theme parks.look at the screen and listen to me telling you about them.this is the universal's islands of adventure which was opened in 11019, making universal orlando the nation's second multi-gate theme park resort (after walt disney world).ioa was universal's first non-studio theme park, and was intended to pay tribute to characters from books, comics, cartoons and legend, rather than movies.of course, that hasn't stopped universal and other studios from making films about almost every character represented in ioa over the past few years, rendering the park thematically indistinguishable from its sister, universal studios florida.warming up telling experiencesnice to see you again, boys and girls.as you have all travelled somewhere before i shall ask two of you at random to tell the class about their travel experiences.(for reference: visiting disney world was a childhood dream of mine, and i was able to realise it last year.i plan to keep going back, even given the overt commercialism.it is not a place i could live in, but it definitely has magic.one of the best parts was that i was able to interact with most of the disney characters, even though their appearance and mannerisms varied from the disney comic books i read.a few select pictures are included here, but my recommendation if you're taking a kid is to make sure they get some time with the characters.i can't think of anything cooler.)ii.pre-readinglooking and sayingwork in pairs.look at the photos and theme parks and predict the contents of the text.when you are ready, join another pair

with the class.boating lakepedaloe boats on our boating lake with views of megafobia.suitable for up to five people.(for reference: as you wander down mainstreet usa in the magic kingdom park of walt disney world, you might stop and take a peek in the mainstreet theatre.here, steamboat willie shows how it all began depicting the first appearance of mickey mouse.at this point people usually stop for a bit, perhaps to rest from the hot florida summer, laugh at mickey's antics as he uses various animals as musical instruments (long before beavis and butthead were throwing cats in drying machines), and walk away amused and entertained.that was walt disney's primary goal.today, peoplemight consider the first cartoon featuring mickey as art, along with a host of other creative works produced by people who work at disney.notable among them are carl barks and don rosa, whose works sell in the thousands.however, walt disney himself never thought that what he, and his employees, did was art: "i don't pretend to know anything about art.i make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean." )iii.readingreading aloud to the recordingnow please listen and

differ from ordinary amusement parks? national amusement park history association defines a theme park as "an amusement park in which the rides, attractions, shows and buildings revolve around a central theme or group of themes.examples include the disney parks, the sixflags parks and the paramount parks." an amusement park, according to napha, is "an entertainment facility featuring rides, games, food and sometimes shows." the world of coasters’glossary defines a theme park as "an amusement park which has one or more "themed" areas, with rides and attractions keyed to the theme of their location within the park.disneyland, knotts berry farm, and busch gardens williamsburg are examples of theme parks." )。

Step 4 Language Focus T:You are really improving in learning co-operatively!We still have some time,so let’s see how some of the useful words and expressions are used in the passage. 1.What do you suppose a theme park is? “Suppose” in this sentence means “to consider as possible;to believe;imagine;assume”.For example: What do you suppose he wanted? Everybody supposes him (to be) poor,but he is quite wealthy. 2.Though parks share this basic purpose,they find various ways to meet this need. “Various” is an adjective,and means “different;several,a number of”.For example: There are various ways of cooking eggs. Shenzhen is filled with people from various parts of China. 3.They all charge money for admission,and for the rides and shows in the park. In this sentence,“charge” means ask in payment.For example: The hotel charged me $30 for a r oom for the night. The railway charges half-price for university students. 4.Theme parks have a certain idea—a certain theme—that the whole park is based on. Here the phrase “base sth.on/upon...”means “use sth. as grounds,evidence,etc.for sth.else”.For example: One should always base one’s opinions on facts. The film is based on a novel by wrence. 5.Its purpose is to involve visitors in physical exercise and athletic competition. “Involve” here has the meaning of becoming connected or concerned.For example: Don’t involve other people in your trouble. I got involved in the quarrel between Joan and Mary. Step 5 Homework T:So much for today.Thank you for your good performance and co-operation!Now it’s homework for you today. 1.Write a summary of the reading passage using the key words. 2.Preview the Learning about language part. 3.Find and learn the beautiful sentences you like in the reading passage by heart.The Design of the Writing on the Blackboard Unit 5 Theme parksPeriod 1 Warming up & Reading 1.List of famous parks 2.Reading about theme parks *General ideas *Main ideas of each paragraph *Understanding of the title *Purposes for building theme parks nguage focusRecord after Teaching5Activities and Research “My Own Theme Park” Competition Suppose “My Own Theme Park” Competition is going to be held in your class,and you are required to work with your group mates and create your own particular theme park to join in the competition. —Surf the Internet to find out what kind of theme parks have been set up in the world,so that you can design your particular theme park. —Have a discussion to make a decision what kind of theme park you are going to create. —Make a map of the area and mark places of interest including activities,shows,demonstrations,etc. —Make s poster to tell everyone about your theme park.Try to use the following expressions: The main theme in our park is...

本文阅读部分围绕“主题公园(Themeparks)”这一主题展开，共分为四个段落，第一段是关于主题公园的种类和特色的一般介绍，二、三、四段分别介绍三个不同特色的主题公园：以梦幻乐园为特色的迪斯尼乐园(Disneyland)，以美国东南部地区文化为特色的多莱坞公园和以中世纪英国亚瑟王宫廷时期历史为特色的卡默洛特公园。

三个主题公园都体现了“娱乐不仅仅是娱乐”(Fun and more than fun)的中心思想。
