Ⅲ. 教材分析与教材重组
1． 教材分析
本单元以女性为主题，以Warming up， Reading，listening的形式对古今中外六位不同女性的成就进行了介绍。其目的在于引导学生了解有什么样人格的人才是伟人；伟人是否是完人；我们在人格上离伟人有多远。这些对学生可起到一定的启发作用，使他们能以这些伟人为榜样，并坚定信念，塑造自我，创造未来。在这样一个主题之下，有两个值得让学生思考的问题：一，什么样的人是伟人，什么样的人是名人。在当今社会，不少人以一个人的经济能力为标准来衡量他的社会地位，乃至于幸福程度。让学生弄明白这一点是非常重要的。它可以引导学生树立正确的世界观和人生观。二，一个人的成就是否由性别来定。这就涉及到了男女平等的问题。通过本单元的学习，学生们可以深切地感受到无论男女，只要对他人有无私的爱心，对事业有坚定的信心，并不懈地为之倾注心血，都能成就一番事业。
1.1 Warming up中的材料是古今中外六位杰出女性的简介。这部分要求学生通过讨论来区分伟人与名人。其作用有二：一是统领全单元主题，二是引导学生树立正确的世界观、人生观和价值观。教师在这一点上要起到引导作用而不是简单的说教。
1.2 Reading 这部分由Pre-reading，Reading和Comprehending三部分组成。Reading一文介绍了Jane Goodall与其同事们在非洲森林里的一天，并由此引出她的工作方法及其所取得的成就。同时阐明了她的观点，即要理解、尊重和保护动物。Pre-reading部分提出了两个问题：Why do you think Jane Goodall went to Africa to study chimps rather than to a university？和Do you think her work is important？Why？这两道题给了学生这样的提示：在研究动物时如何体现科学与人道的结合。
Comprehending中针对课文内容从细节到中心思想，由浅入深地设计了练习题，可帮助学生真正了解Jane Goodall 及其所从事的事业。
1.3 Learning about Language 这部分包含两方面的内容：词汇和语法。词汇部分主要涉及一些构词法、重点词汇和短语。语法部分是“主谓一致”，重点在如何确定集合名词的数。所有这些项目都设计了相应的练习题，以求通过上下文语境，让学生了解词汇与语法如何具体运用，作到精讲多练。
1.4 Using Language中包含读、听、说和写四个方面的内容，全面体现对英语的综合训练。读的部分介绍了我国著名的妇科病专家——林巧稚。文章的第二段体现了本单元的目标之一：学会运用介绍人物品质的形容词来描述他人的情况。这也为下一步的说与写打下了基础。
1.5 Workbook中包含的听、说、读、写的内容更为丰富，它是对前面所学内容的复习与总结，其设计仍然围绕单元主题。
1.6 Summing Up 部分让学生从内容、词汇和语法结构三方面对本单元进行归纳与总结。词汇部分的小结可以从构词法的角度进行适当的拓宽。Learning Tip部分就人物描写提出了建议，即选取典型事件，抓住人物特征。
2． 教材重组
2.1 从本单元整体结构来看,可将Warming Up, Pre-reading, Reading 和Comprehending整合成一堂阅读课。将Warming Up作为导入的内容，然后再处理Pre-reading，Reading和Comprehending。其中以Reading为主。教学形式上以学生讨论为主，教师指导为辅。
2.2 将Learning about Language作为一堂语法课。教学形式以学生练习总结为主，教师可适当扩展并增加一些有关的语法知识。
2.3 将P7，P41及P44的听力内容整合成一堂听力课。当然，教师可依情况将其中的任何一、两个作为主要内容，将别的作为泛听内容进行处理。
2.4 将Reading（P6），Speaking（P7）与Talking（P41）整合成一堂口语课。这部分中Reading中的部分内容与Speaking（P7）及Talking（P41）相一致。且Speaking与Talking只是体裁上的不同，内容是一致的，故此三者宜合为一课。
2.5 将Writing（P8）和Writing（P46）整合成一堂写作课，以完成本单元的写作要求。
2.6 将Reading Task（P45），Writing Task（P46），Project（P47）和Summing Up（P8）组合成一堂复习课，对本单元内容进行巩固与完善。

Teaching important points 教学重点
a. By reading A protector of African wildlife, students can learn from Jane Goodall in at least two aspects: one is what is the humane way to study animals; the other is that it was her great personality - universal love and mercy（博爱与慈悲 ）that made her successful. If everyone had such kind of heart, they would give everything benefit for all living things. Then our world will be full of love and peace, without any war and starvation.
