1高三语文将进酒说课稿 新课标

(新疆石河子148团一中高三李秀兰2010.12.26)

一、本诗在教材中的地位及特点

高三对诗歌的学习不能仅限于读懂而要鉴赏。李白是唐代诗坛上的一座高峰,他的诗飘逸豪放,语言流转自然,摇曳多姿,他的古体诗和七绝尤为后人所称道。《将进酒》是一首鲜明体现诗人创作风格的劝酒诗,李白饮酒悲歌,一吐心中块垒,既有治国齐家的理想,又有怀才不遇的苦闷,但李白傲世的态度和豪放不羁的个性又使全诗悲而不伤,忧而不愁。蕴涵其中的开阔与旷达打动人心而又引人思考。无论是从提高个人的修养角度来讲,还是从备战高考的角度来说,李白的诗都是很好的例子。

二、学生情况分析:

1,通过高二诗歌单元的学习,我发现学生对诗歌有初步的了解,懂得理解诗词一方面要从诗词的内容出发,即分析诗词的内容美,另一方面也分析诗词的形式美。这节课就要以《将进酒》为例学习古典诗词如何把内容美和形式美二者有机结合。

2,由于诗词存在含蓄性和跳跃性,学生对欣赏诗词还有很多的胆怯之处,所以先打消学生这种畏惧心理。

三、教学目标:

知识目标:

1体会诗人感情的起落,感受诗人充实深厚的内在情感及潜在的郁怒情绪。

2体会李白诗歌夸张的艺术手法。能力目标:

1培养学生声情并茂,准确传达情感的朗读能力。

2培养学生筛选信息,抓住关键词语进行分析的能力。

德育目标:培养学生勇于发表自己见解的勇气。

教学重点:把握诗歌整体,体味诗人感情的跌宕起伏。

教学难点:发表对李白痛饮狂歌的见解,从而加深学生对诗歌主旨的理解。

四、教学方法教学手段的运用

在朗读成诵的基础上进行讨论分析是我上这节课的指导思想,在教学方法的选用上主要体现这一点。在和学生共同鉴赏时先让学生通过听读、朗读、带着问题读这些方式使学生在整体上进行充分的感知,在突破学习目标的鉴赏中力图结合时代背景体会情感、感受形象。在教学中充分调动学生积极性,采用朗读、讨论、质疑这些方式使学生动口动脑。教学手段是多媒体。

五、学习方法的指导和学习习惯的培养

对学生学法的指导和习惯的培养是学生走向自主学习的根本途径,因此本节诗歌教学也十分注重学法的渗透:1通过强调朗读加强学生读的意识,尤其是诗歌这一体裁。2李白其人及其诗歌学生略知一二,通过让学生自己查找相关资料而培养学生的动手能力,并加深学生对诗人的了解和对作品的理解。

六、教学过程

(一)导入:在高二年我们学习了李白作品《梦游天姥吟留别》,在那篇文章中,作者采用了卒章显志的手法,结尾处直抒胸臆:安能摧眉折腰事权贵,使我不得开心颜。表达了自己对权贵的蔑视。这堂课我们来学习诗仙李白的另一作品《将进酒》在这篇文章中作者也表达了同样的主题:对权贵的蔑视。不过李白在这篇文章是借劝酒为名,一吐心中块垒,一生诗酒相伴,“李白一斗诗百篇”而又“举杯销愁愁更愁”。大济苍生而又处处碰壁的李白有悲叹,有忧愁,但李白毕竟是李白,他的悲愁不是李煜“恰似一江春水向东流”的哀愁,不是李清照“才下眉头,却上心头”的怨愁,也不是贺铸“一川烟草,梅子黄时雨”的闲愁,李白的忧愁中有达观,李白的忧愁中有豪放,《将进酒》就是酒助诗兴,笔酣墨饱的豪放之作。

说明:《将进酒》是鲜明表现诗人个性的劝酒诗,导入时将诗和酒联系起来,既关照了全诗内容,又感受了诗人饮酒悲歌的形象,更主要的是突出李白的悲而不伤,忧而不愁的开阔、旷达,对李白的个性风格有一个初步的感受。

(二)多媒体展示配乐朗诵,同时,展示于本诗相关的画面,如李白狂歌图、黄河奔流图等。

说明:朗读诗语文学习的重要方法之一,新教材也非常重视诵读和背诵,朗读录音声情并茂的示范朗读,让学生整体感知又将学生带入诗歌的情境和感情中。

(三)学生准备后,指明朗读诗歌

(四)师生研讨,完成教学目标

一、疏通文章大意

1、先分析文章的形式美:

