Professor Yuan's breakthrough scientific achievement led to the world's first successful and widely grown hybrid rice varieties, revolutionizing rice cultivation in China and tripling production over a generation. His approach to rice breeding then spread internationally throughout Asia and to Africa and the Americas, providing food for tens of millions and leading to his becoming known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice."Step 4. ReadingReading aloud to the recordingComprehension—understanding what you are reading—is important. To read in thought groups is an easy, yet effective, way of improving reading comprehension. Now turn to page 9 and read aloud to the recording of the text A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE. Pay attention to the thought groups in the sentences while listening and reading aloud.A brief introduction:Yuan Longping is known as China’s “father of hybrid rice”. It’s said that in China, we eat depending on “Two Ping” ---- Deng Xiaoping, who made the policy of System of Production Responsibility, & Yuan Longping, who invented hybrid rice.Yuan Longping, who was born in September, 1930, graduated from Agriculture Department in Southwest Agricultural Institute. He has been working on agriculture education & the research into hybrid rice since he left the institute.In the 1960s, when China was suffering from serious famine, he came up with the idea of hybrid rice, which has a high yield ( or output). Ten years later, he succeeded in inventing a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice.Yuan devoted himself to the research into agriculture, & was honored by UNESCO & FAO(联合国教科文组织). Although he is 74 years old, he is still working on the research into agriculture.Period 2 ReadingStep 1 Lead-in.. Listen to the tape carefully then answer these questions.1)When and who did become the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output?2)What did Yuan Longping invent?Step2. Read the passage once again,then find out these sentences true or false.1)Dr Yuan is more a farmer than a scientist.2 )Dr Yuan’s kind of rice is the most suitable for China’s farmland.3)Dr Yuan would rather work than relax.4 )Dr Yuan has dreams when he is asleep and also when he is awake.5 )Dr Yuan enjoys a simpler life than most rich and famous people.Step3. Find out the topic sentences of each paragraphPara. 1: He became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output.Para.2:He has devoted his life to finding ways to grow more and more rice..Para.3:He cares little about spending the money on himself and would rather keep time for his hobbies.Para.4 Dr. Yuan’s dreams.Step4. Write down Yuan Longping’s personal informationIn pairs, read the text, find information to complete the following form.Step 5 Language points:1. Struggle for…为争取……而斗争Struggle against…为反对……而斗争Struggle with… 与……争斗1)The swimmer struggled against the tide.2)We had to struggle with/against all kinds of difficulties.3)The slaves struggled for the freedom2. 使做…成为… make +it +adj./n. +to do好天气使游泳成为可能The fine weather makes it possible( for us )to swim.他将每早跑步做为一个规则He makes it a rule to run every morning.其他可用这种结构的词:feel, find, think, consider…3.搜查,搜索search (sb. / sth.) for …He searched all the rooms for the missing person.They searched the man all over for money.4.由于,多亏thanks to 相当于because of5.是从前两倍那么多twice as large as before相当于once larger than before6.对……感到满意be satisfied with…相当于be pleased withadj. satisfactory/satisfyingn. satisfaction7.在乎,在意care about比较care forMy aunt cared for me when my parents were away last week.Dr Yuan never cares about money and fame.8. Indeed, his sunburn face and arms and his slim, strong body are like those of millions of other Chinese farmers.e.g: The streets in Beijing are wider than those in my hometown.The number of students in our school is larger than that in their school.9. Dr Yuan grows what is called super hybrid rice.e.g: He came to what is called America.10. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one -third more of the crop in the same fields.e.g: That made it possible for life to begin to develop.The development of science makes it possible for us to know more about the universe.11. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice (that could feed more people).e.g: He went to the U.S with the hope of finding a better job there.Step 6Closing down by having a dictationTo end the peri od you will take a dictation. It is about Yuan Longping, “Father of Super hybrid rice”.Yuan Longping, China's Most Famous "Farmer"Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the world in 1960s. Since then, 50 percent of China's total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to the country's grain output. Furrows grown on his sunburnt face, a slim figure and coiled-up trousers legs would confuse foreign reporters who came to interview themost famous scientist in China, who would rather be called “a farmer”. Indeed, like many Chinese farmers, Yuan in his 70s and has devoted most of his life growing rice in paddy fields, but unlike those farmers, he reaps the seed from experimental fields only for hybridizing rice.Unit2 Working the landListening, Speaking and WritingLearning AimsTo help students read the passage Organic Farming.To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing.ProceduresI.Warming up by listening and reading aloudLanguage is created to be listened to and spoken first.

