Unit 1 Breaking records Period 2 A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language (The Subject ) Introduction

In this period students will be reading aloud the learned text to the tape first to fresh their memory of the text. Then they shall learn about the root, a prefix and a suffix. After that they go on to study the Subject and do the structure exercises.

Objectives ■

To help students learn about the Subject ■

To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions Procedures 1. Warming up by reading aloud to the recording Hello, class. You need good role models for reading. Hearing a teacher, a tape recorder, read aloud allows you to hear the phrasing, inflections, and expressions that a good reader uses. How can you learn this if all you hear is your classmates stumbling through an oral passage? Buy a tape recorder and the tapes to go with the textbooks to read aloud to the recordings. Now listen and read to the recording of the text "THE ROAD IS ALWAYS AHEAD OF YOU".

2. Discovering useful words and expressions An English word can consist of three parts: the root, a prefix and a suffix. The root is the part of the word that contains the basic meaning (definition) of the word. The root is the base element of the word. A prefix is a word element that is placed in front of a root. A prefix changes the word's meaning or makes a new word. A suffix is a word element that is placed after the root. The suffix changes the word's meaning as well as its function (use). Prefixes and suffixes are called affixes because they are attached to a root. Now go to page 4 do exercises 1, 2 and 3.

3. Learning about the subject Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject. The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. You can find the subject of a sentence if you can find the verb. Ask the question, "Who or what 'verbs' or 'verbed'?" and the answer to that question is the subject. For instance, in the sentence "The computers in the Learning Center must be replaced," the verb is "must be replaced." What must be replaced? The computers. So the subject is "computers." A simple subject is the subject of a sentence stripped of modifiers. 高考单选题中的“主语从句”
