Step I Warming up
Show the pictures of some great scientific achievements that have changed
the world on the PowerPoint. Divide students into groups and ask them to
discuss which one is the most important and what these achievements have
in common. (The exercises in warming up on Page 1).Students may have
different opinions. The most important thing is to encourage them to think
and express their opinions.
T: Please look at these great achievements and work in groups and discuss
the following questions. You may have different answers. But you will have
to tell us your reasons. (Show the following questions on the PowerPoint.)
1. Among the great scientific achievements that have changed the world,
which one do you think is the most important Why
2. What are some other scientific achievements that you think are
important
3. Do these achievements have anything in common If so, what
Five minutes later ask some students to speak out their opinion.
T: Ok. Please stop here. I’d like to listen to your opinions.
S1: I think electricity is the most important. The modern world cannot
work without electricity. Electricity has changed our way of life. This
summer in some areas there wasn’t enough electric power, so some factories
had to close and people had lot of problems in life.
S2: In my opinion the most important is Radio and television. Radio and
television have changed the way we look at the world.
S3: That’s true. But I still think the most important is solar energy.
Because by using solar energy, we can save other energy resources. And
what’s more we can protect our environment…
T: Good! Do these achievements have anything in common
Ss: These great achievements have changed the world.
S8: And all these great achievements were made by westerners/ foreigners.
T: That’s true. My dear students please think thousands of years ago our
ancestors made 4 great inventions that changed the world. We are proud of
them. But among the recent 75 greatest achievements, none was achieved by
us Chinese .So I hope you study hard and make great scientific
achievements. I will be very proud of you. Every Chinese will be proud of
you.

The Third Period Grammar
Teaching Aims:
1. Learn the Grammar--- Word formation (I)
2. Study the ways of forming a word and enlarge students’ vocabulary.
3. Enable students to use context clues and what they know about word
parts to guess the meaning of new words.
Teaching important points:
The ways of forming a word.
Teaching difficult points:
How to guess the meaning of a new word.
Teaching methods: Explaining and practising
Teaching aids: 1. a projector 2. a computer
Teaching procedures:
Step I Lead in
T: Good morning afternoon, class!
Ss: Good morning afternoon,Mr/Ms…
T: This week we are learning Unit 11 Scientific achievements .Now pay
attention to the two words. Will you please tell me how the two words are
formed
S1“Scientific”is the adjective form of” Science”.
S2:“Achievement “ is the noun form of “achieve”.
T: Observe them carefully; can you explain how they are formed
S3:” Science” is a noun, if we add –fic to it, then we get its adjective.
S4: “achieve” is a verb. If we add –ment to it, we get its noun.
T: Excellent ! That is how the two words are formed. The basic part of any
word is the root; to it, you can add a prefix at the beginning and/or a
suffix at the end to change the meaning. For example, in the word
\"unflattering,\" the root is simply \"flatter,\" while the prefix \"un-\"
makes the word negative, and the suffix \"-ing\" changes it from a verb
into an adjective (specifically, a participle).This is the grammar we are
going to learn in this class.(Show Word Formation on the powerpoint.)
Step II Grammar
Ask students to observe the given words carefully and find out how words
are formed.
T: How do learners improve their vocabulary There are no super shortcuts
to vocabulary, but there are various forms of support. Here is one
example. Increasing your vocabulary is so important that you just can\'t
forget about it. Don\'t bury your head in the sand. OK.. Please look at
the following words and tell how they are formed. (Show the following
words on the PowerPoint.)
affix
infix
prefix
suffix
Teacher explains the following.
T: What do these words (nouns) have in common
Ss: All of them contain the root “fix”.
T: Well, they do have a number of things in common. Let\'s settle for the
most obvious, the \'fix\' at the end. So if we split them, this is what we
get
af + fix
in + fix
pre + fix
suf + fix (These will be shown on the PowerPoint)
T: What does \'fix\' mean
Ss: Fix means attach to, fasten, stick, glue.
T: What about \'af\' , \'in\' , \'pre\' , \'suf\' in\' and \'pre\' are
understandable, aren\'t they
\'in\' a room, \'in\' a sentence, \'in\' a word.
\'pre\' means before like in pre-war, pre-school, premature.
So what do infix and prefix actually mean infix - to attach something
inside (a word).prefix - to attach something at the beginning of (a word)
What about \'af\' and \'suf\'
That\'s a bit more difficult to explain. \'af\' is actually from the
beginning the Latin word \'ad\', and the meaning is the same as the
English word add. Add 4 and 5 and you get 9.
\'suf\' is the Latin word \'sub\', like in submarine, subway, suburb. The
meaning is under, after (outside).
