Grammar: the –ing form as the subject and the object I. 学情分析

高一九班为高一级较好班级，80%的学生学习主动性较强，能积极参加课堂活动，但对语法学习感觉较枯燥，实际运用也存在问题。

本单元的语法部分引导学生发现课文中的动名词用作主语或宾语的句子，并设计了相关的句型转换练习、探究讨论应用动名词或不定式形式作宾语的动词、填空练习等。

Ability aim: enable students to master the usage of the words and use of v-ing form correctly and freely. 3. Emotional aim: let students take part in the activity and have a good atmosphere. IV. Teaching procedures Step 1 Revision Look at the picture of Yuan Long ping and give students some questions about the text. (Encourage students to learn from Dr Yuan and understand the function of the –ing form.)

1. What does he look like? 2. What does he work to do his research? 3. Why did Dr. Yuan want to increase the rice output when he was young? Step 2 Discovering useful structures Ask students to check your answers in groups and report the results on the blackboard. Step 3 Learning the usage of the –ing form as either the subject or object Give students some explanations if necessary after two students made comments on their performances.

Step 5 Discussing and further understanding Ask students to discuss in groups and find out some verbs that can be

followed by –ing form as object. And then report your ideas on blackboard. At last, ask one student to comment and choose the best three groups and students. Step 6 Summary • Some verbs that are followed by –ing as object: advise, finish, practice, suggest, avoid, enjoy, imagine, admit, miss, escape, risk, excuse, stand, keep, mind….