Lead-in.Poem By Li ShenFarmers weeding at noon,Sweat down the field soon.Who knows food on a tray,Due to their toiling day.Then let one student recite the poem in Chinese.Step 2. Warming up by questioningHello, everyone. We shall read about man who works the land today. Have you ever grown any plants? If not, what kind of plant would you like to grow? How will you grow it?(For reference: Mr. Li, I worked with my father in the rice field last year. We grow hybrid rice and use animal wastes to make the soil rich.)Has anyone of you ever been to the countryside? What did you do there?(For reference: I went to Chuankou the day before yesterday. It is a small mountain village 75 li north of Beijing. I went there to visit my uncle’s family. I like that small beautiful village very much. )Who are from a farmer’s family? What do you know about farming?Step 3. Pre-reading and talkingQuestioning and answeringRice is main food in South China. What do you think would happen if tomorrow there was suddenly no rice to eat?(For reference: Then the south people would have to change their eating habit. They could turn to potatoes, wheat flour, cow and sheep cheese, cabbage, onions and garlic for food. They are the bases of the traditional food in North China. )If you had the chance to do one thing to help end hunger in the world, what would you do?(For reference: I would try to end hunger by popularizing the advanced farming techniques. Modern techniques could be introduced to increase the rice output, and expand the area of fields.) Giving background information about Professor Yuan LongpingHave you ever heard of a man called Professor Yuan Longping? Would anyone of you tell the class something about him?(For reference: Professor Y uan Longping is a Chinese agricultural scientist. Professor Yuan's breakthrough scientific achievement led to the world's first successful and widely grown hybrid rice varieties, revolutionizing rice cultivation in China and tripling production over a generation. His approach to rice breeding then spread internationally throughout Asia and to Africa and the Americas, providing food for tens of millions and leading to his becoming known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice."Step 4. ReadingReading aloud to the recordingComprehension—understanding what you are reading—is important. To read in thought groups is an easy, yet effective, way of improving reading comprehension. Now turn to page 9 and read aloud to the recording of the text A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE. Pay attention to the thought groups in the sentences while listening and reading aloud.A brief introduction:Yuan Longping is known as China’s ―father of hybrid rice‖. It’s said that in China, we eat depending on ―Two Ping‖ ---- Deng Xiaoping, who made the policy of System of Production Responsibility, & Yuan Longping, who invented hybrid rice.Yuan Longping, who was born in September, 1930, graduated from Agriculture Department in Southwest Agricultural Institute. He has been working on agriculture education & the research into hybrid rice since he left the institute.In the 1960s, when China was suffering from serious famine, he came up with the idea of hybrid rice, which has a high yield ( or output). Ten years later, he succeeded in inventing a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice.Yuan devoted himself to the research into agriculture, & was honored by UNESCO & FAO(联合国教科文组织). Although he is 74 years old, he is still working on the research into agriculture. Step 5 课后反思:Period 2 ReadingStep 1. Lead-in. Listen to the tape carefully then answer these questions.1)When and who did become the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output?2)What did Yuan Longping invent?Step2. Read the passage once again,then find out these sentences true or false.1)Dr Yuan is more a farmer than a scientist.2)Dr Yuan’s kind of rice is the most suitable for China’s farmland.3)Dr Yuan would rather work than relax.4)Dr Yuan has dreams when he is asleep and also when he is awake.5)Dr Yuan enjoys a simpler life than most rich and famous people.Step3. Find out the topic sentences of each paragraphPara. 1: He became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. Para.2:He has devoted his life to finding ways to grow more and more rice..Para.3:He cares little about spending the money on himself and would rather keep time for his hobbies.Para.4 Dr. Yuan’s dreams.Step4.

Indeed, his sunburn face and arms and his slim, strong body are like those of millions of other Chinese farmers.e.g: The streets in Beijing are wider than those in my hometown.The number of students in our school is larger than that in their school.9. Dr Yuan grows what is called super hybrid rice.e.g: He came to what is called America.10. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one -third more of the crop in the same fields.e.g: That made it possible for life to begin to develop.The development of science makes it possible for us to know more about the universe.11. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice (that could feed more people).e.g: He went to the U.S with the hope of finding a better job there.Step 2. Closing down by having a dictationTo end the period you will take a dictation. It is about Yuan Longping, ―Father of Super hybrid rice‖.Yuan Longping, China's Most Famous "Farmer"Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the world in 1960s. Since then, 50 percent of China's total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to the country's grain output. Furrows grown on his sunburnt face, aslim figure and coiled-up trousers legs would confuse foreign reporters who came to interview the most famous scientist in China, who would rather be called ―a farmer‖. Indeed, like many Chinese farmers, Yuan in his 70s and has devoted most of his life growing rice in paddy fields, but unlike those farmers, he reaps the seed from experimental fields only for hybridizing rice.Step 3 课后反思:Period 4 Listening, Speaking and WritingLearning Aims:To help students read the passage Organic Farming.To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing.Teaching Procedures:Step 1.

