I have given you the opportunity to create a new holiday. Now it’s time for you to present your holiday and give us your reasons. Who’d like to tell us your creation?Sa: In my opinion, the new holiday should be Nature Day. It should be celebrated on March 13th, when people should persuade the people around to protect environment and wildlife by delivering papers and giving lectures and no pollution or destruction of nature is allowed. I think this is the most necessary because our surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and man’s present effort can prevent it and it is high time we did what we could to protect our home.Sb: I think the new holiday should be Peace Day. On this day, no fighting or conflicts are allowed. People will learn and talk about peace and send olive (橄榄枝) and doves. That’s because the world is full of wars, killings and terrorism and some countries start wars in the name of freedom and democracy, so many people died, many arehomeless and the world economy is influenced. On the country, most people long for peace.Sc: In my personal opinion, the new holiday should be Relaxation Day, when people can do what they want to, as long as they don’t break the law. As most of us, old and young, live a busy life under certain pressure, we need the holiday to relax ourselves and to make the friends and relatives happy.Sd: I think the new festival should be the Students’ Day, which will be held on the first Sunday after June 9 every year. On that day no students need to study just doing what they like to without homework, without papers or orders of parents’and teachers’. You know, we are so tired under great pressure. On June 9 the entrance exam is over, the school-leavers can hold a party to celebrate their graduation. T: Wonderful ideas! I can’t agree with you more. We need some way to relax ourselves indeed. There happens to be a festival called Carnival when people can do what they want to without being recognized. Would you like to know more about it?Ss: Yes.T: OK. Let’s come to the passage on page 32. Please skim through the passage and then check the topics it mentions. This time, read just for the general ideas of the passage. Six minutes for you to complete the 450 words.Step II RevisionT: I think you must know something about Carnival. Carnival is a traditional time of celebration before the Christian season of Lent. Lent is a forty-day period of spiritual renewal before the holiday of Easter. Carnival ends with a wild celebration on Mardi Gras, the Tuesday before the start of Lent. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people gather in the city. They enjoy a series of lively parties and parades. Carnival today is an international, multicultural experience. It has become a celebration of life itself. But how did it become so? And do you know what the symbol of Carnival is?Ss: People always wear masks at Carnival. But I want to know why people wear masks at carnival. ...T: Today we are going to learn more about Carnival. Now please read The Magic of the Mask and then answer my question s.SkimmingAsk the Ss to skim through the questions and then read the text silently. Get the Ss comprehend the passage quickly and accurately and at the same time help them to form a good habit of reading. Show the questions on the screen.1. What do you think of when you think of carnival? (We think of crowds, costumes, masks, and confusion.)2. Where and why does the word “carnival” come from? Where does Carnival originate from? What did people see Carnival as? (“Carnival”comes from two Latin words, meaning “no more meat”. In Europe, where it began, carnival was followed by forty days without meat, as people prepared for the Christian festival of Easter. People saw Carnival as a last chance to have fun at the end of the winter season. Having fun meant eating, drinking, and dressing up.)3. How was the Carnival in Venice? (It was the most famous carnival in Europe. Thefirst carnival in Venice lasted for just one day. As time passed, the carnival period was extended, so that it began just after Christmas. For weeks on end people walked round th e streets wearing masks, doing what they could without being recognized.)4. How did the different kinds of people behave in the carnival in Venice? (Ordinary people could pretend to be rich and important, while famous people could have romantic adventures in secret. Many crimes went unpunished.)5. Why were masks banned when Venice became part of the Austrian empire, at the end of the eighteenth century? (Because the government realized that wearing masks had become a problem. Their use was limited by laws. First men were not allowed to wear masks at night, and they were not allowed to dress up as women in the fourteenth century. In later times more laws were passed. People who wore masks could not carry firearms; and no one could enter a church wearing a mask. If they broke the laws, they were put into prison for up to two years. Finally, masks were banned and carnival became just a memory.)6. When and why was the tradition wearing masks revived? And by whom? (In the late 1970s the tradition was revived. The idea to start the carnival again came from students. They began making masks and organizing parties, and threw