The Fifth Period从容说课This is the fifth period of this unit.As usual，the teacher will check the homework.First，the teacher will ask several pairs of the students to act out their dialogues.This activity is designed to make Ss to guess what may happen according to the story，meanwhile to develop Ss ability of expressing their ideas in English and make them more courageous to express themselves in public.To see if the Ss have improved their ability of expressing themselves in English，they will evaluate their performance in acting their dialogue.Later this evaluation will be put into Ss study files.For Part 1 on Page 56，the teacher can ask each student to read several sentences of the passage.In this way，Ss are also given a chance to practise reading English aloud.To give Ss a clear impression upon the Wuyi Mountains，the teacher can present pictures taken there.There are several language points from Page 22 to 23.It is time for the teacher to deal with them in this period，for there is a translation exercise on Page 57，which we will leave to Ss as todays homework.The explanation of these language points will give Ss confidence in finishing what otherwise will be very difficult.In the previous two periods，Ss have been given much training in reading，since listening is another important part of English learning，they should be given some training in listening.Therefore in this period，they will finish the listening tasks of Part 3 Chatting With a Girl on Page 23.Through listening activity，we can develop Ss ability of grasping key words and key sentences and get them into the habit of predicting what will happen according to the context.Ss are given different tasks while listening to the passage for three different times.This is also correspondent to the task-based teaching methods.To consolidate the language points in this unit，Ss are required to finish the translation exercise of Part 2 on Page 57.And they should preview Part 6 of Journal Down the Mekong on Page 59.三维目标1.Knowledge：usual，put up，camp，for one thing. for another2.Ability：Listening and speaking.3.Emotion：Learn the beauty of our motherland.教学重点The language points of this lesson.教学难点To get correct information in listening.教具准备Projector and other normal teaching tools.教学过程Step 1 GreetingStep 2 Act out the dialogueStep 3 RevisionT：Yesterday you did a quite good job.So today Ill show some beautiful pictures I took in the Wuyi Mountains as a reward.Do you like them？I think youll be interested in the travel journal by one of the tourists to Wuyi Mountains.Please turn to Page 56.Would you please read the passage，paying attention to your tone？S1：A tour of the Wuyi Mountains in the northwest of Fujian Province is well worth your time.This place has clean rivers，beautiful forests on hills and peaceful villages.The UN honored much of Wuyi in 1999.Since then，more and more tourists have visited it and some have used air travel to get there.T：Please stop here.Would anyone go on reading the passage？S2：You will be glad to know，however，that it is still a special，quiet place to see.Yunufeng，or Jade Lady Peak，is as beautiful as ever.Jiuquxi，a river in the shape of a snake in the southwestern part of Wuyi Mountains，is still green and clear as it travels nearly ten kilometers to the plains below.S3：On the river you can see many high hills or stop to climb a rock staircase to the top of Tianyoufeng.From there you might stand in a light warm rain as you look out over the beautiful valley below.Clouds come and go among the mountains and you may imagine yourself in a dream world.Sometimes fog finds its way between the mountains and into the valleys.Birds sing cheerfully in the forest，perhaps calling out names from long ago.S4：In another part of the river you can take a boat down the rapids but be sure to wear a T-shirt and shorts as you will get wet.If you need to wear glasses，tie them to your head.Dont change your mind about going down the river!
