人教版高中英语必修五全套教案

Making Way

Once Goethe(歌德), the great German poet，was walking in a park. He was thinking about something when he noticed he came to a very, very narrow road. Just at that time, a young man came towards him from the other end of the road. It was too narrow for both of them to pass through at the same time. They stopped and looked at each other for a while. Then the young man said rudely，“I never make way for a fool.” But Goethe smiled and said, “I always do.” Then he turned back quickly and walked towards the end of the road.

Weather Report

Here s the weather report for the next 24 hours. Beijing will be fine with the temperature from 4 to 13. Tokyo will be fine too and cloudy later in the day. The lowest temperature is l to 8. London will be rainy and windy later in the day. The highest temperature is 8 and the lowest is 4. New York will be sunny and cloudy later in the day. The temperature is 13 to 19.

Heartbeating

Put your hand to the left side of your chest. Try to feel your heartbeating. The heart takes a little rest after each pump or beat. In boys or girls of your age, heart beats about 90 times a minute.

A grown-up s heart beats about 70 or 80 times a minute. But the heartbeat is different in the same person at different times. For example, the heart beats faster during exercise. It is also faster when a person is angry, scared, or excited. During sleep, the heartbeat slows down.

Sample answers:

S1: I think the first piece “Making A Way” is in a style of creative writing. The second piece belongs to a description style. The third piece belongs to a report style.

T: Very good. Now let s return to our text. Who can tell me the main idea of this passage?

S2: I can. Clearly it tells us how John Snow defeated the disease cholera by doing scientific research.

StepⅥ Language Points

StepⅧHomework

The Second Period Extensive Reading

Step I Revision

Ask the students to retell the text.

StepⅡ Pre-reading

Show the picture of the Solar System and remind them of the common knowledge of “Sun-Centered Theory”.

T: Today we are going to learn more about science and scientists. There are two pictures of the great scientist and the Solar System. You can discuss with your partners about them. Then tell me sth. about them.

(Mercury 水星 Venus 金星 Earth 地球

Mars 火星 Jupiter 木星 Saturn 土星

人教版高中英语必修五全套教案

Uranus 天王星 Neptune 海王星 Pluto 冥王星) Step Ⅲ Reading

Encourage the students to get the general ideas of the passages.

T: In the last period, we have learned about how Doctor John Snow used seven stages to prove his conclusion and fulfilled his research. This period we will also deal with a scientific report. Please read the passage quickly and try to answer the questions on the screen.

Show the questions on the screen.

1. What s Copernicus fear?

2. How did Copernicus prove his theory?

3. What is his theory?

Sample answers:

S1: I have the answer. Copernicus found his theory was against the Christian church s saying. If he spoke out his finding, he would be punished severely.

S2: Let me answer the third question. Copernicus had thought long and hard about these problems which astronomers had noticed and tried to find an answer. He used all his mathematical calculations to work on these problems. He had collected observations of the stars for over ten years. All his calculations and observations proved that his theory was right.

S3: Copernicus theory can be expressed in this way: The sun is the center of the universe. All planets went around the sun in solar system.

Step Ⅳ Further-reading

This time the students are encouraged to read the two passages carefully and then do the exercises and problems on pages 7.

T: Now class. Please read the passage again. And finish EX 1 and then discuss the questions on the screen in groups.

As a scientist, one should be brave. But Copernicus was afraid of being attacked by the Christian Church. So he had hidden his theory for so many years. What do you think of this?

Sample answers:

Q1: 1.I think Copernicus was very coward. He should speak out his discovery and let the world know the truth earlier.

2.I don t agree with you. He was more cautious than coward. If he had published his ideas, he would have been killed just as Bruno who was burnt to death because his theory was against the Christian Church s.

T: I quite agree with you. And I am glad you have known so much about the science.

StepⅤ Language Points

And then write the following sentences on the blackboard; ask the students to pay attention to the past participle. Guide them to find out their functions in the sentences.

Show the following on the screen.

1. Nicolas Copernicus was frightened and his mind was confused.

2. He placed a fixed sun at the center of the solar system ...

3. He joined these points together using curved lines ...

T: Please read the three sentences and tell me what parts of speech the past participles are acting as.

StepⅡ Listening and Speaking (Page 6)

Ask the students to listen to the recording and answer the questions.

T: Yu Ping and her friend Steve Smith are talking about Qian Xuesen, who has made great contributions to the development of China s space industry. Let s look at the screen and read the new words in the material after me: astronomer(天文学家)，astronaut(宇航员)，institute(研究所). Play the recording and then check the answers.

T: Now I have an additional question for you: Who is the first to visit the space in China? Ss: Yang Liwei!

T: Great! And what s the name of the satellite?

Ss: Shenzhou V manned spaceship of China!

T: What do you think Qian Xuesen would feel if he knew it?

Step Ⅴ Homework

The Fifth Period Writing

Step Ⅰ Presentation

Task 1: Summarize the way of writing a report.

T: Now class, if we want to write a report about a scientist, what contents should we include?

S1: The life of the scientist, such as his birth and death dates, his family, his education, his personality, his achievements and contributions, his key factors to his success.

T: Yes. You are right. And how do we make an outline about it?

S2: We should put the collected information under three headlines: life, achievements and key to success.

