Unit3 Travel：Review of Adverbial Clauses 语法衔接活动案例 学案 （学生版）
课题：Review of Adverbial Clauses 课时学习目标：
1. To identify and master the grammatically form and usage of the adverbial clauses learned in junior high school and understand their meanings.
2. To use these adverbial clauses to complete communicative tasks properly and proficiently in the context.
Activity : Talk about a travel experience Step 1:
Directions: Read a passage about an impressive travel experience. Find and underline the adverbial clauses in the passage. Try to tell what kinds of adverbial clauses they are.
Before I started my Xian tour at the end of summer, I had already heard about the fame of Mount Huashan, which is probably steeper than any other mountain in China. Since it was so famous that there were still many tourists in low season, I decided to have a night hiking with my friends, and challenged ourselves by hiking the entire way, dreaming of seeing the cloud sea and the sunrise on the tip of mountain.
Some people say it’s dangerous to hike Mount Hua especially at night. Actually, as long as you obey the safety guideline of the scenic spot and don’t walk alone, you will be fine.
The biggest challenges were thousand steps gorge（峡谷）and hundred steps gorge for their nearly vertical slope and narrow steps. We kept climbing without rest even if we had to climb up the steps with the help of our hands sometimes.
As we were approaching the viewing platform, the sky was starting to get bright. There were two viewing platforms for us to watch the sunrise. The first one we saw was small with poor vision, but fewer tourists. If you were very tired at that time, it was a good choice. We decided to hike to the other platform on the top to enjoy the best scene though the day had dawned unconsciously. Luckily, when we reached the top at 5:50am, the sun hadn’t appeared yet!
After the tough hiking, we finally hurried to the viewing platform and watched the sunrise in time. How spectacular the scene was! We were much moved by the beauty we enjoyed after we had exhausted ourselves.
Night hiking is different from hiking in the day. Though you can't enjoy the view on the way, you will feel your hiking more pure and enjoyable. When concentrating on the steps in front of you and looking at the people who pass or fall behind you, you may gain much thought.
Step 2:
Directions: Answer a question:
Do you think this experience impresses you Why
______________________________________________________________________________
Step 3:
Directions: Tell an impressive travel experience of your own. Use at least three adverbial clauses in your narrative.
If you have difficulty talking about the experience, you can refer to the following questions for help.
1. When and where did you travel
2. What happened in your journey
3. Why do you think the journey impressive / special / unforgettable
Step 4:
Directions: Use the recorder to record what you have said. Play the recorder and take down the adverbial clauses in your narrative.

Enchanting Switzerland
Walking along with my guide, Gundela, through the wine trail, I had to wonder how the Lavaux vinyards（葡萄园）were planted on these steep slopes along Switzerland’s Lake Geneva
（日内瓦湖）.
“(1) we are pretty certain that the Romans planted the first grapes in this
area, our documentation（文件证据）only goes back to the 12th century, when monks settled here and began to cultivate the vineyards. ” Gundela explained as we trekked along the 3-mile walking path through this UNESCO world heritage site（世界遗产地）.
This was the first of many a magical experience during a week’s visit to the Lake Geneva region of Switzerland.
The journey begins
Thanks to the efficient Swiss rail connections and a Swiss Travel Pass, getting there was not
difficult. Within 30 minutes(2) my plane landed in Zurich, I was comfortably seated on an
express train headed to my first destination, the town of Vevey.
(3) I was suffering from my jet lag（飞行时差反应）, I couldn’t resist staring out of
the train window to enjoy endless views. The train ran all around the Lake Geneva and then rolled
past colorful villages and wooden farmhouses (4) it arrived in Vevey, a charming city
located near the lake. After having a delicious dinner and a warm bath in the hotel, I fell asleep soon.
(5) my heart was set on visiting the Alpine regions of Switzerland, I
planned to spend the next two days in the mountains of the Pays-d’Enhaut region, just an hour
away by train. There were so many large panoramic windows in the train (6) passengers
could best enjoy the gorgeous scenery.
