Unit 5 Nelson Mandela a modern hero单元规划本单元以Nelson Mandelaa modern hero为话题，目的在于使学生了解一个伟人应具备怎样的品质，学会根据材料表达自己的观点，并用所学的句型来描写一个伟人。本单元所有语言知识和语言技能主要围绕“Nelson Mandela”这一中心话题进行设计，听、说、读、写的练习也始终围绕这一主题展开。课文讲述了南非黑人争取自由的历史，从而说明自由、平等的重要性，同时也表达了对那些为自由和平等权利而献身的勇士的敬仰。Warming up利用图表的形式让学生判断一下自己是哪种类型的人，由此得出一个伟人应具备怎样的品质。Pre-reading设计了一道题（How can we tell if an important person is a great person？），同时给学生提供了六个名人的图片，要求利用图片下面提供的人物事迹以及学生对他们的了解，来判断这六个人谁是伟人，谁是重要的人物。可以以四人小组的活动形式，组织学生谈论William Tyndale，Norman Bethune，Sun Yat-sen，Gandhi，Nelson Mandela和Neil Armstrong的主要事迹，引起学生对文章内容的思考，使学生能用英语阐述自己的意见，培养学生的观察能力和语言表达能力，为进入正文学习作好充分的准备。从学生的生活经验和兴趣出发，在课堂教学中应设计任务型教学活动，以学生为主体开展教学活动，让学生在完成各项任务的过程中自主学习语言，这充分体现了新课程标准的教学理念，同时也提高了学生学习的自主性。Reading部分以Elias的口吻，讲述了南非黑人所受到的不公正待遇以及他们争取种族平等的斗争历史。同时还提到了他与Nelson Mandela的一段交往，从侧面向学生展示Nelson Mandela的高贵品质。教材设计的目的是在训练学生阅读技能的基础上，让他们认识到南非黑人争取自由和平等权利而付出的艰辛努力。文章的主题有利于培养学生坚强的意志，树立正确的人生观与世界观。此外，这是一篇记叙文，应让学生学会利用时间顺序描述一个人一生的主要活动。Comprehending是在阅读的基础上，要求学生完成两道大题来整体理解课文。第一道辨别是非题的设计由表及里、层层深入，帮助学生逐步加深对课文的理解。第二道信息采集题则考查了学生阅读理解能力中的细节理解能力。Learning about language分词汇和语法两部分，词汇部分第一题要求学生用课文中的词填空。第二题要求学生正确理解不同单词的具体用法。语法部分是对定语从句中关系副词的用法进行了概括与复习。设计的练习紧密联系课文，能加深学生对教材的理解。Using language分为“听力”（Listening）、“阅读”（Reading）、“写作”（Writing）三个部分。听力部分是在Learning about language活动的基础上，以听力训练形式进一步帮助学生了解Elias加入the ANC Youth League的原因。材料内容可以说是课文的延续。练习包括两个项目，设计多样，生动有趣。第二题有利于培养学生用英语进行总结概括自己思想的能力。同时，在听力技能的训练上列出了有关听前预测的三条建议：1.在听前认真阅读问题和选项；2.努力预测可能的答案；3.根据常识来判断。这些技能是做好听力题的关键，应引起教师的充分关注。同时，这个听力可以和72页的Listening task进行整合。阅读部分谈论到了Elias的狱中生活和狱后不同的遭遇，进一步说明自由、平等的重要性。写作部分在听力和阅读的基础上，要求学生给南非总统写一封信，要求释放Nelson Mandela。这是一个任务型的学习活动，指导学生就自己感兴趣的话题开展写作活动，以及学生写作时应注意的有关事项，要求学生写出自己的看法。练习生动有趣，能够引起学生的兴趣。同时让学生在实践中体验“自由”的内涵，有助于提高他们的语言概括能力。教师要指导学生注意信的格式。Summing up为单元学习的调查和反馈，让学生自我归纳本单元所学的语言知识以及从Nelson Mandela身上所体现的高贵品质。Learning tip主要是来指导学生开展同类文章的课外阅读，进一步提升这一类文章的阅读技能。此外，在整个单元的教学中，要始终注意认知策略的培养，引导学生进一步了解具体史实和事件，加深对种族及种族歧视、不同国家、不同历史年代人物与事件的认识和理解。一方面，课前、课后鼓励学生利用网络和图书馆搜集相关资料，善于获得学习资源，充分利用学习资源。另一方面，着重培养情感策略，激励学生热爱民主、平等、和平、自由、守法，积极上进、奋斗创新。本单元教学可分为7个课时，第一课时为Warming-up

were happy with Nelson Mandela and the ANC. T：Look at the first sentence，please.Is it true？S14：I think it is wrong，because Elias met Nelson Mandela when he was a poor black worker.T：How about the second sentence？S15：It”s right，because in the passage we can find this sentence.It was in 1952 and he had opened a black law firm to advise poor black people on their problems.T：Very good.Now who can tell us which of these sentences are correct？S16：I think the fourth sentence is right.T：Do you agree with him/her？Ss：Yes.T：What about the third sentence？S17：I think it is wrong.Elias was unable to read or write because his family could not continue to pay the school fess and the bus fare，so he had to leave school when he was eight years old.T：Good.Look at the fifth sentence，who”d like to have a try？S18：I”d like to.This sentence is wrong because Elias did not like violence.T：How about the next sentence？S19：It”s wrong.Nelson Mandela didn”t believe that black people were being treated as well as white people in South Africa.T：How do you know this？