Warming up by learning vocabularyGood morning, class! Today, w are going to take Unit 4 Astronomy: the science of the stars. Before we read the text, let’s turn to page 99 and get familiarized with the vocabulary first. Pay attention to the making of the word. Study the prefixes, roots and suffixes in the words.Astronaut Yang LiweiII. Pre-reading1. Looking and sayingHave you ever wondered how the universe began? Well I'm sure you may have many answers to this question, but I have one that perhaps, you may not have heard of yet. I will be giving you my科学家透露：宇宙可能有两个我们的宇宙和一个"隐藏的"宇宙共同"镶嵌"在"五维空间"中。

Unit 4 Astronomy：the science of the stars 课文知识点解析Warming UpDiscuss in pairs which science subjects are part of medicine,biochemistry,geophysics or astronomy.分组讨论哪些科学科目是医学，生物化学，地理学或天文学的一部分。

in pairs=two at a time=in twos一次两个，两个一组e.g.Shoes and slippers are sold in pairs.鞋子都是论双卖的。

注意：in+数词/名词（数词/名词以复数形式）e.g.in threes and fours 三三两两的in groups 成群的思维拓展in在这里表示：以……数量/形式、形状等。

e.g.Tourists queue in thousands to see the tomb. 游客数以千计排着队看陵墓。

Reading1.The problem was that the earth became violent because it was not clearwhether the solid shape was to last or not.这一问题变得越来越不确定，因为这一球体形状是否能够维持尚未明朗。

(1)violent adj. 猛烈的；激烈的；强暴的a violent language 激烈的语言a violent storm 猛烈的风暴a violent 猛攻思维拓展violence n.［U］1.暴力，强暴2.猛烈，剧烈，强烈(2)whether...or not... “是……还是……”在这里是主语从句,它还可以引导宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句和状语从句。

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars教案（人教版必修3）Period 5Using language: Extensive reading整体设计教材分析This is the fifth teaching period of this unit. As usual, the teacher should check students’ homework and offer chances for them to go over what they learned in the last period at the beginning of the class. Then lead in the new lesson.In this period, the teaching emphasis will be put on developing students’ reading ability by reading extensively. We will deal with two parts: A VISIT TO THE MOON in Using language on Pages 30-31 and CAUGHT BY A BLACK HOLE in Reading Task on Page 66. While reading, get students learning to use some reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and so on. As to new words and phrases, the teacher can first find those students feel most difficult and help them to understand. That’s enough here. The reading passage A VISIT TO THE MOON is a science fiction story which imagines what it might be like if an astronaut visited the moon. The purpose of science fiction writing is to combine facts with a story to make students interested and excited about travel in space. It is also to stimulate awe and wonder into the vastness of space. As this reading uses the information students have gained from the listening, the teacher can first ask some students to retell the listening text to lead in the topic and then ask students to read the passage and do some comprehending exercises. While checking their answers with the whole class, deal with language problems students can’t work out by t hemselves. This is an extensive reading lesson, so the teaching steps should be simple. As to the passage CAUGHT BY A BLACK HOLE, it is to continue the above story. The astronomers in the story visit a place in space, which seems impossible for people to reach, the “black hole”. It is to help students imagine what it is like near a “black hole”. Ask students to read through the passage and try to know more about astronomy and gravity.At the end of the class, ask students to retell the two passages. In order to arouse students’ interest, the teacher can hold a competition among them.教学重点1. Develop students’ reading skills by extensive reading.2. Let students read and understand the two passages.教学难点1. Enable students to learn to use reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and so on.2.

Ask some pairs of students to come to the front and act out their dialogue to review the expressions of giving instructions.3. Have some students talk about Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking as well as their ideas on gravity.→Step 2 Warming upLet students to brainstorm the following questions:What country first sent people into space?How many countries have succeeded in sending people into space so far?Who first landed on the moon?Who is the first Chinese astronaut to go into space?Do you want to visit the moon?→Step 3 Reading1. Ask students to read the passage and then describe the three ways in which gravity changed for Li Yanping and how his weight changed.1) Write down the three ways in which gravity changed for Li Yanping.The way gravity changedLeft the earthIn spaceOn the moonSuggested answers:The way gravity changedLeft the earth The gravity became very strong.In space The gravity disappeared.On the moon The gravity became very light.2) His weight changed three times, too. Now write them down.How his weight changedLeft the earthIn spaceOn the moonSuggested answers:How his weight changedLeft the earth He became very heavy.In space He had no weight and could float around like a feather.On the moon He was about one-sixth of his weight on the earth.2. Ask students to read the passage aloud to the tape and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Let students read them aloud and copy them down in their exercise book after class as homework. Try to keep them in mind.Collocations: be lucky enough to do, have a chance, make a trip into space, explain sth. to sb. , the force of gravity, be off, the pull of the earth’s gravity, fall back to the earth, fall to theground, too far from the earth, as if, at all, get close to, cheer up, come on, less than, down the steps, step forward, twice as far as, fall over, a bit of, now that, after a while, get the hang of, break out, on the outside of, be pushed into→Step 4 Important language points1.