bits of brightly coloured paper at tourists. The town council realized that carnival was good for business, and the festival was developed for tourists.)7. How long and when is carnival in Venice celebrated today? (For five days in February.)8. Is the spirit of Venice carnival the same as the great American carnivals? (No. The spirit of Venice carnival is not quite the same as the great American carnivals. If the key to Rio is music and movement, then in Venice it is the mystery of the mask. If the masks come off, the magic is lost.)Give the Ss six minutes to look through the text, allow them to discuss with their partners encourage them to express themselves with their own words.Step III Intensive ReadingLet the Ss have enough time to read the passage carefully this time to understand the main ideas of each paragraph and get the details.T: Read the text loudly for a second time and then complete the sentences with the correct words and phrases. At the same time underline the important phrases and sentences and make a mark where you have problems.Five minutes later, talk about Exercise 2 with the students, meanwhile encouraging the students to analyse some long and complex sentences.T: Time is up. Which is the correct answer of the first sentence?S: European.T: Yes. How did you get the answer?S: According to the sentence: In Europe, where it began, Carnival was followed by forty days without meat, as people prepared for the Christian festival of Easter. T: You are quite right. Can you analyze the sentence?S: Sure. There are two clauses in this sentence, the former used as attributive clause and the other as adverbial clause of reason....T: Now it’s time for you to complete tasks 3 and 4 and then read the text once more to check your answers. After you have finished them you can also discuss them with your partners.Language pointsIn this part try to help the students to analyze the difficult, long and complex sentences and talk about the meaning of the new words and ask them to deal with the language points in the context.T: Well, please look at the screen and I’ll show you some important sentences and phrases in the passage. Now look at these sentences and pay attention to the boldface words. I’ll ask you about their part of speech, meaning in the context and the important usages of them. Let’s talk about them together.1. As time passed, however, the carnival period was extended, so that it began just after Christmas. P32⑴ as: when; while “当……之时”(此处表示两个渐进的动作)“随着……”As he grew older, he became less active.As the society develops, the living conditions get better and better.= With the development of the society, the living conditions get better and better.⑵ so that 引导结果状语从句2.

Check the answers.Step III Supplementary readingThis step is designed to make the students know more about the great writer —Mark Twain.T: Here are some supplementary reading materials on the screen. Please read them by yourselves and know more about the great writer — Mark Twain.A Tiny Biography of Mark TwainEver A Gold Digger!Sam Clemens never finished what he started — before the age of twenty-five, that is. By age twenty-five he had quit school to work for a newspaper typesetter, quit setting type to pilot a Mississippi steamer, quit river-boating to join the Confederate Army and shortly thereafter, deserted the army to go West and dig for riches. Thankfully for generations of readers, he found none; and, while recouping his losses, he instead latched onto a bit of wisdom that would change the landscape of American literature.“There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy’s life that he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.”Which is Twain’s birth place? Florida? Missouri?Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri, on 30 November 1835. As he later said, he was brought in on Halley’s Comet and wished to go out on its return. He was raised in Hannibal, on the Missouri banks of the Mississippi. He was the sixth of seven children. At age twelve, sometime after his father’s death in 1847, he left school and apprenticed at a local printer’s shop. There, in what Abraham Lincoln later called the “poor boy’s college”, Clemens trained as a writer and critic.How Twain Set His Writing Style?“One isn’t a printer ten years without setting up acres of good and bad literature, and learning —unconsciously at first, consciously later —to discriminate between the two ... and meantime, he is unconsciously acquiring what is a “style”.The literature he set into type varied in genre from anecdotes, to monologues, brief book excerpts, poems, and sketches by contemporary humorists. What theseselections had in common was that they were all self-contained pieces — short and to the point. “Training is,” as Twain later wrote, “everything”; and so, it should come as no surprise that Twain himself survives in our hearts (and on the tip of our tongues) as easily excerpt able and eminently quotable. We can all picture Tom Sawyer persuading his friends to pay money for the privilege to whitewash his fence, but how many of us remember the novel at length? That scene —rather than the plot —stays fresh in our minds because it encapsulates how much we admired and resented that conniving kid on our own