Unit 3 Computer 教学案Part One: Teaching Design (第一部分:教学设计)Period 1: A sample lesson plan for reading(WHO AM I?)AimsTo talk about computerTo read about computerProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by talking about computerLook at the pictures on page 17. What are they?What do they have in common?Yes,they are computers. Then what is a computer?A computer is a machine which stores knowledge in its memory and does calculations on that knowledge. This knowledge is stored in symbols;it is called data. A computer usually has a monitor to show results. However,some computers can speak;these computers can be used for voice mail.计算机室A computer frequently requires a boot device. The boot device contains the computer’s operating system and data. Computer programs can be installed onto a computer. Some people think that computers are less useful if they do not have access to the Internet. They think this because the Internet allows the computers to send and receive data and email across the world.曙光3000巨型计算机A computer is now almost always an electronic device. It usually contains materials which are toxic;these materials will become toxic waste when disposed of. When a new computer is purchased in some places,laws require that the cost of its waste management must also be paid for. This is called product stewardship.In some countries old computers are recycled (melted down) to get gold and other metals. This is dangerous,because this procedure releases the toxic waste into the water and soil.Computers become obsolete quickly. Very often they are given away and new ones replace them within two or three years. This makes the problem worse. Computer recycling is thus common. Many projects try to send working computers to developing nations so they can be re-used and will not become waste as quickly.Computer jargon 计算机行话Computer jargon means words to do with computers and surrounding topics. Knowing what these words mean can help you know more about computers. Some people use these words to impress other people (Also known as buzzwords).Examples of jargon:Bit - The smallest data unit,can either be a “0.” or a “1.”.Byte - unit of data. See also Kilobyte,Megabyte,Gigabyte and NibbleCPU –Central Processing Unit,Another name for processorData - Information stored on a computerDisk - A place to store data.Email - Electronic mail.GHz - Gigahertz. Used often incorrectly to describe the speed of a processor. But with some 2.4 GHz processors faster than 3.6 GHz ones,it is clear that it is just a salesman trick.Load - Get data from a diskNibble - Half a ByteSave - Put data on a diskRAM – random-access memory(随机存取存储器),the more the better.USB - Universal Serial Bus(通用串行总线,一种简化了插接多种附件的薄型插座)WWW - World Wide Web,part of the InternetII. Pre-reading1. Questioning and answering---What do you know about computer?●Electronic machine capable of performing calculations and other manipulations of various types of data,under the control of a stored set of instructions. The machine itself is the hardware;the instructions are the program or software. Depending upon size,computers are called mainframes,minicomputers,and microcomputers. Microcomputers include desk-top and portable personal computers.●A multi-function electronic device that can execute instructions to perform a task.●A device that accepts information,processes it,and supplies an output. A computer usually contains memory,a control unit,arithmetic and logical units,and a means for input and output.●a programmable hardware component that is controlled by internally stored programs and that can perform substantial computations (including arithmetic and logic operations) without human intervention. A computer typically consists of one or more processing units,memory units,and associated peripheral input and output devices.●Related to automation and electronic data processing. The Library of Congress commonly classes most computer-related books in HF5548,QA75-76,Z52,T385,and some TK ranges.●a machine for performing calculations automaticallycalculator: an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)●A computer is a device or machine for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms. Computers are constructed from components that perform simple well-defined functions. The complex interactions of these components endow computers with the ability to process information. If correctly configured (usually by,programming) a computer can be made to represent some aspect of a problem or part of a system. If a computer configured in this way is give2. Discussing and sharing---How have computers changed our lives?Someday soon,if y ou haven’t already,you’re likely to plug into the computer network nation growing in our midst. Computer terminals,or small computers connected via modem (a modulator/demodulator circuit for encoding/decoding computer chatter) to ordinary telephone lines,should be as ubiquitous as the telephone itself. They’re a much more useful and humane tool than the phone,and with corporate America behind them the networks will be everywhere----changing our lives more than any technology since the automobile.Joining a computer network is the same as joining a community. Small systems are like villages,where new members are formally welcomed. The larger networks,the Source and CompuServe,for example,are cities-anonymous,full of life and events,but difficult to fit into.III. Reading1. Listening and reading to the recording of the text WHO AM I?Turn to page 18 and listen and read to the recording of the text. Pay attention to the pauses,pronunciation and intonation of the native reader.2. Reading aloud and underlining expressionsNow we are to read the text once again and underline all theexpressions in the text. Put them down into your notebook after class ashomework.Collocations from WHO AM I?begin as…,a calculating machine,be built as…,follow instructionsfrom…,sound simple,at the time,a technological revolution,write a book,make…work,solve problems,become huge,had artificial intelligence,go back to…,the size of…,go by,change size,become small and thin,get quick,stand there by oneself,be connected by…,share information by…,talk to…,bring…into…,deal with…,communicate with…,serve the human race3. Reading,identifying and settlingAttention,please!It is time to skim the text one more time and identify the difficult sentences. Try analyzing the structures of the difficult sentences and discuss them among your group members. You may also put your questions to me for help.Chat (online)(在线)聊天To chat is to talk about ordinary things that are not very important. You can chat to one person or to many people. People also use this word now for parts of the Internet where we can talk with many different people at the same time. Usually,you chat on the internet in a chat roomor messaging service like AOL(American On-Line) Instant Messenger (AIM),Yahoo Messenger,or MSN Messenger.4. Reading and transferringScan the text for information to complete the table below,describing the development of computer.In 1642In 1822In 1936In 1960sIn 1970sIV. Closing down by doing comprehending exercisesTurn to page 18 and in pairs do the comprehending exercises No. 1 and 2.Period 2: A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language(The Present Perfect Passive V oice)AimsTo learn to use The Present Perfect Passive V oiceTo discover useful words and expressionTo discover useful structuresProceduresI. Warming up by reading to the tapeTo begin with,turn to page 18,listening to and reading to the recording of the text WHO AM I?Attention goes to the pauses and intonation,as well as the pronunciation of the reader.II.

