Then practice Exercises 2, 3 &4 on page 42.

Prepare to learn the grammar of the subjunctive mood.

1. To enable the students to use the Subjunctive mood correctly in different situations.

Teaching important and difficult points

To enable the students to use the correct form o f of the subjunctive mood.

Summarizing, comparative method; practicing activities

Teaching procedures:

At first, give the students an example to present what the subjunctive mood is and in what situation we should use the subjunctive mood. Then, show them the sentence structure of the subjunctive mood.

Ask Ss to listen to the following example:

Suppose I’m a basketball fan. Yao Ming is coming here to play a basketball game this evening. But unfortunately, I haven’t’ got a ticket for it. I feel sorry about that and what should I say in this situation? I will say: I wish I watched the basketball game. / If I had got a ticket, I would go to watch the basketball game. Have you ever heard such kind of sentences?

They use subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is used when we want to express a wish, request, recommendation or report of a command. Also the subjunctive mood is used to express something that is contrary to the fact, highly unlikely or doubtful.

We can use the following tow sentence structures to express our regretting.

Now were/ did would/could/should/might +V（原）

Past had done would/could/should/might+have+p.p.

Futrue were /did would/could/should/might +V（原）

now wish would do / could do / were /did

future wish would do/ could do / were / did

3. as if /though + Clause 虚拟 从句动作与主句动作同时发生用过去时

4.It’s (about/high) time +(that)…过去时 /should +V. (Should不可省略)

5.表示要求，命令，建议的虚拟语气 宾语从句。常见动词： 一个坚持，两个命令，三个建议，四个要求。即:1. insist 2. order, command 3. advise, suggest, propose 4. demand , require, request, desire 这些动词后面的宾语从句要使用虚拟语气。即从句中的动词 使用should + 动词原形，或者将should省略。

6.without和but for 构成虚拟. but for(要不是)

If only I knew his name!

If only we had followed your advice!

If only I could see him again!

8. It’s necessary /strange/ natural/ important + that-Clause 从句中的动词要用虚拟，即（should）+动词原形

9. 某些简单句的固定句型：

Heaven help him!

God bless you!

May you succeed!

Long live the People’s Republic of China!

假设条件从句谓语动词发生的时间与主句所假设的谓语动词不一致，这种条件句叫做混合条件句。主句和从句的谓语动词要依照假设的时间而定。(“各归各” 的原则）

If the weather had been finer, the crops would be growing better.

If you had followed the teacher’s advice, you wouldn’t be in the hospital.

2. 虚拟条件句倒装。 条件从句中有should， were， had三个助动词可以把if省略，并将这三个词提至句首。

Ask the students to tell the group members which galleries introduced they prefer in groups of 4.

ⅱ.Ask the Ss to do some listening practice on page7

At first, ask them to listen to the tape for the first time and number the galleries.

Next, listen again and answer the questions.

英语选修6教案 篇3

新目标任务型教学的特色理念：《新目标英语》是以任务为基础的语言教学，在教材的设计上，遵循了自然言语、情境真实性、语言形式为交流功能性服务、层层深入阶梯型发展语言能力、在做中学等最新教学原则和理念，注重引导学生体会文化差异，培养学生自主学习能力，完全符合教育部的《义务教育阶段英语课程标准》的要求。本教材的教学理念：“知识用于行动”，强调“语言应用”，培养“创新、实践能力”，发展“学习策略”。

人教社《新目标英语》教材的几大特色：

A. 图文并茂。一幅副充满情趣，幽默生动的画面，令你眼睛一亮。它不仅版面设计充满新意，而且在内容和结构方面更富有创意 更具时代感，更有现代气息，更加贴近学生的生活。学生一拿到课本后都爱不释手，迫不及待地翻阅。

B. 实用性强。每个单元的选材都来源于学生的学习和生活。紧紧地与学生的年龄特征、认知结构、生活经验联系在一起。如第一册的十四个话题：认识新朋友、教室里的物品、家庭成员、食品、购物、电影、参加社团、生活习惯、学习科目、国家与语言。第二册的十二个话题：邻居、动物、足球、职业、周末活动、音乐、人物性格与外貌、天气、节日、度假与休闲、流行文化、规章制度与日常生活。由于这些都是学生熟悉的话题，生活中经常碰到的事情，所以学生容易接受，学习热情自然也高。使教学活动由“要我学”转变为“我要学”。

