Unit 1 Nothing ventured nothing gained教学设计1 第一部分

《金色教案》教学设计说明

About the topic 本单元的话题是“Nothing venture, nothing gained”，学生将了解到：and structures 单元话题和结构

the 毅力，是人的一种“心理忍耐力”，是一个人完成学习、工作、事业的“持久力”。当它与人的期望、目标结合起来后，它会发挥巨大的作用。在所有的成功者中，有没有毅力，坚强不坚强，起着决定性的作用；而对失败者来说，缺乏毅力几乎是他们共同的弱点。

本单元还将学习“The Attribute ”。

《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 以阅读以获得“语言形式”、罗列“中国格言”和学习“矛盾修辞”形式激发背景知识、补充背景，为其后的阅读作好词语、结构和心理的准备。教师可补充：“古之立大事者，不唯有超世之才，亦必有坚忍不拔之志。”（苏轼）“最后的成功，归于最后的努力者。”（孙中山）“顽强的毅力可以克服任何障碍。”（达·芬奇）“在科学上没有平坦的大道，只有不畏劳苦沿着陡峭山路攀登的人，才有希望达到光辉的顶点。”（马克思）

Pre-reading要求学生了解有关南极的事实，了解什么是“探险”。教师补充：南极洲是地球上最遥远最孤独的大陆，它严酷的奇寒和常年不化的冰雪，长期以来拒人类于千里之外。数百年来，为征服南极洲，揭开它的神秘面纱，数以千计的探险家，前仆后继，奔向南极洲，表现出不畏艰险和百折不挠的精神，创造了可歌可泣的业绩，为我们今天能够认识神秘的南极做出了巨大的贡献。我们在欣赏南极美丽美观景色的同

时，不会忘记对他们表示我们崇高的敬意。 Reading是篇记叙文，记叙Perce Blackborow 追随Sir Ernest Shackleton，赴南极探险的艰险历程。教师应引导学生从形式和内容两方面阅读课文，理解词语、结构和所述事实。

教师补充：1914年8月，沙克尔顿计划从威德尔海的科茨地乘雪橇穿越，直抵罗斯海。但他所乘的

“持久”号被大块浮冰所困，而向北漂浮到威德尔海，最后沉没。船上的一行人在大块浮冰

上漂流，最后到了象海豹岛。此后，沙克尔顿等5人又从象海豹岛乘小艇抵达东北约1300公里

处的南乔治亚岛，最终搭救了在象海豹岛上的全部队员。

Period 2 Learning about language

Learning about language和课本一样，《金Learning about 色教案》也分两部分：词法和句法。第一部分是词法训练，强化学生对language 知识课

本单元重点词汇、短语的掌握和使用；第二部分是句法训练，学习和使用英语“将来被动式”。

教师以对话体再现阅读课课文开始本节教师，以“定语”学习、演练展开，最后引导学生仿写7页上的阅读短文以活用语言知识，提高语用能力。

Period 3 Using language 运用课

Using language首先引导学生阅读“成功的失败”的第2部分，依然围绕语言形式展开，然后要求学生仿写刚才读过的文章。学生可以参考我们提供的范例。

实际教学过程课时划分建议

Period 1

Period 2 将Warming Up、 Pre-reading、Reading和Comprehending整合在一起上一节“阅读课”。

将Learning about language 和Workbook中的 USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS、USING STRUCTURES 整合在一起上一节“语言知识课”。

Period 3 将Using language 设计为一节包括听说读写单项技能或组合技能训练的“综合技能课（一）”。

Period 4 将Workbook 的READING AND LISTENING和TALKING整合在一起上一节“听说课”。

Period 5 将Workbook 的LISTENING TASK、READING AND WRITING TASK和

SPEAKING TASK整合为一节“综合技能课（二）”。

Section 1 Background 背景

Section 2 Explanation 解析

Section 3 Vocabulary 词汇

围绕单元话题“没有付出就没有收获”我们提供了若干实用性背景材料。这些材料既可以作为教师教学参考材料为教师所用，也可以直接或改写、重组后作为课堂内外的拓展性阅读材料呈现给学生。

重点针对“阅读课型”中的课文难句，我们提供了详尽的，就句论句的解析和翻译，并且以解析的焦点话题为线索，进行了一定的归纳、辨析和总结，以帮助教师更好地实施“语言形式”的教学。