Warming up by talking about ITWhat is Information technology?Information technology (IT) or information and communication technology (ICT) is the technology required for information processing. In particular the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert,store,protect,process,transmit,and retrieve information from anywhere,anytime.II. Listening and writingTurn to page 21. Look at the pictures and listen to a conversation about different kinds of information technology or IT,discuss and write down in groups the advantages and disadvantages of each kind.III. Speaking and writingSuppose you and your partner are going to help choose computers for your school. Now talk about the special things each of the computer can do and write a report to your headmaster.IV. Reading,underlining and speakingIt is said that computers could be put into androids or robots. Read the text Andy—The Android,underlining all the expressions and think of the fun you could have!Expressions from Andy—The Androidpart of a football team,once a year,get together,play a football game,be as…as…,in fat,look like...,on the football team,run fast,think like a human,shout to (i)computer language,have a good shot for a goal,get second place,win the first place,have a new kind of program,improve one’s intelligence,create a better system,play against a human team,in a way,program…with…,make up…,after all,with the help of…V. Writing a letterSuppose you are an android. What would say to a spoiled child who would not do his homework?Write a letter to the boy.AndroidAn android is an artificially created being that resembles a human being. The word derives from Greek Andr- ‘man,human’ and the suffix-eides used to mean ‘of the species,kind,alike’ (from eidos ‘species’).The word droid,a robot in the Star Wars universe,is derived from this meaning. Some people maintain that,etymologically,the word android means resembling a male human and that a robot resembling a woman should logically be called a gynoid for sexist language to be avoided;however,this word is not commonly used.Unlike the terms robot (a mechanical being) and cyborg (a being that is partly organic and partly mechanical),the word android has been used in literature and other media to denote several different kinds of man-made,autonomous creations:a robot that closely resembles a humana cyborg that closely resembles a humanan artificially created,yet primarily organic,being that closely resembles a humanAlthough essentially human morphology is not the ideal form for working robots,the fascination in developing robots that can mimic it can be found historically in the assimilation of two concepts: simulacra (devices that exhibit likeness) and automata (devices that have independence).The termandroid was first used by the French author Mathias Villiers de l'Isle-Adam(1838-1889) in his work Tomorrow’s Eve,featuring a man-made human-like robot named Hadaly. As said by the officer in the story,“In this age of Realien advancement,who knows what goes on in the mind of those responsible for these mechanical dolls.”Part Two: Teaching Resources (第二部分:教学资源)Section 1: A text structure analysis of WHO AM I?I. Type of writing and summary of WHO AM I?Type of writing This is a piece of narrative writing.Main idea of the passage Beginning as just a calculating machine in 1642 inFrance,the computer has been experiencingimprovement again and over again over 300years ormore,which has not only made it more beautiful andintelligent but also changed man’s life a great deal!Topic sentence of 1stparagraphI began as a calculating machine in 1642 in France.Topic sentence of 2nd paragraphNo one could recognize me after I got my new transistors in the 1960s.II. A chain of events showing the development of computera calculating machine in 1642 in France → an Analytical Machine in 1822 → a “universal machine.” in 1936 → the size of a large room → made smaller and smaller → getting new transistors in 1960s→ clever and quicker → a network in the early 1960s → talking to humans using BASIC in the early 1960s → brought into people’s homes in 1970s → Internet III. A retold version of the text WHO AM I?I,the computer,was a calculating machine in 1642 in France. Then Iwas built as an Analytical Machine in 1822,which was a technological revolution. I became a “universal machine” in 1936 to solve any mathematical problem. I was not very big at first then I became huge,the size of a large room before I was made smaller and smaller.Getting new transistors in 1960s I became clever and quicker. I was connected with other computers and turned out to part of a network in the early 1960s. Then I began talking to humans using BASIC in the early 1960s. In 1970s I was brought into people’s homes,and came the Internet.Section 2: Background information computersI. How Do Computers Work?Computer BasicsTo accomplish a task using a computer,you need a combination of hardware,software,and input.Hardware consists of devices,like the computer itself,the monitor,keyboard,printer,mouse and speakers. Inside yourcomputer there are more bits ofhardware,including themotherboard,where you wouldfind the main processing chipsthat make up the centralprocessing unit (CPU). Thehardware processes thecommands it receives from thesoftware,and performs tasks or calculations.Software is the name given to the programs that you install on the computer to perform certain types of activities. There is operating system software,such as theApple OS for a Macintosh,or Windows 95 or Windows 98 for a PC.There is also application software,like the games we play or the tools weuse to compose letters or do math problems.You provide the input. When you type a command or click on an icon,you are telling the computer what to do. That is called input.How They Work TogetherFirst,you provide input when you turn on the computer. Then the system software tells the CPU to start up certain programs and to turn on some hardware devicesso that they are ready for more input from