Teaching Plan for Senior Two

Unit One Making a difference

The First Period

Teaching Aims:

1.Learn and master the following words:

Inspiration, perspiration, undertake, analysis, obvious, within, quote

2.Talk about science and scientists.

3.Listen to the description of some scientists.

4.Do some speaking, describing people and debating.

Teaching Important Points:

3.Individual, pair or group work to make every student work in class.

Teaching Procedures:

Step I Warming up

1.T: There are many outstanding scientists in the world, who made great contributions to society and science. Now look at the pictures on page 1, tell me what are these scientists famous for?

(Bb) Scientists Contributions

Maria Curie Radium /Polonium

Albert Einstein The Theory of Relativity

…

2.T: Well done. I think you are all interested in science and scientists. What do you think makes a successful scientist? Have a discussion in pairs or groups of four. Then report the results of your discussion.

(It is the way he uses his tools that makes a successful scientist.

A successful scientist must have much imagination and intelligence and he must be creative and hard-working.

Asuccessful scientist must be confident, curious and careful. But what I like to know is what made him/her interested in science…)

T: Now look at the quotes on page 1.do you know what they mean? And do you agree?

天才就是百分之九十九的汗水加上百分之一的靈感。

想象力比知識更重要。

生活中沒有什么可怕的東西，只有需要理解的東西。

分析明顯存在的事物需要非凡的頭腦。

你不可能把一切教給一個人，你只能幫助他在他自己的認知范圍內去發現和了解事物。

T: Do you know any other quotes about science and thinking?

Wisdom is only found in truth. -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Knowledge is power. –Francis Bacon.

Step II Listening

T: OK. Now lets do some listening practice on P2. We are going to listen to the descriptions of some famous scientists. Read the requirements by yourselves quickly. Listen to the tape for the first time to get a general idea, and then try to finish the exx.

Step III Speaking

T: Now let’s look at the speaking part on P2. Work in groups of five. Each group member represents a branch of science, eg biology, maths, chemistry, physics, computer science. You are going to debate each other to see which branch of science is the most important and useful for society. First you should decide who will represent each branch and then prepare your role card to debate. You can use the expressions.

2. It took a lot of time to finish the report .

3. Please give the boy sth to play with .

4. He went home to see his sick mother .

5. Her wish is to become a pop singer .

T: Tell me the function of the underlined part in each sentence.

S: No.1 is used as the object.

S: No.2 is used as the subject. It is more usual to use formal subject “it” and the infinitive phrase is usually placed at the end of the sentence, that is “it is…to do sth.”.

S: No.3 is used as the attribute.

S: No.4 is used as the adverbial for purpose.

S: No.5 is used as the predicative.

S: Subject:(8)

Attribute(2)(3)

Object(1)(9)

Adverbial(4)(5)(6)(7)(10)

Step IV Practice

T: Now let’s do some exercises on P6, Ex2 and Ex3.Rewrite the sentences with “to be done” or “to have been done”.

He wanted the nurses to take care of the patient.

-He wanted the patient to be taken care of.

Because “the patient” is the logical object of “take care of”, the passive infinitive should be used in the second sentence.

The car was reported to have been stolen.

But when the action expressed by the Infinitive happens before the predicate, the perfect infinitive should be used.

Step 2: Warming up

Please open the book at page 9. Look at the pictures and discuss the following questions in pairs:

1. Which of the news media above is the most reliable? Why?

2. How are the media above different from each other?

3. How do you know whether what you hear, see and read is true?

4. Do you know how a newspaper is made?

(Background information:

新聞媒介的基本類型和特點各是什么？

六種主要的大眾傳媒：口語、書籍、報紙、廣播、電視、互聯網。

1.報紙。便于保存和檢索；新聞性較強；讀者可以反復閱讀，認真思考。但是，它受讀者文化程度的限制，發行需要一定的時間。

2.新聞雜志，是以傳播和解釋國內外重大新聞為主要內容的一種雜志，由于出版周期不同，分為周刊、半月刊和月刊等。周刊因為比較符合人們的工作節奏和生活習性，時效性較半月刊和月刊強，所以在世界新聞雜志中占據絕大多數，我國也一樣。相對于報紙等其他新聞媒介而言，新聞雜志表現新聞的方式更多的是提供新聞的背景資料（有時提供背景材料比新聞事件本身更重要），并且以此說明新聞的發生對現在以及將來的影響。也就是說，它不是像其他新聞媒介那樣著重報道動態新聞，而是對新聞事件進行有縱深、有廣度、有背景、有分析、有評論的深層報道。從事新聞雜志工作的業內人士也常說：新聞雜志與報紙相比的一個優勢是"后發制人"，這種后發制人意味著它的大量的報道必須具有深刻性或者深入性，如同當各種媒介以它們各自的特點關注著露出海面的冰山一角時，新聞雜志則把目光更多地投入到了海面以下那巨大的山體。

3.廣播。比報紙具有感染力；不受文化程度限制；傳播迅速。但是，其保留性差；無法對文字進行深度開掘。

4.電視。有感染力和說服力；不受文化程度限制；傳播迅速。但是，其保留性差。

5.網絡“第四大眾傳媒”

公認的大眾傳媒主要包括報紙、廣播、雜志、書籍和電影等六大媒介。隨著數字化技術的發展，電腦硬件的更新換代，互聯網技術迅速普及和網站的大量建立，互聯網正成為一種新的媒體廣泛進入人們的生活。如今，國際上已把互聯網納入六大媒介中，并將其稱為繼報紙、廣播、電視之后的“第四大眾傳媒”。這說明，人們已經認同了互聯網的作用，能夠同報紙、廣播、電視等新聞媒介一樣，廣泛地傳遞新聞信息。

　　依托于互聯網進行的新聞傳播活動，具備了其許多的優勢，這主要表現在：

（1）．包容了傳統傳播媒介的所有信息形式，整合了文字、聲音、圖象等多種傳播的方式，實現了真正意義上的“多媒體”。

（2）．傳播質量得以提升，受干擾程度降低，接收效果的物質實體有了保證。

（3）．能夠以不同的方式和手段，靈活的報道同一事件，不致使人產生疲勞感和厭煩。

此外，就網絡新聞本身而言，除了具備了網絡所共有的優勢之外，它還具有時效性強、容量大、速度快、超地域、超鏈接、可檢索等特點，這些都猛烈的沖擊著傳統的新聞出版方式乃至整個新聞出版產業。)

Step 2: Listening(SB page 10)

T: Now let’s come to the listening. We are going to listen to two parts of conversations.The first part is an interview; the second part is a dialogue. Listen carefully to what is said in each part. I’ll play the tape twice. (after listening) Please work in pairs to talk about the questions in Exercises 2, 3,4.
