You can simply guess. Yes, Lucy, try …III. Reading1. Reading aloud to the recording and finding the general ideaNow please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text AN INTERVIEW. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation as well as the pauses within each sentence. Then try to get the general idea of the passage. Have you got the main idea?Yes, it tells us the differences and the similarities between the ancient and modern Olympics.2. Reading and actingNow let’s play the parts of the Greek writer Pausanias and the Chinese girl Li Li. Now boys, youare Pausanias; girls, you are Li Li. Please pay attention to the bold words.3. Reading and findingNow read the text again. The boys shall try to finish the task: What was the ancient Olympics like? The girls shall try to finish the task: What is the modern Olympics like?4. Reading and collecting informationOk, now let’s read it silently. First let’s talk about the same points between the ancient and modern Olympics. Who can answer? Any volunteers?Then let’s come to the differences.5. Reading and underliningNext you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.ⅣClosing downClosing down by doing exerciseTo end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises 1 & 2.Closing down by discussingYou know our government has tried its best to compete for hosting the 29th Olympic Games. It has cost a lot of money. Do you think it is worthwhile? Why?Closing by imaginingImagine what we will do and what we can do for the 29th Olympic Games now.Closing down by narratingWe can see the text is written in a conversational style. And there are two speakers. One is Pausanias, a Greek writer 2000 years ago, the other is Li Li, a Chinese girl. Now let’s change it into a narrative style. In other words, let’s describe the ancient and modern Olympic Games in our own words. Who would like to have a try?Closing down by summarizingAs we have finished the passage we’ll sum up what we have learned. First let’s see the writing skills. It is written in a conversational style. It’s in a very interesting way. It adopts a dialogue between Pausanias who lived 2000 years ago and a Chinese gird in modern world. Through their dialogue, the differences and similarities between the ancient and modern Olympic Games are made known to the readers. Just because it is in a conversational style, there are quite a few oral spoken English and elliptical phrases.Through the comparison between the ancient and modern Olympic Games, we have learned the differences and the similarities between them. Now we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage, we can have a deep understanding of the Games. From the passage, we can also get to know that the Olympic Games are developing and improving. It’s our duty to make the Olympic Games better and healthier. We know that one of the slogans for 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is Green Olympic Games. It shows that people are paying more and more attention to our environment.Period 2: A lesson plan for Learning about Language(The Future Passive V oice)Aims：To learn about future passive voiceTo discover useful words and expressionsTo learn the methods of words formationProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by dictatingThere are several important sentences in this unit. Let’s dictate them. If you ca n’t, learn them by heart after class.①When and where will the next Olympic Games be held?②I live in what you call “Ancient Greece”and / used to write about the OlympicGames more than 2000 years ago.③All countries can take part if they reach the standard to be admitted to the games.④The next Olympic Games will be held in my hometown.⑤It is just as much a competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win anOlympic medal.Warming up by discovering useful words and expressionsTurn to page 11 and do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 5 first. Check your answers against your classmates’. II. Learning about word formation1. Do exercise 4 and discover the rules.Turn to page 12 and find out the rules of word formation.By adding -ing to a verb, we can change the verb into a noun.That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the name of the sport”.By adding -er to a verb, we can change the verb into a noun. That means we can change “doing some sport” into “the person who does the sport”.2. Means of word-formation in generalAffixation, conversion, and composition (or compounding) are the chief means of word-formation in English. Besides these, there are also other minor ways of word-formation including clipping, acronymy, blending etc.III. Learning about Present Future Passive VoiceTurn to page 13 and do exercise 3. And tell the class the formation of present future passive voice.ⅣClosing down by summarizing1.Present future passive voice (take “ask” for example)2.The passive Voice of phrasal verbGenerally speaking, only transitive verbs can form the passive voice, for only transitive verbs can be followed by objects. But many intransitive verbs together with some prepositions and adverbs can be used as transitive verbs. So they can also be followed by the objects. Therefore they can also be used in passive voice.But note that all the phrasal verbs are used as a whole. When using them in passive voice, we cannot drop out the prepositions and adverbs. For examples:At last they put out the fire. At last the fire was put out.They will put up a notice on the wall. A notice will be put up on the wall.Have you sent for a doctor? Has the doctor been sent for?I have never heard of such a thing before. Such a thing has never been heard of before.We must take good care of the children here. The children must be taken good care of here. His classmates laughed at him for the foolish mistake. He was laughed at for the foolish mistake by his classmates.Period 3: A lesson plan for using languageAims:To read about the ancient Olympic GamesTo listen and talk about hobbiesTo write about hobbiesProcedures1. Warming upWarming up by introducingHi! Class. You know Greece is the world-known country with an ancient civilization. It has a long history with so much marvelous culture. The Greeks had wonderful stories about the Gods and Goddnesses who were part of their religion. They believed that these god or goddesses would help humans if they felt sorry for them or if the humans were good people. However, the Gods did not always help. They behaved like people who were unpredictable and capricious. To try to get the support of the Gods people had to pray to them and offer them present. In this story the Goddess Hera, the wife of the chief God, Zeus was sorry for Hippomenes and agreed to help him. Warming up by sharingNow, boys and girls. Is there anybody who can tell us some Greek mythology. You know they are so famous in human history. Or can you speak out some names of Greek Gods and Goddesses.Ⅱ. Guided reading1.

