1、Unit 3 Life in the future【教材分析】本單元以“Life in the future”為中心話題，旨在通過本單元的學習，讓學生大膽發(fā)揮想象，對人類今后的生活環(huán)境，生活方式進行猜測，并在此基礎(chǔ)上，對人類的種種活動進行反思，提倡環(huán)保生活意識。同時讓學生學會過去分詞作定語和作狀語的不同用法。最后讓學生將本單元所討論的話題和推測手法相結(jié)合，學習怎樣寫report。Warming Up 部分利用一個關(guān)于“住”和“行”的對比研究表格引導學生回顧過去，認識現(xiàn)在和展望未來。通過這一活動，引發(fā)學生對過去，現(xiàn)在和未來的思考，使學生對將要閱讀的文章有個知識準備。Pre-reading 部分讓

2、學生充分運用發(fā)散思維，先列舉當今世界人類面臨的一些突出問題，然后要求學生思考為什么會產(chǎn)生這些問題，這些問題中哪些在未來社會仍然可能存在，哪些將會被克服，哪些將會惡化。為下面的閱讀做了鋪墊。Reading 部分通過一封發(fā)自未來的電子郵件，講述了作者Li Qiang怎樣安全到達“未來世界”，他對“未來世界”的印象，以及“未來世界”的日常生活方式和交通工具情況。閱讀時要把重點放在“未來世界”生活與當今生活的不同點上。Comprehending 部分設(shè)計了三個教學活動來加深學生對Reading部分的理解。第一個活動要求學生通過閱讀找出“未來世界”在以下幾個方面的變化：跨時空旅行，交通，住房，城鎮(zhèn)環(huán)境和

3、空氣質(zhì)量。接著讓學生在此基礎(chǔ)上得出自己的結(jié)論，哪些變化好，哪些變化不好，并說明理由。第二個活動要求學生通過閱讀來判斷Li Qiang對“未來世界”的態(tài)度是樂觀的還是悲觀的。學生要在文中找出支持自己觀點的論據(jù)，盡可能說服別人。第三個活動讓學生想象一下Li Qiang將會去參加哪些活動。這樣既鼓勵學生展開豐富的想象，又為Using Language部分的語篇學習做了鋪墊。Learning about Language部分突出了本單元的一些重點詞匯及語法。首先通過完成語篇來考查學生運用本單元詞匯的能力，并且通過練習，讓學生區(qū)分兩種動詞短語，一種是以動詞為中心的詞組，另一種是以介詞為中心的詞組。語法部

4、分要求學生主動找出閱讀語篇中的重點結(jié)構(gòu)過去分詞作定語和狀語，然后加以應(yīng)用。Using Language 部分涵蓋了聽，說，讀，寫四項語言基本技能。要求學生通過閱讀I HAVE SEEN AMAZING THINGS 一文，對Li Qiang旅行的第三站有個總體的印象，并能找出部分細節(jié)知識。SUMMING UP 部分歸納了本單元的主要學習內(nèi)容并讓學生自我檢測一下學習效果。 LEARNING TIP 部分告訴學生在討論時記筆記的好處和方法?！菊n程標準要求掌握項目】詞匯1 四會詞匯Expect, aspect, constant, constantly, remind, jet, previous,
