Unit5 First Aid
教材分析
I. 教学内容分析:
俗话说:“天有不测风云,人有旦夕祸福。”在我们的日常生活中,意外事故的发生是不可避免的。我们不能阻止它的到来,但是我们可以尽力将它的危害降到最低。本单元从急救入手,深入浅出的介绍了家庭急救的几种简单可行的方法。
“热身”(Warming up) 部分首先以下定义的方式阐述什么是first aid(急救);然后,让学生描述所给的六幅图片:
1. 被蛇咬(someone holding onto the lower part of his leg, looking rather surprised and watching a snake slither away.)
2. 被玻璃划破(someone who hs cut herself badly on her arm on some glass and is bleeding heavily.)
3. 扭伤脚踝(someone on the ground in a soccer match, frimacing in pain and holding on to his ankle. He has badly sprained his ankle. In background we can see other players running towrds him.)
4. 食物堵住喉咙 (someone who is sitting at the dinner table clutching her throat. She is red in the face and her eyes are bulging. She is choking on a piece of food.)
5. 摔伤手臂(someone who has fallen down the stairs and broken her arm.)
6. 鼻子流血(someone with a bleeding nose. We can see the blood dripping out onto the person’ hand.)
最后要求学生分组讨论这六种情况应该采取什么急救措施。讨论过程中,学生用以有的急救知识进行交流,这样,就比较容易理解first aid的定义。
“读前”(Pre-reading) 部分主要让学生回顾日常生活中可能发生的急救场景。通过图片引出“烫伤”话题(A young child has reached up to a beach in the kitchen, and pulled the cord of an electric jug towards her. We can see the water pouring out of jug onto the child. There is steam coming off the water to show it is boiling. The child’s mother is running towards the child, looking horrified.),继而讨论烫伤后该怎么办,这样,就自然地把学生带进了阅读课文:FIRST AID FOR BURNS。
“阅读”(Reading) 部分首先陈述皮肤对人体的重要性,然后介绍烧伤的各种起因、三种不同的烧伤程度以及它们所表现出的主要症状和所应采取的急救措施。文章脉络明晰,阅读时可以充分发挥小标题的作用。
“理解”(Comprehending) 部分设置了四个活动:第一个动作时排序,有助于培养学生在阅读过程中通过抓关键词来捕捉主要信息的能力,并通过排序理解行文线索和各个主要内容之间的内在联系;第二个活动是“贴标签”,通过图片帮助学生更好地理解三种不同的烧伤程度;第三个活动是问答题,帮助学生理解和记忆文中的细节性信息;第四个活动是情景判断,不仅检查学生对文章的深层理解,而且培养学生运用文中信息解决问题的能力。
“语言学习”(Learning about language) 的词汇部分设置了三个词汇练习:第一个练习是学习构词法,练习同一词根的动词、名词和形容词的拼写规律;第二个练习是填词。要求学生根据问答情景补全所缺单词。这两个练习对于学生巩固本单元词汇和理解课文都有很大帮助。第三个练习是根据语篇内容选择时的词语填空,巩固复习本单元部分生词和短语。语法部分采用了先发现后应用的学习方法,先让学生比较几组句子,然后设置了三组练习,一是区分省略句和完整句,并分析其有略之处。另一个是根据省略的规律简化句子,请学生“化繁为简”,目的是让学生体会语言简洁的重要性。最后一个练习让学生找出被省略的部分,这有利于培养学生准确把握句子含义的能力。语法部分提出了一个语言学习中值得注意的问题:什么是正确的句子? 什么是好的句子?
“语言运用”(Using language)部分综合训练学生听、说、读、写的能力,共设两部分:Reading and discussing部分讲了一个真实的故事。17岁的John Janson和其他9人采取果断的急救措施,挽救了Anne Slade的生命。文章后设置了四个练习:前两个练习针对阅读材料本身,后两个练习则注重于对文中的人物和事件进行讨论。读者不仅可以通过本文学到如何对被刺伤的人实施急救,还会被John Janson 的机智、勇敢和爱心深深打动。同时表达了这样的主题:A simple knowledge of first aid can make a real diffenence. Listening,speaking and writing部分有机结合在一起。听力材料是一个关于急救知识的小测验,急救老师问,学生回答。本部分设置四个练习:第一个只要求学生抓住老师提问的话题;第二个要求学生根据所听内容把4张图片安先后顺序排序。第三个练习要求学生两人一组讨论所听内容并完成表中急救知识的填写;练习四借助图片,讨论如何进行急救,并要求学生把急救措施写下来。
“小结”(Summing up) 部分要求学生就急救知识、词语和结构三方面进行自我评价,判定学习情况。
“学习建议”(Learning Tip) 部分主要就写作进行指导,建议学生研究authentic texts的组成部分、句子结构和词语的使用,为今后的写作提供丰富的模仿材料。其中,以本单元First aid treatment为例,写作时需要考虑:1.标题;2.祈使句;3.省略句; 4.急救措施的先后顺序。
“趣味阅读”(Reading for fun) 部分提供了一些与健康有关的谚语,语言精练,内容有趣,又富有生活的哲理。有助于学生在体味英语语言特点的同时,领悟到身心健康的重要性。

IV.教学步骤:
Period 1 .Warming Up, Pre-reading
Teaching Goals: 1. To develop Ss’ ability in speaking and dealing with practical problems.
