本單元的中心話題是藝術(shù)和建筑。圍繞這一話題，學(xué)生將由此接觸和領(lǐng)略古今中外的一些建筑藝術(shù)風(fēng)格，了解一些著名的建筑藝術(shù)家及其典型的建筑特點，從而擴(kuò)大他們在這一方面知識的理解和掌握，拓寬他們的文化視野，增長見識。通過學(xué)習(xí)，可以幫助學(xué)生了解建筑的文化特色，使他們從建筑中看到世界各地絢麗多彩的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)風(fēng)格和魅力，并可在一定程度上激發(fā)他們的審美能力，鑒賞能力和創(chuàng)造力。單元語言素材涉及傳統(tǒng)建筑、現(xiàn)代建筑、建筑藝術(shù)家高迪、賴特，典型建筑如北京的故宮、奧運(yùn)會場以及由廢棄軍工廠轉(zhuǎn)變而成的７９８工廠等等。本單元的教學(xué)對教師本身的文化修養(yǎng)、知識面等方面有較高要求，需要我們在教與學(xué)的過程中不斷更新知識結(jié)構(gòu)，積累語言素材，拓寬學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)和運(yùn)用英語的渠道。
“熱身”部分首先提供了兩幅圖片，一幅高樓和一幅鄉(xiāng)村民居的圖片，從引導(dǎo)學(xué)生討論喜歡居住的處所入手，通過對于各種不同建筑的談?wù)�，讓學(xué)生說出自己的偏愛，談一談你所喜歡的建筑風(fēng)格，是喜歡傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)格的建筑還是現(xiàn)代風(fēng)格的建筑，從而對于建筑這一話題有一個初步的印象。
“聽力”部分是講述Amy 和Danny為布置新家在商場買家具的對話，主要涉及對不同家具的品味和喜好的談?wù)�，為進(jìn)一步 “談?wù)摬煌埠谩边@個功能項目作好語言鋪墊基礎(chǔ)。聽后課本中設(shè)計了選擇、對錯題及填空題三種形式對聽的效果進(jìn)行檢測。
“說話”部分承接了熱身部分的話題，提供了一個喜歡住現(xiàn)代式公寓還是住傳統(tǒng)四合院的對話范例，在聽錄音熟悉對話的基礎(chǔ)上讓學(xué)生自由討論對不同事物的喜好，進(jìn)一步熟練如何表達(dá)喜好的對話并歸納了一些常用句型。
“讀前”部分提供了四幅現(xiàn)代建筑的圖片，讓學(xué)生對閱讀材料的話題先有個感性認(rèn)識；并對閱讀篇章的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行預(yù)測。閱讀文章通過對現(xiàn)代建筑的不同特點的描述，將古今建筑、中外建筑、純現(xiàn)代建筑與體現(xiàn)自然風(fēng)格的建筑之間進(jìn)行了對比，特別是介紹了世界著名建筑師高迪和賴特及他們的建筑風(fēng)格，使我們更進(jìn)一步了解建筑的無窮魅力。“讀后”部分要求學(xué)生回答問題，檢測對文章的理解程度，同時培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的思辯能力。
“語言學(xué)習(xí)”分詞匯和語法兩部分，學(xué)習(xí)一個重要句型：A is to B what C is to D. ( A nest is to a bird what a house is to a man.) 以及過去分詞作賓補(bǔ)的用法。教材在這一部分中還設(shè)計了一個很好的情景：通過討論房間裝飾的話題來讓學(xué)生熟練運(yùn)用have something done 的句型。
“綜合技能”包括讀、寫兩部分。閱讀部分是一篇介紹７９８工廠由昔日的軍工廠轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榻袢盏奈幕囆g(shù)中心的材料，從古建筑如何重新再利用的角度向?qū)W生進(jìn)一步滲透藝術(shù)和建筑的主題。寫作練習(xí)要求選擇一個建筑物的平面圖，然后對其進(jìn)行詳細(xì)描述，特別是設(shè)想當(dāng)該建筑物已不再作為原來的用途而轉(zhuǎn)作其它之用時，應(yīng)該如何對它充分地加以利用的問題，讓學(xué)生展開想象，寫出再利用的計劃，并談?wù)勏嚓P(guān)的利弊，從而訓(xùn)練學(xué)生在這一方面的寫作能力。
“學(xué)習(xí)建議”部分指導(dǎo)學(xué)生通過報紙、雜志等媒體查找有關(guān)藝術(shù)和建筑話題的素材，如剪切圖片，列表單，查找藝術(shù)展覽的信息等等，提示學(xué)生從日常生活中收集信息，做生活的有心人的意識，明確的指導(dǎo)使得該任務(wù)具有可操作性。
“復(fù)習(xí)要點”部分簡要地總結(jié)了本單元的語法重點--過去分詞作賓補(bǔ)的用法并且涉及了一些基本的句型幫助學(xué)生理解和歸納。同時通過兩個問題引導(dǎo)學(xué)生對本單元所學(xué)的詞匯做一次回顧和小結(jié)。

