers personal story-time order and some key elements of a story: setting conflict, development, and ending.Setting: The writer was born in England with perfect hearing. When he was five, his family moved to the United States. Because of ear infections, he went deaf in the right ear and was left with 20% of hearing in the left.Conflict: The young man who was almost deaf, however, got interested in deejaying which usually requires acute hearing.Development: At the age of 25, he began to receive tutoring from a famous New York DJ. He got jobs, deejaying at clubs and, for his excellent performance, won the name that Deaf DJ.Ending: The writer explains how he, a man with hearing loss, succeeded in deejaying. And the writer offers encouragement for the young to chase their dreams. 4. Discuss the following elements one by one with Ss:Setting (Para. 1): Ask Ss to close their books and raise questions about the writers hearing loss. For example, Was he deaf at birth? Is he completely deal now? And ask one or two students to answer their questions. They can refer to Para. 1.Conflict (Paras. 2-3): Ask Ss to take turns to retell the story using the following word list:when I was little love folk birthday deejayhook email challenge tutor develop take overDevelopment (Para, 4): Ask Ss to read Para. 4, and close their books after they finish. Then ask them to retell the main idea of the paragraph in their own words. The following is a summary for your reference:When I deejayed at clubs, I would just show up, introduce myself, and start playing music. People enjoyed my performance but no one knew I was deaf. That was why they just couldnt believe me when I told them I couldnt hear. Therefore, sometimes, I had to let them see my doctors notes. All this showed they gave me jobs because I was good at deejaying, not out of sympathy. People have called me that Deaf DJ ever since.Ending (Paras.5-8): Ask Ss to explain how the deaf DJ succeeded in deejaying.Do back translation in pairs: Ask Ss to work with their partner to translate the following paragraph into English and compare their translation with Para 8. Ask one or two pairs to tell the differences.现在我在各种聚会上做打碟师，从学校派对到公司的活动。我也到失聪儿童小学去跟学生谈动力和自信。我特别喜欢跟家长们交谈。我跟他们说:“我给你们的忠告是让(你们的孩子)追寻他们的梦想。我耳聋，却可当打碟师，那为什么不让他们追梦呢?”5. Work together with Ss to find events and activities to match the time expressions in the table in Text Organization and do the tasks in Digging into detail and Understanding difficult sentences.6. Assign Ss to summarize the text by following the six elements of the story. And they can refer to the task Focusing on the main ideas.7.

For example, T can choose 5-8sentences from 1.1 for dictation; translate the sentences in 1.2 into Chinese first, then ask Ss to translate it back into English and compare their sentences with those in 1.2; in 1.3, give Ss the first half of the sentences and ask them to complete them orally with the five target words and expressions.13.
