Ability goals能力目标Enable the students to talk about inventions and discoveries.3. Learning ability goals 学能目标Help the students learn how to talk about inventions and discoveries.Teaching important & difficult points教学重难点How to talk about inventions and discoveries.Teaching methods教学方法Discussion.Teaching aids教具准备A computer and a projector.Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方式Step Ⅰ Warming upTalk about inventions and discoveries.T: The importance of inventions to social progress can never be changed. Each invention carries the world a step forward and provides stimulation for later ones. With inventions turning up all the time, our world is always taking on a new look. But do you know what an invention is?S1: The creation of something new.S2: A creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation.S3: The creation of new things.…Ask the students to talk about the pictures with the teacher’s help, and then discuss the first two questions.T: And what is a discovery? What’s the dif ference between a discovery and an invention? Now look at the pictures on page 1. Work in pairs and talk about the three different things, telling them apart and giving reasons.Show the following.1. Which of these pictures show inventions? Does any of them show discoveries?2. Work out two rules that will help you decide what is a discovery and what is an invention? S1: I think the first two are inventions, i.e. the amphibious car and Stevenson’s “Rocket” while the last picture about the DNA is a kind of discovery. Because the first two products were quite new to people at that time and no one had ever seen or designed such kind of vehicles before though some others had made similar cars or machines which had less functions and advantages as these two. I think the picture about the DNA is a kind of scientific discovery in biology because such cells and their structure do exist in living creatures and they have been found out by a certain scientist and are made known to the public nowadays. So I think a discovery is something existing before but unknown while an invention is something unknown and not existing before.S2: I think the first two pictures show us great human inventions about the transportation because they were invented by people for certain purposes and they had special advantages and could satisfy people’s needs in some ways. On the other hand the third picture showing the formation of DNA is a kind of discovery because these special cells exist and function in the body of life all the time no matter who discovers it or when and where it is discovered. In my opinion a discovery is something found out or brought to view now but it was unknown before while an invention is something created or designed by people , which is completely new not only now but in the past.…T: Well, from these pictures we can see that there lies differences between a discovery and an invention. There are certain rules or questions you should pay attention to while distinguishing them. Did it exist in the past? Is it created or developed by people? An invention is something that is created by a human being, such as the lightning rod. To the contrary, a discovery merely makes known something that already existed in nature, such as the discovery on the New Continent by Col umbia. OK. Let’s go on with some other questions of this part. You may talk with your partner first before we have a check five minutes later. Show the following.What modern inventions do you know? Describe them to your partner and how useful they are in life today.S1: Adidas 1 is the thinking shoes with a built-in microprocessor that decides how soft or firm the wearer needs the support. It has been chosen by Popular Science magazine as the best recreation invention of 2004. It is very comfortable to wear it all day without worrying about your toes being hurt and you can adjust the height and stiffness according to your demands whenever you want and wherever you go. Thus it is a very practical choice for both the young and the old when having exciting sports outdoors or resting at home during holidays.S2: Camera phones have opened up a new way to communicate. Because many of them look like regular cell phones, you can snap pictures as discreetly as any spy and, with the push of a few buttons, pop them into an e-mail or upload them to the Web in less than a minute. No wires or computer hookups necessary. To be sure, most camera phones end up taking pictures of friends, family, babies and pets. But they have also been used to snap pictures of VIPs at private parties, copy recipes from cookbooks at bookstores and even document crimes in progress. But with an estimated 80 million camera phones sold in 2003, 6 million in the U.S. alone—the cat may already be out of the camera bag. Like it or not, these camera phones have been very popular and widely used by people even today.S3: A kind of robot heart called AbioCor was invented in 2001. On July 2, 2001, the59-year-old grandfather and retired librarian Robert Tools became the first human to get one. It’s been long since the operation, and Tools’ new heart is still beating. He can walk a city block without stopping and he’s even making plans for the future. Though not everybody needs a new heart, hundreds of thousands eventually may. Nor will an artificial heart rid the world of sickness or poverty or terror. But sometimes it really helps.T: Very good! I am glad to see that all of you have known so many modern inventions both at home and abroad and you have thought a lot about them. It’s certain that modern di scoveries and inventions do have great effects on people’s life and can always represent the advanced science and