dictation.Please take out a piece of paper and write down the words in English that I read in Chinese.Can you understand me?Ss:Yes.(Teacher begins to read out the Chinese meanings of the following words:central,civil,former,greedy,fierce,mental,physical.After that,teacher says the following:)T:Now exchange your paper with your partner to check them.(After a while)Have you finished?Ss:Yes.T:Now,please give your paper back to your partner.Look at the words written on your paper.Tell me what they have in common.Ss:They are all adjectives.T:Yes.Now,let’s do an exercise on

blackboard:injustice impossibleunhappy important disappear,and then says the following.)Look at the blackboard,please.Here are five words.Among them one word is different from the others.Can you pick it out?S9:The word “important”is different from the others.T:Pleae tell us why it is different.S9:I use the rules of word formation to pick it out.Because these words are all with some negative prefixes except “important”.The word “important”cannot be divided into two parts “im+portant”,if so,it will not be a complete word and lost its meaning.Am I right?T:Yes.you’re right.Do you know how to

thing.T:Good.Let’s go on.The second one,Li Jun,please.S11:The word “respect”is different.Because the word cannot be divided into two parts “re+spect”,if so,its meaning is lost,while the other words are made up of two parts:re+construction/cover/place/build.The prefix “re-”means “again”.T:Quite right.Next student,go on,please.S12:“Monument”is different from the others.Because we know when we add the suffix “-ment”to a verb,the verb will be changed into a noun,while the word “monument”doesn’t belong to the case.S13:“Post-war”is different.Because the prefixes“non-,un-,in-”in these words all mean “not”,while the prefix“post-”in the word“post-war”means“after”.S14:The word “entry”is different from the other words.Except “entry”,the others are adjectives.They all have a suffix “-y”,while “entry”doesn’t have.The “-y”in the word is not a suffix.S15:“Display”is different.We know “dis-”is a negative prefix,meaning “not”.When we add the prefix to a word,the word’s meaning is opposite,while “display”is not the opposite of the word “play”.T:You all did very well.Step ⅣGrammerT:Now,please look at the sentences on the screen.Rewrite the sentences on the screen using the correct non-finite passive form.Before doing them,let’s review non-finite verbs together.T and Ss:The verb that cannot be used as the predicate is called the non-finite verb.The “v.-ing,v.-ed or to do cannot act as the predicate,so we call them the non-finite verb.”T:OK.Do you know the passive form of the non-finite verb?S16:The passive form of them is separately “being done”“or“to be done”.(Teacher writes them on the blackboard.)T:Very good.Please finish the sentences on the screen.After a while,I’ll check your answers.Suggested answers:1.It is impossible for lost time to be made up.2.Rules are made to be broken.3.I don’t mind his being invited.4.She enjoys being interviewed.T:Well done!Turn to Page 46 and do Ex.1 in Grammar.Rewrite the following sentences using the correct non-finite passive

myself to be left alone.5.He insists on him being shown respect by us.6.Will they allow the book to be taken out of the library by anyone?T:Well,let’s go on with Ex.2.Read the article and then fill in

因为在美国，过分的道歉或自责反而显得不太诚恳，令人感到虚假或另有用心。
Some useful expressions：1 . Sorry / Pardon / I‘m sorry .2 . I’m sorry for/about…3 . I‘m sorry to do sth . / I’m sorry to have done sth…4 . Excuse me ( for… )5 . be afraid that…6 .

