英语：Unit2《Robots》Period 1教案（新人教版选修7）指导思想与理论依据1．指导思想本课题努力结合新课程的理念，将课堂教学放在具体的语言情景之中；努力培养学生的综合语言运用能力，并且把听、说、读、写语言技能的训练综合运用于课堂教学之中。

通过探究法、观察法和发现法，让学生发挥主观能动性，利用两两合作、小组活动的方式，激发学生参与教学的热情，让学生整堂课都处于新鲜感不断的亢奋状态中。

根据学生的认知能力和接受程度，设计了写作等任务，使语言得到输出，可以使学生产生继续学习的动力。

总之，本次设计的宗旨是努力提高课堂教学的实效性，使学生能够提高语言的实际运用能力，达到最终教学的目的。

2．理论依据《普通高中英语课程标准》明确提出：“要通过设计丰富多彩的课内外学习活动，使学生在参与交际活动的过程中形成交际策略。

”教材内容分析本单元以机器人和科幻小说为话题，介绍了20世纪世界知名的科幻小说家Isaac Asimov发表于1951年的Satisfaction Guaranteed 和他的生平。

通过本单元的教学，旨在让学生了解科幻小说最大的特征在于：它赋予了“幻想”依靠科技在未来得以实现的极大可能，甚至有些“科学幻想”在多年以后，的确在科学上成了现实。

如Isaac Asimov 1951年描述的机器人的部分功能已经被应用于现实生活和工作中。

在教学中，要鼓励学生敢于幻想，大胆创新，发挥自己丰富的想象力和创作力，写出独具特色的科幻文章。

教学内容如下：Warming Up介绍了机器人的制造、种类、功能等等，再让学生分组列表，把自己熟悉的科幻文艺形式(科幻故事、电影、电脑游戏、电视剧、卡通等等)写出来，并进行简单地交流。

Pre－reading 通过讨论机器人是否像人类一样有自己的思维、是否有感情引出Isaac Asimov 的科幻小说Satisfaction Guaranteed，为本单元的Reading做好了铺垫。

Period 7Speaking,Listening and Writing TaskTeaching goals1．Talk about different types of robots by using expressions of supposition and belief.2．Listen to three people talking about robot pets。

3．Write a diary from the robot pet’s point of view.Teaching proceduresStep 1Speaking taskAsk students to use their imagination in groups to discuss the types of robots that could be used in the future。

Guide them to use the expressions below in the discussion。

错误!Sample:Robots can be found in the manufacturing industry，the military,space exploration，transportation，and medical applications.Well，for my conclusion I_guess that robots are the way of the future and will be used on a daily use without being controlled remotely or by a person。

I_think there will be different robots for different uses.Some will be used for law enforcement and others will be used for constructive uses only。

