新人教版高中英语必修3Unit 1 Festivals and Celebrations-Listening &Speaking＆Talking教学设计
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.

The topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences. During the reading part, it introduces the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which can give students a good example to imitate. Students not only learn the festival, but touch and feel the Inner Mongolian’s character, the spirit and cultural atmosphere, which can help students form the cultural awareness and learn to enjoy and value the diversity of Chinese culture.Concretely, the dairy tells the experience that the author spent the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with his/her friend. The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience. Because this part is a travel journal, we must guide students pay more attention to these details: 1. use the first person. 2. use the past tense to tell the past thing and use the present or future tense to describe the scenery. 3. use the timeline to tell the development. 4. be careful for the author’s psychology, emotion and feeling, etc.1.

Example:One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door found that he only had one dime(一角）left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.” Tear of joy flooded her eyes.

The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral.However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people with the need for personal responsibility.Step 8 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner.

人教版高中地理必修1第三章第一节自然界的水循环教案
浅层地下水是贮存于地表松散堆积物中的潜水。主要受降水、气温、蒸发等气象因素影响，有明显的季节变化与日变化，并与河水有相应补给关系，即河水高于潜水面时，河水补给地下水，反之地下水补给河流；深层地下水是长时间内渗入地下深入储存起来的，它缓慢地流出补给河流，受气象因素影响很小，通常只有年变化，季节变化已不明显。当然，一条河流的河水补给来源往往不是单一的，而是以某一种形式为主的混合补给形式，对流域自然条件复杂的大的河流来说尤其如此。我国长江上游地区除雨水、地下水外，高原高山上冰川、积雪在夏季融化也补给河流；东北地区的河流，由春季融化积雪补给，夏季则由雨水和地下水补给；西北内陆盆地除雨水外，夏季高山冰川、积雪融化成为河流的主要补给形式。我国季风地区，大部分河流以雨水补给为主，而冬季则由地下水补给。
人教版高中地理必修1第四章第三节河流地貌的发育教案
1．流水堆积地貌由于河床坡度降低，导致流速减小 ，或者其他原因，引起河流搬运能力降低，促使沉积发生，形成堆积地貌。常见的河流堆积地貌主要有以下几种：(1)冲积扇平原冲积扇是河流出山口处的扇形堆积体。河流出 山口后，比降显著减小，水流又分成许多交汉，成扇状向外流动，河流能量显著降低，大量物质堆积下来，又有利于河流改道。随着各支汊的不断堆积和变迁，就形成冲积扇。冲积扇的物质结构，一般是顶部物质较粗，主要为沙、砾 ，随着水流搬运能力向边缘减弱，堆积的物质逐渐变细，边缘一般多为沙、粉沙及亚粘土，分选性较好，所以冲积扇是较好的含水层，边缘常有泉水出 露，可发展自流灌 溉。若山地河谷随山地间歇抬升，也可形成叠置冲积扇。(2)河漫滩平原河漫滩平原发源于河流中下游。在河流中下游地区，河流下蚀作用减弱，侧蚀作用加强，河流往往凹岸侵蚀，在凸岸堆积形成水下堆积体。堆积体 的面积逐渐扩大，在枯水季节露出水面，形成河漫滩(见下图)。
人教版高中地理必修1自然地理环境的整体性教案
1．生产功能：合成有机物的能力2．平衡功能：使自然地理要素的性质保持稳定的能力【教师讲解】生产功能主要依赖于光合作用。在光合作用过程中，植物提供叶绿素，大气提供热量和二氧化碳，土壤及水圈、岩石圈提供水分及无机盐。光合作用通过物质和能量的交换，将生物、大气、水、土壤、岩石等地理要素统一在一起，在一定的条件下，生产出有机物。由此可见，生产功能是自然环境的整体功能而非单个地理要素的功能。大气本身不具有减缓二氧化碳增加的功能，但是，在自然地理环境中，通过各地理要素的相互作用，却能消除部分新增的二氧化碳的能力，既为自然地理环境的平衡功能。请大家阅读教材P94活动，利用平衡功能的原理，解释一定范围内各物种的数量基本恒定这一现象。【学生讨论回答】略。（可参考教参）【转折】自然地理环境各要素每时每刻都在演化，如我们熟知的气候变化、地貌变化等。各个要素的发展演化是统一的，一个要素的演化伴随着其他各个要素的演化。
