Unit 17 Great Women 浙江省黄岩中学 王精红 王晨溢 陈佩君 丁瑛 毛海晨 冯丽红 许威 教材分析 本单元中心话题是“伟大女性”。谈论了普通女性, 着重介绍了世界上不同民族、不同领域中的非凡(杰出)女性及其成就。各部分的内容都是围绕这一中心话题而进行设计的。 “热身”(Warming up) 部分呈现四幅杰出女性的照片,引出杰出女性这一话题。 要求学生说出她们的姓名及主要成就,然后通过提问和讨论,让学生了解杰出女性取得辉煌的成就必须付出艰辛这个道理,并以此激励自己。在这阶段的语言实践中可培养学生概述人物特征的能力。 “听力”(Listening)部分的内容就是一则对话,谈论old school photos 中的人物及其过去和现状。要求学生根据材料,正确记录所谈及的人物的特征、专长及现状并对陈述的句子进行正误判断。让学生通过“听”学习描述人物的形容词,为后面的“口语”部分打下基础。“口语”(speaking) 由两部分组成。一是看图描述人物,呈现了三幅不同身份女性的照片,要求学生根据照片对人物进行描述,训练学生恰当使用形容词描述人物品质的能力。二是小组活动,一个学生想出一个著名女性人物,其他学生轮流提问并通过对方回答内容推断该著名女性人物是谁,本活动旨在活跃学生思维和课堂气氛。 读前(pre-reading)部分设计了四个问题,分别是有关南极探险,南北极地理知识及两极著名动物知识,通过讨论扩大学生知识面,并为下一步阅读提供背景资料。 “阅读”(reading)部分是一位女性独自一人在南极探险的故事,讲述了“我”怎样以顽强的意志战胜困难,脱离险境。这篇文章以生动的事实教育学生要在逆境中奋起,从而培养学生耐挫的良好品格。 “读后”(Post-reading)部分设计了两种练习。第一部分是针对文章的理解,检测学生对文章理解的程度。第二部分是学生评价文中的人物,旨在培养学生概括能力,同时渗透了德育内容。 语言学习(Language Study)分词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分设计了10个语境,帮助学生加深对新词汇的理解和记忆,训练学生在语境中理解词汇的能力。指导学生养成通过语境记忆词语的方法。本单元的语法项目是主谓一致。主要是群体名词作主语的用法。如果群体名词指整体概念,谓语动词用单数形式;如指个体成员时,谓语动词用复数形式。具体包括三个步骤:1.主谓一致的语法规律和例子;供学生自主学习并探究群体名词主谓一致的变化规律。2.机械性操练,用动词的适当形式填空,检验学生自主学习的结果,强化群体名词一致规律的掌握。3.不定代词的人称指代。 学习技能(Integrating Skills)部分包括读、说、写三种,其中读说结合,通过阅读和讨论,掌握用典型事例刻画人物性格特征的写作手法,了解成功女性应具备的条件和品质,进一步培养概括能力和描写能力。叙述人物时做到观点与材料相统一,善于用具体生动的事例去表现人物。随后提供范文,要求学生会写fan letters,旨在让学生运用写作方法。 学习建议(Tips)部分向学生提供了如何描写人物的一些建议。旨在帮助学生了解描写人物的框架及文体特点。学会用生动具体的实例去表现人物,刻画人物的特点,从而培养学生的英语写作能力。 课时安排 Teaching Plan for Unit 17 Great Women 1.Warming up, Listening and Speaking (1)Listening (2)Speaking (3)Listening in Work Book 2.

