(beautiful cities; broad roads; tall building; large population.)What will happen if there has been a big earthquake in these two cities?As we all know, earthquakes are disasters to everyone. But can we avoid or at least reduce the loss caused by earthquakes? Can we foretell earthquakes? Now let’s come to Pre-reading and decide what may happen before an earthquake comes.II. Pre-reading1.Talking and sharingWhat are the signs of an earthquake? (e.g. Cows, pigs and dogs become too nervous too eat. The mice will run out of the fields looking for places to hide. The water in the wells will rise and fall. Walls of the wells in village will have deep cracks. There will be bright light in the sky….)2. Imaging and sharingImagine there is an earthquake now, your home begins to shake and you must leave it right away. You have time to take only one thing. What will you take? Why?III. Reading1. Listening and fast readingNow let’s come to the text “A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP” and see what it tells us. Please listen to the text and get the general idea of the passage. You should pay attention to the first sentences of each paragraph. In what order is the text written? (The text is written in time order. The general idea is the mixture of the first sentences of each paragraph, that is, the text tells us something that happened before the earthquake, during the earthquake and after the earthquake.)2. Reading and underliningNext you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them in your notebook after class as homework.Collocations from A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEPa smelly gas, come out of, in the farmyards, too nervous to eat, run out of, lookfor place to hide, water pipes, think little of sth., as usual, it seemed that, at anend, one hundred kilometers away, one-third, eight kilometers long, thirty meters wide, cut across, in ruins, be injury, the number of, reach more than 400, 000, everywhere, everything was destroyed, be gone, blow away, sth. be not safe for, thousands of, give milk, half a million, instead of, be shocked, later that afternoon,be trapped under the ruins, fall down, all…is/was not…,hundreds of thousands of,dig out, the dead, to the north of, coal mines, built shelters, fresh water3.

Discussing writing styleAs you have understood the general idea of the text, I still put more questions to you.1.From whose point of view are events described? How do you know? (A writer who didn’t see the quake uses the third person “they” when he wri tes.)2.Why do you think the writer chose to express her feelings about the quake rather than simply report what happened? (Although the writer was not there he felt sad for the people of Tang Shan. He knows that giving some feelings will make the reading more interesting.)3.Why is the title “A NIGHT THE EARTH D I DN’T SLEEP”? (As usual, night is thetime to sleep, and night should be quiet and safe. But that night everything changed. The writer used it as a title to show how terrible and how unusual that night is.)5. Reading and understanding difficult sentences.If you have some difficult sentences to understand, come to me for help.IV. Closing downClosing down by doing exercisesNow please do the comprehending Exercises 1, 2 and 3 on page 27.Closing down by discussingBy now you’ve known that earthquakes are terrible natural disasters and that China is unlucky enough to have a lot of them.

Warming upWarming up by discovering useful words and expressionsHello everyone. After reading the passage, we have got to know the usage of the words and expressions, but we should do more practice. Now turn to page 27 to find the correct words and expressions from the passage to finish the sentences. You are given two minutes to finish them. Of course, you can discuss with your partners. Two minutes later, check in pairs and then check with the whole class.II. Learning about language1. Reading and findingTurn to page 26 and read the text A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP. Tick out the attributive clauses in the reading passage and translate them into Chinese.2. Doing Exercises 2 on page 28Turn to page 28 and do Exercise 2 in pairs.III. Ready used materials for Relative Pronouns: which, that, who whom whoseWhat are Relative Pronouns?Relative pronouns are special pronouns which can connect the antecedent and theattributive clause. Also they can be used as a part of the attributive clause. Here are some important differences:1．w hich/ that: referring to things, can be used as a subject or an object in the attributive clause; when they are used as an object, they can be omitted:The plane is a machine that/which can fly.The school (that/which) he visited last week is to the south of the city.2.that/ who/whom: referring to a person, can be used as subject or object in the attributive clause; whom can be used as an object:The girl (that/whom/who) we saw yesterday was Jim’s sister.The man that/who is talking to my father is my maths teacher.3. whose: referring to a person or a thing, can be used as an attribute in the attributive clause:This is the writer whose name is known all over the world.The room whose window faces south is mine.4.Before everything, anything, everybody, anybody, all, the best +n, thefifth +n, we use that instead of which:All (that) I need is time.This is the largest factory (that) I have ever visitedThe sixth lesson (that) we are learning is the most difficult in Book Two.5. We can’t use that in a Non-Defining Attributive Clause:I have lost the pen, which I like very much.I have two sisters, who are both teachers.IV. Closing down by doing a quizNow you are going to take a quiz on Relative Pronouns.Fill in the blanks, using which, that, who, whom, whose.