示范教案Unit1FriendshipPeriod1WarmingupandSpeaking.doc

示范教案(Unit 1 Friendship)单元规则本单元的话题是“朋友和友谊”(friends and friendship)和“人际关系”(interpersonal relationships)，中心话题是“友谊”(friendship)，具体涉及“朋友是不是仅限于人类”“朋友的真实含义”以及“如何与人相处的问题”，语言技能和语言知识等，几乎所有的内容都是围绕“友谊”(friendship)这一中心话题展开的。为了围绕中心话题开展听、说、读、写活动，本单元安排了八个部分：“热身(Warming Up)”“读前(Pre-reading)”“阅读(Reading)”“理解(Comprehending)”“语言学习(Learning about Language)”“语言运用(Using Language)”“小结(Summing Up)”和“学习建议(Learning Tip)”。“热身(Warming Up)”部分设计了一份调查问卷，共五个问题，都是日常生活中经常发生的真实问题，每个问题后的三个选项都是解决这些问题的常用的方法，要求学生做过之后计算出自己的得分。该部分的目的是引导学生了解日常生活中朋友之间发生的真实问题以及解决这些问题的方法，从而激发他们的学习兴趣，激活其已有的背景知识，使其能运用自己已有的知识和经验思考该单元的中心话题，以探索者的姿态投入该单元的学习，去获取新的信息，掌握新的知识，并丰富自己的经验，提高分析问题和解决问题的能力。“读前(Pre-reading)”部分提出了三个问题：人为什么需要朋友？朋友必须是人吗？其他东西会成为朋友吗？这些问题不仅与单元主题有关，而且与下一部分的阅读材料内容紧密联系。因此，它们不仅可以启发学生对“友谊”和“朋友”进行思考，使学生明确不仅人与人之间可以做朋友，日记也可以成为人们的朋友，而且也可以启发学生预测课文的内容，展开简短的讨论，以便通过阅读验证自己的推测。讨论时，要鼓励学生独立思考，阐述不同的看法。“阅读(Reading)”部分摘自安妮日记，标题是ANNES BEST FRIEND，讲述了犹太女孩安妮把日记作为朋友，倾诉自己内心感受的一段故事：二战中为躲避纳粹的迫害，她和家人不得不藏身于荷兰阿姆斯特丹的一个小阁楼里，不能与外界接触，周围又没有可以推心置腹、与之深谈的朋友。孤独之中她将日记作为朋友倾诉衷肠，在写日记的过程中寻求解决问题的方法。教材的设计目的，不仅仅是对学生进行阅读理解的训练，更重要的是通过阅读帮助学生对“朋友”和“友谊”有进一步的理解。因此，教师应该让学生了解纳粹迫害犹太人的那段历史，使学生在感受外国文化的同时自然而然地习得语言。只有了解当时的历史背景，才能深刻理解安妮当时的心境和为什么将日记视为自己的朋友。在此基础上，教师可引导学生对该文章进行全面整体理解，也可以给学生设置情景，引发他们的思考。例如：“如果你是安妮，你会怎么做？”、“如果你三天不许出门，呆在一个几平方米的小阁楼上，你会做什么？”，这样可以使学生通过体验学习，感悟语境，实践语言，以达到强化学生语言意识，积累语言经验的目的。“理解(Comprehending)”部分提供了四个练习。通过连句、问答题、填表格等的形式帮助学生对课文内容、细节进行更深入地理解。问题的设计由浅到深，由课内到结合自己的实际，使学生逐步加深对“朋友”和“友谊”的理解。这阶段要尽量挖掘学生的学习潜能，注意给他们提供充分的思维时间和空间。让学生做学习的主人，学会自己解决问题。“语言学习(Learning about Language)”部分教学本课重点词汇和重点语法项目。词汇部分设计了三个练习：练习1是从课文中找出有相同意思的词汇；练习2是用练习1中的一些单词和短语完成段落；练习3是用课文中的单词和短语完成句子。设计这些练习的目的是帮助学生复习掌握重要词义和词语，并能在具体的语境中正确使用。在这一环节中，教师要引导学生自学、自做、自助、自悟，即指导学生形成自主学习意识，掌握合适的学习策略。语法项目是陈述句、一般疑问句和特殊疑问句的直接引语和间接引语，设计了三个练习：练习1是通过观察句子来了解直接引语和间接引语的不同；练习2要求把直接引语变成间接引语、间接引语变成直接引语；练习了要求利用间接引语编一段对话。设计这些练习的目的就是让学生了解直接引语和间接引语的不同，理解并运用直接引语变间接引语的一些简单规则。教师在教学中要注意提醒学生不要死记硬背语法规则，而是要启发学生从实际出发，灵活掌握、运用规律。“语言运用(Using Language)”部分分读和听(Reading and Listening)、说(Speaking)、读和写(Reading and Writing)三个步骤，提供了如下活动：读两封信、听一段话、讨论和写信，给学生提供了广阔空间去探讨友谊、友情，尤其是涉及现实生活中被朋友误解、曲解，没有朋友的孤单寂寞等问题。在这一环节中，教师应想方设法激发学生的学习热情，让学生学会自己动手收集信息、处理信息，用所学语言去实践，通过自学、自做解决问题，同时帮助同学解决问题，使学生在运用语言的过程中感悟体验所学语言的规律，培养语言意识，积累语言经验，形成语言感觉，达到语言运用的目的。这样做既锻炼了学生听、说、读、写的语言运用能力，又培养了学生发现问题，解决问题的能力。“小结(Summing Up)”部分设计了一个表格，引导学生从本单元的话题、词汇和语法等方面对所学内容进行归纳总结。这样做的目的是便于学生复习掌握本单元的要点内容，更重要的是使学生养成良好的学习习惯，从而提高学习效率，同时也锻炼了学生的归纳总结的能力。“学习建议(Learning Tip)”部分鼓励学生养成写日记的好习惯。这样，一方面可以习得语言，另一方面还可以将日记作为自己的朋友表达感情与思想。知识目标：本单元需要学习的重点单词为：addpointupsetignorecalmconcernloosecheatreasonlistsharefeelingNetherlandsGermanoutdoorscrazynaturepurposedarethunderentirelypoweraccordingtrustindoorssufferteenageradvicequestionnairequizsituationeditorcommunicatehabit本单元需要学习的重点词组为：add upcalm downhave got tobe concerned aboutwalk the doggo throughhide awayset downa series ofon purposein order toin ones powerface to faceaccording toget along withfall in lovejoin inmake an effortshow ones interest inspreadfar and widepay (no)attention toin the past本单元需要学习的重点句型为：1.