block, or in the cubicle just outside our office door. Twain As A Hopper Before His First BookTwain would write short pieces for nearly two decades before penning his first novel. But it was his skills as a printer, and not a writer, that bought him his first ticket out of Hannibal. Working as a tramp printer, he traveled to St. Louis and Iowa and then east to New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. D.C. During that time, he contributed travel letters to his brother’s newspaper, the Hannibal Gazette. A prolific writer, his career as a journalist was off to a fine start, writing feature stories, political reports, and sketches. Then, in 1957, Twain traveled to New Orleans and apprenticed to the pilot master George Ealer on the steamboat Pennsylvania. One and a half years later, he was a licensed steamboat pilot.By 1861, the Civil War had all but cut off traffic on the Mississippi. Twain enlisted in a Confederate company from Missouri. A few weeks later, he deserted and went off with his brother for the New Territory of Nevada. After failing as prospector, Twain served as city editor for the Virginia City Enterprise. One year later, in 1865, a real good liar and a jumping frog brought Twain into national prominence. New York’s The Saturday Press published his “Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” and newspapers throughout the United States reprinted it. In 1867, that jumping frog was binded with other short sketches by Twain as his first book.In the meantime, as early as 1866, Twain began lecturing. He told stories about himself and about his travels, which he continued to make as a correspondent. Twain visited the Sandwich Islands and, in 1867, set sail for the Holy Land. Later, he toured France and Italy gathering material for The Innocents Abroad. This book, published in 1869, truly established Twain’s reputation as a humorist. In it he satirized American tourists learning about Europe from guidebooks and, relying on his own voice of brash practicality, managed to extol the virtues of the New World as opposed to the Old.Step IV Homework1.

Learning ability goals 学能目标Help the Ss learn how to talk about festivals with the target language.Teaching important &difficult points 教学重难点How to talk about festivals and customs at festivals and how to express likes, dislikes and preferences.Teaching methods 教学方法Elicitation, discussion, listening and pair work.Teaching aids 教具准备A computer, a projector and a tape recorder.Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式Step I Lead-inShow the word “FESTIVALS” on the screen and then encourage the students to talk about as much about festivals in China as possible.T: Hello, everybody! As we all know, China, our great motherland, has a long history. So we have various festivals today. Look at the screen, please. What do you think of after you read the word “festivals”? Why do you think so?Ss: We like festivals very much. That’s because we can get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our daily life.Step II Speaking 1T: Who can talk something about festivals in China? Volunteers!S1: The Spring Festival is the most important festival in our country, when I usually get much lucky money from my parents, grandparents and my relatives. At the Spring Festival I needn’t go to school and there is lots of delicious food to eat. How great it is! What’s more, I can meet my cousins and old friends who I haven’t seen for a long time and we can have a very good time together.T: Excellent work! Now let’s talk more about FESTIVALS, which are meant to celebrate important events and persons. Please think about other Chinese festivals and when they are celebrated.FESTIVALSS2: New Year (January 1st), Yuanxiao Festival (15 days after the Spring Festival). S3: That’s also called the Lantern Festival. It’s the 15th day of the first lunarmonth, when we eat special sweet dumplings called Yuanxiao and enjoy displayed lanterns. And we enjoy beautiful fireworks, too.T: You have done a good job. What are the other festivals?S4: International Women’s Day. It is on March 8.S5: Arbor Day on March 12th.S6: International Labor Day and Chinese Youth Day.S7: International Children’s Day.T: Yes. Do you know other Chinese festivals?S8: Army Day is on August 1st and Teachers’ Day is on September 10th.S9: National Day on October 1st.T: Excellent work! Those are mostly the legal holidays in our country. There are also some traditional Chinese festivals celebrated according to the lunar calendar. Do you know some other traditional festivals? List some of them, please.S10: Qingming Festival in memory of the dead or the heroes on April the fifth. T: It’s called Tomb Sweeping Festival. Another one?S11: Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in memory of the great poet - Qu Yuan.S12: Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.T: You’ve done a good job, boys and girls! You have named so many festivals. I’m proud of you for you are so well-informed. Look at the screen and I’ll show you a table:Step III Speaking 2T: Ok! We have got lots of information about Chinese festivals. Would you like to know something about some foreign festivals?Ss: Yes! Of course!T: What’s the most important festival in western countries?Ss: Christmas!T: That’s right! Please look at the pictures on page 31, and then match the festivals with the descriptions. If you know some information about the festivals, please talk about them with your partners.S1: Christmas is both a legal and religious holiday, which observes the anniversary of the birth of Jesus. All states and all those of the Christian faith celebrate this holiday on which people give each other presents and best wishes while the children believe that the presents come from Father Christmas. So I think the first description can be matched with the festival of Christmas.S2: Yes. I can’t agree with you more. I guess Holi is a festival with color, which marks the beginning of spring in India. That’s because the people in the picture are colored heavily. But I know no more about it.T: That’s Ok. The festival of Holi is celebrated on the day after the full moon in early March every year. Apart from the usual fun with colored powder and water, Holi is marked by vibrant processions that are accompanied by folk songs, dances and a general sense of abandoned vitality. Who’d like to say something else about other festivals and their descriptions?S3: There is so much delicious food on Thanksgiving Day, so it must be when Americansremember the hard times when they first arrived in the country. T: The food is turkey(火鸡), corn and pumpkin pies(南瓜派). Thanksgiving Day is a traditional American festival on the fourth Thursday in November, when families get together and have a big dinner. How about the next one?S4: Judging from the pictures, there are two festivals for which people love wearing special clothes. So I’m not sure which one is suitable for the description.S5: Have you paid attention to the fifth description? I’m sure Halloween(万圣节) is the festival at the end of October, when “ghosts” come out, for it’s said that witches (女巫) ride through the air on broomstick.T: Yes! Halloween is a time to have fun and it comes on October 31st. It’s one of the most favorite holidays for children. Parties are very popular, too. People wear scary clothes and masks(面具), for example, dress up like a witch(巫婆).S6: Then for Carnival people love wearing special clothes and it seems that people usually dress up and wear a mask at this festival.T: That’s true. People walk on the street wearing masks, doing what they want to do without being recognized. Look at the picture lower in this page. What is the person wearing?S7: The person is wearing so special clothes and a mask that it’s hard to say it is male or female.T: Have you ever dressed up in special clothes?Ss: No. At the Spring Festival we usually wear beautiful and new clothes but there are no special clothes. Maybe the Chinese minorities wear special clothes on their festivals.T: Yes. As we all know, different countries have different culture and social customs. Then what do you usually do during festivals? Let’s come to part four of this page, and please check out the thing you do.S8: We eat special food at different festivals. For example, on Mid-Autumn Day we usually eat moon cakes and other delicious food, Zongzi is the traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival and jiaozi for the Spring Festival.S9: We give and receive gifts, have holidays from school and enjoy ourselves withfriends and family at the Spring Festivals. On Lantern Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival we take part in different traditional ceremonies, such as enjoying displayed lanterns, rowing dragon boats and so on. S10: We sometimes dance and listen to music at festivals, but usually we enjoy all kinds of entertainment programs.T: I am very proud of you because you know so much about festivals at home and abroad. Step IV Everyday EnglishExpressing likes, dislikes and preferences.T: Now please turn to page 37. Let’s come to the function of this module. Task 2:Number the phrases from the most negative (1) to the most positive (6).Ss: In my opinion, No.1 should be “ I hate it”; No. 2 should be “I don’t think much of it”; the third one should be “It’s OK”; next might be “I quite like it”; the fifth one “I really like it”; the most positive one must be “I love it”. T: Yes. What you said is quite right. Now please work in pairs and discuss your preferences for food to eat at festivals, using the phrases in Activity 2 of page 37 and following the example.Sa: Do you like pork?Sb: Yes, I do. I really like it, especially the dumplings with pork. How about you? Sa: No, I don’t. I don’t think much of it. I prefer chicken to pork....Step V Summary and homeworkT: Boys and girls you did very well today. We have talked about festivals around the world, so I believe all of us have broadened our horizon. Here is your homework today:1. If you have a chance to decide a new holiday that is most likely to be necessary in your opinion, please create a new holiday and give your reasons.2. Do Everyday English on page 37.。

Moved by his good nature, Wang Li (played by Rene Liu) wants to protect him from Uncle Bill(played by Ge You) who tries to steal from Fu Gen. Wang Bo, who tries to stop her at first, finally becomes kind and helps her protect the country boy.Andy Lau has a hard time being ugly in the movie. He plays very well, so does Rene Liu.

