人教版英语选修7 Unit3 Under the sea--Period1
Unit 3 Under the seaPeriod 1 A sample lesson plan for reading(Old Tom The Killer Whale)IntroductionIn this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to imagine, talk and share what they know about festivals. Then they will be helped to read two anecdotes. The reading will be carried out by steps of: pre-reading by defining anecdote, reading aloud to the recording, reading for forms, copying and making sentences, understanding difficult sentences, reading and transferring, reading the text once again for the type of writing and summary of Old Tom The Killer Whale and retelling the text in your own words. The period ends in students putting the text on stage.ObjectivesTo help students understand the text’s forms and contents and learn about under the seaTo help students communicate on the topic in focus with the words, collocations and structures learned in this unitFocusAidsMultimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagramsProcedures1. Warming up talking about ocean plants and ocean animalsHello, class. Have you been to the sea? This week we shall go to the sea to learn about ocean plants and animals. What do you know about them?There are two general types of plants found in the ocean, those having roots that are attached to the ocean bottom and those not having roots whichsimply drift about with the water. The most abundant plants in the ocean are known as phytoplankton. These are usually single-celled, minute floating plants that drift throughout the surface waters of the ocean.As for ocean animals, they are divided into three groups: zooplankton, nekton, and benthos. Zooplankton are drifting animals and are usually small, however, they can grow to fairly large size. Nekton is the free swimmer and probably the largest portion of familiar animals found in the ocean belonging to this class. The third type of sea animal spends its entire life on or in the ocean bottom.To learn more about ocean and sea, go to page 20.2. Pre-reading by defining anecdote.We are next to read Old Tom The Killer Whale. It is made up of two anecdotes. Then what is an anecdote? Why do we pay special attention to some experiences and tell about them? Are they true or false? Can they be trusted? Why do we selectively ignore other experiences? These are questions of vital importance for people who consider it important to really learn what is fact and truth.Let's start with a definition:"Anecdote: a usually short narrative of an interesting, amusing, or biographical incident."The very fact that we tell anecdotes is that we find them interesting and often personal. They are unusual, and are often what we have personally experienced or heard about. We wouldn't notice them or bother telling themif they were the norm, rather than the exception. We use them as reinforcements to shore up our arguments. We use them when we lack proof, IOW, for lack of anything better. We also notice them because they may reaffirm some cherished idea we have:"Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true." — Francis Bacon"Now let’s go to page 20 to read the two anecdotes.3. Reading 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 20 and read aloud to the recording of the text Old Tom the Killer Whale. Pay attention to the thought groups in the sentences while listening and reading aloud.4.Reading for formsIn using the context to help you guess unknown vocabulary, you can refer first to immediate context and then to the wider context in which a word is found. The immediate context is the sentence in which a word is found, and sometimes the sentences immediately before and after this. The wider context can include other sentences and even other paragraphs in a text. Both forms of context can often provide important information which helps you guess the meaning of unfamiliar words.Read the text again to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful collocations.5. Copying and making sentencesA collocation is two or more words that often go together. These combinationsjust 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.6. Understanding difficult sentencesIn groups of four, analyze the structure of any of the difficult sentences.If you have any problems which are too difficult for you to solve do not hesitate to put them to me.7.Reading and transferringIn pairs, read the text, find information to complete the following form.8. Reading the text once again for the type of writing and summary of Old Tom The Killer WhaleDetermining 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, condemning, 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 read the text once again for the type of writing and summary of Old Tom The Killer Whale.Typeof writingA narration Summaryof storyI witnessed Old Tom, the killer attacking a whale together with six other killers.9. Retelling the text in your own wordsWe are next to retell the text in our own words with the help of table above.10. Closing down by putting the text on stageTo act out is something like to carry out, to perform or to realize something. Acting out the text is a very good way to improve students’spoken English.To end this period let’s try to put the text story into a play.。

