JULES VERNE: THE FATHER OF SCIENCE FICTION
Jules Verne was born in 1828, in France. His father sent him to Paris to study law, but instead Verne developed his love for the theatre. To make a living, Verne had to write and sell stories. Jules spent many hours in Paris libraries studying geology, physics and many other subjects. He used the latest ideas and technical inventions of his day in his books. Many of the instruments in his novels will remind the reader of Dr Benjamin Franklin’s experiments with electricity. By taking the scientific developments of his day one step further, Jules Verne laid the foundation of modern science fiction. He also suggested how inventions could be used in the future to allow man to do things that were considered impossible in his own time. Jules Verne died in 1905, long before any of his dreams came true.
At the beginning of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, one of his most famous novels, ships are disappearing all over the world and it is believed to be caused by a sea monster. Dr Aronnax, his servant and a Canadian whale hunter set out to find the monster. After months of searching they find it and in the collision that follows, the three men are thrown overboard. In their efforts to survive, they find themselves on the surface of the monster itself, which turns out to be a submarine. They are taken on board and Captain Nemo decides not to kill them but makes them his permanent guests. From that day on they start planning their escape.
Captain Nemo takes them on a voyage across the oceans. The Nautilus is an extraordinary ship. The furniture is precious and huge glass windows that can be opened and closed give a view of the underwater world. The ship is also very strong and protected with thick iron plates. All that is needed for life on board comes from the ocean. Electricity is used for light, heating, power and to defend the ship against attacks. The food aboard the Nautilusis all sea food.
Dressed in diving suits, they walk around in this magic world, lighted by the lamps of the ship. They find themselves surrounded by colourful rocks, fishes, shells and plants, all waving and moving slowly in the blue waters.
Readers have wondered about the character of Captain Nemo ever since the book was published. You could say he is someone you will neither like nor dislike. You might think that he is a cruel man because he keeps Aronnax and the others as prisoners and destroys ships. But at other moment you will find him gentle and weak, when he cries about the lost lives of people drowned in ships that have sunk.
Another wonderful story is that of Journey to the Center of the Earth. The story begins with the discovery of an ancient document in an old book. It explains how to find a secret road to the centre of the earth. Two men decide to go on this adventure and travel to Iceland, where they enter the earth through a chimney in an extinct volcano. Their guide leads them through a narrow passage deep into the earth. Passing through layers of coal and marble they go deeper and deeper. They drink the water from a boiling underground river and after many days they reach a huge lake or underground ocean. Walking along its shores they go through forests of mushrooms and plants that lived on the earth millions of years ago. They build a raft to cross the sea and are attacked by ancient sea creatures. In the end, their raft is drawn into a fast steam and with ever increasing speed and temperatures they are shot out of a volcano in southern Italy.

THE STORY OF DR FRANKENSTEIN
No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself. Instead of children’s play and adventure, I was driven by a desire to learn. I wasn’t interested in the structure of language or law. I wanted to learn the secrets of heaven and earth. My father was not scientific, so I had to look for a road without having a map. I entered the search for wisdom and dreamt of finding a way to cure any disease.
I read all the books I could find that threw light upon these matters. I studied maths and physics and the works of many learned author. At the age of seventeen, my parents sent me to university. But I found all that was taught at university very disappointing and decided that I would pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of nature.
One of the phenomena that attracted my attention was the structure of the human body, and any animal that was alive. I often asked myself, where the principle of life came from. After days and nights of incredible labour I discovered the cause of life and how to create life from dead matter.
When I found this amazing power placed within my hands, I hesitated a long time how I should use it. Although I knew how to create life, how to prepare a body for it with all its muscles and organs still remained a difficult job. I doubted at first whether I should try to create a being like myself, or one of simpler organization. But soon I dreamt of nothing else but the creation of a creature as complete and wonderful as man.
It was with these feelings that I began the creation of a human being. As the small size of the parts slowed down my speed, I decided to make the being much larger than man; about eight feet in height. With these ideas, spending some months collecting and arranging materials, I began.
Who can imagine the horror of my secret work? I collected bones from graves and cut up dead bodies. Many of my materials came from butcher shops and hospitals. It was on a night in November that I looked at the result of my work. I collected my instruments around me, with which I would light the flame of life into the dead thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open.
I looked at the terrible monster that I had created. He opened the curtain of the bed; and his eyes, if eyes they may be called, looked at me. His hair was black and his teeth as white as snow, but his skin was yellow. When his thin black lips opened, nothing came out some strange sounds. While unfinished, he was ugly, but now he was a living horror.
Writing

Then name of your own mysterious doctor and write a short story about how he or she would create a human being.

