Let the students receive some moral education while they are learning the English language.Teaching method:Double activities teaching method; Question-and–answer activity teaching method; Watch-and-listen activityTeaching aids:computer and the blackboardPart 3 Teaching procedureStep 1 Revision ( 2 minutes )Get the students to match different types of humor that they learned in Warming-up and some names of famous comedy actors. For example, Mr. Bean and mime, Mark Twain and funny stories and so on.This step is employed to review the words related to humor and draw the students’ attention to the topic about nonverbal humor.Step 2 Lead-in ( 3 minutes )Show the students a clip from the film The Gold Rush and ask them two questions:①In this film, what was he eating? (a pair of shoes)②Can you try to give a description on Chaplin?(He wore a small black hat, very wide trousers, a moustache and carried a stick that he swung in the air as he walked.)These questions are intended to warm up the students and think about the theme of reading. And it can also arouse the interests of the students to speak English in class on the topics they like and they are familiar with.Step 3 While-readingI. Fast reading ( 5 minutes )First I will introduce Charlie Chaplin briefly, who was a great silent movie star of his time. And then ask the students to read the passage quickly to find more information about him and answer the questions that will be shown on the screen:①What was Charlie Chaplin famous for?②How many famous film or characters are mentioned in the text? What are the names?In this part the students are required to get some related information from the passage. This method is used to train the student to get the general idea of the passage. And it is also a good chance for them to improve their skimming skills.II. Detailed reading ( 15 minutes )I will ask the students to read the whole passage again carefully and answer some detailed questions. It is also called depth reading or study reading. It means reading for detailed information. The purpose is to make the students understand the reading material better.1.

Write down the main idea of each paragraph:Paragraph 1: The world situationParagraph 2: Charlie’s childhoodParagraph 3: His famous film characterParagraph 4: An example of his workParagraph 5: His achievementsI think a good way to check whether the students have understood the reading is to ask them to summarize the passage in one sentence. This is a valuable skill that students will be asked to attempt in the comprehending section.Step 4 Post reading1. Discussion ( 7 minutes )①What should we learn from Charlie Chaplin?(We should be optimistic(乐观) no matter what difficulties we meet with, just as Charlie Chaplin was.)②What should we do to get success?(Set up an aim; do our best; pay more time then others; never give up / lose heart; insist on what we pursue)Apart from the knowledge they get from this lesson, it is a good opportunity for the students to receive moral education.2. Make a dialogue ( 10 minutes )Imagine one of the students wants to write an article about Charlie Chaplin for the column“HUMOUR” of th e school newspaper. So he is going to interview Charlie Chaplin.The purpose of this step is to create a language environment for students’ communication in class; and give the students a chance to practise their spoken English. If the students can finish this task well, they will benefit a lot in their spoken English. They can use some important words and phrases that they have learned in the passage. This process can be regarded as a quiz. I can know if my students understand the whole text really and if they master what I mean to tell them in this class.Step 5 Summary ( 2 minutes )Today we have learned something about humor. Humor is everywhere in our daily life. I hope in the future you can be optimistic(乐观) no matter what difficulties you meet with, just as Charlie Chaplin was.Step 6 Homework ( 1 minute )Try to rewrite the passage in the first person in 120 words and then present it in the next class.This step is used to practise their ability of writing and looking up information by themselves.。
