At the beginning of the class, the teacher can leadin the topic of the unit by having a free talk with students about their winter holidays and the Spring Festival.The Warming Up is intended to have students start thinking about the variety of events and festivals that are celebrated in China, and connect them with seasons of the year and reasons for the celebrations. The teacher can use this part to introduce information that Chinese students should have about their country’s cultural events.The Pre-reading is a continuation of the Warming Up and it moves the discussion to a more personal level. It is intended to help students enter imaginatively into a discussion of festivals and their importance to the society. It also directs their attention to the variety of events and activitiesthose festivals include. The teacher should let students discuss the questions and predict what kind of information will be introduced in the Reading.The reading passage titled FESTIV ALS AND CELEBRATIONS briefly describes the earliest kinds of festivals with the reasons for them, and then four different kinds of festivals that occur in most parts of the world. Encourage students to look at the pictures and the heading of each section to guess what the text might be about. Then let them skim for the general idea for each section, and scan for further understanding. Because this passage introduces a lot of useful new words and expressions which are only used for festivals, in order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading. After reading, students are required to do the four exercises in the prehending to see how much they have understood the reading passage. The teacher can first let them work in pairs or in groups to find the answers cooperatively, and then check their answers with the whole class.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, students should be required to talk about festivals in their own words at the end of the class. In order to arouse students’ interest, the teacher can hold a petition between groups.教学重点1. Let students learn more about history and basic knowledge of festivals.2.

Unit 1 Festivals around the world Ｉ．单元教学目标II．目标语言III. 教材分析与教材重组1. 教材分析本单元以节日为话题，介绍古今中外节日的种类、由来、意义以及人们的活动和习俗，旨在通过本单元的学习使学生不但了解我国的节日，而且对外国的节日也有所了解，进而拓展社会文化背景、增加跨国文化知识；使学生复习和巩固运用请求和感谢的表达法，掌握情态动词的用法；并尝试根据阅读的文章写一个不同的结局，能表达自己的观点和想法。

1.1 Warming Up 旨在通过表格引导学生讨论并列举出五个我国节日的日期、庆祝内容和民俗。

可以刚刚过去的春节为话题导入对节日的讨论；使他们由自己的经历谈起，扩展到别的节日以及外国的重要节日，激发学生的兴趣，激活他们关于节日的背景知识，为本单元的学习做准备。

1.2 Pre-reading是Reading 的热身活动。

主要通过两个问题引导学生思考并讨论自己最喜欢的节日及欢度方式，进而了解学生对节日的认识，以便为阅读作好铺垫。

1.3 Reading 的五篇小短文分别介绍古代节日、亡灵节、纪念名人的节日、丰收节、春天的节日等，使学生了解各种节日的由来及其存在的意义。

此部分载有Festivals的重要信息，还呈现了大量的词汇和主要的语法---情态动词的用法。

处理时应作为重点、整体处理，通过上下文来教词汇、语法，并引导学生分析长句、难句和复杂句。

1.4 Comprehending是考察对阅读内容的进一步理解。

练习一：六个问题让学生对文章内容有浅层理解并考察课文细节，但又不能仅仅拘泥于课文，要引导学生理解课文内容的基础上联系现实生活。

练习二：要求学生讨论哪些节日是最重要的，哪些是最有趣的，以表格的形式检查学生对所读节日的理解，并训练他们举一反三的归纳和推理能力。

练习三：要求学生找出各种节日共有的三件事，然后讨论为什么这些事对各地的人们都很重要。

这就要求学生不仅要温习文章内容而且要结合实际，阐述自己的想法，挖掘学生的思维能力和语言表达能力。

The car is as small as a bike but can carry two people in it. Everybody can drive it easily, just like riding a bike. Even children and old people can drive them to schools and parks.If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for all the cars in cities, and the streets will have more space for people to walk. Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.The little cars of the future will cost much less money to own and to drive. And they can go only 65 kilometers an hour, so driving will be safer, too.The cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for a long trip.This kind of car can save a lot of gasoline. They will go 450 kilometers before needing to stop for more gasoline.If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.判断正误：24. The little car are surely to take the place of the big cars.( )25. This new kind of car can carry as many people as the usual cars.( )26. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air.( )27. Driving the little car will be more dangerous.( )28. If big cars are still used along with the little ones, only one set of roadwill be needed in the future.( )BIn England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience (经历) four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes. When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella (伞)or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them.If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day. Just as the saying goes: When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do. The same is true that when two people meet for the first time, the safest topic for them to begin with a conversation is the weather. But remember: it’s just a small talk. So, when a stranger is trying to talk about what’s the weather like with you, you needn’t offer the details of the weather, for what he really wants to do is to greet you.29.

These times of celebration offer a sense of belonging for religious, social, or geographical groups. Modern festivals that focus on cultural or ethnic topics seek to inform members of their traditions. In past times, festivals were times when the elderly shared stories and transferred certain knowledge to the next generation. Historic feasts often provided a means for unity among families and for people to find mates. Select anniversaries have annual festivals to commemorate previous significant occurrences.*What’s the function of festivals?Festivals serve to meet_________, as well as to provide________. These times of celebration offer a sense of ___________________.Types of festivalsThere are numerous types of festivals in the world. Though many have religious origins, others involve seasonal change or have some cultural significance. Also certain institutions celebrate their own festival (often called "fests") to mark some significant occasions in their history. These occasions could be the day these institutions were founded or any other event which they decide to commemorate periodically, usually annually.*How many types of festivals are there? ______________________________Seasonal festivalsSeasonal festivals are determined by the solar and the lunar calendars and by the cycle of the seasons.

In the Alps, in autumn the return of the cattle from the mountain pastures to the stables in the valley is celebrated as Almabtrieb.