山东省莱芜市钢城新兴路学校高中英语Module4素材附件外研版必修5背景知识Holi - the festival of colorsThe festival of Holi is celebrated on the day after the full moon in early March every year.Originally a festival to celebrate good harvests and fertility of the land, Holi is now a symbolic commemoration of a legend from Hindu Mythology. The story centers around an arrogant king who resents his son Prahlada worshipping Lord Vishnu. He attempts to kill his son but fails each time. Finally, the king’s sister Holika who is said to be immune to burning, sits with the boy in a huge fire. However, the prince Prahlada emerges unscathed, while his aunt burns to death. Holi commemorates this event from mythology, and huge bonfires are burnt on the eve of Holi as its symbolic representation.This festival is also associated with the immortal love of Krishna and Radha, and hence, Holi is spread over 16 days in Vrindavan as well as Mathura - the two cities with which Lord Krishna shared a deep affiliation. Apart from the usual fun with colored powder and water, Holi is marked by vibrant processions which are accompanied by folk songs, dances and a general sense of abandoned vitality.Today Holi is an excuse for Indians to shed inhibitions and caste differences for a day of spring fever and Big Fun. Teenagers spend the day flirting and misbehaving in the streets, adults extend the hand of peace, and everyone chases everyone else around, throwing brightly colored powder (gulal) and water over each other. Thanksgiving DayCelebrating a Harvest of TraditionThe fourth Thursday in November, Thanksgiving Day, ushers in the “official” start of the Christmas season in our modern day world. Marked with parades, huge family meals featuring turkey, gravy, and all the trimmings, day-long displays of athletic prowess-or not, as sometimes happens-with wall-to-wall football, which does make one question whether the turkey or the pigskin is the featured course of the day, and the appearance of Santa throughout malls and stores, the festival has become a commercial event in which the origins and meaning of the day are almost totally obscured. The modern day Thanksgiving is a far different occasion than the original. Thanksgiving TodayThanksgiving, as we know it today, has come a long way from the Pilgrim’s harvest festival in 1621. It is an event that seems, as each year goes by, to reinvent itself and to expand its meaning to larger vistas. Maybe this is the real significance of the occasion; for as we continue to change and grow as a people, there are an increasing number of things for which we can be thankful.As many of you may have probably heard, the Brazilian carnival in Rio de Janeiro is very famous for the samba school parades.The samba schools are groups of about 6,000 people of all walks of life, rich andpoor, young and old, black and white and all in between, mostly Brazilians but also a lot of foreigners from all over the world who purchase tourist packages that include participating in the parade of a samba school. They get the costume and learn how to dance and sing the songs.The BIG thing in the samba school is the bateria, the percussion group which is composed of about 600 guys playing about 9 different types of percussion instruments. The beat is very strong and electrifying. People get crazy because of the beat. Mardi GrasMardi Gras is a traditional holiday celebrated in many of the southern states of the USA. The most famous celebration takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana. The people there enjoy this celebration by going to parades where they catch “beads, doubloons, cups, and trinkets” that are all thrown from floats.They have masquerade balls and dress up in costumes for these events. King Cakes are eaten during this holiday. Mardi Gras is known as the “biggest free show on earth.”Mardi Gras came to New Orleans through its French heritage in 1699. Early explorers celebrated this French Holiday on the banks of the Mississippi River. Throughout the years, Orleanians have added to the celebration by establishing krewes (organizations) which host parades and balls. Carnival quickly became an exciting holiday for both children and adults.Mardi Gras means “Fat Tuesday” and of course is celebrated on that day of the week. The date can fall between February 3 and March 9 depending on the Lunar calendar, used by the Catholic Church to determine the date of Easter. Mardi Gras is always 47 days before Easter Sunday.The official colors for Mardi Gras are purple, green, and gold. These colors where chosen in 1872 by the King of Carnival, Rex. He chose these colors to stand for the following:Purple represents justicegreen stands for faithgold stands for powerChinese FestivalsMost Chinese holidays have ties to Chinese folk religion and ancestor worship. While not all