人教版高中英语必修四Unit 1 Women of achievement grammar 主谓一致教学设计

Unit1 Women of achievement单元教案This unit stays focused on the topic: women. Six women with various national backgrounds are featured, and different aspects of their life are explored, like, their social position, contributions and hardships ;meanwhile, their achievements in a wide variety of fields are highly praised. Ss will know better the roles women play in social life, with their(esp. girl students’)self-esteem and sense of social responsibility boosted.Warming-up requires Ss to comment on the 6 women and give their opinions and reasons as well. This part connects Unit5,Module1.The rules concluded in the earlier unit can be applied here to identify great women. Ss should be encouraged to discuss what these women did for other people, and what problems they had to overcome or what they had to give up to achieve their ambition.Pre-reading is also a discussion but focused on Jane Goodall. The two questions raised here prompt Ss to think over the pros and cons of two approaches to scientific study(lab research & field research). Then, Ss are asked to predict the content based on the title and pictures.Reading-A Student of African Wildlife depicts a scenewhere Jane and her colleagues studied chimps in an African forest and explains the significance of their work and the achievements she reached. Despite the fact that it was a dirty and tiring job to do the field research in the wild, they all regarded it as worthwhile. Some of their valuable discoveries would not have been made in the lab;for the very reason Jane Goodall had chosen the primitive African forest to study in.Her years of observing and recording chimps’ daily activities attributed to a better understanding of their behaviour. She has argued that wild animals be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has endeavored to enhance people’s awareness of understanding, respecting and protecting wild animals. She is an inspiring role model !Comprehending consists of 4 Exx, guiding Ss to comprehend the reading passage at different levels. Exx1-3 are intended to aid Ss to obtain important details ,grasp paragraph main ideas and transfer text information in the form of multiple choice, summing-up and filling in a chart. The 4 open-ended Qs in Ex4 encourage Ss to think in oth ers’ shoes, which helps strengt hen Ss’ faith in animals protection.Learning about Language is to discover and practice usefulwords, expressions and structures. Discovering useful words and expressions is meant to help Ss to further study word formation, key words & phrases; Discovering useful structures centers on “subject-verb agreement”, determining the number of collective noun being the priority for the moment. Form-Meaning-Use approach is encouraged in grammar study.Using language is to train Ss’ in tegrating skills in listening, speaking , reading and writing. Reading features Lin Qiaozhi,a famed specialist in women disease, who achieved great success in her career with remarkable perseverance and efforts. She cared about women and mothers, esp. those living in poverty, and earned respect with her kindness and warn heart. Plus, she dedicated all her life to her patients and Chinese medical care. Ss are expected to learn about an outstanding woman’s life, and, more importantly, get enlightened when considering their future career choice.

Warming upWarming up by describingGood morning, class. Today we are going to read about A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. But first, I’d like to know if you have ever heard of women like Elizabeth Fry, Soong Chingling, Jane Goodall, Jody Williams, Joan of Arc and Lin Qiaozhi. Now turn to page 1, look at the photos, read the captions and describe to your neighbor the women in focus. Who is she? What is she? What did she do to benefit the world?Warming up by discussingHi, every one. How did you spend your winter vacation? Did you read any books? Did you read any women of achievement? What makes a woman of achievement? Now in pairs discuss the women on page one. Which of these women do you think is a great woman? Give reasons for your choice.Warming up by reading aloud and translatingNice to see you back at school, boys and girls. As you have all prepared lessons before class I shall ask six of you at random to read aloud and translate the captions under the photos on page one. Zhao Yanfei, would you try reading aloud and translating the first caption?Well done! Next let’s have Ju Xiaohong do the second one.Step II. Pre-reading1. Looking and sayingWork in pairs. Look at the photos and the title A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE and predict the contents of the text. When you are ready, join another pair and compare your predictions and the clues that helped you to make the predictions.(Key: From the photos and title I guess that the text tells about a woman scientist who is working in Africa to protect the wildlife there. She studies a family of chimps, delivers a speech on their behaviour, arguing for them to be left in the wild and protected. )2. Talking and sharingWork in groups of four. Tell your group mates what you know about wildlife protection. Then the group leader is to stand up and share your group idea with the class.(Key: I am from Group 3. We think that Jane is a woman of achievement. For she has helped people understand how much chimps behave like humans. Because of her we know that it is better for the animals to be left in the wild or in the special places set up for them. )Step III. Reading1. Reading aloud to the recordingNow please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence.I will play the tape twice and you shall read aloud twice, too.2. Reading and underliningNext you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.3. Reading to identify the topic sentence of each paragraphSkim the text and identify the topic sentence of each paragraph. You may find it either at the beginning, the middle or the end of the paragraph.