Object Complement.Period 4Listening and SpeakingPeriod 5Reading and WritingPeriod 6Summing Up，Learning Tip and AssessmentPeriod 1Warming Up，Pre-reading，Reading and Comprehending整体设计教学内容分析This is the first teaching period of this unit.The central part of this period is the reading passage with the name of The Problem of the Snakes showing the students an invention so that students can identify its stages.Warming Up gives three pictures for students to discuss.The point of this exercise is to emphasis the difference between a discovery and an invention，letting students get some more knowledge about discoveries and inventions.Pre-reading aims to help students focus on the topic of the reading passage and make the students aware of the connection between inventing and the scientific process.Get students to put the stages into a suitable order.Reading mainly introduces the problem of the snakes that needed to be solved.There are some stages of dealing with snakes in making an invention correctly.The way the inventor goes about it and particularly her efforts to improve the solution are very important to the inventing process.There are three pictures in the passage and each of them is used to present a stage of catching the snakes.After a glance at the title of the text and the three pictures we know that it is to describe a thing about catching snakes，in which there are many stage expressions.Then we can understand the topic of the text and how the information is organized.Comprehending consists of three written or oral exercises for the students to do so as to help the students to get a better understanding of the text，that is to say，to help the teacher check how much the students have understood the text.三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1．To know the meanings of the following new words and phrases in this period：patent（专利），courtyard（院子），walnut（胡桃），distinguish（区别；辨别），merciful（宽大的；仁慈的；慈悲的），product（产品），powder（粉末），perfume（香味），stainless（无锈的；不锈的），cube（立方体），abruptly（突然地），convenient（就近的；方便的），caution（小心；谨慎），expectation（预料），passive（被动的；消极的），merrily（愉快地；高兴地），seize （抓住），criterion（标准），valid（有效的；确凿的），file（提交），call up（给……打电话），now and then（偶尔，有时），set about（开始，着手）．2．To learn about some inventions，make clear the difference between a discovery and an invention and introduce students to the role of the patent office in deciding what an invention is and what is not.3．To learn how the information is organized.4．To develop the students' reading ability by skimming and scanning the passage.5．To develop the students' speaking ability by talking about inventors and inventions.Process and methods1．While doing Warming Up the teacher can lead in the topic of this unit by showing students some pictures of inventors and inventions，introduce some technical terms concerning inventors and inventions and develop students' understanding of what an invention is.2．During Pre-reading the teacher can go around the classroom and discuss the questions with several students.This discussion should be student-centered and arouse students' interest in inventors and inventions.The teacher should also ask the students some questions and try to let them have a general knowledge of inventors and inventions.3．While doing Reading and Comprehending，the teacher may first ask the students to read the text quickly to get the general idea of each paragraph.After detailed reading of the passage，students are encouraged to answer some questions and discuss the text structure.4．To consolidate the contents of the reading passage，the students should be required to retell the text in their own words at the end of the class.Emotion，attitude and value1．To stimulate students to love science.2．To develop students' sense of cooperative learning.教学重点、难点1．To enable the students to learn about inventors and inventions and to develop their reading ability.2．To enable the students to talk about inventions.教学过程Step 1Warming up1．Warming up by looking and talkingShow the following pictures to the students and let them know which pictures show inventions and which show discoveries and talk about them.Ask the students to look at the pictures above and decide which are inventions and which are discoveries.Then ask the students to work with their partners and try to make a list of inventions and discoveries.At last ask them if they know any other inventions and discoveries（such as a car，an ancient tomb and so on）and try to talk about them.（Some new words：patent，product，powder，set about，abrupt，seize，merry，caution，valid...）2．Warming up by reading a passage.New Four Great Inventions in ChinaChina's new “Four Great Inventions” were recently announced，with hybrid rice（杂交水稻），Chinese character laser printing（汉字激光照排），synthetic bovine insulin（人工合成结晶胰岛素），and artemether compound tablets（复方蒿甲醚片）against malaria making the cut，Xinhua reported.According to Zhou Zhaolong，deputy director-general of southern China's Guangdong Association of Invention，one of the co-sponsors of the selection，China's “New Four Great Inventions” were voted for by both the public and experts in line with the requirement s that they be creative and original，have worldwide significance and have a big social impact.60 percent of the votes were cast online，while 40 percent were taken from experts.On top of the list is hybrid rice，which was first developed in 1973 by Chinese scientist Yuan Longping，thereafter called the “Father of Hybrid Rice”．