2、安排了八个部分：“热身(Warming Up)”“读前(Pre-reading)”“阅读(Reading)”“理解(Comprehending)”“语言学习(Learning about Language)”“语言运用(Using Language)”“小结(Summing Up)”和“学习建议(Learning Tip)”。“热身(Warming Up)”部分通过两张图片引出话题“一旦大地震发生，将会造成怎样的危害？”，为本单元的主题作了“热身活动”。“读前(Pre-reading)”部分设置了两个开放性的问题，要求学生描述、讨论与地震有关的话题。目的是增加学生的生活常识，提高他们的应变能力

3、。这部分为接下来的阅读作了很好的铺垫。学生可通过讨论，参阅有关地震的书籍，并运用一些生活常识来回答这两个问题。“阅读(Reading)”部分是一篇新闻报道，详细介绍了1976年唐山大地震前的预兆、地震造成的城市建筑和人畜损失以及震后人们勇敢面对现实并及时实施抢救和重建工作的情况。文中关于地震的词汇较多，教师可在课前布置学生查找新唐山的中英文资料和与地震相关的词汇；文中还提及了很多孩子失去双亲成为孤儿，矿工在地震中的遭遇，救护人员和解放军官兵不顾自身安危奋力抢险的事迹，灾难无情人有情，感人至深。教师可将这些作为素材，设计多种任务，展开课堂教学活动。另外文中还出现了大量的定语从句，这对学生的语言阅

4、读能力提出了更高的要求。在阅读教学中教师还可指导学生通过各种渠道如报纸、杂志、图书馆和网络等资源查找有关唐山的资料，使学生进一步了解唐山大地震和如今的唐山，形成对比和强烈的震撼，从而更好地了解学习唐山人民勇敢面对自然灾害，积极进行灾后重建的精神。最后，通过对文章的学习，了解新闻的特点，为后面的写作作准备。重点词汇和语法的学习可结合文章进行，并配以适当的练习。“理解（Comprehending）”部分包括五个练习：练习1要求连接句子的正确部分；练习2要求列出唐山地震中发生的事情和时间；练习3要求写出文章的段落大意，并概括文章大意；练习4要求学生用自己的话解释文章标题；练习5要求学生就课文某一段落

5、作采访活动。主要目的是为了帮助学生更好地理解“阅读(Reading)”部分的文章，尤其是练习3更突出了培养学生整体把握文章的能力。“语言学习(Learning about Language)”部分涉及本单元的重点词汇和主要语法项目。词汇部分设计了4个练习：练习1是从阅读材料中为下面的每一项释义找到正确的单词或短语；练习2要求学生从阅读文章中找出尽量多的单词来分类描绘地震；练习3是用课文中的一些单词完成段落；练习4要求完成句子，考查as if的用法。这部分的目的是要求学生在整体把握文章的基础上，掌握重点词汇的词义及使用，注重培养学生运用上下文猜测词义的能力。语法项目是定语从句，设计了三个练习：练

6、习1要求找出阅读文章中带定语从句的句子；练习2要求用that, which, who和whose填空完成句子、翻译成汉语并作比较；练习3要求通过游戏的形式造句并用定语从句扩展这些句子。该部分主要通过阅读和句型练习帮助学生学习由that, which, who和whose引导的定语从句，培养学生自主学习的能力。“语言运用(Using Language)”部分分“读和说(Reading and speaking)”、“听力(Listening)”和“读和写作(Reading and writing)”三个步骤：“读和说(Reading and speaking)”训练提供了一封邀请函，要求学生阅读

7、后写一篇在地震纪念公园落成仪式上的演讲稿，接着观察新唐山纪念邮票然后以小组的形式讨论地震后城市重建的问题，主要培养学生在实际生活中运用英语的能力。在随后的“听力”(Listening)部分里，一位美国人以第一人称讲述了他在1906年旧金山大地震中的可怕经历，要求学生根据听力材料进行正误判断和回答问题，旨在培养学生学会获取听力材料中的细节要点的能力，并通过听来模仿标准的语音和语调，同时让学生了解人们在自然灾害中的经历和感受。“读和写(Reading and writing)”部分要求学生先阅读一篇新闻故事，然后为报纸写一篇新闻报道，描写家乡的一件不同寻常的事件，旨在培养学生按照规范的步骤进行写作