Underwater archaeology
Underwater archaeology as a specialisation of archaeology has only come into being in about the last thirty years. Before that time, divers could go down to ships, but they did not have the equipment to stay under water long enough to do their work. The development of better diving equipment and mini-submarines has also made it possible to reach sunken ships at greater depths, where it is too dark, the water pressure too high and temperatures too low for divers. The mini-submarines can also carry robots which can be operated from the ship to perform heavy or dangerous tasks. New technologies have also only in the past few decades been developed to help archaeologists locate sunken ships. Together with these techniques, computers and the development of the Internet have made it possible to search archives for information about ships and identify ships when they have been found.

He was brilliant, tireless, moral and devoted to the ruling over the country. He was rise long before sunrise and by five A>M. would begin to recive officials; his day rarely ended before midnight. In Chinese history, Kangxi is considered one of only a handful of emperors that fit the ideal pattern.He knew several languanges including Manchurian,Mandarin,Mongolian and Tibetan.He was expert in Confucianism,poetry and calligraphy while showing extensive interest in astronomy, mathematics, geography, medicine, philosophy, painting and music. His accomplishments in astronomy,geography and mathematics can be seen from the instruments he used,which are included in the “study of Science”category.
The most valuable piece in the “porcelain”section will be a blue and white porcelain vase during the reign of kang xi,the only porcelain relic from the Forbidden City Museum;the others are from the collextions of the famous Musee Guimet.

Go over the key word or phrases by computer.
Open your books and turn to Page 53.Look at Word Study. Part 1: Fill in the blanks with the right words. Part 2: Use the correct form of the words in the box to describe the following things or people. You are given ten minutes to do them.

(Teacher goes among the students and the students begin to do it. After a while, teacher checks their answers.)
Suggested answers: omitted
Step Ⅲ Grammar Study
T: Now I want you to translate two sentences into English. Look at the screen.
(Show the following on the screen.)
1.请把盐递给我。
2.请给我们演奏一些民间乐曲。
(Write the two sentences on the blackboard.)
Look at the blackboard, the verbs“play”and“pass”are followed by two objects. In English, there are some verbs that can be followed by two objects. Who can tell us what they are?
S4: I’ll try. They are send, buy, get…
T: Right. You’ve known some of the verbs. Now I’ll give you a summary. Please look at the screen.
(Show the following on the screen.)
Common verbs that take indirect objects:
①give,show,send,bring,offer,read,pass,lend,leave,hand,tell,return,write,pay,throw,wish,teach,promise,owe,refuse ect.
E.g. I’ll lend you something to read.

Let’s get the children something to drink.
T: Now please notice there are two groups in the diagram. In Group 1,most of the indirect objects are transformed into “to-phrase”.And in Group 2,most of the indirect objects are transformed into “for-phrase”.
(Write the following on the blackboard.)
Compare:
Is that clear?
Ss: Yes.
T: But not all the indirect objects can be replaced like this.
e.g. “Do me a favour”.We can’t transform it into: “Do a favour for me.”
OK. Now let’s do some exercises. Open your books and turn to Page 54.Look at Grammar-Direct and Indirect Objects. Look at Part 1.Tick the right answer. First do it by yourselves. Then discuss it in pairs. Finally I’ll show you the answers.

3.√Please take these exercise-books to my office.
4.√Give me the check, please.
√Please give the check to me.
T: in fact, we should pay attention to some special cases. Especially when the direct object is shorter than the indirect object, or when we emphasize the indirect object, we often use such patterns,“Subject+Predicate+Direct Object+to/for+Indirect Object”.
E.g. I took it to the policeman on duty.
Mother bought the ice-cream for you, not for me.
(Write them on the blackboard.)
And there are two special cases you should notice.
Please look at the screen.
(Show the following on the screen.)
1.We must use prepositions before the indirect object following the two verbs “explain and suggest”.
E.g. Could you explain your point of view to us?
I suggest a way out to her.
2. Some verbs are followed by either direct object or indirect object, or both of them.
E.g. I asked John.
I asked a question.
I asked John a question.
The similar verbs are: teach, tell, owe, pay, and show
As to this, you should remember them. Is that clear?
Ss: Yes.
T: OK. Let’s deal with Part 2.
(Teacher begins to read the following and explains it if necessary. Summer is coming. You decide to have a different vacation this year. Use the words in brackets to explain what you will do differently this summer.)