2. To help Ss know more about first aid.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1. Leading-in
Purpose: To activate Ss and arouse their interest in English study.
Raise some questions: All of us hope to have a healthy, safe and happy life. But often some accidents or illnesses unexpectedly happen to us.
Question1: Have you ever been ill or injured accidentally
Question2: Did someone else give help to you If so, what kind of help
Question3: Do you think the help necessary Why
(The answers can be various.)
Step 2. Warming Up
Purpose: To lead Ss to the topic of this unit.
1. Pair work
(1) Show six pictures about people who are injured. According to the following two questions, ask Ss to discuss them in pairs and then present them before the class.
Question1: What has happened in each of the pictures?
Question2: What should we do to help them before they are taken to hospital?
Suggested Answers:
Question1:
P1 A snake has bitten him on his leg.
P2 She has cut her arm with some broken glass and is bleeding badly.
P3 He has badly sprained his ankle.
P4 She is choking on a piece of food.
P5 She has broken her arm.
P6 He has a bleeding nose.
Question2:
P1 Snake bite: Lay the victim down and keep him/her still. Do not wash the venom off the skin (it will help identify the type of snake); do not try to suck out the venom; do not apply a tourniquet; do not elevate a bitten limb. Apply pressure to the bitten area with your hands and then, as soon as possible, with a bandage firmly over the bite. Keep the limb still with a splint (for the leg) and a sling (for the arm). Do not move the victim. Call medical help.
P2 Bleeding: Put a bandage on the wound and apply pressure to reduce the bleeding.
P3 Sprained ankle: Have the victim sit down and elevate the foot. Put an ice pack on the ankle to reduce the swelling. Put a firm bandage around the foot and ankle.
P4 Choking:If the person can cough (or speak or breathe), don't do anything.(If you slapped her on her back you could cause the piece of food to move and completely block the airway.)If he/she can't cough (or speak or breathe) and is turning blue in the face, hit him/her between the shoulder blades with the flat of the hand three or four times.(This might cause the piece of food to move and unblock the airway, or it might make her cough the piece of food out.)
P5 Broken arm: Do not move the broken bone if possible. Do not move the victim. Support the broken arm in the most comfortable position. Keep the arm still using a sling or get the victim to support the broken arm with the other arm. Get medical help immediately.
P6 Nose bleed: Get the person to sit down, tilt his/her head forward slightly and gently pinch the soft part of the nose below the bridge.
(2) Conclusion: As we all know, when someone suddenly falls ill or gets injured, the first kind of help we give them before a doctor can be found is very important . This kind of help is called First Aid. Giving first aid in time can save a person's life. In this unit, we will learn something about first aid.
2.Group work
(1) Show them a passage about ANIMAL BITES AND SCRATCHES.
As is known to us all, animal bites and scratches, even minor ones, can become infected and spread bacteria to other parts of the body. Whether the animal is a family pet or a creature from the "wild", scratches and bites can carry disease. Certain animals can transmit rabies and tetanus. Human bites that break the skin are even more likely to become infected.
(2) Get Ss to talk about the following questions in groups of four:
Questions1: Do you know some ways to prevent animal bites
Questions2: What should we do for a bite or scratch
Suggested Answers:
Questions1: (1) Never leave a small child alone with a dog or cat, even if it is puppy or kitten.
(2) Teach children not to tease an animal. Tell them not to wave sticks, throw stones or pull a tail.
(3) Do not move suddenly or scream around an animal. Don't rush up to a dog until you know for sure that it is friendly. Sudden movements and loud noises can scare animals and cause them to attack.
(4) Leave pet dogs and cats alone while they are eating or sleeping.
(5) Do not feed wild animals with your hands.
(6) Do not pick up a sick or injured animals.
(7) Do not run from a strange dog.
(8) Do not keep wild animals as pets.
(9) Wear heavy boots when walking in areas where snakes live.
Questions2: (1) If the bite or scratch wound is bleeding, apply pressure to the area with a clean bandage or towel until the bleeding stops. If available, use clean latex or rubber gloves to protect yourself from exposure to blood.
