人教版高中英语教案必修1第四单元Unit 4：EarthquakesPeriod 1: A sample lesson plan for reading(A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T S) LEEPAims：To listen and talk about natural disastersTo read about earthquakesStep I. Warming up1.Warming up by asking some questions：(1) Have you ever experienced any natural disasters?(2) Can you name all the disasters?(volcano, fire, sandstorm, typhoon, hailstone, thunderstorm, flood, hurricane, earthquake, mudflow)(3) Have you ever experienced an earthquake? Can you describe how terrible an earthquake is?(The earth is shaking; All the buildings will fall down; Many people will die and homeless; Many children will become orphans.)2. Warming up by discussingNow, look at the pictures of Tangshan and San Francisco in warming up and describe what you see in the pictures. (beautiful cities; broad roads; tall building; large population.)(4) What will happen if there has been a big earthquake in these two cities?As we all know, earthquakes are disasters to everyone. But can we avoid or at least reduce the loss caused by earthquakes? Can we foretell earthquakes?Now let’s come to Pre-reading and decide what may happen before an earthquake comes.Step II. Pre-reading1.Talking and sharingWhat are the signs of an earthquake?(e.g. Cows, pigs and dogs become too nervous too eat.The mice will run out of the fields looking for places to hide.The water in the wells will rise and fall.Walls of the houses in villages will have deep cracks.There will be bright lights in the sky….)2. Imaging and sharingImagine there is an earthquake now, your home begins to shake and you must leave it right away. You have time to take only one thing. What will you take? Why?Step III. Reading1. Listening and fast readingNow, let’s come to the text “A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP” andsee what it tells us. Please listen to the text and get the general idea of the passage. You should pay attention to the first sentences of each paragraph. In what order is the text written?(The text is written in time order. The general idea is the mixture of the first sentences of each paragraph, that is, the text tells us something that happened before the earthquake, during the earthquake and after the earthquake.)2. Reading and underliningNext you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them in your notebook after class as homework.a smelly gas, come out of, in the farmyards, too nervous to eat, run out of, look for place to hide, water pipes, think little of sth., as usual, it seemed that, at an end, one hundred kilometers away, one-third eight kilometers long, thirty meters wide, cutacross, in ruins, be injury, the number of, reach more than 400, 000, everywhere, everything was destroyed, be gone, blow away, sth. be not safe for, tens of thousands of, give milk, half a million, instead of, be shocked, later that afternoon, be trapped under the ruins, fall down, all…is/was not…, hundreds of thousands o f, dig out, the dead, to the north of, coal mines, built shelters, fresh water3.

What events and situations probably made the disaster worse?5. How were the survivors helped?6. Could anything more have been done to help the survivors? Why or why not?5. Discussing writing styleAs you have understood the general idea of the text, I still put more questions to you.1. From whose point of view are events described? How do you know?(A writer who didn’t see the quake uses the third person “they” when he writes.)2. Why do you think the writer chose to express her feelingsabout the quake rather than simply report what happened?(Although the writer was not there he felt sad for the people of Tang Shan. He knows that giving some feelings will make the reading more interesting.)3. Why is the title “A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP”?(As usual, night is the time to sleep, and night should be quiet and safe. But that night everything changed. The writer used it as a title to show how terrible and how unusual that night is.)6. Reading and understanding difficult sentences.If you have some difficult sentences to understand, come to me for help.Step IV.

