Lesson10

II. Background information
• The ACLU placed an ad inviting a teacher to help test the law in the courts. Dayton was in an economic slump, and the town's movers and shakers thought a sensational trial would put Dayton "on the map”. • John Scopes was playing tennis when a group of businessmen called him to the town gathering place, Robinson's drugstore. They asked if he would be willing to be indicted for teaching evolution. Though he could not remember actually teaching Darwin's theory, Scopes believed in evolution and agreed to the plan.
II. Background information
• 2. Background Information about the “monkey trial” • John Scopes came to Tennessee fresh out of college. In the spring of 1925, he had just completed his first year as science teacher and part-time football coach at the high school in the little town of Dayton. • Scopes planned to return home to Kentucky for the summer. But in his words, "a beautiful blonde" distracted him and he stayed for another week hoping for a date. The decision changed his life forever. • It all began when the state of Tennessee passed a law making it a crime to teach evolution in public schools. A new organization called the American Civil Liberties Union responded immediately.

Forming a WH- questionWH- questions (using words such as "what", "when", "where" etc.) are also created by putting the auxiliary do before the subject. Then, you add the WH- word at the beginning. Here are some examples:I sing Do I sing?What do I sing?You speak.Do you speak?Why do you speak?He lives Does he live?Where does he live?2. What is a puter?A puter is a device or machine for processing information from data according to a program —a piled list of instructions. The information to be processed may represent numbers, text, pictures, or sound, amongst many other types.puters are extremely versatile. In fact, they are universal information processing machines. According to the Church-Turing thesis, a puter with a certain minimum threshold capability (in technical terms, one way to describe this is that the machine must have the ability to emulate a universal Turing machine) is in principle capable of performing the tasks of any other puter, from those of a personal digital assistant to a superputer. Therefore, the same puter designs have been adapted for tasks from processing pany payrolls to controlling industrial robots. Modern electronic puters also have enormous speed and capacity for information processing pared to earlier designs, and they have bee exponentially more powerful over the years. This process was dubbed Moore's Law.puters are present in a variety of physical packages. The original puters were the size of a large room, and such enormous puting facilities still exist for specialised scientific putation - superputers - and for the transaction processing requirements of large panies, generally called mainframes. Smaller puters for individual use, called personal puters, and their portable equivalent the notebook puter, are ubiquitous information processing and munication tools and are perhaps what most non-experts think of as "a puter". However, the most mon form of puter in use today is the embedded puter, a (usually) small puter used to control another device. Machines from fighter planes to digital cameras are controlled by embedded puters.3. The InternetThe Internet, or simply the Net, is the publicly accessible worldwide system of interconnected puter networks that transmit data by packet switching using a standardized Internet Protocol (IP) and many other protocols. It is made up of thousands of smaller mercial, academic, domestic and government networks. It carries various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, and the interlinked web pages and other documents of the WorldWide Web.2019-2020年七年级英语Module10 Section 2 Words and Expressions教案外研社1. putern.计算机；电脑an automatic electronic machine for performing calculations: This afternoon an old scientist will give us a talk on the puter. 今天下午一位老科学家将给我们作关于计算机的报告。

