3、he general idea of the text.       This text named “A Student of African Wildlife” mainly tells us the story of a great woman scientist named Jane Goodall. This lesson is the first one of the unit, consisting of four parts: 1. Warming up, 2. Reading and Comprehension an

4、d 3. Discussion and Consolidation. The text is the most important teaching material in this lesson, which extends the main topic “Women of Achievement” and contains most of the vocabulary and grammar points that students should learn in this unit.  2. Teaching AimsAccording to the combination o

5、f the New Curriculum Standards of High School English, Grade one students English level and their mentality development, I set my 3D teaching aims:        1. Knowledge and skill aims:              a. Skimm

6、ing and scanning skills: understanding the main idea; scanning for the needed information; and grasp the details;              b. to improve the students organizing and using skills of English as the second language.   &

10、oning spirit to improve their ability of analyzing and solving problems. 3. Teaching Methods         a. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT):              Language is used for communication. Its

11、 learner-centered and emphasizes communication and real-life situations.          b. Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT):              A task resembles activities which our students or other peop

12、le carry out in everyday life, Learners should be given opportunities to reflect on what they have learned and how well they are doing.         c. Computer Assisted Language Teaching (CALT)            

13、;  Language learning needs a context, which can help the learners to understand the language and then can product comprehensible output, so computer has the advantages to make the materials attractive. 4. Important and Difficult Points         

14、a. Understanding of the deep meaning of Jane Goodalls spirits.          b. Understanding the sense of “All men are created equal”. i.e. the equality of men and women.          c. Difficult language problems:

15、60;             subject-verb agreement; ing form, the usage of “spend” and inversion. 5. Teaching Procedures:Step 1. Warming up and lead-in  (5 mins)     “Interest is the best teacher.” Therefore, at the very b

16、eginning of the class, I should SPARK the students mind to focus on the centre topic “women of achievement”                1.      Show 4 pictures of great women of the world, such as Ms. Song Qinglin

17、g, J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter), Margaret Thatcher and the last one Jane Goodall.         2.      Let students guess who they are and what they achieve.             &

18、#160;   After this, the students will be eager to know who Ms. Jane Goodall is and this is the very time to naturally lead the class into Step 2  Step 2. Reading for information: Skimming and scanning  ( 9 mins totally)In this step, I use Task-based Language Teaching method, whic

19、h can give students a clear and specific purpose while skimming and scanning the context.Task 1  General idea (3 mins)Prediction is an important skill in grasping the idea of a contest. Consequently, I let the students predict the general idea before they read in this task. a.Read the title and

20、 enjoy the two pictures of Ms. Goodall on Page 2 to predict the general meaning of the text.b.Then skimming Para1 & 3 as fast as possible and summarize the general idea: The passage is mainly about how Jane Goodle worked with chimps in their environment and help people understand and respect the

21、 life of these animals.Task 2 Main idea of each paragraph. (6 mins)Cooperative learning can raise the students interest and create an atmosphere of achievement. Based on this theory, I divide the whole class into 4 groups to skim the whole text and get the main idea of each paragraph.  

22、60;       Para 1. How the group followed Janes way of studying chimps in the wild.         Para 2. What Jane discovered about chimps         Para 3. How Jane tries to protect the lives of chimps

23、in their natural habitat.         Para 4. Jane Goodalls achievements Step 3. Reading for comprehension (5 mins)       The purpose of reading is to get the correct and useful information. Students should not only have a high s

24、peed of reading but also have a correct understanding of details. Therefore the following practices on Page 3 can help check the situation.Choose the correct answers after reading the passage.1).

28、ms through reading (10 mins)      Its important for language learners to learn important rules of grammar and use these rules to solve problems in reality. In the previous process of reading, the students must come across some difficult language obstacles, so its necessary f

29、or us to discuss and explain. This period of time belongs to students. They can ask any questions they come across in the process of learning. The purpose of this is improving the students “questioning spirit” and dealing with the difficulties.     e.g.  1. Let students find

30、 out the “ing” forms and translate the sentences     e.g. a. Following Janes way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them                我们一行人准备按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去拜访他们。    

31、60;        b. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day.                我们当天的首项任务就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。            

32、; c. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree                这意味着我们要回到前一天晚上我们离开时黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。   2. Let students summarize the usages of “spend” and make up sentences in thei

33、r own words. i.e. spend on sth; spend (in) doing   3. Pay attention to the following differences (subject-verb agreement)      Our group aregoing to visit them in the forest.      Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired

34、and dirty   4. Inversion:Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project.Practice: translate the proverb into Chinese Only when all contribute their firewood, can they build up a strong fire.众人拾柴火焰高。 Step 5 Consolidation ( 16 mins t

35、otally)    Language is learnt by communicating. It is my job to create an atmosphere for students to use the language. Here I design 3 activities     1. Summary: fill in the blanks without referring to the context and then retell the whole text. (3 mins) Jane

36、Goodall has studied the chimps for many years in Africa and helped people understand how much they behave like human. Jane was determined to work with animals in their own environment. She spent many years observing and recording their daily activities.   For 40 years, Jane has been helping the

37、 rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.       Discussion or debate is an easy way to inspire new ideas and an excellent chance to practice English in a cooperative learning atmo

38、sphere. During the following two activities, The students will deepen their understanding of Ms. Goodalls spirit and the intension and attitude of the author.     2. Discussion (group of 4 ) (5 mins)        1. Why do you think Jane is called “a
