“蛟龙出海”是考验我们团队的凝聚力、创造力、想象力、反映能力、领导能力。我们要先分队、选出队长和参谋长、取队名、选队歌、自设队旗。这样我们便开始了比赛,我们都相互把脚绑在一起,然后一起横着走。由于种种失误,很不幸我们队在这次比赛中我们失败了。我们沉默着,我们反思着,失败的痛楚无法形容。人生就是这样,是现实的,我们不得不接受。但也让我们大家学会了很多,明白了很多,我们要时刻准备着,我们才能有机会赢。
【教师总结:联合国的会徽的世界地图象征着联合国是一个世界性的国际组织;图案中得橄榄枝象征着和平。联合国采取了很多措施以实现它的宗旨,如对于朝鲜违反国际法规进行核试验,联合国给予警告和制裁,充分体现了它维护国际和平与安全,促进国际合作与发展的宗旨。】对于中国与联合国的关系这部分内容,我将请阅读教材92页几幅图片及材料内容,设置活动探究课中国在联合国的声音和身影,请合作讨论思考以下两个问题,中国与联合国的关系;列举事实说明中国在国际社会中的重要作用。 教师通过剖析中国在联合国的地位和作用,引导学生理解中国在国际社会中发挥着重要作用,是负责任的国家;同时培养学生综合运用知识分析说明问题的能力,使学生感受作为中国人的自豪。【教师总结:中国是联合国的创始国之一,中国作为联合国的创始国和安理会常任理事国之一,一贯遵循联合国宪章的宗旨和原则,积极参与联合国及其专门机构有利于世界和平和发展的活动。】
1.导入新课:通过视频“阿根廷的潘帕斯草原”,引起学生的兴趣,进而引出新的学习内容——以畜牧业为主的农业地域类型。2.新课讲授:第一课时,首先通过展示“世界大牧场放牧业分布图”,引出对大牧场放牧业的初步认识,了解其分布范围;然后通过展示“潘帕斯草原的地形图”“气候图”和“牧牛业景观图”,讨论分析大牧场放牧业形成的区位条件,并进行案例分析,学习该种农业的特点;最后,理论联系实际,展示:“中国地形图”“气候图”“人口图”“交通图”和“内蒙古牧区图”,分组讨论我国内蒙古地区能否采用潘帕斯草原大牧场放牧业的生产模式。第二课时,首先通过设问顺利从大牧场放牧业转入乳蓄业,通过讲述让学生了解乳蓄业的概念;然后通过展示世界乳畜业分布图,了解乳蓄业主要分布在哪些地区;接着,通过西欧乳蓄业的案例分析,得到乳蓄业发展的区位因素及其特点。
本来比较速度变化的快慢也有两种方法:一种是比较相同时间内速度变化量的大小;另一种是比较发生相同的速度变化所需要的时间长短。但教材是将比较质点位置移动快慢的思想直接迁移过来,通过实例分析,使学生明白不同运动物体的速度变化快慢不同,表现在速度的变化与发生这个变化所用时间的比值不同,从而引入加速度的定义方法a=△v/△t。加速度表示速度的变化快慢,包括速度增加的快慢和减小的快慢,不能误认为只要有加速度的运动速度就一定是增加的。广义地讲,加速度不仅可以描述速度大小的变化快慢,而且也可以描述速度方向变化的快慢,本节教材只限定在直线运动的情景中讨论。加速度的矢量性是一个难点,教材是以与速度方向相同或是相反来表述加速度的矢量性的。如果以初速度方向为正方向,那么加速度就有正负之分,加速度的正负表示加速度的方向,不表示加速度的大小。
(三)合作交流能力提升教师:刚才我们通过实验了解了小车的速度是怎样随时间变化的,但实验中有一定的误差,请同学们讨论并说出可能存在哪些误差,造成误差的原因是什么?(每个实验小组的同学之间进行热烈的讨论)学生:测量出现误差。因为点间距离太小,测量长度时容易产生误差。教师:如何减小这个误差呢?学生:如果测量较长的距离,误差应该小一些。教师:应该采取什么办法?学生:应该取几个点之间的距离作为一个测量长度。教师:好,这就是常用的取“计数点”的方法。我们应该在纸带上每隔几个计时点取作一个计数点,进行编号。分别标为:0、1、2、3……,测各计数点到“0”的距离。以减小测量误差。教师:还有补充吗?学生1:我在坐标系中描点画的图象只集中在坐标原定附近,两条图象没有明显的分开。学生2:描出的几个点不严格的分布在一条直线上,还能画直线吗?