will discuss the problems and work out the answers cooperatively，choosing a reporter in their group.Students will think actively，so various answers are possible.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage，students should be required to retell the passage in the name of Old Tom or the baleen whale or James with as many key words as possible.At the end of the class，by holding a debate，the teacher can arouse students' interest further as well as make them aware of the relationship between man and animals and the importance of banning whaling.三维目标知识目标1．Get students to learn the useful

up1．Ask some students to show some pictures of their favorite sea animals and introduce them to the class.The introduction should cover these aspects：·The English and Chinese name of your favorite sea animal.·Where did you find it?·Some features of it，its distribution，or living condition.Anything about it is welcome.·Why do you like it?Sample introduction：①My favorite sea animal is dolphins(海豚)．I found them at an aquarium this summer holiday.Dolphins are very meek(温顺的)．Neither as timid animals in virgin forests who run away im mediately they discover a stranger，nor as beasts in remote mountains who bare fangs and brandish claws the moment they encounter a person，dolphins are always friendly with people.Dolphins and human beings have been on friendly terms all along.I like dolphins，because dolphins are truly intellectual.They can even imitate some people's voice after a period of training.Yet，dolphins have intelligence different from common animals.The volume and mass of their brain are among the most considerable in the animalworld.Up to the present moment，scientists have two different views on animals' intelligence：one is that of all animals，chimps are the most intellectual and capable；another is that chimps are no more capable of studying than dolphins，and it is probable that dolphins are more intellectual than chimps.Therefore，some people consider dolphins as “wizards in the sea”．When mentioning dolphins，people will probably speak highly of their supernormal intelligence and ability.In that aquarium，it is common that dolphins are giving a wonderful performance by following the trainer's instructions.They seem to be capable of understanding what mankind expresses and taking actions according to the instructions.At present，the majority of people marvel at dolphins' supernormal intelligence as a kind of sea animal.But to what extent can dolphins' intelligence and ability achieve？It remains to be probed and researched.②My favorite sea animal is tropical fish(热带鱼)．I found them on a snorkelling trip.I was attracted by its colorful appearance.In the half an hour's trip from the shore，I found coral reefs，tropical fish and other marine life.Excitedly，I bought some fishes home.It was my first time to raise tropical fish.One month ago my friend told me that tropical fish are easier to raise than the golden fish.Her words let me think of another friend of mine.He is raising tropical fish.I am feeding four categories of tropical fish.Twoblack marry，eight peacocks，another two fishes，although I don't know their names，are the most beautiful.The peacock is the smallest and isn't colorful as I have seen in other places before.My friend told me they will be beautiful when they grow up.So I put the eight peacock fish into a small fish jar.I observes them every day and is expecting them to be bigger and more colorful.Two of the four big tropical fishes have died including the beautiful one.Perhaps the beautiful fish's life is fragile.If it is true，then I don't expect the small peacocks to turn beautiful.I shouldn't be so greedy to want both.That they just have strong life is enough for me.2．The teacher show the picture of

