111'Good evening，everyone! I hope you will enjoy my speech. My topic is the reading passage Come and Eat Here, which is in unit 2 book 3. I divide my speech into four parts namely my understanding of this lesson；teaching theories, methods and aids；teaching procedures and blackboard design.I. Now lets start with part 1. My understanding of this lesson:1. At first Id like to introduce the analysis of the teaching material. This lesson is a reading passage. It plays a very important part in the English teaching of this unit and in the whole senior middle school English, because we should lay particular emphasis on the students reading ability. It focuses on the students' abilities to gather information; deal with information; solve problems and the abilities to think and express in English. By studying the lesson, the students can improve their reading ability; learn more about a balanced diet and nutrition. At the same time, we should get the students to understand some difficult sentences to comprehend the passage better. The students should do some listening, speaking, reading and writing, too. Of course, the students should receive some moral education. 2. Now Ill talk about my teaching aims of this periodThe knowledge aims of this period are to enable the students to master some useful words and expressions and by the end of the lesson, the students will have a better understanding of the meaning and structure of the text.And developing the students reading ability by fast reading and intensive reading and let them learn different reading skills are the ability aims.For motional aims Ill stimulate the students sense to form a healthy eating habit and develop the students sense of cooperative learning.3. In my opinion the teaching important points in this period is how to improve the students reading ability.The teaching difficult points for the students are how to understand the text better and how to use the learned phrases and sentences to retell the text.II. Now lets focus on the second part about my teaching theories, methods and aids:Before the lesson, we should keep in mind something about students. In my class some students have known something about the topic, because they have talked about it in the previous period -warming up and speaking. But some long sentences are difficult for them to understand. They dont often use English to express themselves and communicate with others. Some students are not active in the class because they are afraid of making mistakes. So during the lesson, I arrange a variety of activities to let all of them join in to attract their interest and let them be confident and taste the joy of success. When I deal with this lesson, Ill do my best to carry out the theories of the new curriculum, such as task-based teaching and learning; cooperative learning and interactive approach; make the students the real masters in class while I, the teacher acts as director；combine the language structures with the language functions and let the students receive some moral education while they are learning the English language.And I will adopt fast reading to get a general idea of the text and careful reading to get the detailed information; pair or group work to get every student to be active in class; question-and-answer activity teaching method and free discussion method to make the students smooth away the difficulties, and retelling to sum up the whole period.Ill make full of modern equipment such as the multi-media and tape recorder to make the class more lively and interesting. With the help of the computer and courseware, I think the efficiency of the class will be greatly improved.III. Here comes the most important part, the teaching procedures:I have designed the following steps to train the students ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing, especially reading ability.Step1.Revision As it is the second period of this unit, Ill first check the students homework and then get a student to tell the class what a healthy diet contains. Thus I can offer a chance for the students to review the content in the first period（Look at some pictures）. Step2.Lead-in I will lead in the topic of the unit by showing the students a short film about healthy eating, in which a fat man and a thin man are eating different kind of diet, and they are both unhealthy. And then discuss the following questions to lead in the topic: What kind of food does each man like?Are they healthy? Why? Through this activity I can arouse the students interest of study and bring in new subject.Step3.Prediction for readingIll get the students to look at the title and the pictures and guess what the text might be about .It draw the students attention to the contain of the text.Step4. Fast readingAsk the students to read the passage quickly and get the main idea and the structure of text. Guide the students to find out key words and sentences or pay attention to the first sentences of each paragraph to get the main idea and the structure of the text. By doing this, I will train the students for fast reading skills to improve the students reading ability and let the students understand the general idea of each paragraph.Step5. Intensive readingThe students are required to focus on the whole text carefully paragraph by paragraph to locate particular information and finish the exercises on the screen. These exercises are mainly sentence judgments, choices about the text. They are designed from the easiest one to the most difficult one for different levels' Ss. The purpose is to train the students for the skills of scanning and to lead the students to find out the important facts and detailed information. Ill ask the students to finish the exercises by cooperation and competitions. They can first help each other under- stand the text and smooth away the difficulties. Then I'll divide the Ss into 4 groups. If a student can answer the question correctly, then his/ her group can get one point. And the group which gets the most points is the winner. Only through cooperation can the Ss taste the joy of success. If the Ss know their answer is right, he'll be confident and they'll surely become more enthusiastic in learning English. The purpose is to improve the students reading comprehension. And at the same time the students can become aware of the happiness of helping each other. Thus the students receive some moral education.Step 6.Discussion:For the students to understand the passage better, I will get the students to have a discussion in groups about the questions:1. What are the weakness and strength of the diet in Wang Pengs and Yong Huis restaurant?2. What do you think Wang Peng will provide to win his customers back？ These questions are based on the understanding of the passage and it can get the student to imagine the end of the story. They are open-ended questions, so the student can provide various answers. By doing so, I guide the students to activate their language that they have learned. Then invite some group members to report their work to the whole class to make them overcome their shyness and stimulate them to speak in public. I think the ability to use English is the most important. We spend so long studying English. We shouldnt end it just by attending the English entrance examination to get high marks. I gave the Ss some presents because of their excellent performances, thus enhancing their awareness of using English.Step7. ListeningPlay the tape of the passage for the students to listen and follow. Then ask them to read the text aloud. Tell them to pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation. At the some time, they can enjoy the beauty of the English language. And it can prepare the students for the retelling the text in the next step.Step8.Summary and retelling the text Since the students in the class are in different levels, first I will let them to fill in the blank to get an expression of the general idea of the text. And Ill ask the students to retell the story in their own words. Step9. HomeworkAt the end of the lesson, Ill tell the students to copy the useful phrases and sentences they like in their notebook and retell the passage and write it down in their own words.I think homework is important. It is necessary for the students to do some extensive exercises after class to consolidate the knowledge they learned. I want to improve the ability of their writing. At the same time, train the ability of do-it-yourself.IV. Part 4. Blackboard designAt last, let me show you my blackboard design: The title is in the middle. Below it are the main ideas of each paragraph， on the left of it are some language points mentioned in this period and on the right is the result of the competition,The Blackboard Design is to let the Ss have a clear idea to get the main content of this period, and it should be clear and artful. In this lesson, I lead the students understand the passage step by step, and help them to retell the text. In the whole period I just act as a director, giving the students some detailed task and letting the students explore the knowledge by themselves or in teamwork. The students are very active, and I fulfill the teaching aims very well. But there are some new language points in the passage, so I will explain them for the students next period.