technology, so you should learn to distinguish them and make good use of them. Step Ⅱ TalkingT: Suppose you are working for a mobile company. It is your job to suggest new ways of developing a mobile. In pairs discuss some new applications of a mobile. Make a list of the ones you like and that seem the most useful. Choose one you both like and think will be popular with other people. Now work in groups of four to discuss the question.S1: I suggest the new applications of mobile should be: portable entertainment players, cameras, member-ship and loyalty cards, guidebooks, maps, tickets, watches, and devices for accessing everything from news to corporate databases. Among them, we like the applications of devices for accessing everything from news to corporate databases. We both think they are useful and will soon be popular with others in the near future because the ability will enable a whole class of workers to rely less on their memory and more on their company’s and even world’s knowledge maintenance, sales, construction, transportation, taxicab drivers, and many other workers spend a great deal of time from offices. Thus, when they need information, they must either have it in their heads or stop what they are doing and make a phone call.S2: I think the new mobiles can be developed better with 4G to listen to the radio, watch TV, play games, do shopping, chat on the QQ,, surf the internet, control the electrical equipment at home in the distance, give off harmless rays and be used as computers with special operating systems which can do business, have fun and work as intelligent P4 computers. Among them, we like the new application of surfing the internet and doing shopping and we both think they are useful and will soon be popular among youngsters because it is very convenient for people to find various useful information whenever and wherever possible. As there are different kinds of goods to choose from online and it’s very funny and exciting to make choices and buy what we need at a reasonable price without going out and bargain with sellers in the markets.…T: Very good. Now get together with another pair to discuss whether your suggestion is a good one. Make a case for your idea. Let the other pair evaluate it. Then swap so that you evaluate their idea. Decide which idea you like better and prepare to explain it. Then present it to the class.S1: I think the first classmate’s expectatio n that the mobile phones can do so much, maybe more than they can offer. The mobile phones usually have limited size and capacity. So I think it will take time before the mobiles are designed to meet his needs.S2: I think it’s practical and meaningful fo r the second classmate to develop the mobiles in that way. Though it has been used in some ways but we can do better because every day we have much information to look for and different types of things to do and the smart mobile canmake it more convenient for us to achieve our goals in life.…T: Now, I’d like you to discuss in groups and try to tell the others about your ideas and the others who act as the leaders of the company may ask some questions for him or her to answer. Then I’d like some of you to report your group work.Five minutes later.(L=Leader of the company)S: I think the new mobiles can be developed better with 4G to watch TV and do shopping on the internet.L1: Well, have you thought about the cost of this kind of new mobile which has a large capacity and such functions?S: Yes. I’ll make a good survey of the international electronic markets in advance and try to reduce the cost as much as possible.L2: Are you sure of the security measures of using these mobiles, especially when they are used to shop on the internet?S: Sure. I’ll keep the new mobiles designed so in order that they will give warning messages whenever there is misleading information or dishonesty in selling and buying things on the internet.L3: I think it would be difficult for the new mobile of limited size to be used to watch live broadcast and pick out all sorts of goods on the internet. Have you taken these into consideration?S: Yes. Now, I come to realize that I have to design the mobiles with larger screens, which can make it more convenient and comfortable for the users. Thank you!T: Very good! I can see all of you have done a good job in the presentation. Next I want you to evaluate the ideas using the following criteria. First, do you know about the words, such as originality and quality argument?S: Yes, originality just means the quality of being new and interesting and quality argument just means different opinions about the quality of the product.T: Quite right! Now let’s look at the criteria and go on with the next step.Show the followingAfter each group has taken part, add up the scores and award the contract to the winner! T: Next, I’d like to divide you into four teams and the leader of the company will write down the scores according to the criteria while helping everyone present the ideas. At last the winner will be awarded in class.Step Ⅲ SPEAKING TASK (若时间不足，可改为作业)T: Leonardo da Vinci was not only a painter, but a true inventor. Now look at the picture in 1 on page 68. I’d like you to work in pairs and discuss what this invention of Leonardo da Vinci was. Several alternative explanations are provided, but only one is correct. Be prepared to give your ideas to the class with your reasons.S: I think it’s a kind of water slide because we can clearly see the long slide way connecting the water tower, equipment on the roof of the building and the base on the ground. If there is a lack of water down on the ground, the working machine will be used to carry water from the tower above to the ground