(Key: 1st paragraph: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. 2nd paragraph: Nobody before has fully understood chimp behaviour. 3rd paragraph: For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.)4. Reading and transferring informationRead the text again to complete the table, which list what Jane does to protect African wildlife. What does Jane do?5. Reading and understanding difficult sentencesAs you have read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me the teacher.Step IV. Closing downClosing down by doing exercisesTo end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises No. 1 and 2. 2. Closing down by having a discussionDo you agree with Jane’s ideas? Why or why not?(Key: I agree with Jane’s idea, because le aving the animals in the wild is the only good way to protect them. The animals belong to the forest, just as we belong to the civilized world. ) What do you think is the best way to protect wildlife?(Key: I think the best way is to understand and respect the life of animals. Setting up special places where they can live safely is important and effective)Closing down by retelling the story of Jane GoodallI shall write some key words and expressions on the board. You are to retell the story of Jane Goodall according to these words.(Key: visit the chimps, watch the chimps, understand chimp behaviour, argue for…, set up special places)The second period Learning about LanguageAimsTo help students learn about subject-verb agreement.To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions.To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures.ProceduresStep I. Warming upWarming up by discovering useful words and expressionsTurn to page 4 and do exercises No. 1, 2 ,3 and 4 first. Check your answers against your classmates’.Step II. Learning about grammar1. Reading and thinkingTurn to page 2 and read with me the text of A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. As you read on, pay attention to the forms of sentence predicates and the subject-verb agreement shown in the sentences.(For reference: Our group are…, Watching a family of chimps is…, Nobody before has fully understood…)2. Doing exercises No. 1 and 2 on page 5Turn to page 5. Look at the two sentences: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. And Our group includes six boys and five girls. Have you noticed any difference between them? Yes. If the word “group ” refers to different members, use a plural verb. If the word “group” is considered as a whole, use a singular verb. Now fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs in brackets on page 5. And then go on to do Exercise No. 2 on the same page, that is, fill in the correct verb form in the letter.Step III. Ready used materials for Subject-verb agreementWe all know these meanings of "agree," but when we talk about subject-verb agreement, we're talking about something different: matching subjects and verbs according to number. That is, when you have a singular subject, you have to match it with a singular verb form: The boy plays. When you have a plural subject, you must have a plural verb form: The boys play.In short, simple sentences, you should have no problem with agreement. You can hear the problem: The boys plays. When it's wrong , it just sounds funny. However, there are four potential problem spots that you need to watch carefully:Reversed sentence orderThe normal pattern for English sentences is subject-verb. However, there are a few situations where this order is reversed (like this sentence):o There are snacks on the laundry-room table.o Where are they?o On the table are the goodies!See how the subject comes after the verb in each of these? If you can remember how to locate subjects and verbs, you shouldn't blunder into mistakes when writing reversed-order sentences."-body," "-one," and "-thing" wordsThe correct term for these words is indefinite pronouns, but if you remember them as "-body," "-one," and "-thing" words, you'll probably be able to spot them more easily. You only need to know one thing: if a word has one of these endings (like everybody, everyone, anyone, anything, etc.), it is always singular! You can also include each, either, and neither in this group. Look at the following:1. Everyone is going on a picnic.2. Each of the boys is taking his own lunch.3. If anyone drops something to eat, I'll grab it before he can pick it up.You shouldn't have problems with these if you simply memorize the endings of words that are always singular.NOTE: We said that either and neither are always singular; however, if you have two subjects in an either . . . or or neither . . . nor construction, getting the agreement right may give you fits. To get it right, just locate the subject closest to the verb and make the verb agree with it:o Either the mailman or the construction workers are causing Peggy to bark like crazy.o Neither the dogs down the street nor the one next door pays any attention.Compare this with the following:o Either the construction workers or the mailman is causing Peggy to bark like crazy.o Neither the one next door nor the dogs down the street pay any attention.IV. Closing down by doing a quizTo end the period you are going to take a quiz on subject-verb agreement.The third period Using Language(A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME)AimsTo help students read the passage A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME.To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing.ProceduresStep I. Warming upRead aloud to warm up: Let’s warm up by reading aloud to the recording of the text A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME.Step II. Guided reading1.
