This unit keeps a positive tone or outlook. It can make students not only understand the dangers people face in a quake, but also realiz

17、e that there are things that can be done to minimize the damage caused by quakes. It includes exercises and tasks that enable students to think about how to avoid quakes, or at least some of the damage they can cause. This unit also lets them role-play community work that deals with disaster relief.

18、 Thus, based on the theme, contents and teaching objectives, the whole teaching procedures can fall into seven periods as follows:Period 1:Warming up and ReadingPeriod 2:Important language pointsPeriod 3:Grammar:the Attributive Clause (I)Period 4:ListeningPeriod 5:Using languagePeriod 6:Reading task

19、 and Speaking taskPeriod 7:Revision (Summing up, Learning tip and Project)Period 1Warming up and Reading整體設(shè)計(jì)從容說(shuō)課This is the first teaching period of this unit. At the beginning of the class, the teacher can lead in the topic of the unit by showing students some pictures of natural disasters and talk

20、ing about them.As to Warming Up, the teacher had better ask students to describe the two photos on Page 25. In a sense, the photos show two cities famous for their earthquakes during a period of calm. Students must imagine what an earthquake could do to the buildings, roads and bridges they see in t

21、he photos. When students try to express their ideas, they will probably have difficulty. This activity provides them with the chance to learn how to do this. It is also a good opportunity for the teacher to teach them the new words and phrases for the unit, such as cracks, cut across houses, roads a

22、nd canals, fall down, lie in ruins and destroy.Before reading the passage A Night the Earth Didnt Sleep, the students should discuss the two questions in the part Pre-reading. For the first question, students must consider what is of most value to them materially. Perhaps the things students would t

23、ake are expensive, or perhaps the things would have symbolic value. Would they take their camera or a photo album? Would they take their diary or a favorite sweater? The choices the students make and the reasons they give for making those choices should reveal something about them as people. The sec

24、ond question asks students to make guesses about what happens before an earthquake. Of course, the reading will describe to them what actually happened as the result of one terrible earthquake. So this question must precede the reading. Encourage students to think freely about the question and think

25、 of a reason why such and such might happen. This part prepares students for the reading passage.The reading passage titled A Night the Earth Didnt Sleep recounts the terrible earthquake that nearly destroyed the city of Tangshan in Hebei Province in 1976. The earthquake caused a greater loss of lif

26、e than any other in the last century. The teacher can ask the students first to read quickly to get the main idea or topic sentence of each paragraph, then read carefully to locate particular information for exercises in the part Comprehending or some other exercises, and finally have a discussion o

27、f style in order to understand the passage better. During the course of reading teaching, the teacher can not only develop students reading ability, including skimming, scanning and other reading skills, but also get the students to learn about basic knowledge about earthquakes and learn from the br

28、avery of the people in Tangshan to face the reality and rebuild the city. Because there are too many new words in the reading passage, in order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading.To consolidate the contents of the readin

29、g passage, the students should be required to retell the passage in their own words at the end of the class. In order to arouse the students interest, the teacher can hold a competition between groups.教學(xué)重點(diǎn)1. Get the students to know basic knowledge about natural disasters.2.
