Unit 1 Ways of LearningI. Teaching ObjectivesStudents will be able to:1. grasp the main idea (that it would be ideal if we can strike a balance between theChinese and the Western learning styles ) and the structure of the text (introduction of the topic by an anecdote一elaboration by comparison and contrast--conclusion by a suggestion);2. appreciate the difference between comparison and contrast, as well as different ways to compare and contrast (point by point method or one-side-at-a-time method);3. master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4. conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.II. Key Points:The structure, the writing skill, and the main idea of thetext will be the focus.Only a few words and sentences, which will be the obstacles for students’ understanding of the text, will be explained in class.III. Difficult Points:Some sentences whose meanings are difficult to understand and whose structuresare hard to analyze:1. Line 35-39（Para. 6）: Since adults know how to place the key in the key slot,which is the ultimate purpose of approaching the slot, and since the child isneither old enough nor clever enough to realize the desired action on his own, whatpossible gain is achieved by having him struggle?2. Line 70-71(Para.10): The idea that learning should take place by continualcareful shaping and molding applies equally to the arts.3. Line 100-102(Para.14): Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes,a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance betweenthe poles of creativity and basic skills?IV. Teaching Materials: ppt and materialsV. Teaching Methods: Lecturing, practicing and discussing.VI. Teaching Timing: 8 sessions of classVII. Teaching Process:1st -2nd periods:Pre-reading; Teacher’s Introductory Remarks and Students’ Discussion related to the topic.3rd -4th periods: While-Reading (Understanding the title of text A; Analyzing the organization of the text; Explaining Difficult sentences and language points in the text; Summing up the main idea of the text)5th-6th periods: Dealing with the exercises after Text A.Check on Ss’ home reading (Text B); Post-Reading Task: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks7th-8th periods: Listening and speaking tasks.A.

Unit 1 Ways of LearningI. Teaching ObjectivesStudents will be able to:1. grasp the main idea (that it would be ideal if we can strike a balance between theChinese and the Western learning styles ) and the structure of the text (introduction of the topic by an anecdote一elaboration by comparison and contrast--conclusion by a suggestion);2. appreciate the difference between comparison and contrast, as well as different ways to compare and contrast (point by point method or one-side-at-a-time method);3. master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4. conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.II. Key Points: The structure, the writing skill, and the main idea of thetext will be the focus. Only a few words and sentences, which will be the obstacles for students’ understanding of the text, will be explained in class.III. Difficult Points:Some sentences whose meanings are difficult to understand and whose structuresare hard to analyze:1. Line 35-39（Para. 6）: Since adults know how to place the key in the key slot,which is the ultimate purpose of approaching the slot, and since the child isneither old enough nor clever enough to realize the desired action on his own, whatpossible gain is achieved by having him struggle?2. Line 70-71(Para.10): The idea that learning should take place by continualcareful shaping and molding applies equally to the arts.3. Line 100-102(Para.14): Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes,a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance betweenthe poles of creativity and basic skills?IV. Teaching Materials: ppt and materialsV. Teaching Methods: Lecturing, practicing and discussing.VI. Teaching Timing: 8 sessions of classVII.

