Unit 1 Confucius’ works are read by many people
课型：读写课
一、教学目标
知识目标：1. 掌握5个词汇(work(s), influence, respect, wise, literature)和3个词组(as far as, not…any more, , millions of), 并理解thinker & monthly。
2. 体验一般现在时的被动语态的语意和构成。
3. 通过词汇和语法的学习，能理解对话内容，对本模块的话题Great books有初步了解。
技能目标：
1.. 说：通过模仿本单元的句子，能够说出像“We’re still influenced by Confucius’ thoughts.” “Shakespeare’s plays are seen by millions of people every year.”这样的句式，并就所给的两部伟大的戏剧、两首诗、两位睿智的思想家、两位重要的作家、两个著名的故事五项中其中的一项说出自己的见解。
2．读：通过跟读模仿正确的语音、语调，在正确熟练地朗读中体验、感知并理解对话内容。
二、教学重难点：
重 点
1 As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang.
2 Confucius' works are still read by many people today ,and we are still influenced by his thoughts.
3 Mark Twain was a important writer ,but he isn't known as a great thinker like Confucius .
4 Perhaps that's what makes “Great Books”---they're still read today。
难 点 一般现在时的被动语态
教学过程：
一、课前朗读
二、导入新课
标题导入。“Recently I’ve read a great book called Romeo and Juliet. I’m deeply moved by it. Have you ever read some great books?” 随即将第2模块的标题 “Great books”呈现在黑板上，鼓励学生说出他们读过的名著。
三、听力训练
1. 展示三幅图片，问“Who are they? Do you know something about them? Try to use the words in the table to help you.”,学生们两人一组描述图片，then listen and check your answer to Activity 1.
2、读对话，完成判断题。
4、 引导学生找出对话中的语言点。
1） As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang.
凭我记忆,它(这本杂志)是由贝基.王创办的.
as far as...表示“至于,就......”.如:
He isn't coming today ,as far as I know .据我所知,他今天不来了.
2 ）Confucius' works are still read by many people today ,and we are still influenced by his thoughts.今天,仍然有许多人在读孔子的论著,我们也仍然受他思想的影响.Confucius 指孔子,是“孔夫子"”的英语译名.由于历史的原因,中国古代思想家孔子和孟子(Mencius,也是从"“孟夫子"”翻译而来的)的英语译名一般不使用拼音直接翻译.现在,大多数我国特有的名称等都取汉语拼音的翻译的方法.
3） Mark Twain was a important writer ,but he isn't known as a great thinker like Confucius .
马克.吐温是一位重要的作家,但他并不像孔子那样作为伟大的思想家而文明于世.
be known as... 表示"以......知名/闻名".如:
Yang Liping is know as a great dancer.杨丽萍是公认的出色的舞蹈家.
4） Perhaps that's what makes “Great Books”---they're still read today .也许,这正是入选“名著欣赏”的关键---它们至今仍被广泛阅读.在该句中,make+宾语+adj.的表示“致使/使/导致......怎么样”。如:
The words made her popular with the students.那些话使她在学生中很受欢迎.
Eating the bad bananas made them ill.吃这些坏的香蕉使他们生病了。
5.二次阅读。回答设计的提问型题目。
四、说的训练
1.分角色朗读对话。
先让两位同学分角色朗读，再让学生自己熟读对话，为后面说的练习打好基础。
在朗读后，为了帮助学生进一步理解并运用新词汇，要求学生用本课所学的词汇完成下列短文。
accept discuss influence review sense thinker wise
Mr Jackson and Betty are (1) _________ great writers. Betty explains that in her Internet group, each person reads a favourite book and then writes a(n) (2) _______ of it. Mr Jackson (3) ________ that Confucius and Shakespeare are great because their works are still read by people today, but he thinks Confucius was more a teacher and (4) _________ than a writer. He says that Confucius was a very (5) ________ man. Mr Jackson thinks that we are still (6) _________ by Confucius’s ideas and that Shakespeare’s plays still make (7) _______ to people today.
2.小组活动。通过听和读我们达到了语言输入和捕捉信息的目的，为了达到语言输出的目的，学生们通过进行小组活动，每组选一人在全班展示，提示学生在交流中尽可掌握被动语态的句子的用法。比如：
将下列句子变成被动语态
将主动语态中的宾语变成被动语态的主语将谓语部分变成被动形式(注意人称和数要做相应变化，时态不变) 将主动语态中的主语变成被动语态的宾语（前面加by）
1. Mother gave me a new desk as a present.
2. I made my little brother a model ship last week
?
3. He often passes me my pen.
? ?
4.I saw him go into the classroom.
?
5. Who often takes care of the old granny?
让学生在实际运用中更深入地去了解和体验被动语态。

Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can make us happy and open up a whole new world to us . However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or playing computer games online. It takes much of their spare time .What a pity!
So, I would like to advise everyone to read books. We can ask our teachers and parents for some advice about reading. Some books can be borrowed from the school library by us. Some books are bought from bookshops. We’d better read the four great classical Chinese novels. Before reading, we should read some reviews about the book. After reading, we can discuss it with our classmates, then write a book report—what the book is about, what you think of it and so on..
let reading become part of our lifeThank you.
