高一人教修订版上 Unit 9 Technology教案

Unit 9 Technology Ｉ. 单元教学目标Ⅱ. 目标语言Target languageIII. 教材分析与教材重组1. 教材分析本单元的主题是Technology，中心话题为Hi-tech,话题本身具有强烈的时代气息，贴近学生的实际生活，符合学生的认知水平，在学生中有较强的认同感。

1.1 WARMING UP 提供了三种智力小测试，借此诱发学生的想象力、判断力、创造力和逆向思维能力，为下文作好铺垫。

1.2 LISTENING的第一部分是听三段描述日常用品的语言材料，旨在培养学生捕获相关物品特征、用途等关键词的能力；第二部分是第一部分的延伸，进一步引导学生掌握描述物品特征的词汇和技巧，达到创造性运用语言的目的。

1.3 SPEAKING 部分根据材料要求，把全班分成四个小组，每一组从不同角度出发讨论购买手机和不买手机的理由。

既引导学生合作学习，又培养学生全面地、辩证地看待问题的哲学观和消费观。

1.4 PRE-READING是READING的热身活动。

要求学生采用讨论交流的方式谈论现代科技对人们日常生活的影响，激发他们对阅读主题文章的欲望。

1.5 READING一文采用前后呼应的写作手法，介绍手机的用途、所产生的问题并剖析年轻人宠爱手机的原因。

文章选材新颖，贴近现实生活，主题鲜明，容易引起学生的阅读兴趣和共鸣。

1.6 POST-READING从回答问题、概括段落大意和创造性设计三个层面逐步推进，激励学生结合现实生活，开动脑筋，充分发挥想象力和创造力设计自己的产品，从而达到运用英语进行交际的能力。

1.7 LANGUAGE STUDY 的“词汇学习”目的在于培养学生根据语境掌握并运用所学词汇的能力。

“同步语法”则设计了不同类型的句型转换题，旨在训练学生准确理解和灵活运用现在进行时的被动语态的能力。

1.8 INTEGRATING SKILLS中的阅读部分是一篇科幻文章，大胆想象未来世界受电脑统治的情景，引导学生思考未来科技对人类生产、生活的影响。

相对起来，写作任务更加富有挑战性，不但需要学生大胆想象，还需要短文具有较强的说服力和思辩性，最后点明“爱”和“友谊”这一文章主题。

1.9 TIPS 部分给出指导学生进行有效阅读的技巧——根据上下文猜测词义。

1.10 CHECKPOINT“复习要点”部分简要地总结本单元语法重点，并引导学生学会总结知识要点。

2. 教材重组2.1 从话题内容上分析，WARMING UP 与SPEAK-ING相一致；而从训练目的上分析与TALKING比较一致。

从教材份量来说，可将WARMING UP，SPEAKING和Workbook中的TALKING整合在一起，设计成一节任务型“口语课”。

2.2 将LISTENING 和Workbook中的LISTENING整合在一起，设计成一节“听力课”。

2.3 可将PRE-READING, READING和POST-READING三个教学活动整合在一起上一节“阅读课（一）”。

2.4 可将LANGUAGE STUDY 与Workbook中的PRACTISING语法练习题整合在一起上一节“语法课”。

2.5 可将INTEGRATING SKILLS 中Reading和Workbook中INTEGRATING SKILLS的Reading整合起来上一节“阅读课（二）（泛读课）”。

2.6 将INTEGRATING SKILLS 中的Writing和Workbook中INTEGRATING SKILLS 的Writing整合成一节“写作课”。

3. 课型设计与课时分配（经教材分析，根据学情，本单元可以用六课时教完）1st period 口语课2nd period 听力课3rd period 阅读课4th period 语法课5th period 泛读课6th period 写作课Ⅳ. 分课时教案The First Period SpeakingTeaching goals 教学目标1.

