Module 6Old and New【美文阅读】The Yangtze River is home to one of the most beautiful natural scenes of China－the Three Gorges.But for generations，Chinese people have long dreamed of taming(制服，使顺从) the Yangtze River for power generation and flood control.The river's endless floods have brought destruction and death for centuries－1 million deaths in the 20th century alone.Nowadays，along the Yangtze River，the third longest river in the world，a great construction project，the Three Gorges Dam is in progress.Once pleted in 2016，it will be the largest and most powerful hydro-electric project in the world.Towering 610 feet high and stretching 1.3 miles wide，the dam will create a reservoir that extends nearly 400 miles upstream thus changing the original landscape of this region.The project has been under discussion in China since the idea of the dam was first put forward in 1919.The Three Gorges Dam is both a marvel of engineering and the greatest challenge its designers have ever faced.The Three Gorges Dam has been engineered to store over 5 trillion gallons(加仑)of water and to withstand(经得起) an earthquake of 7.0 on the Richter scale(里氏级)．In addition, the government says the dam will control terrifying floods and provide electrical power to China's growing cities.Like China's Great Wall，it will be one of the few man-made structures that can be seen from space.The Chinese government and the dam's engineers think of the project as a symbol of national pride.【诱思导学】What do you think of the Three Gorges Dam project?【答案】Students' own answer.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，对下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。

efforts The man-made canal，part of the Three Gorges Project on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River，was successfully sealed off.The damming marked the start of a new phase of construction for the project，considered by experts to be the world's largest water control facility.The project generated a great deal of controversy in the 50 years prior to its initiation in 1993.Initially，the controversy centred on financial and technical difficulties which eventually gave way to environmental concerns.Lu Youmei，general manager of the China Yangtze River Three Gorges Project Development Co.，said，“Flooding results from ecological imbalance.”“Th e prime objective of the Three Gorges Project is to prevent flooding on the Yangtze River，” explained Lu，who is also a famous water control expert.China has a long history of flooding along its many rivers.Historical records say that during the more than 2,000 years preceding the founding of the New China in 1949，there was one flooding incident every two years.In addition，the frequent and serious flooding on the Yangtze River in the past more than one decade has generated enormous losses.Chinese scientists agree that the Three Gorges Project should be constructed for the purpose of curbing flooding on the mighty Yangtze，however，they also feel that greater efforts should be made to prevent potential environmental damage.As a result of the construction of the Three Gorges Project，local residents have elected to either relocate to higher elevations or simply move to other parts of the country.Local industries considered as polluters have been either relocated or shut down.。

MODULE 6 Old and New古今鉴赏The Three Gorges Dam三峡大坝“Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain”“更立西江石壁，截断巫山云雨”Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he dreamed of“Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain till a smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges”.毛泽东写过一首词，在词中，他想象了“更立西江石壁，截断巫山云雨，高峡出平湖”的壮丽景观。

Now his dream has come true. The power of the Yangtze River, which is the world's third longest river, has been harnessed by the Three Gorges Dam.如今，他的理想变成了现实，世界第三长河——长江的水力已经被三峡大坝很好地利用了。

The Three Gorges Dam, which is the biggest construction project in China since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, has been built to control flooding and provide hydro-electric power for the central region of China.三峡大坝是中国自万里长城和京杭大运河以来最大的建筑工程，它是作为防洪大坝和中国巨型水利枢纽而建的。

The dam is nearly 200 metres high and kilometres wide. It is the largest hydro-electric power station and dam in the world and has cost more than any other construction project in history.大坝高约200米，宽约千米，是世界上最大的水力发电站和水坝，耗资超过历史上其他所有的建筑工程。

Finally, help students form positive attitudes toward the development of our country.Aspect2 Teaching Plan in this moduleAccording to the the Principle of Inputting information in the beginning and Outputting information in the end in the new curriculum, I have divided this module into six periods belowPeriod 1: Introduction + Function and Everyday English+ SpeakingPeriod 2: Reading and V ocabularyPeriod 3: Grammar 1 & Grammar 2Period 4: Listening and PronunciationPeriod 5: Cultural Corner + Task + WritingPeriod 6: Module fileAspect3 Teaching plan for Book3 Module6 Reading and VocabularyPartⅠ. Analysis of the teaching materialModule 6 is about the introduction of some famous constructions such as The GreatWall of China; Hong Kong International Airport ; The Three Gorges Dam . I prepare the whole module in this way:This period -reading and V ocabulary is in the second period of this module. It's a reading comprehension text for the ss to learn something about the Three Gorges Dam in our country. At the same time, through some reading activities, their reading skills such as predicting, skimming, scanning, guessing and realizing can also be developed. This lesson is very important for the students to learn Chinese culture and improve the students' awareness of loving own hometown.Teaching Aims and DemandsNO.1 Knowledge goals: (Ask ss to grasp new words and expressions in the text:) construction ; relic; generate; harness; historical; narrow; poem; submerge; dream of come true; hold back; live a(n)……life; be equal to;The dam is nearly 200 meters high and 1.5 kilometers wide.Some of them are being removed and being put into museums.NO.2 Reading skills1). To get the main idea of the text.2). To learn about advantages and disadvantages of the Three Gorges Dam.3). To learn to read with strategies.NO.3 Cultural Awareness1).

The Ss have known something about some famous Chinese constructions and background of the reading through last period--Introduction , Function and Everyday English and SpeakingNO.2. They are lack of vocabulary, but they are asked to preview the new words with the help of the dictionary3). They don't often use English to express themselves and communicate with others.4). Some Ss are not active in class, because they are afraid of making mistakes. PartIII Analysis of the teaching methodsNO.1. The new curriculum emphasizes the principle of "taking the students as the host and the teacher subordinate" and advocates the cooperative learning, task-based learning, communicative learning. Therefore, I'll create as many chances as possible to make my students participate in ways of "student-centered; task-based" - "questions and answers", "double activities teaching method" "group discussion and pair work" "Free discussion method" and "search for and exchange information".NO.2. The theories of the second language acquisitionNO.3. Teaching tools: Multimedia facilities; Mp3. a recorderPartⅣ. Analysis of the learning approachInterest is the best teacher. But with the heavy study burden and impact of the traditional spoon-feeding teaching, sometimes the students may lose the interest in learning and are not independent enough. So how to motivate them, develop their interest and build up their self-study ability are the first things I am considering I request the students to study English independently, cooperatively . Group works can make a discussion and learn from each other. It makes each student relaxed. They needn't worry about making mistakes. It can arouse students to think and to say what they want to say. Study becomes more relaxing and pleasing in this kind of environment.PartV. Teaching proceduresThe time table of teaching stepsStept1 Lead-in------I’ll spend 5 minutes completing this step.1). show the poem on the screen, and ask: do you know the poem?