Students are expected to come to be truly aware of the qualities and conducts that make a good friend, display and develop the ability to cope with misunderstandings, conflicts and problems related to friendship, and give advice on it. The concept that even an ordinary thing can be a friend should break down the traditional belief in the interpersonal nature of friendship. Also, the comparison of similarities and dissimilarities in friendship comprehension between the East and the West leads students to know better the values of friendship in Westerners eyes. All in all, this unit promises to unveil the true essence of friendship and helps students to lead a more friendly and harmonious life. Thus, based on the theme, contents and teaching objectives, the whole teaching procedures can fall into seven periods as follows:Period 1:Warming up and speakingPeriod 2:ReadingPeriod 3:Important language pointsPeriod 4:Grammar(Direct Speech and Indirect Speech ()Period 5:Friendship in Hawaii (Reading task in the workbook)Period 6:Using language (Listening and Writing)Period 7:Revision (Summing up and Learning tip)Period 1Warming up and Speaking整体设计从容说课This is the first teaching period of this unit, perhaps also the first in this new term.

The teacher can introduce the topic to the students in interesting ways, such as playing videos and songs on friendship, getting the students make a list of qualities a good friend should have, letting the students make a group discussion on questions about the topic, and so on. Then have the students make the survey in the textbook. This survey examines whether the students are good friends and leads them to think and talk about friendship, get to know the problems between friends and seek solutions. In doing so, it should make them consider what qualities and behavior make a good friend. This is the first of many activities designed for self-reflection in this textbook. It makes preparations for the further teaching in topics, background and vocabulary.Another teaching aim in this period is to get the students to learn how to express their attitudes, agreement and disagreement, and certainty. The teacher can get the students to work in pairs to talk about “If your best friend does something wrong, what will you do? ” and share their ideas with each other. Then ask them to work in groups on other questions (a question each group). In above two steps, tell them to use such structures as I (dont)think. . . , I (dont)believe. . . , In my opinion, . . . , I (dont) think so, I (dont)agree, Exactly, Im afraid not, Thats correct, Of course not, and so on.To consolidate the contents of this period, the students are required to make a dialogue on qualities a good friend or an ideal friend should have.教学重点1.