b. Ask students to answer these questions:
1) What made her a great success
2) What should we learn from Jane Goodall

Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式
StepⅠLead-in
T: Good morning, everyone! Haven’t seen you for a long time. Did you have a good time in your holidays What did you do during the holidays
S1: Yes, I had a good time. You know I enjoy movies, sports and other types of entertainment. I saw several favorite films and every afternoon, I would play basketball with my friends.
S2: I would die of boredom. I didn’t know what to do but read. I didn’t know how to relax myself. I just hoped that the new term began. The sooner, the better.
T: That sounds interesting. In fact, boredom is a kind of feeling. There is a good way to be away from it. Believe it or not, that is to help others, no matter who they are, human being or animals. Have a try, Ok Today we’ll learn Unit 1. It introduces several women to us and tells us how they live and work. Now let’s turn to Page 1. Look at these pictures and the brief introductions, then work in pairs to discuss which of these women you think is a great woman. You need to give your reasons for your choice.
Give students 3 minutes to do this task, and then ask some of them to speak out their choices. Teacher should give them some guide. For example, what is her ambition What are the problems she met And what are her sacrifices After that the teacher can refer to the chart on Page 11 in the reference book. And then give them a brief summary about their discussion.
A sample summary:
As great women, they don’t care for themselves at all, and at some point or rather, they must give some sacrifices, just like Lin Qiaozhi, she devoted all her life to medical work for Chinese women and children and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead, she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered to their mothers. Not all people can do this. Once they have chosen their careers, they would carry on with them without any withdrawal. What they did is encouraging thousands of people to continue their careers. Those who are only famous but not great can’t be matched.
StepⅡReading
There are four tasks in this step:
a. Pre-reading to find the main idea of each paragraph.
b. Making a chart of the text structure.
c. Language points.
d. Comprehending.
Task 1 Pre-reading
There are 3 paragraphs in the text, and each one has its main idea. These main ideas support the title A protector of African wildlife. Teacher can give students some time to read the text quickly and find these main ideas to form a overview of the text.
T: How many paragraphs are there in the text
Ss: Three.
T: What are the main ideas of theirs
S1: The first paragraph is about a day in Combe National Park.
S2: The second one tells us how Jane Goodall did her research and the achievement she has made in her research.
S3: The third one tells us her influence to the world.
T: OK. Can we divide the text in this way There are four paragraphs in the text. The first one is about a day in the park. The second one is her way of doing her research and some achievement. The third one is her attitude and feeling to the animals. And the last one is a short summary to her.
Ss: That’s right.
T: Thanks. Well, let’s draw a chart of the text together according to the main ideas we’ve found.
Task 2 Making a chart
A protector of African wildlife

① ② ③
│ ∣ ∣
A day in the park Jane’s way to study chimps Her attitude to and her achievement the animals
↓
④
She has achieved everything she wanted to do.
Task 3 Language Points
T: By now, we have mastered the main idea and the details. Do you have some difficulties in the language
S1: Yes. What does this sentence mean: “Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day”
T: Who’d like to help her
S2: The subject of the sentence is a “V-ing form”, and the Predicate is “is” not “wake up”. So the meaning of the sentence is: 今天我们的第一件事是观察一个猩猩家庭的早起。
T: That’s right. Sometimes we should depend on the structure of the sentences to help us understand the meaning.
S3: Miss Wu, the sentence: “This means going back to a place where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before.” is beyond me.
