新课标必修1教学设计Unit4 Earthquakes 一、二课时.doc

第一课时 Warming up 第一步：看多媒体图像和图片了解有关地震海啸等自然灾害,让学生结合看的内容说出描写自然灾害词汇和词组：shake, rise, burst, canal, steam, ruin, injure, destroy, shock, quake, rescue, disaster, survivor…… 第二步：根据所看的内容介绍结合自己对地震的了解，组织两人活动，让学生讨论书中的问题，充分发挥想象力，描述地震后两个城市可能会出现的情况。 Pre-reading 第一步：让同学们想象如果家里发生地震了,应该做些什么? 第二步：分五组分别讨论以下话题: What are the predictions of an earthquake? How to rescue others in a proper way. Do you know the cause of earthquake? How to reduce the damage of an earthquake？ 这些问题的设置目的不在于让学生来准确回答，而是在于给学生一个发散思维的空间，让学生置身于这一单元的主题当中，才更能激发学习兴趣和动机。 第三步：看图描述地震前会出现哪些征兆。(建议教师放映一些有关话题的影像材料，增加学生的感性认识，同时印发一些有关地震的文字资料,在此基础上组织学生进行讨论,他们才会更有话说) 第四步：两人讨论更多关于地震的话题： (1) Have you experienced an earthquake? (2) How much do you know about it? (3) Besides earthquake what other natural disasters do you know? （flood，typhoon，hurricane，cyclone，volcano，sandstorm，landslide） (4) Do you know how to measure the strength of earthquake? （Richter Scale） Workbook P62 （这部分听力材料的内容刚好是针对以上话题的，关于地震产生的原因和影响） 第一步：先让学生猜测练习一中的陈述哪些是正确的，哪些是错误的。 第二步：听第一遍并录音完成练习一。 第三步：听第二遍，完成获取信息题。 Homework: Imagine you are a reporter. Try to report the earthquake on TV. Please write down your report on your exercise books. 第二课时??Reading 第一步：预读，教师事先设计导读性问题，要求学生通过解读标题和插图，阅读文章的开头和结尾，在最短的时间内作答，然后用三两句话概括大意。 Question 1 (can refer to P67 Speaking task ) You are to choose eight things to put into your personal earthquake bag. What are they? Question 2 (the sign before an earthquake) ?Can you describe the pictures in pre-reading in details? Question 3 Do you know anything about Tangshan Earthquake? 第二步：略读，要求学生全文通读，忽略不懂的生词，但是要求分辨出各个段落的大概意思。然后完成课后的第三题。 Main ideas 1. What happened before the earthquake. 2.
