The Fifth Period从容说课This period lays emphasis on writing，which is a best way to test if the students have mastered what they have learned.First，the students will revise what they have learnt in the last period，that is，the Attributive Clause.Teacher will check the students translation of some sentences，which should contain the Attributive Clause.Then，students are asked to read out some sentences they have finished，which should also contain the Attributive Clause，after reading a passage.Then the students should read one invitation.According to the invitation，the students are asked to write a speech，which is made to honor those who died in the earthquake and those who helped the survivors.This task is a bit challenging for the students，but very practical.It requires the students to put what they have learned into daily use，which is the real purpose of language learning.Teacher should instruct the students what to include in such a speech in order to make it sound formal.Next the students will have to finish a little talk.This step is to train the students speaking ability as well as the ability to search for the reason for doing something.Then the students are asked to write a newspaper story to report an unusual event that happened in his or her hometown.This step is to help the students know the process of writing a report.It includes choosing the headline，listing the main ideas and listing the detailed information.Writing is a higher stage of language learning.Teacher should frequently give the students some assignments of writing.In this way the students can use what they have learned more freely.三维目标1.Knowledge：（1）Know how to write a speech.（2）Know how to write a newspaper story.2.Ability：（1）Train the students speaking ability.（2）Train the students ability

holidaying in the nations southern resorts when the disaster struck.There are more than 3000 visitors from Sweden among the missing in Thailand，and the Scandinavian nation is braced for（准备对付） what could be the worst natural disaster toll in its history.Swedes greeted the New Year with a national day of mourning Saturday，flying flags at half-staff and lighting candles for the missing.Thailands Prime Minister Thaksin Shmawatra said Saturday many of those who were still listed as missing were likely to be dead.“Many corpses will be floating in the sea，” Thaksin said，according to wire reports.“Of the 6500 missing，it is likely that they could mostly be dead as many days have passed.” Thailands official death count is 4812.As the search for bodies continues，Thaksin said his government would investigate why the tsunami warnings largely failed to reach officials and tourist resorts.“We will have to investigate the whole incident.When it happened，why we were not warned，” Thaksin said in his weekly radio address.Officials at the countrys meteorological department did issue some warnings before the waves slammed into tourist resorts and fishing villages，but they only got through to a handful of officials，the Associated Press reports.It is thought around 20000 Swedes have traveled to Thailand this holiday season，to escape the cold winter of northern Europe.While only 59 Swedes have so far been confirmed dead，authorities are fearing this tragedy may well become the worst natural disaster in the nations history.With a population of only 9 million，Swedens expected loss of life almost matches that of Indonesia，and is exceeded（超过） only by Sri Lanka.Questions：（1）The tourists from which country have the largest number of deaths in Thailand except the natives？（2）Why did Swedes make flying flags at half-staff？（3）What can we learn from Thaksins words？（4）Whats the main purpose to write this passage？（5）Why Swedes like traveling to Thailand in winter？ Answers：（1）The tourists from Sweden have the largest number of deaths in Thailand except the natives.（2）They did it in order to memorize/mourn the victims in the tsunami.（3）Thaksin was angry at why few people were warned of the tsunami. （4）The writer wrote the passage to report Thailands tsunami.（5）They traveled to Thailand because they wanted to avoid the cold winter in their own country.TitanicOne night in April 1912，a new ship called “TITANIC” was crossing the Atlantic.It was the biggest and most luxurious ocean liner（豪华远洋客轮） of that time.The ship was going very fas