George ran ahead_of_clancy.Clancy raced_after him.They jumped_into_the boat with the other whalers and headed_out into the bay.During and after the huntThe killers' action：A pack of killers are throwing_themselves on top of the whale's blow－hole to_stop it breathing；some others are stopping it fleeing_out to sea.The killers started racing_between the whalers' boat and the whale，just like a pack of excited dogs.Within a moment or two，the whale's body was dragged_down_into the depths of the sea.The whalers' reaction：The man in the bow of the boat aimed a harpoon at the whale and let it go to hit the spot.Started turning the boat around to go home.Anecdote two：The dangers facing James：(1)He was washed_off_the boat and was carried_away_by rough waves.(2)There was a shark out there.The help offered by Old Tom：(1)Old Tom wouldn't_let_the shark near.(2)Old Tom firmly held James up in the water.2．Reading aloud and underlining expressions.Students read the text aloud to the tape and underline all the expressions in the text.Put them down into their notebooks after class as homework.Suggested answers：Collections：at the time，witness sth.with one's own eyes many times，sort out my accommodation，in time to do sth.，crash down，yell out，ahead of，flee out to sea，aim at，let sth.go，be dragged swiftly down into the depths of the sea，in the meantime，have a good feed on sth.，be carried further and further away，be firmly held up in the water3．Reading，identifying and settling.Students skim the text once again and identify the difficult sentences.Let them try analyzing the structures of the difficult sentences and discuss them among their group members.They may also turn to the teacher for help.·...George didn't like being kept waiting...·...I could see a whale being attacked by a pack of about six other killers.·Being badly wounded，the whale soon died.·...I could see he was terrified of being abandoned by us.Step 5DiscussionAfter the students read the passage，ask them to discuss the following questions in groups and then report to the class.1．Why has the killer whale got the name Old Tom?2．Do you like killer whales？Why or why not?Suggested answers：1．Old Tom is a person's name.In my opinion，the reasons why the killer in the text is called so may be two.For one thing，the killer that showed the whalers the way to the hunt and saved James must be a male killer whale because Tom is a man's name.For another，the whalers called it Old Tom，just as they were calling a man.That is to say，the whalers treated it as their dear friend.In the meantime，the killer itself must be very friendly to the whalers and helped them a lot in hunting in the sea.In return，the killer can get part of the baleen whale as its food.So to some extent，the whalers and killers are depending on each other.They cooperated well and lived in harmony with one another.2．I like killer whales because when James fell off the boat，the killer whale not only protected him from being drowned but also wouldn't let the shark near.They are so clever and friendly to human beings.What's more，they worked as a team，which should be learned by us when we are working.I don't like them.Though they are clever and friendly to us，they are too fierce.To my great surprise，they should eat the fleshof another whale.I could hardly believe it.I have never heard of one animal killing his families and even eating their meat.How pitiful it is!Step 6Further－thinking1．What else do you think is amazing in the story？Show your evidence.2．What is an anecdote?Suggested answers：1．I think it is so amazing that we human beings should use one animal to attack or hunt another animal even his own family members，just like dogs that help hunters hunt animals.I think that the killer will return the body of the baleen whale instead of keeping it or eating it up is very amazing.But I guess the killer whales are just fond of the taste of the baleen whale's lips and tongue.Or they just want to share it with the whalers in return for their cooperation.2．According to the text，as far as I am concerned，an anecdote must be an exciting or amazing story.Step 7ConsolidationAsk students to retell the pass age with the help of their worksheet.1．Please retell either of the two anecdotes in the name of OldTom，the baleen whale or James.Your anecdote should at least consist of two paragraphs：Paragraph one：about the writer，time，place and what happened Paragraph two：detailed information about the anecdote Step 8DebateThe last whaling station in Australia closed in 1978.Whales are now an endangered species and protected by an international ban，but some countries oppose the ban.In groups discuss the reasons for and against banning whaling.Step 9Homework1．Write down the useful new words and expressions，then learn them by heart.2．Write down an anecdote in the name of Old Tom，the baleen whale or James.。

