人教版高一Unit 4 Nelson Mandela全英教案

必修一Unit 5 Nelson Mandela—a modern heroReading一．Type 教学课型：Reading 阅读课本文以Elias 的口吻，讲述了南非黑人所受到的不公正待遇以及他们争取种族平等的斗争历史。

同时还提到了他与Nelson Mandela的一段交往，从侧面向学生展示Nelson Mandela的高贵品质。

教材设计的目的是在训练学生阅读技能的基础上，让他们认识到南非黑人争取自由和平等权利而付出的艰辛努力。

文章的主题有利于培养学生坚强的意志，树立正确的人生观与世界观。

二．Analysis of the textbook 教材分析教材借穷苦的黑人工人伊莱雅斯之口，叙述发生在他身边的纳尔逊曼德拉的故事，时间是从1952年到1963年。

伊莱雅斯初遇曼德拉时还是一个年仅12岁的黑人少年，正处于人生的一个非常困难时期。

当时曼德拉开办了专为黑人服务的侓师事务所，帮助黑人解决问题。

伊莱雅斯正是在曼德拉的帮助下获得了在约翰内斯堡工作的合法权利，在曼德拉的教育下，伊莱雅斯开始体会到人生的快乐和希望。

曼德拉亲切和蔼的态度、宽容博大的襟怀让他深深感到，永生难忘。

因此，伊莱雅斯第一时间加入了曼德拉领导的非洲人国民大会青年联盟，聆听曼德拉的演讲，积极参加他组织的反政府活动，为争取获得与白人平等的权利而斗争。

这样的写法有别于惯常所采用的平铺直叙，虽然只反映出曼德拉的一个侧面，但读起来却更加亲切感人，引人入胜，还留给了学生更多的思考空间。

在本单元的Warming up &pre-reading部分，学生通过图片了解了一个伟人应具备怎样的品质。

为熟悉本课的内容作了铺垫。

虽然学生对一些伟人已经有一点的背景知识，但是对Nelson Mandela 并非完全了解。

本节课的目的是让学生通过阅读，从语言材料中获取相关信息，并通过对信息的加工和处理，提高他们的语言运用能力。

Period 3 Grammar(the Attributive Clause (Ⅱ)整体设计从容说课This is the third teaching period of this unit. To test whether the students have grasped the important and difficult language points they learned in the last period, the teacher should first offer them some revision exercises. The pattern “ only then did we decide to answer violence with violence”is a bit important, so special exercises should be designed.This teaching period mainly deals with the grammar:the Attributive Clause introduced by the relative adverb and preposition+which/whom. Firstly, the teacher can ask the students to read the text Elias’ Story, tick out the attributive clauses in the reading passage and translate them into Chinese. Secondly, compare and discover the usages of the Attributive Clause, especially the usages of Relative Adverbs (when, where, why)and preposition+which/whom by giving a lot of example sentences. Thirdly, do the exercises in Discovering useful structures on Page 37 and more exercises for students to master the Attributive Clause introduced by the relative adverb and preposition+which/whom. Finally, summarize the Attributive Clause.At the end of the class, ask the students to do the exercises in Using structures on Page 71 and additional exercises for consolidation.教学重点Get the students to master the Attributive Clause introduced by the Relative Adverb and preposition+which/whom.教学难点Enable the students learn how to choose relative adverbs and how to use preposition+which/whom correctly.教学方法1.

