Teaching methodsInspiration, Questioning and Discussion.Teaching aidsA computer, a projector and a recorder.The first period readingProceduresStep I. Warming upWarming up by describingGood morning, class. Today we are going to read about A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. But first, I’d like to know if you have ever heard of women like Elizabeth Fry, Soong Chingling, Jane Goodall, Jody Williams, Joan of Arc and Lin Qiaozhi. Now turn to page 1, look at the photos, read the captions and describe to your neighbor the women in focus. Who is she? What is she? What did she do to benefit the world? Warming up by discussingHi, every one. How did you spend your winter vacation? Did you read any books? Did you read any women of achievement? What makes a woman of achievement? Now in pairs discuss the women on page one. Which of these women do you think is a great woman? Give reasons for your choice.Warming up by reading aloud and translatingNice to see you back at school, boys and girls. As you have all prepared lessons before class I shall ask six of you at random to read aloud and translate the captions under the photos on page one. Zhao Yanfei, would you try reading aloud and translating the first caption?Well done! Next let’s have Ju Xiaohong do the second one.Step II. Pre-reading1.Looking and sayingWork in pairs. Look at the photos and the title A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE and predict the contents of the text. When you are ready, join another pair and compare your predictions and the clues that helped you to make the predictions. (Key:From the photos and title I guess that the text tells about a woman scientist who is working in Africa to protect the wildlife there. She studies a family of chimps, delivers a speech on their behaviour, arguing for them to be left in the wild and protected. )2.Talking and sharingWork in groups of four. Tell your group mates what you know about wildlife protection. Then the group leader is to stand up and share your group idea with the class. (Key: I am from Group 3. We think that Jane is a woman of achievement. For she has helped people understand how much chimps behave like humans. Because of her we know that it is better for the animals to be left in the wild or in the special placesset up for them. )Step III. Reading1.Reading aloud to the recordingNow please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence. I will play the tape twice and you shall read aloud twice, too.2.Reading and underliningNext you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.3.Reading to identify the topic sentence of each paragraphSkim the text and identify the topic sentence of each paragraph. You may find it either at the beginning, the middle or the end of the paragraph.(Key: 1st paragraph: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. 2nd paragraph: Nobody before has fully understood chimp behaviour. 3rd paragraph: For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.)4.Reading and transferring informationRead the text again to complete the table, which list what Jane does to protect African wildlife.What does Jane do?5.Reading and understanding difficult sentencesAs you have read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me the teacher.Step IV. Closing downClosing down by doing exercisesTo end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises No. 1 and 2. 2. Closing down by having a discussionDo you agree with Jane’s ideas? Why or why not?(Key: I agree with Jane’s idea, because leaving the animals in the wild is the only good way to protect them. The animals belong to the forest, just as we belong to the civilized world. ) What do you think is the best way to protect wildlife? (Key:I think the best way is to understand and respect the life of animals. Setting up special places where they can live safely is important and effective) Closing down by retelling the story of Jane GoodallI shall write some key words and expressions on the board. You are to retell the story of Jane Goodall according to these words.(Key: visit the chimps, watch the chimps, understand chimp behaviour, argue for…, set up special places)The second period Learning about LanguageAimsTo help students learn about subject-verb agreement.To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions. To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures.ProceduresStepI. Warming upWarming up by discovering useful words and expressionsTurn to page 4 and do exercises No. 1, 2 ,3 and 4 first. Check your answers against your classmates’.Step II. Learning about grammar1.Reading and thinkingTurn to page 2 and read with me the text of A PROTECTOR OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. As you read on, pay attention to the forms of sentence predicates and the subject-verb agreement shown in the sentences.(For reference: Our group are…, Watching a family of chimps is…, Nobody before has fully understood…)2.Doing exercises No. 1 and 2 on page 5Turn to page 5. Look at the two sentences: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. And Our group includes six boys and five girls. Have you noticed any difference between them? Yes. If the word “group ” refers to different members, use a plural verb. If the word “group” is considered as a whole, use a singular verb. Now fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs in bracketson page 5. And then go on to do Exercise No. 2 on the same page, that is, fill in the correct verb form in the letter.Step III. Ready used materials for Subject-verb agreementWe all know these meanings of "agree," but when we talk aboutsubject-verb agreement, we're talking about something different:matching subjects and verbs according to number. That is, when you havea singular subject, you have to match it with a singular verb form: Theboy plays. When you have a plural subject, you must have a plural verbform: The boys play.In short, simple sentences, you should have no problem with agreement.You can hear the problem: The boys plays. When it's wrong , it just soundsfunny. However, there are four potential problem spots that you needto watch carefully:Reversed sentence orderThe normal pattern for English sentences is subject-verb. However,there are a few situations where this order is reversed (like thissentence):o There are snacks on the laundry-room table.o Where are they?o On the table are the goodies!See how the subject comes after the verb in each of these? If you canremember how to locate subjects and verbs, you shouldn't blunder intomistakes when writing reversed-order sentences."-body," "-one," and "-thing" wordsThe correct term for these words is indefinite pronouns, but if youremember them as "-body," "-one," and "-thing" words, you'll probablybe able to spot them more easily. You only need to know one thing: ifa word has one of these endings (like everybody, everyone, anyone,anything, etc.), it is always singular! You can also include each, either, and neither in this group. Look at the following:1.Everyone is going on a picnic.2.Each of the boys is taking his own lunch.3.If anyone drops something to eat, I'll grab it before he canpick it up.You shouldn't have problems with these if you simply memorize theendings of words that are always singular.NOTE: We said that either and neither are always singular; however, if you have two subjects in an either . . . or or neither . . . norconstruction, getting the agreement right may give you fits. To get it right, just locate the subject closest to the verb and make the verb agree with it:o Either the mailman or the constructionworkers are causing Peggy to bark like crazy.o Neither the dogs down the street nor the onenext door pays any attention.Compare this with the following:o Either the construction workers or themailman is causing Peggy to bark like crazy.o Neither the one next door nor the dogs downthe street pay any attention.IV. Closing down by doing a quizTo end the period you are going to take a quiz on subject-verb agreement.The third period Using Language(A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME)AimsTo help students read the passage A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME.To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing.ProceduresStep I.
