Using LanguageⅡ教案1

Teaching Design Introduction In this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to pre-read the text by talking about invention. Then they will read for forms, copy and making sentences, read to transform information, read the text for the type of writing and summary of The problem of the snakes and read to draw a diagram of the text and retell the test in your own words.

Objectives To help students understand the text’s forms and contents

and

learn about inventors and inventions To help students communicate on the topic in focus with the words, collocations and structures learned in this unit II 目标语言

Make a telephone call Hold the line, please. Hang on, please. Just a moment, please. I’m sorry, but this phone is out of order.

I can’t get through. Sorry.

Can I ring back later? I’ll ring him / her up again.

Procedures 1. Warming up by reading aloud to the recording of the text Do you read aloud to your students? Do you ever ask your students to read aloud to the recording of the text?

Is there ever a time when students are too old to be read to? Many teachers are firm believers in reading aloud -- even at the upper grade levels! Many teachers believe reading aloud enhances classroom instruction and improves academic achievement --- and recent research supports their belief.

Now I am going to play the tape and you are going to read aloud to it. 2. Discovering useful words and collocations Now it’s time to do the two exercises on page 23. Check your work with your partner. 3. Talking about the participle The Participle A participle is an adjective formed from a verb. To make a present participle, you add "-ing" to the verb, sometimes doubling the final consonant: "think" becomes "thinking"

"fall" becomes "falling"

"run" becomes "running"

The second type of participle, the past participle, is a little more complicated, since not all verbs form the past tense regularly. The following are all past participles: the sunken ship

a ruined city

a misspelled word

Note that only transitive verbs can use their past participles as adjectives, and that unlike other verbals, past participles do not take objects (unless they are part of a compound verb). Past Participle To form the past participle of a verb, add the ending -ed to the base form. (But note that many common verbs have irregular past participle forms.) The past participle is used in the following circumstances:

＊After the auxiliary have in the perfect tense

Has the gas chromatograph been fixed yet? ＊After a form of the auxiliary be in the passive voice

The gas chromatograph was fixed on Monday. ＊After the verbs have and get with a causative meaning

We had the gas chromatograph fixed last week. ＊As a passive participial adjective

The recently fixed gas chromatograph is broken again. 4. Discovering useful structures You are next to do the exercises 1, 2, 3, and 4 on page 23 and 24.

Copying and making sentences Collocations are useful for you to learn to express in English. So you shall go over the text again to copy down all the useful collocations. Collocations from ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL almost entirely deaf几乎全聋, become interested in…对……感兴趣, help deaf people do…帮助聋人做……, in deaf education从事聋人教育, in such a way that…以一定的方式, leave…occasionally偶尔离开, dive into…深入到……, follow… up跟踪……, explore all around…不断探索……, think about…思考……, occupy one’s mind占据某人的头脑, the result of thought思考的结果, explore around problems探索问题,a multiple telegraph多路电报, send a message over distances跨距离传递信息, use Morse code用莫尔斯电码, a series of…一系列……, tap… out击打出……,in a particular order以特定的次序, go at a time一次……, send several messages at the same time同时发出几个信息, design a machine设计一种机器, separate different sound waves分离不同的声波, allow…to be done允许……被……, at the same time同时, solve problems解决问题, experiment with…做……实验, be joined to…连接到……,speak into the ear对着耳朵说话, draw sound waves on a piece of smoked glass把声波画在被烟熏过的玻璃上, have a flash of inspiration灵机一动, be reproduced in a moving electrical current以连续运动的电流形式复制, be sent along a wire沿着导线传送, improve the telegraph改进电报, be fully aware of…完全意识到……, be laid on to houses铺到各家,

4. Transforming information Now you are to read the text and transform information by filling in the blanks. When and where was Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Scotland. Alexander Bell born? What was his most "Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. Every famous saying?

time you do you will be certain to find something that you have never seen before. Follow it up, explore all around it, and before you know it, you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind. All really big discoveries are the result of thought.”

What led him to his It was this exploring around problems that led to his most famous most invention? What was the If sound waves could be reproduced in a moving electrical current, they famous invention---the telephone in 1876．

Graham inspiration that he could be sent along a wire. had suddenly? What did he write to "The day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid on to houses just his father? like water or gas---and friends will talk to each other without leaving home.”
