II．教材分析与教材重组
1. 教材分析
本模块的话题是“Pride and Pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ejudice”，含背景介绍、节选精读、听力拓展、泛读、书评品读、讲故事和写作展示等部分。整个模块内部课题的设计都是围绕作品展开，以活动教学方式为承载，模块课题之间步步为营，具有很强的序列性，为Task最后阶段的书评写作（作品展示）铺设了坚实的基础。整个模块的设计贯穿了以下思想：培养学生的文学作品欣赏能力；阅读文学作品的基本方法和思路；书评的阅读和写作能力。教学设计中因此要体现：语言欣赏、作品赏析、四能（听说读写）结合、批判对比等教学活动。
INTRODUCTION 部分主要是对作品和作者的简要介绍，此部分的背景
信息输入为理解模块话题提供了必要的语言准备，同时也为升华模块话题提供了预备性材料。
READING AND VOCABULARY(1)共设置了7个活动。Introduction主要
讲述了Bennet一家的两个最受欢迎 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的女儿Jane和Mr. Bingley、Elizabeth和Bingley的好朋友Darcy恋爱故事开始的基本背景。两个Extracts分别以舞会相识和达西求婚为场景，以精彩的对白和语言描述简要介绍了小说主题—Pride and Prejudice. 7个活动设计以语言学习和语段理解为目的，帮助学生理解小说的主题和语言特色。
1.3 LANGUAGE IN USE ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )（1）着重学习very, most和in的用法。活动设计寓词法学习于语境中，体现了学为所用的教学思想。
1.4 VOCABULARY ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )AND LISTENING部分以听力输入为主要方式，补充了模块信息。听力训练部分可以提炼为三部分：Pre-listening，while-listening和post listening。Pre-listening（activity 1）是听前准备，主要是对听力材料中词汇的处理;While-listening（activities 2 & 3）设置了回答问题和选词理解两种学习活动；Post-listening（activity 4）是对主题的升华和对听力材料的再加工。
1.5 LANGUAGE IN USE ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )（２）学习had, my 和 will的用法。难点是will这个词，由于其语用范围广, 用法灵活并多涉及到其语气和语境功能，因此需要补充相应的练习来强化will在语境中的理解和运用。
1.6 READING AND VOCAB ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ULARY (2)是对作品主题内容的一个书评。书评的结构分明：分为背景介绍、情节概述、人物性格分析和写作特点分析；书评的语言规范，文字表述干净明了。针对书评所设计的活动，有利于促进学生对书评从结构到语言的整体理解和把握，为学生独立写好书评提供了很好的范本。
1.7 PRESENTATI ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ON SKILLS以学习讲故事为语言训练载体，Activity 1和Activity 2 给出了故事发展和结尾两个支架，分解了训练难度。Activity 3强调了故事情节中的时态运用。活动设计序列性强，相辅相成。Activity 4为两人一组练习讲述故事。
1.8 READING PRACTIC ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )E以Bennet一家的一次家庭讨论会为场景，通过精彩对白展示人物的性格特性。本部分的语言表述细腻，对Mr. Bennet 和Mrs. Bennet的性格表现力极强。另外，Reading后的活动设计有脚手架作用，能为分解和完成阅读任务提供必要的帮助。
1.9 CULTURAL CORNER ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )是文学作品中的诗歌欣赏。诗歌的文字优美，语言浅显易懂，意境同《琵琶行》有相似之处。本课题设计有利于培养学生的文化交际意识，通过文化对比赏析，可促进学生的跨文化理解能力。
1.10 TASK是本模块的最后阶段，为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )写作练习。由于模块任务的前期工作非常到位，作品鉴赏和范本赏读等课题的设计为最后学生形成作品奠定了坚实的基础。
2. 教材重组
2.1 INTRODUCTION是对作者作品 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )特点以及背景信息的介绍，此部分同READING AND VOCABULARY（1）部分具有很大的相关性。INTRODUCTION可以作为Pre-reading的活动设计，结合Reading部分的教学活动可以设计一节文学作品阅读课。
2.2 LANGUAGE IN USE （1）和（2）部分主要强调一些重点词汇的语境运用功能。可以整合这两部分的内容上一节语法课。
2.3 VOCABULARY AND ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) LISTENING是对模块话题的知识补充。PRESENTATION SKILLS是内化Reading知识和技能的支架，同时本部分内容又是学生表达性技能形成的转化阶段，讲故事的表述载体就成为了Task Cycle的半成品。可以整合这两部分内容上一节听说课。
2.4 READING AND VOC ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ABULARY （2）既有利于衔接阅读部分，同时又为后面的书评写作奠定了基础，因此Reading的读前和读后设计很重要，起到了输入技能转向输出技能的中介作用。因此，可以根据这部分内容设计为一节精读课。
2. 5 READING PRACTIC ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )E是阅读拓展部分，语言优美，对白精彩。对白既有幽默风趣的一面，又入木三分地刻画了作品中的人物性格特征。阅读材料内容即是对单元知识的扩充，又是训练学生阅读能力的好材料。因此可以将这部分内容设计一节泛读课。
2.6 CULTURAL CORNER旨在培养学生的跨文化意识和文化理解欣赏能力。因此可以根据本课内容上一节文化欣赏课。
2.7 Workbook的两部分内 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )容是输入性技能向输出型技能的转化，可以整合这两部分内容上一节表达课来合理搭配单元课型结构，并为WRITING的设计做好铺垫。
2.8 TASK是模块任务链的终结性 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )成果，是学生终结性作品的形成阶段，同时也检验和评价单元任务的完成效果。因此可将本部分内容设计为一节写作课。

