Step I Warming up
Deal with Warming up. Present photos of different kinds of robots. Then ask them to
say something about his or her favorite robot.
T: Good morning /afternoon, class!
Ss: Good morning/ afternoon, Mr. /Ms…
T: In this class we are going to learn about robots. Who would like to tell me what a robot is?
S1:A robot is a machine.
T: What kind of machine?
S2: A robot is a kind of machine that can do a variety of often complex human tasks. T: How can a robot perform human tasks?
S3: A robot is controlled by a computer.
T: You are right. Then we can give the definition of a robot like this:A robot is a machine designed to do jobs that are usually performed by humans. Robots are programmed and controlled by a computer.
（Today there are different kinds of robot, including industrial robots, household robots, and entertainment robots. Robots also often appear as characters in stories.）
In groups, make a list of any science fiction, literature, films, video games, TV shows and cartoons you know that include robots as characters. Choose one and be prepared to tell the class about it briefly.
Step II Pre-reading
Ask students to discuss the questions in pre-reading in groups. Students are encouraged to speak out their opinion freely, no matter what it is. Teacher should encourage students to use their imagination.
Step III Reading
Deal with the reading part.
Scanning
Ask the students to scan the text and find out what Tony looks like.
T: Ok. I’m glad you had a heated discussion. Now I’d like you to meet Tony-- a robot that looks exactly like a human being. He is a character in the science fiction Satisfaction Guaranteed by Isaac Asimov. Please read the text and find the answers to the following questions.
Show the following questions on the PowerPoint.
1. What did Tony look like?
2. What did Tony do to make Claire and her home elegant?
Several minutes later check the answers with the whole class.
Suggested answer:
1. He was tall and handsome although his facial expressions never changed. His hair was smooth and black and his voice was deep.
2. Tony gave Claire a new haircut and changed the makeup she wore. He also suggested Claire buy new curtains, cushions, a carpet and paint for the house and new dresses for herself. He made improvements on the house so that the house looked very elegant.
Careful Reading
1. Claire's feelings toward Tony changed as the story developed. Read the story, then fill in the occasions when Claire had these feelings.
Comprehending questions on Page 12 Ask students to read the text carefully and then discuss the comprehending questions on Page 12 in groups.
T: Now let’s read the text carefully and then do the comprehending exercises on Page 12.
Several minutes later check the answers with the whole class.
Suggested answers:
2.1. He wanted Claire’s guests to see him and Claire together so that she would be envied by the women guests.
2.2 He had prevented Claire from harming herself by making her feel good about
herself. He helped her make her and her home elegant so that she would not feel like a failure.
2.3 Because the company (designers) felt that they could not have women falling in love with a robot.
2.4 Various answers can be accepted.
2.5 When she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. Tony didn’t look like a machine at Before he
arrived When he offered to
help her dress When he offered to help her improve her house and herself
Helped her with the sales man
When she fell off a
ladder and caught by
Tony When she heard Gl adys whispering to
another woman that
She remembered
Tony was just a
machine
all. She felt embarrassed when Tony asked her whether she needed help dressing.
Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot.
She was amazed by the fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin.
She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day.
What a sweet victory to be envied by those women. She might not as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover. Then she remembered—Tony was just a machine. She cried all night.
3.
Claire’s emotion development
After dealing with the comprehending exercises, ask students to work together to find how Claire’s emotion developed.
Suggested answer:
At first refused to have Tony at her house---accept him----trust him---- proud of
him----love him---sad to remember he was just a machine
T: From her emotion development, we can see Tony was designed as a Mr. Perfect. He is designed not to harm Claire or allow her to be harmed. This is one of Isaac’s three laws for robots. Later in this unit we will learn more about his three laws.
Characteristics of science fiction
T: As you know, the story was written in 1951. With the development of science, some of the functions performed by Tony have come true. From this story we can draw a conclusion:
Science fiction is often based on scientific principles and technology.
Science fiction may make predictions about life in the future.
Please remember these are some characteristics of science fiction. If you are interested, you may write short science fictions in your spare time.
Explanation
During this procedure Teacher will play the tape recording for students. Students will underline the difficult sentences. After listening to the tape, Teacher will explain the text and deal with language problems.
T: Now we will deal with some difficult language focuses. Now I will play the recording of the text for you. Please make a mark where you have difficulties.
After listening to the recording, explain the difficult sentences to students. Before explaining the difficult points, students are asked to refer to the notes to the text on Page88-89.
T: Do you have any difficulties with the text？
S1:Could you please explain the sentence to us：She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. T: Because Tony didn’t look like a machine at all, when Tony offered to help her get dressed, she was embarrassed, perhaps shy to get a “man” help her dressing.
S2: How to understand this sentence: Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot.
T: In spite of the fact that Tony looked so human, he was just a machine. So Claire thought it was foolish that Tony offered her sympathy. Do you have any other questions?
Ss: No.
T: Maybe someday we will have robots that have feelings and can also think for themselves. Please remember science fiction reflects scientific thought;
things-to-come based on things-on-hand. Ok, that’s all for today. Don’t forget to surf the internet to learn more about the great writer and his stories. Of course you will learn more about robots.
Step IV Homework:
.Surf the internet to learn more about robots and science fiction.

