Teaching procedures
Step I Greetings and Lead-in
T: Good morning/afternoon, class.
Ss: Good morning/afternoon, Miss/ Mr. X.
T: Sit down, please. Being the members of the society, we all cares for/about what happens around us or even what happens at home and abroad. How can you do so
Ss: By reading newspapers and magazines, watching TV programmers, listening to the radio.
T: Are there any other ways Think it over.
Ss: By a website.
T: Yes. It’s also a way to learn about the world. What do you call these things which help us know about to the world
Ss:新闻媒体
T: In English, we call it news media. First, let's learn the new words in this period. Look at the screen.
(Teacher first asks some students to read the words on the screen. Correct the Ss' mistakes in pronunciation. Then teacher gives brief explanations. At last, let the Ss read and remember them for a while.)
Step Ⅱ Warming up
T: Well, now please open your books at Page 9. Warming up first. Look at each of the pictures and tell me which kind of news media it shows
Ss: The first picture shows a website; the second one shows radio; the third one shows TV programmes; the fourth one shows magazines; the fifth one shows newspapers.
T: Quite right! Now, please work in groups of four and discuss the five questions below the pictures. A few minutes later, I’ll check your answers. OK
Ss: OK.
T: You can begin now. (A few minutes later. )
T: Are you ready now Ss: Yes.
T: Which group would like to talk about the first question (Choose one member of your group to answer the question. )
S1: I think TV is the most reliable among the news media. TV consists of a series of lively consecutive pictures. For the people who want to know what is exactly happening, a picture responds better to offer the truth of a fact than the mere words upon a page. It can offer a unique function of seemingly on-the-spot feeling, which is not available to the other media.
T: The second question
S2. I think TV programmes are easy for most people to understand. Radio, can only be heard and sometimes can’t be picked up clearly. Newspapers and magazines are only useful for people who can read. Websites have many different pages, but you should be careful to read some of the pages. Website have many different pages, but you should be careful to read some of the pages.
T: The third question
S3 : I will check other sources.
T: The fourth question
S4: Every morning, the newspaper chief editor and the journalists discuss the main events of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events. They usually do some interviews and then check the information. They must work very fast. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Then the editors read the stories and make any necessary changes and choose a good title for each story. At last, they print them quickly and deliver them. Making a magazine is more or less the same as making a newspaper. But the articles in a magazine are more like stories, which are written by all kinds of writers. Magazines are not published as quickly as newspapers. T: The last question Ss: News broadcast, newspaper, magazine, radio programme, website, report, reporter, editor, interview, write articles…
StepⅢ Listening
T: Next, let's come to the Listening. We are going to listen to two parts of conversations. The first part is an interview; the second part is a dialogue. Now, look at Exercise 1:
Listen carefully towhat is said and tick the information you hear in each part. If necessary, I'll play it twice. (Teacher begins to play the tape, and checks the answers after listening. Then ask the students to finish the rest of the tasks. )
T: OK. Now, please listen to each part once again and then work in pairs to talk about the questions in Exercises 2,3,4 and 5. Are you clear Ss: Yes. (Teacher allows them enough time to talk about the questions. Then ask some students to say their answers.)
Step IV Speaking
T: Well, now it's time for us to be the editors of a newspaper. Here is a list of ten things that happened today. Look at the screen. (Teacher shows the screen and read through the list to the whole class.)
200 people died in an earthquake in Turkey.
China beat Brazil 5-1 in football.
France elected a new President.
Three children from your city were killed.
Someone robbed a bank in Shanghai.
Food prices are going up.
A house in your town burned down.
Nobody was injured. 2 000 people in your city were happy today and moved into new buildings.
A Chinese scientist has invented a new car engine that does not pollute the air. There is a rumor that a large company wants to build a factory in your town: (Bb :go up, burn down)
T: Now, you've known the ten things, but you only need to report five of them. So, first decide which events you are going to put in your newspaper. Then give reasons for your choices and compare with your classmates. Work in groups of four or five. And the following expressions on the screen can help you with your dialogue. After a while, I'll ask some of you to act out your dialogue. (Teacher shows the screen. ) What do you think of'… I would rather choose.… What's your opinion I don't think we should choose… Why do you choose… Maybe it would be better to choose… Perhaps… is more important. Our readers want to know about….
(Teacher goes around the Ss and checks their work. If necessary, teacher may join in them. )

Never have I seen such a stupid.
Not until he loses all his money will he stop gambling.
Scarcely had he entered the room when he was knocked down by a stranger.

e.g. Only after an operation will he be able to walk again.
Only one has he done such a thing.
3) Adverbial expressions with so

Inside the room were a few pieces of furniture.
But when the subject is a pronoun instead of a noun, the order should not be inverted.