T: Now you’ve known something about disabilities. I think many students will show their love to the disabled from now on. What should we do to help them in our daily life?
T: OK. It’s very kind of you! After class, please conduct a survey of the public places where you live in. Start with your school: how easy or difficult is it for a disabled person to get around? Visit other public buildings and find out if they are accessible or not. Work in pairs or groups and make a checklist for your survey. Use the results to write an essay. Describe the current situation and suggest ways to improve the situation.
Suggested writing:
After several days’ survey, I found that the government paid a little attention to the disabled and spend much money on new buildings. There is no special road for the blind. The buildings have many steps, and it’s difficult for the disabled to get into them.
A new government programmed has been designed to help disabled people. More special schools will be built. Not only will help be given to people to find jobs, but also medical treatment will be provided for people who need it. But the truth is that everyone should take care of disabled people, not just the government. If everyone shows love to them, their life will be much better.
Step Ⅷ Summary and Homework
T: In this class, we’ve reviewed the useful expressions and learned the text“The Special Olympics”.We practice how to write the article on disabilities. After class, go over all the important points learnt in this unit, and write an essay. Prepare for next unit. Class is over.

Step Ⅹ Record after Teaching
Unit 18 Invention
Ⅰ单元教材内容分析
当全世界科学技术发展迅猛,各种发明创造层出不穷,是因为人的思维品质与思维方式即(creative thinking)对发明创造起着至关重要的作用。因此培养学生的探究性思维能力,创造思维能力是时代社会对教育的要求。教师在课堂教学设计中力求体现“开放、启发、引导、自主”的教学原则,帮助学生运用相关的词汇表达自己的思想及思维过程,培养学生用英语描述某一发明创造,如构造的工作原理、用途等的能力。况且,我们曾经在高一(上)Unit9 Technology,高二Unit 1 Make a Different, Unit 6 Life in the future, Unit 11 Scientific achievement 等单元中已积累一些词汇。
本单元的中心话题是:“发明”(Inventions),课文始终围绕这一主题展开。具体涉及“科学技术发展”、“人的思维”、“创造性思维及其品质”、“对发明的新认识”等,语言知识和语言技能部分主要是围绕“发明创造”这一中心话题时行设计的,要不断丰富巩固这一话题的词汇及习惯短语。
“热身”(Warming up)部分设计了三个练习,列举了四件与学生日常生活联系密切的,富有启迪意义。
