I. General Introduction

This is the 2nd lesson of unit1 ，the revision of noun clauses，in Module 8，whose topic is about a land of diversity .In the past，especially in other modules ，Ss learned all kinds of clauses. Today in this period , we will go over grammar extensively--- noun clauses，which mainly cover 3 kinds ，namely subject clause，object clause，predicative clause .We try to summarize and recall some general rules about them. The target of this lesson is to encourage students to find and write some compound sentences with proper correct clauses.

II. Teaching Aims

1. Knowledge and ability

1. Students can review, understand and consolidate the overall usage of grammar item—Noun Clauses. 2. Students will be able to fulfill the above tasks in real situations.. 2. Process and Method 1 . Apply task-based learning and teaching methodology Ss can recall and grasp grammatical rules by finishing various tasks related to noun clauses 2 .Transform grammar teaching into communicative activities by famous sayings，lyrics etc.

3. Emotion Attitudes and Values

1. Arouse students’ lasting interest in grammar. 2. Cultivate their awareness of self-study, cooperative learning and exploration. III. Teaching Important Points 1.

How to guide students to review, understand and consolidate noun clauses as SC OC PC and AC 2.

How to rewrite the sentences by using noun clauses correctly. IV.Teaching Difficult Points 1. How to put noun clauses into their own composition writing correctly and properly . 2. How to develop the students’ communicative ability and maintain self-confidence. V. Teaching aids

Multimedia facilities, electronic whiteboard and learning plans VI. Teaching and learning methods

Task-based activities (individual work; pair work; group work)，Cooperative methods VII. Teaching procedures Step One：Warming up—Observing and Reviewing

1.

Ask Ss to read some sentences and examples （12 sentences）about noun clauses taken from their text books and classify them . 2.

Help each other to fill in the blanks by using w-words and explain why. Those exercises are adapted from authentic papers.

Aim: Make sure they can still remember long sentences with noun clauses in them. Help Ss restore their understanding of relative pronouns and adverbs in grammar.

T’ s expectation: Maybe they will have difficulty in when、where and how if they just focus on translation method .

Step Two：Discovering structures—summarizing general rules by studying several key relative pronouns and adverbs

1.

Present some exercises about relative word “that”mixed with “what”. First fill in the blanks and then work with a partner to summarize rules-in what circumstances do we use only that rather than what ？

2.

Work out together the following regulations- “that”

can’t be left out in SC、PC and AC if the content of the sentence is complete ；“that”can’t be ignored when used in real object stclause with it as formed object；the 1 that can be omitted if there are more than one object clauses . 3.

Figure out when to use whether in a group-work- only“whether”can be used in SC、PC and AC especially in OC of preposition；whether is applied in front of to do structure；

Aim: Give Ss chances to watch and sum up the grammar rules with deskmates and group members. They also learn to help each other in study. T’ s expectation: T predicts Ss can discover most of the cases. For some rare cases，T can just offer help.

Step Three：Practicing-participating in several activities to check up and consolidate the uses of those special words

This part will involve several activities, including compare similar sentences、rewrite

sentences by changing 2 simple sentences into 1 compounding sentence and complete the

famous saying by using proper words as well as translate them.

Activity 1

watch those pairs of similar sentences about clauses and find out why they use different relative words

Aim：Ss can recognize different clauses and choose correct relative words. T’ s expectation: Ss may get puzzled at some pairs. It’s acceptable to explain them in Chinese in this situation. Activity 2

join two simple sentences into one compounding sentence by using noun clauses Aim：Help them to put what they have learned in class into practice , especially into

composition. Hopefully Ss can polish their own writing consciously by adding or using noun clauses. T’ s expectation: Noun clauses can’t be applied in all sentences in writing unless it’s necessary. Ss may use them arbitrarily. Activity 3

fill the missing words into the sayings and proverbs or even lyrics and translate them. Aim: Make grammar learning interesting and easy to remember. T’ s expectation: some sayings are famous and familiar to them while others are not. And it will cost time to translate them since there may be more than one correct answer. Step Four：

Summary

To check Ss’understanding of noun clauses teacher hands out some printed exercises about noun clauses. Ask them to finish them and then find out with a peer why ss themselves make mistakes . Aim: to check if they can use grammar in written papers. Ss learn to evaluate their study and offer peer help. T’ s expectation: Ss won’t have any problem in papers. They can find and correct mistakes independently or cooperatively.

Step Five ：Assignment 1.

choose some simple sentences in their own composition and change them into

compounding

sentences with noun clauses if necessary. 2.

Surf the Internet and collect more （at least10 ）sayings with clauses in them and

analyse them and circle out relative pronouns and adverbs. Aim: consolidate what they have learnt and arouse their interest in grammar.

T’ s expectation: they will polish their own composition willingly and voluntarily collect more sayings to broaden their horizon.

Step Six ：Blackboard Design

Aim：Help have a distinct idea of revision of Noun Clauses and highlight the examing points. Remind Ss some key differences between relative pronouns and adverbs. The greenboard also acts as summary notes.