up to 24 feet and weigh between 3000 to 8000 lb.Males can reach lengths up to 27 feet and can weigh up to 12 000 lb.Calves are about 8 feet long and 300 to 400 pounds at birth.Where are they found?From the North Pole to the South Pole from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic，killer whales are found in all oceans of the world.What do they eat?How do they get a name like “killer whale”？Killer whales are one of the top predators in the sea.As a group，killer whales are known to eat fish，squid，seals，sea lions，penguins，even other whales.But，keep in mind，it would be difficult for a killer whale off the coast of California to eat a penguin.Killer whales eat the food(or prey)that's available to them.For example，a killer whale that lives in the northern Pacific can hunt harbor seals，California sea lions，and a variety of fish.A killer whale in the Antarctic could find Weddell seals，leopard seals，and penguins!Researchers studying killer whales in the Northwest Pacific have found that some pods feed primarily on fish and others seem to prefer marine mammals.A killer whale uses its sharp teeth to catch its prey.Killer Whale Highlights：Scientists have determined that killer whales can live a maximum of 35 years.How？By looking at a cross－section of a killer whale's tooth.Killer whales，like other marine mammals，produce a periodic growth layer on the teeth.By counting these layers，scientists can estimate the animal's age.You can tell an adult male from an adult female by the shape of their dorsal fin.This is a male(photo below)，how do we know？A male's fin is very tall(up to 6 feet tall)and triangular shaped.A female is shorter(3 feet)and curves back toward the dorsal fin(see the picture of the mother/calf above)．2．The earth's oceans can reach depths of up to 11 000 meters.That is deep enough to cover Mt.Qomolangma！The oceans are incredibly large and contain several different habitats.To make it easier to describe the various parts of the oceans，marine scientists usually divide the oceans into five zones.Each zone is differentmainly as a result of how much sunlight reaches it.Most of the life in the ocean can be found in the first zone，which begins at the surface and goes down about 200 meters.Because there is sunlight at this level，plants are able to grow.Marine animals such as dolphins，sharks，sea turtles and sea lions，and of course a variety of fish，live in the sunlit part of the ocean.It is difficult to hide from other animals in this area.The second zone starts at 200 meters and goes down to about 1000 meters.Some sunlight can reach this level，but it is not enough for plants to grow.Because this zone is relatively dark，many of the creatures that live here are able to make light with their body.The light from these animals makes the water look like a sky with moving stars in it.The third zone of the ocean is dark.This place，about 3000 meters deep，may not seem a likely habitat，but there are more creatures here than one might think.Most of the animals that live here are black or red because of the lack of light.Below 4000 meters，the temperature is near freezing and there is no light at all.In fact，the zone is so dark and empty that scientists named this zone after the Greek word for “no bottom”．There is not much life to be found in this cold and unpleasant part of the ocean，but some small creatures still manage to survive here despite the high water pressure.The very deepest part of the ocean is found 2000 meters further down.At this depth，the water pressure is extremely high and life is very difficult for the few creatures that live pared to the other zones，this one has very little life.Since there is no light here， some of the animals do not have eyes.Next time you look at the ocean from the beach or on a map，remember that what you are seeing is only the surface—only the beginning of the large and varied adventure.。

Unit 3 Under the seaPeriod 3 A sample lesson plan for Using Language(A New Dimension of life)IntroductionLanguage is learned to be used in and for communication. So in this period we shall have the students read, listen, write and speak in English, making use of the focused words, collocations, structures and topic ideas covered in this unit. Warming up by listening and reading aloud is to be followed by reading for forms, copying and making sentences, putting the text A New Dimension of Life into a short play, writing a paragraph and reading, discussing and listening about whale watching tours. The class will end in students speaking and writing.ObjectivesTo help students read the passage A New Dimension of lifeTo help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writingProcedures1.Warming up by listening and reading aloudWhy do we read aloud? Because reading aloud:∙Is great fun, and it benefits our growth as readers and learners.∙Nurtures our love of both the written and spoken word.