“听力”(Listening)部分提供了两人申请发明专利的情景。两项发明均未被接受。学生一方听懂两项发明,而且还要判断发明是否有用。这个听力练习要求学生运用听的技能的同时,还要学生思考、分析和解决的问题。
“读前”(Pre-reading)部分设计了三个问题,这三个问题的设计提供给学生开放性的思维,可以利用“头脑风暴”(brainstorming)让学生展开思维,阐述自己的观点,为正文的阅读作好语言铺垫。
“阅读”(Reading)部分介绍了伟大的思想家产生新发明的一些思路和思维模式:框外思维、换个角度看问题、联想和不断试验。安排这篇文章的目的在于培养学生的创造性思维。这是一篇说明文,可以用来帮助学生学习说明文的结构。
“读后”(Post-reading)部分是在阅读的基础上,通过两个活动,检查学生的理解程序,诱导学生联系实际,拓展思维。问答题的设计从表层引入深层、由课文导向课外。第一题为判断题,主要检测学生对文章细节的理解和掌握。第二题实际上为文章提出的发明创造的思维模式列举了具体的例子。
“语言学习”(Language study)分词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分设计了两个练习,其目的是帮助学生复习所学过的词汇(包括词性和词形)及短语。语法部分围绕定语从句而展开,而且选用了谜语,生动有趣。
“综合技能”(Integrating skills)部分有阅读和写作两个任务。阅读的文章说明科学隐喻(运用通俗的名称于新的发明之中,如电脑中的memory,storage和paste、print等等)的作用及其局限性。写作题有两个:“未来的电子计算机”和“向十九世纪的人介绍电脑”,由学生选作。这个任务符合学生的年龄特点、贴近现代生活,能够引起学生的兴趣。
“学习建议”(Tips)介绍不同的学习策略,如联想、猜测、图示以及分析错误等。
“复习要点”(Checkpoint)复习了定语从句。同时通过两个问题引导学生对本单元所学的内容 进行一次反思。
II 教材内容处理
1、本单元教材重难点处理
我校大部分学生具有较充分的阅读词汇,但学生语法知识,口语表达能力较弱,用英语思维表达的习惯很弱。学生具有一定的自学能力,学校局域网健全,并配备学生专用电子阅览室。这些使学生的自主探究学习成为可能。基于上述学生情况,我列出本单元4项重点和4项难点。旨在突出围绕本单元课题的词汇,获取文章大意的阅读能力及阐述观点的能力,以培养学生聚合思维和发散性思维,从而达到培养学生Creative thinking way,这也是本单元的教学目标之一。在word study 课时中把重点放在学生自我发现、练习巩固上,讲练结合,当堂巩固。在定语从句复习与写作训练中,以图式理论为指导,采用分类列举法帮助学习记忆语法规则,用列表法为学生提供必要的说看材料,让学生扩展成文。同时,以“引导、铺垫、分散、突破、反馈”为原则,处理课堂教学任务;以分组合作,笔头记录、口头汇报的方式反馈两项主题活动,这也是本单元2个非常重要的预习作业;以测试性评价手段,借助多媒体来巩固构词法、定语从句和本单元的重点词汇。在整个单元教学中,始终坚持任务目标,材料输入(导说领先),活动或讨论,笔头落实,环环相扣。碰到一项较难的任务时,以教师提供帮助或教学内容在教学程序上的铺垫来减轻任务的难度,从而使大部分都能获得成就感。
2、教材运用的改编或增减
增加部分:增加构词法的练习巩固
增加定语从句的改错练习与单选题
增加workbook中的听力练习,同时把workbook integrating作为泛读材料
增加中学生科技发明奖的新闻材料,让学生读后讨论
1.who is the young scientist? What nationality is he?
2.what is the teenager’s invention?
3.what do the judges think of the new invention?
4.what advantages does the new invention provide?
5.how many projects take part in the competition and how many of them made it through to the final round?
Discussion: 1.Is a creative student always a top student in subjects?
2.What do you think makes him a creative student?
删减部分:Wb P131 Ex2
Wb P133 Ex3
改编教材:1、把P62 part4作为第一课时的导入材料,以激发学生的兴趣
2、把P62 Ex3改编成游戏。
3、把P61 Ex3改编成竞赛活动。
4、把wb P130 listening P131 talking与speaking部分相结合,作为第二课时,主要培养学生的合作意识和口语能力。
3、测试安排
以同步作业本(科学普及出版社)进行同步作业布置,学生自我检测,教师批改、课堂分析、巩固。
4、本单元教学设计创意之处
①始终坚持任务目标→导说领先→活动或讨论→反馈或笔头落实→环环相扣,逐步铺垫。