C.注重交际。针对中国学生学英语普遍存在的“聋哑病”，教材设计了大量的听说读写材料。每个单元都有语言活动，且内容不同，形式多样，学生对这些活动充满兴趣，所以大家都能情绪高昂地参加pair work, group work, games等活动。学生们充满了自信，开心地练习说英语，教室里常常充满了欢歌笑语。同学们都喜欢上英语课，他们能为学以致用而感到兴奋，同时也体验到了学习语言的快乐。

D.词汇量大。第一册有词汇700个左右，第二册约450个，第三册约450个，第四册约400个， 第五册约500个，合计2500个。这一点正好达到《英语课程标准》5级的要求。大大丰富了学生的词汇量，让学生能更好地表达自己的所思所想。同时也要求学生必须采取有效的记忆单词的方法，就会事半功倍，否则难以适应教材的要求。这时学生特别需要教师的指导 .。

a.言语、情境真实性原则 (The authenticity principle)

任务的设计要提供给学习者明确、真实的语言信息。语言情境、语言形式等要符合交际的功能和规律。使学习者在一种自然、真实或模拟真实的情境中体会语言、掌握语言的应用。

b.形式-功能性原则 (The form-function principle)

任务的设计注重语言形式和语言功能的结合。形式-功能性原则，旨在使学习者掌握语言形式的同时，培养其自我把握语言功能的能力;每一阶段任务的设计都具有一定的导入性，学生在学习语言形式的基础上，通过系列任务的训练，能够自己进行推理和演绎，从而理解语言的功能，并在交际中进行真实运用。

c.阶梯型任务原则 (The task dependency principle)

学习单元中任务的设计由简到繁，由易到难，层层深入，并形成由初级任务到高级任务并由高级任务涵盖初级任务的循环。在语言技能方面，遵循先听、读，后说、写的设计顺序，使教学阶梯式地层层递进。

自始至终引导学生通过完成具体的任务活动来学习语言，让学生为了特定的学习目的去实施特定的语言行动，通过完成特定的交际任务来获得和积累相应的学习经验。

Then practice Exercises 2, 3 &4 on page 42.

Prepare to learn the grammar of the subjunctive mood.

1. To enable the students to use the Subjunctive mood correctly in different situations.

Teaching important and difficult points

To enable the students to use the correct form o f of the subjunctive mood.

Summarizing, comparative method; practicing activities

Teaching procedures:

At first, give the students an example to present what the subjunctive mood is and in what situation we should use the subjunctive mood. Then, show them the sentence structure of the subjunctive mood.

Ask Ss to listen to the following example:

Suppose I’m a basketball fan. Yao Ming is coming here to play a basketball game this evening. But unfortunately, I haven’t’ got a ticket for it. I feel sorry about that and what should I say in this situation? I will say: I wish I watched the basketball game. / If I had got a ticket, I would go to watch the basketball game. Have you ever heard such kind of sentences?

They use subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood is used when we want to express a wish, request, recommendation or report of a command. Also the subjunctive mood is used to express something that is contrary to the fact, highly unlikely or doubtful.

We can use the following tow sentence structures to express our regretting.

Now were/ did would/could/should/might +V（原）

Past had done would/could/should/might+have+p.p.

Futrue were /did would/could/should/might +V（原）

now wish would do / could do / were /did

future wish would do/ could do / were / did

3. as if /though + Clause 虚拟 从句动作与主句动作同时发生用过去时

4.It’s (about/high) time +(that)…过去时 /should +V. (Should不可省略)

5.表示要求，命令，建议的虚拟语气 宾语从句。常见动词： 一个坚持，两个命令，三个建议，四个要求。即:1. insist 2. order, command 3. advise, suggest, propose 4. demand , require, request, desire 这些动词后面的宾语从句要使用虚拟语气。即从句中的动词 使用should + 动词原形，或者将should省略。

6.without和but for 构成虚拟. but for(要不是)

If only I knew his name!