Keys: FTFTT
Tips
A primary source depends on: The person who has written the news should be there at the time.
Primary sources and secondary sources are very important for finding out the truth. The closer a person is to the event they describe in time or geographically, the more likely they are to be accurate.
3. Do Exercise3 to choose Ss’ understanding.
The primary source is the Garlic Wars because it was written at the time. I think Plutarch Life of Julius Caesar and Shakespeare’s play about Julius Caesar will have more opinion than fact because they were written long after the events happened.

Fish Story
Today is the city’s annual Father’s Day Fishing Competition. Mr. Thompson took part in the fishing competition. He presented a very large and rare fish as big as a small car.
Mr. Thompson said, “ It was quite by accident.” “
I had a bite on the line. It was this wonderful fish. So, of course, I pulled it out of the water very quickly.” He added.
However, an eyewitness said he had seen Mr. Thompson earlier in the day buying fish at the fish market. He said, “I saw the fisherman go into the shop and come out with this large, rare fish.” “Then he went to the judges and they weighed his fish and told him it was the largest so far”, said the witness.
Mr. Thompson finally admitted he had bought the fish and had not caught it. He apologized in public and said that he only did it so his son would be proud of him as a fisherman. So it seems that it was Mr. Thompson who was the big fish!

Teaching procedures
Step I Greetings and Lead-in
T: Good morning/afternoon, class.
Ss: Good morning/afternoon, Miss/ Mr. X.
T: Sit down, please. Being the members of the society, we all cares for/about what happens around us or even what happens at home and abroad. How can you do so
Ss: By reading newspapers and magazines, watching TV programmers, listening to the radio.
T: Are there any other ways Think it over.
Ss: By a website.
T: Yes. It’s also a way to learn about the world. What do you call these things which help us know about to the world
Ss:新闻媒体
T: In English, we call it news media. First, let's learn the new words in this period. Look at the screen.
(Teacher first asks some students to read the words on the screen. Correct the Ss' mistakes in pronunciation. Then teacher gives brief explanations. At last, let the Ss read and remember them for a while.)
Step Ⅱ Warming up
T: Well, now please open your books at Page 9. Warming up first. Look at each of the pictures and tell me which kind of news media it shows
Ss: The first picture shows a website; the second one shows radio; the third one shows TV programmes; the fourth one shows magazines; the fifth one shows newspapers.
T: Quite right! Now, please work in groups of four and discuss the five questions below the pictures. A few minutes later, I’ll check your answers. OK
Ss: OK.
T: You can begin now. (A few minutes later. )
T: Are you ready now Ss: Yes.
T: Which group would like to talk about the first question (Choose one member of your group to answer the question. )
S1: I think TV is the most reliable among the news media. TV consists of a series of lively consecutive pictures. For the people who want to know what is exactly happening, a picture responds better to offer the truth of a fact than the mere words upon a page. It can offer a unique function of seemingly on-the-spot feeling, which is not available to the other media.
T: The second question
S2. I think TV programmes are easy for most people to understand. Radio, can only be heard and sometimes can’t be picked up clearly. Newspapers and magazines are only useful for people who can read. Websites have many different pages, but you should be careful to read some of the pages. Website have many different pages, but you should be careful to read some of the pages.
T: The third question
S3 : I will check other sources.
T: The fourth question
S4: Every morning, the newspaper chief editor and the journalists discuss the main events of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events. They usually do some interviews and then check the information. They must work very fast. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Then the editors read the stories and make any necessary changes and choose a good title for each story. At last, they print them quickly and deliver them. Making a magazine is more or less the same as making a newspaper. But the articles in a magazine are more like stories, which are written by all kinds of writers. Magazines are not published as quickly as newspapers. T: The last question Ss: News broadcast, newspaper, magazine, radio programme, website, report, reporter, editor, interview, write articles…
StepⅢ Listening
T: Next, let's come to the Listening. We are going to listen to two parts of conversations. The first part is an interview; the second part is a dialogue. Now, look at Exercise 1:
Listen carefully towhat is said and tick the information you hear in each part. If necessary, I'll play it twice. (Teacher begins to play the tape, and checks the answers after listening. Then ask the students to finish the rest of the tasks. )
T: OK. Now, please listen to each part once again and then work in pairs to talk about the questions in Exercises 2,3,4 and 5. Are you clear Ss: Yes. (Teacher allows them enough time to talk about the questions. Then ask some students to say their answers.)
Step IV Speaking
T: Well, now it's time for us to be the editors of a newspaper. Here is a list of ten things that happened today. Look at the screen. (Teacher shows the screen and read through the list to the whole class.)
200 people died in an earthquake in Turkey.
China beat Brazil 5-1 in football.
France elected a new President.
Three children from your city were killed.
Someone robbed a bank in Shanghai.
Food prices are going up.
A house in your town burned down.
Nobody was injured. 2 000 people in your city were happy today and moved into new buildings.
A Chinese scientist has invented a new car engine that does not pollute the air. There is a rumor that a large company wants to build a factory in your town: (Bb :go up, burn down)
T: Now, you've known the ten things, but you only need to report five of them. So, first decide which events you are going to put in your newspaper. Then give reasons for your choices and compare with your classmates. Work in groups of four or five. And the following expressions on the screen can help you with your dialogue. After a while, I'll ask some of you to act out your dialogue. (Teacher shows the screen. ) What do you think of'… I would rather choose.… What's your opinion I don't think we should choose… Why do you choose… Maybe it would be better to choose… Perhaps… is more important. Our readers want to know about….