V 单元课时教学设计
Period 1 Warning up & Listening
Period 2 Speaking & Talking
Period 3 Pre-reading & Reading & Post-reading
Period 4 Language study & Practice
Period 5 Integrating skill & Writing
Period 6 the Revision of the Attributive Clause (possible)
Period 7-8 the two periods for exercises
Period 1 Warming & Listening
Goals 1. Improve the Ss’ listening ability.
2. Enable the Ss to get involved in the topic and familiar to some new words and expressions.
Step1 Lead-in
Today’s topic is invention.
When we speak of invention, we can’t help thinking of the four great inventions in ancient China. What are they? Meanwhile, with the development of science more inventions have come about. These inventions are wonderful.
T:Now what invention do you think is the most useful? Why?
Ss: Collect the Ss’ opinion
T: But some inventions are so common that we often forget how wonderful they are. For example, zippers are very useful, but they are forgotten. Almost none of us know who invented them. Do you think so? Do you think it is important to know how things were invented?
If you want to invent something, you need to train yourself to have creative thinking to think about them in a different way based on the present things.
Now let’s do some riddles to see how clever you are? (on the screen)
1. What is it that Adam has none Eve has two and everyone has three?
2. What is it that the dead eat and that the living would die if they ate.
3. What is it that you use your head to your toes and the more it works the thinner it gets.
4. What is it that is not an airplane but moves through the sky not a river but is full of water?
Step 2 Warning up and discussion
Let the Ss look at the pictures to tell anything special about each picture and then ask the Ss to match each picture with the correct description below.
Ask some questions:
1. What kind of shoes is it? Is there anything special with the shoe?
2. In picture2 the chopsticks can be eaten.
Which word means eaten? edible chopsticks
3. What does nose-top computer mean?
How can you use it?
4. What does “inflatable bike” mean?
What are the advantages of bikes of this kind?
Discussion:
1. Which of these inventions do you think would be useful? Why?
教师可以帮助学生运用:I think ** would be the most useful invention because by using **, we can …
2. Is there anything you would like to invent? If so, what and why?
Possible sentence: I would like to invent a multi-use car. The multi-use car is a new type of car which can pass through any place when it is crowded. For example… You will never be late and save a lot of time for you.
Step 3 Pre-listening
We know when someone has invented something, usually he will go to a patent officer to apply for his patent. Now let’s listen to two dialogues.
In the dialogues, Mr Dean and Mr Scoles both have invented something. They’re trying to get the patent for their inventions from the patent officer. Let’s go through the questions on P15 first and then do the listening.
Step 4 Listening
Play the tape twice for students to listen to and them answer the questions. Play it a third time for the students to check their answers in pairs. At last check the answer with the whole class.
Blackboard:
Creative thinking
edible chopsticks
environmentally friendly(read-friendly)
inflatable
apply for 申请(vi) apply 应用(vt)
apply for a patent for sth
the patent officer
give a patent
hold a patent
step6 Assignment
1. Find out as many inventors as possible and try to describe one of most important inventors you think to the class, using the attributive clause if possible.
Period2 Speaking & Talking
Goals: Expand the topic around inventions to develop the Ss’ creating thinking and speaking ability.
Step1 Lead-in and reporting
T: Well, let’s begin our lesson. So far we’ve known some inventions and their inventors. Who is your most admirable inventor. Please describe something him or her to the class? Anyone will be the first?
Invite the some individual to report their preparations one by one.
Step2 Talking
T: We know inventions are important and great. It seems a little difficult to invent something. But do you think it is always difficult to think of something special?
S: No, sometimes it is not so hard to think of “A smart something”. And in our real life. We can create many smart things, for example, a smart refrigerator can tell you when you need to buy more milk or eggs. A smart air-conditioner can change the temperature itself when it is becoming hot or cold.
T: What smart objects can you think of ?
Ss: Collect Ss’ ideas and then let the Ss turn to P131 Ex.1 and choose two of the smart devices below and have a discussion with your partner to see how they could be used and then decide one to give a report.
Smart money Smart shoes Smart basketball Smart clock Smart pen
Smart car Smart medicine Smart bike Smart heater
Step 3 Speaking (role-play)
From the last lesson we also know how to apply for a patent. Now you are in a patent office. Let’s play a game. Each of you will be given a role card work in groups of five: four inventors and one patent officer. Each inventor should explain how the invention works and why it is useful. The patent officer should ask question and decide whether each invention is a good or not. And I’ll show you some useful expressions to help you. In the end show out some example dialogues.
This invention can help people…
This new invention will make it possible for people to…
This is a new way of…
