高中必修三unit4教案
I 教學(xué)內(nèi)容分析
本單元的中心話題是“天文學(xué)”。本單元的兩篇文章都采用了敘述性文體。第一篇閱讀短文按照時(shí)間順序主要敘述了地球上生命的起源和發(fā)展過程。第二篇閱讀短文中作者用第一人稱的口吻講述了他和朋友的登月經(jīng)歷。可以說本單元科學(xué)知識含量較高，更能激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣和好奇心。
Warming Up 部分共有兩個(gè)問題,第一個(gè)問題讓學(xué)生說出八大行星并看圖指出各個(gè)行星的名稱；第二個(gè)問題讓學(xué)生說出自己對天文學(xué)哪些方面感興趣以及天文學(xué)家所關(guān)注的方面。在高考的重壓之下，同學(xué)們都想能利用科學(xué)的學(xué)習(xí)方法做到事半功倍而且很多學(xué)生也一直做著將來能成為科學(xué)家的夢。所以，該話題會讓學(xué)生們興趣盎然，積極思考和討論此方面的內(nèi)容，從而達(dá)到熱身的目的。
Pre-reading 部分也提出了三個(gè)問題，主要是讓學(xué)生區(qū)分宗教信仰、文化傳統(tǒng)和科學(xué)思想之間的不同。可以以講故事的方式讓學(xué)生彼此之間分享一些有關(guān)宇宙和地球起源方面的傳說或故事，這樣既能激活他們的思維也能為閱讀部分打下基礎(chǔ)。
Reading 部分描寫了地球上生命的起源和發(fā)展過程，具體寫了由于水的形成才使得地球上生命的誕生成為可能�？茖W(xué)家認(rèn)為，地球上的生命最初誕生于水中。數(shù)萬年后，陸地上才長出了綠色植物，隨后出現(xiàn)了陸棲動物和水陸兩棲動物。最初的動物靠孵化繁衍后代， 再之后誕生了哺乳動物，人類也隨之誕生了。文章最后講述的現(xiàn)象發(fā)人深省：The earth may become too hot for the lives on it.它關(guān)系到地球上生命的未來。
Comprehending 部分通過五個(gè)練習(xí)題檢測學(xué)生對本文核心內(nèi)容的理解。練習(xí)1是對文章結(jié)構(gòu)的分析以及大意的概括；練習(xí)2通過排序的方式幫助學(xué)生弄清本文的行文線索，也就是地球上生命的起源和發(fā)展歷程；練習(xí)3提出5個(gè)小問題，考查學(xué)生的深層理解和推斷能力；練習(xí)4讓學(xué)生找出文章中出現(xiàn)的連接詞，檢查學(xué)生對文章中句型的熟悉和理解程度，同時(shí)還有助于學(xué)生在寫作方面得到提高；練習(xí)5讓學(xué)生選擇一個(gè)問題進(jìn)行回答并向全班匯報(bào)，開拓學(xué)生的思維并鍛煉他們的語言表達(dá)能力。。
Learning about Language 有詞匯和語法兩部分。第一部分練習(xí)讓學(xué)生學(xué)著去應(yīng)用課文中出現(xiàn)的詞語。第二部分是針對主語從句的練習(xí)，其中第一題要求學(xué)生從課文中找出三個(gè)或更多的主語從句；第二個(gè)練習(xí)以把主語從句改寫成簡單句的形式讓學(xué)生能對此語法有深層的了解。第三個(gè)練習(xí)則以完成句子的方式要求學(xué)生更進(jìn)一步的運(yùn)用復(fù)合句，此部分是對表語從句進(jìn)行練習(xí)。
Using Language包括“聽力”、“閱讀”、“說和寫”三大塊。這三部分的話題都是有關(guān)科學(xué)的。聽力部分主要是介紹三位偉大的科學(xué)家。閱讀部分講了一個(gè)科幻故事。說和寫的中心話題是登月旅行中必需的工具和可能遇到的問題。該部分的設(shè)計(jì)由淺入深，層層遞進(jìn)，既練習(xí)了聽力又豐富了知識，還能夠鍛煉同學(xué)們的想象力，拓展學(xué)生各方面能力。
Summing Up 指導(dǎo)學(xué)生歸納和總結(jié)在本單元學(xué)到的知識——有用詞匯、慣用表達(dá)和語法結(jié)構(gòu)。

IV. 教學(xué)步驟：
Period 1
Warming Up, Listening（Workbook）& Talking (Workbook)
Teaching Goals:
1. To arouse Ss’ interest in the knowledge of astronomy and science。.
2. To develop Ss’ ability in listening and speaking.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1. Leading- in
Give Ss a few minutes to say something about science by asking the following questions.
�。�1.）Who is the first man in space，do you know？
�。�2.）Which spaceship did Yang Liwei take to space？
（3.）Do you want to go to space if you are given a chance?
Step 2. Warming Up
Purpose: To introduce the topic of this unit to Ss in the form of asking questions and discussion.
Ask some Ss the questions first and then get Ss to discuss with each other. If time permits, have one or two groups present their answers to the whole class.
(1) How many subjects are we studying now?
�。�2）Do you have some scientific studying methods to learn them well?
(3) As you see, a large number of students want to become scientists in the future. But what kind of qualities and skills do we need to be real scientists?
Step 3. Talking (Workbook)
1. Divide Ss into six groups, and ask them to talk about the request of Talking on P62 and answer the following questions. Different students will give different answers. Make notes of some valuable information and make a conclusion at last.
(1) What necessary instructions should new space travelers make?
(2) Can you make a list of them?
2. Show Ss some beautiful pictures of the university and say, “Now look at the pictures. How beautiful the Universe is! It is also full of mysteries. Have you ever dreamed of flying to the space like Yang Liwei to unlock the mysteries of the universe? If you could, what things should you pay attention to?”
3. Encourage Ss to give as much information as possible. After the discussion, write down some key words and important expressions on the blackboard to help Ss to have the sense of traveling in space .
Conclusion:
Before making a trip into space, we’d better make full preparations, such as : collecting as much information about the space as possible; checking whether you have got the proper spacesuits or not; making sure of all the safety rules; not leaving the spaceship alone unless the space guide tells you to; paying attention to recording some important time during the space traveling and so on.
Step 3. Listening (Workbook)
Purpose: To develop Ss’ listening ability.
To gain some experience of traveling in space
1. Get Ss to look through the exercises before giving them the listening material. At the same time remind them of the new and key words: astronaut, experience, instruments, pilot, air force, rocket.
2. Ask Ss to look through the questions of the first part and listen to the tape carefully. Play the tape twice. For the first time, just ask Ss to listen for the gist. For the second time, ask Ss to prepare to do the exercises. If time permits, play again in order to give the class a chance to check or complete their exercises.
Period 2 Pre-reading, Reading & Comprehending
Teaching Goals:
1. To enable Ss to better understand the theory about the origin of the universe and life on the earth — the “big band” theory.
2. To enable Ss to concern about the future of life on the earth.
Step 1. Pre-reading
Purpose: To arouse Ss’ interest in learning about some relative information about the universe.
1. Show some pictures to the class and encourage Ss to say some information about how life began on the earth. They can say some relative legends, folk tales or scientific theories about the topic.
The solar system is made up of the sun and the objects that orbit it.
The earth’s atmosphere
For reference:
Some ideas about the beginning of the universe:
● Pan Gu turns into a myriad of (各種) things 盤古化生萬物
● Pan Gu separates the sky from the earth 盤古開天地
● Nu Wa makes men 女媧造人
Conclusion and Leading-in:
But these ideas are all not the correct and scientific ideas. Do you know the scientific idea of the development of the life on the earth? Then we’d better come to the text.
Step 2. Fast reading
Purpose: To get the gist of the passage.
To correctly understand some information given in the text.
1. Ask Ss to read the text quickly and try to get the main idea of the text.
Suggested Answer:
The main idea of the text is the title — How life began on the earth.
