good friends教案

3  open for discussion. the students can list basic survival skills.
let the students discuss the question in groups. the question can be discussed in the form of a role-play where each student represents one of the four people and has to persuade the others that he or she should be given the parachute.
5.have a short discussion about one or more ideas in the text:
1 ) what can we do to be good friends even if we are very busy?
2 ) does a successful man or woman need friends?
3 ) the text talks about “giving” and “taking.” how do friends give and take?
4 ) what do friends teach us?
5 ) is it better to have a human friend or an unusual friend such as a volleyball, a pen or a dog?
step 6 language study   key to “word study”:

6 hunt for  7 fond of/interested in  8 brave/fearless  9 in order to/ so as to   10 smart 
student-centered vocabulary learning:
it is very important for students to make their own choices and decisions about what they learn. you can help your students by letting them practise making such choices and decisions.
give the students a few minutes to make a list of words and expressions from the text that they want to learn. the list should not be too long.
ask the students to show their list to a partner and explain why they chose these words or expressions.
there are many ways to help the students deal with new words. begin by letting the students try on their own. if the students can discover the meaning of new words themselves—either by using clues, pair work, or group discussion they are more likely to develop a better understanding of the word. more importantly, the process will help them develop strategies and skills that they can use when they encounter new words. the teacher is responsible for providing guidance and assistance. give the students time, help as little as possible and in a gradual way. try to model and encourage positive behaviour—the best way to help is to provide clues and examples. if you “explain” the word or simply translate it, you are not giving the students an opportunity to learn. 
1  encourage the students to try different ways to fix the words in their minds.
2  some words may have different meanings. you can help the students decide which meaning fits the context. 
unit 1 背景材料：cast away 荒島余生
湯姆•漢克斯曾以《費城故事》和《阿甘正傳》連續(xù)兩度獲奧斯卡最佳男演員獎殊榮，為自己和別人樹立了兩座高不可攀的豐碑。經(jīng)歷了一段時間的低潮后，他又再度與贊米基斯（《阿甘正傳》的導(dǎo)演）合作，憑借《荒島余生》一片獲得第七十三屆奧斯卡最佳男演員獎提名。可惜的是，此獎頒給了羅素•克羅（《角斗士》）。據(jù)說，奧斯卡評委們是不會讓同一個人在十年之內(nèi)三度稱帝的。但湯姆•漢克斯的演技可以說無可挑剔。為演好此角，他甚至將體重減少了幾十斤。如果你有興趣，可以找來此片一睹被遺棄荒島前后判若兩人的湯姆•漢克斯的模樣。
