高中英语必修一Unit4 Earthquakes教学设计第一课时Warming up第一步：看多媒体图像和图片了解有关地震海啸等自然灾害,让学生结合看的内容说出描写自然灾害词汇和词组：shake, rise, burst, canal, steam, ruin, injure, destroy, shock, quake, rescue, disaster, survivor……第二步：根据所看的内容介绍结合自己对地震的了解，组织两人活动，让学生讨论书中的问题，充分发挥想象力，描述地震后两个城市可能会出现的情况。

Pre-reading第一步：让同学们想象如果家里发生地震了,应该做些什么第二步：分五组分别讨论以下话题:What are the predictions of an earthquakeHow to rescue others in a proper way.Do you know the cause of earthquakeHow to reduce the damage of an earthquake这些问题的设置目的不在于让学生来准确回答，而是在于给学生一个发散思维的空间，让学生置身于这一单元的主题当中，才更能激发学习兴趣和动机。

第三步：看图描述地震前会出现哪些征兆。

(建议教师放映一些有关话题的影像材料，增加学生的感性认识，同时印发一些有关地震的文字资料,在此基础上组织学生进行讨论,他们才会更有话说)第四步：两人讨论更多关于地震的话题：(1) Have you experienced an earthquake(2) How much do you know about it(3) Besides earthquake what other natural disasters do you know（flood，typhoon，hurricane，cyclone，volcano，sandstorm，landslide）(4) Do you know how to measure the strength of earthquake （Richter Scale）Workbook P62（这部分听力材料的内容刚好是针对以上话题的，关于地震产生的原因和影响）第一步：先让学生猜测练习一中的陈述哪些是正确的，哪些是错误的。
