Module 6 Unit 3 Understanding each other Reading----Cultural differences Teaching objectives:

By the end of this period, the teacher helps the students to: improve their reading skills; learn some basic knowledge about the cultural differences and customs; understand the use of examples.

Teaching procedures: Step 1 Lead-in ---- a guessing game

Get several students to have a role play and other students to guess where these students come from according to their different ways of greeting each other. 【设计思路】

以游戏导入新课，激发学生的学习兴趣，一开始就吸引学生的眼球。在这一环节，教师让几个学生提前做好准备表演出世界上几个国家和地区的不同的问候方式，然后让其他学生竞猜，说出这几位学生表演的角色分别是来自于什么地方或国家。这样，自然地导入本节课的阅读主题——文化差异。

Step 2 Fast reading

Get the students to read the passage quickly and finish the following two tasks. Activity 1 Let’s answer the following questions. 1. Which country is Waled from?

2. Where does Peter come from? 3. What does Ma Li think about learning about cultural differences? 4. What does Ma Li think about learning about cultural differences? □color of clothing

□hair styles

□weddings

□presents □Thanksgiving

□table manners

□greetings

□pointing □cultural differences in USA and UK

【设计思路】学生快速阅读文章，先回答三个简单问题，然后选出文章中所提到的话题有哪些。这一活动的设置有利于训练学生的“跳读”技能。

Step 3 Careful reading

Get the students to read the passage carefully and finish the following two activities. Activity 2 Let’s read the passage carefully and decide whether the sentences in Part C1 are true or false. Activity 3 Let’s read the passage carefully again and then complete the mind map. 【设计思路】学生仔细阅读课文，先完成课本中Part C 1的判断题练习，通过此题了解文章的一些细节信息。然后，学生根据课文内容完成一个“思维导图”。“思维导图”中的题目是基于全国高考新题型“完形填空II”设置的，既有利于学生对文章结构和内容的整体把握，又增加了对高考新题型的训练。

Step 4 Expansion

Get the students to think of other customs that are different in different parts of the world. 1

【设计思路】课堂延伸。课文中只提到了礼物、婚礼、肢体语言、节日等方面的文化差异，因此教师设计了这一环节让学生想一想、说一说他们所了解到的世界各地的其他文化差异和习俗，这样有利于开拓学生视野、扩大知识面。

Step 5 Discussion

Activity 4 Let’s have fun. Show the students the following joke and get them to enjoy it and then act it out. A gentleman: “Today you look very beautiful! ”

A lady: “Where! Where!”

The gentleman: “ …… Everywhere! ”

【设计思路】完成前几个环节的多个任务后，欣赏一则因文化差异而产生的笑话。这样既可以让学生得到放松又可以自然导入下一活动。

Activity 5 What are the benefits of learning different cultures? Get the students to discuss the benefits of learning different cultures in groups. 【设计思路】分组讨论“了解不同文化的好处”。在讨论过程中学生就会明白学习和了解文化差异的重要性，从而实现了这一堂课的德育目标。

Activity 6 Let’s watch a video. Get the students to watch a short video and then discuss what they should do when facing the cultural differences. 【设计思路】观看一段有关美国的一些习俗的短视频，了解英美文化。然后让学生思考和讨论当面对各种文化差异时应当有什么的正确态度。

Step 6 Homework

1. Suppose you are Ma Li, Peter and Waled are interested in Chinese culture. Please write a short passage about Chinese traditional festivals.

2. Review the text and underline some difficult and important phrases or sentences. 【设计思路】用这堂课所学的知识和技能完成写作任务，让学生向外国友人介绍中国的传统节日，宣传中国的传统文化，将课堂延伸到课外。
