Students conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing practice to deepen their understanding of the points taught in class.1)Pre-reading tasks(30 minutes)1)T asks Ss the following questions on the song Coming out of Dark:(5minutes)

----Consider the title of the song, what does “Dark” refer to?(near death;loss of consciousness after the car accident;slow and painful recovery;despair)

-----How is the song related to the theme of the unit?(To get over despair after injury is also a form of overcoming obstacles.)

-----What happened to the singer?

-----what helped her pull through all the hardship she suffered? 2)T dictates the following proverbs to Ss:(15 minutes)1)Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者事竟成)2)Rome wasn’t built in a day.(伟业非一日之功)3)God helps those who help themselves.(自助者天助之)4)Constant dripping wears away the stone.(锲而不舍,金石可镂)2)Cultural notes(1)Olympics: the Olympic Games are the most important international sports event in the world held every four years.The ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia every four years from 776 B.C.to 392 A.D.the modern Game s were first held in 1896 in Greece and, with the exception of three games not held because of the two world wars, have been held in various cities of the world art regular 4 year intervals.Since 1924, a separate program of winter sports has been added to the Game.In 2008 Beijing will host the 29th Olympic Games.(2)The Olympic symbol------five interlocking red, blue, yellow, black, and green circles on a white field-----represents the continents of the world joined in friendship.(3)The Olympic motto is Citius-Altius-Fortius.These words mean “Swifter, Higher, Stronger”.Suggested words: strong-willed, persevering, intelligent, open-minded, resourceful, talented, gifted, smart, confident, humorous, far-sighted, self-esteem, stubborn, diligent, industrious, ambitious, committed, devoted, eloquent, aggressive, dominant, arrogant, charitable, generous, extravagant, frugal, stingy, kind-hearted, warm-hearted, modest, unpretentious, proud, humble, pretentious, self-important, conceited, worldly, sophisticated, tactful, considerate, selfish, easy-going, disagreeable, skeptical, moral integrity, individual attraction(appearance, dress, words and behavior)3)While-reading tasks(75 minutes)1)Text organization

i.Listen to the tape, then T guides Ss through the directions for Text Organization Exercise 1, so that they know the text consists of four parts.ii.Ss scan the first sentence of Paras1—6, and get ready to answer the following questions:-----Which first sentence switches from past tense to past perfect tense?(the first sentence of Para 3)(T may as well as tell Ss this: a story is usually narrated in the simple past tense.When a past event is recalled, the past perfect tense will be used as a signal.Afterwards the flashback is also narrated in the simple past tense.)

-----Which first sentence shows that the flashback is over and the narration returns to the National Junior Olympics(the first sentence of paras6)

------By now, do you know how to divide the text into four parts? Write down your answers in the blanks provided in Text Organization Exercise 1)2)T explains language points and gives Ss practice(see language study).when they comes to the end of a part, Ss will sum up its main idea in the blanks provided in Text Organization Exercise 1)

3)Ss answer these questions(see Text Analysis):-----Without the last sentence, would you still admire Michael Stone’s achievement?

-----Who would you admire better, a Michael Stone with a sound body or a blind Michael Stone?------Why does the author keep the secret about Michael’ blindness until the last sentence? 4)Finding out details

i.T introduces the activity by saying: A child usually inherits characteristics from both his/her mother and father.So does Michael Stone.Michael’s mother is romantic and passionate, while his father is a hard-core realist.Work with a partner;find out those details about Michael Stone that shows him to be his mother’s boy or his father’s son.ii.Some pairs report to the class their findings.iii.T asks Ss this question: Dreaming and hard work, which is more important to Michael’s success? Why? 5)Text analysis

