Unit 2 Out of this world
Welcome to the unit & Reading (I)（教學設計）
I. Learning objectives
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. grasp the topic and the general idea of the lesson;
2. understand some important details;
3. form their own opinions based on the text.
II. Key competence focus
1. Apply reading strategies to reading tasks.
2. Get a deep understanding of the reading material.
III. Predicted area of difficulty
Do some inferences based on the reading materials.
IV. Teaching procedures
Step 1 Brainstorming
1. T greets the class.
T: Class begins, boys and girls! Good morning/afternoon!
T: Open your book at page 15. Below the title, there goes Liu Cixin’s saying, “The pursuit of the ultimate truth of the universe is the final objective and destination of civilization.” Below the saying there is a picture. What do you see
T: Yes, it must be our solar system. So the theme of this unit is probably about exploration of the universe.
2. T asks Ss to watch a video and finish the exercises.
T: Now watch a video carefully and fill in the blanks.
T: Let’s check your answers. They are 1961, 1969, 1971, 2000 respectively.
T: The video is about many exciting breakthroughs in the history of space exploration. Watch the video again and answer the three questions.
【設計意圖：由15頁上的名人名言、圖片以及短視頻導入本單元，幫助學生形成本單元的主題概念，在學習一些有關太空知識和表達的同時，激發學生的學習激情。】
Step 2 Warming up before reading
T asks Ss to think about the following questions before reading the lecture transcript.
What famous astronauts do you know about
What do you think astronauts on a space station do every day
【設計意圖：此節為讀前熱身，目的是激活學生有關太空知識的儲備，介紹祖國的太空英雄并增強民族自豪感，為進一步深度閱讀奠定基礎。】
Step 3 Fast reading for the structure of the text
1. T asks Ss to read the whole text quickly and then complete the chart in A1.
2. T asks Ss to answer another question.
T: Let me check how you grasp the main idea of the text. Look at the choices. Which is right
Another proper title of the text is “__________”.
A. Up in the sky B. Daily life in space
C. Hardship and fun D. My dream
【設計意圖：通過完成練習A1幫助學生整體把握課文結構，培養學生快速閱讀以獲取主干信息的能力。最后是過關測試，旨在考查學生對主旨信息的把握。】
Step 4 Reading for the detailed information
1. T asks Ss to answer the questions 1, 2 , 3 & 4 in A2.
T: Let’s go through the questions 1, 2, 3 & 4 in A2. Then read the text again and find out some important detailed information.
2. T asks Ss to answer another question.
T: Let me check how quickly you can find a piece of detailed information in the text.
In the author’s opinion, which is the most dangerous in space
A. Sleeping. B. Conducting experiments.
C. Spacewalking. D. Feeding and drinking.
【設計意圖：通過A2中第1、第2、第3和第4題的練習，促使學生再次深入課文，此項活動旨在幫助學生獲取文章重要的細節信息，培養關注重要細節的習慣。最后是過關測試，旨在考查學生快速捕獵信息的能力。】
Step 5 Reading for inference
1. T asks Ss to answer the question 5 in A2.
T: Let’s go through the question 5 in A2. You can’t find the answer to the question directly in the text. You have to reshape the relevant information in the text and then find the answer.
2. T asks Ss to answer another question.
T: Let me check how you cope with relevant information.
In the second sentence of paragraph 4, what does the word “circumstances” refer to
A. Preparations for a spacewalk.
B. Experiments and equipment.
C. All kinds of activities in space.
D. Performing tasks outside the station.
【設計意圖：通過A2中第5題的練習，促使學生第三次深入課文，并基于課文信息進行推理判斷，以此培養學生重構信息和再生信息的能力。最后是過關測試，旨在考查學生加工處理信息的能力。】
Step 6 Discussing
T asks Ss to discuss the questions in A3.
T: Here are three questions in A3. Discuss them in pairs.
【設計意圖：通過幾個問題的討論幫助學生走出課文，形成自己的觀點和看法。此項活動也有助學生靈活運用語言來表達自己的思想。】
Step 7 Clarifying the referential relationship in the text
1. Understanding the strategies of using pronouns to improve cohesion.
T: We often use pronouns to refer to things, people or ideas that have just been mentioned. It is an effective way to improve the cohesion of our writing.
2. Application of the strategies of using pronouns to improve cohesion.
T: The lecture transcript uses pronouns like “it”, “that”, and “they” to improve cohesion. Find the sentences using these pronouns in the lecture transcript, and then understand what they refer to.
3. T asks Ss to answer another question.
T: Let me check how you master the strategy of using pronouns.
What does “it” refer to in the last sentence of the transcript
A. Fun in leisure time. B. All the hardship in space.
C. Exercising every day. D. Spacewalking.
【設計意圖：本單元提供的一個重要的寫作和閱讀策略是：指代關系，先講基本策略，后利用課文中的句子來運用這個策略。最后一道較難的過關檢測題，測試學生對這個策略的掌握，這一步也有利于學生精準地理解課文。】
V. Homework
1. Write a summary of the text.
2. Choose the best answer.
(1) “My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added, “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”
The word “them” refers to Welty’s ________.
A. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories
(2) Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work, touring the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.
What does the word “This” refer to
A. Visiting Disneyland. B. Wearing attractive clothes.
C. Acting Mickey Mouse. D. Dressing up and walking around.
(3) Despite the celebrations, though, in the US the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow
older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
What does the word “that” refer to
A. Jazz becoming more accessible.
B. The production of jazz growing faster.
C. Jazz being less popular with the young.