我们将本单元的学习设计成从美国的东部经南部到西部的一次文化旅行。
从美国的概况，东部城市（纽约和Ellis Island），南部城市（Atlanta），和西部大草原（bison）来了解美国，感受美国的变迁过程。
Period 1 Warming up &speaking本节课从一个“猜猜她是哪个国家”的游戏导入。
接着通过美国地图和一张表格来了解她的概况。
然后是一组图片（包括著名的城市和人物），目的是为听力和阅读做铺垫，降低难度。
再做一个对错小测试，增加学生对美国的了解。
根据游戏的做法进入口语部分。
要求学生写一小段文字描述一个场所，用上useful expression, 让其他学生猜猜是哪里。
在写之前先造句，掌握常用句型Are there…? There is …..in the north ..。
It is ….metres/ feet long/wide/ high/tall…. It looks like …..Period 2 Listening &Reading本节课的中心话题是东部城市纽约和Ellis Island，通过听力和阅读两个环节完成。
先从图片引出纽约城，进入听力。
她是美国甚至世界重要的城市，有必要增加一些信息量所以要求学生再阅读一段短文（从高三阅读文章中摘出3小段），增加信息量。
通过几个对错判断来检查学生的理解程度。
Period 3&4 Reading首先播放两小段视频。
一是描述美国南部过去灾难和战争的《飘》，另一个是展现Atlanta 的现代与富裕。
两者形成鲜明对比，自然导入本节课的学习内容。
Skimming通过回答问题了解文章的篇章结构和中心内容。
Scanning细节理解，主要是通过完成表格，来对比Atlanta 的今天和昨天，突出文章重点(明白Atlanta为什么是典型的南部城市及她又克服了哪些困难才成为一个现代的大都市)及对比性写作的特点。
听完课文录音后，要求学生完成一个任务设计，编一段对话。
假设你是一个历史系的学生来到Atlanta旅行，你的笔友带你参观Atlanta，你们一起讨论Atlanta的过去和现在。
通过对话编写来检查学生对课文的理解掌握，复习所学的内容。
最后拓展思维，不同文化背景的人生活在一个城市里，有何好处和不利之处。
Period 5 Language study由听写导入复习部分词汇。
然后复习构词法。
接着是复习非谓语的被动形式。
最后通过选择题全面检查学生对这语法项目的掌握情况。
Period 6 Integrating Skill由bison的图片导入阅读文章。
通过回答问题。
细节理解，对错判断。
完成图表，来了解美国西部历史上大规模屠宰野牛,破坏美洲草原生物链的教训.。
最后是写作任务。
采用对比手法，帮助美国学生了解你的家乡。
三．教学反思本单元的话题是美国，着重引导学生注意美国历史的变迁。
其实美国的文化，建筑，地理特征，名胜古迹，民间传说，民俗特色，政权形式，科学成就都很值得老师引导学生去了解，这对学好英语是有很大的帮助的。
尤其是能够体会领悟美国的社会特征和人文特点，在学生阅读文章时就能够减少好多障碍。
但是内容涉及很广，我们不可能在一个单元的时间内让学生都了解，但是应当鼓励学生上网或去图书馆查阅资料，自主学习。
同时也应该提醒学生思考中国和美国这两个国家的相似的地方和不同的地方，做一些比较。

Learn more about New YorkStep 1 Lead-inShow a picture of NY.T: Can you guess when the picture was taken?(it was taken before the date September 11,2001.)How do you know?(Because in the picture, we can see manyskyscrapers. Among them, the World Trade Centre and the Empire State Building are most famous, but now the World Trade Centre has already gone. It was exploded by terrorists.)Step 2. Listening1. T: Now let’s listen to a radio programme about New York to help Wang Xiaocorrect the errors in her notes. Turn to the next page. Let’s look at Ex.1 in the listening part.

After that, please correct his errors.Do EX12.T:OK.Now let’s listen to the tape again and then answer some concerned questions.

Please listen to Part 2 of the listening material and then choose the best answers to the question in Ex.3.(Teacher deals with Ex.3 in the same way. If necessary, play the tape again.)Step.3 ReadingNow let’s know more about NY by read the following material. (adapted from SB3 Lesson 49)New YorkNew York is built on a group of islands on the east coast of the USA at a point where several rivers flow into the ocean. The first westerner to discover these islands was Italian explorer in 1524. In 1626 the island of Manhattan was bought from local Indians, Native Americans, for a handful of goods worth about $24. Today Native Americans express their anger over this business deal. After the War of Independence ended, New York became the capital of the USA for a short time (1789--90) before Washington, D.C.The building of skyscrapers in New York began around the year 1900. Because Manhattan Island is made of solid rock, it is safe to build very tall buildings. A 55-stored building went up in 1913 , and in 1931 the Empire State Building was completed., then the tallest building in the world. It has 102 storeys and 73 lifts. From the top of it, you could see up to a distance of 130 kilometres on a clear day. Today it is no longer the tallest building in the USA, or even in New York. The World trade Centre , an office building for over 1200 firms employing about 50,000 people, is even higher at 411 metres. The twins towers are 110 storeys high, but high-speed lifts controlled by computer take only a minute to reach the top. The towers are further apart at the top than at the base, but this is no mistake. This is because the surface of the earth is not flat but round. But unfortunately the twin towers were destroyed by terrorist attack on Sep11,2001. …….New York never sleeps. The underground railway runs 24 hours a day, and there are all –night cinemas, bars and restaurants. Some people think that the weather is unpleasant, the city ugly and dirty, the competition fierce and the streetsunsafe. It is a city in a hurry, but a very exciting place to be.True or False1.New York is built on an island on the east coast of the USA.2.These islands were first discovered by an Italian explorer in 1524.3. New York became the capital of the USA for a short time after Washington, D.C.4.About a century ago the building of skyscrapers began in New York.5.Skyscrapers were mainly built on Manhattan Island.6. Because of a careless mistake, the twin towers of the World Trade Center are further apart at the top than at the base.Home work: Search the internet to find information about the south of the USA Period 3&4 Reading.Goal: 1.learn about the American south.2. Improve the reading ability3.
