新标准⼤学英语综合教程Book-Unit10教案⼤学英语2课程教案Unit 10 Green FatigueTeaching Content:Green FatigueLesson Type: Intensive Reading (New Standard College English Book 1)Total Time: 4.5 HoursClass/Object : Freshman (the Second term)Teaching Procedures:Step 1Starting Point(10mins)Group discussion: What is the most important threats and changes to the environment. Free talking: What will you do for protecting the environment?Step 2Reading Task1.Introductory remarks (10mins)1) Background information:Since at least the 1970s people have been aware of environmental issues, but in recent years widespread concern has focused more on climate change and global warming. Climate change is one result of global warming, and has serious potential consequences. It could cause ice caps to melt, which would lead to a rise in sea levels, which in turn could endanger coastal cities. Climate change could also cause increases in droughts, floods, storms and cyclones, which couldaffect water supplies and lead to an increase in deserts and a decrease in harvests, and thus food shortages. So environmental awareness is important for everyone.2)Environmental awarenessIt means that people are aware of their impact on the environment. This includes an awareness of major environmental issues, such as climate change, global warming, pollution, recycling and energy-saving, and the role of people in them. Environmentally-aware people have some knowledge of possible solutions and make commitment to practical action towards solutions. This commitment is often called “green”. If businesses use a green label, they try to show that they support the protection of the environment. The meaning of environmental awareness has become broader as people have come to understand the complexity of environmental problems and the impact of people on the environment3) carbon footprintThe carbon footprint is a measure of the direct contribution of carbon from energy use. The element carbon is added to the earth’s atmosphere by the use of energy in lighting,heating or cooling houses, cooking, driving cars, flying planes and other human activities. This has an impact on the environment and affects climate change because it adds to greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. Indirect carbon emissions from manufacturing and transport also create a carbon footprint. By measuring the carbon footprint we can get an idea of what each of us contributes to the climate change and what effect our actions may have on lowering the footprint, or reducing carbon emissions.Step 3 Comprehending the text (15mins)1. Do exercise 1(on page 16) before reading the text.2. Do exercise 2(on page 18) and exercise 6(on page 19) after reading the text asquickly as possible.Step 4 Language Points and Difficult Sentences (130mins)Language Points1. fatigue n.

Teaching Reflection:Try to listen to the feedback of the students during and after the course, analyze the weaknesses in teaching and improve the methods as much as possible.The feedback from the students:The methods taken to improve the teaching and learning:X. Appendix: Teaching Contents:A. Text AnalysisTo make a character portrait convincing, an author must refrain from telling readers directly what the person is like. Instead, he/she lets readers deduce.Of all the methods of indirect description, the one used most frequently in Text A is quotation. The author quotes not only Sam Walton himself, e.g. “Th e reason for our success... is our people and the way they’re treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit”, but also his townsfolk and colleaguesThe text begins with an anecdote: how waiter Jamie Beaulieu had anticipated a lavish mansion at the Waltons, only to find an ordinary-looking household. This kind of beginning lures readers to go on. There are other anecdotes, like how Sam Walton forgot his wallet and insisted on fetching it to pay the local barber, and how he lost 4 straight games after a Wal-Mart employee asked him a question about pricing.Sam Walton is a folksy guy, of which a lot of examples are given. Examples of how generous an employer he is are also plentiful.Jami e Beaulieu’s anticipation and the reality he later found out form a contrast. It reveals SamWalton’s down-home characteristics. When retired company president Ferold F. Arend compared Sam Walton with his previous employer, we appreciate further Sam Walton’s generosity.B. Cultural Notes1. Rolls-Royce: any of the large, expensive, comfortable cars made by the British company Rolls-Royce. Many people recognize them by the small metalstatue on the front of every Rolls-Royce car. The company was formed in 1905—1906 by Charles Rolls (1877—1910) and Henry Royce (1863—1933) and also produces aircraft engines. The Rolls-Royce company was bought by the German company Volkswagen in 1998.

Friends and members of a family who are of similar age usually call one another by their first names. In some families young people now also call their aunts and uncles and even their parents by their first names. Outside the family, the expression be on first name terms suggests that the people concerned have a friendly, informal relationship.When writing their name Americans commonly give their first name, their middle initial and their last name, e.g. George M. Cohan. Both given names are used in full only on formal occasions, e.g. when people get married.6. Forbes: an American business magazine.

大学英语2课程教案Unit 10 Green FatigueTeaching Content:Green FatigueLesson Type: Intensive Reading (New Standard College English Book 1)Total Time:4.5 HoursClass/Object : Freshman (the Second term)Teaching Procedures:Step 1Starting Point(10mins)Group discussion: What isthe most important threats and changes to the environment. Free talking: What will you do for protecting the environment?Step 2Reading Task1.Introductory remarks (10mins)1) Background information:Since at least the 1970s people have been aware of environmental issues, but in recent years widespread concern has focused more on climate change and global warming. Climate change is one result ofglobal warming, and has serious potential consequences. It could cause ice caps to melt, which would lead to a rise in sea levels, which in turncould endanger coastal cities. Climate change could also cause increases in droughts, floods, storms and cyclones, which could affect water supplies and lead toan increase in deserts and a decrease in harvests, and thus food shortages. So environmental awareness is important for everyone.2)Environmental awarenessIt means that people are aware of their impact on the environment. This includes an awareness of major environmental issues, such as climate change, global warming, pollution, recycling and energy-saving, and the role of people in them. Environmentally-aware people have some knowledge of possible solutions and make commitment to practical action towards solutions. This commitment is often called “green”. If businesses use a green label, they try to show that they support the protection of the environment. The meaning of environmental awareness has become broader as people have come to understand the complexity of environmental problems and the impact of people on the environment3) carbon footprintThecarbon footprint is a measure of the direct contribution of carbon from energy use. The element carbon is added to the earth’s atmosphere by the use of energy in lighting,heating or cooling houses, cooking, driving cars, flying planes and other human activities. This has an impact on the environment and affects climate change because it adds to greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. Indirect carbon emissions from manufacturing and transport also create a carbon footprint. By measuring the carbon footprint we can get an idea of what each of us contributes to the climate change and what effect our actions may have on lowering the footprint, or reducing carbon emissions.Step 3 Comprehending the text(15mins)1.