〈1〉 了解文章大开大合的结构

〈2〉 学习文章变化多端的语言形式

〈3〉 熟悉文章夸张的艺术手法

诗人好用夸张写法,这和他的浪漫气质和狂放性格有关,所以不使人感到言过其实,试从这首诗中举几个例子加以说明。

说明:诗中有些夸张写法是凭借数字来表现的,例如:“一饮三百杯”表现豪爽,用“斗酒十千”表现酒价的昂贵,用“万古愁”表现愁的深广;有些则属于感觉的夸大啊,如“黄河之水天上来”极言黄河源头之高,“朝如青丝暮成雪”极言人生短促。诸如此类的夸张句都有力地说明诗人横放杰出,用词大胆,他人莫及,也表现了他那豪放飘逸的诗风。

2、再先分析文章的内容美:

〈1〉 找出《将进酒》一文中体现作者的感情变化的语句。

说明:开头四句是写悲,感叹流光易逝,“人生”以下六句写欢,体现作者的豪情壮志,“钟鼓”以下六句写愤激之情,结尾句写狂放之情,〈2〉,阅读全文,找出文章的主旨句,试比较本文的主旨句与〈梦游天姥吟留别〉一文中主旨句异同

(五)拓展迁移:诗圣杜甫不赞成李白饮酒过多,曾写到:“痛饮狂歌空度日,飞扬跋扈为谁雄。”你对李白痛饮狂歌有什么看法。

(六)再次指名朗诵全诗

说明:学生在分析理解的基础上,能更准确地把握诗人的形象,最后一次的朗读应是再现诗人形象最好的时机。

板书:

悲 欢 愤激豪放

2.向快乐和幸福出发说课稿新 篇二

各位评委老师:上午好!很高兴有这样的机会向大家学习。今天我说课的课题是《向快乐与幸福出发》,对于今天的说课,我将从以下六个方面进行,一是说教材、二是说教法、三是说学法、四是说教学过程、五是说板书、六是说教学反思,以下我将做具体介绍。

一、说教材

(一)教材的地位和作用

我选用的教材是高等教育出版社出版的中等职业教育改革国家规划新教材,余国良主编的《心理健康》教材,此教材内容贴近中职生。旨在普及中职生心理健康知识,提高心理素质以及良好行为的养成。全书图文并茂、内容充实、生动活泼,具有很强的针对性、实效性、时代感。而此次说课的内容是成长篇中第三单元第12课《向快乐与幸福出发》,本课时是成长篇最后一篇,它是篇章的结尾,在本章书中占有重要的位置,它是认识自我快乐成长的必备知识,同时是上一课“做情绪的主人”的知识承接内容。本节课知识内容的学习使学生能够掌握正确合理的情绪调节方法,提高情绪适应的能力,以便以更佳的情绪状态投入到学习生活中,做一个健康快乐的中职生。

(二)教学目标

依据本教材结构和内容分析,结合高二年级学生的认知结构及心理特征,我采用了布鲁姆的三维目标,制定了以下目标:

1、知识与技能目标:认识阳光心情有助于身心健康和心理潜能的发展,掌握调节情绪的方法。

2、过程与方法目标:采用案例分析、小组讨论交流,体验法等方式,在分析案例,参与体验活动的过程中,掌握处理消极情绪、自我控制、自我修炼的有效方法。

3、情感态度与价值观目标:引导中职生建立乐观向上的积极情绪,生活中能够驾驭自己的情绪,提高自觉培养健康的心理品质和自我调节情绪的能力,做一个健康快乐的中职生。

设计意图:通过这样的三维目标明确教学预期,突出学生是课堂的主体。

(三)教学重难

针对本节课内容和学生特点,我将本节课的教学重点设定为:引导学生掌握合理的调适情绪的方法以及学会驾驭自己的情绪;学会换个角度看问题,教学难点:(1)帮助学生学会化解和修复负情绪;(2)破除用绝对化和过分概括化等非理性思维看问题的习惯。设计意图:之所以这样设计,是因为此知识点较抽象且学生之前没有接触过,无此方面的理论基础,学生难以理解掌握,因此需要教师带领学生突破难点,完成本节课的教学任务。

