学英语报社 全新课标理念，优质课程资源Unit 3 Under the seaPart 1 Teaching Design第一部分 教学设计Period 3 A sample lesson plan for Using Language(A New Dimension of life)IntroductionLanguage is learned to be used in and for communication. So in this period we shall have the students read, listen, write and speak in English, making use of the focused words, collocations, structures and topic ideas covered in this unit. Warming up by listening and reading aloud is to be followed by reading for forms, copying and making sentences, putting the text A New Dimension of Life into a short play, writing a paragraph and reading, discussing and listening about whale watching tours. The class will end in students speaking and writing. ObjectivesTo help students read the passage A New Dimension of life To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writingProcedures1. Warming up by listening and reading aloudWhy do we read aloud? Because reading aloud: Is great fun, and it benefits our growth as readers and learners. Nurtures our love of both the written and spoken word. Gives us a chance to rediscover favorite stories and find new ones. Helps us develop important language skills that will help us learn to read on our own. So open your book to page 23 and read the text aloud while listening to the recording. Watch your pauses between the thought groups. 2. Reading for forms Read the text again to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful collocations. 3. Finding collocations and making sentencesThere are several different types of collocation made from combinations of verb, noun, adjective etc. Some of the most common types are: Adverb + Adjective: completely satisfied (NOT downright satisfied) Adjective + Noun: excruciating pain (NOT excruciating joy) Noun + Noun: a surge of anger (NOT a rush of anger) Noun + Verb: lions roar (NOT lions shout) Verb + Noun: commit suicide (NOT undertake suicide) Verb + Expression With Preposition: burst into tears (NOT blow up in tears) Verb + Adverb: wave frantically (NOT wave feverishly)You are asked to read the text and find all the useful collocations and copy them into your Collocation Book after class as homework. You may make your own sentences with these collocations.Collocations from A New Dimension of lifesit in the warm night air坐在温暖的夜色中, with a cold drink in my hand手中拿一杯冷饮, reflect on/ upon回顾， a day of pure magic充满神奇的一天, go snorkeling使用呼吸管潜泳, the most fantastic thing最异想天开/了不起的事情, such extraordinary beauty如此特别的美, discover a whole new dimension of life发现一种全新的生活空间, be aware of 意识到, the vivid colours 生动的色彩, be shaped like形状像, swim in and around环绕来来回回游, clean the bodies of large fish清洁大鱼的身体, get inside钻进去, around every corner到处, hang upside down倒挂, gather tiny plants off the coral从上珊瑚中收集微小的植物, a hard bird-like mouth一个硬硬的像鸟一样的嘴, a blue sea- star一个蓝色的海星, look straight at径直地看, a large wise-looking turtle一个大而智慧的海龟, get too close接近, strong sharp teeth坚固锋利的牙齿,（on the）watch for密切注意，看守着, be half buried in 半埋在中, each about one and a half metres long每条大约1.5米长, appear from behind从后面出现, stop from阻止做， feel scared to death感觉吓得要死, for a moment片刻, the edge of the reef悬崖的边缘, look down into depths of the ocean俯瞰海洋的深处, （heart）beat wildly（心）狂跳, in such deep clear water在这么清澈的水中, a wonderful, limitless world一个奇妙的无限的世界 4. Put the text A New Dimension of Life into a short playActing out the text is a strategy for motivating us to read out loud the text. We need oral practice and help with pronunciation and so acting out the text really helps us.A New Dimension of LifeAct OneIts 8:00am, a warm morning, at the side of the reef. The sea ripples a bit and a man is preparing to go snorkeling on the reef.Jerry: Well, (looks at all his equipment) Im ready now! (confidently) One, two, threego! (jumps into the sea) (Jerry sees all the vivid colors surrounding him-purples, reds, yellows, blues and greens and all kinds of corals shaped like fans, plates, brains, lace, mushrooms, the branches of trees and the horns of deer.)Jerry: (surprisingly) Wowthats fantastic! (at the very time, a group of fish swims by and a fish stops and begins to talk with him)The fish: (elegantly) Hi, body! Where are you going?Jerry: (friendly) Hello, Mr. Fish, Im just going around and trying to find something new to me.The fish: Oh, this is the right place. Good luck! (then goes away)(Jerry continues to swim, after a while, he sees a little thing. And then he goes close to it, trying to find what it is.)Jerry: (happily) Oh, another small cute fish! (then says friendly to it-a little orange and white fish) Morning, boy!Anemone fish: (frightened) Who are you?Jerry: Man.Anemone fish: What is man? Ive never seen Man before!Jerry: Stuff like me is called Man. And who are you?Anemone fish: Anemone fish(it seems extremely frightened, and slip away, hiding in the poisonous tentacles of the sea anemones)Jerry: (murmurs) a coward fish, but anyway, fantastic! (then he sees another fish even more fantastic than the anemone fish)(Jerry sees a small fish is cleaning the body of a large fish.)Jerry: (crying) Dangerous! Go away!Small fish: (smiling at him) Dont worry! We are friends! (it then gets inside the mouth of the larger fish and begins to clean its teeth)Jerry: (opens his mouth widely) Wow, Ive never thought of this!Jerry: Id better go! Thats too scaring!