If only we had followed your advice!

If only I could see him again!

8. It’s necessary /strange/ natural/ important + that-Clause 从句中的动词要用虚拟，即（should）+动词原形

9. 某些简单句的固定句型：

Heaven help him!

God bless you!

May you succeed!

Long live the People’s Republic of China!

假设条件从句谓语动词发生的时间与主句所假设的谓语动词不一致，这种条件句叫做混合条件句。主句和从句的谓语动词要依照假设的时间而定。(“各归各” 的原则）

If the weather had been finer, the crops would be growing better.

If you had followed the teacher’s advice, you wouldn’t be in the hospital.

2. 虚拟条件句倒装。 条件从句中有should， were， had三个助动词可以把if省略，并将这三个词提至句首。

Listening practice in student’s book

I The introduction to the poet:

Samuel.Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), English poet, critic, and philosopher (哲学家), who was a leader of the romantic movement. Coleridge was born in Ottery Saint Mary on October21, 1772, the son of a clergyman (牧师). From 1791 until 1794 he attended Jesus College, University of Cambridge, except for a brief period when he was deeply in debt and entered the army. At the university he absorbed political and theological (神学的) ideas and left Cambridge without a degree.

The previous year Coleridge had met and begun what was to be a lifelong friendship with the poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy. The two men published a joint volume of poetry, Lyrical Ballads (抒情诗) in 1798, which became a landmark (里程碑) in English poetry; it contained the first great works of the romantic school (学派) , such as the famous “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”.

II The introduction to the poem:

From the title, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” can be read as a tale of horror in which a mariner is hounded（追逼）by disaster after murdering an albatross (信天翁). In fact, his main theme is that all things that inhabit the natural world have an inherent (内在的) value and beauty, and that it is necessary for humanity to recognize and respect these qualities. “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is an excellent example of Romantic poetry and is often read to understand the characteristics of this poetic genre (流派).

英语选修6教案 篇8

有的学生对小学英语比较重视，学得很好;但有的学生或学校不重视，学得很不好，还有几个甚至完全没有学过。有的学生笔试不错，但语音、语调、书写都有待加强。因此，整个班级的英语水平很不平衡，给日常教学带来诸多的不便，提高了难度。

学生刚刚从小学进入初中，处于一个衔接的阶段，学习任务加重，学习的习惯不是很好，没有形成一定的适合自己的方法，都有待改善。

总之，既要避免好生吃不饱的现象，又要努力把目前英语有欠缺的学生拉上去，激发他们的兴趣和信心，赶上中上的水平学生。在今后的教学中应该注重培养、激发兴趣，教给学生学习的方法，从学生的学习兴趣、学习能力、生活经验和认知水平出发，倡导体验、实践、参与与交流的学习方式和任务型的教学途径，发展学生的综合语言运用能力，使语言的学习过程成为学生形成积极的情感态度、主动思维和大胆实践、提高跨文化意识和形成学生自主学习能力的过程，这是新课标和新目标英语的要求。

The goal:

The goal of Go for it is to make language a step-by-step progression that builds confidence and leads to open-ended activities where students can actively relate learning to their personal lives.

Go For It! 是以《英语课程标准》为依据，以学生的英语语言综合运用能力为目标。不仅以语言知识、语言技能为重点，而且更注重学生的学习策略、情感态度和文化意识。教学内容的处理和取舍灵活开放， 只要教师从学生的实际水平和语言能力出发，任何教学内容的调整或取舍，任何教学步骤的安排都是可行的。“I sometimes go to the last to do the group work first…It depends on the teachers’ knowledge of the students actual language ability…”(David Nunan);提倡教师结合学生实际，充分利用学生、教师本身和环境中一切可以利用的资源，丰富教学内容，创造运用英语的机会，注意多渠道开发教学资源。 “Don’t use just the textbook.

