Unit 2 RobotsPart 1 Teaching Design 第一部分教学设计Period 2 A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language(Revise the passive voice including the infinitive)IntroductionIn this period students will be first helped by the teacher to discover and learn to use some useful words and collocations, and then to discover and revise the passive voice including the infinitive. The following steps of teaching may be taken: warming up by having a dictation, discovering useful words and collocations, reading more about the 22nd century, learning about the passive voice, discovering useful structures and closing down by putting on stage a text play of Satisfaction Guaranteed.ObjectivesTo help students revise the passive voiceTo help students discover and learn to use some useful words and collocationsTo help students discover and learn to use some useful structuresProcedures1. Warming up by having a dictationTo begin with, let’s take a dictation to strengthen our memory of the text.Larry Belmont worked for a company that make robot. Recently a robot that could do housework would be tested out Larry's life, Clair, for three weeks. Clair felt alarmed by the robot's humanly appearance. Before long she began to trust him. She told him that she and her home were not elegant enough for her husband and she envied the rich and powerful woman .The robot decided to protect her from being harm. He gave her a new haircut and changed her makeup and asked her to buy something to decorate her home. Before the night he was to leave Clair, they held a party. The guests were impressed by Clair and her home, especially by the handsome robot, whom they thought was her husband. Claire knew this is almost a dream and she felt very sad. However, the company was very satisfied with Tony, the robot although he needed rebuilding because it is absurd to have women falling in love with a machine.2. Discovering useful words and collocationsA collocation is two or more words that often go together. These combinations just sound "right" to native English speakers, who use them all the time.While going over the text, try to recognize the collocations, treat them as single blocks of language and copy them out into your Collocation Book.Now go to page 13. Work in pairs to finish the three exercises in 10 minutes.3.

多么棒的发明!British scientists have invented a set of robotic arms。
They can cook meals for you.The price of the device is about ￡ 10，000. It includes an oven,a hob，a dishwasher and a sink.Scientists spent almost 18 years developing the hands. Each hand is governed by 24 motors, 26 micro.controllers and 129 sensors。
The arms can chop and stir to recreate almost anything you would like to eat. The food may be a simple home。
cooked supper, or a wonderful dinner designed by a world class chef。
The hands move a little slowly. Whenever they aren't busy, they may hang strangely above the work surface. They can imitate human movements such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips。
The arms will tuck up when not in use,making space for their owners.People can train the robotic arms to cook their favorite family recipes by showing them a few times while wearing high。

⼈教版⾼中英语选修7Unit2教案1 Unit 2 RobotsPart 1 Teaching Design第⼀部分教学设计Period 1 A sample lesson plan for reading(Satisfaction Guaranteed) IntroductionIn this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to read for forms, copy collocations and write articles. Then they shall question and answer, read the text again to discover the leading sentence of each paragraph, and read the text for its type of writing and summary of Satisfaction Guaranteed. The class is to end by students reading a robot poem.ObjectivesTo help students understand the text’s forms and contents and learn about robotsTo help students communicate on the topic in focus with the words, collocations and structures learned in this unitFocusAidsMultimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagrams Procedures1. Warming up by getting to know w hat a robot isHello, class. When you hear the word "robot", you probably get a picture in your mind of a clever mechanical man, perhaps R2D2 or C3PO from the movie Star Wars. That is how most people think of robots, but the robots that really exist today are quite different from the robots of comic books, cartoons, and science fiction films and books.Robots come in many shape and sizes and have many different abilities. Basically, a robot is simply a computer with some sort of mechanical body designed to do a particular job. Usually, it is able to move and has one or more electronic senses. These senses are not nearly as powerful as our own senses of sight and hearing. However, scientists and engineers are working hard to improve robots. They are constantly coming up with ways to make them see, hear and respond to the environment around them.Robots have a lot to do with our lives. Now let’s go to page 11 to read an article about robot s and our lives.2. Pre-reading by talking about the three Laws of RoboticsRobots are coming into our lives. Then we