Step 1 Warming up In March, there is an important international festival. Ask and answer: Qs: 1.What festival is it? (Women’s Day)(show a picture of Women’s Day) 2.Is there Men’s Day? (No) 3.Why is there a special festival for women?(In the old time, women were looked down upon and badly treated. By creating this festival, the government just intends to raise the women’s position in society.) 5.What do you think of your mother?(patient, hard-working, kind, caring, careful, etc.) Most ordinary women like our mothers have such excellent qualities. They are worth respecting. 6.What about girls?(lovely, charming, cheerful, etc.) Step 2 Pre-listening Look at the photos of four girls-- Lily, Rose, Jane and Sandra. They are Alice’s old school friends. Everyone has their school days. It gives us great pleasure to look at the old school photos and talk about the old school friends. Now let’s share the pleasure with Alice and the other women. Step 3 While-listening Tell the students that they will be listening to a dialogue of two young women. Alice tells Lucy about her old school friends. For Part 1, the students have to listen carefully to the descriptions that Alice gives of four of her classmates: Lily, Rose, Jane and Sandra. Look at the three questions in the chart and make sure that they understand what they should listen for.(This listening material can be divided into four parts for the four girls. The students can listen to each part twice, and then check the answers at once.) For Part 2, students should listen carefully to the descriptions of the four women, the relations between them and Alice and their qualities. They have to fill in the blanks with the correct words.(The students should listen to the material as a whole, and then check the answers.) Step 4 Post-listening Well done! From the listening material, we have got some useful expressions to describe women and girls. Now let’s make a list of adjectives for describing them. The adjectives can be positive or negative. Boys give a list of positive words and girls try to give a list of negative words. Let’s see who can give as many as possible. positive negative strong smart honest friendly warm kind cheerful popular generous pretty hard-working pretty charming helpful optimistic warm-hearted talented learned fashionable naive caring patient responsible patient weak stupid lazy dishonest mean tense cold unkind dull cunning cruel cross cold-hearted selfish Step 5 Picture-talking Show Picture 1 and ask: 1.What can you see in the picture? 2.What does she look like? 3.What kind of woman do you think she is? Ask individual students for details. Then the teacher give suggested answers, emphasizing the adjectives and useful expressions used to describe women. Suggested answers: Photo 1: There is a woman in an office. She’s about middle-aged and dressed in a gray jacket. She’s talking on the phone. She is holding a pen in her right hand to write down some information from the phone call. The desk she is working at is perhaps a reception desk. There’s a pile of papers on her left. There’s also a bag with sunflower seeds. There’s an empty chair beside her with what looks like a computer. There are some plants on the window sill. The woman seems to be a hard-working person. You can see that she’s very careful, because she is listening attentively, and has a pen and writing pad ready to make notes. I don’t think people like her are unfriendly, but she may be a bit cold. She could be a manager or an office worker. Step 6 Gathering Ask students to gather expressions used to describe this woman. 1.The woman seems to be … 2.I don’t think people like her… 3.She may be….. 4.She could be…. 5.I can see that… Besides, more expressions can be used for describing a woman. Individual students can brainstorm them, or they are presented directly by the teacher if it is difficult. 6.She seems to me to be the kind of woman who … 7.The impression (that) she makes on me is…. 8.I think she is the kind of person who …. 9.She looks as if…. 10.She doesn’t seem… Step 7 Group work. Show Picture 2 and 3. Get the students to describe them, making use of the adjectives and useful expressions. Remind the students that it is not important to describe these people as they really are, but what impressions they have of them. They may refer to the questions below: 1.What can you see in the picture? 2.What does she look like? 3.What kind of woman do you think she is? 4.What could she be? Work in groups and have a discussion. After the discussion, the leader reports. Then the teacher gives the suggested answers: Photo 2: There’s a girl using a mobile phone. She’s wearing a red jacket. I can’t see her face very well. From the way she’s dressed, I think she’s perhaps a cheerful and friendly person. She might be a student. Photo3: In Photo 3, there’s a mother feeding her baby. The baby is sitting in a special chair. The impression she makes on me is that of a woman who is friendly, caring and warm. Step 8 Listening You see, ordinary women have different personalities. They play an important role in different fields. Among them, some have made efforts to allivate poverty in their communities to make life better. The Women’s World Summit awards special prizes to these people, like Mrs Adetona and Mrs Zeng. Listen to the tape and hear how they earned their prizes. Suggested answers: 1.Why do some women get the award that is talked about? Women may get the award when their ideas or work have helped to make life better in their villages. 2.How has Mrs Adetona helped women in her village? Mrs Adetona has helped women in her village (get loans) to start small businesses. 3.Why was Mrs Adetona’s work important? Mrs Adetona’s work was important because with her help now more than a thousand people can take care of their families and send their children to school. 4.What did Mrs Zeng teach women in her village? Write down two things. Mrs Zeng taught the villagers 1)how to plant potatoes, 2)how to take care of sheep and 3) how to take care of the environment by planting trees on the hills around the village. 