Why have the d in \'ad\' and the b in \'sub\' changed into f
The reason is really quite simple. \'adfix\' and \'subfix\' are difficult
to pronounce. There is economy in everything! You simply leave out the d
and the b, but in order to mark their existence the words are spelt with
an extra f .
So what do affix and suffix actually mean
Ss: affix - to attach something to (a word)
suffix -to attach something at the end of (a word)
T: We have now fixed the fixes, haven\'t we affix - something you add (stick) to a word
There are three kinds of affixes: added inside the word - infix added at the beginning of the word - prefix
added at the end of the word – suffix
Ss: What\'s this good for then
T: Well, there are thousands of words with prefixes and suffixes. The infixes are fewer and less useful to you. The English vocabulary basically consists of words of Latin and Germanic
origin. There are prefixes in both groups. If you know the basic meaning of a prefix or a suffix you can often \'guess\' the meaning of an English word. There are a limited number of
Latin prefixes and suffixes. If you learn the meaning of them, and learn
to recognize them in English words, you will increase your vocabulary much
faster.
Here are some of the most common Latin prefixes (for the meanings of the
Latin roots, look up the words in a good dictionary): (Show the following
on the PowerPoint.)
ab
(away) abstain, absent, absolve
ad
(to) adverb, advertisement, advance, adjoin
in /il-/im-/ir-
(not) incapable, indecisive, intolerable , illegal, impossible, irrugular
inter
(between, among) international, interaction interdependent,
interprovincial
pre
(before) prerecorded, preface prefer
post
(after) postpone, postscript, postwar
sub
(under, not quite) subsoil, subscription, suspect ,subway, subnormal
trans
(across, to a changed state) transfer, transit, translate, transport
,transform
Step III Practice
T: Are you ready for some exercises Open your books and look at Page6.
Let’s do the exercises. Let’s do Exercise 1 first .How are these words
formed (Or show the following words on the PowerPoint).
international= inter-+national telephone= tele-+phone
mankind=man+kind broadband= broad+band
extremely=extreme+-ly manned= man+ -ed
hi-tech= high+technology email= electronic mail
IT= information technology CSA= Chinese Space Agency
S1:I think international and telephone are formed in the same way. We add
prefix inter- to national and tele- to phone.
T: Good! What about the others
S2: Mankind and broadband are formed in the same way. Each is made up of
two words.
S3:Extremely and manned are formed by adding a suffix.
S4:Hi-tech is the shortened form of high technology and e-mail is the
shortened form of electronic mail.
S5: IT stands for information technology. We use the first letters of the
two words to form a new one .We use the first letters of Chinese Space
Agency to form the word CSA.
T；Well done .So we know that words are formed in these ways. When you come
across a new word, you can easily guess the meaning. Ok ,let’s come to
Exercise2.
Deal with the rest of exercises in the same way.

S1In the first sentence Whatever great achievements the future may have in
store for China, it is likely that many of them will be born in
northwestern Beijing. can I replace “likely” with “possible”
T: Yes, you can. It is the same. We can say “It is possible that something
will happen” But when we say “Somebody is likely to do sth “or “Something
is likely to happen.”.
E.g. The train is likely to be late.
She is not likely to come next month.
S2: In the last paragraph the second sentence” Not all the new companies
can succeed”, does “not all “mean “none”
T: No, “not all” means” some”.Do you have any other questions

The Third Period Grammar
Teaching Aims:
1. Learn the Grammar--- Word formation (I)
2. Study the ways of forming a word and enlarge students’ vocabulary.
3. Enable students to use context clues and what they know about word
parts to guess the meaning of new words.
Teaching important points:
The ways of forming a word.
Teaching difficult points:
How to guess the meaning of a new word.
Teaching methods: Explaining and practising
Teaching aids: 1. a projector 2. a computer
Teaching procedures:
Step I Lead in
T: Good morning afternoon, class!
Ss: Good morning afternoon,Mr/Ms…
T: This week we are learning Unit 11 Scientific achievements .Now pay
attention to the two words. Will you please tell me how the two words are
formed
S1“Scientific”is the adjective form of” Science”.
S2:“Achievement “ is the noun form of “achieve”.
T: Observe them carefully; can you explain how they are formed
S3:” Science” is a noun, if we add –fic to it, then we get its adjective.
S4: “achieve” is a verb. If we add –ment to it, we get its noun.
T: Excellent ! That is how the two words are formed. The basic part of any
word is the root; to it, you can add a prefix at the beginning and/or a
suffix at the end to change the meaning. For example, in the word
\"unflattering,\" the root is simply \"flatter,\" while the prefix \"un-\"
makes the word negative, and the suffix \"-ing\" changes it from a verb
into an adjective (specifically, a participle).This is the grammar we are
going to learn in this class.(Show Word Formation on the powerpoint.)