(1) The force ( ) causes everything to fall towards the ground is called gravity.(2) A friend ( ) helps you in time of need is a friend indeed.(3) Do you know the girl ( ) parents are teachers in our school?(4)The woman ( ) I spoke to just now is my English teacher.(5) He saw a house ( ) windows were all broken.(6)Everything ( ) can be done today mustn’t be done tomorrow.(7)Can you think of anyone ( ) could look after him?(8)This is the best hotel ( ) I know.(9)The man ( ) I saw told me to come back today.(10)Those ( ) want to go to the Great Wall write down your names here.(11) He talked a lot about the teachers and the schools ( ) he had visited.(12)The ninth lesson ( ) we are learning is the most difficult in Book One.(13)Mount Blanc(勃朗峰), ( ) they visited last month, is the highest mountain in(14)We know all the teacher ( ) work in our school.(15)The house in ( ) Lu Xun once lived is a museum now.(16)The house ( ) Lu Xun once lived is a museum now.(17)The house ( ) Lu Xun once lived in is a museum now.(18)You can take any room ( ) you like.(19) He showed a machine ( ) parts are too small to be seen.(20)The sports meet was put off, ( ) was exactly what we wanted.Answers to the exercises: (1)which/that (2)who/that (3)whose (4)whom/that/who (5)w (6)that (7)that (8)that (9)that/whom/who (10)who (11)that (12)that (13)which (1 (15)which (16)in which/where (17)which/that (18)that (19)whose (20)whichPeriod 3:A sample lesson plan for Using Language(A letter from Zhang Sha)AimsTo read and speak about travelingTo write a letter describing feeling about travelingProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by discussingHave you ever written a speech? What is a speech? Speech means an act of speaking formally to a group of listeners. What do you have to consider when you are writing a speech? Please discuss it in pairs. (1. Who is the audience? 2. How can we express ourselves clearly?)Warming up by readingWhat should you include in your speech when you try to write one? Read the letter on page 29 and imagine you are the student who was invited to give a speech. Now write a short speech, in which you should follow the points in exercise 3 on page 29.II. Reading and underliningRead the letter and exercises again and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the letter. Copy them in your notebook after class as homework.Collocations from the lettercongratulations, be pleased to do sth., win the high school speaking competition, a group of five judges, all of whom, agree, be proud of, open a new park, honour those wh died in the terrible disaster, would like to do, have you do sth., as you know, invite sb.to do sth., on that special day, at the beginning of, thank sb, for doing sth.,honour sb. for sth., be known as, encourage sb. to do sth., be happy to do sth.,collect stamps, lose one’s lifeIII.

First listen and try to get some details that exercises 1 and 2 request. Second listen again and try to finish the exercises. Third listen and check your answers.IV. Guided writing (SB. page 31)1. Making a introductionHave you ever read a newspaper story? Now turn on your books to page 31 and look at Writing.Read the brief description about how to write a newspaper story. Compare a newspaper story to a short story and answer the following questions.1) What should you write before writing a newspaper story? (outline)2) What should a newspaper outline have? (a headline; a list of main ideas; a list of important details)3) Why a headline is needed? (It can tell the readers what the topic is; it can also attract the readers’ attention)4) How can you finish a newspaper story? (First, you should write a headline, then organize your main ideas into paragraphs, and then put some details into each paragraph.)5) Have you found out the difference between a newspaper story and a short story? (Usually a short story begins with small details and includes big details later. A newspaper story does just the opposite. Both kinds of stories use paragraphs with main ideas. In a good newspaper story, the point-of-view is objective (i.e. it has no point-of-view) while a short story is subjective (i.e. it has a point-of-view). A newspaper story has no conclusion; a short story generally does.)Now I’ll show you a newspaper story to find out the headline, main idea and details of each paragraph.THE WASHINGTON POSTSEATTLE-A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 hit Washington State last week. The quake, the biggest in 50 years, caused billions of dollars in damage. But miraculously, only one person died and more than 100 people were injured in the quake.Authorities said one reason there wasn’t greater destruction is that the region spent millions of dollars in the last decade designing earthquake----proof facilities and improving existingbuildings, schools and homes.Earthquake expert said the event illustrated(说明) the growing gap between rich and poor nations in the ability to mitigate(减轻) natural disasters. Only a handful of people were seriously injured here, a slight number compared with the devastation(破坏) in countries like Turkey, India and El Salvador, where quakes have buried thousands under poorly constructed buildings.2. WritingNow prepare the outline for a short newspaper story for China Daily. You can use the example in exercise 1 to help you organize your outline.3.