Unit 1Ways of LearningI. Teaching PlanningStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea (that it would be ideal if we can strike a balance between the Chinese and theWestern learning styles) and structure of the text(introduction of topic by an anecdote elaboration by comparison and contrast-conclusion by a suggestion);2.appreciate the difference between comparison and contrast, as well as different ways to compare andcontrast(point-by-point method or one-side-at-a-time method);3.master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.1. How much do you know about the difference between Chinese learning style and western one?2. Which one do you back up? Please state your reasons.1. Skimming1) Ss skim the passage and answer the Content Questions on Page 9:2)T tells Ss that there are many ways of introducing a topic (see T ext Analysis).Ss will decide which wayis adopted by Howard Gardner.3)T guides Ss through the directions for Text Organization Exercise 2 and Writing Strategy. Then Ss scanthe first sentence of both Para 6 and Para 7, and decide what method of comparison and contrast is used here (one-side-at-a-time method). Ss scan from Para 11 to Para 13, then decide what method of comparison and contrast is used here? (point-by-point method)2.Ss sum up the contrast between Chinese and Western ways to learn to fulfil a task (the Chinese show achild how to do something, or teach by holding his hand; Westerners teach a child to rely on himself forsolutions to problems).3.Ss sum up the contrast between the Chinese and the Western attitudes toward creativity and basic skills.(The Chinese give priority to developing skills at an early age, believing that creativity can be promoted over time; Westerners put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking that skills can be picked up later.)4.T tells Ss that there are many ways of concluding an essay (see Text Analysis).Ss decide whichway is used in this essay.5.T explains language points and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).1. Debate: Should we develop children’s creativity first or train them in basic skills first?1)Ss divide into two groups, one taking the side of creativity first, another taking the side of basicskills first.2)In each group, Ss further divide into smaller groups of three to four, brainstormingarguments \ examples \ statistics \ quotes \ etc. in support of their viewpoint, as well as those that could be used to refute the other side.3)Debate begins, with T acting as moderator.2.T guides Ss through several after-text exercises.3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B).4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare the next unit:1)do the pre-reading task;2）preview Text A.Ⅱ. Text AnalysisAn essay is usually made up of three parts: a beginning where the topic is introduced; the body part where the topic is elaborated on, and a conclusion.Besides stating the topic directly, there are many other ways to introduce a theme. In this text, an anecdote or an incident is used. The author of Text A, Unit 6, Book 1 (What Animals Really Think) introduces his topic by posing a question: “Do animals all have thoughts, what we call con sciousness?” Text B, Unit 3, Book 1 (How to Make Sense out of Science) begins by quoting newspaper headlines:“New Drugs Kill CancerDevastation by El Nino — a Warning6:30 p.m. October 26, 2028: Could This Be the Deadline for the Apocalypse?”Text B of this unit, Children and Money, begins with an imagined argument between a child and his parent over the control of pocket money. Discover other forms of introduction as you read on. However, the more important point is that you should learn to vary your own writing by adopting various types of topicintroduction.Without a conclusion, an essay lacks a sense of completeness. A conclusion may be a restatement of the main points previously mentioned, a proposed solution, a quotation from some book or person, a prediction of future developments, a suggestion for further study, etc. Text B, Unit 3, Book 1 ends by giving a simile, comparing scientific research to mountain climbing, “a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.” In this text, Howard Gardner makes a suggestion in the form of a question.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Education in the West: There is no common agreement in the West concerning the best method of education. A variety of views can be found among parents, teachers and students. Indeed, it might be argued that it is this very existence of contending points of view that is characteristic of Western education. This can be seen as far back as in the work of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who encouraged his students to question everything, even their most fundamental beliefs. Y et even then there was no general agreement that this was the best way to teach. Socrates, after all, was condemned to death by his fellow citizens for corrupting the morals of the young by his way of teaching. Many later periods of Western history were no more tolerant of encouraging students to challenge traditional beliefs: Darwin’s theory of evolution, for example, was for a time banned from schools in some American states on the grounds of religious belief.Much of the current debate over education surrounds the extent to which learning should be teacher-based or student-based. Which of the two should decide what should be learned, how it should be learned, and when it should be learned? Comparing Western and Asian methods of learning it is generally true that Western methods are more student-centred, expecting students to discover things for themselves rather than relying on their teachers to tell them. An extreme version of the student-centred approach can be seen at Summerhill, a school in England established by the educationalist A.S. Neill.There children have complete freedom to decide what they are going to learn and which lessons they will attend. If they wish they need not attend any at all. Mainstream education in England is far more strict, demanding that children attend lessons and follow a national curriculum. This curriculum and the importance of achieving good exam results tend to reinforce a more teacher-centred approach, as both teachers and students find the pressure of time leaves less opportunity for an exploratory approach to learning.The extent to which learning is teacher-centred or student-centred also depends on differences between subjects. In recent years, for example, there has been a trend in the teaching of mathematics in school classrooms in England away from having pupils work on their own or in small groups back towards a more traditional approach, with the teacher guiding the entire class step-by-step through a lesson. This followed research that suggested that, as far as maths was concerned, a more teacher-centred method was more effective.2. Standing on the shoulders of giants: a well-known phrase, frequently employed by inventors toexpress modesty about their achievements. The suggestion is that while they have been able to see further than those who came before them, it is not because they themselves are intellectual giants. Rather it is because they have been able to build upon the accumulated discoveries of their great predecessors.Ⅳ.
