As we all know, in our daily life and study, we may meet all kinds of questions and problems. For example, we may have new words in our reading. Class, please discuss with your partners and find their ways to solve this problem.T: Good. To know the meaning of a new word, we can look up the dictionary, ask the teacher for help and guess its meaning.T: Again, if your teacher asks you to write a report about the usual ways to find the meaning of a new word, what can you do to collect some useful information?Ss: We can ask our partners what are the ways they use to find the word meaning.T: Yes. To collect information we need, we can ask people do some questions and answers. Sometimes we can ask people to tell us whether they agree or disagree to a sentence or a statement.This is called a survey. The questions and statements you ask in your survey are called a questionnaire. There are two kinds of questionnaire. One is in the form of statements, the other is in the form of questions. The following are two examples:Questionnaire (1) shopping habitsTick your level of agreement with the statement below (A stands for Agree, D for Disagree, and N for Not sure). 1 I go shopping in supermarkets.

高中英语 Unit1《Tales of the unexplained》Reading教案4 牛津译林版必修2

Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained Reading boy missing ,policepuzzledResources1. Newspaper articles are often seen as a shortened form of a news report that gives fuller information. The lead, the first paragraph of a news story, plays the most important part in the understanding of the whole story. It is usually a one or two sentence summary of the particular event being reported. The headline and the first paragraph effectively summarize the story's content.There are several advantages in using a newspaper to improve English skills.A newspaper is inexpensive, easily obtained and the materials are authentic. Besides, understanding the news stories relies heavily on the students' knowledge of social and cultural experiences. Newspapers mirror our national values, habits and preferences. Newspaper reading improves the students' overall abilities rather than simply informing them of new information. Students will find time and effort devoted to understanding social and cultural materials rewarding.2. Some newspaper activities that can be used in the classroom.* Encourage students to read the newspaper daily. Ask them what articles they find interesting, and read and discuss those articles with them.*Read the newspaper coverage of a major news story and watch the same story presented on television. Talk about the differences between reading newspapers and watching television news.*Read the newspaper for issues that have some direct effects on students' lives. Locate news stories and opinions in editorials, letters to the editor and editorial columns. Ask students which facts are most important and which opinions are closest to theirs.*Review TV and movie schedules, discussing which shows and movies are appealing and why. Compare reviews with those written by media critics. *Try to find persuasive letters to the editor. Identify and discuss the author's style and tone. Encourage students to respond with their own letters to the editor when they encounter ideas with which they disagree.Step 1: Lead-in1. Some questions about UFODo you know what the three letters UFO stand for?Have you ever heard of the UFOs?Have you ever had the chance to see one?Do you believe the usual sayings about the UFOs?What do you think a UFO is?Do you think there are any creatures on it?Where do you think the creatures come from?Will they become our friends or enemies?2. Today, we’ll come to Reading part. Now I’d like you to look at the pictures on pages 2 and 3 and the title, Boy missing, police puzzled. Can you connect them with each other?Picture 1:Is the first picture a UFO?Are there really UFOs from the outer space?Picture 2:Who was the missing boy?Does he like playing football or baseball?Picture 3:What’s the picture about?Does the bright light outside the window come from a UFO?Does the bright light have something to do with Justin’s missing?(If possible, the teacher may use the projector or macromedia to show the situations in the three pictures and ask the students the same questions as given above. Check answers in pairs. Check the answers with the whole class if you wish.)3. Answer the following questions, focusing on the title of the article, Boy missing, police puzzled.Does the title arouse your interest when you read it?Can you complete the title?What information can you get from the title?What else do you want to know? For example, 'boy missing' (How/When/Where was the boy missing?) 'police puzzled' (Why are they puzzled?