1、Period 3Listening and Speaking The General Idea of This Period This is the third period of this unit. At the beginning of this period, the teacher should (can) design some exercises to review what the students learned in the last period, that is to say, go over what the students learned about that J
2、ohn Snow defeats“ King Cholera ” . The teacher can begin with asking some questions or having a competition to make some sentences with “ John Snow” according to the passage. During this period, listening and speaking will be mainly dealt with. At the beginning, teachers focus on training the Ss lis
3、tening. This listening content is about the importance of Qian Xuesen for space travel in China, the contributions made by a botanist named Carl Linnaeus and the research into the life and work of a mathematician called Leonhard Euler. When training the Ss listening ability, teachers should start wi
4、th pre-listening, that is, lead-in. If it is necessary, teachers had better introduce some background knowledge about the listening material. Later, let the Ss listen to it. At the same time, teachers should design some simple questions. After that, the Ss have known about the listening material, an
5、d then teachers can ask them to listen to it again to be ready for more difficult questions. If necessary, the Ss can be given another time to listen. While practicing, teachers had better offer students some advice on how to do it well. Especially, train the students to predict what to be talked ab
6、out according to the hints and limited information and let them form the good listening habit of listening with the purpose of finding useful information and to summarize. Certainly, suppose there are many new words and expressions, teachers should help them to deal with them at the first place. All
7、 the listening practice should focus on developing the students listening skill. After practicing listening, the Ss are expected to learn some expressions about talking about scientific job as well as scientists achievements and recount stories. Besides those, the students are expected to learn the
8、skill of describing a person. During the course, teachers should rank class activities from the easy to the difficult. First, ask them to learn the expressions. Then, ask them to imitate it to have a dialogue. Finally, the students are expected to create a dialogue or discuss the given topic. In ord
9、er to draw students attention, the teacher had better prepare for some interesting situations. This period centers on emphasis on speaking and listening. The teacher should try his or her best to encourage the students to say something. Don t always correct the mistakes that the students would make
10、while speaking. Otherwise, the students would feel reluctant to speak out their opinions. Teaching Important Points Train the students speaking ability by describing, talking and discussing. Help the students improve their listening ability. Teaching Difficulties Train the students listening ability
11、. Especially listen and understand what the speakers mean beyond words. Teaching Aids a tape recorder, a projector and the blackboard Three Dimensional Teaching Aims Knowledge aims: Let the Ss know about some scientists and their life and contributions. Get the Ss to learn how to talk about scientif
12、ic work and how to describe a person. Ability Aims: Train the students speaking ability by describing, talking and discussing. Train the students listening ability. Emotional Aims: Train the students ability to cooperate with others. Encourage the students to learn from scientists to show interest i
13、n scientific exploration and research. Teaching Procedure Step 1 Greeting T: Hello, boys and girls. Ss: Hello, Miss Wang. Step 2 Revision T: Today we will begin our lesson with a competition between groups. In the last period, we learnt about John Snow who defeats“ King Cholera ” . Now, please say s
14、omething that you know about it. If you offer a complete sentence, you will be given ten marks. Your group will be given twenty marks when your expression is especially beautiful. S: John Snow was a well-known doctor in London, who attended Queen Victoria to ease the birth of her babies. S: He becam
15、e inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera, which was the deadly disease of his day. S: John Snow got interested in two theories explaining how cholera killed people. S: He believed in the second theory that is people absorbed this disease into their bodies with thei
16、r meals. From the stomach the disease attacked the body quickly and soon the affected person was dead. Ss: . . . (The teacher should encourage more students to join in the competition. At the end of the competition, the teacher should announce the result of this competition. Praise the winner and en
17、courage the losers. ) T: What can we learn from John Show? S: We should base our theories on practice. S: We are inspired to have a spirit of scientific exploration. S: We do some research with the purpose of serving the people and society. Ss: . . . T: Yes, we can learn a lot from the scientist. In
18、 fact, there are a great number of people working on science worthy of being learned both at home and abroad. Can you name some scientists and introduce their main contributions? S: Archimedes, who discovered that objects in water are lifted up by a force that helps them float. S: Darwin wrote a boo
19、k explaining how animals and plants developed as the environment changed. S: Madam Curie discovered radium. S: Stephen Hawking put forward a theory about black holes. S: Zhang heng invented the earliest instrument to tell people where earthquakes happened. Ss: . . . T: You did a good job and listed
20、many scientists as well as their contributions. Today, we are going to learn about more scientists. Step 3 Listening (on Pages 5-6) Task 1 Pre-listening T: First let s enjoy the picture. What can you see? S: President Jiang Zemin and an old man. T: President Jiang Zemin visited Qian Xuesen. T: What
21、have you already known about Qian Xuesen S: He is a Chinese scientist, whose research mainly centers on Physics. S: He has made great contributions to space travel in China. T: Good. You seem to have a good knowledge of him. Qian Xuesen is a famous scientist has contributed much to the country s cau
22、se of science and technology. Task 2 First Listening T: We are to listen to the material, which is about Qian Xuesen. Yu Ping is telling her friend Steve Smith about Qian Xuesen s life. If you were Yu Ping, what topics would you like to cover when introducing him? S: The date when he was born and he
23、 died;the place where he was born, lived, studied and died;his family;his experience;his achievements;his contributions T: Excellent. When we talk about and introduce a scientist, we usually describe these aspects. Now, listen carefully and tick out which topics are mentioned in the tape. (After lis
24、tening, let them check the answers. ) Task 3 Second Listening T: This time. You ll write down the answers to the five questions. Boys and girls, how can we write the answers fast and correctly? S: We should go through the questions first and keep them in mind. When we are listening, we just need to
