Ⅶ Teaching Procedures：
Step 1 warm-up and culture corner
In this period, we’ll first talk about different
kinds of heroes and heroines. Then deal with the culture corner-space heroes. In this way, we can get Ss familiar with the topics and make a good preparation for lesson 1.
Step 2 Reading(lesson 1,3 & 4)
In this unit, there are three passages. They are National Hero, Sports Stars and Superhero. I will adopt the teaching methods, that is, pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading.
Part1 Pre-reading:Generally speaking, In my lesson, first,I'll ask Ss to predict what the text is about according to the title or the pictures. then use some related pictures to arouse Ss' interest and introduce the text.
Part2 While-reading:Task1 Fast reading(The purpose is to improve the students’skimming ability.)Task2 Careful reading(The purpose is to practice the students’ ability of obtaining specific information, and to further strengthen vocabulary.) Part3 Post-reading:In this part, usually I'll list some key words for Ss to retell the purpose is to transform the students’ input into output, improve
their ability of retelling and train their awareness of co-operation and competition.
Step 3 Grammar
In this unit, we’ll review the Past Simple, Past Continuous and Present Perfect tenses. For Grammar learning, I’ll take “Observation—Imitation—Practice” strategy to help Ss.
Look at the sentences in pairs, work out the differences between Past Simple and Past Continuous.
1. The surface of the spaceship was glowing red when it came back into the earth’s atmosphere.
2. Millions of people all over China were
watching TV when the spaceship touched down safely.
Here I’d like to let Ss practice using the two tenses to do exercise 3 on P70. what I want to stress is that I’ ll choose some short passages for Ss to practice using tenses. I believe specific contexts can help Ss master the grammar better.
Step 4 listening
Due to kinds of reasons, our Ss pay less attention to listening, most of them aren’t able to listen successfully, they don’t like to listen,even they are afraid to listen. Besides, the listening materials in lesson 2 are very difficult. So in order to give Ss con fidence and reduce difficulty, first I’ll make Ss know about the background knowledge related to the listening, then teach them difficult words and sentences. Before listening, ask Ss to read the listening strategies. After listening, Ss should finish exercise 2 & 5.
Step 5 Communication workshop
1. In previous lessons, especially reading lessons, Ss get familiar with the topics and accumulate some language materials, so it is easy for them to talk sth about heroes.
2. Before speaking, ask Ss to read the speaking strategies and prepare for the discussion.
3. Ss first discuss in groups and then report their work to the whole class.
Homework:
Write a short passage about heroes.
