五、Teaching procedures: Step 1 Lead in

Have students pay attention to the title “Stand up for your health” and explain it. Tell them that for one thing, ‘stand- up ’ is a form of comedy, for another, ‘stand up for’ is a phrase, which means protecting or safeguarding something. When explaining ‘comedy’, show students three pictures that are other forms of comedy.

【设计意图】从题目入手，解释单口喜剧，并解释stand up for 作为短语有维护，保护的意思，让学生深刻理解题目含义，同时利用图片，扩展学生关于喜剧类型的相关知识，引起学生的兴趣和好奇心，为下一步的阅读做好铺垫。

Step 2 Structure reading Have students skim the passage quickly and try to analyse the main structure of it. Show students the structure of the passage on the PPT.

The Introduction of stand-up

Types of stand-up

Step 3 Careful reading 1.

The introduction of stand-up

Have students watch a short video of stand-up show to help them better understand what stand up is like.

【设计意图】因为课文的四个部分相对独立，让学生部分阅读有利于学生注意力的集中和教师的有效引导。

Step 4 Strategy reading

Draw

students attention to the Reading strategy, which teaches how to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context. Tell students two methods of guessing meanings of new words, one is to read the words before or after the unknown word, and the other is to look at the way a word is used.

Step 5 Game and practice 1.

List 5 pictures of comedians both in China and abroad for the students to choose from, each one representing one activity. 2.

Ask students to choose from, and then finish the related activities together. 【设计意图】这一部分作为课堂的巩固有两个作用：一是学生在分块学习课文的三部分后，能再有一个复习回顾的机会；二是在学完课文之后让学生字词基础上有更开阔的思维空间，能将所学和生活联系起来。同时，有趣的游戏环节和多变的活动形式激发了学生主动了解课文和理解课文的兴趣。

Step 6 Post reading activities