25、pay much attention to the sentences related to the answers. S: We needn t write down each word of the answers. We just write down some key words. Later we can write down the complete answers with the help of these key words. T: You are clever. Now please get ready. First, look through the introducti
26、on to the listening material. Then, scan the questions. (Two minutes later, the teacher plays the tape. Then give Ss time to organize their sentences. ) T: Let s check the answers one by one. (If the students make some common mistakes or they seem to have difficulty in finding out answers, teachers
27、can give them some hints and let them listen to it again. After that, check the answers. If the students feel it difficult to make sense about the key words and understand the speakers intention and attitude, the teacher should give them some help. ) Task 4 Post-listening T: After listening, would y
28、ou please answer some questions? 1 What did you hear on the tape? 2 What can you learn from Qian Xuesen? (At this part the teacher may have the students present what they have heard on the tape and show their own opinion about what they have learned from him. If possible, the teacher may have some o
29、f the students do the presentation work in class. By doing this, the students can get full understanding of what the tape is talking about. ) Step 4 Listening (Page 41) Task 1 Pre-listening T: Just now we learned about a Chinese scientist, Qian Xuesen, who has made great contributions on space trave
30、l in China. We will get to know another scientist, whose contribution is on botany. Can you guess who he is? S: Carl Linnaeus, maybe Darwin. T: You are right. Both scientists did study botany and devoted their time to the research. As we know, Carl Linnaeus developed his system about how to classify
31、 species. While Darwin wrote a book on the Original of Species, in which he explained how animals and plants developed as the environment changed. The following is about Carl Linnaeus. T: Now, read the instructions about the listening and choose which of the following statements mist closely describ
32、es what this listening passage is about. Explain why the others are wrong. S: I think the third one is right. This is about a man who finds a flower and wants to know if it is a new species of flower. Because he is interested in biology and especially in the study of plants. What he wants to do is t
33、o study whether it is a new species. The other two statements can not convey the study. Task 2 Listening T: What you said is reasonable. Let s listen together to find whether your answer is right. (After listening, let them check the answers. ) T: Listen to the tape again and try to complete the fol
34、lowing passage. To find the name of an unknown flower, first you have to go to see a flower _he/she will look in a special_written by Carl Linnaeus. He lived in_ from_ to _. He was very important because he solved a serious problem for _. He saw all plants and animals produce _. Some animals produce
35、 _but others lay_while plants_. He used these different ways of producing young to put plants and animals into_. For example, the group called birds lay_to produce young and they all have _. Linnaeus put the plants and animals into smaller groups or species. He gave each one two names. One is for th
36、e large group, for example_and one is for the species, for example _. So a parrot would be _. He was the first person to successfully classify all plants and animals. Task 3 Post-listening Let the students fill in the blankets and then check. If the students feel it difficult to do it, let them list
37、en it a third time. After checking the answers, ask the students to read it together. Step 5 Listening (Page 44) T: Look at the screen and let s read the following new words firstly. (These words are presented on the screen: analyse, pure, foundation, symbol, sin, cosin, geometry, calculus, mechanic
38、s, practical, topology) T: Can you guess which field the next scientist is in according to the new words? S: The next must be a mathematician. T: Right. This mathematician is Leonhard Euler. John Smith is discussing with Zhao Yang his research into the life and work of a mathematician called Leonhar
39、d Euler. Listen to the tape and fill in the chart on the importance of Euler s work. Euler s achievementsExamples New symbols and terms Old areas of mathematics New area of mathematics Importance (After listening, ask some students to fill in it. If many students feel it difficult, let them listen t
40、o it again. While doing it, the teacher can also ask two students to come to write the answers on the blackboard. The teacher had better give them praise if they do it well. ) Step 6 Speaking Task 1 Lead-in T: Boys and girls, from the listening material, we know about some scientists. Do you have a
41、dream to be a scientist in the future? Ss: Yes. /No. T: Suppose you would like to work as a scientist, and you are discussing with your partner about your future job. What questions would you like to concern? S1: What job do you want to do? S2: How will you get the job? S3: What preparations will yo
42、u make for the future job? T: Right. Apart from those, we can also talk about the following questions: 1 What education will you need? 2 What personality will be needed? 3 What work experience would be useful? 4 How long will the training take? 5 How will you prepare for this career? T: These expres
43、sions may help you: I always wanted to. . . because. . . The experience I will need is. . . I might find it difficult to. . . I need to practise. . . My greatest problem will be to. . . I will need to be/become. . . patient, creative, hard-working, co-operative, confident, brave, positive, pleasant,
44、 polite, determined, energetic, strict with. . . Task 2 Dialogue (pair work) T: Now it is time to discuss what scientific job each of you would like to choose in the future with the help of the mentioned questions and expressions in pairs. I will give you five minutes to prepare for it. After that I
45、 will let some of pairs to come to act it out. Sample: A: What job do you want to do in the future? B: I always want to be a botanist. A: If you want to be a scientist, what education will you need? B: I will try my best to go to a key university to learn and study botany. A: What work experience wo
46、uld be useful? B: The experience I will need is to study wild plants in the wild when I am at school. Now, I join the social natural club organized by our school. Every time I make every effort to overcome difficulty to study plants in the wild. A: Do you know what personality will be needed if you
47、want to be a scientist in the future? B: I will need to be patient, creative, hard-working, brave, energetic and co-operative. A: Yes, I agree with you. Besides those personalities, we also should be determined, confident B: I will make efforts to own such good quality. A: How will you prepare for t
