Module6Animalsindanger动词不定式辅导教案
4.学习能力:培养学生自主探究、合作学习的能力,使其在探索动词不定式用法的过程中,形成有效的学习策略,提高英语学习效率。
本节课将紧密围绕核心素养目标,关注学生全面发展,使学生在掌握知识的同时,提升综合语言运用能力。
三、教学难点与重点
1.教学重点
(1)动词不定式的结构:to +动词原形,强调动词原形的使用;
2.在小组讨论环节,学生的参与度较高,但部分学生的表达仍较为拘谨。为了提高学生的积极性,我可以在以后的教学中多给予鼓励和肯定,帮助他们建立自信,更积极地参与到课堂讨论中来。
3.实践活动中,学生编写句子时对动词不定式的运用还不够熟练。这提示我在以后的教学中,可以增加一些写作练习,让学生有更多的机会去运用动词不定式,从而提高他们的写作能力。
(2)动词不定式的功能:目的状语、主语、宾语补足语等,结合实际句子分析其作用;
(3)动词不定式在描述动物保护行动中的应用:通过课文实例,让学生掌握动词不定式在此类语境中的用法。
举例:
-保护濒危动物的目的:To save the endangered animals, we need to take effective measures.
2.动词不定式在句子中的用法,如目的状语、主语、宾语补足语等;
3.结合本章课文,分析动词不定式在描述动物保护行动中的具体应用实例;
4.通过实际案例分析,让学生学会使用动词不定式表达保护濒危动物的目标和措施。
本节课将紧扣教材内容,帮助学生巩固动词不定式的知识,并能在实际语境中灵活运用。
二、核心素养目标
-动词不定式作主语:To raise public awareness of wildlife protection is essential.

2. Unit 2 I want to be a volunteer.掌握志愿者的概念,学会介绍保护动物的方式。
其次,本节课的重点词汇和句型教学取得了较好的效果。在讲授过程中,我通过图片、例句、角色扮演等多种方式,帮助学生理解和掌握词汇和句型。从学生的实际运用情况来看,他们能够将这些词汇和句型运用到句子中,进行有效表达。
然而,我也注意到在语法讲解和难点解析方面,部分学生仍存在一定的困难。特别是情态动词can的用法,有些学生在实际应用时会出现错误。在今后的教学中,我需要更加关注这部分学生的需求,通过更多实例和练习,帮助他们突破难点。
举例:通过角色扮演、小组讨论等形式,让学生运用句型表达对动物保护的意愿和计划。
(3)语法:本节课的重点语法为情态动词can的用法,表示能力、请求、允许等。教师需强调情态动词can在不同情境下的用法。

What are on the screen?Ss: Tigers.T: What do you think of them?Ss: They are beautiful and lovely.T: Who volunteers to tell us something about this kind of animal in our country?S1: There are mainly three kinds of tigers native to China. They are the Siberian tiger, the South China tiger and the Bengalese tiger.S2: And do they belong to the cat family.T: You are quite right. But which kind of the tigers is the largest?S3: The Siberian tiger is the largest living cat in the world.T: Why did you say so?S3: Because Siberian tigers can be 9 to 12 feet long (from head to the tip of their tail) and are about 3 and 1/2 feet tall. Female tigers are somewhat smaller than the male tigers, and they can weigh between 400 to 650 pounds.S4: It is said that they need to eat about 20 pounds of meat a day to stay alive in the cold climates. It can consume up to 200 pounds of meat a day.S5: In the harsh Siberian winter the tiger's coat will lose some of its color. The winter coat doesn't have the red stripes of tigers from warmer climates. The white coat also helps to camouflage it in the snow. It also grows a longer and thicker coat than other tigers to help it survive the cold weather.S6: Siberian tigers mostly live in eastern Russia and some are found in north eastern China and North Korea. Even though there have been many wars, the Siberia tigers are still alive.S7: The Siberian tiger is endangered and almost extinct now. At the beginning of the century, there were about one hundred thousand wild tigers. But at present there are only (estimated) three hundred and sixty to four hundred and six in the wild; four hundred ninety are held in zoo conservation programs.S8: They are in danger because people hunt them. People in China use different parts of their body for medicine to cure diseases. They use weird parts of their body like their brains, eyes and tails. They are also being killed because they sell their bones, whiskers and other parts for money.S9: Another threat is the habitat loss. They are losing their habitat because peoplekeep cutting down trees and there isn't enough land for them. People also kill tigers to protect themselves and their livestock.T: Very good! You know much more than I. But who can explain “animals in danger”to the class?S10: I think animals' extinction is natural according to Darwin's theory. But if the speed of the animals' extinction is too fast, we can say they are in danger.T: You've got it. Do you know the reasons why many animals are in danger?S11: Most of the reasons are related to human activities.T: You are quite right. Man is really playing an important part. Can you list some of them?Ss: 1. They are killed for body parts or food.2. People want them for pets.3. People have moved into their habitat.4. They are killed by pollution.5. They are also killed by climate change.T: Very good! Now work in groups to discuss what the most important reason is according to the list on the screen.A few minutes later.T: What's your opinion?Ss: We think No. 1 is the most important reason.T: Maybe you are right. But who can give us some examples?S12: African elephants have been hunted for their tusks for a long time. The so-called “”ivorywas used as a source of all kinds of ornaments.S13: Here I have another example. The snow leopard is one of the most beautiful of the big cats and for many years the main threat to the species is hunting for its fur.T: OK. Read the passage on page 51 and discuss the question: What can we do to help the animals in their struggle for survival?After reading and discussing.T: Who volunteers to tell us your opinions?S14: We can save them by writing a letter to the government, starting a petition to make laws or take some other measures to save the