you. This whole process iscalled booting up.The next step happens when you choose a program you want to use.You click on the icon or enter a command to start the program. Let’s usethe example of an Internet browser. Once the program has started,it is ready for your instructions. You either enter an address (called a URL,which stands for Uniform Resource Locator),or click on an address you’ve saved already. In either case,the computer now knows what you want it to do. The browser software then goes out to find that address,starting up other hardware devices,such as a modem,when it needs them. If it is able to find the correct address,the browser will then tell your computer to send the information from the web page over the phone wire or cable to your computer. Eventually,you see the web site you were looking for.If you decide you want to print the page,you click on the printer icon. Again,you haveprovided input to tell the computer what to do. The browsersoftware determines whether you have a printer attached to yourcomputer,and whether it is turned on. It may remind you to turnon the printer,then send the information about the web page from your computer over the cable to the printer,where it is printed out.II. TelevisionOld portable televisionA television (also TV or telly) is a device (tool) with a screen that receives broadcast signals and turns them into pictures and sound. The word “television” comes from the words tele (Greek for far away) and vision (seeing).Usually a TV looks like a box. Older TVs had large wooden frames andsat on the floor like furniture. Newer TVs became smaller so they could fiton shelves,or even portable so you could take it with you wherever youwent. The smallest TVs can fit in your hand. The largest TVs can take up awhole wall in your house,and may sit on the floor,or be just a large flat screen that can be mounted on the wall. Many TVs are now made in wide screen shape like movie theatre screens,rather than old,more square TVs.A television has an antenna (or aerial),or it has a cable. This gets the signal from the air,or cable provider. TVs can also show movies from DVD players or VCRs. TVs can be connected to computers and game consoles,usually through a kind of socket called “SCART”.III. Web or World Wide WebThe World Wide Web is the part of the Internet that contains web sites and web pages.It is not used to describe WebPages that are used offline where net services are not available,or no computer network exists - such as Wikipedia on CD. In this case no real physical site exists other than the place where the computer is. Blog and Wiki capabilities will also not be available because these require a communication with other computers.IV. RadioRadio is a communications invention. Though originally used to communicate between two people,it is now used to listen to music,news,and people talking. Radio shows were the predecessor to TV programs.V. DVDDVD most commonly stands for “digital versatile disk”. It can playvideo that is of a higher quality than a VHS tape.VI. Two kinds of DVDThey can also hold 4.7 GB of information as opposed to the 700 MB that a CD can hold. A plus of using a DVD for a video is the ability to have interactive menus and bonus features such as deleted scenes and commentaries.VII. EmailEmail (electronic mail) is a message,usually text,sent from one Internet user to another. Email is quicker than snail mail(mail) when sending over long distancesand is usually free. To send or receive an email,a computer with amodem and telephone line connected to the Internet,and an emailprogram are required. Email addresses are generally formated like this:login@server.(com or fr or org or uk or other).Some companies let you send and receive email for free from a website. Gmail,Hotmail and Yahoo!do this.VIII. HumanHere are two humans.A man is on the left and a woman is on the right. A human or human being is a person,like you. A male human is a man,a female human is a woman. If you think about all humans in the whole world,they are called humanity. In the past,people have also used man and mankind to mean all humans.Humans are called Homo sapiens by scientists. Humans are an animal species that belongs to the group called primates. Monkeys are primates too,but the primates most like people are gorillas and chimpanzees. Most scientists think that chimpanzees and humans came from a common ancestor by what is called evolution. Other animals even more like humans than chimpanzees once lived too,but they are now extinct.Human rights are those things that everyone deserves and the way they should be treated by other people.Section 3: Words and expressions from Unit 3 Computerscommonn. 1. an area of grassland with no fences which all people are free to use or a piece of open land for recreational use in an urban area (常用于专有名词中): Every Saturday Jean went riding on the village common. Harlow Common is very beautiful in winter.哈洛公园在冬天时风景很美。

2020-2021学年高中英语云南同步教案:Unit 3 Computer阅读(人教新课标必修2)
2022-2021学年高中英语云南同步教案:Unit 3 Computer阅读(人教新课标必修2)高中英语必修二Unit 3 Computers阅读课的教学设计一、教学设计思路本课设计以WHO AM I?为课堂教学材料,以同学现实生活为动身点和归宿点,以我国《标准》指导教学目标制定,以“5C”外语学习思想指导教学环节设计,旨在进展同学的语言实际运用力气。
本设计以同学中心,运用了图示理论,接受了pair work, group work, class work 等活动形式,串联成环,前后环环相扣,挂念同学理解课文,用自己的英语重新诠释课文,并初步具备学问迁移力气。
二、学习任务分析本单元的中心话题是“计算机”,内容涉及计算机的进展历史、计算机的应用等,其中还谈到包括计算机在内的几种信息技术的载体、智能计算机的制造等等。
不过,整个单元多以计算机为第一人称进行自白,这种拟人的手法使得文章谈起来妙趣横生,抽象的专业学问介绍起来也浅显易懂。
本主旨语篇WHO AM I ?以计算机的口吻自述其进展演化的历史以及计算机在当今世界各个领域的运用。
表达了计算机的进展变化之快以及在生活中用途之广。
三、学习者分析计算机这一话题虽然好玩,但本单元所选语言材料属于科普类说明文,内容较为抽样,文章中也不乏一些专业术语,对于高一同学来说有确定的难度。
目前,同学上课以interpersonal的沟通为主,而interpretative和presentational形式比重不够。
由于文化教学不够重视,同学的跨文化意识不高。
此外,同学跨学科学习的意识不够,语言和信息的双向促进关系的生疏不够。
对于比较策略主要运用在英汉汉英互译的语言层面,未进入文化比较和思维比较。
同学的课外语言活动环境不够丰富和重视程度不够,通常以词汇、语法和写作练习为主,缺乏真实的语言运用。
