Unit 1 Living well单元教案设计
Period 1 Warming Up,Pre-reading and Reading
教材分析
Warming Up is made up of two parts:discussing and talking.The purpose is to get students interested in the topic “disabilities”.The teacher first asks students to talk about people with a mental or physical disability to see how much they know about disabilities.Next,ask students to look at the pictures and read what these people have achieved even though they each have a disability.Finally,find out what disability they might have according to each description below the picture.Meanwhile,make sure students learn some useful new words and expressions in this unit.
Pre-reading provides a short passage about a website called “Family Village”.Ask students to read it and find out the purpose of the website.Make sure the students have a basic knowledge of the website for the disabled.
The reading passage Marty's Story presents a story that although Marty is a disabled boy,he never feels sorry for himself and he leads a good and busy life.This is the key part of this unit.The teacher can first get students to skim for the main idea of each paragraph in the reading passage,and then scan for further understanding.In order to let students fully understand the passage while reading,the teacher should analyze the change of Marty's feeling over time and next guide students to write a mini biography for Marty.
To consolidate the contents of the reading passage,the teacher will present some poems to students for appreciation.

Facing Obstacles (Two poems by Tom Krause)
The Heart of the Strong
Strong is the heart that knows not the way
of comfort and ease while living each day.
Yet continues to believe from the depths of its soul
that the future is destined to silver and gold.
Strong is the heart whose yearning is waned
by storms in life filled with heartache and pain.[来源:学科网]
Yet still gives its all—everything that it can
in search of a dream—God's ultimate plan.
When there is a victory—when battles are won
when burdens are lifted and bright shines the sun—
when struggling souls gather—where heroes belong—
they find in themselves—the heart of the strong.
Carry On
At times when you feel troubled
when your happiness is gone
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.
In your heart you will find special virtues
such as faith and hope and love.
These gifts have been sent down to you
from a power up above.
It is faith that keeps the soul searching
for the joy the heart hopes for.
It is love that heals the spirit
making it stronger than before.
And if your heart be broken
if your strength should fade away
the power of these virtues
will still win out the day.
So remember when you are troubled
when your happiness is gone
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.