The next day included another trek to the top of a mountain that produce all the organic herbs
（香草，药草）for beauty products.(7) strolling through the flowering terraced beds, I was
thrilled to come across an Edelweiss（雪绒花）flower at the edge of a cliff. This Alpine flower is the national flower of Switzerland and only grows in the highest altitudes of the Alps.
(8) the sun set over Lake Geneva, I took the opportunity to ride a Lausanne’s fully
automated metro rail system for quick and comfortable transport to the end station on the lake at Ouchy. As I strolled down the promenade（ 步行大道）, I said my goodbyes to Lake Geneva.
(9) I had the opportunity in the future, I would return soon to this unforgettable Swiss
paradise.
Step 2 : Answer the question: Which part of the journey impresses you most Why
_____________________________________________________________________________
Activity 4: ( Speaking )
Look at the pictures. Choose at least two scenic spots. Use 4-5 sentences to introduce each scenic spot you have chosen from their feature, history, and value. Adverbial clauses should be included in the introduction. It's better to surf the Internet for information beforehand.
For example:
The Louvre museum is one of the most visited museums in the world. It served as a royal residence until Louis XIV moved his court toVersaillesin 1682. It is such a precious museum that countless masterpieces can be found in its 433 rooms. Unless you are a professional, don’t try to visit all rooms. If you want to get quickly to the museum’s top masterpieces, a guided tour is recommended. As long as you are into art, you’ll find your visit worthwhile.
Now it's your turn:Unit3 Travel：Review of Adverbial Clauses 语法衔接活动案例 教学设计
课题：Review of Adverbial Clauses 课型：语法 建议时间：20 分钟
一、活动设计与说明
1. 内容分析
本课的活动内容来自于必修课第一册第三单元的 Adverbial
Clauses(review)，主要是复习初中学习过的状语从句。本课设计内容与本单元主题
Travel 相呼应，围绕谈论旅行经历体会展开，使学生在主题引领下复习初中所学的状语从 句知识，进而迁移应用到高中状语从句学习中来。
本课的活动以讲述旅游经历为主，一是因为学生也会有很多难忘、特别、有意义的旅行 经历和大家分享，开头文章的阅读可以给学生提供学习支架，让学生看看别人的特别的经历 和体验，再说说自己的生动有趣的故事；其次，学生在讲述自己的经历故事时会产生交际需 要，使用到各类状语从句，比如：时间状语从句、原因状语从句、条件状语从句、让步状语 从句、结果状语从句、 目的状语从句等，所以对于目标从句的运用是比较充分的。
此外，本课在活动后还设计了相关练习，并提供了配套的视频材料，让学生通过“听”、 “说”、“读”、“写”、“看”等多种方式复习、复习使用初中学过的状语从句，做好高中学习 的衔接工作。
2. 学情分析
在确定了本课时的课型和课题之后，设计者对于初高中语法项目进行了前期梳理。基于 《上海市初中英语学科教学基本要求》、《义务教育英语课程标准（2011 年版）》、《上海市高 中英语学科教学基本要求》以及《普通高中英语课程标准（2017 年版）》，设计者汇总了上海 学生在初、高中阶段，语法项目（状语从句）的学习内容，学和具体要求。
这些复习巩固的状语从句在初中学习阶段都要求学生理解且应用，因此，本课设计的时 候以语用为主，在识别、复习语法形式、意义的同时，主要引导学生在具体任务中使用各类 状语从句，完成交际目的，实现语法的语用功能。
学生在讲述自己的经历故事时如果觉得表述有困难，可以根据提供的一些问题来考虑如 何进行描述，在此为学生提供了一些脚手架，帮助他们顺利开展思考和讲述。
如果有条件进一步组织班级或小组开展网络交流活动，就能够在同伴合作的活动过程中 更深层地巩固和运用状语从句知识。
Grade Content Level Requirements

3. 设计思路
本语法衔接活动是基于 Grammar in Use 板块的 Adverbial Clauses(review)，主要是 复习初中学习过的状语从句，活动内容围绕本单元主题 Travel 展开。
本活动的设计理念是：通过学生讲述自己特别的印象深刻的旅游经历，回顾复习初中学 过的状语从句。学生可以先在阅读语篇中发现状语从句在讲述经历过程中发挥的作用，然后 尝试把七种状语从句灵活运用于自己的经历讲述过程中去。
本学习活动分为四个部分：
第一步，学生阅读短文，划出文章中的状语从句并说出分别属于哪一类状语从句。完成 后，可以与教师给出的参考答案进行核对。
第二步，学生回答一个问题，体会并归纳阅读文章中作者所提到的旅程的独特之处。
第三步，学生讲述自己独特的旅行经历故事，对于一开始觉得讲述无从入手的同学，教 师可以提几个问题，为学生提供脚手架，引导学生活跃思维，开展思考。
