Ⅲ. 教材分析与教材重组
1. 教材分析
本单元以“Life i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n the future”为中心话题,旨在通过本单元的学习,让学生大胆发挥想象,对人类今后的生活环境,生活方式进行猜测,并在此基础上,对人类的种种活动进行反思,提倡环保生活意识。同时让学生学会过去分词作定语和作状语的不同用法。最后让学生将本单元所讨论的话题和推测手法相结合,学习怎样写report。
1.1 Warming Up 部分利 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )用一个关于“住”和“行”的对比研究表格引导学生回顾过去,认识现在和展望未来。通过这一活动,引发学生对过去,现在和未来的思考,使学生对将要阅读的文章有个知识准备。
1.2 Pre-reading 部分 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )让学生充分运用发散思维,先列举当今世界人类面临的一些突出问题,然后要求学生思考为什么会产生这些问题,这些问题中哪些在未来社会仍然可能存在,哪些将会被克服,哪些将会恶化。为下面的阅读做了铺垫。
1.3 Reading 部分通过 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一封发自未来的电子邮件,讲述了作者Li Qiang怎样安全到达“未来世界”,他对“未来世界”的印象,以及“未来世界”的日常生活方式和交通工具情况。阅读时要把重点放在“未来世界”生活与当今生活的不同点上。
1.4 Comprehending 部 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )分设计了三个教学活动来加深学生对Reading部分的理解。第一个活动要求学生通过阅读找出“未来世界”在以下几个方面的变化:跨时空旅行,交通,住房,城镇环境和空气质量。接着让学生在此基础上得出自己的结论,哪些变化好,哪些变化不好,并说明理由。第二个活动要求学生通过阅读来判断Li Qiang对“未来世界”的态度是乐观的还是悲观的。学生要在文中找出支持自己观点的论据,尽可能说服别人。第三个活动让学生想象一下Li Qiang将会去参加哪些活动。这样既鼓励学生展开丰富的想象,又为Using Language部分的语篇学习做了铺垫。
1.5 Learning abou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t Language部分突出了本单元的一些重点词汇及语法。首先通过完成语篇来考查学生运用本单元词汇的能力,并且通过练习,让学生区分两种动词短语,一种是以动词为中心的词组,另一种是以介词为中心的词组。语法部分要求学生主动找出阅读语篇中的重点结构——过去分词作定语和状语,然后加以应用。
1.6 Using Language ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 部分涵盖了听,说,读,写四项语言基本技能。要求学生通过阅读I HAVE SEEN AMAZING THINGS 一文,对Li Qiang旅行的第三站有个总体的印象,并能找出部分细节知识。
1.7 SUMMING UP 部分归纳了本单元的主要学习内容并让学生自我检测一下学习效果。
1.8 LEARNING TIP 部分告诉学生在讨论时记笔记的好处和方法。
2. 教材重组
2.1 可将Warming Up, Pre-reading, Reading 和 Comprehending 整合在一起上一节精读课。
2.2 Using Lan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )guage 中的reading 和 listening 是 Li Qiang’s travel to the future的延续,可将这两部分及Workbook 中的LISTENING整合起来上一节听力课。
2.3可将Learning abou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t Language 和 Workbook 中的 USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS 及USING STRUCTURES整合起来上一节语法课。
2.4 将 Workbook 中的 R ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )EADING TASK 和 LISTENING TASK 结合起来上一节泛读课,进一步拓展学生的思维和想象力。
2.5 将 Using ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Language中的speaking 和 Workbook中的TALKING 整合在一起上一节口语课,鼓励学生对现在进行反思,对未来进行大胆猜测(make predictions)。
2.6 将Workbook 中的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )SPEAKING TASK 和 WRITING TASK 整合起来上一节写作课,同时对整个单元进行一个小结。

S: Matrix!
T: Yes. Good. Do you think time travel is possible
S: I think it is pos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sible. In the past, people cannot travel to the moon, but now they can. So with the development of science, maybe one day, we can travel to the past or to the future. This is quite possible!

Listen again and check the answers.
How can “Wonderworld” make sure there is enough oxygen
How can “Wonderworld” make sure there is enough water
What is the advantage of living in “Wonderworld”
Do you think people will be healthy living in “Wonderworld” Why
Task 3 Deal with the LISTENING on page 55.
T: There will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be lots of new inventions in the future. Here we’ve got a new kind of quilt. Why is it special Let’s listen to the tape and try to find it out. Meanwhile we should find out where these quilts are suitable to promote.
Play the tape for the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Ss twice. Let them do Exx. 1-3 on page 55 and then check the answers.
