Unit 1 Friendship Period 2Reading整體設(shè)計從容說課This is the second teaching period of this unit. As usual, the teacher should check the students homework and offer chances for them to go over what they learned in the last period at the beginning of the class.In this period, the teaching emphasis will be put on developing the Ss reading ability and getting them to learn to use some reading strategies such as guessing, key sentences, skimming and so on. As to new words and phrases, the teacher can first find those the Ss find most difficult and help them to understand. One way of helping them learn new words is to ask them to study the text before the lesson and find out the meaning of any word they are unsure of. A second way of helping them is to choose the words they maybe find difficult and pre-teach them before beginning the reading.In order to lead in the part Reading, the teacher can first ask the students to discuss whether they have ever considered making friends with animals, plants or even an object and why or why not. The students are supposed to analyze their reasons. The purpose of this activity is to begin to focus the students attention on the main topic of the reading passage.It is very important that the students learn to use all the clues in the text to help them understand the gist of what they are reading. So first encourage them to look at the pictures and the heading and guess what the text might be about. Then ask the class to read the passage silently. Sometimes ask them some questions to focus their reading. Alternately, ask them to tell what the main idea for each paragraph is. Make sure that they do it in one sentence. This is very useful because it is making them analyze what is important and what is not.While discussing the ideas put forward in the reading passage, the students should be encouraged to put forward their own ideas, either criticizing the text or using it as a support because they should think whether they agree or disagree with the writer. Besides, in order to help the students own writing, it is also important to ask them to find out and remember some phrases and sentences.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, the students should be required to retell the text. In order to arouse the students interest, the teacher can hold a competition between groups.教學(xué)重點Get the students to learn different reading skills.教學(xué)難點Get the students to learn different reading skills for different reading purposes.教學(xué)方法1.

The purpose of this activity is to encourage students to make use of libraries and the Internet to enlarge their reading and enrich their knowledge. It can also make students understand more about the reading passage in this unit.One of Annes Diaries:Saturday, 15 July, 1944“For in its innermost depths youth is lonelier than old age. ” I read this saying in some book and Ive always remembered it, and found it to be true. Is it true then that grownups have a more difficult time here than we do? No. I know it isnt. Older people have formed their opinions about everything, and dont waver before they act. Its twice as hard for us young ones to hold our ground, and maintain our opinions. . .Anyone who claims that the older ones have a more difficult time here certainly doesnt realize to what extent our problems weigh down on us, problems for which we are probably much too young, but which are continuous, until, after a long time, we think weve found a solution, but the solution doesnt seem able to resist the facts which put it to nothing again. Thats the difficulty in these times:ideals, dreams, and cherished hopes rise within us, only to meet the terrible truth and be destroyed.Its really a wonder that I havent dropped all my ideals, because they seem so unbelievable and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. . .第 6 頁 共 6 頁