along the slide way. Just so, this specially fixed machine can also carry water up to store in the tower if the water on the ground is more than needed. Thiskind of invention is really useful especially in some dry or mountainous areas.T: Good! You are very creative in thinking about the use of the machine in different cases and from this we can see Leonard da Vinci is really a great inventor. He contributed to people’s everyday life besides painting wonderful pictures. Well, let’s go on with Activity 2. Please look at the pictures and read the instructions below, discuss in groups and finish the exercises.Step Ⅳ ProjectT: “Creativity is the soul of a nation and an inexhaustible source of a country’s prosperity.” Chinese former President Jiang Zemin said in the speech delivered on November 24 to the scientific and technological community in the Science City of Novosibirsk. As a young generation, every one of us should be creative and inventive in order to contribute more to make our country richer and more beautiful. Now, please look at the project exercise on page 69. I’d like you first read the introductions and th en discuss in pairs about the pictures and solutions to the problems. Finally I’d like someone to present your work.One possible solution:S: In this kind of situation, I will have to use the sticks and ropes to make a fishing rod with the nails made in shape of hooks. I will cut the pumpkin or the nuts on the trees into halves so as to make a water container. And as for the shelter I’d use the piece of cloth combined with sticks, ropes and nails. I will have to need a magnifying glass found on the island to focus the heat on the leaves and wood so that there will be much smoke rising from the fire caused by the strong light and heat from the sun. If I’m not lucky enough to be saved by someone, I would have to use the ropes cut by the knife to link the pieces of wood together so as to make a raft as means of escape.T: Good! You all have good imaginations and you have known much about how to design and make effective inventions especially in emergency. I am very proud of you and I’m sure you will do more research about the inventions after class until you make them perfect.Step Ⅴ HomeworkAsk the students to do the following.1．Search for more information about mobiles on the Internet.2．Prepare for the listening part on page 26.The Second Period ListeningTeaching goals 教学目标1.

With it, we can talk with friends, families or others far away from us. Suppose you want to apply for a job in James Dyson’s company in England. The quickest and cheapest way may be a telephone conversation. So you ring up one of his engineers to ask what kind of person he needs. Now work in pairs and make a telephone conversation with your partner. Remember to ask for as much information as you can. Of course, we have learned about how to make telephone calls in English-speaking countries. Who can give me some examples?S: I’ll try. When making a telephone call, we often say: Hello! Is that... speaking? Yes, this is... Can I take a message? Wait a minute, please, and so on.T: But the following expressions may be of great help. Before listening, please read and learn them by heart.Show the following.Hold the line, please.Hang on, please.Just a moment, please.I’m sorry, but this phone is out of order.I can’t get through.I’ll ring him / her up again.I must ring off now because...T: Now, you may work with your partner and discuss about the questions and answers.A sample dialogue:(S-student; E-engineer)S: Hello! Is that James Dyson’s company?E: Yes, Who’s that?S: This is Li Ping. Is that the personnel manager?E: Just a moment, please. Sorry. He isn’t here right now. Can I take a message?S: No, thanks. Maybe I’ll ring him again some other time. By the way, May I ask you some questions?E: Sure, go ahead.S: I want to apply for a job in your company and I want to ask what kind of person you need. E: Well, as far as I know, we need some skilled workers who are good at machinery and have a good knowledge of repairing some electrical equipment used at home, for example washing machine, refrigerator, electric fan and so on.S: Are we graduates needed in some departments in your company?E: It’s har d to say now. Maybe you will have some chance to work and learn in some department, but you have to wait and see. If you are free, you may call the personnel manager at three o’clock this afternoon.S: OK, I will. By the way, how much will I get if I can work as your colleague?E: Usually the average salary for newcomers is $2,000 per month. And you may get a rise if you progress well or have some invention in your work.S: Well, I know. I must ring off now because I have to go back home for lunch. Thanks a lot. Bye!E: Goodbye and good luck!T: Next please swap roles and answer your partner’s questions. Remember you must behave as if you are a member of Dyson’s company and answer the questions honestly.Step Ⅱ Listening and speakingT: Zhou Rui has decided to do a project on a living British inventor called James Dyson. So he telephoned Dyson’s company in England to interview one of its engineers about the great man’s ideas. Now listen to the conversation betw een them and finish the exercises on page 26. Before that, please look through the introductions first.Ask the students to finish the exercises after listening and then check the answers with them. T: While listening, you’d better make notes of the list ening points like this:Show the following.The object of his invention:The problem of his invention:The improvement of his invention:Step Ⅲ LISTENING (Workbook)T: Millions of people in China and around the world use cellular phones. They are such greatinventions —with a cell phone, you can talk to anyone on the planet from just about anywhere! These days, cell phones provide an unbelievable array of functions, and new ones are being added at a breakneck pace. Now look at the pictures and questions on page 62. Work in pairs and have a discussion about the three questions.Sample answers:S1: A mobile phone can now be used to receive phone calls, send and receive messages, listen to music, watch videos, surf the internet and so on. I find it very useful to use the mobile phones to make telephone calls and send and receive messages because we should always be informed and it’s important and ne cessary to communicate with each other in modern society.I also expect a mobile phone to show pictures of the person I call so that we can see clearly whether we are calling the right person and I hope one day we can use it to have meetings with people in the distance, and see films and show DVD in public.S2: Nowadays mobile phones can be used to do calculations, record pictures in life, play games, chat online, set time limit, wake up people, find out various information online and so on. I find they are very useful because we can enjoy ourselves when we use them to play games and chat online and talk with friends about different subjects. I expect mobile phones can be used one day to watch TV, cook meals, pick up foreign languages, do homework and take e xams for me. Then I’ll be free from different kinds of worries and complaints and live a more comfortable and convenient life in the future.T: Good! You have known much about mobile phones and we’ll listen to some other functions of them, which you might feel more interested in. Now, listen and do Part 2 and then answer the questions in Part 3. While listening, please make notes as follows. OK?Show the following.The mobile Mary will buy:The extra applications of mobiles:The extra application of the 3-G mobiles:The reason why Mary is worried:The advantages of the 3-G mobiles:What might go wrong?Then check the answers with the students.Step Ⅳ LISTENING TASK (Workbook)Deal with the LISTENING TASK on page 67.T: First look at the three pictures on page 67 and discuss what inventions they might be.

The criteria are so strict that it is difficult to get new ideas accepted unless they are truly novel.4. Nor will you receive a patent until a search has been made to find out that your product really is different from everybody else’s.2. Ability goals能力目标Enable the students to describe the problem of the snakes and what has been done by the writer to solve the problem. Make them realize it takes steps to catch the snakes and it’s not easy to get a patent.3.

Greetings2. Check the answers to the multiple choices in USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS.3. Ask some students to show the answers to the preview questions.T: Last period, you were asked to preview the text and answer the two questions. Did you get ready?Sample answers:1. The problem talked about in the text is how to catch snakes in the courtyard.2. The writer solved the problem in different steps. For example placing the frozen bowl and the ice-cubes on top of the bowl to keep it cool, freezing the bowl and ice-cubes again in the evening as the temperature was starting to cool and using a net used for catching fish.Step Ⅱ Pre-readingT: Problems can arise anywhere at any time. Now here is a problem of snakes. Look at the title of the reading passage. What can you guess about the content of the passage from the title? To answer the question you should try to predict the content of the reading material by reading the title and looking at the pictures in the text. The title of the text is THE PROBLEM OF THE SNAKES. Next, I’d like you to discuss this question with your partner. Then I’ll ask some students to report your work. Are you clear?After a few minutesT: Now who’d like to answer the question? Volunteer!S1: Let me try. Someone was once frightened at the sight of snakes, the brave and clever writer helped solve the problem of the snakes, as we can see from the picture that she finally caught them with a net.S2: Judging from the title, I think the passage is mainly about the serious problem of the snakes around the house and how the girl made efforts to catch the snakes in the end.S3: The title tells us that the content of the text will be about different ways of catching snakes tried by the girl and her success in doing it.T: Very good! Now, let’s go on with Exercise 1 in the pre-reading. Inventing is a scientific activity. Every inventor must go through certain stages before they can have their inventions approved. Look at the list of the stages and work out a suitable order.S: The suitable order of the steps every inventor must go through before they can have their inventions approved:1. Finding a problem2. Doing research3. Thinking of a creative solution4. Testing the solution5. Applying for a patent6. Deciding on the inventionT: Well done! You’ve worked the or der out. Now read the text and check the order you wrote above to see whether it follows the correct stages in producing an invention. First, you should skim the passage by reading the introduction, the topic of each paragraph and the conclusion. After a few minutes.T: How about your arrangement of the stages? Are they all right?S: I find the above steps are correctly arranged according to the text. At first the writer found the problem of the snakes, and then she made a study of the methods of catching them and thought of a creative and practical way to solve the problem. She then tested and improved the method before applying for a patent and whether there will be a decision on her invention remains to be seen.。
