2019新人教高中英语必修二Unit 4 History and TraditionsListening and Speaking公开课教案Teaching aims:1.Enable students to get familiar with the vocabulary of“Confucius,Temple ofConfucius,Confucius’ descendants,Confucius’ educational thoughts”.2.Guide students to understand some English idioms and their related culturalallusions.3.Help students to talk about Confucius’ ideas on education and introduce thehistory and importance of a historic site.Teaching key and difficult points:1.To help students to get familiar with the vocabulary of“Confucius,Temple ofConfucius,Confucius’ descendants,Confucius’ educational thoughts”.2.To enable students to understand English idioms and the related cultural allusions.3.To lead students to talk about Confucius’ educational thoughts.Teaching procedures:StepⅠLead-inLook at the Opening Page and have a discussion.1.How do you understand the quote“A people without the knowledge of their pasthistory, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”by Marcus Garvey?2.Why is it important to protect historic buildings and cultural traditions? Suggested answers:1.In this quote, Garvey is emphasizing the importance of knowledge about thehistory of your country and people.He uses“people”in the countable form to refer to all the persons who live in a particular place or belong to a particular country,race,or other groups. In Garvey’s case, race is especially important.A tree is a good metaphor for a group of people.For example, we talk about“family trees”,which detail our relatives across time.A tree without roots would easily fall down and die.The roots also feed the tree.The roots of a tree cannot usually be seen, but they often spread deep and wide. In this way, apeople’s history also has deep roots that spread far and wide.If people do not know about their history, they will not learn from the past and will not be able to develop and progress well into the future.2. It is important to protect historic buildings and cultural traditions because theyare a record of our shared history and tell us a lot about who we are as a country and people.StepⅠListeningActivity 1 Warming upLook at some photos of Qufu.What can you say about these places?Temple of ConfuciusKong FamilyMansion Cemetery of Confucius Suggested answers:Activity 1 1.Temple of Confucius:The most famous and largest temple honoring the greatsage.It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.It covers 16,000 square meters and has 460 rooms.The main part consists of nine courtyards with several gates.Dacheng Hall stands at the centre and is the principal place for offering sacrifices to Confucius.2.Kong Family Mansion:Located to the east of the Temple of Confucius,this was thehistorical home of the descendants of Confucius from where they managed sites and ceremonies in Qufu.Today it is a museum.3.Cemetery of Confucius:This is where Confucius and his descendants areburied.There are more than 10,000 of them,buried here over 2,000 years.The cemetery has had many renovations and extensions in its history.Activity 2 PredictionPredict what the listening text is about by looking at Activity 2 on page 38.
