The Monkees------Now I'm A Believer

作词：Neil Diamond

I thought love was only true in fairy tales

Meant for someone else but not for me

Love was out to get me, that's the way it seemed

Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I'm in love, I'm a believer

I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a given thing

Seems the more I gave the less I got

What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain

When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer

Not a trace of doubt in my mind

I'm in love, I'm a believer

I couldn't leave her if I tried 教案【二】

I. Warming up

Warming up by describing

Good morning, class. Today we are going to talk about an interesting topic --- music. As we know, music is a kind of art of making pleasing combinations of sounds in rhythm, harmony and counterpoint. Music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere and bring people relaxation after hard work, which can reduce the tiredness. Listening to music also makes people feel happy and nice. How many do you know about music? Can you tell about different kinds of music? Now turn to page 33, look at the pictures, read the captions and listen to the different kinds of music. See if you can guess which music matches with which picture.

Warming up by discussing

Hi, everyone. Do you like music? How much do you know about music? Can you tell about the different kinds of music? Please turn to page 33. Look at the pictures. Let’s listen to some music. Let’s see if you can guess which music matches with which picture.

Classical music Country music Rock ‘n’ Roll

Rap Orchestra Folk music

Yes, you are right. I’m sure you will really enjoy yourselves after listening to all these beautiful music. What kind of music do you like better, Chinese or Western, classical or modern? Why? How does music make you feel? Why do you like to listen to music? Let’s discuss these questions in small groups. Try to share your opinions with one another.

II. Pre-reading

1.Thinking and saying

Have you heard about any of the famous bands in the world? List some if you can.

For reference: I’ve heard about “The Beatles”, “Back Street Boys”, “The Eagles”, “West life” and “Pink Floyd”.

2.Listening, talking and sharing

Let’s listen to some pieces of music from different bands. Work in groups of four. Tell your group mates which band you like best. Why? Then the group leader is to stand up and share the group idea with the

class.

For reference: I am from Group 1. Our group likes “The Beatles” best. We like their style of performances. Listening to their performances, we will feel relaxed, amused, and their performances make us think a lot about life.

Do you know anything about “The Monkees”?

For reference: “The Monkees” is a band that was first popular in the 1960s in America. Unlike most bands of the time, the Monkees were not formed by its members but rather by TV producers. They were a fictional band in the TV show of the same name. The band was composed of Mike Nesmith, Mickey Dolenz, Davy Jones, and Peter Tork. All the members had some musical experience. Let’s come to the reading --- The Band That Wasn’t and find more about them.

III. Reading

1.Reading aloud to the recording

Now please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text THE BAND THAT WASN’T. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence. I will play the tape twice and you shall read aloud twice, too.

1st paragraph: How do people get to form a band?

2nd paragraph: Most musicians meet and form a band.

3rd paragraph: One band started as a TV show.

4th paragraph: “The Monkees” became even more popular than “The Beatles”.

3.Reading and transferring information

changes of the band The band broke up in about 1970, but reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, which was a celebration of their time as a real band.

4. Reading and understanding difficult sentences

As you have read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me.

IV. Closing down

Closing down by doing exercises

To end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises No. 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Closing down by having a discussion

Do you think the TV organizers were right to call “The Monkees” a band when they did not sing or write their own songs? Why?

For reference: I don’t think the TV organizers were right to call “The Monkees” a band when they did not sing or write their own songs because singing and writing its own songs was the basis of a band.

Do you agree that the jokes were more important than the music for this band? Give a reason.

For reference: Yes. I think it is the jokes that really attract more fans.

No. I think the purpose of forming a band is getting people to enjoy the spirit of music. It’s more important than playing jokes just to make people laugh.

Closing down by retelling the form of the band The Monkees.

I shall write some key words and expressions on the board. You are to retell the form of the band according to these words.