二、说教法

(一)学情分析

我授课的班级是高二年级中专57班学前教育专业,该班级是由傣族和哈尼族组成的女生班,思想活跃、善于思考问题,对课程的活动参与积极性高,学习主动性强,动手能力强,有很强的班级团队意识,并且对心理健康知识非常感兴趣。但近来班级的氛围比较浮躁,学生与学生间的关系有微妙的变化。据调查学生出此情况,主要有宿舍成员不打扫宿舍卫生,引起宿舍矛盾;班级参与学校技能比赛,参赛选手选拔冲突问题;自己的绘画原料莫名丢失等。所有问题堆积在一起,学生难以调适心里的烦恼,将自己的不良情绪堆积,找不到调适自己的情绪的方法,所以通过本课的学习,可以帮助学生找到情绪释放突破口,重新找寻快乐。

(二)说教法:

根据“以教师为主导,学生为主体”全面实施素质教育的基本要求,以及本班学生的学情分析,我使用的教学方法主要有:案例教学法、讨论交流法,体验法等,引导学生达成本节课教学目标。

【设计意图】:结合学生生活实际问题,教学案例引发学生深思,把在学习和生活中,遇到的情绪问题进行预防式教育。

三、说学法

有人说“现代的文盲不是不懂学的人,而是没有掌握学习方法的人”,因而我在教学中,注重学法指导。引导学生从“学会”转变为“会学”。在教学中,我注重学生集体讨论和情感体验相结合,鼓励学生说出自己的想法和观点,从而培养学生的自主学习能力。

【设计意图】:在小组讨论中充分发挥她们的学习积极性和兴趣,通过体验活动,让学生在轻松和活跃的课堂氛围下学习,引起学生的共鸣与反思。

四、说教学过程

教学流程及时间分配:本节课45分钟课程导入3分钟、分享快乐5分钟、寻找快乐18分钟、获得快乐心理体验13分钟、传递快乐3分钟、小结及作业布置3分钟。

教学过程: 课前准备

(1)班级成员分为5组,每组10人,围成圈坐好,教室布局左右各两组,教室中间偏后一组。

(2)教师准备一张1K设计好的板报

(3)每位同学准备一张彩色小卡片,卡片上制作出代表自己快乐心情的文字或绘画。

图片导入:

上课伊始,我便向学生展示两张图片,一张人人板着脸严肃的照片,一张人人微笑的照片,并提问学生:以上这两张图片你喜欢哪一张,为什么?学生纷纷表达自己的意见,我来引出每个人都希望快乐并幸福着,那么今天就让我们“向着快乐与幸福出发”来一个探寻快乐之旅。

【设计意图】:通过展示图片,有效唤起学生的注意,引发学生对追寻快乐的共鸣,导出新课。

学习新课:

(一)分享快乐

活动内容:快乐卡片

每个学生将自己提前准备好的快乐卡片在小组内分享,分享结束,在一首《欢乐颂》音乐声中将快乐卡片依次粘贴到教师准备的1K板报上。教师总结快乐是可以分享的,积极的情绪是有感染力的。这里给大家展示一小段活动视频。

【设计意图】:通过活动逐步导入新课内容,引发学生对快乐的感受,以及体验快乐心情能给自己带来什么。

(二)寻找快乐

1、在学生感受到快乐之后,我引出让我们来帮助一个心存烦恼的朋友找寻快乐,进入快乐之旅第二站,在“寻找快乐”这一站中,我设计了三个环节来引导学生探寻“寻找快乐”的方法。首先主要以心灵故事王晓荷的案例故事为主线,通过假设自己为王晓荷的同学,以帮助王晓荷寻找快乐为目的,进行的教学活动设计。主要流程有我先播放动画案例故事,之后提出问题故事中的王晓荷有什么样的情绪体验,以及产生此情绪的原因?(2)假如你是王晓荷的同学,你要怎么帮助王晓荷摆脱烦恼,找寻快乐?然后小组进行交流讨论,讨论完把观点整合,小组代表进行汇报。在汇报过程中,我将要点写在黑板副版上,方便之后归纳。【设计意图】:

通过直观性较强的视频展示案例,丰富课堂,吸引学生的注意力,本着帮助人的心理去完成任务,增强学习趣味性,让学生讨论,小组成员主动参与、积极发言、各抒己见,让学生真正成为教学的主体,最终集思广益,找出解决问题的方法。