Step I Warming up
Activity one: Know the major characters of the novel
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
Picture one Picture two Picture three
Show the above pictures.
T: Some people are bor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n with the character of pride, and this kind of character will isolate him/her from other people. As a result, people with the personality will find himself/herself unsociable and lack of communication skills. Prejudice exists in everyone’s heart. If the kind of prejudice is a one-to-one business, it may be melted by communication and understanding. However, if handled improperly, it may cause hatred and gap. Friendship and love comes after the elimination of understanding and change of negative attitude. Based on such an assumption, the author Jane Austen presented to worldwide readers her famous works—Pride and Prejudice. Look at the first picture and tell me who they are.
Ss: They are M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r. Bennet and his five daughters. His five daughters are Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia.
T: Look at the second and the third picture and tell me who they are.
Ss: They are hero Darcy and heroine Elizabeth.

Activity one: Know about Jane Austen and her works
T: Look at activity o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne in INTRODUCTION and try to match the words of box B with the words in box A.

Sample version:
Sa: I find the fir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st sentence funny. Maybe it was the truth in Victoria Era in England in 18th century, but it is not true for people today because nowadays some people prefer to stay single.
Sb: I think the sec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ond sentence tells us a truth. Most of the time when we read the first sentence of a story, we may predict what may happen. From this sentence we can guess Catherine Morland was born in an inferior family and in her childhood she was not prominent and outstanding.

Sample answers:
Sa: I believe description B is correct.
Sb: I prefer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )adventure story because it is full of exciting adventures and experiences. Besides, the plot is always attractive.
Sc: I like roma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce stories. This kind of stories deals with our emotional world and they make people clear about what we think and how we feel.

In what way did Elizabeth want to punish Darcy
According to the dialogue, how did Elizabeth laugh at Darcy
Why did Elizabeth greet Darcy with cold politeness
What prevented Darcy from winning Elizabeth’s heart
Sample answers:
1. Elizabeth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is the heroine of the story and Darcy is the hero of the romance.
Because Elizabeth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )never expected Darcy who she didn’t like would ask her for a dance.
No, he didn’t talk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )much because he was an unsociable and silent person.
Darcy asked Elizabeth to marry him.
Elizabeth didn’t like him and refused him.
She felt surprised and thought it was unbelievable.
She forced him to speak to amuse him.
She laughed at his unsociable and silent character.
Because his insult at her family prejudiced her against him.
His proud and arrogant manners.
Activity two: Detail check
T: Read the passage again and answer the questions in activity 3.
Sample answers:
1. It refers to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fact that the two single men rent a house and came to live in their neighborhood.
Though Darcy is ver ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y proud, at that moment he may want to please Elizabeth and say something that is pleasant.
Yes, she accepted his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )answer, but not to her 100 percent satisfaction.

