Unit 5 Music I. 单元教学目标
II. 目标语言
Ⅲ. 教材分析与教材重组
1. 教材分析
本单元以music为话题,通过对本单元的教学,使学生了解有关的音乐知识,了解乐队The Monkees的形成,表演风格及发展历程,让学生在理解文章,理解音乐的同时,潜移默化培养一种审美的情趣,也会对社会生活,人的思想观,价值观以及人应该追求什么进行思考。
并通过学习一个有趣的寓言故事,侧面了解演员成名后,歌迷给其带来的苦恼;暗示过分痴迷所带来的负面影响。
同时让学生利用目标语言学会表达自己的观点,征询建议及把握介词提前的定语从句的使用;能利用本单元所学知识写e-mail 或短文介绍中国有关的民间音乐。
1.1 Warming up 是听八段不同的音乐,然后与书上的八幅图片相搭配,目的是通过听不同的音乐,让他们了解有关类型的音乐,讨论对于音乐的感受和喜欢听音乐的原因,激发他们对此话的兴趣,带他们进入话题。
1.2 Pre-Reading 提出三个问题,引导学生谈论有名的乐队,尤其是与课文相
关的门基合唱组。
在学课文前扩展学生的思维,为学课文做好准备。
1.3 Reading 课文以知名乐队The Monkees的成立和发展为切入点,从通俗音乐的题材,特点,内容以及半个世纪来的发展历程等多个方面介绍了这种音乐艺术形式,并以音乐作为一个侧面反映了近几十年来美国社会和价值观的变化,是一篇涵盖了大量的信息量,同时又可以给学生艺术和思想双重启迪的优美文章。
通俗音乐发展历史悠久,六十年代开始成为美国社会流行音乐主流,节奏强烈,主题鲜明,歌词率真,容易引发人的共鸣,尤其是在喜爱音乐的年轻人中可以产生感官和心灵上的触动。
同时,流行音乐歌曲所负载的是整个社会所接受和追求的一种价值观。
学习这篇课文,学生在理解文章,理解音乐的同时,潜移默化中也在培养一种审美的情趣,也会对社会生活,人的思想观,价值观以及人应该追求什么进行一定的思考。
因此,作为一篇谈论音乐的文章,它提供了较广泛的教学资源拓展空间,它可以博得学生的喜爱,可以使学生有较大的热情积极投入到课堂教学中来,和教师在探究中共同学习。
当然,这篇课文也有它的不足之处,由于所介绍的是早期的乐队,音乐类型和年代都离当代中国学生所接触的音乐较远,使学生需要在感性层面上接受这种音乐,导致了学生对课文的兴趣不足。
1.4 Comprehending 设计了四种题型,第一题主要归纳乐队的特点,第二题属于细节理解题,主要加深对课文的理解,让学生学会正确理解句子。
第三题是一个开放性问题,在读课文的同时,让学生去思考,让他们养成勤于动脑,善于探究的好习惯。
第四题让学生归纳段意,掌握一般说明文的阅读方法,从而进一步提高他们的阅读能力。
1.5 Learning about language 部分包括词汇和语法两部分,词汇练习主要是针对课文中重点词汇的练习。
其中第三题是一个开放性题,通过做游戏,一则使学生正确使用短语dream of 与to be honest with,再则激发他们的想象力,鼓励他们要有梦想,并为之而奋斗。
语法主要针对定语从句介词提前的情况进行练习。
1.6 Using language包括听力和阅读两部分,通过一则幽默的寓言故事,讲了Freddy想成名及成名后的苦恼,侧面反映了歌迷不正确的崇拜方式给明星带来的负面影响。
启示他们形成正确的价值观,正确地对待明星。
1.7 Speaking and writing 中Speaking 部分让学生发挥想象力,组织自己的乐队,并演奏自己喜欢的歌曲;Writing 部分让学生写出自己有关音乐的名言,目
的是通过搜集有关音乐的名言,唱英语歌曲,激发学生学习英语的兴趣,使他们热爱生活,思考生活,培养良好的学习习惯。
总之,通过本单元的系统学习,让学生了解音乐,接触音乐,体验音乐,从而更加热爱生活,感知语言知识,不断丰富自己的语言知识,提高自己的语言运用能力。
本单元单词可采用集中识词的方法,集中记忆,反复循环。
2. 教材重组
2.1 将Warming up 部分与Pre-reading, Reading, Comprehending同属与音乐有关的内容,放在一个课时教学,设计成一节阅读课。
2.2 将Learning about language 及Workbook 中的USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS和USING STRUCTURES放在一起教学,上一节语法课。
2.3把Using language中Listening 部分,Workbook 中LISTENING与LISTENING TASK结合在一起,形成一节听力课。
2.4 将Using language 中Reading与Workbook中Reading task部分放在一起,上一节泛读课。
2.5将Speaking and Writing 中Speaking与Workbook 中TALKING及SPEAKING TASK放在一起,上一节口语课。
2.6把Speaking and writing 中Writing 与Workbook 中WRITING TASK放在一起,上一节写作课。