/What are the police going to do about the boy's disappearance and how?)Are you curious about why the writer uses an incomplete sentence as the title? Did you know that it is a feature of a news title?What are some other features of a news title?Can you guess what details may be covered in the following news story? Step 2: Fast reading for general ideas1. Before skimming the passage, please look at the news photographs first and describe what is happening in them. Then find the answers to the three questions above the text:1) What is the article about? (The article is about a missing boy/UFOs and aliens.)2) Who is missing? (Justin Foster is missing.)3) Do the police know what happened to Justin? (No.)2. Read the first paragraph carefully to get the main idea and the important facts such as: When and where was the boy missing? What caused the boy's sudden disappearance? How old was the boy? Why did people show interest in his disappearance?3. Now scan the article again and locate specific information according to Parts C1 and C2. Questions 1, 2, 3 and 5 in Part C1 check background information about Justin while Questions 4, 6, 7 and 8 check your comprehension about witnesses, aliens and the case. Part C2 requires you to identify some details to support the main points of the story.Answers to C 1 (p4):1. He lives in Dover, New Hampshire.2. Justin's mother went to bed early because of a headache.3. He plays baseball.4. At 10:45 p.m.5. He has a sister.6. They were white.7. Mavis Wood has been taken by the aliens.8. Detective Sam Peterson was in charge of the case.Step 3: Detailed reading for important information1. Please self-evaluate how well you understand and comprehend the article with the following exercise.At 8 p.m.___________________________________At 10.45 p.m._____________________________Justin Foster At 11 p.m.___________________________________After 11p.m., he was seen_____________________ The next morning, he was found________________shape__________________its appearance colour__________________Strange objects (UFO) size______________________its inside ___________________________________2. Answer the questionsWhere does Justin Foster live ? (He lives in Dover, New Hampshire.)Why did Justin’s mother go to bed early? (Justin’s mother went to bed early because of a headache.)What sports does Justin play? (He plays basketball.)What time did the witness see Justin walking home? (At 10.45 p.m.) Does Justin have any brothers and sisters ? (He has a sister)What colour were the aliens? (They were white.)Who else has been taken by the aliens? (Mavis Wood has been taken by the aliens.)Who is in charge of the case ? (Detective Sam Peterson was in charge of the case.)3. Complete Parts D and E. The meanings of the words in Part D are not difficult for you to identify after you have read through the passage twice. Part E is a diary written by Kelly. It requires you to understand the diary first, and then write down the missing words to make the meaning complete. Answers to D (p4):1. puzzled (title) __ _6___ a say that something is not possible2. due to (line 6) ___8___ b making people believe something is true3. show up (line 23) 5 c frightening or unpleasant dreams4. wirnesses (line 32) 2 d because of5. nightmares (line 68) 3 e appear or arrive6. rule out (line 73) 7 f invent (a story)7. make up (line 76) 1 g unable to understand8. convincing (line 81) 4 h people who saw an accident and can describe it to othersAnswers to E (p5):Justin has been missing for two weeks now. I miss him a lot. I’m worried that something bad has happened to him. I’m sure he came home that night at around 11 p.m. I heard him out on his favourite CD. I wonder where the alliens with large black eyes have taken him.Mavis told me that creatures from outer space took her away a few years ago. They did some research on her. The whole experience was very frightening, just like a nightmare ,but at least they returned her home. I hope they will return Justin soon.The police are not making much progress. They are very puzzled . Now they are searching for other witnesses . They say Justin might have been murdered . Dad is very disappoitned with them. He thinks they are not doing their job properly. Mum is really worried too. She can’t sleep well. I hope Justin will come home soon and tell us what happened to him. I want all of us to be together again.3. Having read the text, please pay attention to the different features of each paragraph.1) First let’s have a discussion about how we usually decide whether a news article is worth reading or not and what methods we use in our reading.As we all know, newspapers play an important part in our daily life. Wherever you are, you can be informed of the latest news by reading a newspaper. From your experience, how do you usually select the news you’d like to read, by taking a look at its title or being attracted by its colorful pictures? Every one of you can express your own opinions and give the reasons.2) Compared with the other paragraphs, is the first paragraph the most important one in the article? Please describe the differences between the first paragraph of the article and the paragraphs that follow.3) You are asked to read the Reading strategy ‘reading a newspaper article’. Pay attention that both the title and the first paragraph, which is called the lead paragraph, play a key role in your understanding of news articles. Step 4: Post-reading activities1. Retell the story according to the diagram on page 6. I’ll write down some key words and phrases on the blackboard or the overhead projector for you to refer to in case you need help.2. Suppose you are a writer. Please give an ending to the story. Though the police have made efforts to investigate the case. Justin's disappearance remains a mystery.