The new breed has enabled China，with its immense population but comparatively limited area of arable land，to solve its long standing food problem and contribute a great deal to the world food industry.Another major breakthrough，the techniques for Chinese character laser printing，was developed by late scientist Wang Xuan，known as “Bi Sh eng，Father of Printing in Modern Times ”．First introduced to newspaper printing in December 1987，his techniques brought about a revolution in the printing and publishing industries.Allowing China's printing industry to bid farewell to its age of clay and lead printing，since being adopted Chinese laser printing has increased the efficiency of domestic printing，promoted the spread of Chinese culture，and had a far-reaching impact on the printing industries of other countries，including South Korea and Japan.Also，synthetic bovine insulin，which was fully developed in 1965 following 6 years of hard work by a group of Chinese scientists，was the first case of human beings synthesizing live proteins.The success made it possible for Chinese scientists to deflate the traditional concept that said synthetic live proteins were by definition impossible as life stems from nature.Synthetic bovine insulin marked a significant breakthrough in the field of life science and has substantially influenced human endeavors in finding out the secrets of life.Finally，artemether compound tablets，which were first developed in the mid-1980s by Chinese scientists，have proved to be the most effective anti-malaria medicine worldwide.With their brand-new chemical structure first discovered by Chinese，they are often compared to “Atom Bombs”，a milestone in the history of man's fight against malaria.Step 2Pre-readingAsk students if they know the stages every inventor must go through before they can have their invention approved.Encourage them to talk about it and look at the list on Page 19 to work out a suitable order.Suggested answers：1．Finding a problem2．Doing research3．Thinking of a creative solution4．Testing solution5．Deciding on the invention6．Applying for a patent Step 3Reading and comprehending1．Fast-reading：Ask students to skim the passage so as to get the key words and general idea of each paragraph and answer the question：What's the main idea of the text?________________________________________________________________________ Suggested answer：This text is mainly to introduce the writer's new idea of trapping the snakes and her application for a patent.2．Read the passage carefully，divide the passage into 4 parts and match the main idea of each part.Part 1（Paragraph ______）（1）the research on the approaches to solve the problem Part 2（Paragraphs ______）（2）the attempts to catch the snakesPart 3（Paragraphs ______）（3）the requirements of getting a patentPart 4（Paragraphs ______）（4）the discovery of the problem of the snakesSuggested answers：Part 1（Paragraph 1）（4）Part 2（Paragraphs 2-3）（1）Part 3（Paragraphs 4-6）（2）Part 4（Paragraphs 7-8）（3）3．Ask students to scan for detailed information and choose the best answer.（1）The biggest advantage of the writer's new idea is that ______.A．it makes the snakes move slowlyB．it makes the snakes hardly bite usC．it is easier for us to kill the snakes without hurting ourselvesD．it is easier for us to catch the snakes without killing them（2）How did the snakes react in the first attempt？______A．They escaped immediately.B．They bit the writer.C．They were very sleepy. D．They had no reaction.（3）In which order did the writer carry out the process of cooling the snakes?a．Took the bowl from the ice-cream maker.b．Placed the frozen bowl over the snakes' habitat.c．Prepared some ice-cubes to keep the bowl cool.d．Covered the bowl with a bucket and left everything overnight.e．Froze the bowl.A．a-e-b-c-d B．e-c-b-d-aC．e-a-c-d-b D．a-e-c-b-d（4）How did the writer catch the snakes?A．Using something the snakes were interested in to attract them into a trap.B．Taking their habitat to another place.C．Placing the snakes at a low temperature for them to sleep and then caught them.D．All the above.（5）According to the last paragraph，the criteria for a patent include the following items except ______.A．your product needs to be something smart that helps to make people's life easier and better B．your invention proves to be a copy from others' productC．a new way to make dirty water cleanD．the product you make needs to be really different from everybody else'sSuggested answers：（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）C（5）B4．Read the text carefully and then decide whether the following statements are true or false.（1）I bought an ice-cream maker made of aluminum.（）（2）The snakes are too big for me to handle.