(2) Clean the wound with soap and water, and hold it under running water for at least 5 minutes. Do not apply an antiseptic or anything else to the wound.
(3) Dry the wound and cover it with sterile gauze or a clean cloth.
(4) Phone the doctor. The injured may need antibiotics, a tetanus booster, or a rabies vaccination. A bite or scratch on the hand or face is particularly prone to infection and should be evaluated by the doctor.
(5) If possible, locate the animal that inflicted the wound. Some animals may have to be captured, confined, and observed for rabies. Do not try to capture the animal yourself. Look in your phone book for the number of an animal control office or animal warden in your area.
(6) In the following situations, you should go to the nearest hospital:
A: the wound won't stop bleeding after 10 minutes of direct pressure.
B: the wound is more than 1/2 inch long or appears to be deep.
C: the attacking animal was wild (not tame) or behaving strangely.
(7) If a body part is severed, wrap the severed part in sterile gauze or a clean cloth and take it with you to the emergency department.
Step 3. Pre-reading.
Purpose: 1. To make a good preparation for the following passage.
2.To arouse the Ss’ interest in learning about first aid.
1.Situation description
A little child is playing in the kitchen. Suddenly, she pulled a pot of boiling water onto herself.
Questions1: What sort of injuries will the child have Describe it briefly.
Question2: What kind of first aid would you perform in this situation
Suggested Answers:
Question1: She will have bad burns.
Question2: The answers can be various.
(The teacher doesn’t tell students whether they are right or wrong until they find the right answer from the Reading part by themselves.)
2. Discussion
Write “causes and characteristics of burns” on the blackboard. Get Ss to discuss and present them before the class.
Words that can be used to describe the title are: red, white, black, watery, blisters, painful, swollen.
Period 2 Reading, Comprehending
Teaching Goals: 1. To develop Ss’ reading ability.
2.To learn something about dealing with burns practically.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1. Skimming
Purpose: To get a brief understanding of the text.
1. Ask Ss to read the title of the text and the headings in it and then ask them:
(1) What is the topic of the text
(2) How is the information organized
(3) How is the information organized within the heading of “types of burns and characteristics of burns”
(4) Why is the information under the heading of “First Aid Treatment” numbered
Suggested Answers:
(1) It’s about first aid for burns.
(2) The information is organized according to causes, types, characteristics and first aid treatment for burns
(3) The information is organized according to the types of burns: first degree, second degree and third degree burns.
(4) The numbers indicate the steps you should take to treat a burn, in the order that they should happen.
2. In which order are these topics in the text Number them from 1 to 5.
( ) the three types of burns.
( ) what to do if someone gets burned.
( ) the purpose of skin.
( ) the symptoms of burns
( ) how we get burns
Suggested Answers:
Right order: 3. 5. 1. 4. 2.
Step 2. Scanning
Purpose: To get Ss to have some details in the text.
Read the first aid treatments for those burns. Write R (right) or W (wrong) in the bracket. Then correct the wrong treatments.
(1) Sam knocked over a kettle full of boiling water onto his legs. His legs became red, swollen and covered with blisters. Sam broke the blisters and poured icy water from the fridge onto the skin.( )
(2) While ironing clothes, Miss Good accidentally touched the iron. Her wrist blistered and became watery. It hurt a lot. She put her wrist under the cold water tap and then kept placing cool, clean , damp clothes on it until it was less painful. Then she went to see the doctor.( )
(3) Mrs. Casey' sleeve caught fire while she was cooking. Her arm looked terrible but it didn't hurt. The skin was charred. Her husband took off her blouse and picked off bits of the blouse stuck to the burn. He then placed butter on the burn and covered it with a wet bandage. ( )
(4) After an hour in the sun, Lily noticed her arms were red and hurt a bit. She went home and put them under cool running water. ( )
Suggested Answers:
(1) (W) Sam shouldn't have broken the blisters because the burns could become infected. He should have poured cool water, not icy water on the burn .The correct treatment for a second degree burn like Sam's is described in the text.
(2) (R)
(3) (W) Mr. Casey was right to take his wife's blouse off but he should not have picked bits of blouse off the burn. This is because if you pull material that is stuck off a third degree burn like Mr. Casey's, you would pull the tissue under the material off too. This would cause more damage to the burn. He should not have put butter on the burn because it would have stopped the heat from escaping and it might also cause the burn to become infected. He should not have put a wet bandage on the burn. The correct first aid treatment for a third degree burn is to remove clothing and jewellery near the burn but not if the clothing is stuck to the burn. Do not put cold water on the burn. Place clean, dry clothes over the damaged area. Get the person to a hospital at once.