He walked up to me and said, ‘Now, I’m taking you to a new place.’ With that, he led me into the UFO and we flew to the Moon and then to Mars. Just as I began to enjoy the ride, the alien brought out a torch. All of a sudden, a strong beam shone in my eyes.I had to keep my eyes shut to avoid the light. Guess what? It was sunlight shining on my bed. What a dream!Yours truly,Robert。

单元:Unit1 Tales of the unexplained
板块:project
Thoughts on the design:
本课是在以本单元前阶段学习中所涉及到的世界未解之谜为背景知识和铺垫,以喜马拉雅山上的野人为主题继续深化本单元的主题,与此同时,使学生由了解学习过渡为围绕世界之谜主题撰写奇妙故事,因此,若要自然且较高质量地完成此任务,本课的第一阶段则涉及对前部分的相关内容进行简要复习,进而引出雪人话题。
分析结构和内容是本课的第一重点,通过系列问题分别来提高学生泛读和精读的能力。
亲自撰写故事的目的是让学生学以致用并提高写作和听说能力,其准备阶段是本课的第二重点,本课的设计中包含了对该环节的一些表格提示,以适当减轻难度并使学生思路清晰。
本课充分体现课堂“以学生为中心”的思想。
Teaching aims:
After learning the text, the students will be able to improve integrating skills including reading and writing. Question-and-answer activity aims to help the students understand the passage better. Pair work and group work are designed to make the students enhance team spirits. Meanwhile, students’knowledge on world mysteries will be propounded.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Revision and brainstorm
1. The whole lesson is brought by a famous saying by Albert Einstein
“The most beautiful thing one can experience is mysteries. They are truly the basis of all arts and sciences.”
用爱因斯坦关于本课主题的一句名言作为本课的开篇,简洁干练,具有一定深度和说服力,且对于学生来说有吸引力,自然过渡到本单元前阶段所涉及到的话题,进行简要复习。
2. Picture presentation
Ask the students to review former lessons about UFOs, the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge and the Loch Ness Monster.
通过图片提示进行简要复习,并把学生的思维带入本单元的“世界之谜”主题,为“喜马拉雅山的野人”讨论预热。
3. A brief introduction to Yetis and teh Wild Man of Shennongjia
在学习文章之前,向学生介绍一些关于野人的背景知识,如果是用自己班级上课,可以提前布置学生在课下就感兴趣的相关话题,搜集资料,在课堂上的本环节中分享和介绍。
Step 2 Listening and Reading
1.Ask the students to listen to the recorder, while listening, read after the tape as fluently as possible. Then answer the following questions: Q1: In which year were Yetis seen?
Q2: Where have Yetis or similar creatures been seen?
Q3: What has been reported about Yetis?
Q4: What do scientists think of Yetis?
2. Ask the students to discuss the answers among themselves, and then check the answers.
Key1: In 1998.
Key2: Yetis have been seen on the Chinese side of the Himalayas and in the Shennongjia National Forest Park in western Hubei Province.
Key3: man-like, heavily built, hairy-black fur, huge shoulders, 6 feet tall, long arm, large hands, large feet, run with amazing speed and strength, walk like a man, attack people. (key words)
Key4: Some scientists think that these footprints are not left by Yetis. Some scientists even think that these footprints could have been made by people playing jokes. And they hope that the mystery will be solved someday.
3. Ask the students to read the passage by themselves in detail, and then give a brief analysis of the structure and the general idea of each paragraph.
Para 1
Sighting of Yetis are reported
Para 2-4
Witnesses gave similar descriptions of Yetis and the Wild Man of Shennongjia.
Para5
Scientists’ opinions of their existence are divided.
Para 6。
