1Unit1FestivalsaroundtheworldI．教学内容分析本单元的中心话题是“节日”，主要讲述了不同地区不同种类的节日。WarmingUp部分设计了小组活动，通过图表填写让学生区分中国的传统节日与别国节日的异同，目的在于激活学生已有的节日背景知识，引出主题，为以后几堂课学习热身。Pre-reading通过几个问题,调动学生已有的知识和经验，激发学生想了解更多节日的好奇心，让他们主动参与到主题教学活动中，为下面学习阅读文章作铺垫。Reading部分先简要介绍了一下早期各种节日的起源以及存在的原因，然后又分别介绍了几种世界各地的节日，依次的顺序是亡灵节、纪念名人的节日、丰收节、春天的节日等。Comprehending由四个部分组成。第一、三、四部分通过表格形式，第二部分通过让学生回答问题的方式，鼓励学生积极思考，加深对课文的理解。LearningaboutLanguage部分主要突出了本单元的语法项目——情态动词的用法。这些情态动词主要有：can，could，may，might，will，would，shall，should，must，can’t等的用法。UsingLanguage部分中包括了听、说、读、写几个部分的内容。学生可通过对TrinidadCarnival、情人节等一些节日的学习，分析问题，锻炼自己的思维能力。阅读后的习题及讨论不仅帮助学生理解文章的主旨大意，更重要的是让学生寻找解决问题的方法。LearningTip部分主要建议学生搜集各种资料，查询与世界各地节日有关的信息，了解各种节日的来源与内涵。II．教学重点和难点1.教学重点(1)本单元的生词和短语；(2)掌握一些情态动词的基本用法；(3)了解有关节日和民俗，掌握有关词汇，如custom,religious等。2.教学难点(1)增进学生对中国节日的理解，了解和感悟外国的节日；(2)提高学生的社会文化素质，加强跨国文化素质；(3)培养学生运用资源策略。本单元建议分七课时：第一、二课时：Warmingup,Pre-reading,Reading&Comprehending第三、四课时：LearningaboutLanguage第五课时：Listening(UsingLanguage)Speaking(UsingLanguage),Listening(Workbook)&Listeningtask(Workbook)第六课时：Reading(UsingLanguage)&Readingtask(Workbook)第七课时：Speakingtask(Workbook),Writing(UsingLanguage)&SummingUpIV．教学步骤：Period1&2Warmingup,Pre-reading,Reading&ComprehendingTeachingGoals:21.ToarouseSs’interestinlearningaboutthefestivalsaroundtheworld.2.ToimproveSs’listeningability.3.TotrainSs’speakingability.TeachingProcedures:Step1.Leading-inPurpose:ToactivateSsandarousethemtoexpresstheiropinionsaboutafestival.LeadSstothecontentofthisunit.Teachermaysay,“DoyouknowwhatiscalledtheChristmasofChina?TheSpringFestival.Yes.TheoldestandmostimportantfestivalinChinaistheSpringFestival.Eachcountryandeachnationhasitsownfestivals.Todaywearegoingtolearnsomethingaboutthedifferentfestivals.”Step2.WarmingUp1.AskSstoturntoP1andworkingroupstocompletetheformonP1.2.AskSstodiscussfestivalstheyhavefilledintheformandtheirimportancetothesociety.Afterthat,askSstopresenttheiropinionstoallclassmates.Step3.Pre-listeningPurpose:TohelpSslearnaboutthecontextoftheListeningtext.AskSstotalkaboutthefollowingquestionstogetthempreparedtolistentothereadingtext.1.Howmanyancientfestivalsdoyouknow?2.AreforeignfestivalsdifferentfromChinesefestivals?Inwhatpart?Step4.ListeningPurpose:Togetthemaininformationinthelisteningpart.TodevelopSs’listeningabilityTolearnsomeinformationaboutthefestivalsaroundtheworld.AskSstolistentothetape,focusonthesubjectsmentionedinthepassageandthenanswerthefollowingquestion.1.Howmanykindsoffestivalswerementionedinthetext?SuggestedAnswer:Five.2.Whatarethey?SuggestedAnswer:AncientFestivalsFestivalsoftheDeadFestivalstoHonorPeopleHarvestFestivalsSpringFestivalsStep5.Pre-readingDivideSsintogroupsoffourandaskthemtodiscussthefollowingquestions.1.What’syourfavoriteholidayoftheyear?Why?2.Whatfestivalsorcelebrationsdoyouenjoyinyourcityortown?Doyoulikespendingfestivalswithyourfamilyorwithfriends?Whatpartofafestivaldoyoulikebest---themusic,thethingstosee,thevisitsorthefood?Step6.FastreadingAskSstoreadthetextquicklyandanswerthefollowingquestions.1.Whatarefestivalsofthedeadusuallyfor?2.Whatmakeautumnfestivalshappyevents?33.Whatdopeopleusuallydoatspringfestivals?4.Whatisoneimportantreasontohavefestivalsandcelebrations?5.ComparethefestivalsofthedeadinMexico,JapanandChina.Whatthingsaresimilar?Whatthingsaredifferent?SuggestedAnswers:1.Festivalsofthedeadareforhonoringorsatisfyingdeadancestorsorothers,whosomepeoplebelievemightreturntohelporharmlivingpeople.2.Autumnfestivalsarehappyeventsbecausepeoplearethankfulthatfoodisreadyforwinterandthehardfarmworkisfinished.3.Atspringfestivals,peopleusuallyhavedances,carnivalsandotheractivitiestocelebratetheendofwinterandthecomingofspring.4.Itisimportanttohavefestivalsandcelebrationssowecanenjoylife/beproudofourcustoms/forgetourworkforalittlewhile.5.TheChinese,JapaneseandMexicanfestivalsofthedeadallhavecustomstohonourthedead.TheChineseandJapanesegotocleantheirancestors’graves,andtheMexicanofferfood,flowersandgiftstothedead.However,therearesomedifferences.TheMexicanseatspecialfoodthatlookslikebones,somethingtheChineseandJapanesedonotdo.Step7.Intensivereading1.AskSstoreadthetextcarefullyandsumupthemainideaofeachpart.2.Discussinpairswhichfestivalsyouthinkarethemostimportantandwhicharethemostfun.Thenfillinthechartwithyourideas.TypeoffestivalExampleoffestivalReasonsforyourchoiceMostimportantMostfunSuggestedAnswer:Variousanswersareacceptable.3.AskSsthefollowingquestionandencourageSstogivesomesimilaritiesthattheythinkfestivalshave,andgivetheirreasons.TheninvitesSstotellthesimilaritiesandthenaskthemtopresentthembeforetheclass.Whatsimilaritiescanyoufindamongthesefestivals?SuggestedAnswer:Theymostincludefood,musicorentertainment,likedances,lightorfire.Theyaremosttogetherwithfamilyandfriends.Festivalsexisteverywhere.Manyofthemcelebratesimilarideasandimportantculturaleventsorremembereventofpeople.Humanbeingsneedtohavethingsinlifetocelebrateandhaveabreakfromdailystrugglesanddemands.Step8.HomeworkPurpose:Togetafurtherunderstandingofthetext.41.AskSstocontinuediscussingtheiropinionsaboutfestivalswiththeirpartners.2.AskSstoreadthetexto
