By reading A protector of African wildlife, students can learn from Jane Goodall in at least two aspects: one is what is the humane way to study animals; the other is that it was her great personality - universal love and mercy（博爱与慈悲 ）that made her successful. If everyone had such kind of heart, they would give everything benefit for all living things. Then our world will be full of love and peace, without any war and starvation.b. Ask students to answer these questions:1) What made her a great success?2) What should we learn from Jane Goodall?Teaching difficult points 教学难点Let everyone believe that all of us can become Jane Goodall.Teaching methods 教学方法Inspiration, Questioning and Discussion.Teaching aids 教具准备A computer, a projector and a recorder.Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式StepLead-inT: Good morning, everyone! Havent seen you for a long time. Did you have a good time in your holidays? What did you do during the holidays?S1: Yes, I had a good time. You know I enjoy movies, sports and other types of entertainment. I saw several favorite films and every afternoon, I would play basketball with my friends.S2: I would die of boredom. I didnt know what to do but read. I didnt know how to relax myself. I just hoped that the new term began. The sooner, the better.T: That sounds interesting. In fact, boredom is a kind of feeling. There is a good way to be away from it. Believe it or not, that is to help others, no matter who they are, human being or animals. Have a try, Ok? Today well learn Unit 1. It introduces several women to us and tells us how they live and work. Now lets turn to Page 1. Look at these pictures and the brief introductions, then work in pairs to discuss which of these women you think is a great woman. You need to give your reasons for your choice.Give students 3 minutes to do this task, and then ask some of them to speak out their choices. Teacher should give them some guide. For example, what is her ambition? What are the problems she met? And what are her sacrifices? After that the teacher can refer to the chart on Page 11 in the reference book. And then give them a brief summary about their discussion.A sample summary:As great women, they dont care for themselves at all, and at some point or rather, they must give some sacrifices, just like Lin Qiaozhi, she devoted all her life to medical work for Chinese women and children and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead, she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered to their mothers. Not all people can do this. Once they have chosen their careers, they would carry on with them without any withdrawal. What they did is encouraging thousands of people to continue their careers. Those who are only famous but not great cant be matched.StepReadingThere are four tasks in this step:a. Pre-reading to find the main idea of each paragraph.b. Making a chart of the text structure.c. Language points.d. Comprehending.Task 1 Pre-readingThere are 3 paragraphs in the text, and each one has its main idea. These main ideas support the title A protector of African wildlife. Teacher can give students some time to read the text quickly and find these main ideas to form a overview of the text.T: How many paragraphs are there in the text?Ss: Three.T: What are the main ideas of theirs?S1: The first paragraph is about a day in Combe National Park.S2: The second one tells us how Jane Goodall did her research and the achievement she has made in her research.S3: The third one tells us her influence to the world.T: OK. Can we divide the text in this way? There are four paragraphs in the text. The first one is about a day in the park. The second one is her way of doing her research and some achievement. The third one is her attitude and feeling to the animals. And the last one is a short summary to her.Ss: Thats right.T: Thanks. Well, lets draw a chart of the text together according to the main ideas weve found.Task 2 Making a chartA protector of African wildlife A day in the park Janes way to study chimps Her attitude to and her achievement the animalsShe has achieved everything she wanted to do.Task 3 Language PointsT: By now, we have mastered the main idea and the details. Do you have some difficulties in the language?S1: Yes. What does this sentence mean: “Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day”?T: Whod like to help her?S2: The subject of the sentence is a “V-ing form”, and the Predicate is “is” not “wake up”. So the meaning of the sentence is: 今天我们的第一件事是观察一个猩猩家庭的早起。T: Thats right. Sometimes we should depend on the structure of the sentences to help us understand the meaning.S3: Miss Wu, the sentence: “This means going back to a place where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before.” is beyond me.T: This sentence is a little difficult. First, it includes an Attributive Clause. The clause is: where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before. Second, there are two structures in the sentence. One is “to mean doing”; the other is “leave . doing”. For the first one, we can refer to the Appendices in Page 76. Now lets look at the second one. In fact, there are several same structures in this text. Please look at these sentences.Show the sentences on the screen:1. . where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before.2. . we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night.3. But the evening makes it all worthwhile.4. . was she allowed to begin her project.5. . Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.T: Now look at the boldface（黑体字）. All the structures of the Predicates are Verb + Object + Object Complement. Lets translate these sentences to taste the meaning and usage of Object Complement.Ask some of the students to translate these sentences. Give them some explanations: When we use -ing form as Object Complement, it means this act is continuing. For example, Sentence 1. When we use -to do form as Object Complement, it means this process of the act has finished or to begin. We can take Sentence 2 and 4 for example. When we use an objective as Object Complement, it means that it shows us a kind of state. We can take sentence 3 and 5 for example. If possible, teacher still can give them more examples about this structure.l I heard the teacher call my name.l I will let you know the result of the voting as soon as possible.l We watch the children diving into the water from the top diving board.l Lets go, let him alone.S4: Miss Wu, I find this sentence a bit strange: Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project.T: Yeah, this sentence uses the structure of inversion. The sign is that only phrase is placed at the beginning of the sentence. We will learn it later. Now it is Ok that you know the meaning of the sentence. Any questions?Ss: No.Task 4 ComprehendingT: Do you still have any questions? No? Ok, lets finish next task. Read the text again and try to finish Exercise 1&2 in Page 3 as quickly as you can.Give students some time to do this. After that, check the answers with the whole class.Step DiscussionWhen we are guiding students to read something, besides hoping that they can learn some basic knowledge the material shows, we still hope they can learn something that can reflect the spirit of human being. This is the most important thing a teacher should show to students.Ask students to work in groups of four and discuss the following questions:1.What made her a great success?2.What should we learn from Jane Goodall?T: I think, there is not a single person who doesnt admire success. But what is the way to succeed? Now we have read Jane Goodall, can you make sure what made her a great success, and what we should learn from her? Please discuss these two questions, and then some of you will report your opinions to all the class.Give students some time to discuss.T: Boys and girls, have you finished your discussion? How about your group?G1: We think that there are two points that made her successful. One is her way to study chimps, and the other is her true love to the animals. The first one is facile (易做到的), because it is only a way. Everyone can do it. But for the second one, it is more easily said than done. As a woman, she gave up everything, went to the forest to study the chimps and devoted all her love to these animals. It is really not easy. What we cannot understand is that how she has such great personality.T: These are very interesting questions. As far as I know, it is her relief that raised her personality. Everything is equal, no matter what they are. It isnt because we are human being that we are superior to the other living thing. We dont have any right to control other living thing. We all live on the same planet, they are our brothers or sisters. The only difference is that we have different shapes and have different wisdom. If you have the same love to the things around you, you can turn to be her. OK, how about the second question?G2: At first, we admire she had the wisdom and courage to give up her chance to go to university and went to Africa to begin her own research. This makes us think over what we should think when we are choosing our majors or a university. Secondly, most of us think that man is the master of the world, because he is the most intelligent animal on the earth. So he can decide every thing he thinks right, including doing some experiments on animals, in spite of their pains. Jane not only saw this, but also tried her best to help them and argued for them to be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. What she said in the text is very moving. It shows her deeply love to the animals. We should learn this from her. In fact, there are so much we should learn from her, her consideration, her hard work and so on.Step ListeningHave a listening. Let students listen to the reading material, follow and repeat it, pay attention to the new words and expressions, as well as the sentence structures they have learned just now.Step HomeworkT: Im very glad to hear what you said. You have learned what you should learn from Jane Goodall. And I believe you will be Jane Goodall, if you treat everything around you equally and show your love to them. Now time is up. Todays homework is to finish the exercises in Page 4 and 5. Make some preparations for the next class. See you next time.Ss: See you.GrammarTeaching goals1. Target languagea.

Ask them to conclude the rules and then give them some explanation.Teaching aidsA projector.Teaching procedures & waysStep I RevisionReview the text by checking the answers for Exercises 2, 3 and 4 on Page 4 and 5. These exercises are about the useful words that appear in the text.Step II Word-formationThere are two tasks in this part. One is leading in, in which teacher trys to give students as many words as possible. Let them guess the meanings of the words. The second one is to finish Exercise 1 on Page 4.Derivation is one of the most important word-formation. It is helpful in enlarging students vocabulary. Teachers can give them enough words, and let them guess the meaning of these words. As a result of this, students will be interested in the word-formation, and begin to use the method to guide their word study in their daily life.T: Just now we reviewed some words in the text. Now please look at these words on the screen and say the meanings of them.OrganizeOrganization StateStatementDiscuss Discussion Entertain EntertainmentDirect Direction ConsiderConsiderationDecide Decision AgreeAgreementPrepare Preparation AchieveAchievementInform Information TreatTreatmentDeter- Determination ImproveImprovementExpress Expression EncourgeEncouragementExamineExamination EnjoyEnjoymentEducate Education GovernGovernmentFeel Feeling FindFindingBegin Beginning MeanMeaningT: From the above chart we can see that with knowledge of word-formation, we can enlarge our vocabulary. Today, well focus our attention on the Noun Suffix. There are many Noun Suffixes in English. In this unit, well learn -ment, -ing, -ation, -ist and so on. Now lets finish Exercise 1 in Page 4.Let students finish Exercise 1. Check their answers with the whole class.T: Here are some other noun Suffixes on the screen. Read it and write down them in your note books. Noun Suffix-er(fighter)-or(sailor)-ist(artist)-ant(assistant)-ee(employee)-ian(librarian)-tion(attention)-ment(government)-dom(freedom)-ness(carefulness)-ism(socialism)-ship(friendship)-ure(pleasure)-ty(society)-ence(reference)Let students do it, and then check the answers with the whole class.Step III Discovering useful structuresTell students what they should do next. Ask them to read the EXAMPLE in Exercise 1 on Page 5. Make sure that they know what they should do. Finish Exercise 1, and check the answers.T: Do you have any questions?Ss: Sometimes its difficult to decide whether the meaning of the subject tends to single or plurality. T: This is a good question. Although we know that if the word refers to different members, use a plural, and if the word is considered as a whole, use a singular verb, we still find it is difficult to use this in our practice. I think what we should do is to practice again and again. Try to experience the meaning of the word in the situation. Thats the way to solve this problem. Ok, lets finish Exercise 2 on Page 5.Let students do it. They can have a discussion to check the answers. After that, check with the whole class, to fact teacher should enlarge this structure for students. Die grammar chart in the reference book on Page 5, is a good one to let students know more about subject-verb agreement. If possible teacher could show all the grammar knowledge to students.
