We have learned many things about it. Up till now, earthquakes are difficult to predict. We can hardly avoid an earthquake. But actually we can do things to reduce the losses of an earthquake. 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 th e “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 on into 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. Only when we understand what is said to us can we have a conversation with somebody. So listening to English is very important. After class, you should listen to the English news on CCTV International. You will not only get a lot of information about what is happening around the world, but also improve your listening and learn more English words and expressions. At the same, you will improve your pronunciation and intonation.Step 5 Summing upT: Now let’s sum up what you have learnt in this unit. Work with your partner.

人教版必修1Unit 4 EarthquakesThe Seventh Period●从容说课This is the last period of this unit,so the teacher will lay emphasis on revision and summary.The Learning Tip of this unit is to listen to English more. So at first,the students will do a listening test. It is a story about a survivor of the terrible San Franciscoearthquake. After listening,the students are asked to do some true-or-false exercises and answer some questions. The step is to improve the students’ ability to catch the useful information while listening. Then the students are asked to read after the tap e to imitate the pronunciation and intonation,which is also a purpose of listening.Then the students will sum up what they have learned in this unit,including the knowledge about the earthquakes,useful words,phrases expressions and new grammar items. The students should frequently look back on what they have learned. Only in this way can they learn the language better.At last the students will do a project. This requires the students to put what they have learned in this unit into use. The students will first discuss the project in groups of four. Then they will form different groups and tell the new group members their plan. This step is to train the students’speaking ability as well as the ability to cooperate with others. It also requires the students to reason what they are planning to do.●三维目标1.Knowledge:(1)The important words,phrases and expressions in this unit.(2)The new grammar item,the Attributive Clause.2.Ability:(1)Train the students’ listening ability.(2)Train the students’ speaking ability.(3)Train the students’ ability to read with feelings.(4)Learn to be logical while doing things.4.Emotion:(1)Learn to cooperate with each other.(2)Learn to be brave to face the difficulties.●教学重点(1)Train the students’ listening ability.(2)Train the students’ speaking ability.●教学难点(1)Carry out a project.(2)Learn to be logical while doing things.●教具准备(1)a tape recorder(2)a projector(3)the blackboard●教学过程Step 1 GreetingsGreet the whole class as usual.Step 2 ListeningT:In the last period we learned a passage written by an eyewitness about the terrible San Francisco earthquake in 1906.Today we will listen to a story told by a man who was a survivor of the earthquake. Listen to the tape the first time,and try to tell whether the statements in Part 1 are true or false.(Teacher plays the tape for the students to listen and finish the task.)(After listening,the teacher checks the answers with the class.)T:Now let’s listen to the tape agai n. This time you should try to correct the statements that are false.(Teacher checks the answers with the students after listening.)T:Let’s listen to the tape the third time and try to answer the questions in Part 2.(After listening,the teacher checks the answers.)T:While listening to the tape,you should not only pay attention to the contents,but also the pronunciation and intonation. Next,I will play the tape again. You should mark liaison and incomplete explosion in the sentences in Part 3.Then practice reading them aloud.(Students listen and read. Meanwhile,the teacher goes around the classroom to correct any mistakes that the students may make.)Step 3 Learning tipT:In order to learn a language well,you should do a lot of practice,including listening,speaking,reading and writing. Only when we understand what is said to us can we have a conversation with somebody. So listening to English is very important. After class,you should listen to the English news on the radio or watch the news on CCTV International. You will not only get a lot of information about what is happening around the world,but also improve your listening and learn more English words and expressions. At the same time,you will improve your pronunciation and intonation.Step 4 Summing u pT:Now let’s sum up what you have learnt in this unit. Work with your partner. First write down what you have learned about earthquakes. Then write down the verbs,nouns,expressions and new grammar items that you have learned from this unit.(After several minutes the teacher will ask some individual students to read out what they have written down.)Step 5 ProjectT:By now you know that earthquakes are terrible natural disasters and that China is unlucky enough to have a lot of them. However,as the example of Tangshan has shown,peo ple can find hope for a brighter future even after a bad earthquake. Work in groups of four. First share what you have learned about earthquakes with your group memb ers.(Ss work in groups.)T:Now imagine that your group lives in a city that has been hit by an earthquake. Your group is given the job to build a new city. Make a list of things that need to be done. Decide what things must be done first and what things can be done later. The list of things on Page 68 should be considered. Maybe you will have different opinions with other group members. Remember to give reasons for what you have chosen.(Ss discuss in groups,while the teacher gets around the classroom and helps the students deal with any difficulties they may have.)T:From your group’s list,choose one thing that you consider to be the most important an d write down your reasons.(After several minutes.)T:Now we will make different groups.Number every member of your group from 1 to 4.All the students with No.1 go to one group,and all the students with No.2 go to the same group and the same with students with No.3 and No.4.(After the students have formed new groups.)T:Tell your new group members the thing that you have chosen and the reasons. Then each group should make a list of three most important things.(After several minutes the teacher checks the students’ answers.)(The answers can be various. But each group must provide enough reasons for the things that they have chosen.)●板书设计Unit 4 EarthquakeThe Seventh PeriodSumming upWrite down what you have learned about earthquakes.From this unit you have also learned·useful verbs:·useful nouns:·other expressions:·new grammar item:●活动与探究Poster-makingReport on Earthquakes:Up till now the students have learned a lot of things about earthquakes,including two terrible earthquakes both at home and abroad,the causes of earthquakes,the ways to reduce the losses of earthquakes,and how to produce an earthquake plan.

That afternoon when I was making up my face in a dressing tent at the moment,I suddenly heard someone run past shouting “Fire! ”Fire was what we circus(马戏团)people most feared for there was a large audience in the tent,including many children. I rushed towards the tent with a bucket but I could do nothing with it since the tent was burning too high and the flames spreading quickly.In the burning tent was a scene of panic(恐慌):people rushed towards the exits,and some even jumped twelve feet from the top rows of the grandstand to the ground outside. Some people,after getting out,tried to re-enter to help their relatives or friends. Yet it was impossible for them to get through the crowd;instead,they blocked the way,I fought at one exit,shouting at the top of my lungs.“Go on! Keep moving!”At every exit,circus people were doing the same thing. In the midst of this scene,the musicians kept on playing until the tent was a fire overhead.City fire equipment finally arrived and put out the fire. All the circus people were safe though some were bruised(撞伤)or burned during the rescue work. The audience,however,were not that lucky. In a panic,they all tried to use the regular exits through which they had entered the rent. As a result,168 people had died in the fire ─the worst circus disaster in history.。