are worried about being controlled by robots some day in the future. Don’t worry. We have rules for robots.3. Reading for formsRead the text Satisfaction Guaranteed again to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful collocations.4. Copying collocations and writing articlesA collocation is two or more words that often go together. These combinations just sound "right" to native English speakers, who use them all the time.While going over the text, try to recognize the collocations, treat them as single blocks of language and copy them out into your Collocation Book.5. Questioning and answeringNow let’s go over the text again by questioning and answering. Satisfaction GuaranteedA: What did Larry Belmont work for?B: Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots.A: What was the company experimenting with recently?B: Recently it was experimenting with a robot that could be used todo the housework.A: By whom was it going to be tested out?B:It was going to be tested out by Larry’s wife, Claire.A:Why didn’t Claire want the robot in her house?B:Claire didn’t want the robot in her house, especially as her husbandwould be absent for three weeksA: How did Claire feel when she first saw the robot?B: When she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed.A: What was the robot like?B:The robot, called Tony, didn’t look like a machine at all. He was tall and handsome although his facial expressions never changed. His hair was smooth and black and his voice was deep.A: What did the robot do the second morning?B: On the second morning Tony brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing.A: How did Claire react?B:She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human.A: What did Claire mention one day?B:One day, Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever.A: And what did Tony, the robot, say to her?B: Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that.A:How did Claire feel about a robot’s sympathy?B: Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot.…6. Reading the text again to discover the topic sentence of each paragraphA well-organized paragraph supports or develops a single controlling idea, which is expressed in a sentence called the topic sentence. A topic sentence has several important functions: it substantiates or supports an essay’s thesis statement; it unifies the content of a paragraph and directs the order of the sentences; and it advises the reader of the subject to be discussed and how the paragraph will discuss it. Now read the text again to discover the leading sentence of each paragraph.7. Reading the text for its type of writing and summary of Satisfaction GuaranteedThere are words that signal a text's organizational structure. If you are struggling with how to make sense of what you're reading, you must increase your sensitivity to the particular word s.Determining the type of writing will help you determine the author’s topic (subject), purpose (why he is writing), style (how he should write) and tone (his attitude toward his subject - supportive, condeming, objective, etc.)It is important to find main ideas when reading. Main ideas help you remember important information. The main idea of a paragraph tells the topic of the paragraph. The topic tells what all or most of the sentences are about. The other sentences in the paragraph are called details. Details describe or explain the main idea. Read the text to find the main idea.Now go over the text for its type of writing and summary of Satisfaction Guaranteed.Type of writing A narrationMain idea of 1st paragraph A robot that could be used to do the housework was going to betested out by Larry’s wife, Claire.Main idea of 2nd paragraph The robot, called Tony, was tall and handsome, his hair beingsmooth and black and his voice being deep.Main idea of 3rd paragraph Tony was disturbing and frightening to Claire that he looked sohuman.Main idea of 4th paragraph Claire began to trust Tony.Main idea of 5th paragraph Claire was amazed by Tonny’s fingernails and the softness andwarmth of his skin.Main idea of 6th paragraph Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a ―dear’.Main idea of 7th paragraph Tony suggested that Claire invite Gladys and her friends to the house.Main idea of 8th paragraph Tony held Claire firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body.Main idea of 9th paragraph Tony folded his arms around Claire, bending his face close to hers.Main idea of 10th paragraph Claire heard Cladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony.Main idea of 11th paragraph The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.Main idea of 12th paragraph Even though Tony had been so clever, he would have to be rebuilt—you cannot have women falling in love with machines.8. Closing down by reading a robot poemMy Robot Does My HomeworkMy robot does my homework.He helps me every night.The trouble is he doesn't gettoo many answers right.He'd probably do betterat homework but, you see,I built him, so he only knowsthe things he learned from me.--Kenn Nesbitt。