Step Ⅱ Warm up
1. Lead-in
T: Today we are going to learn Unit 5. In this unit we’ll learn something about music. First turn to page 33. Look at the pictures. Let’s listen to some music and let’s see if you can guess which music matches which pictures.
Ss: ...
T: Good. I’m sure you are interested in music and know a lot about some songs and famous singers. Now let’s go on with the other three questions. I’d like you to have a discussion. Then I’d like you to report you work.
Allow them enough time for the discussion.

S2: I like Western music. Because I think their music is lively, and musicians’ voices are beautiful and pleasant. I like classical music, and they are often serious and make people inspired. I think most people like classical music, which can last long, while modern music is mainly to young people’s taste, and it may not last long.
T: Good. Let’s go on with next question—How does music make you feel?
S3: I think music can make me happy or sad. Listening to the music, I recall some memories or dream of beautiful life and often it makes us think a lot.
T: Good. I have the same idea as you. What about next question? Any volunteer?
S4: I like to listen to music, because I often feel relaxed when listening to the music. Also music tells about real life, stories, and sounds like the way people really talk. So I like music very much.
Step Ⅲ Pre-reading
Get the students to discuss the questions with their partners and then ask them to report their work. Encourage them to express their opinions freely.
T: Now please look at the slide show. And discuss these questions with your partners. Th en I’ll ask some students to report your work. Are you clear?