Today we鈥檒l learn a famous man. Who will it be? At first let鈥檚look at the two pictures on Page 9. What are the people doing? Ss: They are planting rice. T: Can you tell me something about rice? S: Rice grows in the south. S: But in some place of the north we can also find rice. T: Yeah. You are right. In fact rice is a cereal grain that has been grown for at least 5,000 years and is eaten by 2.4 billion people everyday throughout the world. In Australia, farmers have had to struggle with their harsh environment to grow rice. Ss: Really? Step 鈪?Warming up T: Have you ever grown any plants? If so, what did you do to grow them? If not, what kind of plant would you like to grow? How will you grow it? S: I have ever grown corn and potatoes. In autumn, my father and I ploughed the soil deep for the first time, then in the next spring, we ploughed the soil for a second time, this time I put the corn seeds into the tunnel following my father. Finally my father covered the corn seeds by ploughing again. T: Very well. Have you ever been to the countryside? What did you do there? S: Yes, I went there to see my grandfather. In the village I played with other boys in the little stream and caught little fish. I even helped my grandfather get in the corn by cutting the corn stems, which made me tired. T: Areyou from a farmer鈥檚family? What do you know about farming? S: Yes, my father is a farmer. In my view, farming is hard work. People have to plant crops, smooth away weeds and get in the crops at the right time. They have to get up early to work in the field so as to protect themselves from the sunshine. T: That鈥檚right. In the north, the biggest worry that farmers have is the drought. When it doesn鈥檛rain, and they can鈥檛irrigate the crops, the crops will die and they will have nothing after hard working.

Teaching aidsMulti-media Teaching procedures Step 1: Lead in What is the substance we put on the soil to make crops grow ? It is fertilizer. How many kinds of fertilizers do farmers use ? There are two kinds. They are chemical fertilizers and natural ones. Which kind do farmers use when they are doing organic farming ? Do you know about organic farming ? Today we鈥檙e going to read a passage with the title Organic Farming.Step 2 : Scanning Read the first paragraph and find out 1 what organic farming is . Organic farming means growing crops without chemical fertilizers. Step 3 : Intensive reading 1 How can Organic farmers make their soil fertile ? Organic farmers use natural waste from animals instead of chemical fertilizers. 2 But why don鈥檛they use chemical fertilizers ? Because using chemical fertilizers causes problems . Read the second paragraph and answer----- 3 How many problems are caused by using chemical fertilizers? Three. They are as follows. Firstly, chemical fertilizers affect the soil and the water supply badly. Secondly, they allow farmers to grow the same crop year after year and exhaust the oil. Thirdly, they kill both helpful and harmful pests. Read the whole passage again and fill in the table. Advantages of organic farming Reasons 1. Farmers use natural waste from animals. This makes the soil richer in minerals and so more fertile. 2. The soil is not exhausted. Peas and soybeans renew the minerals in the soil. The soil becomes rich and healthy. 3. They use the soil to best advantage. They plant crops that need surface soil and next crops that grow at a deeper level. So the wind and water does not carry away the soil. All the richness of the soil is used.Step 4 : Discussion Find out what type of writing the passage is. Discuss how to read and write this kind of passage.

教学设计2:Unit 2 Working the land

Unit 2 Working the land 一、课标内容二、教学要求(Teaching demands)三、教学建议(Suggested teaching notes)1、课时分配用6个课时完成教材内容,仅作参考。

2、教材各部分教学建议本单元的中心话题是“农业”。

“热身”(Warming Up)部分围绕有关农业、农村和农作物种植的内容提问,让学生谈谈对农村和农业劳动的认识或经验。

采用讨论法,在讨论中,教师可充分调动来自农村的学生的讨论积极性,并给予学生一个互相学习和交流的机会。

对于没有这方面知识和体验的学生,教师应鼓励他们利用这一机会进行社会调查,有条件的最好能到农村体验生活,让学生有机会真正了解农村生活,了解中国农民的生活现状,提高他们对农业的认识,使来自城镇的现代农业知识的中学生对农村和农业有一定感性认识。

