牛津高中英语教案-模块二-Unit1-Tales-of-the-unexpla inedUnit 1 Tales of the unexplainedPeriod Three, Word powerHow can a space shuttle be sent into space?Can it fly into space by itself?With these two questions, you should focus on reading the poster the scientist is showing to you. By the way, do you know the differences between spaceship and space shuttle?▲A spaceship is a vehicle for carrying people through space.▲A space shuttle is a vehicle that is designed to carry people into space and back to the Earth several times to do experiments.Period four, Grammar and UsagePresent perfect tense1. Use different methods to present the present perfect tense. Here are some ideas:1) Please look at the screen. Pay attention to the different forms of the verbs:2) Let’s complete the following sentences, in which the predicate part is missing.We_____(study) English for about five years.They_____(live) in the south since their daughter was born.I_______ (read) your article three times.It's well written.The student________(finish) her homework already.Eric__________(go) back to his hometown today.Answers: have studied have livedhave read has finished has gone3) Read the following sentences and point out what tense or tenses are used in them and the reasons why they are used.We have studied English for about five years. We began to study it five years ago.They moved to the south in 1990 and have lived there since then.The student is doing her homework. She hasn't finished it yet.Eric left home last year and has just come back.2. We may wonder why some verbs can't be used in the present perfect tense. Let’s read the following sentences, and try to find different usages of some verbs.Justin has been away from home for several days. He disappeared last Friday.They bought this house three years ago and they have lived here since then.My brother went to see my grandpa last week. He has visited him three times this month.So you see when an action happens over a period of time that began in the past and continues to the present, the present perfect tense is often used. When an action happened at a definite time in the past, the past simple tense is often used.3. Read Points 1 and 2 on page 8 to make sure why the present perfect tense is used in these two sentences.4. Go over Point 3 on page 8 to learn what time expressions can be used with the present perfect tense. Pay attention to the different usages between already and yet, or for and since.5. Read Point 4 on page 8 to learn that the present perfect tense can be used in a situation where the action was completed only a moment ago. In this case, just is used.6. Go over Points 5 and 6 on page 8 and note that when we want to express a repeated action, we use the present perfect tense with the time expressions once/twice/three times ...7. Let’s read the diary entry and then complete it using the correct forms of the verbs in brackets.Answers:(2) saw (3) has visited (4) loves (5) hasn't visited (6) has swum (7) has never met(8) has dived (9) has found (10) hasn't found (11) Has, beenSummary of The Present Perfect tense:1.We use the present perfect tense to talk about things that happened in therecent past, but are connected to the present.Daniel has lived(live) in Beijing since he came to China.(Connection with the past: Daniel came to China. Connection with the present: Daniel is living in China.)2.We use the present perfect tense to talk about something that started in thepast, and is still happening now.came has lived________________________________________past now future3.We use the present perfect tense to talk about actions that were completed onlya short time ago.I went to Egypt in 1986. I went to Egypt in 2004.I have been (be) to Egypt twice.4.We can also use the present perfect tense for repeated actions.Has it ever snowed(snow) in Hong Kong?No, it has never snowed(snow) there.5.We use the present perfect tense when the exact time of an action is not clear orimportant. We use it with time expressions such as: already, ever, for, just, lately, never, recently, since, yetNotes:1. We use already for affirmative statements and yet for negative statementsand interrogative sentences.2. We use for + a period of time and since + a point of time.3. Structures connected with the present perfect tense:1) It is (has been) +a period of time +since-clause.2) This (That/It) is the first (second…) time + that-clause (presentperfect tense).3) This (That/It) is the only ) … + that-clause (present perfect tense).4) This (That/It) is the best/ finest /most interesting … + that-clause ResourcesThe present perfect-Three hours ago she baked a cake. And since then let’s see…-…She’s already made the beds, written a letter, gone shopping, and cooked dinner.