VI . Make up the story
学情分析
通过高中近两年的英语学习，大多数学生已能听懂有关熟悉话题的语段和简短的故事。

能与教师或同学就熟悉的话题交换信息。

能读懂短篇故事，但由于各种因素的影响，学生发展参差不齐。

有少数学生因为基础不够好，学习很吃力而自暴自弃，这给教学带来不少困难。

总的来说，大部分学生对于英语还是保持着比较高的热情，但两极分化较严重，优秀生上课爱表现，差生课上在优秀生的“咄咄逼人”下变得越来越沉默，课堂有时候沦为优秀学生的秀场。

学生的情绪容易激发，课堂上，老师容易掌控学生的学习进度。

总之，学生特点比较明显，教学上还得因材施教。

效果分析
上课的语言有待于进一步简练，准确，有效。

上课流程的整体性需进一步流畅，各个环节的时间分配还欠合理。

每一个环节，每一个细节，每一个问题，甚至幻灯片上每一个背景，事无巨细，都要反复的推敲和斟酌。

导入猜测活动新颖，有效，激发了学生对机器人这一话题的兴趣。

但所有的构思必须以课本为依托，以学生为本，体现出以学生为主体的教学理念。

学生不能熟练掌握单词，对课文内容似懂非懂，仅凭几个关键词就可以立即反应出课文的相关内容，其难度稍大，学生在表达上有欠缺，不太积极主动。

教材分析
通过对课文的阅读，了解在未来的生活中，机器人将会在我们的日常生活中发挥愈来愈重要的作用，能够满足人类的需求。

但机器人也存在一定的弊端，例如在文中也体现出来了，文章的女主人公爱上了机器人。

这篇文章趣味性较强，能够调动学生的兴趣及积极性。

【教学重点与难点】
重点：阅读文章回答相关的问题
难点：把握文章女主人公的思想变化，由不喜欢---爱上他，这一复杂的过程
教学之前用百度在网上搜索‘机器人’的相关教学材料，找了很多教案作参考，了解到教学的重点和难点，确定课堂教学形式和方法。

然后根据课堂教学需要，利用百度搜索在搜索到相关视频，现场放给学生观看，加深印象。

课后反思
1.通过视频片段可以调动学生的兴趣和积极性，为后面的阅读奠定了较好的基础。

2.在阅读中一定要把握克莱尔（Claire）对于机器人托尼（Tony）的心理变化这条主线，
由最初的不喜欢---担心---尴尬---羡慕---喜欢---爱上。

把握了这条主线，对文章的理解有很大的帮助。

通过文章的阅读，可以让学生了解机器人给我们的生活带来的影响，对我们的帮助。

这对未来科技这方面的写作有很大的帮助。

3.关注学生英语知识学习的同时，强调学生语言应用能力的培养，让学生更多地观察、分析、思考、内化和提升。

4.读前活动中不注意必要的“知识铺垫”（如生词、背景知识处理），匆忙进入阅读过程，未有效解决学生理解课文的实际困难。

读后活动的设计，没有对所学的语言活动进行初步的操练就进入了输出性活动，造成学生学习过程中的“断链”现象。

文本深层理解涉及较少或不充分，文本处理不够细致，有走过场之嫌疑。

5.教师要做一个倾听者、观察者和参与者，要适时和充分地肯定学生的主动生成和积极习得，同时要及时地发现学生的生成语误，准确地分析语误的原由，即时找到解决问题的方法和措施。

课标分析
教学目标语言知识熟悉有关机器人种类与功能的话题。

语言技能能运用词汇表述自己的想法与观点。

语言运用能运用语言就选择什么样的机器人发表自己的观点。

文化意识培养学生想象力和对未知世界的探索精神。

情感态度在英语学习中有较强的自信心，敢于用英语进行交流与表达。

学习策略借助联想学习相关词汇。

教学方法任务教学法、学生中心教学法、多媒体教学法
教学媒体PPT幻灯媒体、黑板
教学重点学习有关机器人的词汇，培养学生表达能力。
