必修4 Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解The idea that you can use humour, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humour, laughter and play has an important part in keeping you healthy.Use “the best medicine”to treat the blues with a sense of humour, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play,and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.Anyway,adding humour,laughter,and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humour, laughter and play to make our life more active, interesting and happier.1.

《unit3 A Taste of English Humour》说课稿U3 A Taste of English HumourA Master of Nonverbal HumourPart 1 Analysis of this lessonThis lesson is the second period of Unit 3. and it’s a reading lesson. The purpose of this reading is to introduce the life and work of Charlie Chaplin and his excellent performance in his silent films. It plays a very important part in teaching of this unit. So if the students can learn this lesson well, it will be helpful to make the students learn the rest of this unit. They can learn more about the humor especially English humor. Such topic is related to our daily life, so it is helpful to raise learning interests of students and it will be easier to get knowledge in their laughter.Teaching aims and demands1. Knowledge objectsMake the students be aware of the cultural aspects of humor by learning this lesson.2. Ability objectsLet the students realize that humor is to let people be optimistic about everything around.3. Moral objects①To enable the students to learn to be faced with difficulties and overcome them.②To encourage them to keep up optimistic attitude towards life and improve their sense of humor.Teaching key points1.

Help the students to learn to get information, analyze the information and understand the information from the text.Teaching difficulties1. How to fire the students’ enthusiasm to express their ideas.2. To make the students know the acting style of Charlie Chaplin and understand the connotation of humor.Part 2 Teaching theories, methods and aidsBefore dealing with this lesson, I’ll do my best to carry out the following theories:1. Make the students the real masters in class while the teacher acts as a director;2. Let the students receive some moral education while they are learning the English language.Teaching method:Double activities teaching method; Question-and–answer activity teaching method; Watch-and-listen activityTeaching aids:computer and the blackboardPart 3 Teaching procedureStep 1 Revision ( 2 minutes )Get the students to match different types of humor that they learned in Warming-up and some names of famous comedy actors. For example, Mr. Bean and mime, Mark Twain and funny stories and so on.This step is employed to review the words related to humor and draw the students’ attention to the topic about nonverbal humor.Step 2 Lead-in ( 3 minutes )Show the students a clip from the film The Gold Rush and ask them two questions:①In this film, what was he eating? (a pair of shoes)②Can you try to give a description on Chaplin?(He wore a small black hat, very wide trousers, a moustache and carried a stick that he swung in the air as he walked.)These questions are intended to warm up the students and think about the theme of reading. And it can also arouse the interests of the students to speak English in class on the topics they like and they are familiar with.Step 3 While-readingI. Fast reading ( 5 minutes )First I will introduce Charlie Chaplin briefly, who was a great silent movie star of his time. And then ask the students to read the passage quickly to find more information about him and answer the questions that will be shown on the screen:①What was Charlie Chaplin famous for?②How many famous film or characters are mentioned in the text? What are the names?In this part the students are required to get some related information from the passage. This method is used to train the student to get the general idea of the passage. And it is also a good chance for them to improve their skimming skills.II. Detailed reading ( 15 minutes )I will ask the students to read the whole passage again carefully and answer some detailed questions. It is also called depth reading or study reading. It means reading for detailed information. The purpose is to make the students understand the reading material better.1. True of false①Chaplin became famous for using a particular form of acting including playing on words.②In The Little Tramp, Chaplin always wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and carried a walking stick.③The Gold Rush is set in California in the middle of the nineteenth century.④Chaplin’s movies were produced, directed and wrote by other people.2. Choose the best answers according to the passage:①What’s the passage mainly about?A. The history of English humorB. The films Chaplin made.C. The humor Chaplin made in his films.D. The Gold Rush in California.②Chaplin made people laugh when they felt depressed because _______.A. they enjoy doing soB. it makes people more worried about their life.C. it makes people more content with their life.D. there’s much fun is doing so.③Why did people like The little Tramp?A. Because it gives people courage to overcome difficulties;B. Because he was always kind even when people were unkind to him.C. Because he was optimism.D.

Write down the main idea of each paragraph:Paragraph 1: The world situationParagraph 2: Charlie’s childhoodParagraph 3: His famous film characterParagraph 4: An example of his workParagraph 5: His achievementsI think a good way to check whether the students have understood the reading is to ask them to summarize the passage in one sentence. This is a valuable skill that students will be asked to attempt in the comprehending section.Step 4 Post reading1. Discussion ( 7 minutes )①What should we learn from Charlie Chaplin?(We should be optimistic(乐观) no matter what difficulties we meet with, just as Charlie Chaplin was.)②What should we do to get success?(Set up an aim; do our best; pay more time then others; never give up / lose heart; insist on what we pursue)Apart from the knowledge they get from this lesson, it is a good opportunity for the students to receive moral education.2. Make a dialogue ( 10 minutes )Imagine one of the students wants to write an article about Charlie Chaplin for the column“HUMOUR” of th e school newspaper. So he is going to interview Charlie Chaplin.The purpose of this step is to create a language environment for students’ communication in class; and give the students a chance to practise their spoken English. If the students can finish this task well, they will benefit a lot in their spoken English. They can use some important words and phrases that they have learned in the passage. This process can be regarded as a quiz. I can know if my students understand the whole text really and if they master what I mean to tell them in this class.Step 5 Summary ( 2 minutes )Today we have learned something about humor. Humor is everywhere in our daily life. I hope in the future you can be optimistic(乐观) no matter what difficulties you meet with, just as Charlie Chaplin was.Step 6 Homework ( 1 minute )Try to rewrite the passage in the first person in 120 words and then present it in the next class.This step is used to practise their ability of writing and looking up information by themselves.。
