A Taste of English Humor Period 4

Using Language 教案设计

The analysis of the materials: Language is learned to be used in and for communication. So in this period we shall have the students read, listen, write and speak in English, making use of the focused words, expressions, structures and topic ideas covered in this unit. Warming up by reading school jokes comes first to be followed by reading and underlining and doing the exercises. Guided speaking and writing will lead to the end of the period: closing down by acting. Teaching goals: To enjoy reading the paragraph of Jokes about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson To learn to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing To raise the interest of doing more research about English humor Teaching Important points and Difficult points: Help the students learn how to understand and enjoy English humors. Help the students know the differences between English and Chinese in humors. Teaching procedures: 1. Warming up

W: Swimming. I think!

(The first person is angry about something and wants to say “Why is this here?” The second person treats it as a request for information and gives an answer to the question.)

Joke2: C: What’s that?

W: It’s bean soup.

C: I don’t want to know what it’s been. I want to know what it is now.

(The answer to the question contains a word which, when spoken, can have two meanings.)

Joke3: C: Waiter. Will the pancakes be long? W: No, sir. Round.

(The first person is asking for information about time. The second person treats it as a question about shape.)