8、，如选择适当的标题、组织语言、清晰地表达等，学会拟定写作提纲。 “小结(Summing Up)”部分帮助学生整理、巩固本单元所学到的知识，其中包括学到的关于地震的知识、有用的动词、名词、表达方式和新的语法项目。一个单元学完后，鼓励学生进行一番归纳和总结是非常有用的，这样可以起到事半功倍的效果。“学习建议(Learning Tip)”部分要求学生重视听的技能的训练，并就听英语方面给出了一些建议，建议学生多听广播或多看电视里的英语节目。多听不仅能够提高听力水平，还能够帮助学生改善语音、语调，从而提高说的能力。因此，听不仅是吸收信息的重要渠道，也是学好英语的重要手段之一。教师可鼓励学生常听英文广播或

This unit keeps a positive tone or outlook. It can make students not only understand

17、the dangers people face in a quake, but also realize that there are things that can be done to minimize the damage caused by quakes. It includes exercises and tasks that enable students to think about how to avoid quakes, or at least some of the damage they can cause. This unit also lets them role-p

18、lay community work that deals with disaster relief. Thus, based on the theme, contents and teaching objectives, the whole teaching procedures can fall into seven periods as follows:Period 1:Warming up and ReadingPeriod 2:Important language pointsPeriod 3:Grammar:the Attributive Clause (I)Period 4:Li

19、steningPeriod 5:Using languagePeriod 6:Reading task and Speaking taskPeriod 7:Revision (Summing up, Learning tip and Project) Period 1Warming up and Reading整体设计从容说课This is the first teaching period of this unit. At the beginning of the class, the teacher can lead in the topic of the unit by showing

20、students some pictures of natural disasters and talking about them.As to Warming Up, the teacher had better ask students to describe the two photos on Page 25. In a sense, the photos show two cities famous for their earthquakes during a period of calm. Students must imagine what an earthquake could

21、do to the buildings, roads and bridges they see in the photos. When students try to express their ideas, they will probably have difficulty. This activity provides them with the chance to learn how to do this. It is also a good opportunity for the teacher to teach them the new words and phrases for

22、the unit, such as cracks, cut across houses, roads and canals, fall down, lie in ruins and destroy.Before reading the passage A Night the Earth Didnt Sleep, the students should discuss the two questions in the part Pre-reading. For the first question, students must consider what is of most value to

23、them materially. Perhaps the things students would take are expensive, or perhaps the things would have symbolic value. Would they take their camera or a photo album? Would they take their diary or a favorite sweater? The choices the students make and the reasons they give for making those choices s

24、hould reveal something about them as people. The second question asks students to make guesses about what happens before an earthquake. Of course, the reading will describe to them what actually happened as the result of one terrible earthquake. So this question must precede the reading. Encourage s

25、tudents to think freely about the question and think of a reason why such and such might happen. This part prepares students for the reading passage.The reading passage titled A Night the Earth Didnt Sleep recounts the terrible earthquake that nearly destroyed the city of Tangshan in Hebei Province

26、in 1976. The earthquake caused a greater loss of life than any other in the last century. The teacher can ask the students first to read quickly to get the main idea or topic sentence of each paragraph, then read carefully to locate particular information for exercises in the part Comprehending or s

27、ome other exercises, and finally have a discussion of style in order to understand the passage better. During the course of reading teaching, the teacher can not only develop students reading ability, including skimming, scanning and other reading skills, but also get the students to learn about bas

28、ic knowledge about earthquakes and learn from the bravery of the people in Tangshan to face the reality and rebuild the city. Because there are too many new words in the reading passage, in order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they a

29、re reading.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, the students should be required to retell the passage in their own words at the end of the class. In order to arouse the students interest, the teacher can hold a competition between groups.教学重点1. Get the students to know basic knowledge
