人教课标高一必修1Unit4Earthquakes首先让学生读一封邀请函,要求学生设想自己就是被邀请的学生,接着学生讨论如何写这份发言稿,应该包括哪些内容,接着把学生的注意力引入到1906年旧金山大地震,学生听英语材料,完成有关练习,促进听力能力。然后进入到写作环节,开始让学生阅读两条当地新闻,分析新闻的特点,然后让学生尝试,最后还要求学生输出所学,设计一份海报,可以请同学展示。本节课内容充实,设计的练习合理得当,对学生语言听,说,写能力的提高有极大促进作用。1.Hereisaletterofinvitation.Readitcarefullyandimaginethatyouarethestudentwhohasbeeninvitedtogiveaspeech.OfficeoftheCityGovernmentTangshan,hebeiChinaJuly5,201____Dear_____,Congratulations!WearepleasedtotellyouthatyouhavewonthehighschoolspeakingcompetitionaboutnewTangshan.Yourspeechwasheardbyagroupoffivejudges,allofwhomagreedthatitwasthebestonethisyear.Yourparentsandyourschoolshouldbeveryproudofyou!Nextmonththecitywillopenanewparktohonourthosewhodiedintheterribledisaster.Theparkwillalsohonourthosewhohelpedthesurvivors.OurofficewouldliketohaveyouspeaktotheparkvisitorsonJuly28at11:00am.Asyouknow,thisisthedaythequakehappenedthirty-_____yearsago.Weinvitedyoutobringyourfamilyandfriendsonthatspecialday.Sincerely,ZhangShaTangshan’snewlook2.Nowinpairsprepareashortspeech,inwhichyoushould:thankthosewhoworkedhardtorescuesurvivorsandlistsomeofthethingstheworkersdidtohelpthem;thankthosewhoworkedhardtobuildanewcity;(Forexample:theybuiltnewhomesandofficesinonlysevenyears.TheUNhonouredthemfortheirquickwork.)thankthevisitorsforlisteningtoyourspeech.Iwouldliketoexpressmythanksto…who…Here,Iwishtoexpressmythanksforthegreatefforts…I’dalsoliketothank…Nowordsarestrongenoughtoexpressour…Itwasterriblewhen…Itseemedasif…Iremember…Ifelt…Notlongafterthat…Luckily,…Howwouldyoufeelifyourhomewassuddenlydestroyedwithoutwarning?Inpairsmakealistofusefuladjectivestoexpressyourfeelings.EarthquakehappenedinSanFrancisco,1906.SanFranciscoSanFranciscoliesinnorthernCaliforniaandissurroundedonthreesidesbywater.At5:13onthemorningofApril18th,1906,thecitywasshakenbyaterribleearthquake.Agreatpartofthecitywasdestroyedandalargenumberofbuildingswereburnt.Thenumberofpeoplewholosthomesreachedasmanyas250,000.About700peoplediedintheearthquakeandthefires.ThelisteningtextisaninterviewofasurvivorofthegreatSanFranciscoearthquakeof1906.Listentothetapeandthentellwhethertheyaretrueorfalse.1.Themanwassleepingdownstairswhentheearthquakehappened.2.Manyhugebuildingswereshaking–brickswerefalling.=536391105aa833d25d57bd823.Alotofpeoplewereburiedundertheruins.4.Somecowswerekilledinthefires.5.Hefeltsaferbecausehegotawayeasily.Listentothetapeagainandingroupsdiscussthesequestions.1.Whendidtheearthquakebegin?Theearthquakebeganaround5o’clockinthemorning.2.Whatdidthespeakerdoafterhewokeup?Thespeakerrushedoutsideashewokeup.=536391105aa833d25d57bd823.Whatdidheseeandhearoutside?Whenhegotoutsidehethoughttheworldhadcometoanend.Heheardpeoplecryingandshouting.Hesawpeoplerunningeverywhereandbricksfallingdownfrombuildings.Therewerebigfirestoo.4.Whathappenedtothemannexttohim?Themannexttohimwaskilledbybricksfallingfromanearbybuilding.5.Howdidhegetawayfromthecity?Hegotawayfromthecitybyboat.6.Whichofyouradjectivesdescribetheman’sfeelingsmostclosely?Veryshocked,devastated.onPage67AposterWhattheposterisaboutandwhy.Theitemsandwhytheyarechosen.Whatshouldbeavoidedandwhy.Writeaposterinclassaccordingtothethreepartsgivenabove.Whenitiscompleted,displayyourposterintheclassroom.SampleposterAnearthquakemayhappenatanytimesoit’sbesttoprepareyourpersonalearthquakebag.Collecttheseitemsandkeepthemsomewherenearyou.1abottleofwater2money3personalwashingthings4foodandsweets5atorch6mobilephone7ablanket8medicineRemember:Donotputfreshfruitinthebagasitwillgobadquicklyandcauseproblems.ITISBETTERTOBEPREPAREDTHANSORRY!
