Please look at the screen:There was an old Man with a breadThere was an old man with a bread,Who said, “Its just as I feared!Two owls and a hen,Four larks and a wren,Have all built their nests in my bread!”T: In these two poems we can see that Edward Lear used a kind of magnification to make his poem funny. But because the sense of humour of English and Chinese is different, sometimes what they feel funny would not sound funny to us. But if you want to make fun of one of your friends, you can send them to him/her. They will be surprise to see these. Well, do you know these persons in the pictures? What are they good at? Nonverbal, mime and farce, funny stories or funny poems?（1）（2） （3）（4）S8: Picture 1 is Chen Peisi. I think he is famous for his mime and farce.S9: Picture 2 is Zhao Benshan.

They use a “play on words” to be funny. Let the students read the three jokes and then match the joke with the explanation.T: Well, boys and girls, just now we learned something about English and Chinese jokes. Now lets read some English jokes on Page 22. Ill give three minutes for you to read them and then match the joke with the explanation. If you like, you may have a discussion. And then well check the answer. OK, read them.The students read and finish their task, and the teacher can show some other jokes on the screen.

Now lets listen to the tape, pay attention to the intonation, and try to bring out the humorous meaning.If time permits, the teacher can ask some students to act out the jokes.Step IV SpeakingT: Now, weve learned some jokes and listened to some too.

Classmates in Group one, have you prepared a joke for us?Ss: Yes.T: Who would like to tell us?S: Id like to. My joke is very short. In order to let all of us understand the joke, Id like to act it out. But there is a new word in the story. It is “leash”. It means a rope used to tie a dog. The title of the joke is A blind man in a store. Look, this is my dog. Ok, now Ill act out the joke.A blind man in a storeA blind man walks into a store with his Seeing Eye dog. All of a sudden, he picks up the leash and begins swinging the dog over his head. The manager runs up to the man and asks, “What are you doing?!” The blind man replies, “Just looking around.”S: Thats all for the joke. Thank you.T: Woo! Its so wonderful. Thank you for bringing us so wonderful joke and your performance. Lets clap our hands for him. Ok, lets continue to check your home- work. Last time we learned something about humour. Some jokes made us laugh. Well, what is humour?S1: Humour, like jokes, can make people laugh.S2: I think, humour includes nonverbal, mime and farce, verbal jokes, funny stories and funny poems. S3: Humour is a sense. Some people have it. Its natural.S4: Humour is quality of being amusing; its an ability to appreciate the ic or amusing. I think my answer is the most correct answer, because I looked up the dictionary.T: All right, I think these explanations give us a full understanding about humour. I think, humour can also reflect a persons wit or intelligence. For example, what do you think of a banker?S1: A banker is a millionaire.S2: A banker is a big potato. He owns large houses, cars, and he can enjoy plenty of good things in the world.T: Yes. All of you are right. But Mark Twain once said: “A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining; but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.” That is why Mark Twain is Mark Twain. OK, now lets look at the two questions in Pre-reading.Step Pre-readingT: What do you like to laugh at?S1: Some funny things, such as funny looks, funny acts, funny words and so on.T: Good. Is humour always kind?S2: I guess mostly humour is kind. But it depends on who is joking and who is listening.T: Right. Different people have different understanding about the same jokes. One day, if one of your friends says to you: “Dog, Ill pick your head and beat it like a basketball.” You are shouting at him/her “Stop! You pig.” What an interesting thing it is! Do you like this?S3: I dont think this is funny. Its crazy! If he really says this to me, he will lose me.T: But some people like this. It is difficult to see who is right and who is wrong. Some people think it is funny; while other people will think it will make them throw up. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This sentence means what one person considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. So we can see that humour is not always kind.Step ReadingThe purpose of this reading is to introduce nonverbal humour. This reading material takes Charlie Chaplin for example. It tells us what nonverbal humour means; whats Charlie Chaplins style of acting; how he made a sad situation entertaining and so on.What do you know about Charlie Chaplin?This step can have three tasks. Task 1, find the main idea of each paragraph. Work in groups to decide how many passages the material can be divided. Task 2, discuss the following questions：1. Do you think his poor childhood helped him in his work? Why? 2. Why did people like The Little Tramp?3. Do you think Chaplins eating boiled shoes funny? Why?Step IV Summary of the passage:In Britain and America people were feeling miserable because of the bad economic situation. Charlie understood their problems. His character “the little tramp” was poor and homeless, but everybody loved him for his kind heart and the way he dealt with his difficult situation. Charlie Chaplin made people laugh at some of these terrible situations like being without food or money. He wrote and directed his own films and received an Oscar for his outstanding work.Step V HomeworkPreview grammar by finishing Exercises on Page 21. The Third Period GrammarTeaching goals 教学目标1.