Look at the titles in the text below. Do not read the whole text. Pick out the subject of each paragraph. Use the structures below to make six questions related to the subjects.

What is/ are ________?

What does _________ look like?

What are different parts of ______?

What can ________ be compared to?

How does _______ work?

What are some examples of ________?

1. Skim to find the words and phrases which describe the properties of water in the reading text.

2. Scan to Find out some basic facts about life in the oceans.

Life on earth began in the oceans about three billion years ago;

99% of the living space on earth is in the oceans;

There are about five million (known) species in the oceans;

Life in the oceans ranges from tiny plankton to giant whales.

1． Read the text carefully and find out the detailed information about water properties.

2． Think as many examples as possible to illustrate water properties.

Teaching steps:

T: Yesterday you were required to ask more questions about water’s properties and find out the detailed information about water properties as well. So now let’s have a little quiz about the properties of water.

True of false questions:

1) Water is a liquid at room temperature, and it has a relatively high freezing point.

2) The reason why water can dissolve most substances on earth is that water has high heat capacity.

3) Like all the other substances, water gets smaller (contract) when it freezes.

4) Pure water has a higher freezing point and lighter than salt water.

5) The salinity of the earth’s oceans is about 3.5%.

6) When water freezes, its density increases.

7) Other recourses such as oil, gas, gold etc is as precious as a drop of rain.

1. As we all know, Charles Darwin is famous for his “The Origin of Species”. (According to his theory of evolution)

Qs: 1) Was there any life on the earth billions of years ago?

2) If any, what was the original life like at that time?

3) Where did it live? －In the deep blue seas.

4) How does the world take its shape, which is quite different from what it used to be, especially those various organisms? －Billions of years’ natural selection.

2．It is said that 99% of the living space on earth is in the oceans.

Qs: 1) What does this fact result in? －Marine life is incredibly rich and varied.

2) Can you give some specific numbers or examples?

－There are about five million species in the oceans. They range from the tiniest plants all the way up to giants (e.g. sharks and whales).

3) What does this fact imply? Do you agree?

－Water is an excellent medium for life.

4) Why do you agree that water is an excellent medium for life? (Based on common knowledge)

Water is a liquid at room temperature and has a relatively high freezing point;

All living creatures need food to survive, but on many occasions the nutrients become available to living things only when they are dissolved by water.

3．So we know that one of water’s properties is its dissolvability(溶解性).

Qs: 1) Do you know what gives water such a unique property?

－The chemical structure of water.

2) What does the water molecule look like?

－A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The two hydrogen atoms are bonded to one oxygen atom to form a 'V' shape. The two hydrogen atoms form a polar molecule, that is, one with a slightly positive end and one with a slightly negative end.

3) Can you give some other examples which are also resulted from water’s unique chemical structure?

－Plants can pull water up their roots via a capillary(毛细管) process;

－We can get a lot of nutrients by drinking soup.

That’s water’s another property－dissolvability.

4. Since water is such a universal solvent, it can dissolve just about anything including many gases and solids. As a result, there is sea water.

Qs: 1) Do you know the salinity of the earth’s oceans? －about 3.5%.

2) What does it mean?

3) Have you ever noticed such a phenomenon that in winter water in some containers or small rivers often freezes while that in seas not? Can you explain it?

－The salinity of sea water can affect the freezing point of water. Sea water has a lower a freezing point, so even when the temperature of sea water falls below 0℃, sea water is still liquid.

5. However, no matter whether it is sea water or pure water, “wood floats on water while iron sinks” always works. How do you explain that? What property of water is this?

－If a substance has a lower density than water does, it will float on water; Otherwise, it will sink.

Qs: 1) What is density? And what’s the density of pure water?

－Density is the relationship between mass and volume and is measured in kilos per cubic meter (kg/m3). The density of water is 1,000kg/m3.

