And do you like them?Ss: Yes. They are very beautiful and lovely. / Some are ugly and dangerous. / I like them very much whether they are beautiful or ugly. / Yes, they are very nice ...T: Mm, I see. But where did you see them?Ss: At an aquarium. / In the tunnel under the sea. / In the zoo. / On TV, the programs about the sea animals. / On the Internet. I have seen a lot of pictures about the sea animals and plants ...T: V ery good. You see, your sight of sea animals is limited. Do you want to know more about them?Ss: Yes! Very much! But how?T: Now you can talk to each other in pairs about the sea animals and plants you’ve seen before to enrich your knowledge of them. Use the list on Page 19 to help you.Th e Ss begin to talk about the plants and animals under the sea they’ve seen before and the teacher can walk around to see what they are talking about. After that the teacher can ask two or three pairs to act their dialogues out.Possible dialogue 1:Sa: Last summer holiday, I went to Hainan Province with my parents. There when I was on my snorkelling trip, I saw many kinds of beautiful fish under the sea. They have so rich and fresh colors that I couldn’t believe my eyes.Sb: Do you know their names?Sa: No. So large variety of colorful fish that they made me astonished. But I could hardly call a single name of them. Maybe I saw sea anemones, which live on rocks and look like flowers.Sb: Have you seen anything special?Sa: Yes. I saw some corals, real and living corals. You know the red one is the most beautiful. Sb: Red? I’ve only seen white ones in decoration shops. I like its fantastic shapes. But I don’t know there are some red ones.Sa: Besides red ones, there are purple, yellow, blue, pink ones.Sb: Oh! That’s wonderful! How lucky you are! I like sea animals and plants very much but I haven’t seen them under the sea with my own eyes. I’ve only seen them on TV programs and in some films about living things under the sea.Sa: When we can earn enough money by ourselves, the first holiday trip would be going on a snorkelling trip.Sb: It’s a go!Possible dialogue 2:Sa: Once I saw many turtles in the Aquarium of Shanhaiguan. Some were so large that they couldn’t move very fast. Two or three of them had har d horns on their legs. It is said they must have lived at least over three hundred years before they have this kind of thing.Sb: Really? I’ve never heard about that. I have been to Shengya Ocean World in Dalian. I saw some large turtles but didn’t find th at kind of ones.Sa: You must have seen many fish, right?Sb: Certainly! A large number of animals and plants under the sea.Sa: Tell me more, please.Sb: Some eels, for example. They were long and thin with sharp teeth and swam very quickly. Small sharks in white-grey color swam in groups around the diver. They were active and seemed never to stop. The explainer told us that only a few kinds of sharks might attack people. There were also fat sea lions, yellow and green parrotfish, blue-striped angelfish, sea horses—they were very small, floating upright in water, sea stars in many colors and so on. There were also some sea plants such as kelp.Sa: That’s wonderful. I’ll ask my parents to take me there next summer holiday!T: V ery good job! You make me know more about the lovely sea animals. Would you like me to show you around the world under the sea?Ss: Hurray! We couldn’t wait any more!T: But remember, after you’ve seen each beautiful creature without name marked, you must try to write down the name of the animal or the plant in your exercise books, three of you will be asked to write the names on the blackboard. Whoever writes the names most quickly and accurately will get a small gift. Clear?Show pictures of sea plants and animals on the screen and ask the Ss to do the spelling job. If possible, a short video about the world under sea would be better.(1) (2)(3) (4)(5) (6)(7) (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13) (14)Names of these sea animals and plants:(1) white whale 白鲸(2) anemone 海葵 (3) sea star 海星(4) shark 鲨鱼 (5) coral 珊瑚 (6) butterfly fish 蝴蝶鱼 (7) sea horse 海马(8) turtle 海龟 (9) parrot fish 鹦嘴鱼(10) kelp 海带 (11) eel 海鳗 (12) angel fish 天使鱼(13) anemone fish 海葵鱼(14) dolphin 海豚 T: Aren’t they beautiful! I think you’ve known more about sea animals and plants. Now, let’s work in groups of four, making a list about what you have known about them to collect the information. Draw a form like this and then fill in it. Show the following form on the screen. After the Ss have finished, show a fulfilled one as a summary.Step Ⅱ Pre-readingLet the Ss talk about the picture in Pre-reading and get them prepared for the reading passage.T: Now look at the picture in Pre-reading. What can you see and what do you think is happening in it?S: In the picture we can see a huge fish, from the water spurted out of the blow-hole on its head we can know it must be a whale. There are some big fish running after it. They are having a fight, I guess.S: There is a small boat not far from the whale. The people on the boat might be hunting whales. I heard of it before.T: If you want to uncover the puzzle, read the words on the left side of the picture.After a short while.T: What does anecdote mean? Have you got its meaning from the dictionary?S: It means a short story based on your personal experience.T: Right! So what are the main characters of the story?S: Whalers, killer whales and baleen whales.T: But what is the real name of the killers? And how did they help the whalers to catch the baleenwhales? Let’s read the text and find th e answers.Step Ⅲ Reading comprehendingIn this step, the Ss will read the text and deal with the comprehending exercises.SkimmingLet the Ss skim the text and get the main ideas of the two anecdotes.After skimming.T: Who is Old Tom? What is the first anecdote about?S: Old Tom is the name of killer whales. The first anecdote describes a hunting experience about how the killer whales helped the whalers to hunt a whale.T: Good! How about the second one?S: It tells about how a killer whale protected and saved James, a whaler.ScanningLet the Ss do scanning and find the answers to the questions in Exercise 2.T: First, go through the questions in Exercise 2 on Page 21, and then I will give you several minutes to do scanning.A few minutes later, guide the Ss to do pair work (as follows), while the teacher can walk around to see if they have any problems to deal with.Sa: What evidence was there that Old Tom was helping the whalers out?Sb: Old Tom was swimming by the boat, showing us the way and leading us to the