his/her opinion.3. group work. each member states his or her opinion and reasons.4. class work. group leader reports their work. after 5 minutes.t: now you’ve discussed this topic. i’d like the four group leaders to report your work.g1: i think it would be great to have a double because i could use the double to do the things i don’t enjoy, for example, going to school, doing homework and taking exams. having a double would also be good because i can do two things at a time, so that i can work more efficiently.g2: but we think having a double might be dangerous because we don’t know what the double might do. for example, the double might cheat people out of their money. as a result i will have to be punished because of him.g3: no, i don’t think so. i would like to have a double, because i don’t have time to do all the things i’d like to do, for example, cooking meals and having meetings. having a double would be wonderful because we could have more time to do things i like best.g4: however, having doubles would make people confused, because no one would know who the double really was or how to treat it. for example, the double wouldn’t have any parents and relatives. it would be bad for society if people had troubles, because it would be very difficult to make it clear who was to blame for the very trouble. t: thank you for all your wonderful ideas. since it’s a hot topic and we don’t reach any agreement, we can say it’s still early to use this technology to make “doubles”. step iv talking (see workbook p117)this part should be a free talk concerning future life. the students should be encouraged to express their own opinions freely. task 3: planning my future help:1. divide the students into 8-10 groups. 2. each student chooses one job and asks as many questions

scientist, you need to be interested in science first.sa: that’s true. i show great interest in how the satellite works. anything else?sb: being a scientist, you should not only be curious about

on satellites, space etc.?sb: as to this question, you can go to the library or surf the internet for help. i think there are quite a few such universities both in china and the usa.sa: how long

future”,功能項目是“談論未來生活”和“做出預測判斷”,寫作要點是學寫描述性文章。通過本單元的學習,要讓學生了解科學技術進步在未來生活中的巨大推動作用。教師要借助聽力、討論、閱讀、寫作等一系列扎實有效的教學活動,進一步拓展學生想象力,提升其語言實踐能力,讓他們意識到只有用自己的智慧和勤勞的雙手才能改造社會,為人類造福。1.1 warming up 提供了四幅圖片和八個相關話題,本部分可以作為下文“說”的鋪墊,學生分組討論,使其有話可說,無話不說。1.2 listening有兩個任務,一是聽錄音,回答問題,側(cè)重于聽能培養(yǎng),二是討論mekanik的生活方式與現(xiàn)代生活方式的不同,并給mekanika寫信回答她所關心的問題。1.3 speaking要求把全班分成四個小組,每一組從不同角度出發(fā)陳述贊同或反對“有一相似人”的理由。這種開放式討論有助于引導學生運用所學知識合作學習,指導他們?nèi)娴亍⒈孀C地看待問題。1.4 pre-reading是reading的熱身活動。要求學生采用快速瀏覽的方式確定不同段落的主題,潛移默化地培養(yǎng)學生skimming這一非常有效的閱讀技巧。1.5 reading采用“總-分-總”的寫作手法,大小標題形象地展示了本文的結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容。教師要引導學生充分利用“標題”這一有效的閱讀技巧把握文章主旨,了解作者的寫作意圖,并深入地培養(yǎng)他們猜測詞義、理解語句、歸納段落大意等能力。1.6 post-reading從回答問題、分析比較和展開討論三個層面由低到高、由易到難,循環(huán)遞進,引導學生結(jié)合現(xiàn)實生活,發(fā)揮想象,暢談未來,從而達到綜合運用英語進行交際的目的。1.7 language study “詞匯學習”部分旨在培養(yǎng)學生根據(jù)語境猜測生詞并正確運用所學詞匯的能力。其核心是把詞匯的學習和真實的語境巧妙結(jié)合起來,逐步拓展學生的詞匯量。“同步語法”部分則設計了不同類型的連線題、判斷題和轉(zhuǎn)換題,旨在訓練學生準確理解名詞性從句并靈活運用的能力。1.8 integrating skills 閱讀部分是一封書信,mekanika給人類寫一封信,介紹3044年生活方式和具體感受。文章充滿大膽的想象和對美好生活的向往,借此來激發(fā)學生的想象力,使其憧憬未來生活,更要珍惜現(xiàn)代生活。相對起來,寫作任務更加富有挑戰(zhàn)性,不但要求學生大膽想象,還要求學生言之有理,言之有物。1.9 tips指導學生如何鞏固自己的詞匯量——建立單詞收集卡片。1.10 checkpoint部分簡要地總結(jié)本單元語法重點,并引導學生總結(jié)與本單元話題密切相關的詞匯。 2. 教材重組2.1 從話題內(nèi)容上分析,warming up 與speaking相一致;而從訓練目的上分析與talking比較一致。從教材份量來說,可將warming up,speaking和workbook中的talking整合在一起,設計成一節(jié)任務型“口語課”。2.2 將listening 和workbook中的listening整合在一起,設計成一節(jié)任務型“聽力課”。2.3 可將pre-reading, reading和post-reading三個教學活動整合在一起上一節(jié)任務型“閱讀課(一)”。2.4 可將language study 與workbook中的practising語法練習題整合在一起上一節(jié)任務型“語法課”。 2.5 可將integrating skills 中reading和workbook中l(wèi)integrating skils 的reading整合起來上一節(jié)“閱讀課(二)(泛讀課)”。2.6 將integrating skills 中的writing和workbook中integrating skills 的writing整合成一節(jié)“寫作課”。3. 課型設計與課時分配(經(jīng)教材分析,根據(jù)學情,本單元可以用六課時教完) 1st period 口語課 2nd period 聽力課 3rd period 閱讀課 4th period 語法課 5th period 泛讀課 6th period 寫作課