It has many functions like…
What does it look like…
What’s it make of…?
How does it work…?
How would people use it ?
What are some advantages compared to other product of this kind?
专利官员评判时可使用以下句型:
1. I’m much impressed by ________
2. I think your invention is ____________
3. That’s really a good idea ___________
4. I’m afraid it might not _____________
5. I’m sorry ,but I can’t give you a patent for
6. I think you can have the patent for ________
Possible examples:
A=Patent Officer
B, C, and D =Inventors
A: Good morning. Please tell me about your invention.
B: Yes, well, I have invented a car that uses water instead of petrol. This invention is great for the environment. Imagine how nice and clean our cities would be if we didn’t have all the air pollution from cars.
A: Yes, it does sound good. How does it work?
B: Well, I can’t explain the details, but it uses a new kind of engine that can turn water into energy. The new engine is a bit expensive, and the cars won’t be able to drive very fast, but I think it will become cheaper with time. It is a new way of producing energy, so we will have to build new cars. It can’t be used for normal cars.
A: I see. What about your invention?
C: I have invented a machine that makes it possible for people to know the future.
A: That sounds incredible! How does it work?
C: It’s a small computer that is connected to your brain. It uses everything you know, and all the information on the Internet. Then I use a special equation to guess what will happen next. The machine is right almost90% of the time.
A: How would people use it?
C: Well, let’s say you want to know what questions will be on the maths test next week. You ask the computer to guess and it will predict the questions. Or, if you want to know what will happen two weeks from now, you just type in the date and the computer will describe what will happen to you.
D: Excuse me, may I tell you about my new invention?
A: OK.
D: I have invented a flying bicycle. This invention can help people get around in crowded cities.
A: What’s it made of?
D: The bicycle is made of very light plastic. The bike doesn’t weigh more than 50 grams.
A: And how does it work? What does it look like?
D: There is a small engine on the bike----it looks a bit like a helicopter. If you want to fly, you just start the engine and take off.
( The discussion continues.)
Step 4 Extensive Listening practice (part 1)
Go through Ex.1 on P130 and do extensive listening practice for exact information
Step 5 Summary
Today we’ve learnt how to express and support an opinion. And we’ve learnt how to apply for a patent when you have made an invention. Many of you have wonderful ideas about new inventions. Study hard now and I believe you’ll make your own invention in the future.
Step6 Assignment
1. Preview the text and learn the make out difficult sentences new words and expression.
2. Draw your invention and to apply for a patent, please give a good description to it, including how it looks, how it works, and how people can use it.
Period 3 Reading
Goals: 1. Learn the text and train the Ss’ reading ability.
2. Learn some useful words and expressions.
3. Help the Ss to learn to be more creative.
Step 1 Lead-in and Pre-reading
T: Greeting and ask:
In modern times, we have so many inventions? What inventions have you known?
Yes, the inventions can make people’s life easier and better. They will do a lot of good to people.(on the screen)
① But how do they come up with ideas for new invention.
② Do you think you have to be very intelligent to be an inventor?
③ Are some people born creative or is it possible to learn to be creative?
If you want to be an inventor yourself, you must have a lot of questions. New read the passage quickly to find the answers to these questions above.
Step 2 Reading
Allow the Ss a few minutes to find the answers to the questions.
T: Are you finished?
Ss: Yes.
Then collect different opinions from the Ss.
Focus on:
1. Why is it possible to learn how to be creative?
Because creative thinking is a matter of habits. By thinking about how we think and practising good thinking strategies. We can become more creative.
2. Why people don’t have to be very intelligent to be an inventor?
First he or she should be intelligent. But not very because only some of the thinkers did well in school. And creativity is not about getting high test scores having a high IQ or being smart
By the way, what does EQ stand for?
3. Guide the Ss to say out the following points.
① People should try new ways to solve a problem and break away from old thought patterns.
② People should try to combine new with old ideas in many different ways as possible. By comparing and connecting ideas and objects in new ways. People may think of new application and solutions.
③ Good ideas are no accident. They are the result of a long process of trial and error. So keeping trying is important. Failure is the mother of success, as we know.
Step 3 Careful reading
As paragraph one notes, great thinkers seem have little in common-----they have different backgrounds, IQ and education. What they do have in common are the thinking habits outlined in the reading?
1). What are their thinking habits according to the text?
Can you find a sentence from the passage to explain each thinking habit?
2). What’s creative thinking?
3). If we keep trying some of the thinking strategies of the great and famous, what may be the result ?

