M5U1 Project
Thoughts on the design:
本课是以读引做的project。本课先分析report的内容要点，培养学生获取信息的能力。借助于文章信息帮助学生分析这个报告的结构。引导学生写report需要注意的事项，并帮助学生复习问卷设计的注意事项。此外，通过提供的另一篇阅读文章，让学生明白作者对于友谊的看法，并同时激发学生们自己对友谊的思考。通过学习，学生将能出好一份调查问卷进行调查并模仿 “Teenagers’ Friendships” 完成一份调查报告。

Step 1 Lead in (PPT1-4)
Daily talk about friends
Boys and girls, in this unit, we have talked about friends and friendship. Tom (a boy), do you have a good friend, why? Mary (a girl), do you have a good friend? Why do you think so?
All the boys have something in common and so do all the girls. So from their answers, we can find that boys and girls do have differences on the topic of “friends and friendship”. Someone has conducted a survey and written a report on this topic. In this class, we will study it and also we have to give our own report on other differences between adolescent girls and boys.
[Explanation]
这个project让学生比较男女生的某个差别并作出一个报告。Project的文章给我们提供了一个范本。由本单元的话题导入比较自然，同时也讨论了男女生友谊观的差别，为读文章做了铺垫。同时在上课的一开始，就给学生明确了本节课的目的是要做一个自己的report，能引导学生注意模仿书上的例子。
Step 2 Model study
1. Go over the passage and find the main idea and some detailed information. (PPT 5-10)
a) analyse para.2 to para.4
Open your books to p18. First of all, please number the paragraphs. Altogether there are 5 paragraphs. Now please read the first sentence from para.2 to para. 4 in one minute and tell me what’s the theme of this part. (Different attitudes of boys and girls towards friendship)
What are the differences? (shared activities/shared feelings)
Para. 2 Friendships between girls and boys are based on different things.
Para. 3 . Adolescent boys cannnot name a single best friend. It’s different from adolesect girls
Para. 4 Adolescent girls can name a best friend.
Q: How does the writer prove his idea that boys and girls are different in the attitudes of friends in para. 3 and para.4? By quoting (引用) the interviewees’ words.
b) analyse para. 1
Go over para.1 and think about the question what’s the function of the first para. 1?
To introduce the topic of this report. Use an example to introduce the topic of differences between boys and girls.
c) analyse para.5—the last para.
The similarities in the attitudes towards friendship between boys and girls.
2. Review the structure of this report. (PPT 11)
So after getting the details of the report, let’s have an overall view of the structure. Introduction to the topic-different attitudes between boys and girls(the ability to name a best friend, different bases)- the similarities.
3. Suggestions on giving an oral report about attitudes towards friendship (PPT 12-13)
1) Use an example or a story to introduce the topic.
2) Present some differences by analysing data or quoting interviewee’s words.
3) Draw a conclusion.
4) Mention some similarities.
[Explanation]
分析文章内容有助于学生进一步了解男女生友谊观的差异，培养学生获取信息的能力。这个project 的最终目的是要做一个report.　所以分析report 的结构对学生完成自己的report 大有帮助, 能起到引导作用。
Step 3　Prepare to make a report (PPT 14-19)
1. Now it’s your turn to present your own report. Before you present your report, you have to write your report. Before writing your report, you need to conduct a survey and make some calculations. Before conducting a survey, you have to design a questionnaire. Before designing a questionnaire, you need to choose a topic.
2. Work in a group of 6. You want to survey people to get to know what makes a good friend and what friendship is to boys and girls.
3. Now it’s time to read another passage on P19 and find out what the author thinks of friendship? This will help in your final oral report.
4. Please discuss the tasks and decide everyone’s duty.
5. After you know your duty, now it’s time for you to design a questionnaire. Here are some tips to remind you for designing questionnaire.
After you have your questionnaire, you can conduct your survey then. Here is something you should pay attention to.
Step 4 Assignment (PPT 20)

　　这个部分是project的目的，引导他们在课堂上确定好课题，分好工有助于他们在课后进行调查写出报告。同时，他们已学过制作问卷，在这里复习一下可以帮他们提高调查问卷的质量。提出report的建议有助于降低学生写report的难度，增加他们的信心。