“读前”(Pre-reading)部分提了两组问题。

第一组问题讨论大米在东亚和东南亚国家的人民基本生活中所处的地位;第二组问题提出了世界上迫切要解决的现象即饥饿。

有关讨论不仅力图激发学生的创造性思维,帮助对课文的理解,为阅读部分的教学做好铺垫。

同时让学生了解世界上还存在极其严重的饥饿问题,培养了学生的同情心和人道主义精神。

“阅读”(Reading)部分介绍中国著名的农业科学家、“水稻之父”袁隆平和他的巨大成就。

第一段通过对袁隆平的外貌描写,刻画出一个普通中国农民的形象。

袁隆平也称他自己是农民,也和农民一起耕种,他的科研殿堂就是广阔的农村。

然后介绍袁隆平的科研成果—超级杂交水稻。

第二段介绍袁隆平的家庭背景、学业和科研情况。

第三段勾勒出袁博士不图名不图利,无私奉献的高尚品质。

教学中我们可以引导学生从不同角度分析袁隆平的工作、成就、生活及人格魅力等,勾画出一个过着普通人的生活,干着伟大的事业人先进人物;塑造了一个朴实、务实的中国农业科学家的形象。

“理解”(Comprehending)部分设计了三个练习。

Unit2 Working the land
Period 1 Warming up and pre-reading.
Step 1 Lead-in.
Poem By Li Shen
Farmers weeding at noon,Sweat down the field soon.
Who knows food on a tray,Due to their toiling day.
Then let one student recite the poem in Chinese.
Step 2 Warming up by questioning
Hello, everyone. We shall read about man who works the land today. Have you ever grown any plants? If not, what kind of plant would you like to grow? How will you grow it?
(For reference: Mr. Li, I worked with my father in the rice field last year. We grow hybrid rice and use animal wastes to make the soil rich.)
Has anyone of you ever been to the countryside? What did you do there?
(For reference: I went to Chuankou the day before yesterday. It is a small mountain village 75 li n orth of Beijing. I went there to visit my uncle’s family. I like that small beautiful village very much. )
Who are from a farmer’s family? What do you know about farming?
Step 3 Pre-reading and talking
Questioning and answering
Rice is main food in South China. What do you think would happen if tomorrow there was suddenly no rice to eat?
(For reference: Then the south people would have to change their eating habit. They could turn to potatoes, wheat flour, cow and sheep cheese, cabbage, onions and garlic for food. They are the bases of the traditional food in North China. )
If you had the chance to do one thing to help end hunger in the world, what would you do?
(For reference: I would try to end hunger by popularizing the advanced farming techniques. Modern techniques could be introduced to increase the rice output, and expand the area of fields.)
Giving background information about Professor Yuan Longping
Have you ever heard of a man called Professor Yuan Longping? Would anyone of you tell the class something about him?
(For reference: Professor Yuan Longping is a Chinese agricultural scientist. Professor Yuan's breakthrough scientific achievement led to the world's first successful and widely grown hybrid rice varieties, revolutionizing rice cultivation in China and tripling production over a generation. His approach to rice breeding then spread internationally throughout Asia and to Africa and the Americas, providing food for tens of millions and leading to his becoming known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice."
Step 4. Reading
Reading aloud to the recording
Comprehension—understanding what you are reading—is important. To read in thought groups is an easy, yet effective, way of improving reading comprehension. Now turn to page 9 and read aloud to the recording of the text A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE. Pay attention to the thought groups in the sentences while listening and reading aloud.
A brief introduction:
Yuan Longping is known as China’s “father of hybrid rice”. It’s said that in China, we eat depending on “Two Ping” ---- Deng Xiaoping, who made the policy of System of Production Responsibility, & Yuan Longping, who invented hybrid rice.
Yuan Longping, who was born in September, 1930, graduated from Agriculture Department in Southwest Agricultural Institute. He has been working on agriculture education & the research into hybrid rice since he left the institute.
In the 1960s, when China was suffering from serious famine, he came up with the idea of hybrid rice, which has a high yield ( or output). Ten years later, he succeeded in inventing a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice.
Yuan devoted himself to the research into agriculture, & was honored by UNESCO & FAO(联合国教科文组织). Although he is 74 years old, he is still working on the research into agriculture.。