Chinese who participate in the ceremonies associated with the worship of ancestors believe in folk religion, they are a time of family unity and respect. Chinese New Year/Spring FestivalChinese New Years is by far the most well-known Chinese holiday, and also the most significant to Chinese culture. Also known as The Spring Festival, observation of the holiday actually begins the day before the beginning of the Lunar Year. The mode of celebration varies from province to province, different areas having their own specific traditions. Listed below are some of the customs associated with New Years. The day before the Spring Festival, there is a lot of cleaning and preparation done. Offerings to the Kitchen God are commonly made in hopes that he will give a good report to the Emperor of Heaven. That night is a special gatherin g when the whole family get together and eat a particularly large dinner.The following three or four days are public holidays. Most businesses close and time is spent paying formal visits to friends. Visitors bring a gift (generally a box of chocolate, nuts, or a tin of cookies) and are given a gift of greater value by the hosts. Married couples give little red packet envelopes to children and unmarried friends when greeted with a phrase wishing them prosperity in the New Year. While the majority of the holiday is observed in the first 3 or 4 days of the New Year, the first 10 days of the year are all part of the festival, however, in practice this is just additional time to get in visits to friends. During this time, many Chinese people take trips to the city or province where they were born.Certain foods take on special names to celebrate the New Year (for example: chicken is called phoenix), visitors are often treated to fruits and seeds, and people buy new clothes.During prosperous times, entirely new furnis hings may be bought. In the holiday, negative words, such as death, should be avoided. In fact, gifts of four and the word four are also often not used because it sounds like the word for death. Mid-Autumn FestivalThis holiday falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese New Year. Dring this celebration, Chinese people eat moon-cakes and spend the evening outdoors enjoying the beauty of the full moon. Additionally, children take paper lanterns out and play with them.The Dragon Boat FestivalThis colorful holiday is host to dragon boat races. Ornately shaped boats are rowed in international competitions watched by spectators. It occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the Lunar calendar. Rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves are eaten and colorful paper ornaments are displayed to commemorate the death of a great Chinese patriot. This statesman and poet lost his position as an advisor due to treachery and in a drunken stupor drowned. The people, unable to save him, showed their care for him by casting bright color decoys and food into the water so the fish would leave his body alone.Lantern FestivalThe Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.This day’s important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddha’s body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extr emely excited.“Guessing lantern riddles”is an essential part of the Festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity em erged during people’s enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.People will eat yuanxiao, o r rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the “Yuanxiao Festival.”Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with “tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky. Some Western FestivalsValentine’s Day , February 14 ( 情人节)Candy, flowers and other tokens of affection of affection are exchanged on this day, in honor of two martyrs, both named St. Valentine.April Fool’s Day, April 1 (愚人节 )Franksters feel that it is permissible to play all sorts of tricks on this day. Mother’s Day (母亲节 )The second Sunday in May, set aside to honor mothers.Father’s Day(父亲节)The third Sunday in June, set aside to honor fathers.Halloween , October 31 ( 万圣节 )A special day for making merry, wearing costumes and playing old-fashioned games.A favorite with children.Easter Sunday (复活节 )The first Sunday after the f irst Monday in November for the election of public officials. This holiday is observed in most states.Thanksgiving Day ( 感恩节 )Generally the fourth Thursday in November, set aside for national thanksgiving, especially for our democratic form of government. It is a legal holiday in all states. Labor’s Day ( 劳动节 )The first Monday in September. Set aside to honor labor, it is a legal holiday in all states.Christmas Day, December 25 (圣诞节 )This is both a legal and religious holiday, it observes the anniversary of the birth of Jesus.