We have learned many things about it. Up till now, earthquakes are difficult to predict. We can hardly avoid an earthquake. But actually we can do things to reduce the losses of an earthquake. Let’s look at the form on Page 66 and have a discussion about the earthquake plan with your partner.( Ss give their answers)T: What should you do if you are outside?(Ss give their answers)T: What should you do if you are in the living room?(different answers)T: What should you do if you are in the house room?(different answers)T: Next we are going to listen to the tape and write down the three “things” that are mentioned.(After listening, teacher checks the answers with the students.)T: Then let’s listen again. This time you should write down more details about each of th e “things”.(After listening, teacher checks the answers with the class. Play the tape again if necessary.)Step 3 SpeakingT: You know every family should have an earthquake bag, in which there are enough things that you can use in case of an earthquake. Here we have a list of possible items for the personal earthquake bag. Choose only eight things, which you think are the most essential, from the list. They must last you five days. Discuss with your partner.(After several minutes.)T: Now join another pair and discuss your choices. Put all the things you agree on into a final list. Discuss the other items explaining your reasons and trying to agree which ones are the most suitable.(After several minutes.)T: Each group should choose one representative. Now be prepared to present your list to the class and give your reasons for each choice.Step 4 Learning TipT: In order to learn a language well, you should do a lot of practice, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. Only when we understand what is said to us can we have a conversation with somebody. So listening to English is very important. After class, you should listen to the English news on CCTV International. You will not only get a lot of information about what is happening around the world, but also improve your listening and learn more English words and expressions. At the same, you will improve your pronunciation and intonation.Step 5 Summing upT: Now let’s sum up what you have learnt in this unit. Work with your partner.

Unit 4 Earthquakes（1）●从容说课This is the first period of this unit.It includes Warming-up，Discussion，New words and Listening.In this period，students should get the first impression of earthquakes，including the phenomena before an earthquake，the cause of an earthquake，the ways to reduce the damage and so on.In Warming-up，students first discuss what would happen during an earthquake.Then discuss some other natural disasters，such as hurricanes，tornadoes and typhoons.What are they and what would happen if these natural disasters occur？After these two steps，the students would have a general idea about natural disasters.This lays a foundation for the Reading passage.Also these two steps provide the students with enough chance to practice speaking.The teacher should stimulate the students to express themselves using English.Next the teacher will explain some new words and expressions that would appear in the Reading passage.After class students should use these words and expressions to make sentences.In this way，the teacher can check whether the students havemastered these words and expressions or not.Then in the Listening part，students will listen to the cause of an earthquake and the ways to reduce the damage.They should first make a judgment whether the statements are true or false.Then try to fill in a form.After finishing the tasks in the textbooks，the teacher can also ask the students to go online after class to look for more information about how to reduce the damage of an earthquake.This period lays emphasis on speaking and listening.The teacher should try his or her best to encourage the students to say something.Don’t always correct the mistakes that the students would make while speaking.Otherwise，the students would feel reluctant to speak out their opinions.●三维目标1.Knowledge：（1）Get a general idea of earthquakes and some other natural disasters.（2）Know the causes of an earthquake.2.Ability：（1）Train the students’ speaking ability by describing，talking and discussion.（2）Train the students’ listening ability.（3）Train the students’ ability to use the Internet to search for some useful information.（4）Train the students’ ability to cooperate with others.3.Emotion：（1）Know the damage that an earthquake and other natural disasters could bring about.（2）Know the ways to reduce the losses of an earthquake.●教学重点Train the students’speaking ability by describing，talking and discussion.●教学难点Train the students’ listening ability.●教具准备（1）a tape recorder（2）a projector（3）the blackboard●教学过程Step 1 GreetingsTeacher （T）：Good morning/afternoon，class!Students （Ss）：Good morning/afternoon，teacher.Step 2 Warming-upT：First，I want to ask you a question.Do you know what happened in the Indian Ocean at the end of last year？It shocked or we can say frightened the whole world.S1：Let me try.A terrible tsunami broke out there on 26th December.More than 200000 people were killed.T：Yes.It is said that it is the biggest in the four decades.A tsunami is an undersea earthquake.Then have you heard of any land earthquakes？