Unit4Globalwarming单元要览本单元的中心话题是人类当今面临的环境问题,主要探讨了“全球变暖”和“节约能源”等方面的问题。由于人类过多使用不可再生能源,大气中二氧化碳的含量逐年增加,导致全球气温上升。通过学习本单元,让学生了解能源分为“不可再生能源”和“可再生能源”,帮助学生树立“节约能源、保护环境”的主人翁意识。本单元的主要教学内容如下表所示:类别课程标准要求掌握的内容话题Globalwarming,pollutionandtheimportanceofprotectingtheearth词汇tendv.趋向;易于;照顾catastrophen.大灾难;浩劫opposev.反对;反抗;与(某人)较量floodn.洪水;水灾statev.陈述;说明consequencen.结果;后果;影响glancev.看一下;扫视n.一瞥existencen.生存;存在quantityn.量;数量commitmentn.承诺;交托;信奉rangen.种类;范围pollutionn.污染;弄脏tendencyn.趋向;趋势growthn.增长;生长circumstancen.环境;情况motorn.发动机opposedadj.反对的,对立的cann.容器;罐头steadyadj.平稳的;持续的microwaven.微波炉;微波widespreadadj.分布广的;普遍的educatorn.教育工作者;教育家averageadj.平均的contributionn.贡献consumev.消费;消耗;耗尽;吃完presentationn.显示;演出subscribev.同意;捐赠;订阅disagreementn.分歧;不一致advocatev.拥护;提倡;主张randomadj.胡乱的;任意的refreshv.使恢复;使振作mildadj.温和的;温柔的;淡的graphn.图表;坐标图;曲线图outeradj.外部的phenomenonn.现象electricaladj.电的;与电有关的fueln.燃料casualadj.随便的;偶然的datan.资料;数据nuclearadj.核的;核能的trendn.趋势;倾向perprep.每;每一comeabout发生;造成keepon继续subscribeto同意;赞成;订购onthewhole大体上;基本上quantitiesof大量的onbehalfof代表……一方;作为……的代言人goup上升;增长;升起putupwith忍受;容忍resultin导致solongas只要beopposedto反对andsoon等等evenif即使greenhouseeffect温室效应句型1....it_ishumanactivitythathascausedthisglobalwarming...(emphatic“it”)2....itisarapidincreasewhen_compared_toothernaturalchanges.(ellipsis)3.Thereisnodoubtthat_the_earth_is_becoming_warmer...(theappositiveclause)4.Withoutthe“greenhouseeffect”,theearthwould_beaboutthirty-threedegreesCelsiuscoolerthanitis.(thesubjunctivemood)功能1.同意与不同意(Agreementanddisagreement)Exactly.You'reright.Iagree.That'scorrect/true/right.I'mafraidIdisagreewithyou.I'mafraidnot.Idon'tthinkso.Noway.Idon'tagree.Idoubt...2.责备与抱怨(Blameandcomplaint)I'msorrytobringthisup,but...I'msorrytohavetosaythis,but...Theyshouldn'thavedoneit.Theyaretoblame.Perhaps/Maybetheyshould/oughtto...Whydon'tyoudosomethingaboutit?语法“it”的用法(theuseof“it”)(2)...it_ishumanactivitythathascausedthisglobalwarming...教学重点1.Getstudentstoknowaboutglobalwarminganditseffect;torealizewhatwecandoaboutglobalwarming.2.Havestudentslearnsomeusefulnewwordsandexpressionsaboutglobalwarmingandletthemlearneffectivewaystomasterthem.3.Enablestudentstograspandusetheexpressionsofagreementanddisagreement,blameandcomplaint.4.Letstudentslearnthenewgrammaritem:theuseof“it”(2).5.Developstudents'listening,speaking,readingandwritingability.教学难点1.Enablestudentstomastertheuseof“it”(2).2.Letstudentslearntowriteashortpassagetotellothershowtosolvetheproblemofglobalwarming.3.Developstudents'integrativeskills.课时安排Periodsneeded:6Period1WarmingUp,Pre-reading,ReadingandComprehendingPeriod2LanguageStudyPeriod3Grammar—theUseof“It”(2)Period4ListeningandSpeakingPeriod5ReadingandWritingPeriod6SummingUp,LearningTipandAssessmentPeriod1WarmingUp,Pre-reading,ReadingandComprehending整体设计教学内容分析Thisisthefirstteachingperiodofthisunit.Thecentralpartofthisperiodisthereadingpassagewiththetitleof“TheEarthIsBecomingWarmer—ButDoesItMatter?”talkingabouttheglobalissuewhichhasagreateffectonhumanbeings'life.WarmingUpgivessixpicturestohelpstudentslistthesourcesofenergytheycanthinkofinourdailylife.Thentheywillbeledtodiscusswhichenergysourceis“renewable”andwhichis“non-renewable”.Thispartisdesignedtohelpthestudentstorecalltheirbackgroundknowledgeaboutenergyandpreparesstudentsforthewholeunit.Pre-readingprovidesapictureofagreenhouseandthentellsuswhatagreenhouseisandwhat“greenhousegases”are.Thestudentswillbeledtodiscusswhattheythinkgreenhousegasesdo,leadingtothetopicofthereadingpassage.Readingisapassagefromanenvironmentalmagazineforyoungpeople.Itputsforwardthepossibleeffectofincreasedcarbondioxideintheatmosphereanddifferentpointsofviewaboutit.Italsoanalyzesthecausesoftheearth'sincreasedtemperature.Itposesquestionsandencouragesstudentstothinkabouttheissues.Therearetwographsinitthattellusthe“temperaturedifferencefromlong-termaverage,1860-2000”and“carbondioxidecontentintheatmosphere,1957-1997”.Charactersinthepassage—DrJaniceFoster,GeorgeHambleyandCharlesKeelingareallrealpersonsandtheirviewsreflecttheviewsofsomescientiststoday.Comprehendingconsistsofthreewrittenororalexercisesforthestudentstodosoastohelpthestudentstogetabetterunderstandingofthetext,thatistosay,tohelptheteachertocheckhowmuchthestudentshaveunderstoodthetext.三维目标设计Knowledgeandskills1.Toknowthemeaningsofthefollowingnewwordsandphrases:consume(消费;消耗;耗尽),comeabout(发生;造成),random(胡乱的;任意的),phenomenon(现象),subscribe(同意;捐赠;订阅;签署文件),subscribeto(同意;赞成;订购),fuel(燃料),quantity(量;数量),quantitiesof(大量的),tend(趋向;易于;照顾),goup(上升;增长;升起),per(每;每一),data(资料;数据),resultin(导致),trend(趋势;倾向),catastrophe(大灾难;浩劫),flood(洪水;洪灾),oppose(反对;反抗),opposed(反对的;对立的),beopposedto(反对),consequence(结果;后果),state(陈述;说明),range(种类;范围),evenif(即使),keepon(继续),glance(看一下;扫视),steady(平稳的;持续的),steadily(平稳地,持续地)2.Tolearnaboutsomefactsandviewsaboutglobalwarming.3.Tolearnhowtheinformationisorganized.4.Todevelopthestudents'readingabilitybyskimmingandscanningthepassage.5.Todevelopthestudents'speakingabilitybytalkingaboutglobalwarming.Processandmethods1.WhiledoingWarmingUptheteachercanleadinthetopicofthisunitbyshowingstudentssomepicturesor
