高二英语选修七_Unit3_Reading_优质教案
Unit3 Reading优质教案教材分析Warming Up provides two activities to spark students' interest in the topic. Of course,before the class,the students must have gathered some information to make preparations for this class. Many kinds of their favorite sea animals are presented in their vivid pictures. Students are encouraged to introduce them using some new expressions such as at an aquarium,on a snorkelling trip.Pre-reading is designed to further stimulate their interest in the topic of the unit. Meanwhile,students may have some basic information about the text.The reading passage Old Tom the Killer Whale tells about two anecdotes witnessed by the writer himself. The teacher can first get students to skim the text for the characters in the two anecdotes and get the main idea of each anecdote. Then let them scan for further understanding. In order to let students pay attention to the writer's vivid description,the teacher can ask them to do a blank-filling exercise in pairs to find out some key verbs and verb phrases. Having done this,students must have had a very clear understanding of the whole hunting and saving process. To make their understanding easier,the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading. And then underline some useful words and expressions.For further thinking,students are expected to work in pairs or groups. They will discuss the problems and work out the answers cooperatively,choosing a reporter in their group. Students will think actively,so various answers are possible.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage,students should be required to retell the passage in the name of Old Tom or the baleen whale or James with as many key words as possible.At the end of the class,by holding a debate,the teacher can arouse students' interest further as well as make them aware of the relationship between man and animals and the importance of banning whaling.三维目标知识目标1.Get students to learn the useful new words and expressions in this part:anecdote,annual,witness,accommodation,shore,opposite,yell,pause,telescope,teamwork,dive,depth,lip,urge,abandon,shark,relationship,help...out.2.Let students learn about several different types of whales,especially the killer whales.能力目标1.Enable the students to learn to talk about their favorite sea animals.2.Develop students' reading ability by learning to read about the killer whales and let them learn different learning skills.3.Develop their creative thinking ability.情感目标1.Arouse students' great interest in sea animals.2.Make them aware of the relationship between man and animals and the importance of banning whaling.3.Develop students' sense of cooperative learning.教学重点1.Reading comprehension to the text.2.Learning more about the killer whales and understanding the relationship between the killer whales and the whalers.3.Important words and expressions.教学难点1.The relationship between the killer whales and the whalers.2.Develop students' reading ability.教学方法1.Individual,pair and group work.2.Task-based teaching and learning.3.Quiz,discussion,blank-filling,retelling,debate.教学工具A computer and a projector.教学过程Step 1Warming up1.Ask some students to show some pictures of their favorite sea animals and introduce them to the class.The introduction should cover these aspects:·The English and Chinese name of your favorite sea animal.·Where did you find it?·Some features of it,its distribution,or living condition.

George ran ahead_of_ clancy.Clancy raced_after him.They jumped_into_the boat with the other whalers and headed_out into the bay.During and after the huntThe killers' action:A pack of killers are throwing_themselves on top of the whale's blow-hole to_stop it breathing;some others are stopping it fleeing_out to sea.The killers started racing_between the whalers' boat and the whale,just like a pack of excited dogs.Within a moment or two,the whale's body was dragged_down_into the depths of the sea.The whalers' reaction:The man in the bow of the boat aimed a harpoon at the whale and let it go to hit the spot.Started turning the boat around to go home.Anecdote two:The dangers facing James:(1)He was washed_off_the boat and was carried_away_by rough waves.(2)There was a shark out there.The help offered by Old Tom:(1)Old Tom wouldn't_let_the shark near.(2)Old Tom firmly held James up in the water.2.Reading aloud and underlining expressions.Students read the text aloud to the tape and underline all the expressions in the text.Put them down into their notebooks after class as homework.Suggested answers:Collections:at the time,witness sth.with one's own eyes many times,sort out my accommodation,in time to do sth.,crash down,yell out,ahead of,flee out to sea,aim at,let sth.go,be dragged swiftly down into the depths of the sea,in the meantime,have a good feed on sth.,be carried further and further away,be firmly held up in the water3.Reading,identifying and settling.Students skim the text once again and identify the difficult sentences.Let them try analyzing the structures of the difficult sentences and discuss them among their group members.They may also turn to the teacher for help.·...George didn't like being kept waiting...·...I could see a whale being attacked by a pack of about six other killers.·Being badly wounded,the whale soon died.·...I could see he was terrified of being abandoned by us.Step 5DiscussionAfter the students read the passage,ask them to discuss the following questions in groups and then report to the class.1.Why has the killer whale got the name Old Tom?2.Do you like killer whales?Why or why not?Suggested answers:1.Old Tom is a person's name. In my opinion,the reasons why the killer in the text is called so may be two. For one thing,the killer that showed the whalers the way to the hunt and saved James must be a male killer whale because Tom is a man's name. For another,the whalers called it Old Tom,just as they were calling a man. That is to say,the whalers treated it as their dear friend. In the meantime,the killer itself must be very friendly to the whalers and helped them a lot in hunting in the sea. In return,the killer can get part of the baleen whale as its food. So to some extent,the whalers and killers are depending on each other. They cooperated well and lived in harmony with one another.2.I like killer whales because when James fell off the boat,the killer whale not only protected him from being drowned but also wouldn't let the shark near. They are so clever and friendly to human beings. What's more,they worked as a team,which should be learned by us when we are working.I don't like them. Though they are clever and friendly to us,they are too fierce. To my great surprise,they should eat the flesh of another whale. I could hardly believe it. I have never heard of one animal killing his families and even eating their meat. How pitiful it is!Step 6Further-thinking1.What else do you think is amazing in the story?Show your evidence.2.What is an anecdote?Suggested answers:1.I think it is so amazing that we human beings should use one animal to attack or hunt another animal even his own family members,just like dogs that help hunters hunt animals.I think that the killer will return the body of the baleen whale instead of keeping it or eating it up is very amazing. But I guess the killer whales are just fond of the taste of the baleen whale's lips and tongue. Or they just want to share it with the whalers in return for their cooperation.2.According to the text,as far as I am concerned,an anecdote must be an exciting or amazing story.Step 7ConsolidationAsk students to retell the passage with the help of their worksheet.1.Please retell either of the two anecdotes in the name of Old Tom,the baleen whale or James. Your anecdote should at least consist of two paragraphs:Paragraph one:about the writer,time,place and what happenedParagraph two:detailed information about the anecdoteFor reference:Step 8DebateThe last whaling station in Australia closed in 1978.Whales are now an endangered species and protected by an international ban,but some countries oppose the ban. In groups discuss the reasons for and against banning whaling.Step 9Homework1.Write down the useful new words and expressions,then learn them by heart.2.Write down an anecdote in the name of Old Tom,the baleen whale or James.。