Activity one: Questions and answers
Ask students to work i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n pairs and discuss the questions in activity 6.
Sample answers:
1. Elizabeth has the Prejudice and Darcy has the Pride.
2. I think sentence ( ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )1) is the beginning of Pride and Prejudice. Because from the introduction we can see: when two single, wealthy young men — Bingley and Darcy rent a house nearly, the whole neighborhood sees it as an opportunity for their daughters to find a rich husband.
3. We can also see Eli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )zabeth is sociable, quick in reaction, talkative and expressive.
He will feel disappointed and leave the room, frustrated.
I think Darcy i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s really very proud. Maybe it is his social background and his unsociable character that make him form such a resistant character.
Their language is very formal.
Activity two: Language feature analysis

Step Ⅲ Presentation
Activity one: Warming up
T: Just now we list ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ened to another extract of the story. Now you have known more about the whole story. And also you’ve been able to predict and develop a story in your own sense. This time please go through extract 1 quickly and predict the sequence of the story.
Sample prediction:
Sa: I think Elizabet ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h doesn’t enjoy dancing with Darcy. Darcy is silent and unsociable. They didn’t talk much when they were dancing.
Sb: I agree wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th Sa. But I think the reason is different. Elizabeth doesn’t like being together with Darcy because she has had the prejudice against Darcy. If her attitude doesn’t change, she will not like Darcy at all.
T: You have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )come to the same conclusion according to different reasons. This proves that you’ve understood the story very well. Now please write down the ending for the story.
Sample endings:
1. The silence conti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nued for a few minutes and Elizabeth found it a pleasure to have mocked at Darcy. Just then, the music stopped and Elizabeth asked Darcy to excuse her and left.
2. Although Elizabe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th forced him to speak, Darcy still kept silent after each mechanic question and answer practice. This made Elizabeth annoyed. She decided to end their partnership as soon as possible.
Ask students to write an ending for extract 2.
Sample endings:
1. After hearing El ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )izabeth’s refusal, Darcy felt very frustrated because he never expected he would be rejected. However, his pride made him not express his disappointment on his face. He left Elizabeth without a word.
2. Elizabeth’s r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )efusal didn’t hurt him at all. He thought he would still have chances to win her heart. However, the defeat really eliminated his pride. He left the room silently.
Activity two: Summarize skills to end a story
T: Just now w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e have learnt how to end a story, what skills do we need to end a story
Sa: First we shou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld predict the sequence of the story in a reasonable way.
Sb: We can write down the reaction of the hero or heroine.
Sc: We can fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )low the clue of the story. It may be the character of hero/heroine or it may be the plot.
T: Good. We should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )find out the main clue and or characters of the story and predict the sequence in a reasonable way. This way we will develop our logic of prediction in a reasonable way.
Show the following.
1. Predict the result in a reasonable way.
2. Pick out the clue ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that threads the whole story such as the characters of the hero and heroine.
3. Write down the reaction of the hero or heroine.
4. Integrate all the factors.
5. Organize the language and write down the ending of the story.
Activity three: Develop a story
T: When we d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )evelop a story, we should use some skills to make your story readable. In extract 2 we can find a lot of expressions about time. These expressions are very useful because they can thread the story logically and make the story readable. Look at the following connectives and learn to use them in your own story. Now pick out the original sentences with the connectives in the sentences and find out their functions in the whole text.
Sample answers:
Sa: The expressions of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) time are used mainly to continue or carry on the topic. They make the story develop continuously.
Sb: “But, unfor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tunately, in spite of” are used to change or convert the topic. Therefore, they are used to make the story full of excitement.
Sample connectives:
1. The doorbell rang ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), and a few minutes later, to her complete astonishment, Elizabeth saw…
2. He sat down for a few minutes, and then getting up…
3. After a silence of several minutes, he came towards her and …
4. Her silence encouraged him to speak and …
5. He spoke well, but unfortunately, he did not…
6. In spite of her powerful dislike for him, Elizabeth…
7. Then, as he continued to insult her family, she began to …
8. When he at last finished speaking, she …
9. Unfortunately, I have no desire to …
10. However, I never meant to do so, and I …
T: Besides conne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ctives, we should also pay attention to use correct tenses to develop a story. The proper use of tenses in the story makes the story develop logically. Therefore we should consider using correct and suitable tenses when we develop a story. When we read the story we find different speeches are used to organize the two extracts. Go through the story again and find out the functions of the two different speeches.
Sample answers:
Sa: In the ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tracts, Elizabeth and Darcy talk a lot when they are dancing. The dialogue（direct speeches） reveals their characters more clearly. In extract 2 there are two scenes which use direct speeches: Darcy asks Elizabeth to marry him, Elizabeth rejects his request. From the dialogue we can see direct speeches make the passage more readable.
Sb: In extract 2 t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he author uses a lot of indirect speeches. I find indirect speeches make the novel more story-like and continuous.
After this, show the following.
Skills to develop a story
Make sure to use connectives when necessary.
Pay attention to the use of different tenses.
Use different kinds of speeches to make your story readable.
Activity five: Start a story