2. Ask Ss to work in pairs and discuss the questions of Ex1 on P27. And then let them check the answers in pairs.
Step 3. Intensive reading
Purpose: to get the students to learn the details of the text.
(1) Answer the questions:

Period 3 Learning about Language
Teaching Goals:
1. To get Ss to know how to use new words and phrases.
2. To help Ss to master some new words and expressions.
3. To get Ss to have the knowledge of this grammar point: noun clauses as the subject
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1. Consolidation
Purpose: To consolidate the words and phrases in the text.
1. Ask Ss to work in groups and read the text again, and then finish Ex1 and Ex2 on P28 and check the answers in groups.
2. Ask Ss to keep the words they filled in Ex1 in heart.
3. Ask Ss to finish Ex3 and then let them check each other’s answers.
Step 2. Grammar
Purpose: To get Ss to recognize noun clauses as the subject and to make sure that they can do some simple exercises.
1. Divide Ss into four groups and ask them to finish Ex1 of Discovering Useful Structures on P29. And then let them draw a conclusion about the grammar point. See which group understand it best and have a member of the group present before the class.
2. After the presentation, explain the grammar point for Ss.
3.Let Ss complete Ex2 on page 29 after learning the grammar.
Purpose: To get Ss to understand the usage of noun clauses as the subject.
(1) 主語從句的語序
主語從句要求使用陳述句語序，而非一般疑問句語序。如：
What surprised me most was that the little girl could play the violin so well.
使我感到驚訝的是這個(gè)小女孩的小提琴拉得太好了。
How he was successful is still a puzzle.
他是如何成功的仍然是個(gè)謎。
(2) 連接詞的選用
�、� that和what的選用
that和what都可引導(dǎo)主語從句。what除起連接作用外，還在名詞性從句中充當(dāng)某些成分可作從句的主語、賓語或表語。而that在名詞性從句中不充當(dāng)任何成分，無詞義，只起連接詞作用。如：
What he wants is a book. 他想要的是一本書。
That light travels in straight lines is known to all. 眾所周知，光線沿直線運(yùn)行。
�、� if和whether的'選用
引導(dǎo)主語從句，不能用if，只能用whether。如：
Whether we will hold a party in the open air tomorrow depends on the weather.
我們明天是否在戶外開晚會要看天氣而定。
③ 其它連接代詞和副詞的選用
根據(jù)主語從句的具體意義，正確的選擇who, which, when, where, why, how等連接詞，這些連接詞既有疑問含義，又起連接作用，同時(shí)在從句中充當(dāng)各種成分。如：
When we shall hold our sports meet is not decided.
我們何時(shí)舉行運(yùn)動會還沒有決定。
Who broke the glass yesterday is not clear.
還不清楚昨天誰打破了玻璃。
Which car you will choose to buy makes no difference.
你決定買哪一輛車都不會有任何區(qū)別。
�、躻hatever / whoever的功用
whatever, whoever在主語從句中不含疑問意義。它引導(dǎo)主語從句，并在從句中作主語、賓語、表語等。whatever = anything that; whoever = anyone who。要注意和whatever,whoever引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句的區(qū)別。如：
Whoever breaks the law should be punished. （主語從句）（＝Anyone who breaks the law should be punished. ）
Whoever breaks the law, he should be punished. （讓步狀語從句）（＝No matter who breaks the law, he should be punished.）
(3) it構(gòu)成的主語從句
�、� 由連詞that引導(dǎo)的主語從句，在大多數(shù)情況下會放到句子的后面，而用代詞it作形式主語。如：
It is well-known that the earth moves around the sun.
眾所周知，地球圍繞太陽轉(zhuǎn)。
需要注意的是，it作形式主語代替主語從句時(shí)，要注意和as引導(dǎo)的定語從句的區(qū)別。試比較：
It was reported that the US was under the terrorist attack. （主語從句，有that，無逗號）
As was reported, the US was under the terrorist attack. （定語從句，無that，有逗號）
�、� 常見用it作形式主語的復(fù)合句結(jié)構(gòu)
◆ It is a fact （a good idea / a pity / a shame / no wonder / good news…）that…如：
It’s a pity that you missed the film.