S20：In the passage，we can read this sentence：.until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.T：Good.What about the last two sentences？S21：They”re both wrong.Nelson Mandela believed that breaking the law in a peaceful way was his first choice.As to the last sentence，Nelson Mandela led the struggle against the government，so it is natural for him to be hated by the government.Step 6 Reading and understandingT：Now，read the text again and make a timeline of Elias” life until he met Nelson Mandela.Work out the year in which he was born and then fit in the other event in his life till he was fourteen.（Show the following on the screen.）1940 19481942 19501944 19521946 1954 （Students practise for a few minutes and the teacher may join in their discussion and help them.Finally ask some students to answer them one by one.）Suggested answers：1940 He was born.1942 Not mentioned.1944 Not mentioned.1946 He began school.1948 He had to leave school.1950 He worked in a gold mine in Johannesburg.1952 He first met Nelson Mandela.1954 Not mentioned.T：To help you better understand the passage，please read the passage after the tape.And then answer the following questions：Q1：How many parts can we divide the text into？Q2：What”s the main idea of each part？Are you clear？（Teacher plays the tape and helps the students with their pronunciation.）Suggested answers：Part 1 （para 1-2）The life of Elias before he met Nelson Mandela.Part 2 （para 3-5） The change of Elias” life after he met Nelson Mandela and what Mandela did.Step 7 SummaryT：Today，we”ve learnt a text “Elias” story”.And we did some talking about great people.I think you have got a lot of information about racial discrimination and the qualities great people have in common.Step 8 Homework1.Read the passage more.2.Finish Ex 1，Ex 2 on SB.P35-36.板书设计Unit 5 Nelson Mandelaa modern heroThe First Period1.hero 2.quality3.willing 4.active 5.republic6.principle 7.nationalism8.livelihood9.fight10.peaceful.Part 1 （para 1-2）The life of Elias before he met Nelson Mandela.Part 2 （para 3-5）The change of Elias” life after he met Nelson Mandela and what Mandela did.活动与探究This activity is to make a research into what kind of person your best friend is.Ask students to fill in the following table after school by doing a research in their free time.QuestionsYesNoDo you always do your own homework？Do you ask for help when you think it necessary？Do you help others with their work if they ask you？Do you get on well with your classmates？Are you willing to do public service work without pay？Your friend needs bus fare home but you want to buy something to eat.Would you refuse to help？Are you active in school activities？Do you have hobbies？Do you easily lose heart when you are in trouble？Do you often help old people or little children when they need help？备课资料Mandela”s statements in court during the trials are classics in the history of the resistance to apartheid，and they have been an inspiration to all who have opposed it.His statement from the dock in the Rivonia Trial ends with these words：I have fought against white domination，and I have fought against black domination.I have cher