四、教学目标(1) Language Skills:1. Use “decision making” expressions like “I believe... in my opinion, etc” correctly.(activity 1)2. Develop their predicting and reorganizing skills.(activity 2,3,4,6)3. Write an 100-word passage on “My Robot Friend----Alice”(Task)(2) Language Knowledge:1. Reorganize and share their backgroud information of computers.(activity 1)2. Find and retell the grammar structure of the Present Perfect Passive Voice. (activ ity 5)(3) Emotions and Attitudes1. 通过争辩,能归纳和陈述网络给学校带来的影响;2. 通过辩论,能对外来网络布满奇异,激发自己的制造力的同时形成健康的网络使用态度和习惯。

高中英语必修二:Unit+3+Computers+教案1+
Unit 3 ComputersI. Teaching Material Analysis (教材分析):This text is an exposition on science, whose title WHO AM I? is so interesting that it can arouse students’ curiosity to read. Words and expressions in this text are too obscure to understand. We can use pictures and the context to guide students to understand. There are three paragraphs in this text, each of which has a clear topic sentence that gives the main idea of the paragraph, so students should be guided to pay attention to them. Unlike other expositions, this text is written in time order and the first person, which should be introduced to students as well.II. Students Analysis(学情分析):It is the first time that students have read an exposition on science in senior school. They are not familiar with this type of writing. In addition, difficult terms and dull content in this text make it boring for students to read. Therefore, it is very important to arouse their interests and gain their confidence in reading.III. Teaching Aims(教学目标):Knowledge aims(知识目标):1. Get the students to know the following new words and expressions in this text: calculating machine, universal machine, analytical machine, artificial, intelligence, PC(personal computer), tube, transistor, chip,application, finance, trade, mobile, rocket, network.2. Get the students to have a better understanding of the history and basic knowledge of computers.Ability aims(技能目标):1. Students can improve their reading ability by predicting, skimming and scanning.3. Students can find the topic sentence and supporting details of each paragraph.Emotional aims(情感目标):Get the students to be interested in learning computers and learn how to use computers correctly.IV. Teaching Important Points and Difficult Points(教学重难点): Important points(重点):1) Enable the students to better understand the text structure by the clues of time;2) Enable the students to find the topic sentence of each paragraph;3) Enable them to improve their reading ability by predicting, skimming and scanning;Difficult points(难点):1) Enable the students to have a clear mind about the topic sentence and the supporting details.2) Enable the students to explore, discuss and summarize the textstructure.V. Teaching Methods(教学方法):1. Task-based teaching and learning2. Cooperative learning3. DiscussionVI. Teaching Procedures(教学过程):Step one: lead-in(导入)To introduce the topic of this unit, ask the following questions:“What do you do in your spare time?”“Do you play games on computers?”Computers are very useful in our daily life.Step two: warming-up(热身)1)“Then in what other ways are computers used?”With this question, we can introduce some words which appear in the third paragraph: communication, trade, science and technology.2) Now that computers are important and useful in our life, then do you know “how computers developed?”It is very necessary that we ask students this question and then explain it to them. In this way, we can help students understand some difficult words which will hinder them from reading, and make them focus more on reading instead of on solving difficult words.From the above tasks, students have already been familiar with the textthey will read, and thus they may not be afraid to read it.Step three: predicting(预测)“Acco rding to the title and the two pictures on page 18, can you predict what will the text be about?”Before prediction, we can ask students to describe the two pictures, which can increase the efficiency of their predicting.Step four: skimming(略读)Ask students to skim the text and then answer the two questions:1) Who is the speaker?Based on prediction, this question is easy for Ss to answer.2) What is the main idea of the text?To simplify the question, I ask them to get the main idea in the following way:The text is about the ________ and the __________of computers. These two questions can help students have a general understanding about the text.Step five : scanning(扫读)Scan the text by listening to the tape and then finish the timeline:In 1642 calculating machineIn 1882 analytical machineIn 1936 universal machineIn the 1940s as large as a roomIn the 1960s connected by a networkIn the 1970s new applicationsNow computers connect people all over the worldFrom this question, students can have a detailed understanding about the text and it will help students clearly find that the text is written in time order.Step six: careful-reading(细读)1) Please read the text for a third time and then find the topic sentence of each paragraph.First read paragraph one in two minutes and find its topic sentence.Students have known how to find a topic sentence of a paragraph, however, they still have no idea about the relationship between topic sentence and supportive sentences in a paragraph. For paragraph one, I will give guidance, and para.2 and 3 can be left to them.2) Now it’s your turn to finish para.2 and 3 in three minutes. After that, have a discussion in groups of four to exchange your ideas.By cooperative discussion, students who have known the topic sentence and supportive sentences may help those who do not know. Step seven: post-reading(读后)The above reading activities are all about input, and now it is high time they should output what they have learned in this text. So I designed a retelling as follows:1) Over time I have been ______ quite a lot. I began as a __________machine in 1642. In 1882 I was built as an _________ machine and then in 1936 Alan Turing wrote a book about how I could be made to be a _________ machine. These changes only became possible as my _______ improved.