And people can learn about news at home and abroad by watching TV, listening to radio, surfing the Internet, reading magazines and newspapers etc. Among these media, newspaper is one of the oldest, In China there are many kinds of newspapers. I believe all of you read some of them everyday. Am I right ”
Using words above to lead in today’s topic and get Ss involved in their familiar media form, newspapers.
StepⅡ Reading
1. Ask Ss to go over the passage (Getting the “Scoop”) quickly and find the general idea of the text. (Answer: It introduces the process of writing and printing for a newspaper article.
2. Scanning: Ask Ss to read the passage again and try to answer the questions as listed on the screen.
Questions:
1) What is Zhou Yang’s first task (Answer: His first task was to write his story)
2) How many people read his article before it was ready to be processed into film negatives Who were they (Answer: Before it was ready to be processed into film negative, an editor from his department, the copy-editor, the native speaker, the chief editor and the new desk editor read his article.)

Keys: FTFTT
Tips
A primary source depends on: The person who has written the news should be there at the time.
Primary sources and secondary sources are very important for finding out the truth. The closer a person is to the event they describe in time or geographically, the more likely they are to be accurate.
3. Do Exercise3 to choose Ss’ understanding.
The primary source is the Garlic Wars because it was written at the time. I think Plutarch Life of Julius Caesar and Shakespeare’s play about Julius Caesar will have more opinion than fact because they were written long after the events happened.
StepⅣ Summary and Assignment

A sample version:
Fish Story
Today is the city’s annual Father’s Day Fishing Competition. Mr. Thompson took part in the fishing competition. He presented a very large and rare fish as big as a small car.
Mr. Thompson said, “ It was quite by accident.” “
I had a bite on the line. It was this wonderful fish. So, of course, I pulled it out of the water very quickly.” He added.
However, an eyewitness said he had seen Mr. Thompson earlier in the day buying fish at the fish market. He said, “I saw the fisherman go into the shop and come out with this large, rare fish.” “Then he went to the judges and they weighed his fish and told him it was the largest so far”, said the witness.
Mr. Thompson finally admitted he had bought the fish and had not caught it. He apologized in public and said that he only did it so his son would be proud of him as a fisherman. So it seems that it was Mr. Thompson who was the big fish!