hunt. George started beating the water with his oar and there was Tom, circling back to the boat, leading us to the hunt again ...Then ask some pairs to ask and answer the questions before class.T: V ery good! Now close your books and we’ll list en to the tape of this text. Take out a piece of paper. Look at the screen, while you are listening, pay attention to the whole story and try to write down the missing words in the sentences according to what you hear. Are you ready?Show the following sentences on the screen. (The sentences are given with blanks.)1. I thought, at the time, that this was just a story but then I witnessed it with my own eyes many times.2. …as I was sorting out my accommodation, I heard a loud noise coming from the bay.3. We ran down to the shore in time to see an enormous animal throwing itself out of the water and then crashing down again.4. “Come on, Clancy. To the boat,” George said as he ran ahead of me.5. As we drew closer, I could see a whale being attacked by a pack of about six other killers.6. And those others are stopping it diving or fleeing out to sea.7. Within a moment or two, its body was dragged swiftly by the killers down into the depths of the sea.8. In the meantime, Old Tom, and the others are having a good feed on its lips and tongue.After playing the tape, ask someone to spell out the words or write them down on the Bb to check their listening and spelling tasks. At last, show the answers on the screen.Step Ⅳ DiscussionDeal with Exercise 3 in Comprehending. Let the Ss work in groups and do some discussion.T: Look at the title of this text: Old Tom the Killer Whale. Who is Old Tom and what is special about it?S: It is a killer whale! It’s the head of the killer whale team, I think.S: Maybe it is the most clever and powerful one in the team.T: Now in groups, discuss the relationship between Old Tom and the whalers. Then discuss what other animals help out humans in hunting.A sample description:Sa: Old Tom is honest and helpful to the whalers and the whalers are very kind to Old Tom and its group, too. They’re just like good friends.Sb: I think so. Maybe Old Tom and other killers have been trained by the whalers, just like hunting dogs, they get on well with the whalers. In everyday life they take care of each other and in an emergency, they help each other.Sc: Speaking to hunting dogs, I think they are the most typical animals that help out humans in hunting. Upon meeting the quarries, they are very excited and listen to their masters very well to hunt for them. If there is a group of dogs, they may work together till they help the master catch the quarries. Then they will be very happy and come back to the master to report their success. That’s very interesting. And if their master is in d anger, they will rush up to rescue him. There aremany moving stories of this kind.Sd: Yes. After reading the text, we can learn more about the relationship between humans and animals. Humans and animals should depend on each other and be kind to each other. Only in that way, can the world be more harmonious and beautiful.Deal with some language points.Step Ⅴ HomeworkT: As a matter of fact, whales are now an endangered animal. Many people are trying to protect them from being hunted. The last whaling station in Australia closed in 1978. But some countries oppose the ban. And there are still people who hunt whales. What’s your opinion? Are you for or against the banning whaling? Consider the problem carefully and we’ll have a discussion tomorrow. Good-bye everyone!。

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre­readingDo you know Wilma Rudolph who is deaf and dumb? And what did she do to try to get over the difficulties? Please read the following passage to get the answers.They called her “the Black Pearl”，“the Black Gazelle”and “the fastest woman in the world”. In 1960, Wilma Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in one Olympics. She was an extraordinary American athlete. She also did a lot to help young athletes succeed.Wilma Rudolph was born in 1940, in Saint Bethlehem, Tennessee. She was born too early and only weighed two kilograms. She had many illnesses when she was very young, including pneumonia and scarlet fever. She also had polio, which damaged her left leg. When she was six years old, she began to wear metal leg braces (支架) because she could not use that leg.Every week, Wilma's mother drove her to a special doctor 80 kilometers away. Here, she got physical treatments to help heal her leg. She later said, “My doctorstold me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.”Soon, her family's care showed results. By the time she was 9 years old, she no longer needed her leg braces. Wilma was very happy, because she could now run and play like other children. When she was 11 years old, her brothers set up a basketball hoop in the backyard. After that, she played basketball every day.Wilma Rudolph went to her first Olympic Games when she was 16 years old and still in high school. She was the youngest member of the United States team. She won a bronze medal in the sprint (短跑) relay event.In 1957, Wilma Rudolph started studying at Tennessee State University, where she joined the track team. She did very well at her track competitions against teams from other colleges. In 1960, she set the world record for the fastest time in the 200­meter event. She said，“I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.”That same year, Wilma Rudolph went to the Olympics again, this time in Rome, Italy. She won two gold medals in the 100­meter and the 200­meter races. She set a new Olympic record of 23.2 seconds for the 200­meter dash. Her team also won the gold medal in the 400­meter sprint relay event, setting a world record of 44.5 seconds. These three gold medals made her one of the most popular athletes at the Rome Games. These victories made people call her the “world's fastest woman”．Warming Up1．Look at the following pictures and fill in the blanks.(1)Tai Lihua, who is deaf and dumb, is well­received as a famous dancer throughout China.(2)Though blind,_Yang Guang is a young singer and a splendid mimic, who is good at imitating famous figures.(3)Stephen Hawking is one of the greatest scientists all over the world, who is suffering from a severe disease.(4)Zhang Haidi, recovering from a serious disease and getting paralyzed, now is a marvelous writer and translator in our country.2.What attitudes should we take towards the disabled?First of all, we should treat them as normal people and don't look down upon them.
