牛津译林版高中英语选修八Skills building 1: completing a quizIn a quiz, we are usually asked to answer some questions. What should we do when we take a quiz and what steps we should take to make sure that we answer the questions correctly? Let’s read the guidelines and the three steps on our books. After that you will have a chance to complete a quiz about the film industry.Step 1: completing a quiz about the film industryThis part is designed to help you develop your listening skills. You will listen to two radio programmes discussing the early days of film, and then read a web page about film facts. You are expected to use all of the information to complete a film quiz. Before listening, you can look through the questions first.TapescriptHost: Today on History’s Greatest Inventions, we are discussing films, which were once called ‘moving pictures’!Guest: Well, that isn’t such a strange name. That’s what films are——moving pictures. What our eyes see as movements are really just the small differences between thousands of still photographs.Host: Really?Guest: Yes, every film is made of frames, and each frame is just a photograph. We first started viewing them as connected films back in the 1880s. William Friese-Green was the first man to record and then play back what we now think of as a film. He made his film in Hyde Park, London, and later watched it in his home. On the twenty-eighth of December eighteen ninety-five, two Frenchmen, the Lumière brothers, made a film and presented it to pay ing audiences. They are often considered the ‘fathers of the modern film industry’Host: These first films were not like the ones we see today, were they?Guest:No. One big difference is the speed of the filming—at first, cameras were operated by hand, and it was hard to keep the film moving at the same speed all the time. When we see these old films today, the actors look like they are moving too fast. Another big difference is that old films had no sound. We now refer to them as silent films. When people went to see them, there would be a piano player, or even an orchestra in the theatre to provide music. The first ‘talking film’ or film with sound was shown in New York in nineteen twenty-seven. It was called The Jazz Singer. The first words ever heard in a film were, ‘wait a minute. Wait a minute. You ain’t heard nothin’yet.’ Audiences were so excited they even stood up in the theatre and applauded!One other thing you will notice if you watch an older film is that they were all in3. Listen to another radio programme in Part B. This time you will listen to some information about Hollywood, and you can use the information to answer some of the remaining questions onafter listening to the recording in this part.This part is designed to help you pay attention to the words or information emphasized in a question to answer it exactly. In the Grammar and usage section of this unit, we learnt how to emphasize some parts of sentences by adding some words or using certain sentence structures. Are there any other ways that we can emphasize some words or information, especially when we are speaking? Sometimes we stress the words we want to emphasize. Now let’s go over Skills building 2.Step 2: asking and answering questions about Chinese filmsIn this part, you should work in pairs to conduct an interview about Chinese films. You are expected to practice the speaking skills you have learnt in Skills building 2.1. Go over the instructions so that you know what to do in Step2. Then read all the questions and answers and make sure that you know what you are going to do.2. Work in pairs to do this role-play activity, asking and answering questions about Chinese films. When asking questions, you should emphasize the words in bold. The student who is answering questions should repeat the emphasized words. After you finish asking and answering these questions, you should switch roles. In this way, every one of you will have a chance to practiceSkills building 3: using information from more than one sourceIn this part, you will learn what you need to do to prepare the information for a speech or an essay competition.T: What will you do before you attend a speech or an essay competition? Give as many answers as you can.S1: know what the subject of the competition isS2: find out different aspects of the subject and write the draftS3: do research on the aspects that you do not knowT: Review what you have learnt about the film industry in Steps 1 and 2. List the information you have already obtained, and think about what else you will need in making the speech or writing the essay for the competition. For example:● The information I have already got:the first film-maker/ fathers of modern film;where the first film was made;the first studio in Hollywood;the title of the first ‘talking film’;the title of the first film made in China;the differences between old and modern films● The information I need to do r esearch on:the titles of the best films in some famous film festivals this year;some famous actors/ actresses in Hollywood/ ChinaStep 3: writing a speech about the film industryNow you are required to write a speech using information gathered in the previous steps.

单元:Unit 1 The written world板块:Task 1Thoughts on the design:本节课是以听和写为主的语言综合技能训练课,以学习写文学评论为话题,分两部分进行教学。
教师在教学中要给予学生充分的听和读的时间。

Teaching aims:In this part, students will learn to listen carefully for key words. Students will first learn some useful skills to li sten for key word s and then put them into practice to listen for key words in a talk about how to write a review. Then students will make notes for their review on their own and check answers through another listening activity.Teaching procedures:Step 1 Lead-inAsk students to read the instruction for skills building 1 and find out the key words to finish the follo wing summary.In order to _______________ about something, we often use key words, which are the most important words in a sentence or a paragraph.Key words are often ________, ________, or ___________ with a _______ before them.Answers:give useful hints; stressed; repeated; summariz ed; pauseNow, listen to me and take notes of key words in my speech.Just as a proverb says, ‘life is filled with twists and turns.’ One can’t gain any success if he or she never experiences difficulty and failure. In other words, trouble exists from beginning to end during our lifetime. Students may fail in their exams, scientists may fail in their experiments, and players may be defeated in their matches.Now, let’s read out the paragraph together and check our answers.

Unit 1 The written word Grammar 教学案Step 1: General introductionThe grammar items in this unit focus on negative statements. You are expected to understand the meanings of negative statements. You will also learn the ways to make a negative statement. Then you may apply what you have learnt to practical use by finishing two exercises.Step 2: ExercisesTurn the following into negative statements.1. They are listening to pop music now.________________________________2. Many people can speak English nowadays._________________________________3. You must make your bed after you get up every day._______________________________________________4. His mother has a beautiful car.________________________________________________5. We need a pen and piece of paper.________________________________________________6. I need wear a warm coat._________________________________________________7. The old man always goes for a walk in the park after supper._______________________________________________8. The doctors volunteer in the countryside every year._________________________________________9. Mike does sports in the afternoon.________________________________10. You’d better talk with your parents right now.___________________________________Step 3: Explanation and practice1. Make a list of the most commonly used negative words:no,not,never,neither,hardly,seldom,few,little,barely…2. Please decide whether it is a true statement: John Keats was a famous short story writer.This statement is untrue. We can correct an untrue statement in the following way:John Keats was not a famous short story writer.3. As we learned,negative statements are often used to correct a mistaken idea. Let’s recall the ways to make negative statements.4. Read Part 1 and Part 2. When not is used with a negative prefix,the meaning of the sentence is positive. However,the positive meaning is not as strong as that of a direct positive statement. For example:Students are not discouraged to discuss things with their classmates. (Students are encouraged to discuss things with their classmates.)Your actions were not inexcusable,but they were certainly not appropriate. (Your actions were excusable,but certainly not appropriate.)It is not uncommon for him to be late. (It is very common for him to be late.)not can be used before a phrase of time,distance or a noun phrase to emphasize the negative。
