Step 1 Pre-reading

Several questions: 1. What can we do for the children in poor areas or countries?

2. Have you ever tried to send a gift or something to the children in poor areas or countries? How can you send the gift to them?

Now let’s read the passage”The World’s Most Useful Gift Catalogue”

[設計說明] 通過幾個問題直接引入要學習的內容。由于第一篇課文介紹志愿者在巴布亞新幾內亞共和國部落教書的經(jīng)歷，所以提問What can we do for the children in poor areas or countries?學生可能會回答：teach the children，也可能會出現(xiàn)這樣的答案，如：send some clothes/some money/some gifts to them.這樣教師可以順利地進入下面的問題：How can you send the gift to them?隨后進入課文的閱讀。

Step 2 Reading and speaking

1. Read the passage and answer the following questions:

1)What’s the passage about? (How to send a gift to those who need them.)

2)Where is the list of the gifts? (It is on the left side of the page.)

3)What’s the purpose of the Internet page? (Let people give an unusual gift to the poor.)

4)In the Internet Page, there’s a card on the right.How can you get it?

(When you choose from the catalogue a gift for some of the world’s poorest.)

5)What occasions(場合)can you use the cards for?

(Weddings, births, birthdays, Christmas or anniversaries,etc..)

6)In what kind of order are the gifts listed? (In order of price.)

2. On the Internet page, when you click on each gift, you get a description of that gift. In pairs, write the correct gift(A to U)from the Internet page next to each description below.

1) This gift allows a woman who is a trained tailor to make some income,giving her and her family a better future.(India, Tanzania, Kenya)

2)This gift gives a person the opportunity to acquire basic reading and writing, and life skills. Adults develop the confidence to partcipate in the social, economic and political lives of their communities. (Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Uganda)

3)This gift covers the cost of production and distribution of seedling, as well as training in tree care for the local villagers who are working hard to prevent their land from turning into desert. (Kenya, Tanzania, India)

4)This gift buys a goat. A goat gives milk and is a valuable income. Goats increase in mumber quickly and add much to a family’s food and financial security. They are easy and fun for children to care for. (Nepal, India, Uganda)

5) This gift covers the cost of exercise books and textbooks for community primary schools that operate in poor or remote villages. (Southern Sudan)

6) This gift gives a child a good start in life. Community schools provide good quality education for children who would otherwise have no opportunity to attend school. (Bangladesh, Kenya, Uganda)

(Key: 1.N 2.G 3.A 4.J 5.F 6.I)

[設計說明]作為語言運用部分的閱讀文章，“世界上最有用的禮物清單”通過圖文結合的方式，介紹了一些特殊的禮品，閱讀難度不大。所以只設計了兩個練習來幫助學生理解課文內容。第一個練習是學生快速閱讀后回答問題，第二個練習是仔細閱讀后找出合適的捐贈項目。之后，可以簡單提提文中出現(xiàn)的短語：in need, choose from，及兩個名詞短語sewing machine, trunk library。

Step 3 Writing (p75 in Workbook)

1. Introduce some information about Hope Project

T: In fact, not only in PNG, India, Kenya, but also in China, many children in poor areas still need help. Their parents have no money to afford to keep them at school,although they are so dying for school. In some areas, the classroom are badly-equipped.(Show some pictures to the Ss and then introduce Hope Project.)

2. Shanshan is a 11-year-old girl from Gansu Province whose family cannot afford to keep her at school. You have just decided to sponsor(資助) her. Shanshan loves practising English. Write a short letter to her in English. The following points should be included in your letter.

A writing sample:

Hello Shanshan,

My name is Steve and I’m really pleased that I can help you stay at school.I’ve heard that you love practising English so I’m also practising my English in this letter.

Let me tell you a bit about myself.I’m 16 years old and I go to No.2 Middle School in Bejing. My favourite subjects at school are maths and science. I have a great group of friends that I play soccer with every lunchtime. In my spare time I like going to the movies and reading.

I live with my mum and dad in an apartment on the 15th floor. I have two sets of grandparents. My mum’s parents live far away in Shandong, but I see my othere grandparents often as they live near us.

I’d live to get a letter from you and to learn about your life in Gansu.

Yours sincerely,

Yang Xiaoping

[設計說明] 由捐助說到了中國農(nóng)村很多孩子因貧困無法上學，介紹”希望工程”，再過渡到如果你捐助了一個學生，給她寫封信，介紹你自己的學習和生活情況。信的提綱已經(jīng)給出，這便于學生快速構思，有助于學生在課堂上規(guī)定的時間內完成習作。如果時間不夠，學生僅僅完成初稿，可以把修改和謄抄的工作作為家庭作業(yè)布置下去。