Ss：Yes.T：Would you please list some？S2：We can often hear that earthquakes occur in Japan.S3：In 1906，an earthquake struck San Francisco，USA.About 700 people died in the earthquake and the fires.And as many as 250000 people lost homes.S4：And in 1989，another big earthquake hit San Francisco.About 100 people were killed.It was America’s second strongest earthquake.T：But do you know any famous earthquakes that happened in our country？S5：Of course.The Tangshan Earthquake that happened in1976.My father experienced it，and he often tells me about the deadliest earthquake.T：Can you tell me what might happen in an earthquake？You may look at the two pictures on Page 25.S6：If an earthquake happens，the whole city would collapse.The tall buildings might be destroyed.The roads，the railway tracks and so on would be destroyed.Bridges would fall down.Water pipes would be broken.Then people would face water problem.S7：In the 1989 earthquake in San Francisco，a wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below.Many people were killed in their cars，and only a few lucky ones were not hurt.S8：If the earthquake comes at night，a large number of people would be killed or trapped in the houses.S9：Sometimes during the earthquake，big holes would appear in the earth.T：Yes.You did a very good job.You see，there are large quantities of tall buildings in San Francisco.No one can imagine what would happen if another big earthquake hit the city.Step 3 DiscussionT：You know，an earthquake is one of the terrible natural disasters.Do you know any other natural disaster？And what will happen during the disasters？Discuss with your partner.（A few minutes later.）T：Now I’ll ask some of you to tell us the disasters you know. S1：Floods，hurricanes，tornadoes.S2：Typhoons，drought.T：Very good.What would happen in these disasters？S3：In a flood，water will be everywhere.It would wash away many things.Many people would be drowned.People could go to stay on tall buildings or even the roofs.S4：If hurricane，typhoon or tornado occurs，there would be very strong winds.Things would be blown down.There would be a lot of traffic accidents.And the sailors on the sea would be in great danger.S5：During the drought，water is badly needed.The farmers would have no water to irrigate the crops in the fields. T：Next I will explain these disasters and meanwhile show you some pictures.A flood is the movement of water out of a river，lake or ocean onto land.It was reported that in 2004 at least100 people were dead and 83 were missing after rainstorms caused landslides（山崩） and floods in Southwest of China.A hurricane is a strong storm with high winds and rain.The very center of the storm，called the eye，is calm.A tornado is a violently rotating（旋转的） column of air that forms at the bottom of a cloud and touches the ground.A Typhoon is an intense tropical weather system with a well-defined circulation and maximum sustained（持续不变的） winds of 74 miles per hour.In other parts of the world，they are known as hurricanes，tropical cyclones（龙卷风） and severe tropical cyclones.Drought refers to a period of time without rain that can damage crops such as wheat and corn.Step 4 New WordsT：In this unit，you will read a passage about an earthquake.In the passage，you will meet a lot of new words and expressions.Now we’re going to learn them.First read the words and expressions from “shake” to “fresh” after me. T：Read these words and expressions by yourself.Meanwhile，please pay attention to their meanings.T：Now I will explain these words and expressions in English.1.pipe：a thin metal piece that carries water2.dam：a special wall that keeps water behind it3.shocked：worried or frightened4.injure：hurt5.well：a deep place to store water to drink6.canal：a very long water way for boats7.ruin：the part of a building left after the rest has been damaged8.a great number of：a lot of9.at an end：finished；dead10.bury：put something under the earth11.rise：go up12.rescue：help to get someone out of danger13.steam：gas that hot water gives outStep 5 ListeningT：Before we learn the passage about an earthquake，let’s first know why there are earthquakes in the world.So let’s do some listening on Page 62.Listen to the tape for the first time and try to get a general idea of the passage.S1：This passage is about the cause of earthquakes and how we can reduce losses from them.T：Very good.Listen to the tape for the second time and judgewhether the statements in Part 1 are true or false.T：Let’s check the answers.Listen again and try to correct the statements that are false.T：Listen again and try to complete the table in Part 2.（Play the tape again if necessary.）（A few minutes later.）T：Let’s check the answers.Step 6 Homeworke the following words and expressions to make sentences. shake，rise，crack，burst，at an end，right away，injure，ruin，survivor，useless，rescue，dig out，organize，shelter，fresh，bury，shock，destroy2.Preview the reading passage on Page 26.●板书设计●活动与探究Poster-making：1.Divide the whole class in five groups.2.Ask them to look for more ways of reducing losses from earthquakes.The students can go to the library or use the Internet to search for information.The following websites might be helpful.