Unit 16 Lesson 63

Hello, everyone. Today I’m very pleased to have an opportunity to talk about some of my teaching ideas. My topic is life in the oceans taken from Lesson 63 of Unit 16 in SEFC(2). It is made up of four parts.

Part 1 My understanding of this lesson

The analysis of the teaching material:

This lesson is a reading passage. It plays a very important part in the English teaching of this unit. Lesson 62 and Lesson 63 are a whole unit. By studying Lesson 63, Ss can improve their reading ability, learn more about the sea and the life in the oceans. At the same time, we should get the students to understand some difficult sentences to comprehend the passage better. The Ss should do some listening, speaking and writing, too. Of course, the Ss should receive some moral education. Let the Ss understand the sea better, love the sea and save the sea and the life of the sea.

Teaching aims:

1. Knowledge aim: Understand the main idea of the text.

2. Ability aim: Retell the text in their own words.

3. Emotional aim: Make the Ss love the life of the sea and do something to stop it being polluted.

Key points / Teaching important points:

How to understand the text better.

Teaching difficult points:

1. Use your own words to retell the text.

2. Discuss the pollution of the sea and how to save the sea.

Something about the Ss:

1. The Ss have known something about the sea and sea life through the Internet and other ways.

2. They are lack of vocabulary.

3. They don’t often use English to express themselves and communicate with others.

4. Some Ss are not active in the class because they are afraid of making mistakes.

Part 2 My teaching theories, methods and aids

Before dealing with this lesson, I’ll do my best to carry out the following theories: Make the Ss the real masters in class while the teacher himself acts as director; Combine the language structures with the language functions; Let the students receive some moral education while they are learning the English language.

Teaching method:

Double activities teaching method

Question-and-answer activity teaching method

Watch-and-listen activity

Free discussion method

Pair work or individual work method

Teaching aids:

1. a projector

2. a tape recorder

3. multimedia

4. the blackboard

Part 3. Teaching steps / procedures

I have designed the following steps to train their ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing, especially reading ability.

The entire steps are:

Greetings, Revision, Lead-in and preparation for reading, Fast reading(scanning), Listening, Intensive reading, Preparation for details of the text, Consolidation, Discussion, Homework

Step 1 Greetings

Greet the whole class as usual.

Step 2. Revision

1. Ask students some questions to revise the last lesson(show them on the screen).

a. How much salt do the oceans contain per thousand parts of water?(35 parts of salt. 3.5% by weight)

b. What is coral? Why are corals not found in deep water?

c. Why is the Dead Sea called the Dead Sea?

2. Check the homework(made a survey about the sea or sea life by surfing the Internet or asking for help from other people). Through this part we can consolidate what they studied yesterday, communicate with others about their survery results and prepare for the new lesson.

Step 3. Lead-in and preparation for reading

Show them some pictures and let them talk each other, and then use the pictures about sea and life in the oceans to learn new words, for example, Antarctica, huge whale, sperm whale, squid and so on.

Purpose: Arouse the students’ interest of study.

Bring in new subject: Life in the oceans.

Step 4. Fast reading

Read the passage as quickly as they can. I show the questions on the screen and let them get the main idea of each paragraph:

1. Why can living things live in such oceans around the Antarctica?

2. What does the whale feed on?

3. What is the difference between the sperm whale and other whales?

Method: Read the text individually, use question—and—answer activity.

Purpose: Improve the students’ reading ability.

Understand the general idea of each paragraph.

Step 5. Listening(book closed)

1. Listen to the tape then do an exercise(wb page 90, part 1)

2. True or false exercise.(on the screen)

Train the Ss’ listening ability and prepare for later exercises.

Step 6. Intensive reading

Read the passage carefully again and answer some detailed questions on the screen.

1. How much does a whale eat at a time?

2. Do all the whales feed on small fish?

3. How deep can a sperm whale dive?

It is also called depth reading or study reading. It means reading for detailed information.

Purpose: Further understand the text (Train further reading ability) to find out some different sentences and details of the text.

Step 7. Preparation for details of the text on the screen

1. ...its heart slows to half its normal speed.

slow-v. to become / make slower.

2. ...using sound wave

Present participle used as adverbial.

3. provide sth. for sb.

provide sb. with sth.

4. at a time: each time

5. grow to a length of...

Purpose: Train the Ss’ ability of understanding and using laguage.

Step 8. Consolidation

1. Find out the topic sentences.

2. Retell the passage according to the topic sentences.

Purpose: I want to know if my students understand the whole text really and if they master what I mean to tell them in this class. What’s more, I want to let them have the ability of introducing and analyzing expression. At the same time, I will write down the topic sentences on the blackboard according to what the students find, so they can retell it easily.

Step 9. Discussion

Show them some pictures about the polluted sea and many living things which are in danger and ask them: What are their opinions about it? In order to let them have free choice, I give them another topic: The sea is being polluted. What should they do?

Purpose: I mean to give them emotional education. I give them multi-media pictures to arouse their interest of study and their love for life. I mean to make them realize: The sea is in danger!

I teach them to do their best to help it and do something from now on. Everyone should do something to love and protect our home.

Step 10. Homework

Write an article Saving the sea. I want to improve the ability of their writing. At the same time, train the ability of do-it-yourself and looking up the information by themseleves.