Sample version:
I had always expect ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed that my visit to Mount Tai would be quite an experience. However, my expectation failed because of the bad weather and my illness. (Comparison to open the passage) On arriving at the foot of Mount Tai on May 1st, it began to rain heavily. We had to stay in the hotel waiting until it became sunny. The bad weather continued till the next evening. We were about to celebrate the coming sunny day when I caught a bad cold. I coughed and coughed. I got so sick that I had to be sent to hospital. My illness cast anxiety over the whole family. Besides, my cold also cost our family the whole holiday because it lasted 5 days. When I was getting better in the hospital, we had no time left to climb Mount Tai. Thus we had to leave Mount Tai with regret.

Step I Revision
Greet the students and check the homework.
Activity one: Learn to paraphrase
T: Word guessing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and paraphrasing are very important reading strategies to help us understand reading materials. Now turn to page 8 and look at activity 2. Match the meanings with the words and phrases in the box.
Check the answers by asking some students to read their work.
Activity two: Learn to ask questions
T: In order to ful ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly understand a story, we sometimes need to inquiry and ask questions. Therefore learning to ask questions is another important skill which helps you to understand and comprehend. Now look at activity 4 on page 9. Read the answers to the questions and write the questions.
Ask students to read the answers.
Sample answers:
What’s the story about
Why does she want to marry a rich man
What is Darcy’s character
Why does Elizabeth dislike Darcy and form prejudice against him
What does she say about the characters of the book
What is she famous for
Activity three: Read critically
T: One or two ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) beautiful sentences in an article may decide if the article is worth a read. Now look at the following two sentences and decide in what way the sentences are attractive in catching the readers’ attention.
Show the following.
There are some themes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that readers never grow bored with, and the search for a suitable partner is one of them.
Everyone has their ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )favorite character from fiction and Elizabeth Bennet is mine.
T: The two sentences ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have a similar way of structure. The first part of the two sentences states the common feeling of the people on a certain topic and the second part starts to give the opinion. When we start a topic we can state a fact or truth of common sense. Then you can give your own opinion. This way you can find the sentence very attractive in catching the readers’ attention. Besides a hook, sometimes the writer will give the argument or opinion at the very beginning of each paragraph; you can predict what the paragraph is about before reading. Look at the following two topic sentences and predict what will happen next in the following paragraph.
Show the following.
1. The heroine of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )story is Elizabeth Bennet and as in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she eventually marries, remain separate until the very end of the story.
2. Jane Austen is rightly famous for her style.
Sample prediction:
Sa: The first topic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sentence deals with the two major characters. I guess following the topic sentence the author will tell why they remain separate and how they come into marriage.
Sb: Accordin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g to topic sentence 2, I think the author will talk about Jane Austen’s writing style, including the language feature, characteristics of organization, etc.
T: Great. Predictio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n is very important in reading. Therefore when you are reading learn to recognize and pick out the topic sentences and predict the development of the story in your won sense. This way you will keep interested in the whole process of reading.
Step II Lead-in
T: Look at the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) following comments from readers and answer the questions.