Have you done that? Now who would like to tell about a time you had these feelings?Then ask some Ss to tell about the times they had feelings like these.Possible descriptions:Sa: I had a day of pure magic last summer. My parents took me for a tour in Benxi, Liaoning Province. When we went into a cavern, we saw icicle-shaped stalactites (钟乳石) grotesque in shape, hanging from the roof of the cavern. When the stalactites were lighted by the colorful lights, they looked extraordinary beauty. Then we took a boat floating on the river, it was very dark. Our boat hit the rock of the bank now and then, making my heart beating wildly. The exploring tour was the most fantastic thing I have ever done.Sb: You really had a magic day! When I went to the Great Wall, I also had a fantastic feeling. You see, when I was climbing a narrow iron ladder straight up to a high watchtower, I felt scared to death and my heart was beating wildly. But when I reached the top of the watchtower and looked out over the mountains, every cell in my body woke up. My mood was extraordinary good and it was like discovering a whole new dimension of life.Sc: The time I spent at Shengya—the World under the Sea, an aquarium in Dalian, may be compared with yours. When I got into the aquarium under the sea, I felt like discovering a whole new dimension of life. A variety of beautiful fish and many other ocean animals, which I couldn’t call their names, were swimming around and the colorful sea plants were waving softly following the current of the sea. Seeing such extraordinary beauty in the world, I felt every cell in my body woke up. That wasreally a day of pure magic.StepⅡWriting (1)T: In last period we read a dairy, in which the writer used very beautiful words and phrases to describe colours, patterns, shapes and behaviour of the animals. Now please write a paragraph to describe a place and the plants or animals there. You can read the third and the fourth paragraph of the dairy as model for your own writing. Five or six minutes later I’ll check your work.The Ss will read the third and fourth paragraph before they start writing. When they are writing, the teacher should walk around to see if they have any problems to deal with. Five or six minutes later, show one or two copies on the screen and check them with the whole class.Sample writing:When we came into the arboretum, our sight was attracted by all the vivid colours of varieties of flowers at once—reds, yellows, purples, white, blue, pinks, oranges and so on. I loved Lilies very much, which were shaped like horns. The white ones were the most sweet-smelling with large size; the pink ones were beautiful in both colour and sweet and the orange ones were vivid in colour with no sweet and small size. I loved Roses the best. They have all advantages in the large flower sizes, good-looking shapes, rich colours and sweet smell. A new type of Rose named Blue Yaoji was so charming that I just wanted to kiss the gem-blue flowers. The Butterfly Orchids were both rare and beautiful. They came from Taiwan Province with a long bloom time. They got the name Butterfly Orchids because of the flower shapes badly like butterflies. Most of them were purples and white. But I found a yellow kind, on which the flowers were a bit small like yellow jade. They were really beautiful. Seeing the extraordinary beauty, I felt every cell in my body woke up. It was like discovering a whole new dimension of life.Step Ⅲ SpeakingSpeaking and writing P27T: In our daily life, we sometimes meet with something unpleasant and make complaint. So when you go to another country, you should learn to complain politely,then you may get a good solution. Look at the three situations on Page 27. Have you ever met these situations in your life? What did you say at that time? Or what will you say if you are in such situations? Think about it. ... Now read the expressions above the situations and see how they can help you to make complaint for each of the situation. Then work in pairs, choose one situation and make up a dialogue for it. After a while, check their work by asking several pairs to act out their dialogues. Possible dialogue 1:Sa: You see, I missed my flight, official.Sb: Don’t worry. You can take the next flight. We won’t charge more.Sa: You won’t charge more? I mean I’d like a refund, please.Sb: I’m sorry but we don’t have that term.Sa: I missed my fli ght because you didn’t announced the delay of the flight over the loudspeaker. You delayed my tour and you bear responsibility for it.Sb: Let’s try to find a better solution.Possible dialogue 2:Sa: Waiter!Sb: Yes?Sa: The fish I ordered tastes terrible. I’d like to talk to the manager.Sb: I’m sorry.I’m the manager. I’ll ask them to change the fish for you at once.Sa: That’s not good enough. Coming here to have a meal should be a pleasant thing, how can you offer me such bad food. I’m feeling very un satisfied with your service. Sb: I’m sorry. But how can we make you satisfied?Sa: I’d lik e a good dish and a full refund.Sb: I’m afraid we can’t do that. But we can send you another dish.Possible dialogue 3:Sa: Look at the trousers! They are too short for me.Sb: I’m sorry. Let me have a look at them. Well, don’t worry, I can mend them for you.Sa: That’s no good for me. I’m not feeling happy about a pair of mended trousers.

