从容说课
This is the third teaching period of this unit. The teacher should first check the students’ homework and offer chances for the students to review what they learned in the second period.
The emphasis in this period will be laid on the important new words, expressions and sentence patterns. In order to make the students understand these points thoroughly, the teacher can first get the students to understand their meanings in the context, then give some explanations about them, later offer some practices to let the students know their usages. Some words and expressions, such as include, command, request, recognize, because of, such as, play a role in, etc. are very useful and important. The teacher ought to pay more attention to them and design special exercises.
Also in this unit, there are some words which show directions, such as western, eastern, Midwestern, southern and northwestern. The teacher can first get students to review east, west, south and north they learned in Junior middle school, then enlarge them and design situations to make students master them by games.
At the end of the class, the teacher can make the students do more exercises for consolidation. In doing so, they can learn, grasp and use these important language points well.