5.What happened to Mrs Zeng in 2002? In 2002 Mrs Zeng was chosen to be one of the village leaders. Step 9 Summary Today we’ve done some listening and speaking, especially we have learned to describe people. Homework Divide the students into four groups to collect information about these great women: Song Qingling, Madam Curie. Pearl S Buck, Mother Teresa, including their family and achievements. 相关网址 ①www. english.upenn.edu/ ②www.orlok.com/pearl/pbph7.html/ ③www.achievement.org ④www. ceemast.csupomona.edu/nova/curie.html ⑤www. nobel.se/peace ⑥www. ewtn.com/motherteresa Period 2 Talking Goals: 1.To encourage students to express their admiration for famous women and their achievements. 2.Make the students know the fact that women should get the same opportunities as men in different fields. Step 1 Lead-in Yesterday we learned to describe women. Most women are ordinary women, like our mothers, aunts or sisters. However, they play an important part in our life. It has often been said that women hold up half sky. In this half sky there are some shining stars—outstanding women. Some have become very famous, but we cannot say that all outstanding women are famous. However, they are all great women. Today, we just learn about some great women. Step 2 Picture-talking Show the pictures of Song Qingling, Madam Curie, Pearl S Buck and Mother Teresa. Ask the students the question: What kind of people do you think they are? Get them to use the useful expressions to describe them. Step 3 Group work Yesterday you were asked to search the Internet for information about them. Now you have a discussion in groups, and then your leader should give us a report. Your report may cover these questions: 1.Who were they? 2.When did they live? 3.Where were they from? 4.What kind of work did they do? 5.What are they known for? Suggested answers: Song Qingling married Dr Sun Zhongshan in 1915. She was the vice-president of the People’s Republic for many years. She busied herself with various welfare activities, ranging from heading the women’s Federation to a number of committees involving (orphaned) children. Maria Curie (1867-1934) was born in Poland, moved to Paris and studied chemistry and physics there. She married Pierre Curie and together they studied radioactive materials and discovered radium. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Her death in 1934 was almost certainly due to radiation in her work. Pearl S.Buck(1892-1973) was born in the USA but grew up in Zhejiang Province after her parents moved to China in 1895. She first learnt Chinese and was later taught English. From 1910 to 1914 she studied in America and then returned to China. In 1931 she wrote her best-known novel, The Good Earth. She won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1938. Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997) was a world famous Catholic nun. From the age of 18 she worked in India to help the poor. For more than 20 years she took care of people who were often mentally or physically disabled. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. In 2003, she was honoured with the name of Blessed Teresa. Step 4 Game Besides these four great women, there must be more great women who really inspire you. Let’s play a game. Student A thinks of a famous woman, comes to the blackboard, writes the name on a piece of paper and folds it so that it can’t be seen. One of the other students begins by asking questions about her. Student A may only answer “yes” or “no”. If the answer is “yes”, the student can ask more questions. If the answer is “no”, another student gets a chance to ask questions. Keep asking questions until you know who she is. Example: B:Is she Chinese? A:Yes, she is. B:Is she a famous actress? A:No, she isn’t. C:Is she good at sports? A:Yes, she is. C:Has she ever been a world champion? A:Yes, she is. C:Does she play table tennis? A:Yes, she does. C:Is her name Deng Yaping? A:Yes, it is. Some possible great women: Deng Yaping, Miss Nightingale, Helen Keller, Madam Thatcher, Marilyn Monroe, Wu Zetian, Zhao Wei etc. Step 5 Pre-talking As we all know, there are many famous women in all fields, including politics, science, literature and peace. All these fields were usually occupied by men. But it has proved that women can do as well as men. They have got many prizes and achieved fame and fortune. Fans, flowers and applause are all around them. What we have seen is their success and their fame. Ask questions : 1.Do you admire them? Why? 2.Is it easy for them to reach their achievements? 3.What qualities have made them stand out? Fame and achievements never come easy. In addition to that, the career of women is often less smooth than that of men. They have to overcome obstacles. It has often been said that life is difficult as it is. For women it sometimes seems twice as difficult. 4.Was it more difficult in the past? In the old time, girls used to be looked down upon. They didn’t learn to read or write. When they got married, what women were expected to learn was how to “catch” husbands and then to keep them happy by running a comfortable home. They couldn’t go out to work. In modern times, great changes have taken place. Please turn to Workbook Page 95 Talking. Look at the graph. Step 6 Role Play The graph shows us that the number of women taking part in higher education in China is actually very high. And their members are on the rise. So if women get out of school with a high level of education, why is it difficult for them to get high-level jobs? Suppose you are all members of a group that must decide who will be the new manager in the department store where you work. A woman has applied for this job and you discuss whether she can get the job or not. There are five roles: 1)First, there is the boss of the company. 2)Second, there is the manager who is leaving. It is his job that the woman wants to take. 3)Third, there is a colleague who will have to work together with the manager. 