Step II Grammar
Ask students to observe the given words carefully and find out how words
are formed.
T: How do learners improve their vocabulary There are no super shortcuts
to vocabulary, but there are various forms of support. Here is one
example. Increasing your vocabulary is so important that you just can\'t
forget about it. Don\'t bury your head in the sand. OK.. Please look at
the following words and tell how they are formed. (Show the following
words on the PowerPoint.)
affix
infix
prefix
suffix
Teacher explains the following.
T: What do these words (nouns) have in common
Ss: All of them contain the root “fix”.
T: Well, they do have a number of things in common. Let\'s settle for the
most obvious, the \'fix\' at the end. So if we split them, this is what we
get
af + fix
in + fix
pre + fix
suf + fix (These will be shown on the PowerPoint)
T: What does \'fix\' mean
Ss: Fix means attach to, fasten, stick, glue.
T: What about \'af\' , \'in\' , \'pre\' , \'suf\' in\' and \'pre\' are
understandable, aren\'t they
\'in\' a room, \'in\' a sentence, \'in\' a word.
\'pre\' means before like in pre-war, pre-school, premature.
So what do infix and prefix actually mean infix - to attach something
inside (a word).prefix - to attach something at the beginning of (a word)
What about \'af\' and \'suf\'
That\'s a bit more difficult to explain. \'af\' is actually from the
beginning the Latin word \'ad\', and the meaning is the same as the
English word add. Add 4 and 5 and you get 9.
\'suf\' is the Latin word \'sub\', like in submarine, subway, suburb. The
meaning is under, after (outside).
Why have the d in \'ad\' and the b in \'sub\' changed into f
The reason is really quite simple. \'adfix\' and \'subfix\' are difficult
to pronounce. There is economy in everything! You simply leave out the d
and the b, but in order to mark their existence the words are spelt with
an extra f .
So what do affix and suffix actually mean
Ss: affix - to attach something to (a word)
suffix -to attach something at the end of (a word)
T: We have now fixed the fixes, haven\'t we affix - something you add (stick) to a word
There are three kinds of affixes: added inside the word - infix added at the beginning of the word - prefix
added at the end of the word – suffix
Ss: What\'s this good for then
T: Well, there are thousands of words with prefixes and suffixes. The infixes are fewer and less useful to you. The English vocabulary basically consists of words of Latin and Germanic
origin. There are prefixes in both groups. If you know the basic meaning of a prefix or a suffix you can often \'guess\' the meaning of an English word. There are a limited number of
Latin prefixes and suffixes. If you learn the meaning of them, and learn
to recognize them in English words, you will increase your vocabulary much
faster.
Here are some of the most common Latin prefixes (for the meanings of the
Latin roots, look up the words in a good dictionary): (Show the following
on the PowerPoint.)
ab
(away) abstain, absent, absolve
ad
(to) adverb, advertisement, advance, adjoin
in /il-/im-/ir-
(not) incapable, indecisive, intolerable , illegal, impossible, irrugular
inter
(between, among) international, interaction interdependent,
interprovincial
pre
(before) prerecorded, preface prefer
post
(after) postpone, postscript, postwar
sub
(under, not quite) subsoil, subscription, suspect ,subway, subnormal
trans
(across, to a changed state) transfer, transit, translate, transport
,transform
Step III Practice
T: Are you ready for some exercises Open your books and look at Page6.
Let’s do the exercises. Let’s do Exercise 1 first .How are these words
formed (Or show the following words on the PowerPoint).
international= inter-+national telephone= tele-+phone
mankind=man+kind broadband= broad+band
extremely=extreme+-ly manned= man+ -ed
hi-tech= high+technology email= electronic mail
IT= information technology CSA= Chinese Space Agency
S1:I think international and telephone are formed in the same way. We add
prefix inter- to national and tele- to phone.
T: Good! What about the others
S2: Mankind and broadband are formed in the same way. Each is made up of
two words.
S3:Extremely and manned are formed by adding a suffix.
S4:Hi-tech is the shortened form of high technology and e-mail is the
shortened form of electronic mail.
S5: IT stands for information technology. We use the first letters of the
two words to form a new one .We use the first letters of Chinese Space
Agency to form the word CSA.
T；Well done .So we know that words are formed in these ways. When you come
across a new word, you can easily guess the meaning. Ok ,let’s come to
Exercise2.
Deal with the rest of exercises in the same way.
Step IV Exercises( workbook)
T: After doing theses exercises I’m sure you have a better understanding
on word formation. I hope this will help you to improve your vocabulary.
