精选全文完整版可编辑修改高一英语必修一Unit4 Earthquake大课文教学设计【课文总体设计思路:先播放一组图片,学生的注意力马上就会被吸引到课堂上来,学生马上就联想到E arthquake这一词,这时教师提出“What’s the cause?”,学生会回答他们所了解的地震知识。
紧接着和学生一起了解ppt中所呈现的问题,倘若地震发生,学生们会带什么逃离, 然后通过图片,学生更易掌握地震方面的知识,为课文的阅读作了很好的铺垫,接着教师引导学生进行进一步探究地震方面的知识。
通过小组讨论、合作得出结论,教师进行一定的总结。
接着呈现文章的标题“A Night the Earth didn’t Sleep”,引导学生解读文章标题、预测文章内容,让学生在阅读过程中处于主动认知状态。
学生可能一下子无法正确理解其所包含的深层含义。
但估计在前面所展示的图片的启发下,大部分同学可能很快就能作出正确的理解。
另外,考虑到文章生词较多,且大部分学生对文章的背景知识了解较少。
因此,在引导学生预测文章内容的同时,有3个小视频的播放,并进行小组之间的讨论。
分段对文章细节理解完成后,设置了“如何在地震中进行自我保护”的小组讨论活动。
最后是对文章的总结和作业的布置。

The Attributive Clause tells us which person or thing (or what kind of person or thing ) the speaker means.e.g. The woman who lives next door is a teacher.A sentence with an attributive clause contains two shorter sentences. In the sentence above, the two short sentences are: “The woman is a teacher.” And “ The woman lives next door.” The Attributive Clause is the answer to the question: Which woman is a teacher?Would you try to divide the sample sentence on the blackboard into two short sentences?T: That’s right. Now try to find all the sentences with Attributive Clauses in the reading passage and divide each sentence into two short sentences.T: Next I will say something about the common relative pronouns.“Who” is used for people. “Which”is used for things. “That” is used for things or people. “Whose” is used instead of his/her/their/somebody’s. “Whom” is quite formal, and in most cases it is all right to use who instead.

The stories are true and were written for the Museum of the City of San Francisco. The museum has many such personal accounts and photos at /1906/06.html. If you are interested in them, you can surf in the site I’ve given to you.Record after teaching:____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ _________The Seventh PeriodKnowledge:1.Learn how to make an earthquake plan.2.Learn what to contain in a personal earthquake bag.Ability:1.Train the students’ listening ability.2.Train the students’ speaking ability.3.Learn to find reasons for their choices.4.Learn to sum up what they have learned in the unit.Emotion:Learn to cooperate with others.Teaching Important Points:1.

Let’s look at the form on Page 66 and have a discussion about the earthquake plan with your partner.( Ss give their answers)T: What should you do if you are outside?(Ss give their answers)T: What should you do if you are in the living room?(different answers)T: What should you do if you are in the house room?(different answers)T: Next we are going to listen to the tape and write down the three “things” that are mentioned.(After listening, teacher checks the answers with the students.)T: Then let’s listen again. This time you should write down more details about each of the “things”.(After listening, teacher checks the answers with the class. Play the tape again if necessary.)Step 3 SpeakingT: You know every family should have an earthquake bag, in which there are enough things that you can use in case of an earthquake. Here we have a list of possible items for the personal earthquake bag. Choose only eight things, which you think are the most essential, from the list. They must last you five days. Discuss with your partner.(After several minutes.)T: Now join another pair and discuss your choices. Put all the things you agree oninto a final list. Discuss the other items explaining your reasons and trying to agree which ones are the most suitable.(After several minutes.)T: Each group should choose one representative. Now be prepared to present your list to the class and give your reasons for each choice.Step 4 Learning TipT: In order to learn a language well, you should do a lot of practice, including listening, speaking, reading and writing.
