教材分析
This is the fifth teaching period of this unit. As usual, the teacher will first get students to review what they learned in the last period, and then lead in the new lesson.
In this period we will mainly deal with the follo wing parts: Listening, writing and acting in Using language on Page 23, Talking and Listening in Workbook on Page 55.
The purpose of the part Listening, writing and acting is to encourage independent thought and speculation.
1. Let the students listen to Act Ⅰ, Scene 5. Make sure students go through the exercises before they listen to the tape. This is to sharpen their attention and listen for the answers. This will also help them get the gist of the listening text. The teaching procedures may be as follows: First, let students go through the exercises and guess the listening text may be about. Play the tape for students to listen and decide whether their guessing is right. Second, ask them to listen again for them to find the answers to the questions in Exercise 2. Third, let them listen a third time to check their answers. While they are listening, the teacher should pause and repeat the key sentences to help students understand. When checking the answers, explain some difficult listening points if necessary. In the end, show them the listening text and read it aloud to the tape.
2. Have students in pairs imagine what may happen to Henry in the next month as he tries to use the bank note without getting into trouble and then make a new scene for the play and perform it to the class. The teacher should give them enough encouragement and necessary help. Advise them to follow the steps: 1)Make a list of the characters. 2)Make an outline of the events and the actions of the scene. 3)Make a note of how the characters’ feelings change. 4)Decide on the stage directions which tell the actors what to do or how to say something. 5)Think up an exciting ending.
The part Talking is an opportunity for students to contribute to the writing of the play. They are asked in pains to make their dialogue and this will take the place of Act Ⅱ, Scene 1. Students can all act their dialogues to the class and one can be chosen as the most appropriate for the play. Listening on Page 55 is a continuation of the sample talking above. It completes the scene and continues to develop the story. Before letting students listen to the text, ask th em to discuss in pairs what they think will happen when the tailor sees the bank note.
We should try our best to encourage students. Don’t always correct the mistakes they have made while they are speaking or writing. Otherwise, they would feel reluctant and not say or write anything more.
