Unit 1 Women of Achievement---Listening

collect what they have heard and write down them on the blackboard. teachers can let them discuss which are main ideas and which are details.
task 2 the second listening
there are two purposes in this task. one is to let students finish exercise 2; the other is to let students get some useful information to finish exercise 1 and 3. so after the discussion, teachers can let students look through the exercises on page 7 in order to catch the useful information to finish the exercises when they are listening. then play the tape again, and try to finish exercise 1&2. exercise 1 is about some details. exercise 2 is about the main ideas of each paragraph. teacher can make a pause, and repeat it where the main ideas appear to make sure students can catch it.
task 3 the third listening
this is a good chance for students to check their answers. after listening twice, most students can have a good understanding about the material, and can write down the answers mostly. so this time is for their checking and adding their answers.
if they still have some difficulties, play the tape for the fourth time to meet their needs.
step iii  the listening material on page 41
teacher can ask students to guess the content of the material, according to the questions in exercises. and then have a listening and finish the exercises. the steps of the listening are the same with the above one.
step iv listening material on page 44
this is a short dialogue between jody williams and a journalist. if students want to know something about the dialogue, they must pay attention to the questions. ex 2 in the listening task offers some information. they can guide students to get what they are required to get. so it is necessary to tell students to read the chart carefully ahead, and then listen to the tape. students can write down some notes instead of the whole sentences.
step v homework
t: today, we learned something about women. i believe what they did and what they are facing may give us some inspirations. for girls we should believe that although we may face some difficulty, we are able to try our best to realize our dreams. ok, today's homework is to read the article a good example for me and make some preparations for the speaking in page 7. that's all for today, bye, everyone.
ss:  bye, teacher.
for most students it is difficult to finish all the three listening materials in one class. so teachers can make one of them as homework, let students listen to it after class.