4)Fourth, there is a worker. The new manager will be his or her boss. 5)Finally, there is the owner of the company who will help the others to make a decision. The students will be divided into groups of five. In each group, there are five roles. The role of the fifth student is the owner of the company who will help the others make the best decision. The boss will start the discussion. Later, ask one group to act it out. Example: B: Okay. As we all know M, the manager here will leave next month. So our company will hire a new staff member. We have received many letters from men and women who would like to take this job. In this meeting, we hope to make a decision whom to give the job. M, maybe you can say something first. M: OK. Well, we all know that my job is no easy one. Therefore we are looking for somebody who is responsible and has good communication skills. There is no need to say that we are looking for somebody who is hard-working and loyal to our company. I think the person for this job must be good at dealing with people and he or she must be a real team worker. The job is difficult because sometimes there can be conflicts between staff. You have to be a strong kind of person and hold a firm stand. B: Well. Together with the owner of the company, we have already looked at most letters and made some choices. Manager of this department is an important job in our company and that’s why I want that person to be a strong and inspiring personality. Qualities that the right person for this job should have are that he or she is friendly and warm, but also strong and smart. We are now left with two, a man and a woman. I would like to hire the man, because I think a man will do this job better. But the woman has better qualifications and although she does not have as much work experience as the man. It looks as if she could do the job well. The owner of the company has said, well maybe he can explain himself. O: Yes. I have no preference for myself. I believe both the man and the woman could do the job very well. The things, however, I would like all of you to consider are: 1. It might be good if we had more female managers in our company, so the management team could learn more from different experiences, and 2. Most staff that the new manager has to work with are women. I know there never were any problems with X, but I have also heard that some colleagues in the department would welcome a woman in this position. We are here to hear their opinion, before making a decision. C: Well, many of our colleagues are women and they do their jobs just as well as the men. I think it could be either a man or a woman, though I prefer we choose a woman. It is very pleasant to work with different people and because there are already so many men working as managers in the company, it might be a good idea to hire the woman. M: Qualities that the right person for this job should have are that he of she should be honest, strong and hard-working. And as far as I can see, both men and women can have all these qualities. The most important thing is that the job gets done. C: Sure. Maybe men and women have different ways to solve problems, but we should not say that it isn’t a good thing. I’m sure a female manager will hold her stand in conflicts and can be strong. W: I haven’t met this person. I’m not sure whether we should take a man or a woman. I suppose if both are equal in many ways, I agree with the owner that we should take a woman. In some ways it would be easier for female staff to talk to a female manager. She might understand some problems better. I believe that women should get the same opportunities provided that she is well qualified and possesses the qualities we feel are needed. On the other hand I am sure that if everybody feels that the man is the better of the two, then we should decide to take him. B: Well, that should not make any difference. I think the person for this job could either be a man or a woman. The qualities that the right person for this job should have are to treat all staff, men and women equally. … Step 6 Summary Today we’ve learnt something about some great women in the world. From what we’ve learnt we can understand that women are equal to men. If we want to succeed, we must work hard. Just as Madam Curie says: “Life is not easy for any of us. We must work, and above all must believe in ourselves. We must believe that each of us is able to do something well and that, when we discover what this something is, we must work hard at it until we succeed.” Homework 1.Extended reading---Read four passages about Song Qingling, Madam Curie, Pearl S Buck, Mother Teresa to get more information. 2.Search the Internet for facts about Antarctica and Arctic. Period 3 Reading Goals: 1.Train the students’ basic reading ability by getting to know something about a famous woman named Helen Thayer. 2.Let students have strong wills and determination if they set their goals. Step 1 Lead-in Show some pictures of winter scenery, the North Pole and the South Pole, etc. While asking and answering, the teacher should present some new words. Ask Qs: 1. Are they beautiful? 2.Is it cold or hot? 3.Where is the coldest place? (The North Pole and the South Pole/Antarctica) 4.What countries are part of the North Pole and South Pole? Countries that are part of the North Pole: Norway, Sweden, Russia, Finland, The USA, Canada, Greenland, Denmark Countries that are part of the South Pole: Chile, Argentina, South America, Australia, New Zealand 5.What’s the weather like there?

Polar bears live on the North Pole while penguins live only on the South Pole. Step 2 Pre-reading 1.Do you want to go there and have a look at these animals with your own eyes? 2.If you want to go there, what will you take with you? Why?(While asking and answering, teaching some new words and expressions.) 1)warm clothes 2)dark sun-glasses 3)ski/snowshoe 4)tent (put…up for shelter) 5)sled (pull… dogs) 6)ice pick 7) matches. 8)maps 9)stove 10)backpack 3.What doesn’t need to be brought?

The person should be strong, young, energetic, healthy and brave. The person should have a strong will, great courage and determination. It’s clear to see that being in Antarctica alone is a dangerous journey of challenge. Can you imagine a woman of 60 years old making a solo expedition in Antarctica? The woman is called Helen Thayer.(呈现图像) Step3 Skimming Task 1 Now please read the text fast to find out: Did Helen Thayer finish her solo expedition?

