《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。

Period 1 Reading 阅读课

Warming Up

教师可以从“了解澳洲”、“看图说话”和“听国歌”三种热身形式选择一种导入新课，激发背景知识、为其后的阅读作好词语、结构和心理的准备。

Pre-reading主要是通过朗读活动帮助学生熟悉课文，为其后的阅读做心理的铺垫和准备。

Reading是篇说明文，说明澳大利亚的地理、风俗、旅游和动物。教师应引导学生从语言形式入手学习课文，进而理解意义。我们提供的“表格”、“结构图”等，都可以帮助学生理解词语、把握结构、理解课文。补充：澳大利亚全国有多种自然景观，其中包括迷人的热带雨林，被称为“红色中央”的干燥贫瘠的沙漠，白雪皑皑的山峰，绵羊遍野的牧场以及引人入胜的海滨，还有驰名遐迩的天然遗产大堡礁和乌卢鲁岭（原称艾尔斯岭）。

Warming up by leaning something about Commonwealth of Australia Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy. It boasted one of the OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990s, a performance due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980s. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef ⑵Warming up by looking and saying

Look at the photo? What is it? Yes, it is a Tammar Wallaby. The Tammar Wallaby is a small member of the kangaroo family and is the type species for research on kangaroos and marsupials. They are found on offshore islands on the South Australian and Western Australian

coast. They are classified as vermin on Kangaroo Island, where they seasonally breed up to large numbers and damage the echidna habitat on the island. Tammar Wallabies are also found in New Zealand where they were transported from the South Australian mainland population which has since been driven to extinction by feral cats and foxes. Also known as the Darma Wallaby, the Tammar Wallaby's small size (approx 8kg, similar to a large cat) and ease of keeping in captivity makes it a popular zoo animal. ⑶Warming up by listening to THE SONG OF AUSTRALIA THE SONG OF AUSTRALIA There is a land where summer skies Are gleaming with a thousand dyes, Blending in witching harmonies, in harmonies; And grassy knoll, and forest height, Are flushing in the rosy light, And all above in azure bright - Australia!

There is a land where honey flows, Where laughing corn luxuriant grows, Land of the myrtle and the rose, On hill and plain the clust'ring vine, Is gushing out with purple wine, And cups are quaffed to thee and thine - Australia!

There is a land where treasures shine Deep in the dark unfathomed mine, For worshippers at Mammon's shrine, Where gold lies hid, and rubies gleam, And fabled wealth no more doth seem

The idle fancy of a dream - Australia!

There is a land where homesteads peep From sunny plain and woodland steep, And love and joy bright vigils keep, Where the glad voice of childish glee Is mingling with the melody For nature's hidden minstrelsy - Australia!

There is a land where, floating free, From mountain top to girdling sea, A proud flag waves exultingly, And freedom's sons the banner bear, No shackled slave can breathe the air, Fairest of Britain's daughters fair - Australia! 2. Pre-reading by reading the text aloud Reading aloud to yourself (from books that are age and content appropriate) is an excellent way to familiarize you with a new language. It is impossible to read and comprehend what you read unless you already know most of the vocabulary included in the reading. So let’s go to the vocabulary list first to make a story out of the list, using your knowledge of English grammar and your imagination of life events. 3. Reading for forms Read the GLIMPSES OF AUSTRALIA and others on page 22 to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken

the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions. 4. Copying expressions and making sentences
