1、 Period 2 Learning about LanguageThe General Idea of This Period In this period the students are to do some exercises on the useful words,expressions and structures learned in the reading part.It is to help them use the useful words and expressions from the context.They are also to learn somethi
2、ng about word formation,which will help them to remember English words so that they will enlarge their vocabulary.To achieve the above aims,the teacher can help the students to learn autonomously and cooperatively.That is,the teacher will get the students to work on the exercises individually first
3、and then check the answers together with their partners.While dealing with word formation,the teacher will help the students do it as a task.That is,the teacher will first ask the students to read some words and sentences from the text in which some compound words,derivatives are used,then ask them
4、to discover how these words are formed,summarize the rules and write as many words as possible according the rules in groups. Teaching Important and Difficult Points How to grasp and apply the knowledge of word formation to enlarge vocabulary. How to gain the ability to use the key words and
5、expressions from the context. Teaching & Learning Methods Autonomous learning,cooperative learning,task-based learning. Teaching Aids A multi-media computer and a blackboard. Three Dimensional Teaching Aims Knowledge and Skills Help the students learn to use the useful words and expres

9、many parks have been designed to provide entertainment.We call them theme parks.The new parks are usually huge places and have a variety of things to see and do.Theme parks have a certain idea—a certain theme—that the whole park is based on.For example,a sport theme park will offer visitors sports t
10、o play or watch;a history or culture theme park will let us see how our ancestors dressed,worked and lived.The oldest theme park in the world is Disneyland. It seemed like a place of fantasy. Besides these,we have the marine or ocean parks,the science theme parks and so on to let us enjoy totally di

15、m closer to my aunt because she and I both like shopping for clothes. 4.The map showed me that China is closer to Japan than England. 5.My brother is getting closer every year to becoming the leader of his company. Step 3 Discovering useful structures T:Boys and girls,have you finished check
16、ing your answers?If so,let’s come to the next part—Discovering useful structures.First read the following sentences from the reading passage,pay attention to the underlined words and see what you can find from these words.Of course you can have a discussion. 1.They are more than amusement parks wi
17、th rides,such as a Ferris wheel,merry-go-round or a roller coaster. 2.They all charge money for admission. The big companies that own theme parks expect to make a profit not just by the charges for admission,but also by selling souvenirs in their shops and advertising them on television. 3.So
18、basketball and football may be sold along with sneakers and special sports clothing. S:Let me try.From these words,we can see that some words are made up of two words or more;some words can not only be used as verbs,but also as nouns,and some words are formed by adding prefix or suffix. T:You re
19、ally have good observation!As you can see two words or more can make up one word and some are words joined by a hyphen or two,we call these words compound words.Some words can be used both as verbs and nouns.This is another way how words are used,we call it conversion.If some words are formed by add
20、ing prefix or suffix,we call this method derivation.We have learned many compound words,derivatives and those words which can be used as different parts of speech.Grasping these will help you remember words easily and enlarge your vocabulary.So now I’d like you to work in ten groups to recall and wr
