镇海中学王俊杰

Teaching aims: In this lesson, students will be able to

1.listen to a video/the record and take down what the speakers said in the form of

blank-filling tasks and Q&A.

resumes of some examples.

5. deliver an awarding speech to an Ig Nobel Prize laureate describing its research

and presenting its quality..

6. understand the significance of scientific jobs and the qualities great scientists

should have.

Difficult points: 1. Students will feel it difficult to extract the target words from authentic listening material at a relatively fast speed.

2. Students will find it difficult to summarize the central idea of a piece of

listening material.

3.Students will find it difficult to deliver a speech as an oral presentation in class. Important points：In this lesson,

1. Students will mainly focus their attention on the topic of great scientists by

describing their achievements and characteristics through listening and

speaking activities.

2. Students will learn to put to use what they have acquired in the lesson in the

output part by speaking in a set context (the Ig Nobel Prize awarding

ceremony).

Teaching Procedures:

Step1. Lead-in.

1.Free talk

Students will talk about what they want to be when they are kids. The classic answer “scientist” will be introduced.

【设计说明】：以问答形式引出科学家这一关键词，打开话题。

2. Listening to a song

Students will watch the music video of The Big Bang Theory Theme Song and complete a sentence taken from the song.

Scientists are our b and b figure that it’ll make a even bigger bang!

Keys: best; brightest

【设计说明】：通过欣赏美剧《生活大爆炸》的主题曲，吸引学生对“科学家”这一话题的兴趣，以挖词填空的方式检验学生的理解同时使其对科学家的形象有一个宏观的印象。歌

曲取材切合学生兴趣点、紧扣话题并能激发学生学习热情。

Step2. Presentation.

Game: Who am I?

Students will play the guessing game to describe the appearance and achievements of some great scientists.

Rules: Students will be divided into four groups to take part in the game. The participant will choose a card and turn around to group members and ask them questions to guess who is behind the card.

【设计说明】：在有了对科学家形象的初步印象后，通过猜谜游戏结合具体的科学家形象让学生展开话题。分组竞赛的游戏形式增强了课堂呈现的趣味性和课堂主体的参与度，这一

活动也为之后的头脑风暴做了铺垫。

2. Brainstorming

Students will try to talk freely about the qualities a great scientist should own by using some adjectives.

【设计说明】：学生通过自由发言的形式描述科学家应有的品质和性格，为后面的听力和口语输出活动做准备。

Step3. Listening

Students will listen to the opening scene of a BBC documentary on science and figure out what science is about and what factors play active roles in making it.