2) Does it also go for the phenomenon that Ice looks larger than water of equal mass?

－Yes. Water’s density decreases when it turns to ice, so its volume increases.

3) Does all the water in the same river or ocean have equal density? Tell your reasons.

-No. Changes in salinity and temperature affect water’s density. Cold water of high salinity usually is most dense and will tend to sink to the bottom of the ocean.

6. Qs: 1) What do different densities in the ocean result in?

－Dense water sinks and less dense water is pushed to the surface. Thus water in the ocean is always moving.

2) What phenomena can this result help us explain? Please give examples. (If necessary, give students some hints such as showing a picture etc.)

Ocean motion helps move nutrients around and adds energy to the marine ecosystems.

Different marine creatures live in different levels of the ocean. (Because of the foods they need, sunshine etc.)

7. Read following statement and think what conclusion you can draw? Or what property does it refer to?

It is said that a man of 60kg loses about 1L water through breath and skin evaporation (皮肤蒸发) every day. In other words, 539kcal heat is released in these two ways. If so much heat were kept in human body, it would raise body temperature by 9℃. Can you imagine the result?

－Water has a relatively high heat capacity and can accommodate the climate automatically. It can absorb and release a lot of heat without big changes in its temperature, thus creating a stable environment.

8. Here are some more familiar phenomena.

What property of water is each of them related to?

The coastal areas are often neither too hot nor too cold. (Water’s high heat capacity)

When the sea water in a container is evaporated (蒸发), there will be some salt left. (Dissolvability)

Irrigate in winter can help raise the soil temperature. (Water’s high heat capacity)

People swimming in the Dead Sea float; they can even read a paper while lying on their back in the water. (salinity and density)

1. Try to think as many examples as possible to show that water is made use of to bring benefit to human beings.

Period 3 Post-reading & Listening

Teaching goals:

1. To get students have a better understanding of water.

2. To learn some new words and sentence structures.

Teaching procedures:

I. Better understand the properties of water

1. “Where there is water, there is life!” Can you use some facts to illustrate it?

－Water is a medium for life.

So far as we know, life only exists on earth, because there is water. Etc.

2. Our planet is a water planet of which two thirds of its surface is covered by water. What’s more, our body is also mainly composed of water. Do you know following figures which show how much water there is in parts of our body? 60%, 70%, 82%, 90%

Up to _____ of the human body is water.

______ of the brain is composed of water.

______ blood is made up of water.

The lungs are nearly _____ water.

3. Water is the source of life. That’s why water is an excellent medium for life. And you know all this is because of water’s unique properties.

II. Revision on the properties of water

1. What are the properties of water?

Water is polar.

Water is liquid at room temperature.

Water has a relatively high freezing point.

Water has density 1,000 kg/m3.

Water has high heat capacity.

…

2. What causes water to have such unique properties?

－It’s molecule form / chemical structure.

3. What is water molecule like?

Chemical structure: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Different parts of it: a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end, so it is polar.

The function of it: it causes water to be able to dissolve both solids and gases, and that’s why water can break down nutrients quickly.

4. Do pure water and salt water have the same chemical structure? Does pure water have salinity?

2) What is sea / salt water? － A mixture of pure water, dissolved gases and solids.

3) How does salinity affect water?

4) How does it affect water’s weight and freezing point?

－ The higher salinity water has, the heavier the water is.

The higher salinity is, the lower the freezing point of water is.

5. Salinity also has something to do with the density of water. The higher salinity is, the higher density of water is.

2) How is density measured?

3) Which is denser, water or oil?

4) What will happen when water and oil are in the same container? What does this phenomenon illustrate?

－Oil floats on water. A less dense substance floats on a denser substance.

5) Does water in the same ocean have the same density?

－No. Denser water sinks and pushes less dense water to the surface.

6. That’s why the ocean water will never stop moving. Ocean motion

Qs: 1) What does ocean motion mean?

2) How does ocean motion work?

－Denser water sinks and pushes less dense water to the surface.

Ocean motion helps move nutrients around and adds energy to the marine ecosystems.