-And now she’s just answered the telephone for the fifth time.English has a verb tense, the present perfect, which serves to denote past happenings that are relevant to, or that still have an effect at, the moment of speaking. This tense, formed with the present of have plus a past participle (answered, cooked, gone, written, made, and so on), is really a combination of present and past together. Notice the kinds of adverbs and adverbial phrases that are closely associated with the present perfect.He’s been a succes s now, I would say, since 1990.And now he’s just decided to enter politics.The simple past, denoting past happenings that are localized in the past, contrasts sharply with the present perfect, as can be seen best by the kinds of “time” adverbials that may be used with one tense but not with the other.Simple PastPresent Perfectyesterdaysince thenan hour agoso farI learned a new song last nightI’ve learned another nowon Mondayin the last houralreadynownowthen ×then then ×then(past) (future)(past) (future)o the past (Attention is drawn to the present knowledgetook place.) of the song and not on the previous act of learning it.)Therefore, do not say things like “I’ve learned a new song yesterday”, which is a very commonmistake.The speaker chooses among these and othertenses in part according to how he feels himself related to the event.Present perfect continuous tenseHere we will look at two situations in which the present perfect continuous tense is used. Notehow the tense is formed and try to understandhow the tense is used in sentences. We willpractise forming verbs in this tense and complete sentences.1. We sometimes use the present perfect continuous tense to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing, or have just finished but are still connected to the present in some way. For example,I've been waiting for an hour and he still hasn't turned up.I'm so sorry I'm late. Have you been waiting long?2. Go over Points 1 and 2 on page 9 to understand this tense better.3. Go over Point 3 to see how the tense is formed.4. Fill in the missing words. Pay attention to the verb form in the example given in the first picture (all the verb forms here are the present perfect continuous tense, except for the one in Sentence 5). It is a trap and does not require the present perfect continuous tense.Answers:(2) have been talking (3) have been taking (4) have been watching (5) have seen(6) have been writing5. Do with Part C1 on page 82 in Workbook to become familiar with the present perfect tense and the present perfect continuous tense.Present perfect or present perfect continuous?1. Go over Point I on page 10 to identify why the two different tenses are used in the two sentences.In the first sentence, the present perfect tense is used, which means that the action read isn't continuing, and Li Jia knows what the book is about now. In the second sentence, the present perfect continuous tense is used, which means that the action read is still continuing.2. Go over Point 2 on page 10. Note that the present perfect continuous tense can't be used with time expressions such as twice or how many times, because in this tense the action is continuous, not stopped and then started again.3. Go over Point 3 on page 10 to define the meaning of a state verb or an action verb. Note that a state verb doesn't mean an action, so it can't be used in a continuous tense.4. Note that the present perfect continuous tense can't be used when the words always, never, yet, already or ever are used in a sentence.5. Finish the two exercises on page 11. Answers:A (1) heard (2)been doing (3) been researching(4) been doing (5) started (6) done (7) read (8) found (9) started (10) been doing (11) been makingSample answers:B 1. He has been waiting at an underground station.2. They have been traveling in a UFO. It looks like a saucer. (Answers may be various.)3. They probably have talked to animals or plants on the Earth as well as creatures on other planets. (Answers may be various.)4. They have visited Mars, Venus, Jupiter and some other planets. (Answers may be various.)6. Do with Part C2 on page 82 in Workbook to have one more chance to practise the usage of the two different tenses.ResourceThe Present Perfect Continuous-I still haven’t figured out how she does it all.-I haven’t either, and I’ve been trying now for ten years.The present perfect tense, like the simple present and the simple past, has a continuous form as well. The effect of the present perfect continuous is to make past happenings continuous throughout a time span extending up to the present:Simple Past: I learned a new song (three hours ago).nowHoursthen ×then(past)(future)(past event accomplished, specific time)Present Perfect: I’ve learned another now (in the past few hours).nowHoursthen ×then(past)(future)(past event accomplished, present relevance)Present Perfect Continuous: I’ve been learning still another now (for the past hour).nowHoursthen ×then(past)(future)(past event not necessarily accomplished, present relevance, possibly still going on at the moment of speaking)Verbs denoting action that can only be momentary or instantaneous (knock, hit, sneeze, interrupt, introducing, and so on) can also occur in the continuous. The meaning, however, is then one of repetition:You’ve been interrupting me now ( for the past five minutes).nowthen ×then(past) (future) Although this class of verbs also includes arrive, leave, come, go, and so on, the “repetition” with the verbs just mentioned cannot be effected by one person alone: The guests haven been arriving now for an hour. But not “The guest has been arriving now for an hour. ConsolidationI. Relative items in recent years’ college entrance examinations:1.

