About the topic and the structures
单元话题和结构
本单元的话题是“伟大的科学家”,介绍了西方历史上的两位科学家。本单元句法项目是“过去分词作定语和表语”。
题解:科学家是专门从事科学研究的人士,包括自然科学家和社会科学家这两大类,凡可以称之为科学家的都是一些成功人士,如:牛顿、哥白尼等。
《金色教案》教学设计在单元课时划分上与课本保持一致,即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中,我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排的因素,对课本、对《金色教案》教学设计重新划分课时、裁剪、拼接使用我们提供的材料,以便“物尽所用”,达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以参照我们提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。
Period 1
Reading
阅读课
Warming Up 部分教师可以选择“定义”、“谈论”和“问答”形式激发背景知识、为其后的阅读作好词语、结构和心理的准备。
Reading是篇记叙文,记叙John snow 战胜霍乱的过程。教师引导学生进行如下活动:Listening and reading aloud,Reading and underlining,Reading to finish the table below,Making a diagram of the text JOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA”,Retelling the text in your own words with the help of the diagram above.
背景:霍乱是由霍乱弧菌所致的烈性肠道传染病,临床上以剧烈无痛性泻吐,米泔样大便,严重脱水,肌肉痛性痉挛及周围循环衰竭等为特征,解放后我国已消灭本病,但国外仍有不断发生和流行。
Period 2
Learning about language
知识课
Learning about language和课本一样,《金色教案》也分两部分:词法和句法。教师可以按照我们如下设计授课: Warming up by interviewing John Snow,Learning about The Participle,Discovering words and expressions,Discovering useful structures,Closing down by reading and copying。
Period 3
Using language
运用课
Using language 教师可以灵活使用我们提供的教学设计:Warming up by looking and listening,Listening and answering,Discussing future jobs,Reading and copying,Summing up theories,Writing a letter to Copernicus。补充:钱学森是中国现代物理学家、世界著名火箭专家,为中国火箭和导弹技术的发展提出了极为重要的实施方案。然后是围绕哥白尼的读、写活动。
哥白尼在他的伟大著作《天体运行论》中正确地论述了地球绕其轴心运转;月亮绕地球运转;地球和其他所有行星都绕太阳运转的事实。
实际教学过程课时划分建议
Period 1
将Warming Up、 Pre-reading、Reading和Comprehending整合在一起上一节“阅读课”。
Period 2
将Learning about language 和Workbook中的 USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS、USING STRUCTURES 整合在一起上一节“语言知识课”。
Period 3
将Using language 设计为一节包括听说读写单项技能或组合技能训练的“综合技能课(一)”。
Period 4
将Workbook 的READING AND LISTENING和TALKING整合在一起上一节“听说课”。
Period 5
将Workbook 的LISTENING TASK、READING AND WRITING TASK和 SPEAKING TASK整合为一节“综合技能课(二)”。

Procedures
1. Warming up
⑴Warming up by defining
Good morning, class. I am glad to see you on this special day, the day when you become a senior two student. I am happy to be your teacher of English.
Today we are going to read about a certain scientist. But first let’s define the word “scientist”. What is a scientist?
Scientist
A scientist is a person who works in science, trying to understand how the universe or other things work.
Scientists can work in different areas of science. Here are some examples: Those that study physics are physicists. Those that study chemistry are chemists. Those that study biology are biologists.
⑵Warming up by asking and answering questions about science
To begin with, work in groups of four and find out as many scientists as possible and their contributions. They can be both Chinese and foreign scientists, living or dead.

⑶Warming up by talking about top honor for two Chinese scientists
Hello, everyone. Nice meeting you here. You are now a senior two student. Some of you will be a scientist in the future. But have you ever heard that Yuan Longping, director-general of the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre in central China's Hunan Province and Bai Chunli, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing were formally introduced to the academy on April 28, 2007 at a global meeting of US academy members and foreign associates.
●Yuan Longping, director-general of the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre in Central China's Hunan Province and Bai Chunli, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing were formally introduced to the academy last Saturday at a global meeting of US academy members and foreign associates.
Yuan, 77, dubbed the "father of hybrid rice" for his extraordinary contributions toward developing high-yield rice, is a household name in China.
With more than half of China's paddy fields growing Yuan's rice, his scientific breakthrough has fed millions of people in the world's most populous country.
His "super rice" has also been introduced to more than 20 other countries.
●Bai, 52, is considered to be a leading expert in China's molecular nanostructure and nanotechnology studies.
"I think the fast development of Chinese science has drawn increased attention from the US academy," Bai said in an interview with China Daily last year shortly after he was elected.
2. Pre-reading by sharing opinions on proving a new idea
Anybody might come out with a new idea. But how do we prove it in scientific research? How many stages are there in examining a new idea in scientific research? What are they?
Now look at the blackboard to learn about the seven stages put in an order.
Find a problem→ Make up a question→ Think of a method→ Collect results→
Analyse the results→ Draw a conclusion→ Repeat if necessary
Could you give an example to illustrate the seven stages?
3. Reading
