for or against keeping pets 赞成或反对养宠物

Lesson 3 For or Against Keeping Pets?

一、课文分析 (Lesson Analysis)

（一）课文地位 (Lesson Position)

1、本课是Unit 3的第三课。本课重点通过学生间对于是否养宠物这一问题的辩论，总结出养宠物的有利与不利之处，并能学会谈论。建议教师在学生熟练掌握课文的基础上，引导他们在日常的学习生活中如何就某些社会问题去进行辩论。

2、本课的重点和难点是宾语从句。

在学生学习了第二课以that, if引导的宾语从句的基础上再来学习以疑问词（wh-words）引导的宾语从句应该说有一定的基础。以疑问词（wh-words）引导的宾语从句既是本课的重点，也是本课的难点。宾语从句是整个初中语法教学中相当重要的内容，学生们必须理解它，掌握它。教师必须注意通过情景创设去训练与之有关的内容，不要纯碎为教语法而教语法，从而使学生在情景中比较熟练地掌握宾语从句，并能运用自如。

(二) 课文目标 (Lesson Target)

1、能谈论有关宠物的话题。

2、能教会学生如何进行辩论。

3、能使学生掌握以疑问词（wh-words）引导的宾语从句。

4、引导学生关注社会问题，正确看待养宠物的利弊关系，构建一个人和动

物和谐相处的美好世界。

（三）课文重点 (Lesson focus)

1、关键词汇：

From the text: feel lonely, keep sb. company, keep sth. as a pet, keep pets, walk a dog, have heart trouble, be in danger, have a debate, argue, donate, encourage, make noise, in favour of, a research, in sb’s opinion, what’s more.

（必须熟练掌握这些词汇，因为这与本课话题有着密切的联系）

……

earthquakes, a drowning boy, in the ruins, attack, brave, save, find, die, celebrated, in honour of, jump off, hand commands, World Trade Center, the most celebrated.

Additional words and expressions:puppy, kitten, as busy as a peacock,

as strong as a horse, milk a cow, spread disease, poisonous.

掌握用以进行辩论的短语：

In my opinion,--

I’m for---/ I’m in favour of---

I’m against---

Let me give the reasons./ The following are my reasons.

What’s more,--- / Besides,---

First，---Secondly，---Thirdly，---Finally，---

That’s why---/ So---

2、语言功能：

1)We argued about whether we should encourage people to keep pets.

(以whether/if引导的宾语从句)

2)But from the debate, we learned why people keep pets and what

problems there may be with pets.

（以疑问词wh-words引导的宾语从句）

3、语法要点：

前一课已学习了以that, if引导的宾语从句，本课是在前一课的基础上学习以疑问词（wh-words）引导的宾语从句。教师在本课中系统地进行教授，举一反三。

(1) 教师创设情景：播放学生们喜闻乐见的动画狮子王（The Lion King）的画

面，欣赏其中的主题曲“今晚你感受到爱了吗”，然后提出问题：I want to know what animal you like best; I also want to know what animal you dislike best引入所要谈论的语法话题—宾语从句。

(2) 复习Unit 3 Lesson 2 所学的以that, if/whether 引导的宾语从句，并

让学生从文中找出相应的例子, 总结其语法规律。

●Doctors have learned that(该连接词可省略) walking a dog is good

exercise.

●We argued about whether we should encourage people to keep pets.

（whether常和or not连用，而 or not 不能紧跟在if后）

(3) 两人一组朗读课文P114的例句，结合课前的预习（事先安排学生预习课本

P175关于由wh-引导的宾语从句），让学生自己找出疑问词（wh-words）引导的宾语从句的语法现象，教师予以总结。（注意：主句与从句时态的一致性；从句必须用陈述句的语序）

Judge whether the two sentences are“T” or “F”

✧He wants to know how can he get to the Science Museum.

✧He wanted to know how he can get to the Science Museum.

(4)操练运用：

课文P115 ( Pair work. Repeat your partner’s sentences. 建议将Developing Skills Ex1挪到前面来教，可能效果会好些) 配套练习册P66(Change the underlined parts into the object clause 动词不定式改为宾语从句)