牛津译林版高中英语必修2Unit 1Tales of the unexplainedWelcome to the unit教案5
Unit 1《Tales of the unexplained》Welcome to the UnitDescriptionIn this section, students will be asked to talk about the following phenomena, including traces of UFO, real existences of Yeti and the Loch Ness monster, reasons for building Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid and disappearances of ships and planes in the Bermuda.All these have a common characteristic, that is, no evidences or proofs have been provided to explain the mysterious phenomena. Students are expected to make full use of resources and share their imaginative ideas with each other by participating in all the activities.Suggested teaching proceduresBrainstorming1 ( before taking up the task)The teacher assigns students a task, that is, all of them are required to surf the net or refer to some reference books, in English or in Chinese to get some information about UFO, Yeti, the Loch Monster, Bermuda, Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid. The activity can be conducted like this:The topics we are going to deal with in our next period are not only very interesting and attractive, but a bit mysterious as well. They are beyond our knowledge. Even the advanced science and technology of today cannot offer satisfactory answers, so I recommend if we’d like to discuss these topics, it is best for all of us to make preparations first, either by searching for information on the Internet or looking up background information in some books. Besides collecting information, you have to note down your answers. It’ll be more convenient for you to report back your answers if you do so.2 ( focusing on the pictures )a Ask students to read the instructions and focus on the six pictures and illustrationsindividually first. The teacher can arouse their interest by asking them the following questions:Do the six pictures have something in common? What is it?(unexplained; no satisfactory answers; mysterious; no evidences…)Can scientists explain these phenomena?How do you feel about them? Are you a bit curious?b Ask students to think of as many expressions as possible to answer the above questions,encourage them to make up sentences and report back their answers. The teacher can share the following sentences with students.They are mysterious because no satisfactory answers have been offered to explain their reasons.Though these mysteries have puzzled people for a long time, people show great interest in them.People feel puzzled due to their mysteries.c Ask students to report back the information they have collected. As students have beenrequired to prepare for the topics, their answers might be various. The teacher can vary the activities according to students’ responses. If possible, some answers students provide can be used as a prompt for a class discussion. For example:Teacher: What information have you got about UFO?Student A: ... ……Teacher: Do you think student A’s introduction interesting? What about the information you’ve got? Is there something different?Student B: ………This activity can be conducted flexibly.d Ask students to have a discussion about the topics by exploring some other activities. Inorder to conduct them more conveniently, the teacher can arrange numbers from left to right, from top to bottom first. For example:(Picture 1) Have you ever read some reports about UFO in Chinese? Are you interested in it?Is it really from another planet? What does UFO stand for?For what reasons do you think UFO visits our planet?(Picture 2) Where is Himalayas? What’s the weather like there?Why do some people make great efforts to climb it? (hobby; dream;challenge themselves; make discoveries; overcome …)Yeti is reported to be half-man and half-beast, have you heard of it?Do you think some climbers’disappearance have some connections withYeti?(Pictures3, 4 and 6) Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Egypt are both cultural relics.Where is the Great Pyramid built, on the east coast of the Nile or on the westof it? What are its reasons?Do you think the Great Pyramid a wonder in the human history? How was theGreat Pyramid built?I haven’t heard of Stonehenge or the Ness Monster. They are a bit new to me.What about you? Will you be interested in making discoveries about themwhen you grow up?(Picture 5) While talking about picture 4, the teacher can show a map to the students and point to them clearly where Florida and the Bermuda Florida are on the map.Are there any monsters in these areas?Why do ships or planes disappear in this area? Do you think it is toomysterious?Suppose there is a ship equipped with the latest scientific equipment and it canmake contact with scientists on land at any time, do you think it will bepossible to solve the mysteries?Sharing information1 Pair students up first. Let different pairs focus on different questions. If possible, the firstquestion can be adapted easily like this:Do you believe in UFOs? What may be the explanations of UFOs?——Aliens from space without a doubt——Military test craft without a doubt——Some UFOs are alien, some are test craft——UFOs are evidence of human space travel——UFOs are neither alien nor test craft——UFOs don't existEncourage students to express their agreements or disagreements about it.2 Ask different pairs to summarize their answers and then report them back.Sample answers1 Like any other intelligent and rationale person, I have a firm belief in UFOs. In fact, I have seen a few myself. UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, that is, an object, apparently moving in the sky, that we cannot identify. However, if you ask me whether I believe spacecraft carrying visitors from outer space, I would say ‘no’. I do not believe it.2 The continent of Antarctica was discovered in 1818. A map known as the 'Piri Reis' Map, a genuine document made in Constantinople in 1513, clearly shows the continent of Antarctica. How could this have been possible if Antarctica was not discovered until 300 years later? Antarctica was supposed to have been covered by ice for the last million or so years, but samples taken from sediment deep beneath Antarctica in 1949 revealed that great rivers had once flowed in Antarctica until about 6000 years ago.3 I’m always interested in the stories of UFOs and aliens. And I hope I will have the chance to meet one some day. If it really happens to me, I will ask questions such as ‘who or what are you?’ ‘Where are you from?’ ‘How long does it take to travel from your place to our planet?’ I will try my best to communicate with them, discovering what their life is like and why they come to the earth.Resources(Picture 1) The following is a description from a witness: The light was travelling west to northeast. They were saying it then changed direction from west to southeast. There was no colour, just bright light like a large spotlight. At first my husband thought it was a helicopter with a spotlight, but there was no noise. It seemed to move in a slow, steady speed. From my perspective it ch anged direction at the last moment.’ For more information, you can surf the following web-site:/~geibdan/framemst.html(Picture 2) The Yeti has lived in the Himalayas as a mystery for many years. Known as "therock living animal" in Sherpa, and as "the abominable snowman" in the west, the sightings of Yeti have been reported since the late 1800s. The following website gives you more information /(Picture 3) Loch Ness is a vast and beautiful body of water. Although Nessie was sighted as far back as the 6th century AD, it is the modern day sightings that have attracted the public imagination. For more information you can surf the following website : /livecam/(Picture 4) The huge three-sided section of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida, did not receive its famous nickname until 1964, but reports of strange happenings there, or nearby, have been recorded for centuries. The following website tells you more: /Tidings/myths/bermuda.html(Picture 5)Stonehenge is surely Britain's greatest national icon, standing for mystery, power and endurance. Its original purpose is unclear to us, but some have guessed that it was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth god or goddess. For more information, you can surf the following website: /earthmysteries/EMStonehenge.html(Picture 6) The Great Pyramid of Khufu is a typical example of the knowledge and experience of all previous pyramids, and it is the only surviving member of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World. The following website tells you more: /buildings/Great_Pyramid.htmlReadingDescriptionThe article is a news story about a boy’s strange disappearance. Though a lot of efforts have been made to investigate the case, it still remains a mystery. How to read a news article is designed and presented. All the activities are involved with checking and enhancing students’reading abilities. Students are expected to gain an overall understanding of the article and learn to read in different ways according to the type of the article.Suggested teaching procedures●Lead-inAsk students the following questions by having them focus 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?From the title what information can you get? And what else do you want to know? For example:‘boy missing’( How / When / Where was the boy missing? )‘police puzzled’( For what are they puzzled? / What are the police going to do with the boy’s disappearance and how?)Are you curious about why the writer uses a non-complete sentence as a title? Do you know it’s a feature of a news title? What are the other features of a news title?Can you guess what details may be covered in the following news story?●Reading comprehension1 Before asking students to skim the passage, let them look at the news photographs first anddescribe as much as possible what is happening in the photograph. And then let them find answers to the questions in A.Answers 1 The article is about a missing boy / UFOs and aliens.2 Justin Foster is missing.3 No.2 Ask students to recall the question in Lead-in and ask them if they have got specific answers to “How / When / Where was the boy missing?”The teacher can guide students to pay attention to the first paragraph, as all the relevant information is in the first paragraph. Tell them the first paragraph gives the main topic and most important facts. The followings are all covered.When and where was the boy missing?What caused the boy’s sudden disappearance?How old was the boy?Why do people show interest in his disappearance?3 Ask students to scan the article again and locate specific information according to C1 and C2. The first three questions in C1 check some background information about Justin while Questions4 and5 check students’comprehension about aliens. C2 requires students to identify some details to support the main points of the story. Ask students to complete the exercises individually and check them as a class. If there are disagreements, welcome them. The teacher can ask students to distinguish between facts and opinions about Justin Foster.

The following question can be used to begin with the activity first.As is known to all, newspapers play an important part in our daily life. Whenever or wherever you are, you can be informed of the latest news by reading a newspaper. From your own experience, how do you usually select the news you’d like to read, by taking a look at its title or by being attracted by its colourful pictures?Encourage students to express their own opinions and their reasons.b Ask students to tell the differences between the first paragraph of the article and thefollowing paragraphs.

Though the police have made efforts toinvestigate the case, how Justin was missing remained a mystery. Was he really seized by aliens or were there any other reasons? If time doesn’t permit, the teacher can assign this activity as homework. The teacher can begin like this:All the people are concerned about Justin’s disappearance. What do you think might have happened to him?Was he in danger?

Let students do some speakingpractice according to the sample.Resources1 Newspaper articles are often seen as shortened forms of news report that gives full 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, because so much information are usually put into a small space, and some complex sentences are generally used in the first paragraph. The headline and first paragraph effectively summarize the story’s content.The teacher can encourage students to read English newspapers. There are several advantages of using a newspaper to improve our English. A newspaper is inexpensive, easily obtained and the materials are authentic. Besides, understanding the news stories rely on the students’ knowledge of social and cultural experience. Newspapers mirror our national values, habits and preferences. Newspaper reading is more like the overall improvement of students’ abilities than being simply informed of new information. Students will find time and efforts devoted to understanding the social and cultural materials rewarding.2 Following are some newspaper activities the teacher can utilize in their teaching:a Encourage students to read the newspaper daily. Ask them what articles they find interestingand read and discuss those articles with them.b Read newspaper coverage of a major news story and watch the same story presented ontelevision. Talk about the differences between reading newspapers and watching television news.c Read the newspaper for issues that have some direct effect on students’ famil ies.

Ask students which facts are most important and which opinions are closest to theirs.d Review TV and movie schedules, discussing which shows and movies are appealing andwhy. Compare reviews with those written by media critics.e Ask students to find persuasive letters to the editor. Ide ntify and discuss the author’s styleand tone. Encourage studnets to respond with their own letters to the editor when they encounter ideas with which they disagree.。
