Procedures 1. Warming up

⑴Warming up by talking about what music is Good morning, class. Today we are going to talk about an interesting topic——music. But what is 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. ⑵Warming up by talking about different kinds of music Hi, everyone. Do you like music? How much do you know about music?

2. Pre-reading by talking about bands In music, a band is a company of musicians, or musical ensemble, usually popular or folk, playing parts of or improvising a musical arrangement on different musical instruments. Have you heard about any of the famous bands in the world? Do you know anything about “The Monkees”? I’ve heard about “The Beatles”, “Back Street Boys”, “The Eagles”, “West life” and “Pink Floyd”.

I like “The Beatles” best. I like their style of performances. Listening to their performances, I feel relaxed, amused, and their performances make us think a lot about life. “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. 3. Reading aloud to the recording

Now please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text on page 34 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. 4. Reading and underlining Next you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework. Collocations from THE BAND THAT WASN’T dream of doing , at a concert，sing karaoke , be honest with oneself, get to form a band, practice one’s music, play to passers-by, in the subway, earn some extra money, begin as a TV show, play jokes on…, be based loosely on…, the TV organizers, make good music, put an advertisement in a newspaper, look for rock musicians, pretend to do sth., the attractive performances, be copied by…, support them fiercely, become more serious about…, play their own instruments, produce

9. Retelling the text with the help of the diagram A retold passage of the text If we are honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we all have dreamed of becoming famous sometimes in our lives. Most musicians often meet and form a band. Sometimes they play in the street to passers-by so that they can earn some extra money and this also gives them a chance to realize their dreams. There was once a band which was started in a different way. The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other and played music, whose music and jokes were loosely based on the Beatles. Their exciting performances were copied by other groups. After a year or so, they became more serious of their work. “The Monkees” played their own instruments and wrote their own music. Though it broke up in 1970, it reunited in the mid-1980s and it is still popular today. 10. Closing down by taking a quiz Fill in the blank with one word to complete the summary of the text.