(There are lots of strange creatures. By the way he swims, he sees a yellow and green parrotfish hanging upside down, gathering tiny plants off the coral with its hard bird-like mouth; a yellow-spotted red sea-slug sliding by a blue sea-star; an orange and blue-striped angelfish looking straight at him; a large wise-looking turtle passing so close to me that I could touched it. )Jerry: (says to himself) A wonderful underground world! When I come back, I will tell Marry.Act Two(A whole days traveling finishes, and Jerry goes back home, sitting in the warm night air with a cold drink in his hand, talking with his wife-Marry)Marry: then what else did you see? (with her chin on her fist, seems really interested in Jerrys experience)Jerry: then I said goodbye to the friendly turtle and went swimming again, and I met other creatures that I didnt want to get close to-an eel with its strong sharp teeth, with only its head showing from a hole, watching for a tasty fish, or my tasty toe; and the giant clam half buried in some coral waiting for something to swim in between its thick green lips. Then there are two gray reef sharks, you know, each about one and a half meters long, which suddenly appeared behind some coral. Marry: Oh, thats too dangerous!Jerry: Thats the case, and I told myself they werent dangerous but that didnt stop me from feeling scared to death for a moment! The water was quite shallow but where the reef ended, there was a sharp drop to the sandy ocean floor. I thought I was very brave when I swam over the edge of the reef and hung there looking down into depths of the ocean. My heart was beating wildly-I felt exposed in such deep clear water!Marry: and its very interesting!Jerry: Oh, what a wonderful, limitless world it is down there! And what a tiny spot I am in this enormous world!(The end)5. Writing a paragraphLets read A New Dimension of life on page 23 again. Pay attention to the ways the author uses words and collocations to describe colors, patterns, shapes, and animals. Now you are to write a paragraph describing a place and the plants or animals there. The first stop on a visit to Zuoquan is the Mt. Miaoer Scenic Area, known as the National Geographical Park, featuring geological structure movements and hydraulic creations. The whole area is scattered with valleys, such as Chazuogou and Yaojiagou. Measuring 1,500 meters long and a dozen meters wide, Chazuogou has currents and deep pools, and is where a gorge, 700 meters high, forms a fantastic view. Walking along plank roads on precipitous cliffs, one can clearly see the traces of geographical transformation and the effect water erosion has had on the area over the years.Ganlanba (Olive Dam), a complex of several villages inhabited by the Dai people, is shaped like an olive and abounds in evergreen plants; hence its name. Viewed from the air, the villages are connected to one another and covered with green trees, while Buddhist pagodas and bamboo tower houses stand out amidst the lush green. Ganlanba is also known as Menghan (han means rolling up), and according to a legend, from which the name derives, when Sakyamuni came here to preach Buddhism, his followers laid a cotton cloth on the ground for him to tread on. After he had walked over it, his followers rolled up the cloth.I was shocked to see fish tanks (鱼缸) with so many live fish. Each did not have enough room to turn round and there were dead fish floating on the surface. I was horrified (惊骇的), but then I saw hundreds of crabs (螃蟹) in pots dying under the bright lights. But for a lifelong animal lover like me, the worst were the tanks of turtles, all destined (去往的) to end up as soup.Iguanodon, or iguana tooth was a large plant eater who was 30 feet long and stood 6 feet tall when on his hind legs. This dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period had large thumb spikes, thought to be used for defense or possibly to pull branches off trees. Iguanodon could walk on its hind feet or on all fours and was a very good swimmer.6. Reading, discussing and listening about whale watching toursWhale watching as a commercial activity began in 1955 in North America along the southern California coast. Today, whale watching is carried on in the waters of some 40 countries, plus Antarctica. All the large whale species and many dolphins and porpoises canbe seen regularly on a wide range of tours, lasting from an hour to two weeks. Whale watching is a non-consumptive use of whales with economic, recreational, educational and scientific dimensions. The economic benefits occur in areas where whale watching has quickly become a significant aspect of a local tourism economy.Now you may turn to page 25. Read Whale Watching Tours, discuss the three questions, and then listen to the tape. Collocations from Whale Watching Toursmiss an opportunity to do错过做的一个机会, at close range接近地,在很近的范围/区域空间里, on ones annual migration年度迁徙, on whale watching tour观光鲸鱼, sit outside for clear viewing坐在外面清晰地赏景, witnessin ones natural environment在自然的环境中见证/亲眼目睹, leap out of从中跳出, success rate 成功率, offera free tour向提供免费旅游, refund half the fare半价7. Closing down by speaking and writingFlying as an airline passenger is an often memorable experience, but there are times where the experience is memorable for all the wrong reasons: mechanical problems, poor service, bad food, lost luggage, or any of a number of other problems that result in a significant inconvenience or financial loss for the passenger. If you experience this kind of problem with your airline, you may want to deal with it by lodging a complaint with the airline or to one of the authorities that oversee air transportation.On page 27, at the top, there are some collocations. You are going to make up dialogues with them for the three situations. Understand Why You Are Complaining After you have decided to gather information about your situation, but before you make that phone call or write that letter, you should take a bit of time and get to know a few basic things about your particular circumstances: Why you are complaining What situation caused you to complain and what people or organizations played a role in that situation What are the things that you want to happen that will address the complaint What should you reasonably expect as an outcomeComplaining to the airline serviceYou: Hello, is this the Airline Service?Airline: Yes, speaking.You: Im sorry but I have to complain to you about your bad service.Airline: What is it?You: Id like to talk to the manager.Airline: I am the manager.You: I missed my flight to Beijing yesterday afternoon.