On Nov 12, I celebrated my birthday in a special way. During my expedition, I came across some accidents: I once dropped out from under my skis and fell into a hole; I couldn’t stand on my left leg and my head was woozy from hitting the ground and so on.

Step 5 Extended reading Read the passage about Helen Thayer--First Woman to Solo Any of the World’s Poles in order to get more information about her extreme travel to the North Pole.(show a picture of Helen Thayer with her faithful dog called Charlie.) Helen Thayer --First woman to Solo Any of the World’s Poles Helen Thayer, born and educated in New Zealand enjoyed a lengthy career as an international discus thrower, representing three countries, New Zealand, the country of her birth, Guatemala, where she lived for almost four years with her husband Bill, a helicopter pilot, and then the United States. Later in 1975 she won the USA national luge championship, gained All American honours and represented the USA in luge competition in Europe. She was a cross country ski racer and instructor, a kayak racer, high altitude mountain climber and climbing instructor. She climbed the highest mountains in New Zealand, (Mount Cook), North America, (Mount McKinley), former Soviet Union, (Peak Lenin and Peak Communism). She also climbed in Mexico, and China, in addition to a multitude of the highest peaks in the rugged Cascade Mountains where she and Bill live in the Cascade foothills. In 1988 Helen and her husband Bill, decided to create a series of educational projects for students K to 12 throughout the world. The first project would be a journey to the North Pole. It was the barren islands, the hardy plant life, the arctic animals which have adapted to one of the world harshest climates and the sea ice which Helen would have to travel across that made her realize that this would be the place to begin the educational programs. Polar bears were her special fascination and she was not to be disappointed. This is home to one of the largest populations of Polar bears in the world. In 1988, at the age of 50, Helen decided to walk alone to the North Pole without the aid of aircraft, dog teams or snow mobiles. She was totally unsupported. She walked and skied, pulling her own 160 pound sled filled with all her supplies. Her only companion was Charlie, a black Canadian Eskimo Husky. Charlie’s only job was to walk at Helen’s side to protect her from polar bears. He did his job well. He saved her life at least once. They were confronted by seven polar bears, one at a time, throughout the almost month- long journey of 364 miles. Helen made her way around the entire North Pole area. She began on March 30 and finished on April 27. It was a long and lonely journey. Helen’s expedition was the only one going to the magnetic North Pole in 1988, therefore she had no warning of the ice conditions which lay ahead of her. Then she wrote a book about her journey to the Pole titled Polar Dream with a foreword by Sir Edmund Hillary, published in the USA by Simon& Schuster. Helen traveled most of the journey across the sea ice photographing and taking notes as she went. Because the North Pole is constantly in motion, she traveled to the area of the Pole. The Canadian Geological Survey gives expeditions, air charter services and scientists the yearly coordinate of the Pole which is the approximate center of a large area. When Helen arrived in the area of the Pole she traveled a roughly triangular path throughout the area. Although it meant walking and skiing many more miles it was only by walking around the area that Helen could photograph and describe in her educational program, the various islands of the North Pole. After she returned home her first job was to gather her photographs and notes into a programme of education for students K to 12. The educational programme has reached students in 38 countries. To date Helen has spoken to more than 450,000 students in schools, classrooms and school conventions. Polar Dream is an adult book but is also popular in classrooms as a study project. Not only is the book the real life story of this historical journey but it is a factual account of this interesting place close to the top of the world. And it is the story of a faithful dog called Charlie who traveled at Helen’s side watching for polar bears. Charlie went home with Helen and lives with three other dogs, 4 goats and two donkeys. He runs with the Thayer’s daily hikes and climbs mountains. He truly enjoys a life of luxury. As Helen will tell you, “What Charlie wants, Charlie gets” Ask and answer some questions: 1.What did she do? 2.How many high mountains did she climb? 3.Why did she decide to make the journey to North Pole? Did her husband support her? 4.Who was her only companion on the journey? How did it help her? 5.What has become of her companion? 6.In what way did she travel throughout the area of the North Pole? Why? 7.Did she finish her journey? How long did it last? 8.What book did she write about her journey to the North Pole? Suggested answers: 1. She enjoyed a lengthy career as an international discus thrower. She was a cross country ski racer and instructor, a kayak racer, high altitude mountain climber and climbing instructor. 2. She climbed the highest mountains in New Zealand, (Mount Cook), North America, (Mount McKinley), former Soviet Union, (Peak Lenin and Peak Communism).
