單元規(guī)則
本單元的中心話題是旅游(Travel),通過旅游日記的方式描述旅行見聞。具體涉及旅游所需的準備工作(包括精神與物質準備),以及選擇安排旅游時間、景點、路線、交通工具等。語言技能和語言知識等都是圍繞旅游(Travel)這一中心話題展開的。
為了圍繞中心話題開展聽、說、讀、寫活動,本單元安排了八個部分:“熱身(Warming Up)”“讀前(Pre-reading)”“閱讀(Reading)”“理解(Comprehending)”“語言學習(Learning about Language)”“語言運用(Using Language)”“小結(Summing Up)”和“學習建議(Learning Tip)”。
“熱身(Warming Up)”部分讓學討論乘公交車、乘火車、乘船和乘飛機四種不同交通方式的優(yōu)、缺點,并填入表格中。然后讓學生想象自己計劃選一個地方去度假,并就度假事宜編一段對話。與同學討論六個問題,使學生了解旅游的必要手段和必備的費用。目的是培養(yǎng)學生利用網絡等資源查閱信息的能力,教師可借此幫助學生掌握一些關于旅游方面的詞匯和相關知識,同時提出的六個問題都涉及現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來的用法,為本單元其余部分的學習作好了鋪墊。
“讀前(Pre-reading)”部分提出了兩個問題:沿河居住的人怎樣利用河流?世界上有許多大河,如果你只能沿著其中一條河旅游,你會選哪一條?它們不僅與單元主題有關,而且與下一部分的閱讀材料內容緊密聯(lián)系,從而導出了話題,并為閱讀作好準備。
“閱讀(Reading)”部分是JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG(湄公河旅行游記)的第一部分THE DREAM AND THE PLAN(夢想與計劃),王坤用第一人稱講述了他和王薇夢想沿湄公河騎自行車旅行,并為之作準備的過程。主要目的是通過閱讀培養(yǎng)學生略讀、跳讀、根據上下文猜測詞義等閱讀技巧,并使學生了解湄公河的地理風貌,豐富他們的地理知識。
“理解(Comprehending)”部分提供了五個練習。通過問答題的形式、用自己的話解釋句子。讓學生填寫表格列舉在課文中王薇和王坤對旅行的相同和不同態(tài)度并說明自己的看法、想象自己就是王坤和王薇并利用某一段落的信息編對話以及比較并解釋句子的意義,加深學生對課文內容、細節(jié)以及重點句子的進一步理解。淘_課件網 wWw.taoKEJIan.com
“語言學習(Learning about Language)”部分講述了主要詞匯及其運用和重點語法項目(用現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來)。詞匯部分設計了三個練習:練習1是利用閱讀文章中的單詞或短語填空完成句子;練習2是從所給的單詞或短語中選擇正確的完成句子;練習3是從所給的單詞中選擇合適的單詞完成段落。設計這些練習的目的是幫助學生復習掌握重要詞義和詞語,并能在具體的語境中正確使用。在這一環(huán)節(jié)中,教師要引導學生自學、自做、自助、自悟,即指導學生形成自主學習意識,掌握合適的學習策略。語法項目是用現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來,設計了3個練習:練習1是通過觀察“熱身”部分中的問題來了解用現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來的用法以及這種時態(tài)的構成,并要求從閱讀文章中找出相似的句子;練習2以記者采訪的形式,通過談論制定旅游計劃學習現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來的用法;練習3給出了表示將來的時間狀語,要求仿照例句用現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來的句子填空。設計這些練習的目的就是讓學生通過具體的語境了解、理解并正確運用現(xiàn)在進行時表示將來的用法。
“語言運用(Using Language)”部分含讀和討論(Reading and discussing)、聽和說(Listening and speaking)和寫(Writing)三個綜合訓練。讀和討論(Reading and discussing)是JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG(湄公河旅行游記)的第二部分A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS(山中一宿),主要講述了她們在西藏山中度過的一宿,爬山路的艱苦及樂趣;聽和說(Listening and speaking)圍繞中心話題,講述王薇和王坤在去往大理與表兄弟會面的路上與一個老撾女孩的對話;寫(Writing)要求學生把自己想象成王坤的朋友圍繞話題給他寫一封短信詢問老撾的情況。練習冊中與之對應的Listening、Listening task 和 Reading task中的語篇分別是JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG(湄公河旅行游記)的第四、五、六部分。這一部分的主要目的就是培養(yǎng)學生通過閱讀、聽力等各種途徑獲取信息的能力,以及通過小組討論、說、寫等手段培養(yǎng)學生用英語進行交際的能力,使學生了解生態(tài)旅游的概念和意義,樹立為建立人與自然和諧發(fā)展的環(huán)境而努力的意識。
“小結(Summing Up)”部分設計了一個表格,引導學生從本單元的話題、詞匯和語法等方面對所學內容進行歸納總結。這樣做的目的是便于學生復習掌握本單元的要點內容,更重要的是使學生養(yǎng)成良好的學習習慣,從而提高學習效率,同時也鍛煉了學生的歸納總結的能力。
“學習建議(Learning Tip)”部分鼓勵學生外出旅行時寫旅游日記(travel journal)。這無論對于提高自己的英語水平,還是滿足許多人喜歡看游記的愿望,都是極為有益的,教師應該督促學生養(yǎng)成這個好習慣。

課時安排
This unit helps students make a connection between geography, or the “lay of the land”, and the customs and traditions of the people who live there. The places visited in this unit are close to home:in China and Southeast Asia. Critical thinking skills developed in this unit will include planning for a trip and solving problems after the trip has begun. The skills students are asked to use are set in realistic situations and are intended to make students more resourceful. The focus in this unit is on how to read an atlas to make travel plans and how to find ways to travel. An atlas offers a wealth of information about geography and is one way to increase students’ awareness of their global environment. Use of an atlas especially addresses the needs of students with visual and spatial learning styles. Of course, the photos and maps included in this unit add to the skills taught.
