Unit 4 Lesson 3 Virtual Reality
Analysis of the textThis lesson is about virtual reality. By studying of this lesson, we’ll enable the students to know the serious attitude towards scientific progress and develop an interest in technology. This lesson plays an important role in the English learning and teaching in this unit, as it is the main passage in this unit which outlines the theme of this unit. If the students can learn it well, it will be helpful to make them learn the rest of this unit. This text is a dialogue between two students, Tom and Cathy, talking about virtual reality. Because they are future of the world and thus they surely will show a greater interest in the topic, I have an intention to give my students a chance to present the class on their own.Analysis of the studentsIn this period, students have cultivated various interests, including reading books about literature or scientific researches. Besides, they have commanded a number of words and expressions and show interests in learning English. Through the introduction of virtual reality, their reading interests can be motivated. And as we all know, reading belongs to the input during the process of language learning. The input has great effect on output, such as speaking and writing. Hence it is beneficial for students’ speaking and writing abilities.
Teaching ObjectivesKnowledge Objectives1. Students would be able to get the general meaning of the passage.2. Students would be curious about virtual reality and study hard to get more information about it.Ability Objectives1. To develop reading strategies for digging up some specific information from the reading text.2. To enable students to know the basic steps of reading and put it into use in the following study.3. To enable students to talk about virtual reality by discussing, interviewing or debating. Emotion Objectives1. To develop scientific consciousness by the introduction of virtual reality.
2. To inspire students’ independence and imagination;
3. To motivate students’ caring for the future of the world;
4. To cultivate students’ ability of organization and the sense of cooperation.
Teaching important points1. Help the students to understand the passage better, identify different kinds of virtual reality and talk about its applications. 2. Help the students to understand the details of the text and get students to learn different reading skills.Teaching difficult points1. How to help the students improve their reading ability and understand the passage better.
Teaching Methods(1) Task-based language teaching A task resembles activities which our students or other people carry out in everyday life. Learners should be given opportunities to reflect on what they have learned and how well they are doing.(2) Communicative language teaching Language is used for communication. It’s learner-centered and emphasizes on communications and real-life situation. (3) Computer assisted language teachingLanguage learning needs a context, which can help the learners to understand the language and then can produce comprehensible output, so computer has the advantages to make the materials attractive. Learning MethodsAlthough the students have the basic abilities of learning, speaking, reading and writing, they still need many opportunities to practice what they have learned and to develop their autonomous learning ability and cooperative learning ability. As students are poor in cooperative learning skill, many students are not active in class, and even some of them don’t like English. Therefore, I’ll have students study in a relaxed atmosphere. The learning process of students is from seeing, thinking, saying. So after feeling and understanding the content of the lesson, I will let the students get the knowledge actively by cooperative study. In a word, I will:1. Let the students pass observation-imitation practice to study language;2. Teach the students how to master dialogues and how to communicate with others.

Teaching Procedures Objectives
Step One: Warm-up1. Welcome to the future world. And let the students imagine the life in 3000.2. Make a survey. (1) How many of you have ever experienced shopping on the internet (2) Do you like online games Conclusion: Virtual reality has already been a part of our daily lives.3. The definition of virtual reality.The use of computers with sounds and pictures that make you feel as if you are in a real situation. “Interest is the best teacher”, therefore, at the very beginning of the class, I should spark students’ mind to focus on the central topic “virtual reality”. I will ask students some questions. After answering the questions, the students will be eager to know something about the passage, and this is the very time to naturally lead the class into step two.
Step Two: Pre-reading Free Talk: You have two choices which one do you prefer A. You can go to California and attend Stanford – a world famous university this fall.B. You can take courses on line of Stanford at home and get a degree. Through discussions on several questions, this part will center on the introduction of the lesson and show students some basic knowledge about the topic.