Ability goals 能力目标Enable students to learn about the development and history of computers.3. Learning ability goals 学能目标By finishing the timeline and the chart, help students grasp the basic structure and main idea of the passage.Teaching important and difficult points 教学重难点Understand how details are used to support topic sentences.Teaching methods 教学方法Prediction, scanning and discussion.Teaching aids 教具准备Projector and tape recorder.Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式Step I Warming-upT: How many of you have computers in your home? Please put up your hands.Ss respond accordingly.T: What do you usually do on your computers?Ss: Type documents/homework, listen to music, watch videos, play games, search on the Internet, send mails …T: When I were at your age, I knew nothing about computers. Most Chinese families never heard about it. However, in recent years, computers have become more and more popular, and most families in cities have one or more than one computer intheir home. And some families in villages also have their own computers.Computers make life more convenient and colorful. However, it took a long time for humans to have computers that we see today. Now look at the pictures on page17 and discuss what they have in common. Then think about Questions 2 & 3. Suggested answers:1.These pictures are all technological inventions.2.From these pictures, we know computers have experienced a long developmentprocess, and the development will never stop.3.(There may be various answers.)Step II Pre-readingPredictionLet students predict the content of the passage according to the pictures and the title. This will involve students in active thinking and exploring.Then let them make a list of the ways computers are used today.Sample list:date processingindustrial designlearning and teaching aidsTV program editingentertainment (watch TV/video, listen to music, play games, online chat…) communication (e-mail, e-card, instant message)…T: Now look at the inventions in activity 3. First check their meanings in your dictionaries. Then put them in the order according to the time when they appeared. Help students understand the meanings of the words: analytical, calculate and universal.Note:Universal machine is also known as Alan Turing's “universal computing machine”, is capable of computing any algorithm.Students may have different answers. They will check it after reading the passage.T: Have you put them in the right order? You will find it after reading the passage. Now turn to page 18 please.Step III ReadingSkimmingGet students read the whole passage and try to get the main idea of it.After readingT: What does “I” in the title refer to?Ss: Computer.T: What is the main idea of the passage?Ss: The passage is mainly about the history and development of computers. ScanningT: Correct! Now read the passage and finish the timeline. With this timeline, you will have a clear idea of the development of computer.Check the answers.T: The passage has three paragraphs. Find out the topic sentence of each paragraph, and the details that are used to support the topic sentences. Then complete the chart in activity 2.Suggested answers:T: From this chart, you will know the basic structure of this passage. As you may have found the topic sentences are not standing there alone, they are supported with details and date, which make the topic sentences more convincing. Now I will play the tape of this passage. Listen and find out/underline the difficult words and expressions.Teacher gives some explanations.T: What can be “over time” replaced by?Ss: As time goes by.T: How do you understand the word “simplify”? Look! (on the board: simple+-ify). -ify is a suffix which means to turn into, make or become. For example, beautify. So if you know the meaning of “simple”, you can easily get the meaning of “simplify”. Who can tell me its meaning?S: To make something easier or less complicated.T: What does “it” in line 9 refer to?Ss: It refers to the fact that computer was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes.T: Why was Alan Turing called computer’s real father?S: I guess that’s because Alan made computer more powerful, which could solve any difficult mathematical problem.T: What does “this reality” in line 15 refer to?S: It refers to the reality that computer had grown as large as a room.T: In paragraph two, there are two sentences which contain the use of “so…that…”structure. Underline them and study carefully.Show the following on the screen/board:●Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I neverforget anything I have been told!And my memory became so large that even I couldn’t believe it!Help students sum up the form and function of this structure:Form:so + adj./adv. + that + clauseFunction:This structure is used when emphasizing the degree or amount of something by saying what the result is.Step IV DiscussionDeal with activity 3 on page 19. Let students discuss how computers have changed our lives?Sample discussion:S1: I think it’s impossible to live without computers!S2: What makes you say that? My grandparents didn’t use a computer and they were still able to entertain themselves, to operate big machines, to analyze data, to make robots and so on.S1: You are right. But computers do change the way we live. They change the way we learn by providing distance-learning programs. They change the way wecommunicate with the use of e-mail and instant messenger. They change the way we obtain information with Internet search engine such as Google and Baidu.They change the way we deal with documents and pictures.S2: I agree. Can you imagine what our life would be like If we could not use computers any more?S2: We would go back to the world when everything goes slowly. For example, send mails via train or air plane, which takes several days or even long; go to libraries to search for information, where limited information are provided; spend long time to solve difficult mathematical problems etc. And on the other hand, we may have more time for outdoor activities instead of spending much time on computer. S1: Yes, computers changed our lives both in a good way and in a bad way. It depends on how we make use of it. I hope we can make good use if it.T: Do you want to see how cyber friends answer this question? Look at the screen. Show the following on the screen or let students visit the web page:(One the screen)User 1Computers have made it easier for us to access a wealth of information and have all but rendered printer encyclopedias obsolete. They have also made it easier and cheaper to advertise our business anywhere we wish and do business with anyone anywhere in the world. On the downside however, computers have also made it easier for sexual predators to find victims, for criminals to steal our hard-earned money, and to even steal our identity, something nearly unheard of just a few decades ago. Also, children are more likely to sit in front of a computer and chat when they could just as easily speak with their friends on a telephone or go outside and play like children used to before the "computer revolution". As with any new technology, there are good and bad points, but in the end the general public through their actions will determine whether or not computers have actually improved our lives.User 2Of course!!!!! They have changed the way we shop, play, chat, work and more.User 3They have made us a lazy generation.User 4A computer has changed my life certainly even still at a very young age. It's fulfilled my dreams, knowledge and much more. For some it's gained them employment and giving others something to do. It's opened a new world of gaming, chatting and finding advice and information. I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT ONE!User 5Well, they made our lives easier, the made us lazier and they gave us the chance to have some adventure when we are bored.User 6Majority of "addicted" computer users lack "real life" social skills these days.User 7They hurt my eyes.User 8Computers change our attitudes, the way we live, the way we express ourselves, the way we are too others, views on life, views overall, how we dress, what we listen too, what we think of one another, how we work, interests. Basically everything without computers we wouldn’t have the internet and like newspapers radios magazines and television we get these all on the internet. These change how we are so basically everything about it. Also we get addicted and learn about things that maybe we shouldn’t. Also can get into trouble e.g. downloading, piracy all done with a computer. Good things are that computers have helped reach forward into the future.Helps with technology, education and will help the future generations. Soon everything will be run by computers the good thing for us is we don’t have to lift a finger the bad thing is will computers take over.Step V Homework (retelling)T: Suppose you work for an information technology magazine. Write a short passage which briefly introduces the history and development of computers. Don’t write in the first person.The Second Period Language studyTeaching goals 教学目标1. Target language 目标语言a. 重点词汇和短语revolution network simplify sum mobile solve explore totally anyhow finance artificial technology intelligent application Webreality logicallyb. 重点句子As time had gone by, I have been made smaller and smaller.I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told!Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me.I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as helpwith medical operations.I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars.2. Ability goals 能力目标Enable students to learn the meanings and use of some key words in the reading passage.Enable students to learn the form and function of present perfect passive voice.3. Learning ability goals 学能目标By writing a poem using present perfect passive voice, enable students to use the structure freely and creatively.Teaching important and difficult points 教学重难点How to change the sentences into the present perfect passive voice.Teaching methods 教学方法Personalization, Induction and imitation.Teaching aids 教具准备Projector and tape recorder.Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式Step I RevisionCheck the homework. Ask two students to read the passage they have written. Their passage should be brief and include the key information or facts about the development of computers.Step II Discovering useful words and expressionsT: Look at activity 1. These are the meanings of some words or expressions in the text we learned yesterday. Find out these words or expressions.Check the answers.T: Now look at the words in activity 2. Do you know their meanings? Check their meanings in your dictionaries. Then complete the passage with the words.Check the answers.T: Now activity 3. Look at the phrases in bold in the story. What do they have in common?S: They are all time phrases except “as a result”. They are used in the passage toindicate the development of the story. From them, we get a clear timeline of the story.T: Correct! Now use these phrases to create one of your own stories. The story can be a real one or an imaginary one.After they finish writing, let students exchange their stories and proofread for each other.Step III Discovering useful structuresLet students find sentences in the present perfect passive voice in the text and then analyze their form and function. (Activity 1 on page 21.)Students may find the following sentences:1. I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.2. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told!3. Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me.4. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations.5. I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Then let students study these sentences carefully and sum up the form of present perfect passive voice tense.Elicit the structure: S + have/has + been + V-edT: Why is the passive voice used here? When do we usually use passive voice?Ss: …T: The passive voice is used when the subject of a sentence is the person or thing affected by the action of the sentence. We particular use the passive voice when don’t know or aren’t bothered exactly who has done something. Now look at activity 2. Change the sentences into the present perfect passive voice. Pay attention to the use of has/have. When do we use has and when do we use have? Ss: We use has when the recipient of the action is the third person single or single nouns. We use have when the recipient of the action is the first or second person or plural nouns.After students finish, check the answers.T: Now write passive sentences in Present Perfect according to the words given. Show the following on the screen.1 the postcard / send __________________________2 the pencils / count ___________________________3 the door / close _____________________________4 the beds / make _____________________________5 the mail / write _____________________________6 the trees / plant _____________________________7 the money / spend ___________________________8 the room / book / not _________________________9 the rent / pay / not ___________________________10 the people / inform / not _______________________Answers:1 The postcard has been sent.2 The pencils have been counted.3 The door has been closed.4 The beds have been made.5 The mail has been written.6 The trees have been planted.7 The money has been spent.8 The room has not been booked.9 The rent has not been paid.10 The people have not been informed.Then deal with activity 3.T: Read the poem. Underline the use of the present perfect passive voice. Then decide which things have been done well and which have been done badly. Guess what might have happened to the face, hair and shoes and what might have happened to the flowers, grass and paths. You can get cues from the examples.After students finish, check their work.Then get them to write a similar poem following the rhythm and intonation.T: Which words in the poem rhymes?Ss: washed, combed, cleaned, planted, cut, swept, again, again.T: Right! Now write your own poem with similar rhythm and intonation. After you finish, exchange yours with your partner’s and check for each other. Pay attention to the rhythm and grammar.Then, let some read their poems to the class.Step IV Workbook ExercisesGive students some time to finish USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS and USING STRUCTURES in Workbook individually. If time is limited, leave them as homework.The Third Period Listening and SpeakingTeaching goals 教学目标1. Target language 目标语言功能句式The advantage/disadvantage is …I think/don’t think that …What’s your reason?What makes you think so …?I think … because (of) …I believe that …I agree/don’t agree … because …First … Second …I’ve decided that …As/Since …, I think …2. Ability goals 能力目标Enable students to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each form of IT by using the reasoning expressions.3. Learning ability goals 学能目标Help students learn how to make use of the reasoning expressions.Teaching important and difficult points 教学重难点Reasoning expressionsTeaching methods 教学方法DiscussionTeaching aids 教具准备Tape recorderTeaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式Step I Lead-inIntroduce the term “information technology”.T: We are now in a new century. As you may have heard, it will be a century of information technology. How do you understand this frequently used term? Encourage students to voice their own opinions.S: I think IT is closely connected with computers. Without computers, there would be no IT.S: I guess IT refers to the computer-based information systems, which include software application and hardware.S: …Show the definition of IT on the screen to help students better understand this term. What is IT?IT is the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware. In short, IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and retrieve information, securely.Today, the term information technology has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term is more recognizable than ever before. The information technology umbrella can be quite large, covering many fields. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that range from installing applications todesigning complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include:∙Data management∙Computer networking∙Database systems design∙Software design∙Management information systems∙Systems managementStep II ListeningDeal with activities 1-3 on page 22.T: Excellent opinions! Now discuss in pairs what IT consists of. Make a list and compare your ideas with another pair.Give a few minutes for them to discuss and make a list.T: Now you will hear a text about IT which will tell you more about it. First listen and get the main idea of the text. Write down the main idea in one sentence.Play the tape for the first time.Then check the sentences they write.T: What does IT include? What is the most popular form of IT? Now listen to the first part again and fill in the chart, Part A.Play Part A, check the answers.T: Which form of IT describes the skills of a sport best? Which form of IT has the most functions? Now listen to the second part again and fill in the chart, Part B. Play Part B, check the answers.Step III SpeakingGet students to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each form of IT in groups, using the reasoning expressions. Then decide when each kind of IT is most useful.T: Look at the expressions in activity 4. Which are used to make decisions?Ss: The advantage/disadvantage is …I think/don’t think that …I believe that …I’ve decided that …T: Then which ask about reasons?Ss: What’s your reason?What makes you thinks so?T: Good! Which are used to state reasons?Ss: I think … because (of) …I agree/don’t agree … because …First … Second …As/Since …, I think …T: From the listening material, we have learned about the different forms of IT such as computer, TV, book and radio. Now work in groups and discuss: What are the advantages and disadvantages of each form of IT? Use the