attributive clause.So in today’s lesson，first I’d like to check your homework.Please turn to Page 36.Suppose Elias has had some problems with his messages for his friends，can you help him form sentences with the following words and phrases？Who’d like to have a try first？：I’m glad to.S1T：Very good，Mary.Are you ready？：Yes.The mines where I worked were 9 km from my house.S1T：Well done.Who want a try again？：Let me try.The time when we arrived was late at night.S2（Form sentences with the list words and phrases in the same way.Encourage students to make up as many sentences as possible.）Possible sentences：1.The reason why I got a job was because of my hard work.2.The government building where we arrived was very grand.3.The date when I joined the ANC Youth League was the 5th of August.T：You’ve done a good job.But I’m sorry to tell you that Elias has lost some of his messages.Can you help him？Ss：Of course.T：You’re very kind.Please help him by completing the following sentences：1.The day when Elias first met Nelson Mandela was a very exciting time.2.South Africa is now a country where the blacks have the same rights as the whites.3.This is the government building in which Elias blew it up.4.The person to whom the blacks often turned for help is Nelson Mandela.T：Now perhaps you’re a little tired.Let’s play the game in groups of four.The first person begins with a sentence and each person in the group adds extra and different information using the attributive clause.Now please look at the example and read it together.（Show the example on the screen.）Example：：The school was very large.S1S：The school where I learned was very large.2：The school where I learned for six years was very large.S3S：The school where I learned for six years so unhappily was very large.4begins the game with another T：Now please change places.For example，S2sentence.Do this several times until every one of you has had a go.I’ll give you several minutes to practice.（Some minutes later，check with the whole class.）T：Please stop here.It’s time to present your set of sentences to theclass.Any volunteer？Ss：We want a try.T：Good.Please begin.Possible sentences：1.S：The factory has been closed.1：The factory where I worked has been closed.S2S：The factory where I worked for two years has been closed.3S：The factory where I worked with Tom for two years has been closed.42.S：The year was 1809.5：The year when Lincoln was born was 1809.S6：The year when Lincoln was born in Kentucky was 1809.S7：The year when Lincoln was born in a poor family in Kentucky was 1809.S8Step 3 ListeningT：The game is so interesting，isn’t it？At the same time，you did verywell.Now，let’s turn to the next part.In the reading passage，Elias told ushis experience.So my question is：Did Elias join the ANC Youth League？Ss：Yes.T：Why do you think Elias join the ANC Youth League？S：Because the ANC Youth League was organized by Nelson Mandela，who had 3helped Elias when Elias was in great trouble.So Elias never forgot how kindNelson Mandela was and joined the ANC Youth League as soon as possible.T：Good.Do you think it is right to join the ANC Youth League？Please giveyour reason.S：I think it is right.Because at that time，black people were treated 4unfairly.Take Elias for example，he had to leave school because his family couldnot continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare，so he could not read orwrite.When he got a job in a gold mine，he was worried about whether he would be out of work simply because he did not have the passbook because he was not born there.There were the greatest number of laws stopping their rights and they had almost no rights at all.So when Nelson Mandela organized the ANC Youth League to struggle against racial discrimination in South Africa，it is natural for Elias to join it as soon as he could and it is to realize their dream of making black and white people equal.T：Very good.So if you were Elias，you would do the same thing as him，right？：Right.S4T：Do you agree with him/her？Ss：Yes.T：Of course，I would，too.From the reading passage，we know a lot of information of racial discrimination in South Africa.Just now，we talked a lot about why Elias joined the ANC Youth League according to the reading passage.Today we’ll listen to the tape and then please find out the true reason why Elias joined the ANC Youth League.T：Now please open your books at Page 37.Before you listen to the tape，please read the multiple choices fast to find out the listening points first.While you read，you’d better make notes of the listening points.Now，I’ll play the tape twice.Please listen carefully and pay more attention to the important points.You may make notes for you to remember the important points.Are you ready？Ss：Yes.T：OK.Let’s begin.Step 4 ListeningT：Just now we listened a passage about Elias.Now we’ve going to listen to a passage about William Tyndale.Who is William Tyndale？Ss：William Tyndale wrote the Bible in English so all could read it.He diedfor his ideas，but his work was later used in the Bible.T：Yes，we talked about him in the first period.After we listen to the passage，we’ll know more information about him.Please look at the questions before we listen to the text，which will help you understand the listening points.（Give the students two minutes to read the questions.）T：Now I’ll play the tape twice.Please listen carefully and pay more attention to the important points.Please make notes if necessary.Step 5 TalkingT：It’s time for you to do some oral practice.Let’s talk about your hero/heroine.Please use the following questions to help you.Who is your hero/heroine？Why do you like her/him so much？Did he/she do anything for others？What are his/her best qualities？By the way maybe the following sentence patterns are helpful for you.Good idea!I think/don’t think....That’s an excellent idea!I’m afraid....I agree/don’t agree.Why do you think so？I prefer....What do you think of...？In my opinion....What’s your opinion？（Give students five minutes to have a discussion.）T：OK.Time is up.Is everybody ready？Who’d like to try to tell us his/heropinion？：I think Marie Curie is my heroine.My favorite scientist is Madam S5Curie.Why was Marie Curie a significant woman in European Science？