the 奇人的奇特事迹。

据说每年全球各地成千上万人申报吉尼斯世界纪录，仅在2001年就有6万人申报了纪录，成功的大有人在。目前从申报资料的统计结果来看，申报最多的地区依次为美国、英国、澳大利亚和印度。

贯穿于本单元的句法项目是“词语/短语/不定式/从句做主语”。

写作项目是：人物档案。

《金色教案》教学设计在单元课时划分上与课本保持一致，即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中，我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排的因素，对课本、对《金色教案》教学设计重新划分课时、裁剪、拼接使用我们提供的材料，以便“物尽所用”，达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以按照我们提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。

Warming Up

“热身”的目的是为阅读在一定程度上作好话题、词汇和结构的准备，激发学生相关的背景知识和学习兴趣。对此我们提供了Warming up by learning about “records”，

Warming up by celebrating "Guinness World Records" day和Warming up by getting to know what Guinness World Records is三种不同的“热身”设计供教师选用。实际操作中还需要教师动用诸如板书、投影等辅助手段，以达到最佳教学效果。

Pre-reading 部分帮助学生了解What is hula hoping? What is jumping jack? What is somersault? 为其后的阅读做知识的铺垫和准备。

Reading 是篇记叙文，记叙了创造和申报吉尼斯世界纪录的奇人Ashrita Furman奇特事迹。教师可以参考我们提供的教学设计，应当引导学生从形式和内容两方面阅读文章，并为下一节知识课“词语/短语/不定式/从句做主语”作好铺垫。
