Unit1 Madame Curie Lesson 1
教学设计
Step 1 Check the pronunciation of the new words in Unit 1
Ask one or two students to read aloud the new words one by one, correct their
pronunciation and then ask all the students to read aloud after the teacher (twice
for each word).
Step 2 Dialogue
Tell the students "Now , we are going to listen to a dialogue about a medical
conference. Here are two questions for you to think about while you are listening.
I'll play the tape twice and you are supposed to give the answers and the key
words that support your answers."
Tell the students the two questions and write them on the blackboard if necessary.
Questions: 1. Is it a good conference this year? (No.)
2. What is it like? (Very disappointing; not as good as last year's.)
I. Listening (twice)
Play the tape for the students to listen to. Try asking them to answer the two
questions at the end of the first time. If most of them can answer the questions
properly, you can let the students repeat the dialogue sentence by sentence at the
second time.
II. Answering questions
III. Go through the dialogue
Ask the students to underline the expressions of certainty and uncertainty, write
them on the blackboard or display them on the screen. Ask,
"What do you think the function of these expressions? And when shall we use
them?"
"Is there any difference?"
The students will definitely say "Yes". Encourage them to tell which expressions
show certainty and which show uncertainty. Then ask,
"Can you give some more such similar expressions to express certainty and
uncertainty?"
Put down what the students say or remind them to remember some and put them
down on the blackboard. The students should copy the in their textbooks.
a.the expressions of certainty:
I'm sure…
The expressions of uncertainty:
I'm not sure
I doubt if…
Perhaps…
Maybe…
b. How did you find the talk this morning?
How did you like ? / What did you think of ? / What was the talk like…?
IV. Practice (group work)
Let the students practice the dialogue in groups of two or four while the teacher
walks among the students in case there are some questions and problems to
answer and settle.
Step3 Practice (Part 2 &3 on Page 1)
These two exercises are easy enough for the students to finish in a short time. The
teacher should remind and encourage them to make as many proper sentences as
possible. e.g.
1 (I'm sure) +a/b/c/d/e/f/g
Step 4 Workbook (Ex.3, Page 73)
Homework:
1. Ex,2, P73
2. Learn the dialogue in Lesson 1 by heart.
(For some students whose English is really poor, maybe reading fluently is enough.)