It was first sung at the 1896 Games. The IOC adopted it as the official Olympic anthem to crown olympic ceremonies at the 1958 IOC Session in Tokyo.The Olympic MottoThe Olympic motto “swifter, higher, stronger”comes from three Latin words”citus, altius, fortius”, which actually mean”faster, higher, braver”. The French educator, Baron Rerre de Coubertin, who revived the ancient Olympic Games and in 1896 led the first modern 01ympic Games in Athens,borrowed the phrase from a Dominican priest Henri Dinon. Mr.Dinon introduced these words while presenting athletic prizes at a college in 1891.But how did these words become the motto of the Olympic Games? It was Michel Breal who introduced this phrase at the closing dinner of the congress for the reestablishment of the modern Olympic Games on June 23,ter, the International Olympic Committee formally adopted this phrase as the official motto of the Games. The Olympic CreedThe Olympic creed was also introduced at the 1896 Games. As stated by Pierre de Coubertin, the creed is as follows:”The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”The Olympic FlagIt was Pierre de Coubertin who conceived the idea of the Olympic flag with five coloured interlocking rings on a white backround. The rings represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of the athletes from all around the world at the Olympic Games.Today, almost a century after the flag’s creation, the six colours, those of the rings (blue, yellow, black, green, red) and that of the white background which stands for peace, still maintain their symbolism and can be found in flags across the world. The Olympic flag was first used during the Antwerp Games in 1920.The Olympic Oath“In the name of all the competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”At the opening Ceremony of each Games, one athlete from the host country takes Olympic oath on behalf of all competing athletes. This particular gesture of sports-manship was introduced at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. A coach or team official takes a similar oath at each Opening Ceremony.The Olympic FlameThe Olympic flame is one of the most visible symbols of the modern Games. Its tradition has survived from the Games of ancient Greece, where a sacred flame, ignited by the sun, burned continually on the altar of the goddess Hera.The modern Olympic flame was first lit in 1928 at the Amsterdam Olympic Games, where it burned throughout the competitions. It has become a major symbol for solidarity among nations and embodies the Olympic spirit encompassing the ideals of purity, the endeavour for perfection, the struggle for victory, friendship and peace.The Torch RelayDuring the 1896 Games in Athens, young inspired sportsmen had organised the first torch relays. However, the tradition of the Olympic torch officially began at the Berlin Games in 1936. As in ancient times, the torch is lit by the sun in Ancient Olympia, then passed from runner to runner in a relay to the host city, where it is used to light the Olympic Stadium’s flame during the Games’ Opening Ceremony. The flame then burns until it is extinguished at the Closing Ceremony.

他在伊利斯城邦完成了常人无法完成的任务，不到半天功夫便扫干净了国王堆满牛粪的牛棚，但国王不想履行赠送300头牛的许诺，赫拉克勒一气之下赶走了国王。

为了庆祝胜利，他在奥林匹克举行了运动会。

关于古奥运会起源流传最广的是佩洛普斯娶亲的故事。

古希腊伊利斯国王为了给自己的女儿挑选一个文武双全的驸马，提出应选者必须和自己比赛战车。

比赛中，先后有13个青年丧生于国王的长矛之下，而第14个青年正是宙斯的孙子和公主的心上人佩洛普斯。

在爱情的鼓舞下，他勇敢地接受了国王的挑战，终于以智取胜。

为了庆贺这一胜利，佩洛普斯与公主在奥林匹亚的宙斯庙前举行盛大的婚礼，会上安排了战车、角斗等项比赛，这就是最初的古奥运会，佩洛普斯成了古奥运会传说中的创始人。

奥运会的起源，实际上与古希腊的社会情况有着密切的关系。

公元前9-8世纪，希腊氏族社会逐步瓦解，城邦制的奴隶社会逐渐形成，建立了200多个城邦。

城邦各自为政，无统一君主，城邦之间战争不断。

为了应付战争，各城邦都积极训练士兵。

斯巴达城邦儿童从7岁起就由国家抚养，并从事体育、军事训练，过着军事生活。

战争需要士兵，士兵需要强壮身体，而体育是培养能征善战士兵的有力手段。

战争促进了希腊体育运动的开展，古奥运会的比赛项目也带有明显的军事烙印。

连续不断的战事使人民感到厌恶，普遍渴望能有一个赖以休养生息的和平环境。

后来斯巴达王和伊利斯王签订了"神圣休战月"条约。

于是，为准备兵源的军事训练和体育竞技，逐渐变为和平与友谊的运动会。

古代奥运会的盛衰古奥运会从公元前776年起，到公元394年止，经历了1168年，共举行了293届。

Module 2 Unit2 The Olympic Games一、设计思想1、设计思想与理论依据根据教育部颁布的普通高级中学英语新课程标准，基础教育阶段英语课程的目标是以学生语言知识、语言技能、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识的发展为基础，培养学生英语综合语言运用能力。

为更好地实现上述目标，新课程标准倡导任务型的教学模式，让学生在教师的指导下，通过感知、体验、实践、参与和合作等方式，实现任务的目标，感受成功。
