牛津高中英语教学设计单元：Unit 3 Amazing people板块：Welcome to the unitThoughts on the design:本节课是以听、说为主的口语教学课。口语教学不仅要做到语言的“输入”，更要强调语言的“输出”，要充分调动起学生对本单元话题的兴趣，使学生“有话可说、有话会说”。教材由四幅图画和三个讨论题组成。首先通过图片展示了四位古今中外的“amazing people”,熟悉的人物能够激发学生的兴趣，让他们“有话可说”。三个讨论话题则引导学生进一步思考这些杰出人士所做的贡献以及他们对社会的影响，并让学生通过小组活动来展示自己心目中的英雄、描述他们的事迹。进而让学生总结出这些人物的共同点，引出“amazing people”的定义。最后引导学生树立“做一个对社会有贡献的人”的理想，达到德育渗透的目的。整堂课密切围绕话题，将一些有深度的话题穿插在图片讨论中，通过各种活动调动每个学生积极参与，使他们“有话会说”，并为下一步的阅读课做好充分的热身准备。Teaching aims:After a discussion about the four pictures, the students will be able to talk about some amazing people and their achievements. Then they will be encouraged to express their opinions about who they consider heroes/ heroines. At last, the students will get a better understanding of amazing people and come to know that they will succeed as long as they work hard. During the whole procedures, the students are expected to practise their spoken English and share opinions with others by actively participating in the designed activities.Teaching procedures:Step 1 Lead inA guessing game: Give the students a description of some people and let them guess who they are. (PPT4-12：先向学生展示人物的文字说明，让学生说出人名，然后显示人物图片)1. She is a superstar in Asia. (张静初)She is good at acting.2. He is one of the most famous basketball players in the Lakers. (Kobe Bryant)He is considered to be the next Jordan.3. He is a famous singer. (林俊杰)One of his famous songs is “Jiang Nan”.4. He is the most famous Chinese player in NBA. (姚明)5.

(No)But why are they still so popular among us? (Because they have made great contributions to the cause of space exploration of our country.)So we can call them amazing people. (PPT13：点击鼠标，显示本课标题，进入课本教学)Besides them, what kind of people can be called “amazing people”? Thats what we are going to discuss today.Explanation教师通过竞猜人名的形式向学生展示一些他们日常生活中熟悉的偶像，充分调动学生的学习热情和兴趣，寓教于乐。在欢快的气氛中，引发学生思考什么样的人才能称之为“amazing people”，从而自然地引出本堂课中四幅图画所描绘的四个“amazing people”。Step 2 Presentation 1. Play a part of Fate Symphony/ the fifth Symphony composed by Beethoven.（PPT16：点击喇叭先听一小段命运交响曲，引出贝多芬）Qs: Have you ever heard of this music? (Yes.) Do you know in his middle age, something unfortunate happened? (Yes, he lost his hearing.)（PPT17：谈论贝多芬的经历和成就）Did he give up his music? (No. Although he was deaf, he successfully finished the ninth symphony at last.)What do you think of him? (He was great/ successful, he had a strong will/ great determination, or he never gave up.)2. Give a brief introduction of Mother Teresa and ask the students to read it together. (PPT18-19：点击鼠标，展示Mother Teresa图片，齐读介绍文字)PPT: She is one of the greatest women in the world who made great contributions to the peace of the world. From the age of 18 she worked in India to help the poor. For more than 30 years she took care of people in need. She was awarded by the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. In 2003, she was given the name of Blessed Teresa. She was loved by people in India. Its said that after she died, about 400 important people paid final respect to her.Listen to a part of a speech by Mother Teresa and fill in the blanks according to it.（PPT20-21：点击喇叭，听Mother Teresa在诺贝尔颁奖典礼上的发言并填空）Question: From her story, what can we learn from Mother Teresa? (We should show our love to others / always smile at others / do what we can to help others.)（PPT22：话题拓展）Competition (group work): How can we show our love to others in daily life? Give as many examples as possible. 3. Show some pictures and ask some questions about Bill Gates.Qs: When you look at the computer, who will you think of first? (Bill Gates)（PPT23：由电脑图片引出Bill Gates）What do you think of him? (He is rich, clever and handsome.)（PPT24：介绍Bill Gates及话题拓展）Do you think his achievements have had a great effect on our life? How? (Nowadays we can do shopping at home, borrow books from the library without leaving our home. These may have seemed strange ten years ago, but now computers have turned them into realities. Computers bring a lot of convenience to our daily life. With computers, we can find information wed like to know; we can solve many complex calculations easily; we can always find solutions to difficult problems. Because of computers, a lot of time and effort have been saved. Work is done more efficiently and communication has become much easier.)Bill Gates and his wife also set up a foundation focusing on improving global health. Is Bill Gates one of your heroes? (Yes/No.)4. Show the picture of Zheng He and ask students the following question: What contributions did Zheng He make for China? (He opened up relations between China and the outside world)Explanation在课前教师让学生做好充分的准备工作，主要是借助“Internet”查阅关于四个“amazing people”的一些基本资料，这样学生在课堂上就有话可说。在介绍四个人物的时候也利用多种形式在激发学生兴趣的同时也扩充了他们的课外知识，提高了他们的综合能力。如在介绍“Mother Teresa”的时候，添加了她在获得诺贝尔和平奖的颁奖仪式上的一段演说，让学生做缺词填空的听力练习。在介绍四个人物的时候没有简单地按照书上给出的顺序排列，而是根据学生的学习规律，将学生特别感兴趣的、有话题讨论的安排在后面，按“词-句-段-篇”的顺序训练学生说的能力。介绍完四个人物之后，给出几个问题供学生讨论，问题设置有一定的梯度，力求让不同层次的学生都有话可说。Step 3 Sharing information1. Discussion (group work)Divide the students into groups of four and each group leader should collect the ideas on a piece of paper and report them later.Do you have a hero? What are the things he or she had done that make you feel that this person is amazing? (My hero is Thomas Edison.
