Travel journal the 5th period_教案

Unit 3 Travel journalThe Fifth Period从容说课This is the fifth period of this unit. As usual, the teacher will check the homework. First, the teacher will ask several pairs of the students to act out their dialogues. This activity is designed to make Ss to guess what may happen according to the story, meanwhile to develop Ss ability of expressing their ideas in English and make them more courageous to express themselves in public. To see if the Ss have improved their ability of expressing themselves in English, they will evaluate their performance in acting their dialogue. Later this evaluation will be put into Ss study files. For Part 1 on Page 56, the teacher can ask each student to read several sentences of the passage. In this way, Ss are also given a chance to practice reading English aloud. To give Ss a clear impression upon the Wuyi Mountains, the teacher can present pictures taken there. There are several language points from Page 22 to 23It is time for the teacher to deal with them in this period, for there is a translation exercise on Page 57, which we will leave to Ss as todays homework. The explanation of these language points will give Ss confidence in finishing what otherwise will be very difficult. In the previous two periods, Ss have been given much training in reading, since listening is another important part of English learning, they should be given some training in listening. Therefore in this period, they will finish the listening tasks of Part 3 Chatting With a Girl on Page 23Through listening activity, we can develop Ss ability of grasping key words and key sentences and get them into the habit of predicting what will happen according to the context. Ss are given different tasks while listening to the passage for three different times. This is also correspondent to the taskbased teaching methods. To consolidate the language points in this unit, Ss are required to finish the translation exercise of Part 2 on Page 57And they should preview Part 6 of Journal Down the Mekong on Page 59三维目标1Knowledge：usual, put up, camp, for one thing. . . for another2Ability：Listening and speaking. 3Emotion：Learn the beauty of our motherland. 教学重点The language points of this lesson. 教学难点To get correct information in listening. 教具准备Projector and other normal teaching tools. 教学过程Step 1 GreetingStep 2 Act out the dialogueStep 3 RevisionT：Yesterday you did a quite good job. So today Ill show some beautiful pictures I took in the Wuyi Mountains as a reward. Do you like them？I think youll be interested in the travel journal by one of the tourists to Wuyi Mountains. Please turn to Page 56Would you please read the passage, paying attention to your tone？S1：A tour of the Wuyi Mountains in the northwest of Fujian Province is well worth your time. This place has clean rivers, beautiful forests on hills and peaceful villages. The UN honored much of Wuyi in 1999Since then, more and more tourists have visited it and some have used air travel to get there. T：Please stop here. Would anyone go on reading the passage？S2：You will be glad to know, however, that it is still a special, quiet place to see. Yunufeng, or Jade Lady Peak, is as beautiful as ever. Jiuquxi, a river in the shape of a snake in the southwestern part of Wuyi Mountains, is still green and clear as it travels nearly ten kilometers to the plains below. S3：On the river you can see many high hills or stop to climb a rock staircase to the top of Tianyoufeng. From there you might stand in a light warm rain as you look out over the beautiful valley below. Clouds come and go among the mountains and you may imagine yourself in a dream world. Sometimes fog finds its way between the mountains and into the valleys. Birds sing cheerfully in the forest, perhaps calling out names from long ago. S4：In another part of the river you can take a boat down the rapids but be sure to wear a Tshirt and shorts as you will get wet. If you need to wear glasses, tie them to your head. Dont change your mind about going down the river! Be brave! Some guides will help you on the boat and take care of you on the river. You can watch green water become white as it begins to move more quickly. You will probably feel both excited and nervous, but enjoy the ride. When your journey is finished, dont forget to pay a visit to the village nearby and try the famous Wuyi rock tea. Then you can have a rest and think about the trip. Step 4 Language pointsT：“As usual” means “ as it is usual”. For example：He came late as usual. （He was always late, and this time he came late again. ）Can you guess its Chinese meaning？S：It means “像往常一样”. T：Please make some sentences by yourselves. S1：He is a man with few words. He didnt say anything at the meeting as usual. S2：He will go home at the Spring Festival as usual. T：Listen and tell me the meaning of “than usual”. He had important things to deal with this morning, so he got up much earlier than usual. S：比往常。T：Yes. How can we say “今天会议室的人比往常多”？S：Today there are more people in the meeting room than usual. T：What about“他今晨感到比往常好一点了。”？S：He feels a bit better than usual this morning. T：Tell me the meaning of “put up the tent”. S：搭起帐篷。T：Besides “搭起”, what other meanings does the phrase have？Please tell the meaning of it in the following sentences. （1）If you have questions, you can put up your hands to ask your teacher. 举起手（2）They put up several new houses on out street. 建造（3）They put up some pictures on the wall to make the room more beautiful. 张贴（4）Every morning, mother puts up breakfast for the two children. 准备（饭食、药物等）（5）He is going to put up another proposal at the conference. 提出（建议）（Ask individual Ss to guess the meaning in each sentence. ）T：Now look at the word “camp”. What part of speech is it？S：It is a noun. T：Yes, it can be a countable noun and an uncountable noun, for example：（1）When we were on holiday, we stayed in a camp. （countable）（2）The soldiers made camp at the foot of the mountain. （make camp意为“扎营”, camp为不可数名词）Please underline the phrase “make camp”. S：Can it be used as a verb？T：Yes, of course. We can say “go camping. ” “Go camping” means “去露营”. S：I once came across “summer camp”, does it mean “夏令营”？T：Yes, youre very clever. Here is another very important word “stay”. How do you understand the word in “stay awake”？S：Does it mean “ keep or remain awake”？T：Yes, how do you know？S：I remember we learned “American English changed while British English stayed the same. ” In this sentence, “stay” means “remain” or “keep”. T：You have good memory. We should always associate the new with what we have learned. It is a good way of learning everything. Now turn to Page 23Please underline “for one thing, for another” and “be familiar to”. “For one thing, for another” usually expresses two reasons. Its Chinese meaning is “一则再则”, e. g. I persuaded him not to buy the suit, for one thing, it didnt suit him, for another （thing）, it was too expensive. Can you make one sentence after the model？S：I will not go the cinema tonight, for one thing, it is raining, for another, there will be an exam tomorrow. T：Perfect. We often say “sb. be familiar with sb. ” and “sth. be familiar to sb. ” Please translate the sentence “我们很熟悉这首歌。”S：We are familiar with the song. /The song is familiar to us. T：Right. Step 5 ListeningT：Next, we will do some listening exercises. Please look at Part 3 Chatting with a Girl on Page 23（1）First listeningListen to the tape for the first time, and then tick out the words you hear on the tape. （2）Second listeningListen to the tape for the second time and fill in the chart.