Unit 2 RobotsI. 教学内容分析本单元的话题是机器人，文学作品中的机器人以及科幻小说作者——阿西莫夫。

由于人们对这个话题了解的比较少，所以当我们谈起机器人的时候，人们常会想到是科幻小说，童话故事，卡通故事等。

但是机器人已经在我们现实生活中存在了，它们被广泛应用于工农业生产及军事领域。

许多机器人在家中做繁杂的家务，甚至代替人类从事一些危险的工作。

本单元介绍了各种各样的机器人，从科幻小说中的想像到现实世界中的应用，以及将来机器人的发展。

Warming Up部分展示了几副图画，通过让学生们讨论这几副图画，导入本单元的话题，并让学生试着给机器人下定义。

Pre-reading部分一些关于机器人的讨论进一步激发学生对科学的热爱。

Reading部分是根据科幻小说作家——阿西莫夫的故事改编的。

在这个故事里非常具有人类智能的机器人托尼，来到主人公克莱尔家之后，帮助她做家务并帮她解决了一些难题。

他不仅提高了她家的家庭品位并且提高了她自身的形象，致使克莱尔对他产生了复杂的感情。

这完全不同于一般的对机器人的描写，而是把它上升到一个人工智能的高度——机器人对人类感情的影响。

Learning about Language部分突出了词汇和语法的学习与训练。

其中本单元复习的语法项目是被动语态和动词不定式的被动形式。

Using Language部分中的阅读文章介绍了科幻小说作者——阿西莫夫。

这篇人物传记使学生进一步了解了Reading部分作者的生平以及科幻小说、机器人等。

阿西莫夫对机器人的看法深深地影响到以后的作家，甚至科学家对人工智能的研究。

Summing Up部分引导学生对本单元所学的知识进行归纳和总结。

Unit 2 Robots【美文阅读】Robotic age draws closer随着科技的发展，机器人时代的到来已经指日可待了。

These days，robots are more common than you might think.Consider the Roomba，a robotic vacuum(吸尘器)which cleans floors on its own.“We wanted to make something simple that people could use every day，”says Greiner，co­founder of IRobot，the company that makes the smart vacuum.“And that's what inspired us to build the Roomba.”Some robots like the Roomba are already very common in many US households.IRobot makes everything from the Roomba to robots that someday might become a part of us.“You can have robotics equipped into your body，to get back that arm or leg that you've lost，either in some accident or disease，”says Greiner.Although robots have been developed mainly for military(军用的)applications，civilian uses for the technology are growing，according to Michael Toscano，president of the Association for Unmanned(自控的)Vehicles International.“Unmanned systems allow human beings to do their task with an extension of their hands，their eyes and their ears.”“We can put them in the ocean and they'll swim for eight or nine months，collecting data and monitoring ocean pollution，”says Hudson of IRobot.Recently the US Government's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA)displayed a“robotic man”．In stead of depending on remote­control，DARPA's“robotic man”can actually look at some blocks，find one with a special pattern，and move it to a new location.Mandelbaum，DARPA's project manager，says more challenging tasks lie ahead.Some day，a DARPA robot might find a hidden bomb or help a disabled person select a shirt and button it.To advance the technology，DARPA plans to let members of the public write software for the“robotic man”，then sign onto the Internet and watch a model of“robotic man”perform the task.It's one of the ways that robots will help humankind to extend its reach. 【诱思导学】1．What does the company IRobot do according to the passage?________________________________________________________________________ 2．What can you imagine the robot will do for us in the future?________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1.It makes the smart vacuum. 2.略Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标初步掌握本课文中的词汇，浅层次理解课文，了解相关的背景知识。

Share your answers with a partner. Listen once or twice more to check your answers.Suggested answers：Step 3Reading task1．As we know，Robots are designed and built to do a task that is dangerous，uncomfortable，or repetitive for humans. Today we are going to read a magazine article about landmines.First，ask students to read this piece of news about landmines.Three decades of war in Cambodia have left scars in many forms throughout the country. Unfortunately，one of the most lasting legacies of the conflicts continues to claim new victims daily. Landmines，laid by the Khmer Rouge，the Heng Samrin and Hun Sen regimes，the Vietnamese，the KPNLF，and the Sihanoukists litter the countryside. In most cases，even the soldiers who planted the mines did not record where they were placed. Now，Cambodia has the one of the highest rates of physical disability of any country in the world. At the current rate of progress，it may take as many as 100 years to clear all the mines in Cambodia，and the UN estimates that with current technology，it will take nearly 1100 years to clear all the mines in the world.2．Next，present the students some mine signs and remind students that in spite of so many warning signs，there are still many victims as the pictures show.(In spite of so many warning signs，there are still many victims.Look at the following pictures.)3．Ask students to glance through the text quickly and answer the following questions in Exercise 1 on Page 58.(1)What is the main topic of this article？Which part of the text tells you that?(2)Who wrote the article?(3)What do the three pictures show you?(4)Where is research being done on robots that can find landmines?(5)In which two countries might the robots be used?Suggested answers：(1)The main topic is the role of robots in the fight against landmines.

Then fill in the table below.Suggested answers：Step 4Discussion1．First，ask students to read the following materials.From the text we've learned how serious the situation is. Many lives are put into danger. So we must do something to improve the situation. As we know，the US hasn't yet committed to the Mine Ban Treaty. I hope you will write a letter of suggestion to the president of the US. You may refer to the text 2．Encourage students to write a letter of suggestion to the president of the US，for the US hasn't yet committed to the Mine Ban Treaty. In the letter you will suggest the US should stop manufacturing landmines and spend more money on solutions to clearing landmines，for example developing new robots to remove the landmines.You can refer to the following material：Producing one landmine costs $3，yet once in the ground it can cost more than $1000 to find and destroy，according to the ICBL.Over 80 per cent of the 15 000 to 20 000 landmine victims each year are civilians，and at least one in five are children，according to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL)．The deadly legacy of landmines far outlasts the conflicts that gave rise to them. Among the most contaminated countries are Iraq，Cambodia，Afghanistan，Colombia，and Angola. If time is limited，ask students to finish it after class.Step 5HomeworkFinish writing the letter to the president of the US.A sample：Dear Mr.President，I read in the newspaper that the US hasn't yet committed to the Mine Ban Treaty. I'm writing to suggest your country sign on the agreement.1．Landmines kill or badly injure around 26 000 people every year. There are about 100 million landmines buried just beneath the surface of the ground in 60 countries. Among the most contaminated countries are Iraq，Cambodia，Afghanistan，Colombia，and Angola. I think this is one reason why people inthese countries hate the US so much.2．Producing one landmine costs $3，yet once in the ground it can cost more than $1000 to find and destroy，according to the ICBL. So stop manufacturing landmines and spend more money on finding solutions to clearing the landmines. As you know，your country has designed the most advanced robots. Why not use your advanced technology and spend more money on designing some robots to clear the landmines. If so，it will benefit the whole world. People all over the world will think highly of you and your country. You and your country will become more influential.Japan has set a good example. They have developed robots that can be used to clear landmines. I hope your government will follow Japan's example.Thank you for reading the letter. I hope you will consider my suggestions.I believe you also hope the whole world will enjoy peace. Let's work together and make a peaceful world.Yours sincerely，Sun Cheng。