You may feel it difficult to retell such a long story. Don’t worry. Turn to Page 68. Look at the topic sentences of each paragraph, using them as a guide. Then you will find it easier to tell the story. Now work with your partner, take turns to tell the story.Show the topic sentences on the screen. Ask a student to retell the story before the class. Then get the Ss to write down the story individually, using the topic sentences as a guide.Sample writing:Sedna was a lovely and beautiful Inuit girl and she didn’t want to get married because she loved her father very much and didn’t want to leave her father alone. But her father told her that she must marry a man. So the next day Sedna agreed to marry a stranger, who promised her a good life. But when she followed the man to his place, she discovered that her husband was a bird! Sedna felt so unhappy that she cried every day, calling her father’s name. When her father heard the crying of his daughter, he decided to help her to escape. When the bird man found that his wife was not there, he was so angry that he caught up with the canoe, which Sedna and her father were paddling back, and caused a sea storm. Sedna’s father was so frightened of the bird man that he threw Sedna into the sea. As Sedna sank to the bottom of the ocean, she became a sea goddess. From then on, The Inuit believe that Sedna has power over the animals in the sea, so they show her great respect, especially after they catch sea animals.T: Very good. Now read the questions in the table of Ex 4 to assess your own writing, revising and making corrections if necessary.After they have finished writing, let them assess their own writings and their partners’ according to the table in Ex 4. This activity will help the Ss to find their problems and improve their writing ability.。

They will discuss the problems and work out the answers cooperatively,choosing a reporter in their group. Students will think actively,so various answers are possible.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage,students should be required to retell the passage in the name of Old Tom or the baleen whale or James with as many key words as possible.At the end of the class,by holding a debate,the teacher can arouse students' interest further as well as make them aware of the relationship between man and animals and the importance of banning whaling.三维目标知识目标1.Get students to learn the useful new words and expressions in this part:anecdote,annual,witness,accommodation,shore,opposite,yell,pause,telescope,teamwork,dive,depth,lip,urge,abandon,shark,relationship,help...out.2.Let students learn about several different types of whales,especially the killer whales.能力目标1.Enable the students to learn to talk about their favorite sea animals.2.Develop students' reading ability by learning to read about the killer whales and let them learn different learning skills.3.Develop their creative thinking ability.情感目标1.Arouse students' great interest in sea animals.2.Make them aware of the relationship between man and animals and the importance of banning whaling.3.Develop students' sense of cooperative learning.教学重点1.Reading comprehension to the text.2.Learning more about the killer whales and understanding the relationship between the killer whales and the whalers.3.Important words and expressions.教学难点1.The relationship between the killer whales and the whalers.2.Develop students' reading ability.教学方法1.Individual,pair and group work.2.Task-based teaching and learning.3.Quiz,discussion,blank-filling,retelling,debate.教学工具A computer and a projector.。

U n i t3U n d e r t h e s e a1. 教材分析本单元以大自然中的海底世界为话题, 以谈论海底世界的动植物为切入点,让学生在交流中发现和了解大自然的奇妙和美丽;通过阅读奇闻故事,使学生从一个侧面了解人类与动物的关系;一篇与海底动植物相处的感受的日记,把学生带入人与自然和谐相处的美好境界。
本单元用梯次递进的方式让学生运用已有的自然知识、亲身体验、所掌握的语言知识和技能,在阅读、听新闻和专家评述、讨论、写故事、编剧本、排练演出等多项语言功能运用的过程中,深入学习、了解海洋动植物和大自然,并学习用英语表达对它们的感受、关切和热爱,从而在学习和运用语言的同时,强化对海洋生物和大自然的保护意识。
本单元实现了语言学习和传播先进思想的完美统一。
1.1 Warming Up设计了两个活动。

紧接着是小组活动,要求学生将已知的海洋动植物列表归纳,并谈论自己最喜爱的海洋动物或植物。
这一部分的设计为下一步的课文学习以及后边的听、说、读、写在内容方面打下了伏笔。
1.2 Pre-reading是Reading文图并茂的内容简介。
