III. 教材分析與教材重組
1．教材分析
本單元以“西進(jìn)運(yùn)動(dòng)”為話題，旨在通過(guò)單元教學(xué)，使學(xué)生了解美國(guó)的西進(jìn)運(yùn)動(dòng)及其所代表的美國(guó)人勇于開(kāi)拓、不畏艱辛的西部精神。并能正確運(yùn)用表示“不屈不撓”及“成功”類(lèi)的交際用語(yǔ)，學(xué)習(xí)相關(guān)語(yǔ)法，同時(shí)擴(kuò)大知識(shí)視野。文章通過(guò)介紹西方的文化歷史，激發(fā)學(xué)生主動(dòng)參與、主動(dòng)探究的求知欲。
1.1 WARMING UP是一份自測(cè)的問(wèn)卷。 通過(guò)自我打分，了解自我評(píng)估結(jié)果，引出本單元主要談?wù)摰脑掝}-perseverance and success，為下一步聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀、寫(xiě)打下基礎(chǔ)。
1.2 LISTENING部分提供一種情景--荒島求生,其練習(xí)的設(shè)計(jì)體現(xiàn)了聽(tīng)力過(guò)程中對(duì)要點(diǎn)與細(xì)節(jié)的理解。通過(guò)聽(tīng)前回答問(wèn)題,幫助學(xué)生提高分析總結(jié)聽(tīng)力內(nèi)容的能力。
1.3 SPEAKING部分要求通過(guò)想象與魯濱遜克魯索遭遇相同的事件,并就如何在荒島上通過(guò)所提供的有限資源自救進(jìn)行表達(dá),從中培養(yǎng)學(xué)生想象的能力。
1.4 PRE-READING是READING的熱身活動(dòng)。要求學(xué)生采用討論交流的方式,了解美國(guó)的歷史,激發(fā)他們對(duì)閱讀主題文章的欲望。
1.5 READING 一文采用敘事的寫(xiě)作手法,介紹了作者一家遷移過(guò)程中所遭受的種種艱辛,進(jìn)而闡明要想成功就需要“不屈不撓”的精神。主題鮮明，容易引起學(xué)生的閱讀興趣和共鳴。
1.6 POST-READING從回答問(wèn)題、概括提煉中心思想和小組討論三個(gè)方面逐步推進(jìn)，激發(fā)學(xué)生的求知欲，并充分利用學(xué)生已有的知識(shí)達(dá)到運(yùn)用英語(yǔ)進(jìn)行交際的能力。
1.7 LANGUAGE STUDY分詞匯和語(yǔ)法兩部分。詞匯學(xué)習(xí)分三個(gè)部分，練習(xí)一是訓(xùn)練學(xué)生對(duì)單詞的理解和用英語(yǔ)解釋英語(yǔ)的能力。練習(xí)二和練習(xí)三訓(xùn)練學(xué)生對(duì)一些重點(diǎn)單詞和短語(yǔ)的理解。語(yǔ)法學(xué)習(xí)是復(fù)習(xí)定語(yǔ)，通過(guò)判斷和填空加以鞏固。
1.8 INTEGRATING SKILLS中的Reading和Writing是一個(gè)整體訓(xùn)練材料。Reading是關(guān)于安克雷奇諾姆狗拉雪橇的由來(lái)，從而延伸了主課文的中心。Writing要求根據(jù)圖片重寫(xiě)這篇文章，使學(xué)生再度加深對(duì)文章內(nèi)容的理解，鍛煉學(xué)生捕捉信息的能力，并提高寫(xiě)作能力。
2．教材重組
2.1 從話題內(nèi)容上分析， WARMING UP與SPEAKING相一致；而從訓(xùn)練目的上分析與Talking比較一致。所以可將WARMING UP， SPEAKING和Workbook中的Talking整合在一起，設(shè)計(jì)成一節(jié)“口語(yǔ)課”。
2.2 將LISTENING和Workbook中的Listening整合在一起，設(shè)計(jì)成一節(jié)“聽(tīng)力課”。
2.3 將PRE-READING，READING和POST-READING三個(gè)活動(dòng)整合一起，上一節(jié)“閱讀課”。
2.4 將INTEGRATING SKILLS中的Reading和Workbook中的Integrating Skills中的Reading整合在一起上一節(jié)“泛讀課”。

Step Ⅰ Revision
T: Good morning / afternoon, boys and girls! Let’s check the assignment for last unit. First, let’s have a dictation.
...
Step Ⅱ Lead-in and Warming up
T: Boys and girls! Look at the two pictures. Do you know who he is?
Ss: No.
T: He is Lance Armstrong. I’ll tell you a story about him.
When Lance Armstrong zipped past this field of sunflowers during the Tour de France, the 27-year-old cyclist already had reason to celebrate. In 1997, doctors diagnosed the Austin, Texas, native with testicular cancer, which had spread to his abdomen, lungs and brain. Armstrong was given only a fifty-fifty chance of survival. He fought those odds with a risky cancer treatment and continued to train between chemotherapy sessions. Armstrong not only beat the cancer, but when he zoomed across the finishing line in Paris on July 25, 2000, out-pacing his closest competitor by seven minutes and 37 seconds, he became only the second American to win cycling’s premier event.
T: What makes him beat the cancer and succeed? I’ll give you two minutes to discuss with your partners.
Two minutes later.
T: What’s your answer?
SA: Perseverance.
T: Good. What kind of person do you think can succeed?
SB: No matter what difficulty he comes into, he always believes that he will succeed and never gives up his goals.
