必修4 Unit 2 Working the land教学设计必修4 Unit 2 Working the land一、课标内容二、教学要求(Teaching demands)三、教学建议(Suggested teaching notes)1、课时分配2、教材各部分教学建议本单元的中心话题是“农业”。
“热身”（Warming Up）部分围绕有关农业、农村和农作物种植的内容提问，让学生谈谈对农村和农业劳动的认识或经验。
采用讨论法，在讨论中，教师可充分调动来自农村的学生的讨论积极性，并给予学生一个互相学习和交流的机会。
对于没有这方面知识和体验的学生，教师应鼓励他们利用这一机会进行社会调查，有条件的最好能到农村体验生活，让学生有机会真正了解农村生活，了解中国农民的生活现状，提高他们对农业的认识，使来自城镇的现代农业知识的中学生对农村和农业有一定感性认识。
“读前”（Pre-reading）部分提了两组问题。
第一组问题讨论大米在东亚和东南亚国家的人民基本生活中所处的地位；第二组问题提出了世界上迫切要解决的现象即饥饿。
有关讨论不仅力图激发学生的创造性思维，帮助对课文的理解，为阅读部分的教学做好铺垫。
同时让学生了解世界上还存在极其严重的饥饿问题，培养了学生的同情心和人道主义精神。
“阅读”（Reading）部分介绍中国著名的农业科学家、“水稻之父”袁隆平和他的巨大成就。
第一段通过对袁隆平的外貌描写，刻画出一个普通中国农民的形象。
袁隆平也称他自己是农民，也和农民一起耕种，他的科研殿堂就是广阔的农村。
然后介绍袁隆平的科研成果—超级杂交水稻。
第二段介绍袁隆平的家庭背景、学业和科研情况。
第三段勾勒出袁博士不图名不图利，无私奉献的高尚品质。
教学中我们可以引导学生从不同角度分析袁隆平的工作、成就、生活及人格魅力等，勾画出一个过着普通人的生活，干着伟大的事业人先进人物；塑造了一个朴实、务实的中国农业科学家的形象。
“理解”（Comprehending）部分设计了三个练习。

Lead-in.Poem By Li ShenFarmers weeding at noon,Sweat down the field soon.Who knows food on a tray,Due to their toiling day.Then let one student recite the poem in Chinese.Step 2. Warming up by questioningHello, everyone. We shall read about man who works the land today. Have you ever grown any plants? If not, what kind of plant would you like to grow? How will you grow it?(For reference: Mr. Li, I worked with my father in the rice field last year. We grow hybrid rice and use animal wastes to make the soil rich.)Has anyone of you ever been to the countryside? What did you do there?(For reference: I went to Chuankou the day before yesterday.

They are the bases of the traditional food in North China. )If you had the chance to do one thing to help end hunger in the world, what would you do?(For reference: I would try to end hunger by popularizing the advanced farming techniques. Modern techniques could be introduced to increase the rice output, and expand the area of fields.) Giving background information about Professor Yuan LongpingHave you ever heard of a man called Professor Yuan Longping? Would anyone of you tell the class something about him?(For reference: Professor Y uan Longping is a Chinese agricultural scientist. Professor Yuan's breakthrough scientific achievement led to the world's first successful and widely grown hybrid rice varieties, revolutionizing rice cultivation in China and tripling production over a generation. His approach to rice breeding then spread internationally throughout Asia and to Africa and the Americas, providing food for tens of millions and leading to his becoming known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice."Step 4. ReadingReading 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 9 and read aloud to the recording of the text A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE. Pay attention to the thought groups in the sentences while listening and reading aloud.A brief introduction:Yuan Longping is known as China’s ―father of hybrid rice‖. It’s said that in China, we eat depending on ―Two Ping‖ ---- Deng Xiaoping, who made the policy of System of Production Responsibility, & Yuan Longping, who invented hybrid rice.Yuan Longping, who was born in September, 1930, graduated from Agriculture Department in Southwest Agricultural Institute. He has been working on agriculture education & the research into hybrid rice since he left the institute.In the 1960s, when China was suffering from serious famine, he came up with the idea of hybrid rice, which has a high yield ( or output). Ten years later, he succeeded in inventing a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice.Yuan devoted himself to the research into agriculture, & was honored by UNESCO & FAO(联合国教科文组织）. Although he is 74 years old, he is still working on the research into agriculture. Step 5 课后反思：Period 2 ReadingStep 1. Lead-in. Listen to the tape carefully then answer these questions.1）When and who did become the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output?2）What did Yuan Longping invent?Step2. Read the passage once again,then find out these sentences true or false.1）Dr Yuan is more a farmer than a scientist.2）Dr Yuan’s kind of rice is the most suitable for China’s farmland.3）Dr Yuan would rather work than relax.4）Dr Yuan has dreams when he is asleep and also when he is awake.5）Dr Yuan enjoys a simpler life than most rich and famous people.Step3. Find out the topic sentences of each paragraphPara. 