⼈教版⾼中英语必修5单元精品教案Unit4Makingthenew1 Unit 4 Making the newsTopic: The basic procedures of making the news; newspapers; and TV programmesFunctions: Making appointmentsShall we make an appointment? When are you free?Is it possible to….? Where is the best place?What if….? I shall be busy at ….but I can be free at ….When do you……? May be we can meet at……How / what about….? I would like to arrange……..Which day would you like to meet? I suggest that we meet…..Where would you like to meet? That will / won’t be convenient because…..What time would be most convenient? I can / can’t do that because …..Please, can you tell me…? I look forward to seeing you.Grammar: inversionNever will Zhou Yang forget his assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper.Not only am I interested in photography, but….Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all information you need to know.Only then did I begin my work on designing a new bridge.Here comes my list of dos and don’ts…..The first period: Warming up and readingIntroduction:This unit introduces students to the media and how news is collected and published. It begins with a newspaper and how it gathers its information and then continues by examining TV news. This order is deliberate because TV news usually depends upon the stories found in newspaper. But there is an importance between newspapers and TV reporting: the TV reporters and newsmen separate theprimary and secondary sources of information while in a newspaper they are often the same person.The most important stories are put on the front pages.Difficult points:Let students talk about jobs in newspaper and what is needed to work in a newspaper office.Get students to read the passage and understanding it.Have students to learn different reading skills.Important points:Develop students` reading ability.Enable students to talk about what is needed to work in a newspaper office.Step 1 Lead-in1. Show students some pictures and talk about occupations in the world.2. Let students work in groups of four, ask each other these questions and then report their answers to the class.1). Do you like reading English newspaper?2). Which newspaper do you like best?3). What will you do if you are offered a job to work in a newspaper company?Step 2 Warming up and Pre-readingThe aim of this activity is for students to recognize the variety of jobs there are in newspapers.1. Tell students: If you are offered a chance for a job at China daily, you will need to do some research to find2. Let students list other kinds of jobs in newspaper: chief editors, advertising, editors, distribution organizers, salesmen to tell the newspaper, etc.3. Cover a story: This is language used in the newspaper business to mean to go and interview somebody about an incident or happening. It is idiomatic language and can safely be used in everyday speech.To have a “nose” for a story: In newspaper this means to be able to “smell” when somebody is trying to hidea good story that may reflect badly on him/herself. The newspaper reporter who can guess what is happening and finds out the true situation is said to have a good nose. This is a particular idiom and is not frequently used outside a newspaper office.A trick of the trade: this means something that helps you do the job in a professional way. It is a short cut to a good result. This is an idiom that can safely be used in everyday speech.Get all your facts straight: this means to make sure that the story is accurate. It is an everyday idiom.Get the wrong end of the stick: this means that (for some reason) you do not understand what is being said to you. It is a useful idiom.A real “scoop”: A scoop means an important story which your newspaper gets ahead of all the other newspapers. It is a useful idiom.Step 3 ReadingThe reading deals with the first day at work of a new reporter called Zhou Yang. The reading has two aims. First it shows the students the skills necessary to become a good reporter. Second it wants to show how to conduct a good interview. Interviews depend on good questioning. Two rules for interviewing are suggested here: 1) The first question can be prepared before the interview but later questions should be asked according to the answers of the person being interviewed. 2) It is important not to forget what you want to find out from the interviewer. So you must not be distracted by other information that you find out during the interview.1. Fast reading: Read the text fast to get the general idea and then answer the following questions.1). Can I go out on a story immediately?2). What do I need to take with me?3). What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story?4). What mistakes must I avoid?5). Why is listening so important?6). But how can I listen to the answer if I have to write down what he or she is saying?7). Have you ever had a case where somebody accused your reporters of getting the wrong end of the stick?2. Carefully readingGet the students to read the text carefully and get detailed information to answer the questions while listening to the tape. 1). Is it the first job for Zhou Yang to do at the office of a popular English newspaper?2). Can he go out on a story on his own?3). Who will take photographs?4). A good reporter must have a nose. What does this mean?5). Why is listening so important?6). Why is it important to use small recorders when a reporter is interviewing someone?3. Comprehending1). Multiple choice.(1).

They both need to be professional, well-organized and patient. I think I would become a good photographer. Because I am creative and I enjoy being technically good things.Step 4 HomeworkGo through the text and underline the difficult expressions or sentences.Finish the reading task on page 65.The second period: Learning about Language:Important language pointsImportant pints:Enable students to grasp the usage of such important new words and expressions as photograph, concentrate, acquire, assess, inform, accuse, demand, publish, concentrate on, depend on, accuse…of, so as to,.Get students to master the following patterns:Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur course at university….Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know.Here comes my list of dos and don`ts.Difficult points:Let students learn the usage of the word “concentrate” and the expression “so as to do sth”Enable students to learn and master the pattern “Not only am I interested in photography, but I took a course at university…..”Get students to learn and understand some difficult long sentences.Knowledge aims:Important new words and expressions: journalist, editor, photograph, photographer, delighted, admirable, unusual, assist, assistant, submit, profession, colleague, eager, concentrate, amateur, update, acquire, assess, inform, deadline, meanwhile, case, accuse, deliberately, skeptical, guilty, dilemma, demand, publish, section, technical, through, gifted, housewife, crime, concentrate on, depend on, accuse….of, so as to.Get students to learn some long and difficult sentence patterns.Step 1 RevisionCheck the homework exercises.Ask some students to talk about Zhou Yang`s first work assignmentStep 2 Reading and findingGet students to read through Warming up, Pre-reading, Reading and Comprehending to underline all the new words and expressions or collocations in these parts.China Daily, level of education, work experience, communication skills, enthusiasm for the job, unforgettable moments, to strongly influence one`s life, as a journalist, go out on a story, be experienced, cover a story, takephotographs, eager to do, be interested in, concentrate on, not only … but (also), take a amateur course, at university, be curious, only if, inform sb. of, the missing part, keep sth. in mind, dos and don`ts, talk too much, make sure, detailed facts, depend on, take notes, a trick of the trade, get the facts straight, accuse… of, get the wrong end of the stick, take money for, score goals, so as to, body language, tell the truth, stop sb. from doing sth. look forward to, get a scoop, in order to.Let students read and copy them down in the exercise book after class.