3) What causes ocean motion?

－Changes in salinity and temperature.

7. The temperature of the ocean water always keeps steady, making the ocean a safe and comfortable habitat. Do you know why?

－Water has a relatively high heat capacity.

Qs: 1) What is heat capacity?

2) What’s the function of heat capacity?

－It determines how a substance absorbs and releases heat;

It keeps water temperature steady;

It keeps the earth’s temperature steady.

1. There is a close relationship between some properties of water, for example, salinity, density and ocean motion. How do they affect each other?

2. Suppose you are one of the main properties of water (resolvability, salinity, density …). You think you are the most important and have the greatest effect on life. Try to persuade others by describing: 1) What you are.

2) What affects you.

3) What you are made the most of by human beings.

Give a very brief introduction of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and its author Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Here rime is the variant of rhyme.

1. Listen to the story (Part 1) and find the information about it. (When, where, who, what?)

When: 18th century? (No, not mentioned)

What: One of the sailors kills a bird that brings good luck to the ship, by doing which he has brought bad luck and death to the sailors.

2. Listen to part 1 for the second time and finish the following true or false questions.

1) This poem was written by a British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the 1700s.

2) In the poem, one of the sailors kills a fish under the ship.

3) It is believed that the animal he kills is one that brings good luck to the ship.

4) Other sailors are so frightened and angry that they kill the sailor.

5) The sailors are extremely thirsty but they can’t drink the water in the sea, because it is too dirty.

3. Listen to part 1 for the third time and answer the following questions:

1) Who tells the story in the poem?

2) What does one of the sailors do?

3) What do you think will happen next?

4) Why are the other sailors frightened?

1. Preview Integrating Skills “Nature’s Nursery: Estuaries” on page 22

Teaching goals:

1. To get students to know what estuaries are and their functions

2. To learn to write an explanation paragraph

Teaching procedures:

Look at the map of China, answer these questions:

1. Can you name the three cities marked on the map? Where are they? (Chongqing, Shanghai, Dalian )I

2. How much do you know about them? Is the economy there well-developed or not?

3. Which city is the most developed? Why?

Now let’s look at this map and then answer the following questions:

1. Can you tell what map it is? Where is it?

2. Is the water here salty or fresh?

3. What’s the place called where river and the ocean meet?

1) Find out the definition of estuary.

(An estuary is the body of water where a river meets the ocean. Salt water from the ocean and fresh water from the river mix together in an estuary. This mixing of fresh and salt water creates a unique environment filled with life of all kinds---- a zone between the land and sea.)

2) What functions of estuaries have been mentioned in the passage?

(Great places for nature’s young animals clean our water by absorbing nutrients and pollutants from water coming from inland sources; provide both recreation and education for human beings.)

3) Discussion.

What living conditions do you think are needed for nature’s young ones?

Do estuaries have such conditions for them?

What living conditions do you think are needed for nature’s young ones?

Do estuaries have such conditions for them?

3. Scan the passage and answer the following questions.

Why are estuaries such good places for nature’s young ones?

What does “density” mean in this passage?

How do estuaries affect the water that passes through them?

Why are estuaries more sensitive to pollution than other areas?

Why are estuaries important to human beings?

(Answer to question 1) In estuaries, animals can enjoy all the benefits of the oceans without having to face many of its dangers. Tides provide energy for the ecosystems, but estuaries are protected from waves and storms by islands, mud or sand. Nutrients from both the land and the ocean arrive in estuaries.

(Answer to question 2) It means the degree to which an area is filled with things or people.

(Answer to question 3) They absorb nutrients and pollutants from water coming inland sources, thus cleaning our water.

(Answer to question 4) Because estuaries act as filters(过滤器), many pollutants end up in them.

(Answer to question 5) Estuaries provide both recreation and education for human beings. For example, people can fish, swim and have fun on the beach; scientists and students have endless opportunities to study a variety of life in the habitat. Estuaries also contribute to the economy through tourism and fishing.

