Module6 Old and NewPeriod3 grammar non-defining attributive clausesPart1. The analysis of the teaching material:In the passage The Three Gorges Dam, the writer use the infinitives to express his ideas, so I think this module aims to help the students grasp how to use non-defining attributive clauses. As we know, non-defining attributive clause is one of the most important grammars, and it is also one of the most difficult grammars. To help the students grasp this grammar, I should make the students interested in the class first.Part2. Analysis of the students:The students have learnt defining attributive clauses in module 5 on page 47, and they often meet attributive clauses in reading materials, so the grammar is not strange to them.Most of our students lack confidence and are shy to express their ideas in English, so some interesting and easy work to try to involve all the students to take part in the class activities are necessary.Part3. Teaching aims:Knowledge aims:1. Learn about the non-defining attributive clauses.2. Master the differences between non-defining attributive clauses and definingattributive clausesAbility aims:1.Improve students’ ability through group discussion2.Improve students’ analyzing and resolving abilities throu gh group cooperation. Emotional aims:1. To arise the students’ interest in learning English.2. To encourage students to be active in class.Part4. Teaching key points1. Work together to sum up the grammatical rules of non-defining attributive clauses.2. Master the differences between non-defining attributive clauses and definingattributive clauses.Teaching difficult pointsDifferent forms of non-defining attributive clauses, and how to use them.Teaching Aids:1. Projector2. Tape recorder3. Multimedia4. The blackboardPart5. Teaching theoriesWhen I dealing with the lesson, I’ll do my best to carry out the methods, such as: situational teaching and communicative teaching; task-based teaching; inquiry teaching;making the students the real masters while the teacher acts as a director and helper. I’ll try to encourage the students to learn by discussion, cooperation and free talk.In addition, I’ll make the best of multimedia to make the class more lovely, interesting and high-effective.Part6. Teaching Procedures 45’Step1 Lead in 12’1. Lead in the lesson of the unit by showing some sentences which they learnt on page47 about defining attributive clauses on screen. Ask students read the sentences and answerwhat clauses they are.(1) Su Song was an eleventh-century monk who(m) very little is known about.(2) For example, it is the country which silk was first invented in.2 review the relative pronouns and relative adverbs which usually used in attributiveclauses.(1) Relative pronounsas，which，who，whom，whose, that(2) Relative adverbswhen, where, why(Purpose: review defining attributive clauses which students learnt on module 5.)3. Ask students read above sentences and do exercise1’s sentences on page 54, thencheck the answer and find out the common and the difference of these sentences.(Purpose: lead in the topic: non-defining attributive clauses.)Step2 Non-defining attributive clauses 20’1.Encourage the students to sum up the differences between non-defining attributiveclauses and defining attributive clauses by themselvesIn a defining attributive clause(1) The information given is essential to understand the sentence, and make it clearwhich person or thing you are talking about in a sentence.(2) You don’t need a commaIn a non-defining attributive clauses(1) The information is not essential to understand the sentence, but it provides additionalinformation.(2) Punctuation is important, common are used to separate the clause from the rest of thesentence.(3) ‘That’ canno t be used in a non-defining attributive clause.2. The definition of non-defining attributive clause.When a attributive clause merely describes an object without having the function of defining or identifying to which object the speaker or writer is referring, the clause must be placed between commas. Such a clause can be called a non-defining or non-limiting relative clause, i.e., a non-defining relative clause gives extra information about a noun or noun phrase and has commas at both ends.(Purpose: this part is designed to make the students understand the definition of non-defining attributive clauses and the difference between non-defining attributive clausesand defining attributive clauses, at the same time lead to the next part.)Step3 Practice 8’Get the students to finish excercise2 and 3 on page 54, and then check the answer. I’ll divide the students into 2 groups, and then ask them to finish the tasks by competition and cooperation. If anyone answers the question correctly, his or her group will get 1 point, and the group which gets the most points is the winner.(Purpose: To consolidate the usage of non-defining attributive clauses, at the same time increase the students ‘interest in their studies)Step4 Summary 4’First, ask the students to d iscuss “What have you learnt this class?”Then give the summary: This class we learn the grammatical items of non-defining attributive clauses. We know the differences between non-defining attributive clauses and defining attributive clauses are common and the information given is essential or not essential to understand the sentence.Step 5Homework 1’Revise the use of non-defining attributive clauses.Part 7 Blackboard designNon-defining attributive clauses(1) Relative pronouns : as，which，who，whom，whose, that(2) Relative adverbs: when, where, whyNon-defining attributive clauses(1) The information is not essential to understand the sentence, but it provides additional information.(2) Punctuation is important, common are used to separate the clause from the rest of the sentence.(3) ‘That’ cannot be used in a non-defining attributive clause.(Purpose: the blackboard design can reflect the teacher’s ability of mastering the text and leading the students to master the text easily. It also tells the students that this is the important points in this class.)Above is my teaching plan of this lesson. Thank you for listening.。

Module 6Old and New【美文阅读】The Yangtze River is home to one of the most beautiful natural scenes of China－the Three Gorges.But for generations，Chinese people have long dreamed of taming(制服，使顺从) the Yangtze River for power generation and flood control.The river's endless floods have brought destruction and death for centuries－1 million deaths in the 20th century alone.Nowadays，along the Yangtze River，the third longest river in the world，a great construction project，the Three Gorges Dam is in progress.Once pleted in 2016，it will be the largest and most powerful hydro-electric project in the world.Towering 610 feet high and stretching 1.3 miles wide，the dam will create a reservoir that extends nearly 400 miles upstream thus changing the original landscape of this region.The project has been under discussion in China since the idea of the dam was first put forward in 1919.The Three Gorges Dam is both a marvel of engineering and the greatest challenge its designers have ever faced.The Three Gorges Dam has been engineered to store over 5 trillion gallons(加仑)of water and to withstand(经得起) an earthquake of 7.0 on the Richter scale(里氏级)．In addition, the government says the dam will control terrifying floods and provide electrical power to China's growing cities.Like China's Great Wall，it will be one of the few man-made structures that can be seen from space.The Chinese government and the dam's engineers think of the project as a symbol of national pride.【诱思导学】What do you think of the Three Gorges Dam project?【答案】Students' own answer.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，对下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。