∙Gives us a chance to rediscover favorite stories and find new ones.Helps us develop important language skills that will help us learn to read on our own.So open your book to page 23 and read the text aloud while listening to the recording. Watch your pauses between the thought groups.2. Reading for formsRead the text again to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful collocations.3. Finding collocations and making sentencesThere are several different types of collocation made from combinations of verb, noun, adjective etc. Some of the most common types are: •Adverb + Adjective: completely satisfied (NOT downright satisfied) •Adjective + Noun: excruciating pain (NOT excruciating joy)•Noun + Noun: a surge of anger (NOT a rush of anger)•Noun + Verb: lions roar (NOT lions shout)•Verb + Noun: commit suicide (NOT undertake suicide)•Verb + Expression With Preposition: burst into tears (NOT blow up in tears)•Verb + Adverb: wave frantically (NOT wave feverishly)You are asked to read the text and find all the useful collocations and copy them into your Collocation Book after class as homework. You may make your own sentences with these collocations.4. Put the text A New Dimension of Life into a short playActing out the text is a strategy for motivating us to read out loud the text. We need oral practice and help with pronunciation and so acting out the text really helps us.A New Dimension of LifeAct OneIt’s 8:00am, a warm morning, at the side of the reef. The sea ripples abit and a man is preparing to go snorkeling on the reef.Jerry: Well, (looks at all his equipment) I’m ready now! (confidently) One, two, three…go! (jumps into t he sea)(Jerry sees all the vivid colors surrounding him-purples, reds, yellows, blues and greens and all kinds of corals shaped like fans, plates, brains, lace, mushrooms, the branches of trees and the horns of deer.)Jerry: (surprisingly) Wow…that’s fan tastic! (at the very time, a group of fish swims by and a fish stops and begins to talk with him)The fish: (elegantly) Hi, body! Where are you going?Jerry:(friendly) Hello, Mr. Fish, I’m just going around and trying to find something new to me.The fish: Oh, this is the right place. Good luck! (then goes away) (Jerry continues to swim, after a while, he sees a little thing. And then he goes close to it, trying to find what it is.)Jerry: (happily) Oh, another small cute fish! (then says friendly to it-a little orange and white fish) Morning, boy!Anemone fish: (frightened) Who are you?Jerry: Man.Anemone fish: What is man? I’ve never seen Man before!Jerry: Stuff like me is called Man. And who are you?Anemone fish:Anemone fish…(it seems extremely frigh tened, and slip away, hiding in the poisonous tentacles of the sea anemones)Jerry:(murmurs) … a coward fish, but anyway, fantastic! (then he sees another fish even more fantastic than the anemone fish…)(Jerry sees a small fish is cleaning the body of a large fish.)Jerry: (crying) Dangerous! Go away!Small fish:(smiling at him) Don’t worry! We are friends! (it then gets inside the mouth of the larger fish and begins to clean its teeth) Jerry:(opens his mouth widely) Wow, I’ve never thought of this! Jerry:I’d better go! That’s too scaring!(There are lots of strange creatures. By the way he swims, he sees a yellow and green parrotfish hanging upside down, gathering tiny plants off the coral with its hard bird-like mouth; a yellow-spotted red sea-slug sliding by a blue sea-star; an orange and blue-striped angelfish looking straight at him; a large wise-looking turtle passing so close to me that I could touched it. )Jerry: (says to himself) A wonderful underground world! When I come back, I will tell Marry.Act Two(A whole day’s traveling finishes, and Jerry goes back home, sitting in the warm night air with a cold drink in his hand, talking with his wife-Marry) Marry: … then what else did you see? (with her chin on her fist, seems really interested in Je rry’s experience)Jerry: …then I said goodbye to the friendly turtle and went swimming again, and I met other creatures that I didn’t want to get close to-an eel with its strong sharp teeth, with only its head showing from a hole, watching for a tasty fish, or my tasty toe; and the giant clam half buried in some coral waiting for something to swim in between its thick green lips. Then there are two gray reef sharks, you know, each about one and a half meters long, which suddenly appeared behind some coral.Marry: Oh, that’s too dangerous!Jerry: That’s the case, and I told myself they weren’t dangerous but that didn’t stop me from feeling scared to death for a moment! The water was quite shallow but where the reef ended, there was a sharp drop to the sandy ocean floor. I thought I was very brave when I swam over the edge of the reef and hung there looking down into depths of the ocean. My heart was beating wildly-I felt exposed in such deep clear water!Marry: …and it’s very interesting!Jerry: Oh, what a wonderful, limitless world it is down there! And what a tiny spot I am in this enormous world!