2、在学生汇报完之后,我进入到第二个环节,我也来给王晓荷支支招,其实在我们生活中,也会遇到像王晓荷同学一样的事件,被众多的情绪包围,有喜有怒,有开心、快乐,也有焦虑、痛苦。那积极地情绪会成为我们获得幸福与成功的动力,消极的情绪使人心灰意冷、沮丧消沉,若不妥善处理,还可能严重危害身心健康。这样一段话的过渡,引出实际上情绪是可以调节的,调节情绪的方法有注意转移法,合理发泄法,理智调节法,合理化想法,主动寻求心理援助法,我在讲解调节情绪的方法的过程中,引用实际生活例子以及王晓荷的故事,进行讲解。对学生容易产生极端化想法的内容,进行解释,比如合理发泄法中,将不合理的发泄法以漫画的形式展示,帮助学生理解。理智调控法,从中带领学生破除用绝对化和概括化等非理性思维看问题的习惯,突破难点知识。对于难以理解的内容,进行细致讲解,比如说合理化想法中的酸葡萄心理、甜柠檬心理,通过引入伊索寓言故事帮助学生理解,其次在这里我加入一个活动,请学生品尝柠檬水活动,通过请学生品没加糖和加糖的柠檬水,以及提问假如加盐的柠檬水会怎么样,让学生感悟出其实要想快乐的生活,可以在生活中加入调味剂,当然看你加什么样的调味剂,可以是糖,也可以是盐,快乐是可以选择的,看你怎么选。为此引导学生可以把控制和调节情绪的方法当做调味剂,在生活中遇到不开心的事儿,加点调味剂,让自己的生活变得快乐。此部分内容的设计完成了教学目标,其次也突破了教学重难点。【设计意图】: 通过教师适时归纳重要知识点,侧重重难点突出讲解,帮助学生理解掌握,引导学生掌调节情绪的方法。

3、通过我的讲解,学生基本掌握了调节情绪的基本方法,此刻引入第三个环节,心灵交流。我鼓励学生敢于在组内与同学分享自己在成长过程中曾经发生过的情绪冲突事件,让组内同学为其摆脱消极情绪支支招。学生运用情绪调节方法帮助身边同学,可考察学生掌握情况。设计意图:考察学生学以致用能力。

(三)获得快乐心理体验

1、在学生掌握了控制和调节情绪的方法之后,我引入第三个环节获得快乐心理体验,这里有两个活动,创编故事和情绪面对面活动。首先进入到第一个活动创编故事,在这里我出示了老太太的烦恼故事的漫画,漫画中没有任何提示,只有人物情绪。然后请学生根据漫画自编自创故事,之后再请听故事的学生谈谈听完故事的感受。我归纳出:任何事情,换个角度想想,心情会不一样。这里给大家展示一小段上课视频。

【设计意图】创编故事的活动设计,结合了学前教育的专业优势将专业带入到课堂中,让学生体会到所学专业带给大家的乐趣,学生自主创编,把课堂交给学生,让学生主动思考,培养创新能力和发散性思维能力,学生再通过故事,感悟知识,达到教学目的。

2、之后我进入到第二个活动情绪面对面活动,在活动前说明活动规则:要求出10人参与游戏,5人一组围成内外套圈,内外圈人要求两两相对站好。要求一开始内圈同学当镜子,外圈同学当照镜子的人,外圈同学在老师的口令下做动作,动作要求有面部表情和肢体语言,我的口令是喜、怒、哀、惧。之后内圈的同学模仿外圈同学的动作,两个动作之后,互换角色。做完请同学们谈谈感受,参与的同学和没参与活动的同学纷纷发表意见后。教师归纳出:生活就像一面镜子,你笑它也笑,你哭它也哭,己所不欲勿施于人。要以一颗积极向上的心面对生活。这里给大家展示一小段上课视频。

【设计意图】情绪面对面活动的设计,让更多的同学参与到教学中来,融入到快乐的氛围之中,通过活动,真正让学生体验到快乐是可以选择的,看你怎么对它。

3、活动完成之后,课堂将进入尾声,那让老师来总结一下其实一个人想要快乐很简单,只要你去选择快乐,在生活中加入可口的调味剂,并且记住生活和学习中,凡事儿换个角度思考,你会发现原来事情没有你想的那么糟。试着去把自己的坏情绪修复好,试着尽可能的不用坏情绪去影响人,“己所不欲,勿施于人”,生活就像一面镜子,当你面对他时,你笑,生活笑,你哭,生活也会哭。试着去帮助其他人,试着将你的快乐传递开,你会发现快乐时刻就在你身边。