第四步，学生在家可以用录音设备录下自己讲述的内容，然后播放录音，记录出现目标 语法—状语从句的句子。学生观察记录的句子，并进行分类。
后续的选择性活动中，如果教师能组织班级或小组开展网络交流活动的，就可以让学生 得到更多的学习素材，在互相聆听、点评以及参与评选活动过程中巩固状语从句知识。

Activity 2:
Reference
As far asI am concerned, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.
My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. I walk on a grass-covered path along a river or among the hills so that I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. When I travel on foot I get more freedom since I can plan my own schedule. I will not feel satisfied unless I choose my own route and stop where I like. I have the chance to come across new things and local people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus.
When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet. As soon as I grab my backpack, I set off on my pleasant journey.

I'm impressed by the author's coming across the edelweiss. He is so lucky! I only see the flower in the film, "the sound of music", and I eagerly hope I can get the chance to see this flower with my own eyes.
Activity 4:
Reference
The Great Wall came into being after the Qin emperor united the seven kingdoms. It was
originally used as a military defense facility when the ancient Chinese try to block the invaders. Now that it has been regarded as a world cultural heritage, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in China. Before you pay a visit to it, make sure you wear comfortable shoes so that you can have an easy journey.
Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. Although it is an active volcano, it has been
worshiped as a sacred mountain throughout the centuries. Visitors are recommended to take the
13
train between Tokyo and Osaka so that they can get the best view of it. However, during the hot
summer days, it's not easy to get a clear view of it because the clouds and poor visibility often
block the view. As the Mount Fuji is a must see for tourists to Japan, it has become so popular that many people choose to climb it during the workdays.
Eiffel tower is the symbol of Paris. Before the Empire State Building was built, it was the tallest building in the world. As a tourist you can't go to Paris and not see the Eiffel Tower because you can see it from all over the city. Even though Parisians today are proud of it, when it was firstly built, many people disliked the design. Tourist can either take stairs or take elevator to get to the top of the tower. Unless you are an athlete in training, the elevator is recommended.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a bell tower located in the Italian town ofPisa. Though it was
designed to be perfectly vertical, it has leaned almost since the day the tower was built. As soon as the first floor of the building was finished, the tower started to lean. Builders filled the foundation with cement in order that it could slowdown the leaning. Tourists were not allowed to climb the staircase inside the tower until the consolidation work was finished. Now the leaning Tower of
Pisa is open again and it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy.