1: He became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. Para.2:He has devoted his life to finding ways to grow more and more rice..Para.3:He cares little about spending the money on himself and would rather keep time for his hobbies.Para.4 Dr. Yuan’s dreams.Step4. Write down Y uan Longping’s personal informationIn pairs, read the text, find information to complete the following form.Facts about Yuan Longping Facts abou t Yuan’s super hybridriceage capacityeducation applicationmajor contributionhobby overseasideal futureStep 5 课后反思：Period 3 using languageStep 1. Language points:1. Struggle for…为争取……而斗争Struggle against…为反对……而斗争Struggle wi th… 与……争斗1）The swimmer struggled against the tide.2）We had to struggle with/against all kinds of difficulties.3）The slaves struggled for the freedom2. 使做…成为… make +it +adj./n. +to do好天气使游泳成为可能The fine weather makes it possible( for us )to swim.他将每早跑步做为一个规则He makes it a rule to run every morning.其他可用这种结构的词:feel, find, think, consider…3.搜查,搜索search (sb. / sth.) for …He searched all the rooms for the missing person.They searched the man all over for money.4.由于,多亏thanks to 相当于because of5.是从前两倍那么多twice as large as before相当于once larger than before6.对……感到满意be satisfied with…相当于be pleased withadj. satisfactory/satisfyingn. satisfaction7.在乎，在意care about比较care forMy aunt cared for me when my parents were away last week.Dr Yuan never cares about money and fame.8. Indeed, his sunburn face and arms and his slim, strong body are like those of millions of other Chinese farmers.e.g: The streets in Beijing are wider than those in my hometown.The number of students in our school is larger than that in their school.9. Dr Yuan grows what is called super hybrid rice.e.g: He came to what is called America.10. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one -third more of the crop in the same fields.e.g: That made it possible for life to begin to develop.The development of science makes it possible for us to know more about the universe.11. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice (that could feed more people).e.g: He went to the U.S with the hope of finding a better job there.Step 2. Closing down by having a dictationTo end the period you will take a dictation. It is about Yuan Longping, ―Father of Super hybrid rice‖.Yuan Longping, China's Most Famous "Farmer"Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the world in 1960s. Since then, 50 percent of China's total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to the country's grain output. Furrows grown on his sunburnt face, aslim figure and coiled-up trousers legs would confuse foreign reporters who came to interview the most famous scientist in China, who would rather be called ―a farmer‖. Indeed, like many Chinese farmers, Yuan in his 70s and has devoted most of his life growing rice in paddy fields, but unlike those farmers, he reaps the seed from experimental fields only for hybridizing rice.Step 3 课后反思：Period 4 Listening, Speaking and WritingLearning Aims：To help students read the passage Organic Farming.To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing.Teaching Procedures：Step 1. Warming up by listening and reading aloudLanguage is created to be listened to and spoken first. So open your book to page 13 and read it aloud while listening to the recording. Watch your pauses between the thought groups.Step 2. Guided reading1. Reading and translatingRead the text sentence by sentence, and put it into Chinese. Who will be the first to try. I will only have four of you to do this task.2. Reading and underliningNext you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage.
