牛津高中英语教学设计单元：Unit 1 Other countries, other cultures板块：Task 2Thoughts on the design: 这节课后面的内容说多不多，说少不少，其中Skills building 2部分是口语练习，主要学习如何请人重复所说的话。这一部分可以结合语法中的间接引语的复习，帮助学生学习“请求重复信息”的一些日常用语以及重复所讲内容时可能需要注意的时态一致的问题，并结合上一节课的听力内容进行操练。此后，根据写作要求指导学生完成行程安排表。当然，把安排表转化成一篇通顺、连贯的文章也是高考对学生写作能力的要求之一。所以在本课最后，将结合高考的要求让学生在自拟一则安排表的基础上写一篇口头通知。Teaching aims:After learning Skills building 2, the students will be able to use different expressions to ask for repetition of information, especially of important information. At the same time, they are supposed to practise repeating a sentence, using correct indirect speech.After learning Skills building 3, the students will be able to have a clearer understanding of what should be paid attention to when writing a travel plan. Then, with the information from Step 1 and Step 2, they should draw up a travel plan for the orchestras trip to New York. However, they should also learn to turn a travel plan into a complete speech.As well as language knowledge and skills in oral repetition and written work in a travel plan, the students should also realize the importance of good manners, especially in asking for repetition.Teaching procedures:Step 1 Tell the students something about yourself. Then suddenly stop and ask: Sorry, what did I say just now? Get the students to retell your words, using indirect speech.Read the sentences on the screen and have the students to turn them into indirect speech.1.“Youshouldbemorecarefulnexttime,”hisfathersaidtohim.2.Mr. Wangsaid: “IwillleaveforShanghaionbusinessnextmonth,children.”3.“Ihaventheardfrommyparentsthesedays,”saidMary.4.Thegeographyteachersaidtous,“Themoonmovesaroundtheearthandtheearthgoesroundthesun.”5.Shesaidtohim,“Itstimethatyoulefthere.”Answers:1.Hisfather toldhim tobemorecarefulnexttime.2.Mr. Wangtold the children that he wouldleaveforShanghaionbusiness thenextmonth.3.Mary said she hadnt heardfromher parentsthosedays.4.Thegeographyteachertoldus the moon moves around the earth and the earth goes round the sun.5.Shetoldhim to leave there.Explanation直接引语和间接引语的转换，不仅是中学阶段语法学习的一个重点和难点，也是日常英语会话经常见到的一种语法现象。借助本课的学习，及时复习一下相关语法知识，还是很有必要的。Step 2 Say: When a speaker speaks very fast, and you need to make sure that you have got the correct details, what would you do? Sometimes, it is important for us to ask for repetition or repeat the information yourselves whenever necessary. Now, please present as many ways of asking for a repetition as possible. Remember that you should be polite when asking for repetition. Pardon? Would you please say that again? Would you please say that more slowly? Im sorry I cant follow you. Im sorry. Did you say? Im sorry. Could you repeat that? Could I have that number again, please? Could you spell that for me?Get the students to work in pairs and practise asking for repetition and make sure that you can use the language items learnt in this part.Step 3Read the instructions and role-play the conversation. Make sure that the student should ask for repetition where there is an asterisk.For example:Student: Good morning, sir. I am planning a cultural exchange tour for our school orchestra to New York. May I ask you some questions about places in New York?Travel agent: Sure. What do you want to find out?Student: Is there a guided tour at Carnegie Hall?Travel agent: Yes, there are guided tours.Student: Great, then what about Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts? (*)Travel agent: This is a place you cant miss. You know there are many theatres, cafes and restaurants there. You can have a wonderful time enjoying either the ballet, the opera or the circus.Student: I am sorry, but did you say we can enjoy the ballet, the opera or the circus there? Explanation这里最大的难度是如何把学生的问题和旅行社代理的答案吻合起来，还要注意哪些细节需要重复。因此，建议老师在练习前让学生认真读一遍，有不懂的地方可以提出来。必要的情况下老师可以进行示范。要注意的是，在问话时尽量多使用不同的请求重复的表达方法。Step 4Ask the students to read the title for Skills building 3 and answer: What should be listed in a travel plan?Answer:1. Times and dates for different stages of the journey. 2. Details about the places to visit, as well as contact details.Tell the students to continue reading the next five points for writing a travel plan. The day. Brief sentences. No need for too much detail. Options or suggestions available.