(4) (R)

Suggested Answers:
(1) C Gao Yuan is in greater danger of dying than the others because he is not breathing .He needs rescue breathing to start his breathing again.
(2) A The easiest place to check for a pulse is on either of the carotid arteries, which run down both sides of the neck.
(3) C
(4) A Before doing anything else, you need to make sure that the airway is open by clearing away anything in the mouth. If you checked to see if the person were breathing first, you might be extending the time that the person isn’t breathing. This would endanger his/her life to a greater extent than if you checked the airway straight away.
(5) B Third-degree burns are the most serious because all three layers of skin have been burnt.
(6) D You need to stop the burning process and the pain and reduce the swelling before taking her to the doctor. To do this, you would put her fingers under cool running water.
(7) D If you don't do anything, the person could bleed to death .You need to put a bandage on the wound and apply pressure to reduce the bleeding. Applying pressure is important. Plastic would not absorb the blood. You cannot wash the wound before the bleeding stops.
(8) A If she can cough or speak or breathe, you shouldn't do anything. If you slapped her on her back you could cause the piece of food to move and completely block the airway. You would slap her between the shoulder blades if she couldn't cough (or speak or breathe)and was turning blue in the face. This might cause the piece of food to move and unblock the airway, or it might make her cough the piece of food out.
(9) B To stop the bleeding she should sit down, bend her head forward slightly and gently pinch the soft part of the nose below the bridge. If she bent her head backwards, the blood would run down her throat and possibly make her sick.
(10) D It’s important for the victim to sit down, keep his foot up, for example, on another chair, and have an ice pack on his ankle to reduce the swelling. He mustn't use his foot. It’s good idea to then put a firm bandage around the foot and ankle. Warm cloths could be put on the ankle only after the first 24 hours.
(11) C 120 is the emergency phone number for the ambulance; 110 for police station; and 119 for fire station.

2. Conselidate the grammar.
Period 4 Using language.
Teaching Goals:
1. To develop the Ss’ ability in reading, speaking, listening and writing.
2. To get Ss to know more about first aid.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1. Reading and comprehending
1.Warming Up
Purpose: To lead Ss to the topic.
Ask Ss to answer the following question. Let Ss speak their own mind and lead them to the reading passage.
Question: if you happen to find a person who is bleeding badly, what will you do
2. Skimming
Purpose: To make Ss have a brief understanding of this passage.
Read the newspaper article by yourselves and then put the following events in the order that they happened.
_____ The attacker ran away.
_____ Anne was attacked and started to scream.
_____ John performed first aid on Anne.
_____ John was studying in his house.
_____ The ambulance arrived.

Suggested Answers: 4. 2. 6. 1. 7. 3. 5
3. Scanning and discussing.
Purpose: To make the students find something in details.
In groups discuss and answer the following questions.
(1) What first aid did John perform on Anne
(2) What adectives would you use to describe John’s actions Give at least three.
(3) Do you think John was silly or brave to get involved in the situation Give your reasons.
(4) Would you have done the same as John Give your reasons.
(5) Do you think it is worthwhile to take a course in first aid Give your reasons.

Step 4. Writing

A woman lost consciousness and has stopped breathing. The pictures can direct you to help him breathing again Write the measurements in details.
One possible version:
I will perform the first aid in eight steps. Before I do rescue breathing, the first, I will check whether the person is unconscious. Gently shake her by the shoulders. If she doesn’t respond, she’s unconscious. The second, I will put her in the recovery position. First place her arm straight out on the ground and bend her other arm across her chest. Bend the near leg up and then roll her away onto her side. Tilt her head backwards a bit so that any liquid can run out of her mouth and her tongue can fall forward. The third, I will check if the airway-the passage from the mouth to the lungs-is open. And then clear anything away from the inside of the mouth with my finger. The fourth, I will check if she can breath. See if her chest is rising and falling. Also I will place my cheek close to her face and listen and feel for air coming from the nose and mouth. If she is not breathing, I will have to start rescue breathing. This is the fifth step: roll her onto her back and squeeze her nose with my fingers to stop air coming out of it. I should place my mouth completely over the victim’s mouth and keep her head tilted and blow into her mouth for one and a half to two seconds. Watch her chest rise and then fall. Take another breath and blow into her mouth again. The sixth, I will check her pulse on the side of her neck. If there is a pulse, check her breathing. The seventh, if there is still no breathing, continue the rescue breathing at 15 breaths a minute. After about one minute, I will check the pulse and breathing again and continue this process until the victim begins to breathe on her own or medical help arrives. The last step, when she is breathing on her own again, I will put her in the recovery position.