expressions we just talked about. Then fill in the chart with your discussion results.It’s better that students work in groups of four and each focus on one form of IT. Sample discussion:A: I think computer is the most powerful IT form because it can store plenty of information in various forms. The advantage of computer IT is that the information can be updated at anytime and you can get almost information when connect with Internet.B: I think TV is the most popular form of IT and can be accepted by people at any age. It is easy to operate and there are more and more channels and programs to choose from. As most people still prefer to get information or have fun from TV, I think TV will continue to be a dominant IT form in the 21st century.C: I think radio has many disadvantages.D: What makes you think so?C: First, you can only hear but can’t watch. Second, the information that you can get from it is very limited. However, it also has its advantages. You can listen to radioprograms when you are driving, walking or doing housework. What’s more, it’s small and easy to take.D: I prefer to read books. I think book is the most reliable IT form. The information in books are usually better selected and organized. Compared with TV and computer, books do less harm to eyes. You can read them again and again. While the disadvantage of book IT that it is expensive.After discussion, ask some group representatives to report their results.Step V HomeworkT: Chips play a very important role in computer technology. They are the “core” of computers. How much do you know about chips? After class, please find some information about it.The Fourth Period Integrating skillsTeaching goals 教学目标1. Target language 目标语言重点词汇和短语chips android appearance character2. Ability goals 能力目标Enable students to write a description of an android.Enable students to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of some types of robots.3. Learning ability goals 学能目标Help students learn how to write a description of an android.Teaching important and difficult points 教学重难点Describe an android in details.Teaching methods 教学方法Scanning, imitation and discussion.Teaching aids 教具准备Tape recorderTeaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式Step I Lead-inCollect the information students have found about chips. Share them with the whole class.About Chips:A small piece of semiconducting material (usually silicon) on which an integrated circuit is embedded. A typical chip is less than square inches and can contain millions of electronic components (transistors). Computers consist of many chips placed on electronic boards called printed circuit boards.Computer chip technology is in all sorts of everyday items, from space shuttles to coffee makers, traffic lights, and computers. A basic rule of thumb is, if a device uses electricity and you can “tell it what to do”by programming it or customizing it, th ere’s a chip inside.Step II Reading, speaking and writingT: The development of “chips”has brought many applications of computer technology. One of them is robots or androids.Write “robot” and “android” on the board, and explain the difference.T: Android is a robot that looks completely human. Some robots don’t look human. Now read the passage about Andy, the android.After reading, let students fill in the file or Andy in activity 1.Then check the file they filled.T: Now I’d like you to create your own android. Use your imagination and be creative. Draw a picture of it and fill in the file in activity 2. Then compare with your partner.Then get students to write a description of the android they draw.T: Before you write your own passage, read the sample one in activity 3 and tell me how the writers describes his/her android.Ss: He/she gives details about the android’s abilities and jobs.T: Right! Does he/she describe the appearance or character of the android?Ss: No.T: But you can include this information in your passage. Now write your own passage according to the file you filled and the picture you drew.After they finish writing, let them read their passages to each other in groups and choose the most creative one.Step III ListeningLISTENING on page 56.T: Turn to page 55. Look at the pictures in activity 2. What do you think these robots can do according to their appearance?S1: I think the first one can play guitar.S2: The second one can play sports, read books and write.S3: The third one can sing songs.S4: The fourth one can do house work.T: According to the pictures, what do you think you are going to hear? Tell your partner one sentence about what you think you will hear.Sa: We will hear about a robot design competition.Sb: We will hear a lecture on the development of robots.T: Now let’s listen and check.Play the tape. Students try to get the main idea of it.T: Identify the three robots and number them.Play the tape again and check the answers.T: Now listen to the tape again and try to complete the chart in activity 3. Pay attention to information about height, appearance, ability and price of each robot. Play the tape. Stop at the end of each part. Then check the answer.Step IV TalkingTALKING on page 55.T: Imagine that your family is thinking of buying a robot. You can afford these three robots mentioned in the listening text. Please discuss which one is the best for you. Remember to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each one. Then make your choice and give reasons. Remember to use the expressions on page 22 in your discussion. You may do it in groups of four.Give students 5 minutes for discussion. Then let some group representatives report their results. e.g.Our group has chosen the one who can do house work because there are always so much housework do to everyday, and our parents are all busy working and they feel too tired to do house work after work. So if we buy the robot, our families will have more time for fun.The Fifth Period Integrating skills (II)Teaching goals 教学目标1. Target language 目标语言liaison and incomplete explosion2.