(四)传递快乐 《幸福快乐歌》

我说明今天的课达到尾声,我们用歌声去传递快乐,让我们一起歌唱幸福快乐歌,全体同学起立,请一位同学开头。

【设计意图】:在课堂结尾,以唱歌结束,起到升华的一个作用,可以让学生对本堂课印象深刻,相对应的对本堂课学到的知识产生催化效应,更好的吸收。也让学生明白让自己快乐了,才能传递快乐,传递快乐靠行动,做一个有爱、快乐的中职生。

(五)课后作业:

1、要求学生完成情境问卷,遇到这些问题,你该怎么办?(1)参报技能比赛自己准备了好久,却没被选上

(2)没打扫宿舍卫生与舍友吵了一架,舍友联合其他同学不与我交往(3)今天上课没回答出老师的问题,老师对你表现不满(4)妈妈心情不好,迁怒于你

2、结合“送人玫瑰,手有余香”及本节课学习的内容,谈谈本节课带给我的感悟与收获?

【设计意图】:本节课主要让学生掌握合理的情绪调节方法,提高情绪调适能力,向快乐出发。因此在评价学生情绪时,采用情绪检测法和自我评价法。在情绪检测法中,采用情境问卷法,通过设计一些与本班学生密切相关的问题情境检验学生对本堂课的掌握情况;在自我评价中,通过写学习本节课我的感与收获来考察。

五、说板书

一、分享快乐

二、寻找快乐

三、获得快乐心理体验

四、传递快乐

【设计意图】:通过直观系统的板书使课题内容脉络更加清晰,有趣的课题,吸引学生对整堂课的期待,有助于调动学生参与积极性,增强课堂氛围,进而帮助学生掌握知识。

Homework

4.Body language 说课稿(新课标版英语高一) 篇四

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。

复习要点(Checkpoint)简要总结了本单元的语法重点-主谓一致。并罗列了一些常用的群体名词供学生拓展使用。最后两个问题引导学生对本单元所学的词汇作一次小结,以增强学生自主探索的学习能力。

Teaching Plan

Period 1 Warming up, Listening and Speaking

Goals:

1.Train the students’ listening ability.

2.Master some words describing people and use them correctly.

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.)

4.What will you say to your mother?(Thank you)

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 ?

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

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-) 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 , 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.”

On November 1st, 1997, I began my solo travel to Antarctica in order to celebrate my 60th birthday. For the first days, the weather was very good and there was bright sunshine. But soon, the day was cold and stormy. I traveled slowly because of the bad weather. 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. However, I overcame those difficulties thanks to my training I had had. It is an experience I shall never forget and shall value for the rest of my life.

Step 8 Song.

Enjoy a song----- It’s A Long, Long Road To Travel Alone

I always thought I’d like to roam

One day I started alone

Out in this old wide wicked world

Away from friends and home

It’s a long long road to travel alone

And when the day is gone

No place to pillow my head at night

Only on the cold stone

I’ve traveled around from town to town

Now it’s time that I settled down

I’ve had my fill of rambling around

And now I am homeward bound

One day a letter came to me

And this is what it read

Come home my boy to the old homestead

Your father and mother are dead

It’s been a long road to travel alone

I wish I had never roamed

I thought I’d soon see my mother and dad

But now I am left alone

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). 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.

Step1 Game

In the last several periods, we’ve learned some new words. Let’s play a game:

Two students from each group are standing face to face. Some words are shown on the screen. One of them explains them one by one either by body language or by giving situations, the other tries to say the word by guessing its meaning. The one who guesses the most in the given time will win.

The words are as follows: generous, warm-hearted, threaten, tense, thankful, candle, miserable, cheerful, mean, shelter, slope, solo, mean, inspire, challenge, optimistic, value.

Sample situation:

T: The Wangs are my neighbours. One evening, someone knocked at my door. I opened and saw the son with a basket of ripe and nice oranges. He said his uncle had brought them a lot from the countryside and his mother wanted him to give some to me for a taste. Before I could express my thanks, he moved to the next house. The Wangs are always ready to have their neighbours share the things their relatives bring them. What do you think of the Wang’s Family? And what about their son?

S: ( The family are generous, and the son is generous, too.)