Ability goals 能力目标Enable the Ss to talk about the development of carnival and get to know that people in different countries and in different times may celebrate similar festivals in different ways.3. Learning ability goals学能目标Help the Ss learn how to get more information about festivals all over the world by offering extra reading material.Teaching important points教学重点How to talk about the development of carnival.Teaching methods 教学方法Fast-reading and discussion.Teaching aids 教具准备A multiple-media computer & a blackboard.Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方式Step I RevisionCheck homework.T: Last period we listened to some material about Carnivals in different places. Now I would like you to talk about the food and vegetables at Chinese festivals. Volunteer!S1: At Spring Festival, we mainly eat a traditional food called Jiaozi, which is similar to the dumpling in western countries. There are a variety of Jiaozi in our country, and it’s made of flour and pork mixed with different kinds of vegetables. It not only tastes delicious but also looks pretty. I enjoy it very much.S2: I prefer sweet dumplings called yuanxiao to jiaozi, and I’d like to eat all kinds of candy.S3: At festivals I like vegetables best that contain lots of vitamins. It’s said that too much fat and sugar will do harm to our health.S4: I agree with you. At festivals we usually have more fat than what we need, such as chicken, pork, beef and cookies. I think it’s a waste of money. Now, as the living conditions are getting better, we can eat what we want in everyday life, so I don’tlike the food at festivals.T: You all have done excellent jobs. Thank you for you opinions.Step II Reading (1)T: As we all know, there are different kinds of carnivals around the world. Today we are going to read a passage, which is to introduce the development of carnival. Please look through the passage on page 39 and then answer the following questions:1. What’s the meaning of carnival?2. How did carnival become more colorful and more exciting after 1838?F ive minutes for the students to read the passage and then two minutes for them to discuss the questions with their partners.T: Time is up. Have you found the answers to the questions? Who’d like to have a try?S5: In my personal opinion, the meaning of carnival today is a celebration of life itself.T: Do you agree with him?Ss: Yes. But carnival had different meanings in different periods.T: That’s true. Who would like to answer the other question?S6: Let me try. I think when the slaves took over the carniv al, they developed it in their own way so that it was quietly different from their former slave owners. As a result carnival changed a lot and became a celebration of freedom.T: What you said is quite right! Now please read the passage once more to underline the important sentences and phrases. At the same time, pay attention to the development of carnival.Four minutes for the students to read the passage and then discuss some important sentences and phrases, dealing with some long and complex sentences.1. an international multicultural experience;2. take… by force;3. hold their own carnival celebrations;4. take over;5. a celebration of freedom;6. join the fun7. With the passing of time, the white inhabitants of the island began to take part in the carnival, too ... and they were welcomed by their former slaves.8. Carnival became a way to unite different communities, as people forgot their everyday problems and enjoyed themselves eating, drinking, and dancing.T: That’s all for the important phrases and sentences. Who’d like to talk about the development of carnival in this passage? You can refer to your notes, with your books closed.S7: Carnival has something to do with the history of America and the meeting of European and African cultures. It was the white slave owners who first celebrated Carnival, who came from Europe where carnival began. When the slave trade was abolished, the former slaves took over the festival and made it more colorful and more exciting than ever. With the passing of time, the former slave owners began to take part in the carnival and were welcomed by their former slaves. Today, visitorsfrom all over the world come to join the fun of carnival, which has become a celebration of life itself.S8: Yes. I can’t agree with you more. The festival developed with the development of society. What you said is the very three steps of carnival’s development. T: Both of you did quite well. Now let’s read one more passage about Christmas traditions.Step III Reading (2)T: Please turn to page 87. First, look through the headlines of the passage, and then match the headlines with the paragraphs. Five minutes for you to read and match them. Take up your pens and underline the phrases and sentences that are important or hard to understand. Five minutes is given to the students for them to read and think. And then the teacher can check the answers with the whole class. This task is quite easy, so just checking the answers is enough.T: I think you have got the general idea of the passage. Now please read the passage once more to choose the correct answers and answer the questions on page 88.The exercises are based on the passage and quite easy, so the teacher can just check the answers with the whole class.While dealing with the extensive reading material, teachers should pay attention to those long and complex sentences that are hard to understand. Guide the students to analyze them to get rid of the difficulty in reading and understanding.Step