animals.S15: We can join some Animal Conservation Organizations to help to protect them.S16: I can do little now but in the future I can save them by adopting an animal from a zoo or making a donation to an Animal Conservation Organization.T: Good! Everybody can make a difference if we have a try. Now read the passage again to find the words to match the meanings in the form on the screen. After a few minutes, check the answers together.Sample answers:MeaningsWordsspecies a type of animal or planthabitatthe place where animal lives naturallyStep II PracticeGet the students to learn the useful expressions by practice.T: Turn to page 57 and do Activity 1 in FUNCTION. Which one did you choose? Ss: No 3.T: Yes, You are quite right. Which are more or less formal than the example?Ss: No 1 and No 3.d like to read yours? T: Now do Activity 2. Who'm concerned about the milu deer. S1: I'm concerned about the South China tigers. 'S2: Im worried about the fishes in the East Sea. 'S3: IS4: We really should do more to the bird species.S5: I think we really should do more to Asian bears.'m worried about the wild horses in Inner Mongolia.S6: I s do ve learnt some useful structures to express concern. Let''T: Well done! Now youmore practice.Step III SpeakingGet the students to talk about animals in danger with the useful expressions on page 57.T: Work in groups. Follow the steps in Activity 1 of SPEAKING and talk about an animal in danger.A sample discussion:S1: We are concerned about the future of the snow leopard. The snow leopard is one of the most beautiful big cats and for many years the main threat to the species was hunting for its fur. The fur trade has decreased internationally in recent years, but other threats have manifested themselves and the species is still threatened.S2: I'm worried about the threats to them. One threat is that herders are increasingly moving their flocks into snow leopard territory and exhausting the local grazing. This affects the snow leopard in two ways. First, domestic livestock compete with wild sheep and goats for scarce grazing. This pushes the wild prey away to other areas. Snow leopards are territorial and if their natural prey is replaced by domestic livestock they will kill them instead. This leads to the second consequence: herders will kill snow leopards in retaliation for killing their animals.S3: It's really upsetting. Another threat is large-scale poisoning of small mammal populations. This has not only affected snow leopards, but also the other predators which feed on them.S4: Recent reports indicate that the snow leopard has been killed for its bones. These are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as substitutes for tiger bones. The plight of the tiger is well-known and its bones are banned from international trade. The trade in snow leopard and clouded leopard bones has flourished while the spotlight of publicity has focused on the higher-profile tigers.S5: I think we should do more to protect snow leopards. First WWF should have projects in the countries where snow leopards can be found in order to help fundanti-poaching patrols (as WWF has so successfully pioneered for Siberian tigers) in Mongolia, education program and a field study manual in Nepal, and surveys and a public awareness program in Pakistan.S6: I think the local government should be involved in implementing the SnowLeopard Survival Strategy. This will guide snow leopard conservation for years to come and relies upon integrating the needs of local people with those of snow compensationpatrols, anti-poaching include strategy the within Activities leopards.schemes (in which the whole village pays into a fund and any money accrued after a “”) and repair of corrals. dividendperiod of time is paid back to each villager as a These are stone shelters in which livestock are kept at night. By making them“”, snow leopards will not be able to get in and kill the livestock. predator-proofS7: My opinion is that the snow leopard, in common with all the big cats, should be listed on Appendix 1 of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which is the highest international protection currently available.S8: It can also be protected by laws. I hope more laws should be made in the countries involved according to their different threats such as punishing the poachers seriously, banning on poisoning small mammals .We believe that only by involving local communities in conservation strategies can we hope to secure a long-term future for this most beautiful of big cats.Step IV Everyday EnglishGet the students to do the activity of EVERYDAY ENGLISH and remember the phrases.T: Please choose the correct meanings in EVERYDAY ENGLISH. Then make sentences with the phrases. Who volunteers to report your sentences?S: I will have a try.1. She worked and kept an eye on the sick child at the same time.2.