4. Finish the following passage with words from the text.

Estuaries are bodies of water along coasts that are ________ (形成) when fresh water from rivers ________ with salt water from the ocean. In estuaries, the fresh river water is blocked from streaming into the open ocean by either surrounding mainland, or islands. This mixing of fresh and salt water _______ a unique environment ______ with life of all kinds -- a zone between the land and sea known as an estuary. The estuary gathers and holds a ______ of life--giving nutrients from the land and from the ocean, forming an ecosystem that contains more creatures than any other ________ on the earth. Estuaries are also important for human beings. They protect water quality by ________ pollutants from water coming from inland sources. They are centers for _______(娱乐) and education. Estuaries, in short, are treasures.

(formed, mixes, creates, filled, variety, habitat, absorbing, entertainment)

As we learn from this passage, many cities which are built around estuaries, like Shanghai, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Shenzhen are very developed. Can you explain why?

( They are near Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta…)

(Convenient transportation, rich resources…)

Do you still remember what we learn about the properties of water? In that passage, the writer introduces the chemical structure and several properties of water to us, such as salinity, density, heat capacity. So from this we know when we are explaining what something is or how things happen, it is important that our explanations should be well organized and easy to understand.

If we are describing a process，we’d better explain each step in the order it happens. Tell the readers about the causes and effects and use words like first, second, then, etc to show the order of the steps.

First…

Second…

Third/ Then…

If we are writing about something that has several parts, we should describe each part and explain its function and structure.

The following questions may help:

What is it? How many parts is it made up of?

What’s the structure of each part? How does it work?

Imagine that your science teacher ask you to explain one of the following questions:

Why does an ice cube float?

What will happen to a piece of metal if you put it in water?

Why do so many species live in estuaries?

Why have so many cities been built by estuaries?

Choose one of the questions and write a passage, using what you know about nature and science and what you have learned from this unit.

Teaching aim:

1. Get students to talk about the main use of water in our life and their effects.

2. Draw students’ attention to the importance of using, saving and protecting our water as well.

Teaching procedures:

1) Can you use your own words to tell us the general idea of the two reading passages?

2) What do you learn from our previous classes?

－ Water is necessary / a must to life. Without water, life, as we all know, would not exist.

1) Do you agree with the saying “Without water, life would not exist.”?

2) So not only you and I agree with this opinion, but also the United Nations hold the same view. And that’s why we have World Water Day.

Q: Is there anyone who knows when it is? － Mar. 22

3) Brief background information about World Water Day: World Day for Water is established by the United Nations General Assembly's resolution 47/193 of 22 December 1992. It is a unique occasion to remind everybody that concrete efforts to provide clean drinking water and increase awareness world-wide of the problems and of the solutions, can help make the difference.

4) Last year we witnessed some great disasters such as the typhoon “Yunna” and the tsunami in the India Ocean. What a coincidence that the theme for World Water Day was “Water and Disaster”. World Water Day will be guided by the upcoming water decade's theme “Water for Life”. It will be the starting day for this International Decade for Action, “Water for Life”.

1) To some extent, the existence of World Water Day also implies that human beings cannot live without water. Why? Can you tell how water is being used in our life? Give some examples.

－electricity, agriculture, home use, industry, transport, entertainment, etc.

2) Look at the first picture (“electricity”) in the textbook and talk about it.

The water is being used to generate electricity. Building up behind a high dam, water accumulates potential energy (势能). This is transformed into mechanical energy when the water rushes down. It is a good way to use water because water is renewable green energy. It will never run out if only we use it properly and generating electricity by using water is a better way to protect the environment than others. However, it takes a great sum of money and a long period of time to build a dam and prepare all the required equipment. Since nowadays electricity has already been an indispensable part of our life, most people benefit from using water in this way.

3) Group work. Divide students into several groups with six in each. Each one takes charge of one picture. When discussing each picture, please think about the following questions:

How is water being used?

What property of water enables it to be used in this way?

Why do we use water in this way?

Who benefits from using water in this way?