Step Three: While-readingIn this step, skimming, scanning and intensive reading are included in order to improve students’ reading skills. I will use task-based teaching method, which can give students a clear and specific purpose while skimming and scanning the passage.Task One: SkimmingListen to the tapes and pick out which one was talked in the passage.Virtual reality holidaysVirtual reality computer gamesHow many virtual reality situations are mentioned in the dialogue ThreeWhat are they virtual museum; virtual holiday; virtual university.Task Two: ScanningRead the passage quickly and divide it into 3 parts.Para. 1-3: Plans about the weekendPara. 4-12: Virtual reality holidaysPara. 13-14: More virtual reality activitiesFill in the blanks according to Lesson 3. TopicTomCathyThings to do this weekend If it is fine， he will probably go (1) camping . If it (2) rains, he will probably stay (3) home. She will finish her (4) project on the (5) history of the Internet. TopicTomCathyFeelings about virtual reality He finds it (6) hard/difficult to imagine. She feels (7) excited just thinking about virtual reality. Interest in virtual reality He is interested in virtual (8)universities . She(9) takes interest in virtual reality(10) holidays. Task Three: Intensive ReadingRead the whole passage and do the judgment with T (true) or F (false).(1) Tom will have a virtual holiday this weekend. (2) Tom is more interested in virtual universities than virtual reality holidays.(3) Virtual reality holidays take less time than real holidays.(4) Cathy will be able to find much good information if she goes into the History Museum website. (5) In the future, people will be able to go to any places they like with modern technology.F T T F TFill in the blanks according to Lesson 3.Virtual Reality now: Tom’s plan---to go camping with his parents if the weather is goodCathy’s plan---to finish the project on the history of the Internet future: Virtual university education---studying in famous universities without going out of our roomsVirtual reality holidays---going to any place we like without the problems of weather, time, and the means of transportation The students will be asked to just listen to the passage once, and then guess what is read in the text. They will be asked to find out the main idea of the passage. The purpose of this task is to develop students’ reading skill by making prediction and encourage students to express their thoughts in English.Cooperative learning can raise students’ interest and create an atmosphere of achievement. Based on this theory, I will divide the class into four groups, let them skim the whole text and discuss the main idea of each paragraph with other group members. Then choose a reporter to share their opinions with the whole class.Intensive reading is also called depth reading. It means reading for detailed information. The purpose of intensive reading is to get the correct and useful information. Students should not only have a high speed of reading, but also have a correct understanding of details.
Step Four: Summary Tom and Cathy are talking about their plans for this weekend. Cathy will be (1) this weekend because she must finish her (2) on the history of the Internet for next Monday’s lesson. And Tom will probably (3) camping，but it (4) on the weather. If it rains，he will stay at home and help Cathy with her project. Cathy is very thankful to his (5) . And she hopes he can give her some (6) about books on the project， and then she will look for them in the library. Tom (7) she use the library computer to look for information. He will (8) her the website address when he (9) home. Cathy (10) that they would not only be able to travel around the world，(11) go to study in any world famous universities (12) they wanted to go if they had virtual reality holidays.Language Points have problems with (L19): have trouble with sth./ in what’s more (L20): besides doing sth. destination (L22) : the place one wants to go to in the flesh (L26): face to face; in person in seconds (L31): immediately; instantly historical sites (L32): places which have rich historical background pack a suitcase (L34):put things into a suitcase for traveling purposes dip toes in the sea (L39): touch the sea with your toes In order to understand the real meaning of the passage, I design some discussions after the main reading. These questions are instructed to inspire students on deep implications of the passage. Some language points are summarized in order to develop students’ mastering of language.
Step Five: Post-readingVoice your opinion: What are the advantages and disadvantages of a virtual university Would you like to go to such a university Why Advantages of a virtual universitySave money to build the walls and teaching buildings.

Can’t learn and improve one’s social skills 2. Nonverbal languages like gestures are important cues in FFC (Face-to-face communication)3. Can’t feel the learning atmosphere and see the beauty of the environment. Work in pairs and discuss the following question together. Language is learned by communicating. It’s my job to create an atmosphere for students to use the language.
Step Six: HomeworkSearch the Internet and make use of the library. Write a composition about the advantages and disadvantages of a virtual university. I want to improve their ability of writing. At the same time, train the ability of do it yourself and look up information by themselves.
Blackboard DesignIn my opinion, blackboard design can reflect the teacher’s ability of mastering the text and lead the students to master the text easily. In this text, the design is as follows. I write the topic sentences and main ideas on the blackboard in order to tell students that this is of the importance of the class. I want to make the design inductive, instructive and artistic.Virtual realityDefinition:Para. 1-3: Plans about the weekendPara. 4-12: Virtual reality holidaysPara. 13-14: More virtual reality activities
