Module 4 Unit 1Women of Achievement(reading)Im very glad to be here to talk about my teaching plan about A Student of African Wildlife taken from Unit1 in New Senior English for China Module 4. My presentation is made up of 4 parts: the analysis of teaching material, teaching methods, learning methods and teaching procedures.I. The Analysis of the Teaching Material:1. Status and Function:It is a reading passage, which plays a very important part in the English teaching of this unit. This passage talks about Jane Goodalls working experience in African forest from several aspects, such as her research, the difficulties she met, her achievements and so on. It not only embodies the theme of the whole unit, but covers the important words and sentence structures of this unit. The former part Warming-up is the preview of this part and the latter parts are the enlargement and extension. That is to say, this part is a connecting link between the preceding and the following.2. Teaching aims:1). Knowledge aims: To let Ss grasp the meaning of the mastery words and phrases. Catch the main idea of the passage and get some detailed information of Jane Goodall.2). Ability aims: To develop Ss basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Of course reading is the centre of this lesson. Ill foster Ss abilities to collect information and deal with information. Encourage them to express their own opinions using the language learned in class and at the same time cultivate their ability to cooperate with each other.3). Emotional aims: To understand the importance of Jane Goodalls research and arouse Ss sense of understanding, respecting and protecting animals. Learn the heroines optimistic attitude to life such as never giving up in face of difficulty, solving problems independently, having the courage to adventure and explore the nature and so on. Help the Ss understand the role that women play in our social life and cultivate their confidence in themselves, especially the girls. Meanwhile, cultivate Ss teamwork spirit.3. Key points & difficult points in teaching:1). Develop Ss skills in reading, such as scanning, skimming and detailed reading2). Learn some mastery words and expressions according to context3). Retell the text & let the Ss express their thoughts using the words learned in the passage.II. About teaching methods:According to the characteristics of high school students and the theme of this unit, I will adopt teaching as a whole method, task-based method, and Ss-centered method. The linguist Edio Williams has said, “ As a rule, reading work should begin with a general understanding of the text, and then move to smaller units such as paragraphs, sentences and words.” So in the teaching procedure, I will follow the rules of Ss recognition, conduct the Ss to begin with the title and then come to the general idea and the detailed information of the whole passage. At last Ill lead the Ss back to the theme of the passage. Meanwhile, theyre given tasks to finish. In the process of finishing the tasks, let the Ss be the real master in class and foster their ability in cooperation. I think, with the help of the computer and courseware, the efficiency of the class will be greatly improved.III: About learning methods:Ss in high school have had a degree of recognition. They have their own points of view. And they also want to obtain more knowledge and information by way of our textbooks. As is described in modern educational theory, “the process of obtaining knowledge is more important than obtaining knowledge itself”, we should not only teach Ss knowledge, but also lead them to study autonomously and cooperate with each other. In our teaching, we should cultivate Ss to experience, practise and explore by themselves. And pay attention to activating Ss interests, and make them willing to search for information, obtain information and deal with information. Ill try to arouse the Ss potential and make them obtain knowledge by way of autonomous study and cooperation, and at the same time form good learning methods to improve their reading, speaking and writing abilities.IV. About teaching procedures:As we all know, modern English teaching must follow the theory that Ss are the real master in class while the teacher a director and Ss ability of innovation should be fostered too. According to this theory, I have designed six steps.Step I: Preparation:Divide the Ss into five groups and get them to finish one task before class.Task: Surf the Internet or refer to the books to find out information about Jane Goodall, such as her birthplace, her experience as a student, her research, her achievements and so on. Prepare a report.The Ss have got some idea about women of achievement in Warming-up part. They have known something about Jane Goodall. So my purpose of giving Ss this task is to let them know more about Jane Goodall by themselves. By doing this, I can develop Ss abilities to collect information, deal with the information and cooperate with others. Meanwhile we can get prepared for next step.Step II: Pre-reading:Play a video about Jane Goodall. Then Ss do their reports as theyve prepared before class.My purpose of this step is to get Ss to think, speak and express in English; foster their ability to get information from visual-auditory resources; encourage them to participate in the class activity and stimulate their interest to read the passage. At the same time I can lead in the passage.Step III: While-reading:There are 4 tasks in this step.Task 1: Skimming the title:Skim the title and guess what the author will write in the passage.My purpose of giving Ss this task is to scatter their thoughts and train the Ss in a useful reading skill skimming. And also I can cultivate their writing ability.Task 2: Scanning the passage:Scan the whole passage and find out the topic sentence of each paragraph. And then try to write down the main idea of each paragraph according to the topic sentence.For paragraph 1 the topic sentence is: Following Janes way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. The main idea of this part is: How our group studied chimps in the forest.For paragraphs 24, the topic sentence is the first sentence of each paragraph. The main idea of each paragraph is:Paragraph 2: What Jane discovered about chimpsParagraph 3: What Jane is doing now to help chimpsParagraph 4: Janes achievementsMy purpose of doing this is to foster Ss fast reading ability and the ability to analyze the information that they get.Task 3: Intensive reading:Focus on the whole text carefully paragraph by paragraph.For paragraph 1, Ill ask Ss to finish a diagram according to the groups research of the chimps activities:the whole day: watch a family of chimps wake up the chimps wander into the forest ( feed, clean each other) the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree the chimps go to sleep together in their nestBy finishing the diagram, Ss can understand this paragraph better and at the same time be trained for their skills in reading between lines.For paragraph 2, Ill ask Ss some questions, for example:Where did Jane Goodall do her research?How did she do her research?What did she discover about chimps?Then the Ss can discuss the questions together. By this task, I can check if the Ss can understand this paragraph and train the Ss for their abilities to use information and their narrative ability.For paragraph 3, Ill ask Ss to do some true or false statements:She hopes that chimps can be left in the forest.She supposes that people should use chimps for entertainment.She has spent more than forty years helping people understand her work.She has built many homes for the wild animals to live in.By these true or false statements, the Ss can understand this part better and at the same time I can train their abilities to comprehend and remember information.Paragraph 4 is very simple, Ill ask Ss only one question: What did she achieve? Then I can train their ability to analyze information and their ability to organize their speech.The purpose of task 3 is to train the Ss for the skills of finding out the important facts and detailed information. And teamwork can help lower the difficulty and also gives Ss an opportunity to cooperate with each other.Task 4: find out the difficult points and sentences by themselves. Then work in groups and exchange their understanding of the difficult points. One group asks other groups to explain them in English. Anyone who understands them can stand up to explain.My purpose is to develop Ss reading skills drawing in context and let hem have a better understanding of the text. Meanwhile cultivate Ss ability of studying autonomously.Step IV: Post-readingTask 1: discuss the structure of the passage.I may ask the Ss to discuss the following questions:What is the structure of the passage? How is the passage organized? Do you think the passage is well organized? Give your reasons. Who do you think was telling the story? Would you prefer that it was written by Jane? Why do you think it isnt?My purpose is to make Ss more aware of the way a passage is written and get them prepared for writing such a kind of passage.Task 2: retell the text according to some key words.My purpose is to lead the Ss back to understand the passage as a whole. Practise their abilities to obtain information and deal with information. At the same time practise the Ss narrative ability.Task 3: Have a discussion in groups . What will you do if you have a chance to work in the west , especially in a remote area?This task is based on the text but not confined to it. My purpose is to scatter the Ss thoughts and broaden their horizon. And get the Ss prepared for writing. I hope in this way I can change their know