你沒有看那部電影真是太遺憾了。
◆ It is necessary （clear / true / strange/ important /wonderful / possible / likely…）that…
需要注意的是，這類主語從句中，謂語動詞很多為“（should）＋動詞原形”，即要用虛擬語氣。如：
It is necessary that you （should）master the computer.
你很有必要掌握電腦。
It is important that a student learn English well.
學(xué)生學(xué)好英語很重要。
It’s clear that they badly need help.
很明顯，他們急需援助。
It is likely that a hurricane will arrive soon.
颶風(fēng)很可能馬上就要到達(dá)了。
◆ It is reported （well-known / hoped / thought / expected /said /believed/decided /suggested /order-ed…）that…如：

◆ It seems （happened / appears / doesn’t matter / makes no difference / …）that …如：
It seems that they will win the game.
看起來他們好像會贏得這場比賽。
It makes no difference whether he will attend the meeting or not.
他是否會參加會議都無關(guān)緊要
(4) 主語從句不可位于句首的五種情況：
�、� if 引導(dǎo)的主語從句不可居于復(fù)合句句首。
② It is said /reported…結(jié)構(gòu)中的主語從句不可提前。例如：
It is said that President Jiang will visit our school next week. √
That President Jiang will visit our school next week is said. ×
③ It happens/occurs…結(jié)構(gòu)中的主語從句不可提前。例如：
It occurred to him that he failed in the examination. √
That he failed in the examination occurred to him. ×
④ It doesn’t matter how/whether …結(jié)構(gòu)中的主語從句不可提前。例如：
It doesn’t matter whether he is wrong or not. √
Whether he is wrong or not doesn’t matter. ×
�、� 含主語從句的復(fù)合句是疑問句時(shí)，主語從句不可提前。例如：
Is it likely that it will rain in the evening? √
Is that will rain in the evening likely? ×
3. Practice

Period 5 &6 Reading task (Workbook),
Speaking task (Workbook), Listening task (Workbook) & Writing task (Workbook)
Teaching Goals:
1. To enlarge Ss’ vision of space travel
2. To let Ss get more knowledge about science and technology.
3. To improve Ss’ ability in listening and writing.
4. To let Ss know more about space travel.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1. Reading task (Workbook)
1. Fast reading
Ask Ss to read the text quickly and silently and answer the following question
What is the text mainly about?
Suggested Answers:
It is mainly about what happened and what they saw round the “black hole”.
2. Intensive reading
(1) Ask Ss to read the text carefully and explain what the “black hole” is according to the text. Then have them write it down.
(2) Ask Ss to read the form on P67 and which of the old ideas about the “black hole” is wrong.
Suggested Answers:
The fifth old idea is wrong, because objects can be thrown far from the “black hole” by the energy in the “black hole”. Other old ideas are right.
(3) Ask Ss to improve their writings about the “black hole” according to the form on P67 and choose some Ss to read old their writings.
Step 2. Speaking task (Workbook)
1. Divide Ss into three groups and ask each group to think of a question which they want to ask Li Yanping most. Then write the three questions three groups have presented on the blackboard.
Possible questions:
Can we see “black holes” with our eyes?
If you can't see a "black hole", how did you know you had got close to it?
Have our scientists found out whether "black holes" will do harm to the human beings or not?
What will happened if we get close to a “black hole”?
What was the most unexpected thing you found out about “black holes”?
What was the most frightening thing that happened to you on this journey?
Possible answers:
No, we can't.
You only know you are close to a black hole by seeing things disappear into what appears to be an empty space. The black hole can't be seen.
So far we haven't found out they can cause damage to the earth or human beings.
All objects must go into the "black hole" when they are caught by its gravity.
The most unexpected thing is that the "black holes" threw out material as well as swallowing objects.