T: This sentence is a little difficult. First, it includes an Attributive Clause. The clause is: where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before. Second, there are two structures in the sentence. One is “to mean doing”; the other is “leave ... doing”. For the first one, we can refer to the Appendices in Page 76. Now let’s look at the second one. In fact, there are several same structures in this text. Please look at these sentences.
Show the sentences on the screen:
1. ... where we left the chimp family sleeping in a tree the night before.
2. ... we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night.
3. But the evening makes it all worthwhile.
4. ... was she allowed to begin her project.
5. ... Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.
T: Now look at the boldface（黑体字）. All the structures of the Predicates are Verb + Object + Object Complement. Let’s translate these sentences to taste the meaning and usage of Object Complement.
Ask some of the students to translate these sentences. Give them some explanations: When we use -ing form as Object Complement, it means this act is continuing. For example, Sentence 1. When we use -to do form as Object Complement, it means this process of the act has finished or to begin. We can take Sentence 2 and 4 for example. When we use an objective as Object Complement, it means that it shows us a kind of state. We can take sentence 3 and 5 for example. If possible, teacher still can give them more examples about this structure.
I heard the teacher call my name.
I will let you know the result of the voting as soon as possible.
We watch the children diving into the water from the top diving board.
Let’s go, let him alone.
S4: Miss Wu, I find this sentence a bit strange: Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project.
T: Yeah, this sentence uses the structure of inversion. The sign is that only phrase is placed at the beginning of the sentence. We will learn it later. Now it is Ok that you know the meaning of the sentence. Any questions
Ss: No.
Task 4 Comprehending
T: Do you still have any questions No Ok, let’s finish next task. Read the text again and try to finish Exercise 1&2 in Page 3 as quickly as you can.
Give students some time to do this. After that, check the answers with the whole class.
Step Ⅲ Discussion
When we are guiding students to read something, besides hoping that they can learn some basic knowledge the material shows, we still hope they can learn something that can reflect the spirit of human being. This is the most important thing a teacher should show to students.
Ask students to work in groups of four and discuss the following questions:
1.What made her a great success
2.What should we learn from Jane Goodall
T: I think, there is not a single person who doesn’t admire success. But what is the way to succeed Now we have read Jane Goodall, can you make sure what made her a great success, and what we should learn from her Please discuss these two questions, and then some of you will report your opinions to all the class.
Give students some time to discuss.
T: Boys and girls, have you finished your discussion How about your group
G1: We think that there are two points that made her successful. One is her way to study chimps, and the other is her true love to the animals. The first one is facile (易做到的), because it is only a way. Everyone can do it. But for the second one, it is more easily said than done. As a woman, she gave up everything, went to the forest to study the chimps and devoted all her love to these animals. It is really not easy. What we cannot understand is that how she has such great personality.
T: These are very interesting questions. As far as I know, it is her relief that raised her personality. Everything is equal, no matter what they are. It isn’t because we are human being that we are superior to the other living thing. We don’t have any right to control other living thing. We all live on the same planet, they are our brothers or sisters. The only difference is that we have different shapes and have different wisdom. If you have the same love to the things around you, you can turn to be her. OK, how about the second question
G2: At first, we admire she had the wisdom and courage to give up her chance to go to university and went to Africa to begin her own research. This makes us think over what we should think when we are choosing our majors or a university. Secondly, most of us think that man is the master of the world, because he is the most intelligent animal on the earth. So he can decide every thing he thinks right, including doing some experiments on animals, in spite of their pains. Jane not only saw this, but also tried her best to help them and argued for them to be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. What she said in the text is very moving. It shows her deeply love to the animals. We should learn this from her. In fact, there are so much we should learn from her, her consideration, her hard work and so on.
StepⅣ Listening
Have a listening. Let students listen to the reading material, follow and repeat it, pay attention to the new words and expressions, as well as the sentence structures they have learned just now.
StepⅤ Homework
T: I’m very glad to hear what you said. You have learned what you should learn from Jane Goodall. And I believe you will be Jane Goodall, if you treat everything around you equally and show your love to them. Now time is up. Today’s homework is to finish the exercises in Page 4 and 5. Make some preparations for the next class. See you next time.
Ss: See you.