Period 5: Integrating skills
本教學(xué)安排根據(jù)LARA教學(xué)原則，對教材進(jìn)行大膽的刪除（L - leave out）、修補(bǔ)（A - Amending）、替換（R – Replace）、增添（A – Add）處理，靈活的將教材為我所用。我們根據(jù)單元實際情況對教材的編排順序作了一些調(diào)整，如“熱身”部分呈現(xiàn)了一些不同風(fēng)格的建筑圖片后，在學(xué)生充分發(fā)揮想象的基礎(chǔ)上先引導(dǎo)學(xué)生思考用于描繪建筑物的詞匯，導(dǎo)入本單元的詞匯學(xué)習(xí)，即先處理問題3，再處理問題2。另由于第三部分“speaking” 的對話范例提供的一個喜歡住現(xiàn)代式公寓還是住傳統(tǒng)四合院的話題剛好承接了熱身部分的話題，所以我們在處理的時候把“speaking”和第二部分“Listening”也作了調(diào)整，先討論喜歡住哪里，再轉(zhuǎn)至第二部分喜歡布置什么家具，這樣在內(nèi)容安排上有更好的承接關(guān)系。熱身部分的最后一個問題是查找建筑歷史、著名建筑藝術(shù)家、建筑物的任務(wù)。我們認(rèn)為這個任務(wù)可以作為課前預(yù)習(xí)任務(wù)或課后作業(yè)來布置會更好。
本單元以藝術(shù)建筑話題為核心，基于這一話題組織和安排了一系列的聽、說、讀、寫活動，使學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)英語的過程中培養(yǎng)綜合地運(yùn)用所學(xué)語言的能力。因此，我們在采用話題、功能、結(jié)構(gòu)相結(jié)合的基礎(chǔ)上，設(shè)計了一系列的“任務(wù)型”活動。如讓學(xué)生設(shè)計自己的“夢之家”，設(shè)計自己居室的家具布置，模擬開展“最佳寢室”的活動；并結(jié)合我們學(xué)校即將搬遷新校園的契機(jī)，讓學(xué)生開動腦筋，人人參與，設(shè)計你所希望的新校園的藍(lán)圖，還可增強(qiáng)學(xué)生愛校愛家的主人翁精神；結(jié)合課文最后一部分舊建筑被重新再利用，并要求寫作的任務(wù)，我們設(shè)計了讓學(xué)生討論如何重新再利用老校園的話題，體會做一個建筑師的感覺。我們覺得這些是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的思維能力，創(chuàng)造能力和動手能力的很好的任務(wù)。在設(shè)計的過程中運(yùn)用所學(xué)的知識，學(xué)生必定學(xué)得積極主動并學(xué)有所獲。
分課時教學(xué)設(shè)計教案如下：

Anyway it’s so lovely a house. Should I let it stand empty? No, not a good idea. I want to give it a second life. What shall I do? Please discuss again in groups and this time give me advice on how to deal with the old house.
< Ss discuss and give advice. >

Please follow the tape in a low voice and pay attention to the pronunciation of the new words and phrases which you’re not sure of. At the same time, please try to find out the following new language points in the text and see how much you can understand them in English.
< Show the language points on the screen. >

2. stand
3. with… aid
4. remind … of

Step 6. Retelling
--- Now it’s time for you to read the text by yourselves and try to summarize the text. That is to say, suppose you are a journalist from CCTV 9 and you’ve just paid a visit to the famous Factory 798. Please make a TV program to introduce Factory 798 to our citizens in your own words. I’ll give you three minutes to read through the text by yourselves and get prepared for the retelling, OK?
Step 7. Discussion
--- In almost every city around the world, there are old buildings which are no longer used, such as schools, hospitals, factories or even churches. What do you think people should do with them? Why?
→To pull down the old buildings and set up new modern ones to keep up with the pace of the society.
→New uses should be given to old special buildings. It’s a great way to save the architecture from the past.
Step 8. Writing.
--- Since we all agree that giving the old special buildings new uses is a great way to save the architecture from the past, now it’s time for you to have a practice and show your ability. You know our school is moving to the new campus now and the old campus will be left empty then. Suppose you are young painters, artists, musicians, and you can rent some parts of the school building to practice. How do you want to change the school buildings? What new uses can be given to the old school buildings? Please work in groups and make a plan about it.
Step 9. Homework.
1. Finish the program about Factory 798 as a TV reporter.
2. Finish your plan about how to reuse our old school buildings.