(The end)5. Writing a paragraphLet’s read A New Dimension of life on page 23 again. Pay attention to the ways the author uses words and collocations to describe colors, patterns, shapes, and animals.Now you are to write a paragraph describing a place and the plants or animals there.The first stop on a visit to Zuoquan is the Mt. Miao’er Scenic Area, known as the National Geographical Park, featuring geological structure movements and hydraulic creations. The whole area is scattered with valleys, such as Chazuogou and Yaojiagou. Measuring 1,500 meters long and a dozen meters wide, Chazuogou has currents and deep pools, and is where a gorge, 700 meters high, forms a fantastic view. Walking along plank roads on precipitous cliffs, one can clearly see the traces of geographical transformation and the effect water erosion has had on the area over the years.Ganlanba (Olive Dam), a complex of several villages inhabited by the Dai people, is shaped like an olive and abounds in evergreen plants; hence its name. Viewed from the air, the villages are connected to one another and covered with green trees, while Buddhist pagodas and bamboo tower houses stand out amidst the lush green. Ganlanba is also known as Menghan ("han" means rolling up), and according to a legend, from which the name derives, when Sakyamuni came here to preach Buddhism, his followers laid a cotton cloth on the ground for him to tread on. After he had walked over it, his followers rolled up the cloth.I was shocked to see fish tanks (鱼缸) with so many live fish. Each did not have enough room to turn round and there were dead fish floating on the surface. I was horrified (惊骇的), but then I saw hundreds of crabs (螃蟹) in pots dying under the bright lights. But for a lifelong animal lover like me, the worst were the tanks of turtles, all destined (去往…的) to end up as soup.Iguanodon, or "iguana tooth" was a large plant eater who was 30 feet long and stood 6 feet tall when on his hind legs. This dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period had large thumb spikes, thought to be used for defense or possibly to pull branches off trees. Iguanodon could walk on it's hind feet or on all fours and was a very good swimmer.6. Reading, discussing and listening about whale watching toursWhale watching as a commercial activity began in 1955 in North America along the southern California coast. Today, whale watching is carried on in the waters of some 40 countries, plus Antarctica. All the large whale species and many dolphins and porpoises canbe seen regularly on a wide range of tours,lasting from an hour to two weeks. Whale watching is a non-consumptive use of whales with economic, recreational, educational and scientific dimensions. The economic benefits occur in areas where whale watching has quickly become a significant aspect of a local tourism economy.Now you may turn to page 25. Read Whale Watching Tours, discuss the three questions, and then listen to the tape.Collocations from Whale Watching Toursmiss an opportunity to do…错过做……的一个机会, at close range接近地,在很近的范围/区域空间里, on one’s annual migration年度迁徙, on whale watching tour观光鲸鱼, sit outside for clear viewing坐在外面清晰地赏景, witness…in one’s natural environment在自然的环境中见证/亲眼目睹……, l eap out of…从……中跳出, success rate 成功率, offer…a free tour向……提供免费旅游, refund half the fare半价7. Closing down by speaking and writingFlying as an airline passenger is an often memorable experience, but there are times where the experience is memorable for all the wrong reasons: mechanical problems, poor service, bad food, lost luggage, or any of a number of other problems that result in a significant inconvenience or financial loss for the passenger. If you experience this kind of problem with your airline, you may want to deal with it by lodging a complaint with the airline or to one of the authorities that oversee air transportation.On page 27, at the top, there are some collocations. You are going to make up dialogues with them for the three situations.Understand Why You Are ComplainingAfter you have decided to gather information about your situation, butbefore you make that phone call or write that letter, you should take a bit of time and get to know a few basic things about your particular circumstances:●Why you are complaining●What situation caused you to complain and what people ororganizations played a role in that situation●What are the things that you want to happen that will address thecomplaint● What should you reasonably expect as an outcomeComplaining to the airline serviceYou: Hello, is this the Airline Service?Airline: Yes, speaking.You: I’m sorry but I have to complain to you about your bad service. Airline: What is it?You: I’d like to talk to the manager.Airline: I am the manager.You: I missed my flight to Beijing yesterday afternoon. I went to the airport early. I waited in the waiting room, but I didn’t hear the flight being announced over the loudspeaker.Airline: I’m afraid the loudspeaker went wrong at the time.You: I suffered a lot from your bad service. I ask for a free flight from you.Airline: I’m feeling sad about your experience. We’ll refund all of your fare. And we’ll offer you a free ticket. Is that ok?You: That’s good.
