Unit 1 Tales of the unexplainedReading 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. pare 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 e from?Will they bee our friends or enemies?2. Today, we’ll e 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 e 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 plete 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 inplete 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 prehension 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.

(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. plete 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 plete.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 b een missing for two weeks now.

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 e 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 u sually 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.

It was sunlight shining on my bed. What a dream!Yours truly,Robert。

Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained Reading 教学设计1单元：Unit1 Tales of the unexplained板块：Reading1设计思路：本节课为阅读课的第一课时，主要是解决对课文内容的理解和学习有关阅读技巧。
本文的体裁是新闻报道，采用新闻报告的常规要点为切入口，从title和五个“W”一个“H”这几个方面构画出新闻报道清晰的框架结构并教学生如何阅读此类文章，如何在此类文章中捕捉所需要的信息。
教学方法还是通过预测、略读和寻读等常规技巧，帮助学生了解课文内容。
教学步骤的设计以培养说、读、写能力为主。
(PPT3)Teaching aims:After learning the passage, students will be able to know typical writing features in news articles and learn how to read a newspaper article and how to get the important information in it, thus reinforcing their reading abilities in reading this kind of material. Besides, students should be encouraged to express themselves in both written and oral English so that their language learning abilities can be enhanced.Teaching procedures:Step 1 Lead-in● Warm-up questions:1. Do you often read newspapers? (often, seldom…)2. How do you select the news you like to read, by taking a look at its title or by being attracted by its colorful pictures?1.3. Have you ever noticed there are differences in writing styles between newspaper articles and other kind of articles you read?4. Can you tell me the feature of a news title? Let's take the passage we’re going to learn as an example, the title is “Boy missing, police puzzled”, what’s special? (The title of a news story is usually incomplete, attractive, exact and direct …)5. Can you complete the title? (“A boy is missing, and the police are puzzled”)6. What information can you get from the title? (How/when/where was the boy missing?;why are the police puzzled?). Tell the students a news story will cover such details as what, when, where, who, how and why about a certain event.—PPT5[设计说明]通过问题的提出让学生对要学的文体特点先有个粗略的了解，同时希望能激发学生对马上要学的内容的兴趣。
● Pair work: —PPT6Now look at the pictures from our reading text and connec t them with the topic “Boy missing, police puzzled”. Use your imagination and guess what happened in the story according to the information we get from the topic and the pictures. —PPT Work with your partner and then share your story with the rest of the class.[设计说明]鼓励学生发挥想象力，激发学生对要学内容的兴趣。
● Summary:I'm sure you definitely want to know what really happened in the news story to check your imagination, but before reading the story, I should tell you how a news story is organized so that you may catch the important information in it more easily.Step 2 Reading strategy: (PPT7-9)Learn the structure of a news story and teach the reading skills of news stories.1. The structure of a news story● the title: to give a general idea of the news● the first paragraph: t o give the main topic and the most important facts like when, where, who, what, why and how about the event;● the second paragraph: to give more important facts● the following paragraphs: to give detailed but less important background information2. The reading skills of news stories● For general ideas, read the topic if any and the first one or two paragraphs; for details，read the rest of the story.[设计说明]在学习课文内容之前先教阅读策略与技巧，然后鼓励学生运用刚才学习的技巧去阅读，方便教师了解学生对该技巧的掌握情况，也有利于培养学生的阅读技巧和促进学生阅读理解能力的提高。
Step 3 Skimming& Scanning1. Tell the students it’s time for them to check their imagination of the story. Ask the whole class to skim and scan the passage, trying to find the answers to the following. (PPT10)● Boy missing, police puzzled it’s about ________●the first paragraph: when______; where_______; who________; what________; how______; why________●the following paragraphs: evidence given by______________2. Ask how many of the students guessed the story right at the beginning of the class. Tell the students to attach importance to news titles if any while reading news stories.[设计说明]希望以此练习来帮助巩固前面所学的阅读技巧之一，即让学生明白如何捕捉新闻类文章的大意，那就是抓住文章开头，尤其是第一节。
另外，要向学生强调新闻类文章标题的特点。
Step 4 Detailed reading1. Since every news story will have details to support the main points in them. Get the students to read the passage carefully and find the supporting details. (PPT11)● Read paragraph 2 and find the main idea as well as the supporting details:Main idea:Supporting details: Mrs. Foster thoughtMr. Foster was surprisedJustin Foster(Justin Foster went missing; he was spending the night with a friend; that his son did not tell anyone that he was staying out late; did not show up at the family lunch the next day.)● Read paragraphs 3&4 and find the main idea as well as the supporting details :( PPT12)Main idea:Supporting details: Justin’s friends saidWitnesses saidKelly heard( The police found that Justin returned home; that Justin went home after playing baseball with them; that they saw Justin walking towards his home at 10:45 p.m; him put on his favorite CD after he went to his room.)● Read paragraphs 5&7 and find the main idea as well as the supporting details :( PPT13)Main idea:Supporting details: Kelly sawKelly heardMavis Wood said(The boy was taken away by aliens; a large spaceship flying outside; Justin shout; that the aliens took her away so that they could do scientific research on her.)2. Find the best answers to the following questions :( PPT14-18)(1)The reason why people were interested in the disappearance of the boy is that __C___.A. The lost boy was 15 years old.B. The police advised them to do so.C. The disappearance might have something to do with the UFO and the alien.D. All of the above.(2)In the second paragraph, “show up” means _____A____.A．Arrive or appearB．ReachC．DisappearD．Reach for(3)We can infer that the boy might go missing ___A______.A．In his own roomB．On the playgroundC．In Kelly’s roomD．In his brother’s room(4)What is the attitude of the police to the disappearance of the boy? ___D____A．They can’t make sure that Justin was taken away by aliens.B．They think it possible for some people to make up an amazing story.C．They are looking at other possibilities, such as murder.D．All of the above.(5)We can know ___B____.A．The police have known the cause of the boy’s disappearanceB．The police haven’t found convincing evidence about the boy’s disappearanceC．The police will catch the aliens who took away the boyD．The police won’t get any information about the boy’s disappearance.[设计说明]希望通过此环节让学生了解一下与此故事相关的一些细节，并学会如何根据细节来进行归纳、推断，培养学生的阅读理解能力。
