Using LanguageⅡppt课件教学实录

Unit 4 Exploring plants 第一部分

《金色教案》教学设计说明

About the topic 本单元的话题是“植物探索”，介绍人类对植物世界的探索历程。将生and the 物分为植物和动物两界时，植物界包括藻类、菌类、地衣、苔藓、蕨类和种子植物。

植物界和其他生物类群的主要区别是含有叶绿素，能进行光合作用，自己可以制造有机物。

本单元还将学习“直接宾语和间接宾语”。

《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

部分教师可以选择我们提供的“给植物下定义”、“谈论不同的园林”和“讨论园艺”热身形式激发背景知识、为其后的阅读作好词语、结构和心理的准备。

教师可补充： Pre-reading向学生介绍有关“garden”的常识，为其后的阅读做心理的铺垫和准备。园艺一词，原指在围篱保护的园林内进行的植物栽培。现代园艺虽早已打破了这种局限，但仍是比其他作物种植更为集约的栽培经营方式。园艺业是农业中种植业的组成部分。园艺生产对于丰富人类营养和美化、改造人类生存环境有重要意义。

Reading是篇说明文，说明人类早期的植物探索。教师应引导学生依据我们提供的“信息转化工具”，如“结构图”、“表格”等，从形式和内容两方面引导学生阅读课文、理解词语、理解结构。

Period 2 Learning about language

Learning about language 首先引导学生仿structures 单元话题和结构

Learning about 写学过的课文，然后学习本单元句法项目：带双宾语的动词，最后是若language 干练习。

知识课

Period 3 Using language 运用课

Using language首先引导看图说话，了解若干奇特植物，然后阅读一则有关花和花粉受精的短文，然后是仿写活动。可以参考我们提供的范例，引导学生以学到的词汇、短语、结构和话题进行仿写。

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“植物探索”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。

Part 1 Teaching Design 第一部分

教学设计

Period 1 A sample lesson plan for reading (PLANT EXPLORATION IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES) Introduction

In this period, after warming up, students will first be introduced to gardening. Then they will be helped to read an exposition about plants exploration. While reading the form of the language is stressed. Three “Warming Up” designs are presented in this book for teachers’ reference. Computer and overhead projector may be used to aid the teaching and learning.

Objectives ■

To help students learn to express emotions (wonder, disgust) ■

To help students learn to read an exposition about plants exploration ■

To help students better understand “plants”

■

To help students learn to use some important words and expressions ■

To help students identify examples of the direct object and indirect object in the text Focus Words Pollinate, anchor, seal, shave, appear, lower, postpone, rot, evolve, attach, Expressions Patterns Date back to, appear to, give out In 1833, Ward shipped

two cases of British plants to

Sydney, Australia.

Collecting “exotic” plants，as they are called，dates back to

the earliest times．

However，it was

not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

3

that

the exploration of the botanical world began on a large scale． Large numbers of seeds failed to grow

after long sea voyages or trips across land between Asia and Europe. Ward shipped two cases of British plants to Sydney，Australia． He made several trips to China between 1843 and 1859. Not only did

Fortune introduce over 120 species of plants to Western gardens but he also shipped 20,000 tea plants from Shanghai to India，where a successful tea industry was established．

Aids Multimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagrams Procedures 1Warming up ⑴Warming up by defining plants We see plants every day. But what are they? Plants are a major group of living things (about 300,000 species), including familiar organisms such as trees, flowers, herbs, and ferns. Aristotle divided all living things between plants, which generally do not move or have sensory organs, and animals. ⑵Warming up by talking about different gardens Gardens vary in forms and functions. How many can you see in your area? Gardens may function in a particular manner Botanical garden, Community garden, Forest garden, Raised bed gardening, Residential garden, Roof garden, Vertical garden, Water or soil-less gardening (hydroponics) , Walled garden, Windowbox, Zoological garden ⑶Warming up by discussing plant exploration Plant Exploration is the search for new, undiscovered plants. The principal objective of most plant exploration expeditions is to provide germplasm resources for existing breeding programs, biotechnology, and conservation. Insight must also be used to identify new species or those that have not been evaluated on this

continent.

2. Pre-reading by getting to know what a garden is A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature. The garden can incorporate both natural and man-made materials. The most common form is known as a residential garden.

Western gardens are almost universally based around plants. Zoos, which display wild animals in simulated natural habitats, were formerly called zoölogical gardens. Some traditional types of eastern gardens, such as Zen gardens, use plants sparsely or not at all. Gardening is the activity of growing and maintaining the garden. This work is done by an amateur or professional gardener. A gardener might also work in a non-garden setting, such as a park, a roadside embankment, or other public space. 3. Reading for forms Read the text PLANT EXPLORATION IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES 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 You are asked to copy all the useful expressions into your notebook after class as homework. You may make your own sentences with each of these expressions. Expressions from: PLANT EXPLORATION IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES date back to the earliest times, bring back…from distant lands, gather plants，it was not until…that…, on a large scale, take the opportunity of…, go on botanical expeditions, face many dangers, set one selves up in…, vast quantities of…, keep… alive, be transported on long journeys, make a return trip, make trips to…, shave one’s head in the Chinese style, experience many adventures, pirates on the Yangtze River, value the study of the natural sciences, result in, appeal to sb. 5.