Those who have read this story will probably agree that its most striking feature is the closing line.As we read on, our admiration for Michael is building up until we believe that, when Michael broke both national and international records, we have reached the climax.However, the real climax is in the last sentence.When we find that out, what a great impact it has on us.The text plays on words on more than one occasion.The text title, True Height, itself has more than one meaning.We may understand it as the new bar heights that Michael cleared one after another, or we may view it as the tremendous obstacles Michael had overcome in attaining his goal.As mentioned in the Suggested Teaching plan, the word “hot” in the first paragraph also plays on two different meanings, one literal, the other figurative.5.教学方式及在教学中应注意的问题：

A combination of traditional teaching methods with the communicative approach will be adopted.Special attention should be paid to classroom interaction.Give students time to adapt to the new teaching mode in the university that are quite different from the one they were used to in the middle school.More encouragement is needed and more guidance will be given to them in their extracurricular study.6.主要参考书目：

How to write a personal description(2)

In Unit Four, Book One, we briefly discussed two aspects in the description of an individual: Focus on Characteristic Features and Supporting Facts.What will be dealt with today are: Writer’s Tone

To bring home the point the writer wants to convey to the reader, his /her tone----whether it is angry, sympathetic, amused, or admiring about the subject------plays an important role in a personal description, as in the two texts we’ve just studied the authors’ voices can be heard now and then, directly and indirectly.Opening/Closing Device

To arouse the reader’s interest or achieve better results, the writer usually designs the opening and closing paragraphs skillfully.As we can see, in Text A the writer keeps the most important fact about Michael Stone until the last word, and in Text B the author begins his essay with reference to a common saying.(2)Homework

Try to describe one of your friends or your teachers 1 His/Her physical condition;2 His/Her character traits.

Para 1: I can still see the confusion and curiosity in his eyes as he asked, “Are you poor?” 1.Why did the boy ask such a question?

——Because he was confused and curious.2.How much did the boy know about the Salvation Army bell ringer?

——Obviously he knew nothing about that.Para 2: “Well,” I stammered, trying to think, “I have more than some people, but not as much as other.” 1.How did the author think of the question?

——He thought it was difficult to answer.2.What does the author’s answer mean?

——This means he is neither poor nor rich.Para 2: His mother scolded him for the social no-no...1.What is “social no-no”?

——Something that is socially inappropriate.2.Why did the mother scold her son? Because the author looked poor, the question was socially inappropriate to ask.Para 4: Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have.1.What do many other people have?

Shortly after her visit, our relationship went straight south.1.What was their relationship after her visit? Their relationship went sour.That is to say, they were no longer boyfriend and girlfriend.2.Why there was such a change in their relationship?

——A TV that is expensive and of high quality.2.What can be inferred from this part about what role commercials can play in society? Commercials can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary.Para 9:

December is the time of year I feel wealthiest.Why does the author think so? Because December is the time for him to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in helping others.Para 12: Over the past four years, I’ve grown to understand more about myself because of a single question from a curious child.1.How has the boy’s question affected the author? The boy’s question has helped him realize that, despite his lack of expensive possessions, he is rich in many other ways and should be thankful for that.)2.Translate this sentence into Chinese.由于一个好奇的孩子提了一个简单问题，我在过去的四年中对自己的了解进了一步。III: After-reading tasks 1.Do the exercise 2.Essay writing 2

In the English-speaking world, it is customary to sing the song “Happy Birthday to You” to the birthday person.Do you know that it was originally written as a song to greet students in the morning? Two American kindergarten teachers, Mildred Hill and her sister Patty Hill wrote the song.In 1893, Mildred, who studied music, came up with the melody and Patty added some lyric to it and the song became “Good Morning to All”, which they sang every morning to their students.And the lyrics ran like this: “Good morning to you.Good morning to you.Good morning, dear children.Good morning to all.” 教学教案

江西科技师范大学理工学院 Later the title of the song was known as “Good Morning to You” when it was used for children to sing to their teacher.And the third and fourth lines became “Good morning, dear teacher.Good morning to you.”

