⼈教版⾼中英语选修7Unit2教案1 Unit 2 RobotsPart 1 Teaching Design第⼀部分教学设计Period 1 A sample lesson plan for reading(Satisfaction Guaranteed) IntroductionIn this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to read for forms, copy collocations and write articles. Then they shall question and answer, read the text again to discover the leading sentence of each paragraph, and read the text for its type of writing and summary of Satisfaction Guaranteed. The class is to end by students reading a robot poem.ObjectivesTo help students understand the text’s forms and contents and learn about robotsTo help students communicate on the topic in focus with the words, collocations and structures learned in this unitFocusAidsMultimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagrams Procedures1. Warming up by getting to know w hat a robot isHello, class. When you hear the word "robot", you probably get a picture in your mind of a clever mechanical man, perhaps R2D2 or C3PO from the movie Star Wars. That is how most people think of robots, but the robots that really exist today are quite different from the robots of comic books, cartoons, and science fiction films and books.Robots come in many shape and sizes and have many different abilities. Basically, a robot is simply a computer with some sort of mechanical body designed to do a particular job. Usually, it is able to move and has one or more electronic senses. These senses are not nearly as powerful as our own senses of sight and hearing. However, scientists and engineers are working hard to improve robots. They are constantly coming up with ways to make them see, hear and respond to the environment around them.Robots have a lot to do with our lives. Now let’s go to page 11 to read an article about robot s and our lives.2. Pre-reading by talking about the three Laws of RoboticsRobots are coming into our lives. Then we are worried about being controlled by robots some day in the future. Don’t worry. We have rules for robots.3. Reading for formsRead the text Satisfaction Guaranteed again to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful collocations.4. Copying collocations and writing articlesA collocation is two or more words that often go together. These combinations just sound "right" to native English speakers, who use them all the time.While going over the text, try to recognize the collocations, treat them as single blocks of language and copy them out into your Collocation Book.5. Questioning and answeringNow let’s go over the text again by questioning and answering. Satisfaction GuaranteedA: What did Larry Belmont work for?B: Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots.A: What was the company experimenting with recently?B: Recently it was experimenting with a robot that could be used todo the housework.A: By whom was it going to be tested out?B:It was going to be tested out by Larry’s wife, Claire.A:Why didn’t Claire want the robot in her house?B:Claire didn’t want the robot in her house, especially as her husbandwould be absent for three weeksA: How did Claire feel when she first saw the robot?B: When she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed.A: What was the robot like?B:The robot, called Tony, didn’t look like a machine at all. He was tall and handsome although his facial expressions never changed. His hair was smooth and black and his voice was deep.A: What did the robot do the second morning?B: On the second morning Tony brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing.A: How did Claire react?B:She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human.A: What did Claire mention one day?B:One day, Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever.A: And what did Tony, the robot, say to her?B: Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that.A:How did Claire feel about a robot’s sympathy?B: Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot.…6. Reading the text again to discover the topic sentence of each paragraphA well-organized paragraph supports or develops a single controlling idea, which is expressed in a sentence called the topic sentence. A topic sentence has several important functions: it substantiates or supports an essay’s thesis statement; it unifies the content of a paragraph and directs the order of the sentences; and it advises the reader of the subject to be discussed and how the paragraph will discuss it. Now read the text again to discover the leading sentence of each paragraph.7. Reading the text for its type of writing and summary of Satisfaction GuaranteedThere are words that signal a text's organizational structure. If you are struggling with how to make sense of what you're reading, you must increase your sensitivity to the particular word s.Determining the type of writing will help you determine the author’s topic (subject), purpose (why he is writing), style (how he should write) and tone (his attitude toward his subject - supportive, condeming, objective, etc.)It is important to find main ideas when reading. Main ideas help you remember important information. The main idea of a paragraph tells the topic of the paragraph. The topic tells what all or most of the sentences are about. The other sentences in the paragraph are called details. Details describe or explain the main idea. Read the text to find the main idea.Now go over the text for its type of writing and summary of Satisfaction Guaranteed.Type of writing A narrationMain idea of 1st paragraph A robot that could be used to do the housework was going to betested out by Larry’s wife, Claire.Main idea of 2nd paragraph The robot, called Tony, was tall and handsome, his hair beingsmooth and black and his voice being deep.Main idea of 3rd paragraph Tony was disturbing and frightening to Claire that he looked sohuman.Main idea of 4th paragraph Claire began to trust Tony.Main idea of 5th paragraph Claire was amazed by Tonny’s fingernails and the softness andwarmth of his skin.Main idea of 6th paragraph Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a ―dear’.Main idea of 7th paragraph Tony suggested that Claire invite Gladys and her friends to the house.Main idea of 8th paragraph Tony held Claire firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body.Main idea of 9th paragraph Tony folded his arms around Claire, bending his face close to hers.Main idea of 10th paragraph Claire heard Cladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony.Main idea of 11th paragraph The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.Main idea of 12th paragraph Even though Tony had been so clever, he would have to be rebuilt—you cannot have women falling in love with machines.8. Closing down by reading a robot poemMy Robot Does My HomeworkMy robot does my homework.He helps me every night.The trouble is he doesn't gettoo many answers right.He'd probably do betterat homework but, you see,I built him, so he only knowsthe things he learned from me.--Kenn Nesbitt。