本节课标解读:1.说明以种植业为主的农业地域类型的形成条件及特点;2.说出商品谷物农业的分布范围,说明商品谷物农业的形成条件及特点。内容地位与作用:农业是受自然环境影响最大的产业。农业是发展历史最悠久的产业,随着社会的发展和进步,社会环境对农业的影响越来越大。以季风水田农业为主的农业地域类型,主要体现自然环境对农业地域形成的影响;商品谷物农业则体现了社会环境对农业地域形成的影响。本节内容包括两部分内容,一个是季风水田农业,主要分布在亚洲季风区;一个是商品谷物农业,主要分布在发达国家。教材文字内容不多,配备了大量的地图和景观图。因此,在教学过程中要充分组织学生查阅地图,挖掘地理信息,培养分析能力。分析农业区位因素时,必须从自然因素和社会经济因素两个方面去分析,找出优势区位因素来。

Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …horse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.

The topic of this part is “Discover the reasons for festivals and celebrations.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at talking about the experiences and feelings or emotions about the festivals and celebrations. This section aims at detecting the reason why the people celebrate the festivals, the time, the places, the types and the way of celebrations. It also explains why some traditions in the old celebrations are disappearing, like the firecrackers in the big cities and some new things are appearing like the prosperity of business or commerce. 1. Students can talk about what festivals they know and the reasons and the way of celebrating them.2. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.3. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them. 4. Students can have the international awareness about the festivals.1. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.2. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them.Step 1 Lead in---Small talkWhat festival do you like best ? Why ?I like the Spring Festivals because I can set off the fireworks, receive the lucky money and enjoy the Gala with my families.Step 2 Before reading---Pair workWhy do people celebrate different festivals ?The Spring Festivals is to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring and new life.The Mid-autumn Day is to celebrate the harvest and admire the moon.
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. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information about Naadam Festival.2. Learn the structure of the reading article and language.3. Write an article about a festival experience4. Learn to use the psychology, emotions and feeling in the writing.1. Write an article about a festival experience.2. Use the structure of the reading article and language.
Step 4 PracticeRead the conversation. Find out which words have been left out.Justin: Linlin, I’m going to Guizhou Province next month. I’m super excited! Any recommendations for places to visit?Linlin: Wow, cool! Guizhou is a province with a lot of cultural diversity. Places to visit...well, definitely the Huangguoshu Waterfall first.Justin: What’s special about the waterfall?Linlin: Well, have you ever heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West ?Justin: Yes, I have. Why ?Linlin: In the back of the waterfall, you will find a cave, which is the home of the Monkey King.Justin: Really? Cool! I’ll definitely check it out.Linlin:And I strongly recommend the ethnic minority villages. You’ll find Chinese culture is much more diverse than you thought.Justin:Sounds great, thanks.Answers:Justin: Linlin, I’m going to Guizhou Province next month. I’m super excited! Do you have any recommendations for places to visit?Linlin: Wow, that’s cool! Guizhou is a province with a lot of cultural diversity. What are some places to visit in Guizhou ? Well, definitely the Huangguoshu Waterfall is the first place to visit in Guizhou Province.Justin: What’s special about the waterfall?Linlin: Well, have you ever heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West ?Justin: Yes, I have heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West . Why do you ask if I have heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West?Linlin: In the back of the waterfall, you will find a cave, which is the home of the Monkey King from Journey to the West.Justin: That’s really true? It’s Cool! I’ll definitely check it out.Linlin:And I strongly recommend the ethnic minority villages on your trip to Guizhou Province. You’ll find Chinese culture is much more diverse than you thought it was.Justin:This all sounds great, thanks.
The topic of this part is “Describe a place with distinctive cultural identity”.This section focuses on Chinese culture by introducing Chinatown, whose purpose is to show the relationship between the Chinese culture and American culture. The Chinese culture in Chinatown is an important part of American culture. Chinatown is an important window of spreading Chinese culture and the spirit homeland of oversea Chinese, where foreigners can experience Chinese culture by themselves.Concretely, the title is “Welcome to Chinatown!”, from which we can know that the article aims at introducing Chinatown. The author used the “Introduction--Body Paragraph--Conclusion” to describe the people, language, architecture, business, famous food and drinks and people’s activities, which can be a centre for Chinese culture and shows its unique charm.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information.2. Learn the characteristics of writing and language.3. Learn to introduce your own town according to the text.4. Learn to correct others’ writing.1. Learn the characteristics of writing and language.2. Learn to introduce your own town according to the text.Step 1 Lead in ---Small talkIn the reading part, we mentioned the Chinatown of San Francisco. How much do you know about Chinatown of San Francisco ?Chinatown is a main living place for Chinese immigrants, where you can see many Chinese-style buildings, costumes, operas, restaurants, music and even hear Chinese.Step 2 Before reading ---Predict the contentWhat is the writer’s purpose of writing this text ? How do you know ?From the title(Welcome to Chinatown) and some key words from the text(tourist, visit, visitors, experience), we can know the purpose of the text is to introduce Chinatown and show the relationship between Chinese culture and American culture.