Because she was the first woman to be awarded a doctorate，the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris，the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person of either sex to win two Nobel Prizes.Marie Curie was the most successful scientist to come out of Poland.She saw science as a beauty that she wanted to withhold.Science to her was an unknown fairy tale phenomenon that she was determined to discover.Marie Curie wanted to use science to help others and the world.She accomplished this by working in World War Ⅰ，and discovering radium，and polonium.Marie Curie’s discovery of polonium was a great scientific finding.This is because it helped the research of uranic rays，and it led to the discovery of radium.The work of Marie Curie was not just important for her discoveries of new elements，but the process she used to isolate them，helped to create a “stockpile” of a few grams of radioactive material，which future scientists could use for further studies.As a result of her work X-Rays are very common today，as is Carbon dating，radiotherapy，and other medical applications for radiation.It is for no small reason that Marie Curie is considered by most to be the greatest woman scientist of all time.The world indeed owes a great debt to Marie Curie.：I agree with you，but I think Albert Einstein is my hero.Albert Einstein S6was born on March 14，1879 in Ulm，Wurttemberg，Germany.Einstein contributed more than any other scientist since Sir Isaac Newton to our understanding of physical reality.Einstein worked at the patent office in Bern，Switzerland from 1902 to 1909.During this period he completed an astonishing range of theoretical physics publications，written in his spare time，without the benefit of close contact with scientific literature or colleagues.The most well known of these works is Einstein’s 1905 paper proposing “the special theory of relativity”. Later in 1905 Einstein showed how mass and energy were equivalent expressing it in the famous equation：E=mc2（energy equals mass times thevelocity of light squared）.This equation became a cornerstone in the development of nuclear energy.Einstein received the Nobel Prize in 1921 but not for relativity，rather for his 1905 work on the photoelectric effect.He worked on at Princeton until the end of his life on an attempt to unify the laws of physics.Step 6 SummaryT：I agree with you，too.Well done.Thank you for your wonderful performance.Now，let’s see what we’ve done in this period.First，we’ve checked your homework about the attributive clause.Second，we practise listening.Third，we’ve talked about your hero/heroine.Of course，we’ve learned some useful expressions.After class，practise them more and preview the next part—reading.That’s all for today.See you.Step 7 HomeworkPreview the reading passage.●板书设计Unit 5 Nelson Mandela—a modern heroThe Fourth PeriodGood idea!I think/don’t think....That’s an excellent idea!I’m afraid....I agree/don’t agree.Why do you think so？I prefer....What do you think of...？In my opinion....What’s your opinion？●活动与探究Think about how often you do the following and write in the number that you think matches that frequency？On a scale from 1 to 5，give yourself a score as follows：1=never，2=rarely，3=sometimes，4=often，5=very often.●备课资料Qian XuesenChina has launched its first manned spacecraft，the Shenzhou V，Oct.15，becoming the third country to put a man into space，following the former Soviet Union and the United States.Today，we’ll bring you the story of Qian Xuesen （Chien Hsuch-Sen），“father of China’s aerospace” and“king of rockets”.Qian is one of the pioneers of China’s space science.A world-famous expert on aerospace rockets and aerodynamics.Qian has obtained great attainments in the areas of applied mechanics，engineering cybernetics and system engineering and made distinguished contributions to the foundation and development of Chinese aerospace undertaking.He plays a leading role in the research，manufacture and testing of carrier rockets，guided missiles and satellites.Due to research and development led by Qian，China successfully exploded its first atom bomb in 1964，launched its first man-made satellite in 1970，fired its first transcontinental ballistic missile toward the Pacific in 1980，and launched its first manned spacecraft on Oct.15，2003.With his ancestral home in Hangzhou，Jiangsu Province，Qian was born in Shanghai in 1911.Qian graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1934.One year later，he went to the U.S.and continue his studies in MIT （Massachusetts Institute of Technology），after receiving master’s degree in MIT，Qian went to study in California Institute of Technology.In 1939，Qian received Ph.D degrees of both aerospace and mathematics and left the school to be a teacher，as well as a researcher studying the applied mechanics and rocket and missile theories.In 1955，six years later after the founding of New China，Qian Xuesen returned to the motherland.He has served successively as director-general with the mechanics institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences，deputy director-general and director-general with the fifth research institute of the State Defense Ministry，deputy minister with State Ministry of The Seventh Machinery，deputy-director-general with the Commission of Science，Technology and Industry for National Defense，president with the 3rd China Association forScience and Technology，vice president with the 6th to the 10th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference （CPPCC）.Currently，Qian is the senior consultant with the Commission of Science and Technology of the General Equipment Ministry of the People’s Liberation Army，honorary president with China Association for Science and Technology.In 1956，Qian put forward “Proposal on the Development of China’s Aviation Industry for National Defense” and assisted Zhou Enlai，the then premiere，and Marshal Nie Rongzheng to prepare the establishment of China’s first missile and rocket R&D structure，the Fifth Research Institute of State Ministry of Defense.In the October of 1956，Qian assumed office of director-general with the fifth research institute.Henceforth，Qian has long been in charge of the chief technological officer with the R&D of China’s missile，rocket and spacecraft，and has contributed great to the establishment and development of China’s missile，rocket and spacecraft undertakings.11。