I think as a nimble animal on the cold Qinghai-Tibet Olympic mascotPlateau, the Tibetan antelope can symbolize the Games' athletic spirit of competitionand perseverance. Moreover “Tibetan antelope as mascot of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games”symbolizes that multitude nationalities, including 56 nationalities, live happily in a big family. I back up Tibetan antelope as mascot of 2008 Beijing OlympicGames.S4: I've also read a piece of news recently.Themed “Tibetan Antelope in Hoh Xil ,Outlook for 2008”, a scientific inspection tourhas concluded recently and all its members have return Golmud in safe condition. This scientific inspection was organized by the Qinghai Provincial Government. Before the work in Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, the scientific inspection team set off on June 22 and arrived at Tibetan Antelope Protection Station through Golmud for a short adaptation to the local weather. Many media organizations accompanied the inspection tour.

Let's deal with some language problems. Do you have any difficulties?S1: In the sentence “Although surprised, the poachers had an advantage―there are more of them.”What structure “although surprised”belongs to?T: This structure belongs to ellipsis in adverbial clauses. It means “although thefollowingthe in clauses adverbialthe complete Please surprised”. were poachers sentences.1. If invited, I will attend her birthday party.2.

Although he was tired of the kind of job...3. While we were walking along the beach...4. When he was questioned...5. If it is possible...6. If it is necessary...T: Now examine the sentences carefully and discuss when ellipsis is used in adverbial clauses in groups. Have you drawn a conclusion?Ss: Yes.T: Good! Who volunteers to tell us yours?S1: When the subject in the clause is the same as in the main cause and “be”is, 2, 3 and 4.included in predicate we will omit the subject and “be”like 1.S2: And when the subject in the clause is “it”which has no meaning and “be”is included in predicate we will omit the subject and “be”like 5 and 6.T: You are quite right. Any other questions?S3: I have another problem. In the sentence “Often working at night, the poacher shoot whole herds of antelopes at a time, leaving only the babies”, there is no subordinating conjunction in the adverbial. Does this structure also belong to ellipsis?T: No. It doesn't belong to ellipsis. In this sentence the participle is used as an adverbial. They are two kinds of structures, but they are of the same effect. If we use a participle as an adverbial we don't use subordinating conjunction. Clear?Ss: Yes.T: Can you give some examples?Ss: Asked to answer the question, he became very nervous.Hearing the news, he jumped with joy.T: Good! You've got it.3. Passage AnalyzingUse some questions to guide the students to do some passage analyzing.T: Now discuss the questions on the screen with your partner.1. What's the writing style of the passage? What do you think of it?2. How many paragraphs can we divide the passage into?3. What's the characteristic of the passage?4. What's the main idea of the passage?5. What's the writing purpose of the passage?T: Have you finished your discussion?Ss: Yes.T: What style do you think the text belongs to?Ss: Flashback.T: What do you think of the writing style?S1: It can attract the readers' attention by narrating something important first.T: How many paragraphs can we divide it into?S2: I think each natural paragraph is a separate paragraph, so it can be divided into five paragraphs. In paragraph 1, the writer first relates why Jiesang Suonandajie died to arouse the readers' interest in reading the passage. As to Paragraph 2, 3, 4 and 5 the writer relates why the number of the antelope was reduced, why and how the poachers killed the animal, and how the Chinese government helped to protect the animal and the improvement of the present situation by quoting many numbers and dates which make its presentation quite convincing.T: I agree with you. But who volunteers to tell me the characteristics of the passage? S3: And its arrangement is proper and its presentation is clear.T: Good. What's the main idea of the passage?S4: The writer tells us some facts about the endangered antelope to make us realize the importance of protecting animals.T: What's the writing purpose?S5: By telling us some facts about the endangered antelope, the writer wants to promote the readers' awareness of protecting the antelope and other animals.T: You've done a very great job!Step IV Post-readingGet the students to discuss and answer the questions on the screen.T: Go through the questions on the screen and discuss them in groups.1. What do we learn from the text?2. Why do we have to prevent the animals