In 1924, the song appeared in a book of music edited by Robert Coleman.And a second verse, “Happy Birthday to You,” was added to it.But it is unclear who supplied the words to the second verse.This second verse quickly became more popular than the first, and within a short time of the book’s publication, the song was known to all as “Happy Birthday to You.” And by mid-1930s it was used frequently in movies, radio shows, and Broadway musicals without the Hill family’s permission.A third sister, Jessica Hill, decided to act on behalf of her elder sisters.She filed a suit to prove that “Happy Birthday to You” was their song with different lyrics.She won in 1934, and now every time “Happy Birthday to You” is sung publicly, the Hill family gets paid.Step Three Watch and Discussion 1.Watch a video concerning the Diwali celebaration in India 1)Look at the pictures on Page 42, tell us what can you see? 2)Learning the new words and expressions, then make predictions based on the background knowledge we have just menetioned.3)Watch the video twice, then finish the exerccises on Page 43.SCRIPT

India is a land known for its beauty and color.In late fall, the temperature cools down, and, for 5 days, Hindus in India and all over the world celebrate the victory of good over evil, light over darkness.They call this time Diwali, the festival of lights.For many, the holiday begins before sunrise, at the flower market.Here, flower sellers sell beautiful jasmine flowers.The lovely smells fill the air.People will use these flowers to decorate their homes.But they must go early because by sunrise, all the flowers will be sold out.Another traditional Diwali decoration is the Rangoli.These beautiful shapes are drawn on the floor using colored sand, and surrounded by candles.The sand takes the shape of a lotus flower, which means “welcome!”

Diwali is also all about sharing.Neighbors bring each other plates of tasty holiday snacks.Later in the day, families come together to visit the temples.They wear colorful, new clothes.In the evening, the cities come alive.Shops are open on Diwali.Many go to town to buy new clothes made from colorful Indian silks.Diwali Participant:

They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2.What was their son Benjamin fond of doing during their stay at the Jinling Hotel? Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3.How would Chinese staff members of the hotel respond to Benjamin’s attempt to the key into the slot?

They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4.Why did the author decide to work the key-slot anecdote into his discussions with Chinese educators?

Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5.What did his Chinese collegues think of the key-slot incident?

Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6.What did the author emphasize in presenting his views about the incident?

He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7.What does the author emphasize in presenting his views about the incident?

He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8.In what way does the author associate the key-slot incident with “teaching by holding his hand”?

The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9.What examples does the author give to illustrate childhood education in the arts in China?

One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently;in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works;and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day.10.How do Americans and Chinese differ in their attitudes to creativity?

Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later.Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11.What makes them take different positions on the question of creativity? This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12.What suggestion goes the author make about seeking a better approach to fostering skills and creativity?

The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills. Vocabulary1、To use the machine, first the correct coins, then select the drink you want and press the button.如何使用这种自动售货机，首先要真确插入硬币，然后选则你要的饮料，最后按下按钮。

 Cloze

Is there a between learning styles in China and the West?While we should be careful to avoid the differences, they do appear to exist.In China, for example, greateris given to developing skills at an early age.The Americans,place more emphasis oncreativity in young children, leaving them toskills later.American parents tend to avoid rushing in to their children as they try toa task, thinking it better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves.Such an approach can, ,be mistaken for one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand,”Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well beto search for a method that would combine the best of both worlds.中国与西方的学习方式有什么区别吗？尽管我们试图去避免夸大他们之间的不同时，但是不同还是存在的。例如，在中国，人们优先考虑的是在早年进行技艺的学习。另一方面，美国人更加注重小孩子的创造力的发展，然后才是技艺的学习。但孩子们在完成某件事情时，美国的父母认为孩子们应该学会自己解决问题，他们会尽量避免早早地向孩子们提供帮助。有时，这个方法会让那些经常“手把手教育”的父母误会这些父母在消极怠工。这两种方法都有他们的可取之处和不好的地方，也许，找到一个将二者合二为一的办法能更好。