Sydney Opera House is located on beautiful Sydney Harbor. Since it is in the shape of shells , it

Video clip (script) TRAVEL SONG
I'm in a car
Eyes open wide So many things I see outside
I'm in a car
I'm on my way To a new place Far, far away
Racing cars and busy people
Streets and buildings I've never seen When I travel
There are so manythings I want to see
I'm on a train
Eyes open wide So many things I see outside
I'm on a train I'm on my way To a new place Far, far away
Grazing cows and flying birds
Hills and mountains I've never seen When I travel
There are so manythings I want to see
I'm on a plane Eyes open wide So many things I see outside
I'm on a plane I'm on my way To a new place Far, far away
Floating clouds and mountaintops Lakes and rivers I've never seen
When I travel
There are so many things I want to see

Directions: Read a passage about an impressive travel experience. Find and underline the adverbial clauses in the passage. Try to tell what kinds of adverbial clauses they are.
Before（时间） I started my Xian tour at the end of summer, I had already heard about the fame of Mount Huashan, which is probably steeper than（比较） any other mountain in China. Since（原因）it was so famous that（结果）there were still many tourists in low season,I decided to have a night hiking with my friends, and challenged ourselves by hiking the entire way, dreaming of seeing the cloud sea and the sunrise on the tip of mountain.
Some people say it’s dangerous to hike Mount Hua especially at night. Actually, as long as （条件） you obey the safety guideline of the scenic spot and don’t walk alone, you will be fine.
The biggest challenges were thousand steps gorge（峡谷）and hundred steps gorge for their nearly vertical slope and narrow steps. We kept climbing without rest even if（让步） we had to climb up the steps with the help of our hands sometimes.
As（时间） we were approaching the viewing platform, the sky was starting to get bright. There were two viewing platforms for us to watch the sunrise. The first one we saw was small with poor vision, but fewer tourists. If（条件） you were very tired at that time, it was a good choice. We decided to hike to the other platform on the top to enjoy the best scene though（让步） the day had dawned unconsciously. Luckily, when（时间） we reached the top at 5:50am, the sun hadn’t appeared yet!
After the tough hiking, we finally hurried to the viewing platform and watched the sunrise in time. How spectacular the scene was! We were much moved by the beauty we enjoyed after（时 间） we had exhausted ourselves.
Night hiking is different from hiking in the day. Although（让步） you can't enjoy the view on the way, you will feel your hiking more pure and enjoyable. When concentrating on the steps in front of you and looking at the people who pass or fall behind you, you may gain much thought.

Activity 2: Write a passage concerning the topic: " Whichis your favorite way of travelling during summer vacation, by train, plane or anything else Why " in about 100 words. Try to use adverbial clauses in the passage. ( Writing )
Reference
As far asI am concerned, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.
My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. I walk on a grass-covered path along a river or among the hills so that I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. When I travel on foot I get more freedom since I can plan my own schedule. I will not feel satisfied unless I choose my own route and stop where I like. I have the chance to come across new things and local people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus.
When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet. As soon as I grab my backpack, I set off on my pleasant journey.
Activity 3: ( Reading )
Step 1: Read a passage and fill in the blanks with proper conjunctions
Enchanting Switzerland
Walking along with my guide, Gundela, through the wine trail, I had to wonder how the Lavaux vinyards（葡萄园） were planted on these steep slopes along Switzerland’s Lake Geneva （日内瓦湖）.
“(1) Even though we are pretty certain that the Romans planted the first grapes in this area, our documentation（文件证据） only goes back to the 12th century, when monks settled here and began to cultivate the vineyards. ” Gundela explained as we trekked along the 3-mile walking path through this UNESCO world heritage site（世界遗产地）.
This was the first of many a magical experience during a week’s visit to the Lake Geneva region of Switzerland.
The journey begins
Thanks to the efficient Swiss rail connections and a Swiss Travel Pass, getting there was not difficult. Within 30 minutes(2) after my plane landed in Zurich, I was comfortably seated on an express train headed to my first destination, the town of Vevey.
(3) Although/Though I was suffering from my jet lag（飞行时差反应）, I couldn’t resist staring out of the train window to enjoy endless views. The train ran all around the Lake Geneva and then rolled past colorful villages and wooden farmhouses (4) until it arrived in Vevey, a charming city located near the lake. After having a delicious dinner and a warm bath in the hotel, I fell asleep soon.