（）（3）The snakes are poisonous.（）（4）The snakes are finally sent to the zoo.（）（5）People who produced a new type of plant have the qualification to get a patent.（）（6）A patent will be published 18 months from the date you apply.（）Suggested answers：（1）F（2）F（3）T（4）F（5）F（6）FStep 4Language studyDeal with language problems if any（words or sentences students might not understand）to help the students to have a better understanding of the text.Step 5Listening，reading aloud and underliningAsk students to read the passage aloud to the tape and let them pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence.Tell them to pick out all the useful expressions or collocations from the passage while reading and copy them down in their notebooks after class as homework.Collocations：call up，now and then，set about，apply for a patent，in the expectation，seize the opportunity to do，distinguish oneself...Step 6Structure analyzingAfter reading，ask students to discuss the text structure.Keys for reference：The aim of this passage is two-fold.It is to describe an invention so that students can identify its stages.But it is also to show that inventions are not necessarily important enough to make a lot of money.It mainly introduces the problem of the snakes that needed to be solved.It is the writer's new idea of trapping the snakes and her application for a patent.It includes the discovery of the problem of the snakes，the research on the approaches to solving the problem，the attempts to catch the snakes and the requirements of getting a patent.Step 7RetellingAsk students to talk about the stages in the inventing process in their own words.Give them some key words on the blackboard.Then let them try to retell the passage.Keys for reference：My mother wanted me to get rid of the snakes that were in our courtyard.The snakes must be removed but not harmed.I did some research and looked for methods of removal and the habits of snakes.I thought of a creative solution.There were three possible approaches and I chose the last one.I tested the solution several times and tried three times to make it work efficiently.At last，I filled in the form and filed patent application with the Patent Office.Step 8Homework1．Learn the useful new words and expressions in this period by heart.2．Try to find more pictures of inventions and talk about them.Step 9Reflection after teaching________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________。

人教版高中英语选修8Unit3《Inventorsandinventions》word教案【美文阅读】Wireless charging for mobile phones by 2020近日，日本的富士通公司宣布，他们开发出了一套能为手机等便携式电子设备无线充电的系统。
Fujitsu，a Japanese technology company，has created a system capable of simultaneously(同时地) charging many portable electronic devices such as mobile phones，digital cameras and laptops without the need for cable(电缆)connections.Electric car users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology according to Fujitsu，which displayed a model system at an Institute of Electronics，Information and Communication Engineers conference.Claiming to be the world's first of its kind，the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic(磁的)fields between the charger and the electronic device.The system makes it possible to charge wirelessly at distances of up to several meters，and Fujitsu aims to provide public “charging spots” on the streets in order to provide easy charging day and night.Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories are planning to commercially sell products combining the new wireless charging system as early as 2020.Mobile phone users in Japan can currently charge their batteries using portable battery devicesavailable at most train stations and convenience stores－although phone companies warn this can damage the phones.The new system invented by Fujitsu，however，is much more advanced and represents the next generation of portable recharging systems using flexible wireless technology.The company added，“We are also looking at applying the results of thiswork to fields other than portable electronics，including power transmission between circuit boards(电路板) or computer chips，and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars.”【诱思导学】1．How does the wireless charging technology work?____________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】It works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device.2．When can consumers probably buy products using the new wireless charging system?______________________________________________【答案】As early as 2020.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时要紧是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所显现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，为下一堂课对课文的全面明白得起到一个铺垫作用。

