Step 2: Scanning and fast reading Ask students to go through the passage as quickly as possible and try to answer the following 2 questions:

(1) What type is this passage?

A speech. (2) What is the structure of the passage? (Ask students to fill in the blanks) Part 1 (para. 1):

the topic of the speech Part 2 (para. 2-4):

the history and significance of the Olympic Games Part 3 (para. 5-8):

some famous athletes and the great achievements

Part 4 (para. 9-10):

the end of the speech

(Help students have a better understanding of the writing style and the structure of the text) Step 3: Careful reading Para 2-3:

Ask students to read Paragraph 2 and 3 for detailed information about the history of the ancient and contemporary Olympics and try to find the similarities and differences of the two.

Ancient Contemporary Similarities Every four years Some sports remain differences Olympia in Greece different places

men wearing no clothes both men and women

wearing sports uniforms

Para 4:

(1) Ask students to read Para.4 carefully and then answer the question, “Who played a very important part in the history of the Olympic Games?”

(Pierre de Coubertin)

(2) Second, show them more information about Pierre de Coubertin. 1) Frenchman

2) He brought the Olympics back to life

3) help people live side by side in peace

4) the father of modern Olympic Games (3) Who else played a very important part? ---Athletes Para 5-8: Have students read Para.5-8 after the tape, and then ask them to fill in the blanks without referring to the textbook. This exercise helps them get more information about famous athletes and their great achievements. 1) Ali: won the gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics

won the 1st World Heavyweight boxing Championship in 1964

lit the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony in Atlanta in 1996 2) Jordan: won two gold medals …worked as a member of the so-called Dream Team 3) Xu Haifeng: Major achievement: won the first gold medal for China

match

Step 4: Further thinking

(1) After the analysis of the whole text, let students go over the text again. And then ask them to hold a discussion about the question, “What fine qualities do they have in common?”

After the discussion, invite some students to share their opinions with their classmates, and then list some words for them.

(2) Show them some pictures about the improper behavior in the Olympics All the athletes’ achievements are based on their hard work. But, unfortunately, we may find that there do exist some improper behavior at sports games. Ask students to hold a group discussion: “Is there anything that overweighs victory?”

Step 7: Conclusion (Share some profound sentences with students) (1) In any competition there are losers as well as winners. What matters most is having fun, learning new skills and becoming a good sportsman. (2) The most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.

The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

——Pierre de Coubertin

生活中最重要的事情不是胜利，而是奋斗；不是征服，而是努力拼搏。

Step 6: Homework

Write down the short passage about “Is there anything that overweighs victory?”

and then try to polish them.

六、教学设计总结：

英语教学应当选取与学生生活密切相关的材料，激发学生的学习和阅读兴趣，在阅读已有材料的基础上，引导学生用英语描述自己的经历或阐明自己的观点。本篇课文话题为奥运会，与学生联系较为密切，他们对此有较大兴趣，通过视频图片等视觉刺激，激发学生积极参与活动的热情。课堂开头“砸彩蛋”的活动激活课堂气氛，再通过对课文多样的处理，达到深入理解课文的目的。课堂后半部分通过对奥运精神的深入讨论，得以从文化和情感角度对语言学习进行渗透。