from dying out?3. What can we do to help the animals?A few minutes later.T: Who'd like to answer the questions?S1: Everybody should try to protect the animals and other species so that we can livea better life and have a bright future.S2: Because all living things are living together in an ecosystem where each species has a specific function. Some plants provide a good environment for animals, and the animals may in turn help the plants by adding nutrients. That is to say, animals eat the plants and animals help the plants reproduce. We human-beings mainly live on plants and animals. They are our food, medicine and so on. If a species die out, it will break the balance of nature and affect the other living things including human beings. So we have to prevent the animals from dying out. In other words, to protect animals and other species is to protect ourselves.S3: We can help the animals in many different ways.a) Plant more trees instead of cutting down them.b) Don't kill too many animals.c) Protect their habitat.d) Build fewer new roads.e) Build more animal reserves.f) Open more national parks.g) Cut pollution.h) Repair the damage we have done.i) Protect animals in danger by law.T: Terrific!Step V Homework1.

Siberian Tiger can be found in parts of Siberia and northeast China.3. Northern Bald Ibis feed mostly on insects and small reptiles, but also eat fish and frogs.4. The population of Blue Whale is supposed to be less than 5,000; some experts believe the figure could be nearer 2,000.T: You are quite right. Let's read the description of the Siberian Tiger and then write a similar description of another animal in the table.Sample answers:S1: Blue Whale is the biggest animal in the world. It weighs more than 100 tons. It can be only found in oceans, especially in the Arctic and the Antarctic Waters. It preyson plankton, a kind of small micro-organism. The main threat to it is hunting for its oiland meat. Today the animal is almost extinct. It is said less than 5,000 are still alive. Maybe the total population is no more than 2,000.S2: African Elephant is the world's biggest land animal, which weighs about 5 tons. Its habitats are mainly in forests, river valleys and semi-desert south of Sahara Desert in Africa. It feeds on plants such as grass, leaves, fruit and so on. African elephants have been hunted for their tusks for a long time. The so called “ivory”was used as asource of all kinds of ornaments. There were about 1.3 million of them in 1980, but now it has fallen to 400,000.S3: Northern Bald Ibis is a large black bird which is famous for its long red peak. It mainly lives in Morocco and some other coastal areas. Many kinds of animals such as insects, small reptiles, even frogs and fishes fall prey to it. What has made it on the brink of extinction is still a puzzle. Some experts believe it's owing to the nature itself. —300 can be found now. People in Middle East are said to have seen the Only 200 birds recently.T: You've done very well!Step III TaskGet the students to choose an animal to describe it according to the instructions.T: From your homework I can see that you've got much information about endangered species in China. Now choose one of them to describe it and its habitat, explain why it is in danger, tell how many are left and say what we can do to help them.T: Have you finished it?Ss: Yes.T: OK. Present yours to the rest of your group. Who volunteers to read yours?S1: My title is Saving Hainan Gibbon Hainan gibbon is a member of primate, which is one of the world four gibbons. It is the smallest ape and looks like a monkey with long arms. It can be found in the thick forest in tropical and subtropical areas and lives in trees all year around no matter when it is resting or eating something. It can jump from tree to tree on its long arms and its hooked hands swiftly. Occasionally he walks on the ground with its body half standing and its two arms lifted above its head or bend on its sides. The way it walks is rather funny. It lives in groups and can cry for a long time at a time. Twigs and tender leaves are its main prey. But with theover-development of the local economy around its habitat, many trees have been cut endangeredan it made has This reduced. greatly been has habitat its and downanimal. Its total number was only 20 in 1998. In order to prevent it from extinction we should stop over-developing and cutting down too many trees. We can build Gibbon reserves, plant more trees, and make laws to protect it.S2: I' m going to talk about Saiga. Saiga is a member of Bovidae family. It is a type of graceful animal whose nose is rather large. Its coat is yellow brown but white on its stomach and turns grey in winter. The adult male Saiga has horns and can run very。