teaching________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________教学参考Ten inventions that changed the worldTo mark its centenary，in June the Science Museum in London had its curators select the 10 objects in its collection that had made the biggest mark on history.These then went to a public vote to find the most important invention of the past centuries.Visitors to the museum and online voters cast nearly 50 000 votes.Find out the winners below.1．WinnerWith 9581 votes，the medical X-ray radiograph was deemed the most important invention in the Science Museum.In 1895 the physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays，the “X” signifying their then-unknown origin.He later found that the rays could pass through flesh and by using photographic plates could make images of bones inside the body.This X-ray of Röntgen's wife's hand was taken in December 1895 and is the oldest surviving X-ray image of a part of the human body.Andy Adam，president of the British Royal College of Radiologists，said，“Radiology is the most exciting and fast-developing speciality in modern medicine.The discovery of X-rays brought this discipline into existence and has benefited countless patients.”X-ray brochure,1930sThis cover of an advertising trade leaflet was produced by the equipment manufacturers Watson & Sons.By the 1930s，X-ray equipment was in widespread use for the diagnosis of a broad range of ailments，from broken bones to tumors and tuberculosis.X-ray machineThis X-ray set was made by Russell Reynolds just months after Röntgen's breakthrough.It is one of the oldest in the world and provided some of the first glimpses inside the human body that didn't need a scalpel.2．PenicillinSecond place—6825 votesFungal spores that drifted through these windows in central London led Alexander Fleming to discover the first antibiotic in 1928.By the mid-1940s，work in the UK and US led to the first penicillin reaching patients.That development marked the start of a wave of new drugs that have made a diagnosis of a bacterial infection far less threatening than it once was.3．DNA double helixThird place—6725 votesThis reconstruction of the first ever model of the DNA molecule contains some of theoriginal parts used by Francis Crick and James Watson in 1953.Their breakthrough made it possible to understand both how organisms pass on their genes and how the workings of cells are governed.And with genome sequencing becoming ever cheaper，we're only going to become more familiar with it.4．Apollo 10 capsuleFourth place—4649 votesForty years ago，three men travelled around the moon in this capsule as a rehearsal for the first moon landing，which took place two months later.5．V2 rocket engineFifth place—3985 votesIt powered a weapon used by the losing side in the Second World War，but the V2，invented in 1942，shaped the world for decades afterwards.The rocket's creator，Wernher von Braun，moved to the US after the war，where he worked on the nascent intercontinental ballistic missile program.He then worked for NASA，where he masterminded the Saturn V rocket that launched Apollo 11 to the moon.6．Stephenson's RocketSixth place—3533 votesBy achieving record-breaking speeds en route to winning the 1829 Rainhill trials in Lancashire，UK，Rocket steered the world towards mobile power instead of fixed engines pulling on ropes.Its designers，Robert Stephenson and Company，built it according to basic principles that became a standard for steam locomotives，carrying people and goods around the globe for well over a century.History could easily have been different.Another locomotive named Lucky proved capable of outperforming Rocket in the trials，but was less reliable.7．Pilot ACE ComputerSeventh place—3472 votesOne of the earliest general-purpose electronic computers，Pilot ACE ran its first program on 10 May 1950.At the time，it was the fastest computer in the world.The computer's design was a smaller version of a design by computing pioneer Alan Turing.Pilot ACE was selected because of its place in the first generation of computers that spawned the machines which surround us today.8．The atmospheric engineEighth place—3457 votesThe atmospheric engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712.This model was built to his design by Francis Thompson at a colliery in Derbyshire，UK，in 1791 and is the oldest Newcomen-type engine to survive complete and largely unaltered.The atmospheric engine solved the energy crisis of its day and heralded the start of the industrial revolution.It unlocked previously unreachable coal reserves by pumping water out of deep mines.Although this triumph of engineering arguably marks the start of the industrial age we still inhabit，it also marks the point that our dependence on fossil fuels really began.9．Model T FordNinth place—3231 votesThrough pioneering new ideas about mass production，the Ford Motor Company brought motoring within the reach of a huge new market.“Fordism” became a familiar metaphor for production of anything in large quantities，a philosophy that is now standard business practice.10．The electric telegraph10th place—2694 votesCharles Wheatstone and William Cooke patented the world's first successful electrictelecommunications device in 1837.Their telegraph was the first practical use of electricity for long-distance communication and led to the first public communications network.Those networks have been growing in strength，capacity and importance ever