①http：//②http：///③http：///3.After searching for the information，each group should makea poster，informing people how to reduce the losses of an earthquake.●备课资料Why do Earthquakes Happen？Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates.For example，at San Francisco the Pacific plate which is moving towards the northwest meetsthe North American plate.The Pacific plate is moving very slowly—at 5.3 centimeters a year.Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years.Then suddenly，they jump and an earthquake is felt.As a result of the movement of these plates，west America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquake.When the 1906 earthquake happened，the Pacific plate jumped 5-6 meters to the north.We cannot stop earthquakes，but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy whole cities.First，it is not a good idea to build houses along the lines where two of the earth’s plates join together.Second，if you think there may be an earthquake，it is better to build houses on rock not on sand.Third，you must make the houses as strong as possible.Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake，but strong ones may stay up.How Can We Reduce the Losses of an Earthquake？BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE STRIKESDevelop an earthquake-specific family plan.If you are at risk from earthquakes：Pick “safe places” in each room of your home.A safe place could be under a sturdy table or desk or against an interiorwall away from windows，bookcases，or tall furniture that could fall on you.Also pick safe places in your office，school and other buildings you are frequently in.Practice drop，cover，and hold-on in each safe place twice a year.Drop under a sturdy desk or table and hold on to one leg of the table or desk.Protect your eyes by keeping your head down.Wait in your safe place until the shaking stops，then check to see if you are hurt，then check the people around you.Be on the lookout for fires.Fire is the most common earthquake-related hazard.If you must leave a building after the shaking stops，use the stairs，not the elevator.If you’re outside in an earthquake，stay outside.Move away from buildings，trees，streetlights，and power lines. Everyone in your home should know what to do if an earthquake occurs.Get training.Take a first aid class and get training on how to use a fire extinguisher（灭火器）.Talk with your insurance agent.Study locations of active faults，and if you are at risk，consider purchasing earthquakeinsurance.DURING AN EARTHQUAKEDrop，cover，and hold on! Move only a few steps to a nearby safe place.If you are in bed，hold on and stay there，protecting your head with a pillow.If you are outdoors，find a clear spot away from buildings，trees，streetlights，and power lines.Drop to the ground and stay there until the shaking stops.If you are in a vehicle，pull over to a clear location，stop and stay there with your seatbelt fastened until the shaking has stopped.Once the shaking has stopped，proceed with caution.Avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged by the quake.Stay away from windows.In a high-rise building，check for and extinguish small fires，and，if exiting，use the stairs.If you are in a coastal area，move to higher ground.Tsunamis are often created by earthquakes.If you are in a mountainous area or near unstable slopes or cliffs，be alert for falling rocks and other debris that couldbe loosened by the ndslides commonly happen after earthquakes.AFTER THE EARTHQUAKECheck yourself for injuries before caring for others.After you have taken care of yourself，help injured or trapped persons.If you have it in your area，call 9-1-1，then give first aid when appropriate.Look for and extinguish small fires.Put out small fires quickly，using available resources.Open closet and cabinet doors cautiously.Inspect your home for damage.Get everyone out if your home is unsafe.Aftershocks following earthquakes can cause further damage to unstable buildings.Help neighbours who may require special assistance.Elderly people and people with disabilities may require additional assistance.Listen to a portable，battery-operated radio （or television）for updated emergency information and instructions.Expect aftershocks.Aftershocks frequently occur minutes，days，weeks，and even months following an earthquake. Watch out for fallen power lines or broken gas lines，and stayout of damaged areas.Stay out of damaged buildings.If you are away from home，return only when authorities say it is safe.Use battery-powered lanterns or flashlights to inspect your home.Take pictures of the damage，both to the house and its contents，for insurance claims.Avoid smoking inside buildings.When entering buildings，be extremely careful.Check for gas leaks.Check for sewage（下水道） and water line damage.If you suspect sewage lines are damaged，avoid using the toilets and call a plumber（水管工人）.If water pipes are damaged，contact the water company and avoid using water from the tap.Use the telephone only to report life-threatening emergencies.Watch animals closely.The behavior of pets may change dramatically after an earthquake.。
