全新版大学英语第一册教案Unit 3 Understanding Science
Unit 2 FriendshipObjectivesStudents will be able to:1)grasp the main idea and the structure of the text (narration in chronological sequence);2)appreciate that spoken English is much more informal than written English;3)master key language points and grammatical structures in the text4)conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme ofthe unit.Pre-reading Tasks1. Ask students the following questions on the song That’s What Friends are For:1) What is a fair weather friend?—One who is happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives.2) According to the song, what are friends for?— For both good times and bad times.2. Ask students to give several proverbs on friends or friendship.3. Survey — Do you often write letters to friends? Why or why not?T sums up the survey and leads into the text by saying: Sometimes we put off writing letters because we think letters can wait until other matters are dealt with, or because we think a phone call will do instead. But sometimes, as you are to find in this text, we may leave it too late to write, and letters are the best in expressing our innermost feelings.Most of this text is actually a re-creation of the conversation between a taxi driver and the narrator. Therefore it provides ample examples of how English is spoken in daily life by native speakers.In spoken English sentences tend to be short andsimple. Some sentences are incomplete, for example:“(Is the letter) From a child or maybe a grandchild?”“(You) Went to school together?”“Time.”“(I have) Enjoyed talking with you.”Besides, some words and phrases do not usually find their way into written English, for example, sort of, kind of, you know, I think, I guess, I take it, well, go ahead, hang out, it’s no fun to do sth., not much of a hand at doing sth., a couple of, every now and then, an awful lot.From the text one can conclude that the narrator is very good at keeping the conversation going. For one thing, he expresses his agreement to show the cabbie what a sympathetic listenerhe is, e.g.---“Letters from home always mean a lot. At least they do with me because I‟m on the road so much.”---“I don‟t think any of us keep up our correspondence too well. I know I don‟t.”---“Well, we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don‟t seem to find the time.”---“ You know,when it says here that there aren‟t many of us left, that‟s absolutely right.”For another, he asks questions directly to get more information out of the cabbie:---“You said …was‟. Does that mean--?”---“Did you two work at the same place?”---“I thought your friend‟s name was Ed. why did he sign it Tom?”sometimes, he asks an indirect question by making guesses:---“From a child or maybe a grand child?”---“Went to school together?”---“I take it he‟s someone you‟ve known quite a while?”---“You must have spent a lot of time together.”---“That must have made you feel good, didn‟t it?”Cultural NotesHalloweenHalloween is celebrated annually. It is on the night of 31 October, when people once believed that ghosts could be seen. Now, in Britain and America, it is a time when children have parties, dress up as witches, make lanterns out of pumpkins from which the inside has been removed, and play “trick or treat”.Trick or treat is a traditional activity at Halloween. Children dress in costumes and visit houses. At each house they say “Trick or treat”. This means that they will play a “trick”, or joke, on the people in the house unless they are given a “treat”, e.g. sweets or money. Most people prefer give treats rather than having tricks played on them.Language Study1.be lost in / lose oneself in: be so involved in something that you do not notice anything else;be absorbed in, be fully occupied with:It‟s easy to lose yourself in the magic of this film.2.or something: it is used when you cannot remember or do not want to give another example ofsomething you are mentioning.Here‟s some money.

NewsNews 1 In Feb. 1997In February 1997 a group of geneticists (遗传学家) led by Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, announced that they had cloned a sheep from the mammary gland tissue (乳腺组织) of a six-year-old ewe (母羊), the first time scientists have been able to clone an adult mammal (哺乳动物).News 2 In Apr. 1998Dolly, the first-ever mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult cell, with her first lamb, named Bonnie, is seen at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland in this image on April 23, 1998. Dolly, who was naturally mated at the end of last year with a Welsh Mountain ram (公羊), gave birth to Bonnie on April 13, proving that despite her unusual origins, she is able to breed normally and produce healthy offspring.News 3 In Feb. 2003Dolly, the sheep, the first mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult cell, has been put down after she was found to have a lung disease, the Roslin Institute in Scotland’s capital Edinburgh said on Feb 17, 2003.“She was suffering from an incurable disease,” said Dr. Harry Griffin, after Roslin released a statement saying the decision had been taken to put Dolly down after she contracted (感染) progressive lung disease.ii. DiscussionWhat is your attitude towards clone?Albert EinsteinThough he described himself as a "mathematical ignoramus," Albert Einstein's thinking was so complex that accomplished members of the scientific community still struggle to wrap their minds around the meaning and implications of his theories. Born in Germany in 1879, the frizzy-haired physicist conducted some of his most importantresearch in Princeton, New Jersey, where he spent the later years of his life. Perhaps best known for his Theory of Relativity and his equation E=mc2, Einstein's work revolutionized the field of theoretical physics and made him a celebrity throughout the globe.As he presented Einstein at Medal Day exercises, Dr. Frederick Palmer, Jr. of The Franklin Institute's Committee on Science and the Arts said: "The romance of his achievement has been such that mathematical physics has become popular with the public."3.重点、难点及解决办法Teaching FocusNote the differences between narration between exposition.Teaching Difficulties(1)Follow the way how the author presents the ideas: from general opinion to specific examples, to write a short paragraph.(2)Special attention should be paid to classroom interaction. Give students time to adapt to the new teaching mode in the university that are quite different from the one they were used to in the middle school.Teaching SuggestionsStudents conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing practice to deepen their understanding of the points taught in class.More encouragement is needed and more guidance will be given to them in their extracurricular study.4.时间分布Time Allotment:1st-2nd period: Unit 3 Text A New Words3rd-4th period: Unit 3 Text A5th -6th period: Unit 3 Exercises7th-8th period: 新视野大学英语视听说教程Unit 35.教学方法及手段A combination of traditional teaching methods with the communicative approach will be adopted.6.问题与练习《全新版大学英语综合教程第一册》第三单元Text A后的习题。