Today we are going to read a magazine article about landmines.First,ask students to read this piece of news about landmines.Three decades of war in Cambodia have left scars in many forms throughout the country. Unfortunately,one of the most lasting legacies of the conflicts continues to claim new victims daily. Landmines,laid by the Khmer Rouge,the Heng Samrin and Hun Sen regimes,the Vietnamese,the KPNLF,and the Sihanoukists litter the countryside. In most cases,even the soldiers who planted the mines did not record where they were placed. Now,Cambodia has the one of the highest rates of physical disability of any country in the world. At the current rate of progress,it may take as many as 100 years to clear all the mines in Cambodia,and the UN estimates that with current technology,it will take nearly 1100 years to clear all the mines in the world.2.Next,present the students some mine signs and remind students that in spite of so many warning signs,there are still many victims as the pictures show.(In spite of so many warning signs,there are still many victims. Look at the following pictures.)3.Ask students to glance through the text quickly and answer the following questions in Exercise 1 on Page 58.。

Learning ability goals学能目标:Enable students to realize science fiction reflects scientific thought; a fiction of things-to-come based on things-on-hand. Teaching important points教学重点Teach students to enjoy science fiction. Enable students to grasp what Tony did to help Claire and how her emotion developed duringTony’s s tay at her house. Help students to sum up characteristics of science fiction.Teaching difficult points 教学难点How Claire’s emotion developed during Tony’s stay at her house.Teaching methods教学方法Discussing, explaining, reading and practisingTeaching aids教具准备The multimedia computerTeaching procedures & ways教学过程与方式Step I Warming upDeal with Warming up. Present photos of different kinds of robots. Then ask them to say something about his or her favorite robot.T: Good morning /afternoon, class!Ss: Good morning/ afternoon, Mr. /Ms…T: In this class we are going to learn about robots. Who would like to tell me what a robot isS1:A robot is a machine.T: What kind of machineS2: A robot is a kind of machine that can do a variety of often complex human tasks.T: How can a robot perform human tasksS3: A robot is controlled by a computer.T: You are right. Then we can give the definition of a robot like this: A robot is a machine designed to do jobs that are usually performed by humans. Robots are programmed and controlled by a computer. Now look at some pictures. Divide them into different types and decide your favorite one.Step II Pre-readingAsk students to discuss the questions in pre-reading in groups. Students are encouraged to speak out their opinion freely, no matter what it is. Teacher should encourage students to use their imagination.Step III ReadingDeal with the reading part.ScanningAsk the students to scan the text and find out what Tony looks like.T:Ok. I’m glad you had a heated discussion. Now I’d like you to meet Tony-- a robot that looks exactly like a human being. He is a character in the science fiction Satisfaction Guaranteed by Isaac Asimov. Please read the text and find the answers to the following questions.Show the following questions on the PowerPoint.1. What did Tony look like2. What did Tony do to make Claire and her home elegantSeveral minutes later check the answers with the whole class. Suggested answer:1. He was tall and handsome although his facial expressions never changed. His hair was smooth and black and his voice was deep.2. Tony gave Claire a new haircut and changed the makeup she wore. He also suggested Claire buy new curtains, cushions, a carpet and paint for the house and new dresses for herself. He made improvements on the house so that the house looked very elegant.Careful readingComprehending questions on Page 12Ask students to read the text carefully and then discuss the comprehending questions on Page 12 in groups.T:Now let’s re ad the text carefully and then do the comprehending exercises on Page 12.Several minutes later check the answers with the whole class.Suggested answers:. He opened the curtains so that the other women—Claire‘s guests could see them.He had prevented Claire from harming herself through her own sense of failure.Because the company (designers) cannot have women falling in love with machines.Various answers can be accepted.When she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. Tony didn’t look like a machine at all.She felt embarrassed when Tony asked her whether she needed help dressing.Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot.She was amazed by the fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin.She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day.What a sweet victory to be envied by those women. She might not as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover.Then she remembered—Tony was just a machine. She cried all night.2.After dealing with the comprehending exercises, ask students to work together to find how Claire’s emotion developed.Suggested answer:At first refused to have Tony at her house---accept him----trust him---- proud of him----love him---sad to remember he was just a machineT: From her emotion development, we can see Tony was designed as a Mr. Perfect. He is designed not to harm Claire or allow her to be harmed. This is one of Isaac’s three laws for rob ots.