Part 1 (Paragraph 1):The purpose of the letter
Part 2 (Paragraphs 2-6):Some suggestions to the architect
Part 3 (Paragraph 7):The advantages of designing the cinema with good access for disabled people
2.Scanning
(1) List the suggestions the writer put forward.
①There should be adequate access for wheelchairs.
②It would help to fit sets of earphones to all seats,not just to some of them.
③The seats at the back should be placed higher than those at the front.
④For disabled customers,it would be more convenient to place the toilets near the entrance to the cinema.
⑤There are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and elderly drivers.
(2) Why do you think the writer numbered her suggestions and used italics?
(The writer has used numbers and a title in italics for each paragraph to organize the ideas and to make it easier for the reader to understand and remember the five suggestions.)[来源:学,科,网]
(3)Besides using numbers and italics,what other ways can we use to make the things you say clear?
(We can use first,second,third...finally/at last/last but not least.)
(4)Why should the architect consider the writer's suggestions?
(Disabled people should have the same opportunities as healthy people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with dignity.Good access for disabled customers will help make the cinema successful.)
(5)The writer uses polite forms in the letter;do you know why?
(Polite forms are used to encourage the reader to take the ideas seriously.)
(6)Underline the examples of the polite forms in the letter.
[设计说明] 该部分是整个教学环节的重点,通过略读,快速理清文章脉络,掌握建议信的基本格式。通过查读把握文章细节,在学生回答相应问题时引入have access to,enjoy the company of,in comfort,meet with one's approval,make profits 这些词组,同时通过查找文中的礼貌用语,使学生关注建议信语言上的得体和语气上的委婉。
Step 3 Post-reading
Group work
Suppose a new supermarket will be built in your area.Suggest ways to make the supermarket more accessible for the disabled people,especially for the people in wheelchairs.
[设计说明]
运用文中所学知识,通过小组合作讨论的形式,打开学生的思路,集思广益,为接下来的写作打下基础。
Step 4 Homework
The architect of the new supermarket is Mr Smith.Please write a letter to him to suggest ways to make the supermarket accessible for the people in wheelchairs.Remember to use the polite forms.
A sample letter:
Dear Mr Smith,
I am writing to suggest that you consider the following things when you design the supermarket.
First,could you please make sure that the aisles are wide enough to allow wheelchairs to pass through?In some supermarkets the aisles are so narrow that a person in a wheelchair can not move easily.
Second,could you please design shelves that can be reached by people in wheelchairs?In some supermarkets people in wheelchairs have to ask others to help them.
Last but not least,lifts should be in places that people in wheelchairs can get to easily.
I hope you will consider my suggestions.
Yours,
Ling Ming
[设计说明]学生在课堂讨论之后进行写作,大大降低了写作的难度。同时学生通过仿写一封建议信,及时地复习了本节课所学内容,从而真正做到学以致用,提高学生对英语学习的兴趣。
Period 5 Listening
教学目标
1.语言知识目标
了解盲文的创始人路易斯·布莱尔的个人经历和导盲犬的工作内容。
2.语言能力目标
培养学生在听前对听力材料进行预测,并激活背景知识的能力;把握细节信息的能力。
3.情感态度与文化意识目标
通过对盲文创始人路易斯·布莱尔个人经历和导盲犬工作情况的了解,使学生对于盲人的生活状况有更深切的了解,更能激发他们伸出手,帮助盲人和其他的残疾人。
重点难点
1.教学重点:培养学生在第一遍听完后,掌握听力材料大意的能力。
2.教学难点:在听力材料开始前,如何激发学生的背景知识;在学生背景知识缺乏的情况下,如何进行听力指导。
课前准备
1.学生的学习准备
布置学生在课前上网查找关于盲文及创始人的情况,了解一些导盲犬工作的情况。
2.教师的教学准备
查找相关信息,有条件的话,借一本盲文书给学生看看,让学生对盲人的生活有更加深入的了解。
3.教学用具
录音机
Step 1 Pre-listening
Before the students listen,ask them to discuss the following questions:
1.Do you know what Braille is?
2.What is it used for?
3.How does it work?
4.Do you know what the Chinese system of Braille looks like?(See Page 53 for some hints.)
Suggested answers:
Braille is a system by which blind people can read by feeling raised dots on a page.Both
English and Chinese system of Braille use six dots.Their forms are similar,but their meanings are different.That's to say,Chinese blind people can't understand the English system of Braille.
[设计说明]在听力训练正式开始前,在班级里组织讨论,激活学生的背景知识,有利于随后进行的关于盲文创始人路易斯·布莱尔的生平介绍的听力训练顺利展开。如果学生的背景知识比较贫乏,教师可以对盲文作一个简单的介绍。
Step 2 Listening task
1.Paul's teacher has asked everyone in the class to prepare a talk about a great inventor.Listen to Paul's talk about Louis Braille.Then answer the following questions:
(1)What country did Louis Braille come from?
(2)What disability did he have?
(3)What did books for the blind look like when Louis was a boy?
(4)What were the two problems with the books for the blind?
(5)What invention gave Louis the idea for his system?
(6)What advantages do you think Louis's system has?
Suggested answers:
(1)He came from France.
(2)He was completely blind.
(3)They were ordinary books with letters raised up off the page.
(4)The letters were huge and difficult to read,and the books were very expensive.
(5)A system for soldiers to send and receive messages in the dark.
(6)I think Braille system has the advantage of being easy to learn,and so it is easy to produce books of normal size.It helps make blind people independent because they can read as much as sighted people do.
2.Before the students do Exercise 3 on Page 50,discuss the events in Louis Braille's life by asking questions as follows:
How did Louis become blind?
How old was he when he became blind?
What event in his life gave Louis his idea about inventing a reading system for the blind?
How old was he when this happened?
How old was he when he finally perfected the code?
How old was Louis when he died?
3.Listen again and ask the students to fill in the lines on the timeline.

[设计说明]第一个回答问题的环节中,第5个问题的难度较大,第6个问题需要学生自己组织语言,只需答出要点即可。在完成时间轴之前,先进行讨论,可以降低第三个环节的难度。同时引导学生注意,介绍人物可以以时间为线索。如果学生的口语表达能力比较强,还可以在听力训练完成后,请学生用英语简单介绍盲文的创始人路易斯·布莱尔的情况。[来源:学§科§网]

[设计说明]这个听力训练是围绕导盲犬进行的。听力练习的设计由掌握听力材料大意到细节信息的听取,再到个别词语的把握,体现了从整体到局部的原则,与阅读教学有共通之处。而且,由于练习设计得非常细致,可以作为精听的材料来使用。
Homework:Revise the whole unit,including the useful expressions and important drills.
