(teacher writes the word on the blackboard) do you understand the meaning of the word?ss: no.t: sequence means the order of the events. it can tell us which event happens first, and which happens later. do you know the sequence that is used in our text?s3: yes. at first, the text tells us something that happened before the quake, then it tells us the things that happened during the quake and at last it tells us the things that happened after the earthquake.t: quite right! now please look at the screen, these are the first sentences of each paragraph. read them and think if they are the main idea of the text. if necessary, you may make some changes to make more exact.teacher shows the screen and gives a little time to think it over.1.strange things were happening in the countryside in the northeast hebei.2.the disaster happened and caused a lot of loss.3. all hope was not lost.careful readingt: now, it’s time for us to read the text carefully. but before reading, you should read some questions first. these questions may help you get some information quickly and easily. now look at the screen, and read the questions.show on the screen1.what natural signs of a coming disaster were there?2.can you think of some reasons why these signs weren’t noticed?3.what events probably made the disaster worse?4.what situations probably made the disaster worse?5.how were the survivors held?step v. extensionshow the questions on the screen.1.from whose point of view are events described? how do you know?2.what is the mood of this passage? how is it created?3.why do you think the writer chooses to express his feelings about the quake rather than simply reporting what had happened?4.why is the title a night the earth didn’t sleep?5.what does the sentence “slowly, the city began to breathe again.” mean?answers:1.he uses third-person to describe the quake. his description is very objective. for example, the second sentence in the third paragraph. the writer says: “everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed.” the writer uses they instead of we.2.the mood is serious and a bit sad. it is created by giving details of how many people and animals were killed or injured, and how many buildings were destroyed.3.although the writer was not there, he felt sad for the people of tangshan. he knows that some personal feelings will make the reading more interesting.4.i think the reason is that, as usual, night is the time to sleep, and night should be safe and quiet. but that night everything changed. the writer uses a night the earth didn’t sleep as a title to show how terrible and how unusual the night was.5.here we can see that the writer compared the city to a person who suffered a lot in the disaster. he felt her pain, and he worried about her. so when he said that people came to help her, we can feel his feelings to the city. the city will not die, she has hope and she can recover from the pain. step vi comprehendinganswers to exx1-31.1. c2. e3.b4.d5.a2.1. the walls of the villages wells had cracks in them.2 .roads got huge cracks3. brick buildings were destroyed.4. the army helped the survivors.5. shelters were put up for those with no homes.3.1. strange things were happening in the countryside in northeast hebei..1.the disaster happened and caused a lot of loss.2.all hope was not lost.step vii homeworkEarthquakes教案2新课标高一必修1英语教案unit 4 earthquakes (简案)teaching plan for unit 4 earthquakesteaching aims and demands:1. topic:basic knowledge of earthquakes; how to protect oneself and help the others in disasters2. useful words and expressions:shake, well (n.), rise, smelly, pond, pipe, burst, canal, steam, dirt, ruin, injure, destroy, brick, dam, useless, steel, shock, quake, rescue, electricity, disaster, army, organize, bury, coal, shelter, fresh, percent, speech, judge, honour, prepare;right away, (be) at an end, dig out, bring in, a (great )number of3. functions:talking about past experiences:i will never forget the day when the earthquake took place. the time was 5:15 in the afternoon and i was driving along the road.sequence4. grammar:the attributive clause (i)由that, which, who, whose引导的定语从句the number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000.it was heard in beijing which is one hundred kilometers away.workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.teaching procedures:period 1.step 1. warming upss discuss and answer some questions:1. which of the following may cause people the greatest damage?a. earthquakeb. typhoonc. floodd. drought2. imagine your home begins to shake and you must leave it right away. you have time to take only one thing. what will you take?