Is this a good way to use water?

What are some disadvantages of using water in this way?

4) Pair work. Each six-member group can be divided into three smaller ones with two in each. Make a dialogue on the basis of the results about your topics we reach, using following useful expressions:

The water is being used to / for … We should / could …

What will we do if …? If we …, we can …

It would be better to … Can you think of a better way?

1) Just now we’ve talked about six main ways of using water and their disadvantages as well as advantages. Here I have something more for you.

① Read following short passage by yourself.

No matter who we are, where we are, or what we do, we are all dependent on water. It is the source of all life and we need it every day. But with the world's growing population and fast developing economies, the earth's water reserves are drying up fast.

As many as 7 billion people throughout the world could face a water shortage by 2050 if the present situation continues. By then, the global population is expected to reach 9.3 billion. Many big cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin, will suffer severe water shortages.

This alarming situation was shown in a United Nations (UN) report just ahead of World Water Day, which falls on March 22.

② Watch a flash “A prediction for water”

2) Q: What information have you got from the passage and flash?

－Water is very important to each of us. We must try our best to save and protect our precious water; otherwise, we will suffer a lot and even bring disasters upon ourselves.

3) Q: How can we save and protect water in our daily life?

Take home use for example,

Reduce faucet flow. Avoid letting the water run when brushing teeth, washing dishes, and shaving etc.

Reduce shower flow. Install a water-efficient shower head and spend 2 minutes less in the shower.

Replace aging toilets and clothes washers with high efficiency models. Take advantage of City rebates offered for low-flow and Wash Wise models.

Repair leaks. Find and fix faucet and toilet leaks.

Use natural lawn & garden care practices. Dig compost into soil to increase water retention and apply mulch around plants to avoid evaporation.

Reduce outdoor water use. Use a commercial car wash that recycles water. Sweep the driveway instead of hosing it off.

We ourselves should have a strong sense of preserving water and tell others to protect it too.

Start from the little things right under our noses. For example, don’t litter or pour rubbish into rivers at will.

Avoid cutting down trees especially where the source of river lies.

…

4) Enjoy a flash about saving water. For the second time, we may turn off the sound and let students dub it in English if possible.

Read the requirements in Talking (P.96) and finish it in the form of report.

Teaching Goals:

◆ To review Modal verbs.

◆ To make students get more familiar with the Modal and practise using them in different situations.

◆ To enable students to master some new words and expressions.

Teaching Procedures:

We have talked about the properties of water and we know that water can be used in many ways due to these properties. So please answer the following questions.

1) What are these properties of water?

2) Can you give some more examples that show we can benefit from these properties of water?

According to the above discussion, we know that these properties of water are very important and help us a lot. Just because of these properties of water, water can meet people’s needs of living on the earth. We can say that water is the “life food” of the earth. It is a necessity of human beings and all the other living things. However, have you ever imagined the following situations?

3) Without ocean motion, what would the earth be like?

(Without ocean motion, the earth would…)

4) If the density of ice were larger than that of water, what would the seabed be like?

(If the density of ice were larger than that of water, the seabed would…)

5) Suppose water had a much lower freezing point, what would the world be like?

(Suppose water had a much lower freezing point, the world would…)

III. Try to list some modal verbs according to their functions.

IV. More situations given to practice using Modal Verbs.

Situation one:

As many as 7 billion people throughout the world could face a water shortage by 2050 if the present situation continues. By then, the global population is expected to reach 9.3 billion. Many big cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin, will suffer severe water shortages.

1) If it is true, what may happen in the future?

2) What can our country do with this problem?

3) What should we do in our daily life?

Situation two:

Three Gorges Project is the largest water conservancy project ever built in the water. It is said that the whole project will be completed in the year as planned. So try to discuss the following questions:

1) If the project is completed in the year 2009, what advantages will it bring to us?

2) If the project is completed in the year 2009, what problems may it cause? How can we deal with these problems? What should we do to solve these problems?

1. Fill in the blanks with the proper modal verbs.

will would can could must should may might
