2019屆高三英語Under the sea
ss: good morning / afternoon, sir / madam!
t: yesterday, i asked you to work in groups to check the meanings of the expressions given on page 24 and talk about the times you had feeling like these. have you done that? now who would like to tell about a time you had these feelings?
then ask some ss to tell about the times they had feelings like these.
possible descriptions:
sa: i had a day of pure magic last summer. my parents took me for a tour in benxi, liaoning province. when we went into a cavern, we saw icicle-shaped stalactites (鐘乳石) grotesque in shape, hanging from the roof of the cavern. when the stalactites were lighted by the colorful lights, they looked extraordinary beauty. then we took a boat floating on the river, it was very dark. our boat hit the rock of the bank now and then, making my heart beating wildly. the exploring tour was the most fantastic thing i have ever done.
sb: you really had a magic day! when i went to the great wall, i also had a fantastic feeling. you see, when i was climbing a narrow iron ladder straight up to a high watchtower, i felt scared to death and my heart was beating wildly. but when i reached the top of the watchtower and looked out over the mountains, every cell in my body woke up. my mood was extraordinary good and it was like discovering a whole new dimension of life.
sc: the time i spent at shengya—the world under the sea, an aquarium in dalian, may be compared with yours. when i got into the aquarium under the sea, i felt like discovering a whole new dimension of life. a variety of beautiful fish and many other ocean animals, which i couldn’t call their names, were swimming around and the colorful sea plants were waving softly following the current of the sea. seeing such extraordinary beauty in the world, i felt every cell in my body woke up. that was really a day of pure magic.
stepⅱwriting (1)
t: in last period we read a dairy, in which the writer used very beautiful words and phrases to describe colours, patterns, shapes and behaviour of the animals. now please write a paragraph to describe a place and the plants or animals there. you can read the third and the fourth paragraph of the dairy as model for your own writing. five or six minutes later i’ll check your work.
the ss will read the third and fourth paragraph before they start writing. when they are writing, the teacher should walk around to see if they have any problems to deal with. five or six minutes later, show one or two copies on the screen and check them with the whole class.