IV Extra ReadingT: Boys and girls, what’s the topic of this module?Ss: Carnival. It’s a festival celebrated in different places in different ways. T: That’s right. Would you like to know other festivals all over the world? Ss: We are curious about them.T: Ok. Are there any similarities among them?Sa: I don’t think there are similarities. As we all know, the social customs are different from country to country.Sb: I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with you. I think some of the festivals must be similar in some way. After all, we are all human beings and live on one planate. T: Both of you sound reasonable. So let’s read one more passage about festivals and celebrations. After reading it you will find the answer to my question. Now, please read through the passage and discuss the following questions:1. How many types festivals are mentioned in the passage? What are they?2. Can you give an example of Chinese festivals belonging to each type of them?3. When did ancient people celebrate?4. What are festivals of the dead for?5. Why does India have a national festival on October 2?6. Why are autumn festivals happy events?7. What is one important reason to have festivals and celebrations?Show the passage on the screen.Festivals and CelebrationsAncient FestivalsFestivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere. The most ancientfestivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Other celebrations were held when hunters could catch animals. They would starve if food was difficult to find, so they celebrated when they had food. They lit fires and made music because they thought these festivals would bring a year of plenty.Festivals of the DeadSome festivals are held to honor the dead, or satisfy and please the ancestors, who could return either to help or to do harm. In Japan the festival is called Obon, when people should go to clean the graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. The festival of Halloween had its origin as an event in memory of the dead. It’s now the children’s festival, when they can go to their neighbors’ homes and ask for sweets. They dress up and try to frighten people. If they are not given anything, the children might play a trick.Festivals to Honor PeopleFestivals can be held as an honor to famous people or to the gods. One of these is the Dragon Boat Festival in China, which honors the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. Another is Columbus Day in the USA, in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America. In India there is a national festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain.Harvest FestivalsHarvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter, and because a season of agricultural work is over. In European countries it is the custom to decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and people get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their animals, flowers, fruit and vegetables, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. In China and Japan there are mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and give gifts of moon cakes.Spring FestivalsThe most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat, and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the lunar New Year together. In some western countries there are very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. They might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colorful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival in Christian countries. It celebrates the return of Jesus for Christians and it also celebrates the coming of spring. In Japan, the Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country is covered with cherry tree flowers so t hat it looks as though it might be covered with pink snow. People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our daily life for a little while.Let the Ss discuss the questions and then show the suggested answers:1. Five types festivals are mentioned in the passage. They are ancient festivals, festivals of the dead, festivals to honor people, harvest festivals and spring festivals.2. Pure Brightness Day belongs to festivals of the dead; Dragon Boat Festival belongs to festivals to honor people; Mid-Autumn Festival belongs to harvest festivals and the Lunar New Year belongs to spring festivals.3. They celebrated at the end of winter / when good weather returned / when they had a good harvest / when the hunters caught animals for food / when they had enough food / when they wanted a year of plenty.4. They are to honour our ancestor / to make our ancestors happy so they won’t harm us / to satisfy our ancestors / to celebrate life in the presence of death.5. To honour the memory of Mahatma Gandhi / to honour / remember the man who helped gain India’s independence from Britain.6. People are grateful for the harvest / for the end of the agricultural work / the end of the hard work on the farms. People are happy that they will have food for the year.7. To have a break from daily life, to celebrate our customs / our history / our heroes, to enjoy meeting family and friends, to eat special food, to have fun with each other, to make our community closer, to show that we are thankful.T: Read the text loudly for a second time and then try to tell if these sentences are True or False.1. The ancient people needn’t worry about their food. ( )2. Halloween used to be a festival intended to honor the dead. ( )3. Pure Brightness Day in China is a festive of harvest. ( )4.
