Lesson Plan for Unit 4 Wildlife Protection - Learning about language Teaching ideology:

New Curriculum for English advocates quality-oriented education and all round learning.As for Warming-up and pre-reading, it is an interactive process which involves not only the perceptions of graphic symbols but also the memory traces of the reader’s past verbal and nonverbal experiences. So in this period, T should follow the Ss-centered principle and act as the role of a guide, a helper and a facilitator of Ss. The analysis of teaching material:

The reading material is taken from NSEFC Module 2 Unit 4. This unit focuses on all kinds of passive voice and its present continuous uses. In this period students will be acting out the text first. After that they may be asked to do the word and structure exercises on pages from 28 and 29. The analysis of learning condition:

The Ss are from Grade 1 in Fuling Senior School. However, they have some troubles in English comprehension and Ss may not be so familiar with wildlife protection, so T should well present the backgroud information to lessen Ss’ comprehending difficulty.

Besides, Ss from Grade 1 like to air their opinions, so discussion in groups is supposed to be carried out effectively.

5. Studying the passive voice, focusing on the present perfect passive voice Passive Voice

The passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an action.

The Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Participle

It is often used in business and in other areas where the object of the action is more important than those who perform the action. For Example: We have produced over 20 different models in the past two years. Changes to: Over 20 different models have been produced in the past two years.

If the agent (the performer of the action) is important, use “by”

For Example: Tim Wilson wrote “The Flight to Brunnswick”

in 1987. Changes to: “The Flight to Brunnswick”

was written in 1987 by Tim Wilson.

Only verbs that take an object can be used in the passive.

The following chart includes sentences changed from the active to the passive in the principal tenses.

Active