(5) Now that my heart was set on visiting the Alpine regions of Switzerland, I planned to spend the next two days in the mountains of the Pays-d’Enhaut region, just an hour away by train. There were so many large panoramic windows in the train (6) that passengers could best enjoy the gorgeous scenery.
The next day included another trek to the top of a mountain that produce all the organic herbs （香草，药草）for beauty products.(7) While/When strolling through the flowering terraced beds, I was thrilled to come across an Edelweiss（雪绒花）flower at the edge of a cliff. This Alpine flower is the national flower of Switzerland and only grows in the highest altitudes of the Alps.
(8) As the sun set over Lake Geneva, I took the opportunity to ride a Lausanne’s fully automated metro rail system for quick and comfortable transport to the end station on the lake at Ouchy. As Istrolled down the promenade（ 步行大道）, I said my goodbyes to Lake Geneva. (9) If I had the opportunity in the future, I would return soon to this unforgettable Swiss paradise.
Step 2 : Answer the question: Which part of the journey impresses you most Why
Reference
I'm impressed by the author's coming across the edelweiss. He is so lucky! I only see the flower in the film, "the sound of music", and I eagerly hope I can get the chance to see this flower with my own eyes.
Activity 4: ( Speaking )
Look at the pictures. Choose at least two scenic spots. Use 4-5 sentences to introduce each scenic spot you have chosen from their feature, history, and value. Adverbial clauses should be included in the introduction. It's better to refer to the Internet for information beforehand.
For example:
The Louvre museum is one of the most visited museums in the world. It served as a royal residence until Louis XIV moved his court toVersaillesin 1682. It is such a precious museum that countless masterpieces can be found in its 433 rooms. Unless you are a professional, don’ttry to visit all rooms. If you want to get quickly to the museum’s top masterpieces, a guided tour is recommended. As long as you are into art, you’ll find your visit worthwhile.
The Great Wall came into being after Emperor Qin united the seven kingdoms. It was originally used as a military defense system when the ancient Chinese tried to block the invaders. Now that it has been regarded as a world cultural heritage, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in
China. Before you pay a visit to it, make sure you wear comfortable shoes so that you can have an easy journey.
Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. Although it is an active volcano, it has been
worshiped as a sacred mountain throughout the centuries. Visitors are recommended to take the train between Tokyo and Osaka so that they can get the best view of it. However, during the hot
summer days, it's not easy to get a clear view of it because the clouds and poor visibility often
block the view. As the Mount Fuji is a must see for tourists to Japan, it has become so popular that many people choose to climb it during the workdays.
Eiffel tower is the symbol of Paris. Before the Empire State Building was built, it was the tallest building in the world. As a tourist you can't goto Paris and not see the Eiffel Tower because you can see it from all over the city. Even though Parisians today are proud of it, when it was firstly built, many people disliked the design. Tourist can either take stairs or take elevator to get to the top of the tower. Unless you are an athlete in training, the elevator is recommended.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a belltower located in the Italian town ofPisa. Though it was
designed to be perfectly vertical, it has leaned almost since the day the tower was built. As soon as the first floor of the building was finished, the tower started to lean. Builders filled the foundation with cement in order that it could slowdown the leaning. Tourists were not allowed to climb the staircase inside the tower until the consolidation work was finished. Now the leaning Tower of
Pisa is open again and it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy.
Sydney Opera House is located on beautiful Sydney Harbor. Since it is in the shape of shells , it
resembles a butterfly when it is lit up during the night. The unique design was put forward by John Utzon in 1950, but it wasn't until he left Australia that his creations were finally brought to life. A variety of performances arepresented in the opera house all year round. If you plan to attend more than one show, be sure to take advantage of the discount. While you are waiting for the show, you will never get bored because a fewrestaurantsand bars on the opera house grounds can help you kill the time.
