Unit 12  Education教案

sd: i hope so, too. but i don’t think so. after all, facts are facts. i once met a group of school-age children in the railway station. they were just wandering, begging, stealing something here and there for a living. they could not read, and none of them had ever been to a school. my parents travel a lot, and they often meet such people wherever they go. china has the largest population in the world, and many people refuse to learn because they don’t have the money, even for water and bread.t: thanks for your words. it reminds us that we have the responsibility to help those who are poor. let’s do something for the hope project in your spare time, ok?ss: ok. step iv talking t: we have known something about chinese education by getting to the famous educators and the graphs. now, we will have a discussion about two topics. topic one is about the achievements, progress and problems in education in china. you may use the words on page 102.show the following words on the slide.a heavy workload, to reduce the workload, to meet parents’ expectations, to be strict with, to raise academic standards, under high pressuret: topic two is about lifelong learning. you may read the short paragraphs on pages 235-236 and finish the first two exercises before the discussion. group a, b and c are required to discuss topic one; group d, e and f will discuss topic two. five minutes’ discussion and then each group will be asked to present your ideas. begin!students have a discussion in group work for five minutes. five minutes later.sa: first, we think china is making great progress in education, whether for school-age children or for those who can not read. as we see from the graphs, people are putting more money and effort into their children’s education. second, there still remain a lot of problems. for example, the government doesn’t offer enough money for education for all, and the teachers are not well paid.t: thank you. i really appreciate your idea, and i hope you will get a higher position in the government office, therefore you can give teachers high salaries. anybody else?sb: the teachers are living a simple life and working very hard. so are the students. we have to study from morning till night to meet our parents’ expectations. it is under such high pressure that we are burdened with a heavy workload. as we know, the load is becoming heavier and heavier. sc: the government has been trying to reduce the workload of the students, but it really disappoints us. i think the government should focus on raising the students’ academic standards instead of putting a workload on our shoulders. besides, the teachers should be strict with us students, but they should not forbid us to do some activities just because they didn’t do them when they were young.