T: Do you know what kind of person you are? Let’s do the quiz below on P46. Read the instruction and then add up your score.
After students finish the quiz.
T: OK, now you may make a self-assessment according to the results on P47. You will know about yourself.
Step Ⅲ Speaking
T: Have you read the book “Robinson Crusoe”? Who wrote “Robinson Crusoe”?
SC: Yes, I have. Daniel Defoe wrote the book “Robinson Crusoe”.
T: Could you tell us the general idea of this book?
SC: Yes. The story starts with Robinson Crusoe’s running away from home. An inexperienced teenager and a young man full of bright fancies about the future, he naturally chooses to go to sea, because in those days it meant a chance to live a chivalrous life, to see the wonders of the world and to make a fortune. After many setbacks and adventures on the sea, he settles down in Brazil as a planter. But the call of the sea is so strong that he soon embarks on another voyage, this time, to Africa. Unfortunately a big storm blows the boat off its course and shipwrecks it near an island.
Of all the ship’s crew Robinson alone escapes to the shore after strenuous efforts. After salvaging from the wrecked ship some stores of necessity such as bread, rice, barley, corns, planks, lead, gunpowder, an axe and two saws, which he later manages to bring to the island with a self-made raft. After several futile attempts to leave the island, Robinson settles himself down to a hard and lonely life. He grows crops, domesticates animals and builds comfortable homes for himself. His life turns better when he saves a young Negro from the hands of savages, whom he names Friday. Robinson teaches him English and educates him in such a way that Friday soon becomes a loyal servant and an indispensable help to him. He struggles to live for 27 years there and finally gets relieved and returns to England.
T: You’ve done a good job. Do you understand what he said?
Ss: Yes.
T: Robinson managed to survive on the island for more than 27 years. Suppose you were cast away on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean, what would you do to survive? Turn to P48, read through the part of Speaking and discuss with your partners. I’ll give you ten minutes to prepare it.
After ten minutes.
T: Have you finished? That must be an unusual experience. What can you do there? Can you make other tools based on the tools and materials you have? What can you make? What spirit you think you should have to overcome all sorts of difficulties? Volunteer?
SD: If I were cast away on a desert island in the Pacific Ocean like Robinson Crusoe, I would not know what to do but feeling sad, sullen, and lonely. Living in a desert, I would miss my parents and friends. But soon I would cheer up and do something to make myself happy. Though I couldn’t make a tool, I could make full use of the things I had. I could not only use axe to chop wood but also go hunting with gun. Wood would be used to warm myself and cook food. The important thing is that I believe as long as I am alive, I’ll have a chance to go back home. I think strong will and never-give-it-up spirit make me overcome all sorts of difficulties.
SE: I wouldn’t know what to do but crying and feeling lonely. I would feel sad for a long time because I would have to do everything myself. If my families lived with me in the island, I think it would be better than living in the city full of pollution. I would use ink and paper to practice painting day by day. If I could return my home, I wished I would become a famous painter. I think hope makes me overcome all sorts of difficulties.
T: Good. We should be optimistic about difficulties and never give up.
Step Ⅳ Talking (P186)
T: Everybody had a dream when he was a child. Could you tell me what your dream was?
SA: I want to be a doctor. I think a doctor is a great person because he can save people’s lives.
SB: I want to be a lawyer. They earn a lot of money, have a high social status and are respected by others.
T: Good. Do you think it is easy to realize your dreams? What obstacles do you think will be on the way? Are you prepared for them? Think about it. Now turn to P186, I’ll give you ten minutes to finish two dialogues with your partners according to Talking and then some of you will be asked to act out your dialogues.
Ten minutes later.
T: Would you like to act out your dialogues?
SC and SD: Yes.
SC: What are going to be when you grow up?
SD: Sorry, I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it. How about you?
SC: I want to become a famous singer.
SD: To be a singer? I don’t know I should congratulate you or not. I think becoming a singer is very difficult.
SC: Yes. Being a singer isn’t easy. However, I am qualified to be a singer, because I sing well and am good at communicating with others. Don’t you think I am an accomplished girl?
SD: I think you are. Although you are pretty good, I think there will be many obstacles. In the first place, you have little experience in singing on stage. In the second place, your parents don’t back up you.
SC: I have enough confidence in overcoming them.
SD: Maybe you can become a successful singer, but you haven’t enough time to take care of your parents and go shopping and so on.
SC: It doesn’t matter. I can get someone to look after them. I think I will be a promising singer because I won the first place in the singing contest in our school last year.
SD: I wish your dream come true.
T: Fantastic. One more dialogue, please?
SE and SF: We’d have a try.
SE: Hello. Fancy meeting you here. Long time no see.
SF: Glad to meet you.
SE: Me too. I’ve heard you want to go to Peking University to study English.
SF: Yes. How do you know?
SE: It is not important. I think your hope is too high. It would be better for you to study in Nankai University. Do you know it needs a lot of money to study in Beijing?
SF: Yes, I know. There will be other obstacles. For example, my parents will not support me and I may get homesick. But I have confidence in overcoming them.
SE: Really? You are always compliant with your parents.
SF: Trust me. I’ll make my parents back up me.
SE: Can you be accustomed to the climate in Beijing?
SF: I think I can. To go to Peking University is my dream when I was a child. If I can not get what I want, I’ll be in despair in the future.
T: Well done.
Step V Homework
T: Find more information about Robinson’s adventure, to see how he survived on the island. You may borrow the novel from library or search on the Internet. So much for today. Bye!