现代大学英语第五册 Lesson 3 教案

Lesson Three Goods Move. People Move. Ideas Move.And Cultures Change.Teaching hours: 6Teaching requirements: Build the students’ vocabulary power. Help the students to get the general ideas of the text about globalization and understanding of the various aspects related to globalization; Cultivating a sense of global awareness; Build the students’ writing skills by analyzing the rhetorical device of contrast and careful choice of words.Key points of teaching: a more perceptive understanding on globalization by learning the text; writing style analysis of the typical piece of journalistic writingTeaching contents1. Pre-class work1.1 Background Information1) Erla Zwingle: former National Geographic editor. I am a freelance journalist and have been writing for many magazines for several decades, on subjects ranging from photography to sports to people, places, and things. I have traveled from the slums of India and Sao Paulo to private clubs in Saint-Moritz, and met people from geologists studying nuclear waste storage to farmers harvesting their olives for oil. Muslims in Norway, environmental activists in Greece, art restorers in Italy—I'm used to meeting people and I love learning new things.2) Culture: the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought; the ideas, beliefs and customs that are shared by people in a society; all the arts, beliefs, social institutions etc. characteristic of a community or a race.Activity 1: Identify and explain what culture is. What is culture? Discuss. [Culture is a way of life shared by a group. It is a learned behavior, passed on by each generation. Culture embraces a people’s lifestyle, values, and beliefs.] Ask students to list items they think are part of culture [e.g., music, literature, art, religion, traditions, dress, food, architecture, education, government] gather information and write a definition of what culture is.•3) Globalization refers to the increasing unification of the world's economic order through reduction of such barriers to international trade as tariffs, export fees, and import quotas. It describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through communication, transportation, and trade. The term can also refer to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, or popular culture through acculturation.Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, onpolitical systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. Globalization is deeply controversial, however. Proponents of globalization argue that it allows poor countries and their citizens to develop economically and raise their standards of living, while opponents of globalization claim that the creation of an unfettered international free market has benefited multinational corporations in the Western world at the expense of local enterprises, local cultures, and common people. Resistance to globalization has therefore taken shape both at a popular and at a governmental level as people and governments try to manage the flow of capital, labor, goods, and ideas that constitute the current wave of globalization.Activity 2:Examine and analyze how technology influences the spatial processes of cultural convergence and divergence. Have students examine and analyze how communications and transportation technologies contribute to cultural convergence (i.e., how electronic media, computers, and jet aircraft connect distant places in a close network of contact through cross-cultural adaptation). How do they see themselves in this convergence? Students should draw a map and write an essay reflecting their findings. They should address the question: How does the role of technology affect the ways in which culture influences spread and influence the way people live?1.2 Questions for discussionWhat’s the author’s attitude towards globalization?Do you think globalization equals to Americanization?What’s your reaction to th e changed culture? Are you ready for this challenge?1.3 Synonyms for globalization: mixing, merging, fusion, blending2. Detailed study of the text2.1 Reading for the main ideaGlobalization is an inevitable historical process. There will be a diversity of cultures coexisting in the world, and these cultures are brought together not only by technology or business but more importantly by common aspiration and shared values. (Globalization will not lead to Americanization but a coexistence of transformed culture made possible by common aspiration and shared values of human beings.)2.2 Language pointssmallish: fairly smallseedy: shabby, rundownthrift shop: a shop that sells used articles, especially clothing, as to benefit a charitable organizationcatch on: become popular and fashionableoriginal: not derived from something else; fresh and unusual; newcome up with: think of an idea, plan or reply; producepunk: a type of loud violent music popular in the late 1970s and 1980smorph: turn into variants form without changing the essencegeek: performer of grotesque or depraved actschunky: short and thicktile: a marked playing piece, as in mahjong2.3 Text analysis⏹This is a piece of argumentation. The author approaches the issue of “globalization”from a historical perspective instead of a political or economic one.⏹Effective writing skill: the rhetorical device of contrastPart I (paras.1—3) the beginningGlobalization is a reality but it is not something completely new. What is new is the speed and scope of changes.Part II (paras.4—6) different views on globalizationPart III (paras.7—9) three points in this part: Westernization is not a straight road to hell, or to paradise either; Cultures are as resourceful, resilient, and unpredictable as the people who compose them; Teenagers are one of the powerful engines of merging global cultures.Part IV (paras.10—13) the author’s experience with Amanda Freeman, a cool hunterPart V (paras.14—19) in order to prove that fusion is the trend, the author used Tom Sloper and Mah-jongg as an example.Part VI (para.20) we should notice something in China.Part VII (paras.21—24) the cultural trends in ShanghaiPart VIII (paras.25—28) the author used the experience at Shanghai Theatre Academy to illustrate the point that the change is at the level of ideas.Part IX (paras.29—34) the author in this part introduced Toffler’s view on conflict, change and world order.Part X (para.35) linkingPart XI (para.36) changePart XII (paras.37—39) the author again used an example in Shanghai to illustrate the transformation of cultures.Part XIII (para.40) linking is humanity’s natural impulse.•Part I (Paras. 1-3) Globalization is a reality but it is not something completely new.
