He said to the doctor: “Doctor, I see double.” The doctor said: “Sit on the chair please.” And then the patient asked the doctor: “Which one?”T: That’s really interesting! Thank you! In fact this is a kind of English humour, which we call verbal joke. Ok, here are some pictures. Look, who are they?（1）（2）（3）（4）S3: It’s Charlie Chaplin. And I know picture one is from a film called The Gold Rush.T: Right. Who know the man in picture 3?S4: I dare say that everyone know him. He’s Mr. Bean, one of the most famous and successful British actor.T: You are right. He’s now recognized as the most popular British comedy expert. And how about the last one?S5: It’s difficult to say. I guess he’s an American because the picture behind him looks like an American flag.T: Right. He is Mark Twain, the famous American writer. Do you know something about him?S6: He liked to make jokes with other people.T: Have you once read some?S6: Only a few.T: Can you bring us some next time?S6: Let me try.T: OK, now, let’s look at the chart on Page 17.

But I don’t know Edward Lear.T: Right. Edward Lear is a famous British poet. His poems are funny. But they were all from daily life. Until now people also read them and enjoy them. Here is one of his short poems. Please look at the screen:T: In these two poems we can see that Edward Lear used a kind of magnification to make his poem funny. But because the sense of humour of English and Chinese is different, sometimes what they feel funny would not sound funny to us. But if you want to make fun of one of your friends, you can send them to him/her. They will be surprise to see these. Well, do you know these persons in the pictures? What are they good at? Nonverbal, mime and farce, funny stories or funny poems?（1）（2）（3）（4）S8: Picture 1 is Chen Peisi. I think he is famous for his mime and farce.S9: Picture 2 is Zhao Benshan.

OK, now can you finish the last column of the chart?The Suggested answers:Step ⅢReading on P22The purpose of this reading is to introduce the kind of humour we can laugh at -verbaljokes. They use a “play on words” to be funny. Let the students read th e three jokes and then match the joke with the explanation.T: Well, boys and girls, just now we learned something about English and Chinese jokes. Now let’s read some English jokes on Page 22. I’ll give three minutes for you to read them and then match the joke with the explanation. If you like, you may have a discussion. And then we’ll check the answer. OK, read them.The students read and finish their task, and the teacher can show some other jokes on the screen. After they have finished the task, check the answer and ask them to enjoy the jokes on the screen.T: Have you finished the reading? Are the jokes funny?Ss: Yes, they are very funny. We’ve never found that English jokes so funny.T: What’s the answer?S11: The answer is 1 to B, 2 to C and 3 to A.T: Good. Now, please look at the screen. Here are more jokes on it. Read them and enjoy them. If you have some troubles in understanding, discuss, or ask me.Give the students some time to read the jokes.T: Funny?Ss: We’re laughing to death!T: Don’t do that, another joke is waiting for you. Please read the neat joke on Page 22. And then finish the question followed.Give the students three minutes to do it.T: Now decide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reason.S12: I find the first kind jokes are easier to understand.S13: Those jokes on the screen are the funnies ones, I think.S14: We must understand the background of the funny story at first, and then we can know what a humor Sherlock Holmes was. I think to understand this kind of jokes needs wisdom to understand. We must know that he was a detective, so he was always thinking of the things such as stealing.T: What you said is reasonable. Now let’s liste n to the tape, pay attention to the intonation, and try to bring out the humorous meaning.If time permits, the teacher can ask some students to act out the jokes.Step IV SpeakingT: Now, we’ve learned some jokes and listened to some too.

Everybody laughed to bend their backs, me too.T: Me too! OK, this class is full of joy. We know that in our life, there are full of happiness, sorrows, boredoms, and joys. When we meet with sorrows orboredoms, don’t forget to read these jokes. Maybe they can bring you sunshine.Am I right?Ss: Yes.

Classmates in Group one, have you prepared a joke for us?Ss: Yes.T: Who would like to tell us?S: I’d like to. My joke is very short. In order to let all of us understand the joke, I’d like to act it out. But there is a new word in the story. It is “leash”. It means a rope used to tie a dog. The title of the joke is A blind man in a store. Look, this is my dog.Ok, now I’ll act out the joke.A blind man in a storeA blind man walks into a store with his Seeing Eye dog. All of a sudden, he picks up the leash and begins swinging the dog over his head. The manager runs up to the man and asks, “What are you doing?!!” The blind man replies, “Just looking around.”S: That’s all for the joke. Thank you.T: Woo! It’s so wonderful. Thank you for bringing us so wonderful joke and your performance. Let’s clap our hands for him. Ok, let’s continue to check y our home- work. Last time we learned something about humour. Some jokes made us laugh. Well, what is humour?S1: Humour, like jokes, can make people laugh.S2: I think, humour includes nonverbal, mime and farce, verbal jokes, funny stories and funny poems.S3: Humour is a sense. Some people have it. It’s natural.S4: Humour is quality of being amusing; it’s an ability to appreciate the comic or amusing. I think my answer is the most correct answer, because I looked up the dictionary.T: All right, I think these explanations give us a full understanding about humour. I think, humour can also reflect a person’s wit or intelligence. For example, what do you think of a banker?S1: A banker is a millionaire.S2: A banker is a big potato. He owns large houses, cars, and he can enjoy plenty of good things in the world.T: Yes. All of you are right. But Mark Twain once said: “A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining; but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.” That is why Mark Twain is Mark Twain. OK, now let’s look at the two questions in Pre-reading.StepⅡPre-readingT: What do you like to laugh at?S1: Some funny things, such as funny looks, funny acts, funny words and so on.T: Good. Is humour always kind?S2: I guess mostly humour is kind. But it depends on who is joking and who is listening.T: Right. Different people have different understanding about the same jokes. One day, if one of your friends says to you: “Dog, I’ll pick your head and beat it like a basketball.” You are shouting at him/her “Stop! You pig.” What an interesting thing it is! Do you like this?S3: I don’t think this is funny. It’s crazy! If he really says this to me, he will lose me. T: But some people like this. It is difficult to see who is right and who is wrong. Some people think it is funny; while other people will think it will make them throw up. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This sentence means what one person considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. So we can see that humour is not always kind.Step ⅢReadingThe purpose of this reading is to introduce nonverbal humour. This reading material takes Charlie Chaplin for example. It tells us what nonverbal humour means; what’s Charlie Chaplin’s style of acting; how he made a sad situation entertaining and so on. What do you know about Charlie Chaplin?This step can have three tasks. Task 1, find the main idea of each paragraph. Work in groups to decide how many passages the material can be divided. Task 2, discuss the following questions：1. Do you think his poor childhood helped him in his work? Why?2. Why did people like The Little Tramp?3. Do you think Chaplin’s eating boiled shoes funny? Why?Step IV Summary of the passage:In Britain and America people were feeling miserable because of the bad economic situation. Charlie understood their problems. His character “the little tramp” was poor and homeless, but everybody loved him for his kind heart and the way he dealt with his difficult situation. Charlie Chaplin made people laugh at some of these terrible situations like being without food or money. He wrote and directed his own films andreceived an Oscar for his outstanding work.Step V HomeworkPreview grammar by finishing Exercises on Page 21.The Third Period GrammarTeaching goals 教学目标1.