Some toothpicks, a sock and a plastic bagTeaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式Step I GreetingsT: Good morning/afternoon, boys and girls! We all know that science and technology are very important in our daily life. Can you give some examples?S1: I think the computer is a very good example. It is widely used in many fields. If we want to read the latest news or look up information, we can go to the Internet.S2: In our classroom we also use a multi-media computer, a projector and a colour TV set. Some students even have cellphones.T: Well done. Let’s come to WARMING-UP.Step II Warming up1. Useful thingsThis step is designed to introduce the topic and arouse the students’ interest in creative ideas.T: I find all of you are very clever and hardworking. But are you really creative? Here are some tests. Here I have three useful things (The teacher shows toothpicks, a pair of socks and a plastic bag). Do you know their common use in our daily life?S3: Toothpicks are often used to get bits of food out of the space between teeth.S4: Socks are usually worn to keep us warm.S5: Plastic bags are often used to put things in.T: Quite right. Now you are divided into three (or more) groups. Each group talks about one subject. (After a few minutes) Now time is up. V olunteers.S6: Toothpicks have many new uses. For example, we can use toothpicks to pick small things, pin some food, get little bits of food between the teeth, make fine designs...S7: A sock can also be used in many ways, like polishing shoes, decorating a doll, filling something in...S8: Maybe a plastic bag can be used most. It can be used to protect the seatbelt from rain, touch some dirty things, carry vegetables...2. Talk boxTask 1 Making new wordsThis task aims at finding out how creative the students are in observing and understanding.T: Now let’s come to a talk box. Here you can move any side as many steps as you wish so that you can create many different words.Steps: 1. Divide the students into several groups (4-8);2. Individual work. (Each student tries to think of more possible answers.)3. Group work. (Get one student to summarize their answers.)4. Class competition. (If one group gives the largest number of answers, it will win.)Possible answers:S9: scar, door, rate, date, item, stop ...S10: soar, side, star, coat, poem, code ...S11: road, mood, mead ...S12: rats, eats ...3. True or falseT: Well done! Now here are three sentences. Please read carefully and decide if they are true or false. Then give your reasons. (After a few minutes) Now who’d lik e to have a try?S13: The first sentence is true. We can easily find four letters “b-o-a-t”, which is the word “boat”.S14: The second sentence is false. 12 minutes past 5 o’clock is 48 minutes before 6 o’clock.S15: The third sentence is true. (The teacher gives him or her a left-handed glove to have a try.)Step III SpeakingT: In our everyday life we may meet with some trouble. What shall we do? Yes, we can turn to our parents or best friends for help. Now Jane wants to buy a cellphone. Before she buys one, she asks her parents and her best friend what they think.Task 2 Role-play the discussionThis part is to provide the students realistic situations so that they can have more chances to practise the functional items.Steps: 1. Divide the student s into four groups. (“Jane” will be the leader.)2. Individual work. (Each tries to think of more answers to support his/her opinion.)3. Group work. (Each member states his or her opinion and reasons.)4. Class work. (Jane chairs the discussion.)One possible discussion:Jane: Dad, Mum and Lily, I’m glad to take this chance to have a discussion. You know, I am always eager to have my own phone, but I still haven’t got it. Here I’d like to share you with my opinions. At the sametime, I’d like YOUR advice.Lily: Good idea. Why not give your reasons first?Jane: Thank you. In my opinion, with a cellphone, I can call my friends for help when in trouble. I can also let you know where I’m. What’s more, I can send short messages to my faraway friends instead of writing letters. In this way I can save some time and money as well.Mr Evens: I agree with you, Jane. Besides keeping in touch with us, you can also learn about the latest news both at home and abroad. Sometimes you can even call your teacher or classmates for help while doing homework.Lily: Well, Mr Evens, that may be true, but I don’t quite agree with you. You know, we are still middle school students, not adults. On one hand, we are not allowed to use cellphones in school. On the other hand, buying and using a cellphone will cost a lot of money. Worse still, cellphones are changing so quickly that they can be easily out of fashion.Mrs Evens: You’re right, Lily. I don’t think cellphones will do any good to your studies. Besides, you may receive some waste short messages.Jane: Thank you for telling me what you are thinking. It’s likely that I will think about your opinions and then make the final decision. Thank you, bye.Possible reasons for discussion:Step IV Talking (See P134)This part should be a free talk concerning the two sides of modern technology:advantages and disadvantages. The teacher may give the students some help if necessary.T: Now let’s come to Talking on Page 134. As we know,modern technology is playing a more and more important part in our life. It helps us do many things we want to do, but technology also causes problems. Then what are the advantages and disadvantages of modern technology? You are given several minutes to write down your answers. Then tell your partners your opinions and give your reasons. (After a few minutes)S16: I think cellphones have many advantages. We can keep in touch with our family or friends wherever we are. Sometimes we can send message, music or images to our friends. We can even surf the Internet for latest news or information. Besides, if you have the latest model, it can make you look nice in front of your friends. Your mobile phone is like a status symbol—it says you are cool or not.S17: I’m afraid I don’t agree. First, buying a cellphone will cost a lot of money. Second, it will take you much time and money to make phone calls. Third, if you use too much, it will surely disturb your wo rk or study. Finally, it’s reported that if you use mobile phones for a long time you are at risk of developing cancer. : Excellent. Now your opinions about robots?S18: In my opinion, robots have quite a few advantages. They are machines controlled by computers. They can work for a long time without sleep or rest. More important, they can do some work repeatedly and efficiently. They can often be seen in dirty or dangerous areas. In a word, robots are very useful both in daily life and in industries.S19: Well, that may be what you were thinking. In fact, robots are advanced products and they are very expensive to buy and repair. They can’t think or make decisions. If robots are widely used in factories, then many workers will be out of work. I don’t think it a good thing.T: Well done. Maybe you also want to express yourself concerning computers.S20: Quite right, sir. I’d like to say computers can help us most in our daily life and they have far more advantages. With a computer we can work out complicatedproblems, store information, manage a company and surf the Internet. Without computers we can hardly imagine what our life would be like. In fact computers are being widely used in education, industry, agriculture, space, medicine and so on. They can be seen almost everywhere.S21: As we all know, buying a computer will cost a lot of money. At the same time, it’s not very easy to learn how to operate a computer, especially for some aged people. At present we can often hear about computer viruses, which will make the computers fail to work normally.T: I’m glad to you have performed so well. Just as the saying goes, every coin has two sides. What we can do is make the best use of the great inventions mentioned above, isn’t it?Step ⅤLanguage pointsStep VI Homework1. ConsolidationT: Today we have learned so much about how to express our opinions. I do hope you can practise more after class.2.

