Module11 Unit1 Careers and skills
Reading 2
Thoughts on the design:
本节课是Reading部分的第二课时，主要在上一课时文章理解的基础上进行语言知识的学习，包括词和词组的用法，以及长句和难句的理解。本节课先把文中出现的某些重要词和词组的用法做了较为详细的解释，并加以举例说明，最后是配套的练习巩固。这样的知识点讲解形式并不花哨，但比较实用，对高三学生的语言水平和自学能力的提高都有很大的促进。
Teaching aims:
After learning this part, the students will be able to:
1. learn the usage of some important words and phrases;
2. deeply understand some long and important sentences as to better understand the text;
3. know how to use some new language points in other contexts.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Lead in
Do a quiz about some new words and new phrases in the text:
Teacher gives some English explanation of some words orally and students listen carefully and guess what the word is. Students can stand up quickly and tell classmates the word if he knows the answer. The student who does the best in this quiz can get praise from the teacher.
[Explanation]
这个小测试一方面可以检测学生课前的知识储备情况和自主预复习的成果，还可以在课的开头调动学生的积极性和活跃课堂气氛，毕竟语言点的学习相对来说还是比较枯燥的。同时还可以通过学生听英文解释让学生更到位地理解单词。