Materials for Relative Pronouns: which, that, who whom whoseWhat are Relative Pronouns?Relative pronouns are special pronouns which can connect the antecedent(先行词) and the attributive clause. Also they can be used as a part of the attributive clause. Here are some important differences: 1．Which / that: referring to things, can be used as a subject or an object in the attributive clause; when they are used as an object, they can be omitted:The plane is a machine that/which can fly.The school (that/which) he visited last week is to the south of the city.2. that/ who/whom: referring to a person, can be used assubject or object in the attributive clause; whom can be used as an object:The girl (that/whom/who) we saw yesterday was Jim’s sister.The man that/who is talking to my father is my math teacher.3. whose: referring to a person or a thing, can be used as an attribute in the attributive clause:This is the writer whose name is known all over the world.The room whose window faces south is mine.4. Before everything, anything, everybody, anybody, all, the best +n, thefifth +n, we use that instead of which:All (that) I need is time.This is the largest factory (that) I have ever visitedThe sixth lesson (that) we are learning is the most difficult in Book Two.5. We can’t use that in a Non-Defining Attributive Clause:I have lost the pen, which I like very much.I have two sisters, who are both teachers.Step IV. QuizNow you are going to take a quiz on Relative Pronouns.Fill in the blanks, using which, that, who, whom, whose.(1) The force -------causes everything to fall towards the ground is called gravity.(2) A friend -------- helps you in time of need is a friend indeed.(3) Do you know the girl------- parents are teachers in our school?(4) The woman ------ I spoke to just now is my English teacher.(5) He saw a house------- windows were all broken.(6) Everything------- can be done today mustn’t be donetomorrow.(7) Can you think of anyone--------- could look after him?(8) This is the best hotel-------- I know.(9) The man------- I saw told me to come back today.(10) Those-------- want to go to the Great Wall write down your names here.(11) He talked a lot about the teachers and the schools-------he had visited.(12) The ninth lesson --------we are learning is the most difficult in Book One.(13) Mount Blanc(勃朗峰),-------- they visited last month, is the highest mountain in Europe.(14) We know all the teacher-------- work in our school.(15) The house in -------Lu Xun once lived is a museum now.(16) The house -------Lu Xun once lived is a museum now.(17) The house-------- Lu Xun once lived in is a museum now.(18) You can take any room---------you like.(19) He showed a machine------ parts are too small to be seen.(20) The sports meet was put off, ------- was exactly what we wanted.Answers to the exercises: (1)which/that (2)who/that (3)whose (4)whom/that/who (5)whose (6)that (7)that (8)that (9)that/whom/who (10)who (11)that (12)that (13)which (14)that (15)which (16)in which/where (17)which/that (18)that (19)whose (20)whichPeriod 3: A sample lesson plan for Using Language(A letter from Zhang Sha)Aims: 1).

ListeningWe’ll listen to a story about a person who experienced the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Listen and try to get some details that exercises 1 and 2 request.Step IV. Guided writing (SB. page 31)1. Making a introductionHave you ever read a newspaper story? Now turn on your books to page 31 and look at Writing. Read the brief description about how to write a newspaper story. Compare a newspaper story to a short story and answer the following questions.1). What should you write before writing a newspaper story? (outline)2). What should a newspaper outline have?(a headline; a list of main ideas; a list of important details)3). Why a headline is needed?(It can tell the readers what the topic is; it c an also attract the readers’ attention)4). How can you finish a newspaper story?(First, you should write a headline, then organize your main ideas into paragraphs, and then put some details into each paragraph.)5). Have you found out the difference between a newspaper story and a short story?(Usually a short story begins with small details and includes big details later. A newspaper story does just the opposite. Both kinds of stories use paragraphs with main ideas. In a good newspaper story, the point-of-view is objective (i.e. it has no point-of-view) while a short story is subjective (i.e. it has a point-of-view). A newspaper story has no conclusion; a short story generally does.)Now I’ll show you a newspaper story to find out the headline, mai n idea and details of each paragraph.THE WASHINGTON POSTSEATTLE-A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 hitWashington State last week. The quake, the biggest in 50 years, caused billions of dollars in damage. But miraculously, only one person died and more than 100 people were injured in the quake.Authorities said one reason there wasn’t greater destruction is that the region spent millions of dollars in the last decade designing earthquake----proof facilities and improving existing buildings, schools and homes. Earthquake expert said the event illustrated(说明) the growing gap between rich and poor nations in the ability to mitigate(减轻) natural disasters. Only a handful of people were seriously injured here, a slight number compared with the devastation(破坏) in countries like Turkey, India and El Salvador, where quakes have buried thousands under poorly constructed buildings.2. WritingNow prepare the outline for a short newspaper story for China Daily. You can use the example in exercise 1 to help you organize your outline.3. UnderliningRead the outline and the newspaper story in Writing and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in them. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.Collocations from Writinga list of, put some details into each paragraph, a team of, raise money, thousands of, plan to do sth., in early June, hope to do sth., be interested to do sth.Step IV SummaryWe have learned a lot about earthquakes. Now let’s have a s ummary about what we have learned. Look at the following questions.(1). Have you ever experienced an earthquake?(2). Can you describe an earthquake in English?(3). What do you know about the cause of an earthquake?(4). What new information about earthquakes have you learned now?(5). What words and expressions can you use to describe an earthquake?Earthquake Survival TipsWould you know what to do during a really big earthquake? Experts have looked into matter carefully. It may be worth you while to look over the following tips they have for us.If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, pull over and stay in your car. If you are in a building, try to get near a strong wall. The corner of the room or the space under a big doorway is the safest. As soon as the quake is over, check the gas pipe in the building. Gas fires often result from earthquakes. These tips may prove to be lifesavers. We should, therefore, keep them in mind. Remember to always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.Escape in the SchoolIf it has an earthquake when having classes, the students should listen to the teacher’s instruction, protect their heads and hide under the desks.Language points1. imagine vt. form a picture of in the mind；think of (sth.) as probable：想象；认为（某事）可能发生或存在。