Part 4. Blackboard design

Unit 16 Lesson 63

Topic Sentences:

1. Some living things can live in Antarctica.(what)

2. The whale feeds on small fish.(what)

3. The sperm whale feeds on squid.(difference)

Discussion:

1. The whales are in danger. What’s your opinion about it?

2. The sea is being polluted. What should we do?

In my opinion, the blackboard design can reflect the teacher’s ability of mastering the text and leading the students to master the text easily.

In this text, the design is not easy to write. I write the topic sentences on the blackboard in order to tell the students that this is of the importance in this class. The discussion is of the difficulty.

I want to make the design inductive, instructive and artistic.

教学过程

StepⅠ Lead-in

Ask the students to think of some great inventions and inventors in history.

T: Welcome back to school, everyone. I guess most of you have enjoyed your holiday. Maybe I should say everyone has enjoyed a scientific life. Why? Because you have enjoyed the results of the science and scientists. Now can you tell me the scientists who invented the lights, the gramophone and the computer?

S1: Edison invented the lights and the gramophone.

S2: The first computer was invented by a group of American scientists.

StepⅡ Warming up

First, ask some questions about great scientists. Second, ask all the students to try the quiz and find out who knows the most.

T: You know our life is closely related to science and scientists. We benefit a lot from them. Can you name out as many scientists as possible?

S1: Newton.

S2: Watt.

S3: Franklin.

Sample answers:

Get the students to discuss the questions on page 1 with their partners. Then ask the students to report their work. Encourage the students to express their different opinions.

T: Now, class, please look at the slide. Discuss these questions with your partners. Then I’ll ask some students to report their work.

Show the following on the screen.

What do you know about infectious diseases?

What do you know about cholera?

Do you know how to prove a new idea in scientific research?

What order would you put the seven in? Just guess.

Sample answer 1:

S1: Let me try. Infectious diseases can be spread easily. They have an unknown cause and may do great harm to people.

S2: People could be exposed to infectious diseases, so may animals, such as bird flu.

S3: AIDS, SARS are infectious diseases.

S4: Infectious diseases are difficult to cure.

Sample answer 2:

S1: Cholera is caused by a bacterium called Varian cholera.

S2: It infects people’s intestines, causing diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps.

S3: The most common cause of cholera is people eat food or drink water that has been contaminated by the bacteria.

S4: Cholera can be mild or even without symptoms, but a severe case can lead to death without immediate treatment.

Sample answer 3:

S1: I know sth. about it. First we should find the problem. Then, think of a solution.

S2: We should collect as much information as possible.

S3: Analyzing results is the most important stage.

S4: Before we make a conclusion, it is necessary for us to repeat some stages or processes.

Sample answer 4:

S1: I think “Find a problem” should be the first stage.

S2: “Make up a question” should follow the first stage.

S3: “Think of a method”, “Collect results” and “Analyze results” are after that.

S4: Of course, before “Make a conclusion”, we should “Repeat if necessary”.

T: Well done! When we want to solve some problems, first we should find out the problem, do some research on it, prove your findings, and then make a conclusion. This is a scientific and objective way of researching. Now let’s see how doctor John Snow did his research.

Step Ⅳ Reading

Let the students skim the whole passage and try to work out the meanings of the new words and structures using context.

T: The effect of cholera in the nineteenth century London was devastating. Many people died without knowing the reason. It was doctor John Snow who saved the people. Please look at the screen. Let’s read the whole passage and find answers to the questions.

Show the questions on the screen.

1. What conditions allowed cholera develop?

2. Why do you think people believed that cholera multiplied in the air without reason?

3. What evidence did John Snow gather to convince people that idea 2 was right?

Sample answers:

S1: The dirty water made the cholera develop quickly.

S2: Because people could not understand its cause and could not get it cured. So people imagined that some poisonous gas in the air caused the deaths.

S3: He found that many of the deaths were near the water pump while some areas far away from the water pump had no deaths. So when people were asked not to use the water pump, the disease began to slow down. In this way, John Snow had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas.

Making Way

Once Goethe(歌德), the great German poet，was walking in a park. He was thinking about something when he noticed he came to a very, very narrow road. Just at that time, a young man came towards him from the other end of the road. It was too narrow for both of them to pass through at the same time. They stopped and looked at each other for a while. Then the young man said rudely，“I never make way for a fool.” But Goethe smiled and said, “I always do.” Then he turned back quickly and walked towards the end of the road.

Weather Report

Here’s the weather report for the next 24 hours. Beijing will be fine with the temperature from 4 to 13. Tokyo will be fine too and cloudy later in the day. The lowest temperature is l to 8. London will be rainy and windy later in the day. The highest temperature is 8 and the lowest is 4. New York will be sunny and cloudy later in the day. The temperature is 13 to 19.

Heartbeating

Put your hand to the left side of your chest. Try to feel your heartbeating. The heart takes a little rest after each pump or beat. In boys or girls of your age, heart beats about 90 times a minute. A grown-up’s heart beats about 70 or 80 times a minute. But the heartbeat is different in the same person at different times. For example, the heart beats faster during exercise. It is also faster when a person is angry, scared, or excited. During sleep, the heartbeat slows down.

Sample answers:

S1: I think the first piece “Making A Way” is in a style of creative writing. The second piece belongs to a description style. The third piece belongs to a report style.

T: Very good. Now let’s return to our text. Who can tell me the main idea of this passage?

S2: I can. Clearly it tells us how John Snow defeated the disease cholera by doing scientific research.