Show the following.
Different comments on Darcy’s real character:
Comment 1:
I hate Mr. D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arcy and I like Bingley because Darcy hides his feeling and appears arrogant and proud. In his bottom of heart, he doesn’t want to show his real love and feeling and pretend to care nothing. This two-sides personality makes him vain and painful.
Comment 2:
I don't thin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k I have ever thought of Darcy as being shy. I love the fact that he is so haughty and proud, it makes it easier to laugh at him. However, I don't think it would be so easy to laugh at a shy person. I laugh heartily at Darcy's expression when Mrs. Bennet tries to get his attention at the Meryton Assembly.(P&P2) The look on his face is priceless. There are plenty of other examples, but this was just a quick thought.
Requirement: These com ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ments are people who have different understanding about Darcy’s character. After reading the two different opinions, you will learn to analyze people’s character in different views.
Questions:
1. From these comme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nts of different people, what do you know about Darcy
2.Besides his flaws, what strong points can you find in Darcy
3. Everyone has his/he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r strong points and weaknesses. How do you comment on Darcy
4. Reflect on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) your own characters, can you find in yourself some characters that you like or dislike
Keys:
Darcy’s doubl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e character makes many people hate him and this isolates himself from others.
Under his flaws, he is quick in mind.
Darcy’s double charact ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er may easily make people form negative opinions towards him. On the other hand, at his bottom of heart he is kind and caring. Otherwise he would not win Elizabeth heart.
Open-minded

Step IV Post-reading
Activity one: Discussion
Ask students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to talk about the topic: At the time of Jane Austen’s time, what is women’s social status like
Show the following.
Clues for discussion:
Can women work outside in Jane’s time
Do women have rights to vote
How do they support themselves
T: After your discussion, write down your conclusion.
Sample version:
At the time, wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )men don’t enjoy equal right as men do and men dominate all the good positions. Economically they are dependent and they have no jobs outside the house. Therefore it is very important for a single woman to marry a wealthy family. This will not only raise their social status, but also they will live a rich life through the latter.

His experience of adventure leaves a remarkable expression on me. He is brave, intelligent and quick in reaction. Under such unfriendly circumstances, he survived and struggled to live a “comfortable” life. From his experience we can see how powerful he is and how a man can conquer nature with determination and belief.

T: Last class you a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re required to write a brief plot of a story, now I will ask one of you to the front to read your work to the class.

Great Expectat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ions, masterpiece of Dickens, is about a man who seeks his bright future and happy marriage. The hero, Pip, who knows that Estella would make him unhappy, continues to pursue her. His mistake lies in his source of great expectation. The language is attractive because the author uses an ironic and funny tone. The remarkable use of setting makes the story readable and impressive. The structure is skillful. The story opens at Christmas time, but not happy at all. Pip’s story begins in terror, guilt and shame, and the settings suggest what life the hero will live. The story ends in the ruined place where Estella and Pip met many years ago, which reveals the expectation is still obscure.

Be ruled, still never.

It’s an unspeakable taste in the heart.

李煜
无言独上西楼，
月如钩。

剪不断，
理还乱，

However many times people persuaded her to believe that Jack is nice, she wouldn’t hear. Actions speak louder than words. Jack’s heroic rescue of a drowning boy convinced her that Jack is brave and kind.