Are you ready?Ss: Yes, sir/madam.One possible version:Monitor: Dear sir, boys and girls. Today’s topic for discussion is Middle school students should go online in their spare time or not. Please be free to express your opinions.Li Ping: I think we can. You see, through the Internet, we can gain plenty of knowledge and latest news both in and out of China. It makes our life outside class rich and colorful.Wu Xia: But some students are playing computer games instead of studying their lessons. As a result, their study is getting worse and worse. I think going online is part of our daily life, but there should be a time limit.Liu Yang: Well, I have different ideas. Most of the time, we can attend the net school, read many books and even teach ourselves English online.Xue Bing: We can also enjoy music and watch matches on the Internet.Monitor: But we should not indulge in the Internet, or we’ll get our life and study destroyed. Besides, we should keep off the harmful websites. Anyhow, this doesn’t prevent the Internet becoming our friend. We can’t throw away the apple because ofthe core, can we?Step II Listening1. Lead-inT: (Show a TV controller to the Ss). What do we call it in English?S1: We call it a TV controller.T: What colour is it?S2: It’s black with some colourful keys.T: What size is it?S3: It’s about 18 cm × 5 cm.T: How do people use it?S4: We can use it to choose the favourite TV programmes without touching the TV set. It’s very convenient.T: Well done.2. Listen and guessT: Well, I’ll play the tape for the first time. Please listen carefully and try to guess what object is being described.(After playing the tape) Now who can tell me your answers? V olunteer!S5: I think the first object is chopsticks.T: Well done. Now listen to the second object.S6: I think the second one is the cellphone.T: Excellent.