Task 2: Remind the students of the writing techniques and writing features of a report.

Task 3: Summarize the way of persuasive writing.

T: You know if we want to persuade sb, we always want to reason with him or her. We must develop our own ideas and provide some evidence to support our ideas so there are always three

steps to persuade somebody else to change his or her point of view. Can you point out what the three steps are?

S1: I think the first is to give your opinion and idea.

S2: The second is to give the reasons and evidence to support your idea.

S3: The third is to make a conclusion.

人教版高中英语必修五全套教案

Then ask the students to write a short letter as required in Exercise 3.

A sample version:

Dear Nicolaus Copernicus,

I am a student studying history and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons. I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you would expect if the earth was the centre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need new theory.

I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know you worry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter how people oppose it, time will show if your ideas are right or wrong.

So I hope you can publish your new theory.

Step Ⅱ Writing

Ask the students to write a report about a scientist.

Teaching procedures & ways

Step ⅠLead-in

Task 1: Free talk about the topic: The United Kingdom.

Reference topic:

1. Have you ever been to the UK? If you have, can you tell us something about it or can you tell us something about your visit(s) there? Or what is your impression of the UK? If you haven t, where can you get the information about it?

T: In this unit, we are going to learn something about the United Kingdom. Now let s work in pairs, do the quiz in the Warming Up and find out how much you know about the UK. There are five questions with three choices A, B and C for each one. Now please look them through quickly and choose the answers. You may discuss these questions with your partners.

Step II Pre-reading

T: Next let s talk about the three questions in the Pre-reading. First of all, I d like to ask you one more question before we deal with the Pre-reading questions. What s the official or full name of the UK?

人教版高中英语必修五全套教案

S: The United Kingdom of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

T: Now who d like to answer the first question in the Pre-reading?

S: Well. London is the capital city of the UK and also the capital of England. Cardiff is the capital of Wales, Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and Belfast, the capital city of Northern Ireland. I d like to tell you something about Glasgow, a city in Scotland, where my cousin has been studying in the University of Glasgow for 3 years. He often writes to tell me something about the city and the University. Glasgow is a city with a population of 620,000. It lies 68 miles of west central Scotland along both banks of the River Clyde. The city occupies much of the lower Clyde valley combining suburbs — with an overall population of 1.4 million — which extend into surrounding districts. Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and its industrial centre; it has an excellent harbour with modern port facilities.

T: Very good. Now the next question is a little bit more challenging. Who d like to have a try?

S: England can be divided into the following three main areas: North England, Midlands and South England.

T: Great! Is there anyone else who d like to have a try?

S: Yes. I d like to tell you something about a city in the south of England. Can you guess which city it is? Yes, It is Dover, where many people have been trying again and again to swim across the English Channel. It is a port city in the far southeast of England. It has a long history. People have lived in what is now called Dover since the Stone Age. The first settlements in Dover were made around 6,000 years ago by Stone Age people. So it is one of the oldest cities in the world. There are a lot of cultural relics in Dover. So few other towns or cities can boast such a unique collection of relics and monuments dating back from the Bronze Age, the Roman Empire, the Saxon era, and in fact every other important historic periods. While modern developments have seen many of Dover s important historical buildings swept away, there are still many important sites that must be preserved for future generations. The story of Dover is as old as civilization itself.

Step III While-reading

Task 1: Ask the students to describe briefly the UK according to the following map.

A sample description:

We can see from the map that the UK is surrounded by water in all sides. On the west of the Great Britain lies the Irish Sea, which is on the east of Ireland. On the south of England lies the English Channel, through which the Allies landed the continent during the World War II. On the northeast, lies the North Sea. And on the north is the North Atlantic Ocean.

Task 2: Ask the students to talk about the different flags of the countries of the UK.

Cross of St George (England) Cross of St Patrick (Ireland) Union Jack

A sample description:

The flag of England is a cross, the flag of Scotland and Ireland are both like a fork. The flag of the Union Jack is the flag of the UK, which is the combination of the three flags. That is to say, the UK is a combination of the three countries: Scotland, England and Ireland.

Task 3: Scanning

1. Look through the passage as fast as possible;

2. Try to find the answers to the questions given in the Comprehending.

Sample answers:

S1: Wales, for we can t find any pattern of flag of Wales and it is usually assumed to be part of England.

S2: It represents England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

S3: The Vikings. They only influenced the vocabulary and the place names of the North.

人教版高中英语必修五全套教案

Task 4: Skimming

T: Please skim the passage to get the general idea of the whole passage. While reading, please try to divide the whole passage into proper parts and find out the main idea of each part (helping the students fulfill the task if necessary).

Part 2 (Paras. 3-4): The geographic division of England into zones, their similarities and differences.

Part 3 (Para. 5-6) : The cultural importance of London.

T: Then how do you understand the title of the text Puzzles in Geography? Are there really any puzzles in geography of the UK? If so, what are they? If not, why does the writer use “Puzzles in Geography” as the title? Get the students to discuss about it in pairs.

Then ask the students to fill in the following form.

T: Now let s do “Comprehending” Exercise 3. Look at the map of England and Wales. Divide it into three parts. Draw lines across the zones of the South, Midlands and the North of England. Put