S2: I’ve heard about “Supergrass”, a famous band in America.
S3: I have heard about "Kingsmen", also a famous band in America.
T: Good, you know so many famous bands. I think you must be interested in music. Now let’s come to the second question-Which band do you like best? Why?
S1: I like “Supergrass” best. The musicians in th e band always seem very young. It appears that they are very lazy. Also their performances often keep people laughing all the time.
S2: I like “Reggae” best, for I like their performances that are full of excitement. They mainly play jazz or crazy music.
S3: I like “The Beatles” best. I like their style of performances. Listening to their performances, you may feel relaxed, amused, and after their performances, you can think a lot about life.
T: Very good. Let’s come to the last question. Who knows anything about "The Monkees"?
S4: It is a band that was very popular in the 1960s in America. Now it is still popular in the world today. This band first sang one of my favourite songs—“Bubblegum”. S5: “The Monkees” were a 4-person band in the 1960s as well as a TV show of the same name and it modeled on “The Beatles”. The band used techniques rarely seen on TV at that time.
T: Good, let’s come to the reading-The Band That Wasn’t and find more about them. Step Ⅳ Reading
First reading: scanning
Get the Ss to comprehend the passage quickly and accurately and meanwhile help the Ss to form a good habit of reading. Teachers give the Ss a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell the Ss to read the text silently and then ask some detail questions about the text on the slide show with their partners. Teachers encourage the Ss to express their ideas.
T: Now we are going to learn a passage about some bands. Read the passage quickly and find out the answers to the two questions here.
Show the questions on the screen.
1. What are the benefits if students form a band to play in the street?
2. When did “The Monkees” break up and when did it reunite?
3. Why was “The Monkees” successful in their work?
Allow the students several minutes to read the passage.
T: Sinc e you have finished reading, let’s answer the questions. Any volunteer?
S1: The first question. They can earn some extra money and this can also give them a chance to realize their dream of being famous.
T: Quite right. What about the second question?
S2: “The Monkees” broke up in about 1970 and it reunited in the mid-1980.
T: Good! How about the third question?
S3: Because they were serious about their work and they also worked very hard.
T: Quit right, you have done a good job.
Second reading: Reading aloud
In this part, Ss will read the text again and try to understand the sentences and the main idea of each paragraph. And then finish the exercises in Comprehending. First let them read the passage carefully, do the exercises on their own, discuss the questions in pairs and then check the answers together.
T: Read aloud and let’s do the comprehending exercises after you having read the passage.
After the Ss have finished reading.
1
T: Have you found out their best choices for Exercise 1?
Ss: Yes.
T: OK! Let’s check the answers. Who’d like to try?
S1: I think they are lively, funny and attractive, for they modeled on the attractive performances of "The Beatles". They played music and played jokes on each other as well. Their performances must be very interesting and attractive.
S2: I think they are brave, for at the beginning they did not sing or write their own songs. Though they met with difficulties, they succeeded after all.
S3: I think that they are popular, and famous. Because they produced many records, some of which are still popular today.
T: So we can say they are popular, lively, funny, attractive, brave, and famous.
Get the students to do this exercise by themselves, and then ask them to check their answers with the whole class.
T: Let’s do next exercise. Discuss the two questions and I’ll ask some students to report your work.
After several minutes
T: Question 1. Who’d like to try?
S1: Let me try. Yes. I think it was right for them to call “The Monkees” a band. Though they didn’t sing or write their songs, they really get people to appreciate music. It’s such a creative idea that many people become their fans. It was a band formed in an unusual way.
S2: No, I don’t think it was a band. They didn’t write or sing their own songs. How can we call it a band?
S3: No. I don’t think so, because singing and writing its own songs is the basis of a band.
T: I have the same idea as you. Let’s go on with next question. Any volunteer?
S4: Yes. I think it is the jokes that really attract more fans.
S5: No. The purpose of forming a band is getting people to enjoy the spirit of music. It’s more important than playing jokes just to make people laugh.
S6: No, I think the content of music is more important than the jokes. The content is the soul of the music.
Get the students to do it by themselves, and then discuss the answers in groups of 4. At last check the answers with the whole class.
T: Now it’s time to deal with Exercise 4. Go over the passage and look for the main idea of each paragraph. I’ll give you several min utes to discuss your answers in groups 4, and then let’s check the answers with the whole class.

Step Ⅰ Revision
Greetings
Check the homework
T: I’d like to know the information you’ve collected about music or musicians. Who’d like to try?
S1: I like country music. So I’d like to say something about country music. Country music comes from two kinds of music. One is traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West.
The singers usually played the guitar, and in the 1920s the singers started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World WarⅡ, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in factories. They took their music with them, so it slowly became popular all over the United States. Today country music is popular everywhere, because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real life stories. As life becomes more complicated, it is good to hear music about ordinary people.
S2: My favourite singer is Zhou Huajian, a well-known pop singer who was born in Hong Kong. As a high school student, he took interest in music and once took part in a singing competition held by local radio station and won the first prize. At the age of 19, he went to Taiwan Province and studied there. The next year, he went to sing in a restaurant, where he sang for four years. One day, when he was singing in a restaurant, the manager of a record company was greatly impressed by his performance. So he was invited to join the company. He has been famous since then.
Ask 2 or 3 Ss to report their homework.

work, "The Monkees" started to play their own instruments.