Now you can check your answers with your partners.S8: Chopsticks: Eating, cooking, writing, opening a bottle...S9: Cellphone: Making phone calls, sending pictures, sending e-mails, surfing the Internet, waking up, playing games...S10: Refrigerator: Keeping food or drinks fresh, making ice-cream...3. Consolidation for describing objectsTask Riddle-guessing competitionThis task is to enable the students to describe objects correctly and pass on the information in English so that they can think for themselves and make correct decisions.Steps: 1. Divide the students into several groups (4-8);2. Individual work. (Each student tries to prepare at least two riddles.)3. Group work. (Choose ten best ones and select a representative.)4. Class competition. (If one group can work out the most riddles, it will win.)Possible examples:S11: It is a small piece of paper with different designs. It can often be bought in a post office. You always put it on the corner of a letter.S12: A stamp.S13: It is made up of many pages with two hard covers. You can store you wonderful pictures inside it. You can even write some more information below the pictures.S14: An album.S15: It’s a kind of car carrying a lot of water. When they learn a house catches fire, the car will rush there to put out the fire.S16: Fire engine.Step III Listening (See P133)1. Introduce the topicT: Today we’ll listen to a passage about the ISS? What does ISS stand for? It means the International Space Station.2. First listening for general idea.T: Listen to the tape first to get the general idea. Then answer this question.S17: (After listening). It’s an internati onal project to build the International Space Stations, small city in space.3. Second listening for specific information. (If necessary, listen for the third time.) T: Then listen again to answer the questions on Page 133.(The teacher plays the tape t wice.) Now let’s check the answers. Who’d like to have a try? V olunteer!S18: 16 countries are building the station.S19: The ISS will be about the size of two soccer fields.S20: More than 100 parts are needed.S21: Some parts are laboratories, some are for power sources and others are for people to live in.S22: First the different parts will be put together in space.Then, the people who work at the space station will take space walks to connect the parts to the station.S23: 46 flights will be needed to connect the parts.S24: The project will be finished in a few years.4. Decide the usefulness of the following projectsThis part is designed to stir the students’interest in latest development in high-tech. Of course their answers may vary from person to person.One possible answer:S25: I think sending a man to the moon is the most useful project. After all, it’s the earth’s only satellite. It has close and direct effect on the earth. And in my opinion, trying to get in touch with life forms on other planets is the least useful one. Man has not fully realized what great damage they are doing to the earth. At present the most important is to take steps to protect the earth from being further polluted or damaged. And the second is to build the International Space Station. In this way scientists and astronauts can carry out a series of scientific experiments so that they be well prepared for gaining experience in exploring other planets. Sending a man to Mars is also important, but there is still a long way to ensure the man’s safety. Sending out a man-made satellite to take pictures of other planets may be a good idea but it is not very practical.T: Thank you very much for your wonderful choices.Step IV Homework1. ConsolidationT: Boys and girls, today we have listened to several listening materials. I hope you can listen to the materials again after class so that you will be very familiar with them.2.

F7. F3. Outline of the textThis step is meant to get the students to understand the structures of the whole text better by summarizing the main idea or finding out the topic sentence of each paragraph.T: Since you have read the text twice, you must have a better understanding of the text.Next, I’d like you to summarize the main idea of each paragraph. Usually the topic sentence falls on the first sentence. But some- times it is in the middle or at the end of the text. Some-times you can’t find the topic sentence in the paragraph.

Students may have other reasons.S10: I don’t agree with Wang Mei. I think the computer is the most important invention. Without computers we can hardly imagine what our future life would be like.2. Get the students to retell the whole textT: Today we have learned the text and know how technology has changed our life. Next please try to retell the text using the outline of the text.S11: Cellphones are being used more and more widely today.They are used not just for phone calls. They can also be used to send messages, images, music etc. They are even used to surf the Internet for e-mails or weather re-ports. The latest cellphones have more and more attractive features.Every coin has two sides. Using cellphones at school may disturb the lessons. Besides, students may waste some time and money on cellphones. In spite of this, cellphones are quite popular among teenagers. First, they can stay in touch with theirfriends. Second, they will feel safer carrying a cellphone wherever they go. Also, to many teenagers, the cellphone is not only a useful tool but also a way to have fun and be cool.T: Well done. Thank you.3. Character trainingThis step is to enable the students to draw lessons from the text and thus help to build up their strong character about consciousness in science and technology development.S12: As a student, we should try to study our lessons well. Besides, we should show great concern for latest development in high-tech.S13: Even the best invention may have its bad aspects. So we should look at these things with all-sided views.S14: ...Step V Homework1. Cellphone design competitionT: Now you are asked to design your own cellphones after class.
