We grow hybrid rice and use animal wastes to make the soil rich.)Has anyone of you ever been to the countryside? What did you do there?(For reference: I went to Chuankou the day before yesterday.

Would anyone of you tell the class something about him?(For reference: Professor Y uan Longping is a Chinese agricultural scientist. Professor Yuan's breakthrough scientific achievement led to the world's first successful and widely grown hybrid rice varieties, revolutionizing rice cultivation in China and tripling production over a generation. His approach to rice breeding then spread internationally throughout Asia and to Africa and the Americas, providing food for tens of millions and leading to his becoming known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice."Step 4. ReadingReading aloud to the recordingComprehension—understanding what you are reading—is important. To read in thought groups is an easy, yet effective, way of improving reading comprehension. Now turn to page 9 and read aloud to the recording of the text A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE. Pay attention to the thought groups in the sentences while listening and reading aloud.A brief introduction:Yuan Longping is known as China’s “father of hybrid rice”. It’s said that in China, we eat depending on “Two Ping” ---- Deng Xiaoping, who made the policy of System of Production Responsibility, & Yuan Longping, who invented hybrid rice.Yuan Longping, who was born in September, 1930, graduated from Agriculture Department in Southwest Agricultural Institute. He has been working on agriculture education & the research into hybrid rice since he left the institute.In the 1960s, when China was suffering from serious famine, he came up with the idea of hybrid rice, which has a high yield ( or output). Ten years later, he succeeded in inventing a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice.Yuan devoted himself to the research into agriculture, & was honored by UNESCO & FAO(联合国教科文组织）. Although he is 74 years old, he is still working on the research into agriculture.Period 2 ReadingStep 1 Lead-in.. Listen to the tape carefully then answer these questions.1）When and who did become the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output?2）What did Yuan Longping invent?Step2. Read the passage once again,then find out these sentences true or false.1）Dr Yuan is more a farmer than a scientist.2 ）Dr Yuan’s kind of rice is the most suitable for China’s farmland.3）Dr Yuan would rather work than relax.4 ）Dr Yuan has dreams when he is asleep and also when he is awake.5 ）Dr Yuan enjoys a simpler life than most rich and famous people.Step3. Find out the topic sentences of each paragraphPara. 1: He became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output.Para.2:He has devoted his life to finding ways to grow more and more rice..Para.3:He cares little about spending the money on himself and would rather keep time for his hobbies.Para.4 Dr. Yuan’s dreams.Step4. Write down Yuan Longping’s personal informationIn pairs, read the text, find information to complete the following form.Step 5 Language points:1. Struggle for…为争取……而斗争Struggle against…为反对……而斗争Struggle with… 与……争斗1）The swimmer struggled against the tide.2）We had to struggle with/against all kinds of difficulties.3）The slaves struggled for the freedom2. 使做…成为… make +it +adj./n. +to do好天气使游泳成为可能The fine weather makes it possible( for us )to swim.他将每早跑步做为一个规则He makes it a rule to run every morning.其他可用这种结构的词:feel, find, think, consider…3.搜查,搜索search (sb. / sth.) for …He searched all the rooms for the missing person.They searched the man all over for money.4.由于,多亏thanks to 相当于because of5.是从前两倍那么多twice as large as before相当于once larger than before6.对……感到满意be satisfied with…相当于be pleased withadj. satisfactory/satisfyingn. satisfaction7.在乎,在意care about比较care forMy aunt cared for me when my parents were away last week.Dr Yuan never cares about money and fame.8. Indeed, his sunburn face and arms and his slim, strong body are like those of millions of other Chinese farmers.e.g: The streets in Beijing are wider than those in my hometown.The number of students in our school is larger than that in their school.9. Dr Yuan grows what is called super hybrid rice.e.g: He came to what is called America.10. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one -third more of the crop in the same fields.e.g: That made it possible for life to begin to develop.The development of science makes it possible for us to know more about the universe.11. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice (that could feed more people).e.g: He went to the U.S with the hope of finding a better job there.Step 6Closing down by having a dictationTo end the peri od you will take a dictation. It is about Yuan Longping, “Father of Super hybrid rice”.Yuan Longping, China's Most Famous "Farmer"Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the world in 1960s. Since then, 50 percent of China's total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to the country's grain output. Furrows grown on his sunburnt face, a slim figure and coiled-up trousers legs would confuse foreign reporters who came to interview themost famous scientist in China, who would rather be called “a farmer”. Indeed, like many Chinese farmers, Yuan in his 70s and has devoted most of his life growing rice in paddy fields, but unlike those farmers, he reaps the seed from experimental fields only for hybridizing rice.Unit2 Working the landListening, Speaking and WritingLearning AimsTo help students read the passage Organic Farming.To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing.ProceduresI．Warming up by listening and reading aloudLanguage is created to be listened to and spoken first.

Unit 2 Working the land 说课稿
Unit 2 Working the land 说课稿大家好，今天我要介绍的课是普通高中课程标准实验教科书英语必修4第2单元Working the land的阅读部分。
下面我将从以下四个方面阐述我的课：教材分析和学情分析、教学方法、教学步骤和板书设计。
一、教材分析：(教材内容分析，学情分析，教学目标, 教学重点和难点)首先，我来讲下我的教材分析。
这主要包括教材内容分析, 学情分析，教学目标和教学重点和难点四个方面。
1. 教材内容分析这篇阅读材料紧扣本单元的中心话题“农业”，讲述了“杂交水稻之父”——袁隆平，投身农业研究，研制出一种高产水稻，缓解了世界上好多国家的饥饿问题。
既是对前面热身部分的升华，也是这单元的主题内容和词汇学习的重点。
这篇文章结构十分清晰，从袁隆平的成就说起，继而介绍他的工作经历到后来的人民饥饿问题，袁隆平致力于解决这个问题研制出的杂交水稻产量高。
通过对袁隆平性格的分析，鼓励学生热爱生活，尊重农民，积极的为自己的家乡做贡献。
2. 学情分析学生对本单元的主题“农业耕作”的话题是十分的熟悉，而且大多数学生都来自农村，他们对农业的耕作有一定的了解与见解。
高一现阶段的学生也已经掌握了基本的像寻读，略读，概括等阅读技能，他们也能就一些问题进行对话讨论。
但是，学生的词汇量不是很大，对文中出现的一些句式并不清楚，对有些句子所隐含的话外之音也不是很清楚，也对独立解决一些现实的问题感到困难。
3. 教学目标本节课的教学目标包括知识目标、语言技能目标、情感目标、文化意识和学习策略目标。
语言知识：1）学生能知道为什么要研究杂交水稻；2）通过学习大部分学生能够掌握并运用重要词汇语言技能：1）学生能够应用不同的阅读技能得到所需的信息；2）在略读后，学生能概括各段段落大意；3）学生能够分析作者某些句子的写作意图。
情感态度：学生能够认识到农业的重要性；文化意识：学生能对各个国家的主要饮食有一定的了解。
学习策略：1）通过与同学的交流，谈论如何播种到收获，学生能提高他们的交际策略；2）学生能通过网络获得更多关于农业方面的知识。
