一．The analysis of the teaching material This is the second teaching period of this unit. The teacher can first check students’ homework and offer chances for students to review what they learned during the first period. The emphasis of this period will be placed on the important new words, expressions and the predicative and predicative clause in the parts Warming Up, Pre-reading, Reading and Comprehending. In order to make students understand these important points thoroughly, we can first get students to master methods of inferring the meaning of an unfamiliar word, later offer some practice to make students master their usages. Some new words and expressionson are very useful and important. So are the predicative and predicative clause. We ought to pay more attention to them and design special exercises. At the end of the class, the teacher can make students eveluate themselves. In doing so, they can learn, grasp and use these important words and phrases and the predicative and predicative clause well. 二．The analysis of the students 猜词法及语法向来是学生头痛的一项内容，而猜词法及表语和表语从句在历来的高考试题中都有所体现，因此,掌握这一内容显得尤其重要。我所教的班级学生为普通生，英语的基础比较差，再加上语法复习基本以呈现理论为主再辅以练习，相对枯燥，学生兴趣不够，容易分散注意力，所以应溶入一些新的教学元素。这个年龄的学生争强好胜，喜欢新事物，于是我考虑借用大家感兴趣的话题通过竞争法、等促进学生的热情，增强学习的效果。

三．Teaching Aims ：

1.Knowedge aims: 1. Review useful words appearing in the reading text，such as citizens / migrants /nations backgrounds/ aboriginal / homelands/ respect /tolerance.

2.Learn two methods of inferring the meaning of an unfamiliar word including taking apart a compound word and paying attention to the word formation. 3.To remenber more related words in clusters and their discrimination. 4.To review and master the usage of the predicative . 5.To review and master the usage of the predicative clause. 2. Ability aims: 1)

Train students’ ability to use the useful words and expressions correctly.

2)

Train the students’ ability to use the knowledge of word formation to enlarge vocabulary and their ability to explain words’ meaning through the context.

3)

Train students’ ability to use the predicative freely and correctly.

4)

Train students’ ability to use the predicative clause freely and correctly.

3.Emotion aims: Through the study of this period, students are able to grasp two effective ways of memorizing new words---word formation and the ability to take apart a compound word..

And they can review an master the predicative and the predicative clause. The most important is that students gain confidence in dealing with words they may not be familiar with.

四．Teaching Important Points 1. Consolidate the words and expressions appearing in the reading text.

2. Get the students to grasp and apply the knowledge of word formation. 3. Get the students to grasp and apply the predicative and the predicative clause. Teaching Difficult Points How to grasp and apply the knowledge of word formation to enlarge vocabulary.

How to grasp and apply the knowledge of taking apart a unfarmiliar compound word. How to grasp and apply the predicative and the predicative clause. 五．Teaching Methods 1.

To master the pronunciation,spelling,part of speech of the key words in the reading . 2.To work out the definitions of the key words. 3.To remenber more related words in clustersand their discrimination. 4.To master the usage of the predicative . 5.To master the usage of the predicative clause. Step 2: Revision

Suggested answers:: The majority of Australians are (citizens / migrants)from many different (nations / backgrounds). In fact, the only( citizens)whose ancestors have lived here for more than 200 hundred years are (aboriginal)people. Most Australians believe that having people from

so many different (nations / backgrounds/ homelands)creates (respect)and (tolerance) and makes Australia a stronger(nation)and a more interesting place to live. 1．学生完成短文填空。

2. 师生共同核对答案。

设计目的：（本题是书上Learning about language第一题，考察学生对于阅读部分的词语掌握程度，训练学生的语言综合运用能力，让他们切身体会到澳大利亚的历史，从而得以情感升华。事实上，学生经过了阅读课文的学习，对不少单词的意思、运用都还很模糊，根据以往的经验，不少学生完成该部分时困难较多，而且总要不断翻看后面的词汇表。) Step 3: Word Study 1、Give the students a sentences and let them guess the meaning of the colored word. Then tell them a method that they should take apart the compound word and then give them some

celebrate: celebrated celebration 设计意图：改变书本所提供的学习词汇的方式，将Discovering useful words and expressions 练习3中需要扩展的词汇设计于两个推断词义的方法中，并在该词换颜色，学生根据句子意思及方法，推断词义。这样改变，可以让学生在语言运用中巩固所学的知识。增加词汇量，扩大知识面。

2.The same process to practice another method-----word formation and let them try to infer t he meanings of some unfamiliar words.

（设计意图：改变书本所提供的学习词汇的方式，将课后练习册P69第三题的词性转换应用到猜词义的第二个方法中，并在该词变颜色，学生根据老师提供的猜词义方法，猜测词义，并记住本单元重点词语的词性转换。这样设计的目的：一是降低课后练习题的难度，二是为了让学生领会根据词性猜测单词意思的重要性和有效性。这样改变，可以让学生在语言运用中巩固所学的知识。让学生通过全班分工、小组合作，实现资源共享，也使学生在合作学习的过程中，最大限度、比较全面地复习词语构成的方式。）

2.Read through this passage and underline all the predicative.

A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he was a good jumper, the zoo authorities increased the height of the fence around him, but, the next morning, the kangaroo was out of his enclosure again. So the keepers’solution was to build an even higher barrier. However, the next morning, the result was disappointing--- the kangaroo was not in his enclosure. The authorities, being desperate, increased the height of the fence again and again and it was soon over forty meters high. A camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, “How high do you think they’ll go?” The kangaroo said, “ That's a good question. It seems to me, they’ll

just keep going higher until somebody remembers to shut the gate at night!”

 What have you learned from the joke ? Suggested answer: we can’t solve problems from the surface, we should try to consider problems from all the aspects.  What can act as predicative?
