III 教材分析與教材重組
1. 教材分析
本單元以Green World 為話題，旨在通過(guò)單元教學(xué)讓學(xué)生初步了解一些植物學(xué)方面的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)，如植物的分類、栽培以及植物學(xué)的發(fā)展歷程等；并能夠運(yùn)用所學(xué)語(yǔ)言知識(shí)對(duì)相關(guān)話題進(jìn)行表述。
1.1 WARMING UP 部分呈現(xiàn)了四種常見花卉的圖片。旨在通過(guò)對(duì)這些圖片的感知，喚醒學(xué)生對(duì)相關(guān)知識(shí)的記憶。
1.2 LISTENING 是關(guān)于綠色植物果實(shí)的分類及其食用（藥用）價(jià)值的一段錄音。 通過(guò)對(duì)這一段錄音的學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)生可以形成對(duì)植物果實(shí)分類知識(shí)的初步了解。
1.3 SPEAKING 部分提供了三個(gè)討論話題。第1個(gè)話題要求學(xué)生按照?qǐng)D片提示描述豆類植物的種植、培育過(guò)程。第2個(gè)話題是第1個(gè)話題的延伸和拓展，學(xué)生通過(guò)討論，可以了解到更多的植物種植、培育過(guò)程，從而形成對(duì)部分植物特性的了解。第3個(gè)話題以生活中“送花”為例，進(jìn)一步訓(xùn)練學(xué)生對(duì)花卉養(yǎng)護(hù)知識(shí)的描述能力。
1.4 PRE-READING 以圖片形式呈現(xiàn)了四種植物果實(shí)形態(tài)。目的在于通過(guò)對(duì)這些植物果實(shí)的感知，讓學(xué)生進(jìn)一步了解植物學(xué)相關(guān)知識(shí)（如植物產(chǎn)地、使用價(jià)值等）。并由此引導(dǎo)出READIGN 部分的中心人物。
1.5 READING介紹了植物學(xué)（正式成為一門科學(xué)）的歷史形成過(guò)程。重點(diǎn)介紹了兩個(gè)為植物學(xué)發(fā)展做出過(guò)卓越貢獻(xiàn)的重要人物林厄尼斯與班克斯。
1.6 POST-READING 部分針對(duì)READING部分的相關(guān)內(nèi)容設(shè)計(jì)了5個(gè)小練習(xí)。第1個(gè)練習(xí)以選擇填空的形式考查學(xué)生對(duì)課文細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容的了解。第2-5小題以問句形式進(jìn)一步考查學(xué)生對(duì)課文重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容的了解。

1.8 INTEGRATING SKILLS分READIGN和WRITING 兩個(gè)部分。READING部分介紹了查爾斯達(dá)爾文、格雷門門德爾、約特杜爾松三個(gè)在植物學(xué)發(fā)展史上作出過(guò)重大貢獻(xiàn)的人物。WRITING 部分以dandelion為例，要求學(xué)生通過(guò)對(duì)圖片的描述了解“物種變異”方面的知識(shí)。另外，課本還提供了可供寫作時(shí)參考的段落提綱。

Step I Revision
T: In the last unit, we’ve learned a lot about Australia. Now who’d like to make a general speech on the country?
S: Let me try. Australia is the only country in the world which covers an entire continent. It is a wealthy country, which produces metals, precious stones, coal, grain, meat and wines, and has the biggest iron mines in the world. Australia has about one-sixth of the world’s sheep and produces almost one-third of its wool. The climate in Australia varies from north to south.
T: Anything else?
S: Modern Australia is made up of six states and two territories. The first Australians were the aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. The two world wars had a strong influence on Australia. The official language is English, which are quite different from British and American English.
Step II Warming Up
T: Good. You really did a great job. Do you know what is the national flower of Australia?
S: Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha)（金合歡，又稱相思樹）.
Show the picture to students.
T: Very good. As shown in the picture, the species is certainly attractive with its showy, large, bright golden flower heads. Now look at the pictures on Page 28 in our textbooks. These are four flowers commonly seen in our daily life. First, match each flower with its correct name, please.
T: There seems no difficulty for you to do this, right? OK, the answer is…
S: ①-rose; ②-tulip; ③-peony; ④-sunflower
T: Well done. Susan, what is your favorite? Why?
S: I love sunflower best of all. There are, I think, three reasons,: first, I love eating the seeds of sunflowers, they are delicious; second, their stems can be used to build fences by farmers; third, sunflower oil is very popular in daily life.
T: Great. Lily, can you tell us something about the other three flowers?
S: OK. Tulips are native to Central and Western Asia, and parts of the Middle East, roughly in the region near Afghanistan. Tulips are mainly used for decoration. Tree peony, the Chinese National Flower, native to China, is called as the "King of flowers", which is widely used in Chinese medicine. Rose is native to Southwest Asia, and it is often used as present with the meaning of “l(fā)ove”. Also, rose flower is a kind of important Chinese medicine.
T: Good. As we all know, flowers are only one of the most important parts of plants. Plants are very important to human beings. They provide us food, medicine, decoration, etc. Without them, our world would be dull, lifeless… And growing plants can be both fun and a useful experience. Do you have such experiences? Do you know how to grow certain plants? And how to take care of them? The pictures on Page 29 is an example of planting soybeans. Now everyone, look at the pictures first, then try to explain the stages of growing soybean and how to take of them by describing each picture, you may write down your ideas on the paper.
Move around the class and check their work. Offer language help if needed.
Step III Speaking about procedures
T: Kate, would you like to show us your ideas?
S: Glad to. First, put some soft soil in the pot or box; second, put the seeds of soybeans on a wet cloth or put them in the water; then, put the seeds into the soil. After several days, the seeds come into bud and out of the soil. Later on, water them every two days till the green leaves grow.
For this step, the teacher can (or ask the students to ) make a short film to present the stages of growing soybeans.
Step IV Discussion
T: Well done, Kate. Soybeans are easy to grow. Now imagine you want to plant something else in your garden plot, work in groups and decide which plants, vegetables or flowers your group would grow, how to plant them, how to take care of them, when to harvest or pick them.
Step V Oral-presentation
Ask several students to show their answers to the class.
Sample answers:
Carrots are loaded with vitamins, and are nutritious. On top of being good for you, carrots taste good, too. So our choice is carrot.
(1) Before planting, work the soil deeply.
(2) Sow them very thinly, about 1/4 inch deep. Cover them with a fine garden soil. Or sprinkle them on top of the soil, and lightly water them into the soil.
(3) Keep carrots well weeded early in the season. They are easily overcrowded, with any competing weeds usually winning out.
(4) Begin to harvest carrots as “baby” size, thinning the row as you harvest. Once you begin picking, you can harvest as needed.
Step VI Talking
T: Really interesting. But how do the plants grow?
Read the instruction on Page 170 in the WORKBOOK to the students, then ask the students to work in pairs to describe “the process of photosynthesis of plants” in their own language.
A description of basic photosynthesis:
Photosynthes is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
Step VII Assignment
T: In this class, we’ve learned a lot about plants and planting. Ask your parents or others to teach you more about planting, if you are interested in. And please do Exercise 3 on Page 30 in the textbooks