按照课本单元词汇表顺序，我们重点提供动词、短语搭配的讲解。所提供的例句，经典、地道、实用、易懂，完全可以直接用于教学。

Procedures

1．Warming up ⑴ Warming up by reading for forms On page 1 there are three short texts. Now read the texts to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions. Useful expressions make its web, try again and again, fix its thread, teach sb. be inspired to do, gain independence for, struggle in a world of silence, communicate with sb., live as a slave, return to one’s homeland, recover one’s lost land, sleep on firewood, remind sb. of sth., at bedtime, strengthen one’s determination

⑵Warming up by brain storming encouraging proverbs Good morning, class. Today is your first day of this term. And I believe you will have lots of work to do. Just as the saying goes Nothing ventures, nothing gained, you have to work still harder so that you might gain success in your studies. What other encouraging sayings do you know?

Sayings which encourage you

1.All things in their being are good for something.天生我才必有用。

2.Difficult circumstances serve as a textbook of life for people.困难坎坷是人们的生活教科书。

3..Failure is the mother of success. -- Thomas Paine失败乃成功之母。

3. For man is man and master of his fate.人就是人，是自己命运的主人。

4. The unexamined life is not worth living. -- Socrates混混噩噩的生活不值得过。--苏格拉底

5. Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. -- John Ruskin生活没有目标，犹如航海没有罗盘。--罗斯金

6. What makes life dreary is the want of motive. -- George Eliot没有了目的，生活便郁闷无光。--乔治·埃略特

7. Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. -- Lincoln卓越的天才不屑走旁人走过的路。他寻找迄今未开拓的地区。

10. An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding. -- Robert Louis Stevenson生活的目标，是唯一值得寻找的财富。--史蒂文森 ⑶Warming up by discussing Oxymoron (矛盾修辞) Today we shall read an article entitled A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE. What do you think of this title? Is there anything unusual about it? Yes, Oxymoron is used in the title. But what is Oxymoron? Oxymoron (or oxymora) are literary figures of speech usually composed of a pair

of neighbouring contradictory words (often within a sentence). However this is not always the case. The Webster Dictionary defines oxymoron as "a combination of contradictory or incongruous words". Oxymorons can be used for dramatic effect, for example: Hell's Angels and deafening silence. They can also be comical, such as in civil engineer. Clearly this is not an oxymoron in the true and strict sense, but the suggestion that it is oxymoronic is humorous. Examples of Oxymoron "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" John Donne, Devotions on Emergent Occasions "It was the best of times, It was the worst of times." Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities "You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap." Dolly Parton "I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught." Winston Churchill "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." Mark Twain "I am a deeply superficial person." Andy Warhol "The only new thing in this world, is the history you did not know." Harry Truman "A joke is a very serious thing." Winston Churchill "The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep." W.C. Fields "To lead the people, walk behind them." Lao-Tzu "I'm so tired, I can't sleep." Kurt Cobain "Pennyroyal Tea" 2. Pre-reading by getting to know facts and defining Before we read the text, let’s first get to know some facts about Australia.

●Facts of Antarctica: Antarctica, the fifth largest continent, c.5,500,000 sq mi (14,245,000 sq km), asymmetrically centered on the South Pole and almost entirely within the Antarctic Circle. ●Define expedition: In tourism, a journey with few amenities, usually to a remote area, sometimes for a scientific purpose. 3. Reading

On page 2 there is an article entitled "A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE " You are going to read it to the recording. Now read the text again to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions. 4. Copying the expressions from the text join an expedition with sb., consider…a great honour, put one’s head out of…, appear grey, cross the continent of Antarctica, block out, feel breathless, return alive, a blast of, tear through, yell in a hoarse voice, hardly recognize as my own, hold on, struggle out of, dreamed of adventure, want for a dangerous journey, hide aboard the ship, in a small cupboard, suffer from seasickness, make sb. a steward, stick in pack ice, floating pieces of ice, waste time on…, make an urgent announcement, save supplies, show one’s determination, describe… as…, keep sb cheerful, win one’s complete faith in sb., give way to disappointment, keep busy, contribute to…, save one’s lives. settle on Elephant Island, remain optimistic, recover one’s health, return to rescue sb.