Period 5 Integrating Reading & Writing
Goals: 1.Learn a reading passage to improve the Ss’ reading ability and learn about science metaphors.
2. Do writing practice to improve the Ss’ ability of writing a process essay around computer.
Step 1 Lead-in and talking
T: How many of you have a computer at home? Please put up your hands. Who do you do with your computer?
S: I search for information on the Internet.
Play games with it.
Draw picture or type a file.
Send e-mails to friends.
Listen to the music.
Watch football matches.
Read books on the Internet.
T: Yes, we can do these things mentioned easily depending on computers. But we can also do these things without a computer.

S2 Listen to music on the tape recorder.
Watch football matches, on TV, etc.
T: You’re quite right. Now technology is often used in old ways. That means we can use some old words to describe new technology and science for example “store, memory, cut, paste”. We call these science metaphors. Now please have a discussion in groups of four to complete the chart shown on the screen.
The Internet: used as a library/ TV/ telephone P
used to send e-mails
read news from home and abroad
Cellphone: used as a telephone/ a telephone directory/ a video game player
a watch/ a calender/ a alarm clock/a torch
Step 2 Reading
T: Well done Now we are going to read a passage about science metaphors. Turn to P62 and try to find out the answer to the two questions.
1. Why are scientific metaphors like “memory” and “cut and paste” useful?
How many they limit our thinking?
Answer: They make it easier for as to understand and use a new tool. They may make it more difficult for us to use the new invention in the best way.
2. Think of more words we use to talk about computers and Internet. How well do they describe the things or action they are used for? Are there other words we could use tat might be better?
copy, file, delete, lock, enter, return, store
Step 3 Listening and explanation
1. Read the passage again and get the following phrases. Then ask the Ss to make some sentences
be said to do.
A be similar to B
be different from
after all
Now(that) 既然
2. Read the passage aloud; one student one paragraph..
Step 4 Pre-writing and writing
T: Just now, we talked about computers. Most of you have a desktop computer at home. And as you can see, I’m using a laptop computer.
T: Yeah. These are the most popular computer that use can final. But have you ever heard that a new type of computer---the palmtop computer has been invented. (show the picture)
This is a palmtop which is a kind of computer that we can put on our palm. It’s very small, light and convenient to carry about? Do you like it?
S: Yes, I wish I could have one.
T: From these computers. We know computers are getting smaller and smarter. Can you imagine what the first computer was like?
S: I must have been very big people need a large house to put it in and run slowly. It was built in 1946.
T: What do you think they will look like in the future and how we will use them?
Who’d like to tell us your opinion?
Collect the Ss’ opinions.
Possible opinions: Look like a watch or a cellphone.
Use them to watch TV, read books, ......
Check the date arrange memory thing for people.
That would be a real computer society.
T: Very good. Now, imagine that you had to describe a computer to someone who lived in the 19th century.
How would you explain it? What would you compare it to?
( look like, development, uses of computers in different fields, machine, at high speed, calculate, in many fields, it is said that) These words maybe available and helpful
Let the students have a discussion and writer their composition. Check one student’s writing and then give out a sample description.:
Samples:
Have you ever seen a computer?Now let me tell you something about the computer. A computer is an electric calculating machine that can store and recall information and make calculations at very high speed. It is a wonderful machine and can do most of the things people can do, but it can work millions of times faster. The first large, modern computer was built in 1946, and people needed a large house to put it in. In the last few years there have been great changes in computers. Today they can be used in many fields. People even use it to pay their bills or order what they want . It is said that in the future computers would arrange everything for people, and do almost all kinds of work. That would be a real computer society! I believe that the computer will sure become smaller and smart, which you take where you go.
Step 5 Summary and Assignment
Today we read a passage about toe scientific metaphors and know these phrases (omission). In this Unit we also learn how to become more creative by practising good thinking strategies. They can be used to study English too. Read the tips on P64 and try the ideas in future and they are helpful for your English study. Don’t forget to finish the workbook
VI 备课体会
1、本单元教学设计基于教学参考和课本资料,教学任务高计主要围绕以下几个主题:①任务目标。教学步骤中每一步都将成为下一教学步骤的铺垫,在每一步骤中,教师设计具体任务,让学生参与到课堂互动中,并完成具体的任务。在写作课中,Discussion能充分使学生如释重负。②自主学习。本单元的两个主题任务渗透中Period 2 和 Period 3 Reading部分,都要求学生在课余进行资料收集、整理并在课堂上报告,对于基础较弱的学校,教师可以事先收集资料让学生课前阅读。③着重思维培养,围绕话题 Invention 进行多方面的扩展,并且能较好地利用 Pre-reading 部分,引发学生积极思维、讨论。 Post-reading 作为较高要求进行教学设计,可选择使用。④课堂总结,当堂巩固。每堂课都进行总结,并复习重点词汇。在授课过程中,在师生互动中呈现并教授新学词汇,并落实在课文和练习巩固中。对于长句、难句,教师进行控制性提问和分析。⑤尽量引入最新的科技,富有时代性,并引导学生利用网络资源。
2、课堂容量较大,特别是练习。在实际上课中很可能需要调整课时,特别是Period 3 Reading 部分。一般来说,一个单元需要7-8个课时,5-6个课时加上2节练习课(同步作业本),本单元中还需一个课时全面复习定语从句。
Young Scientist of the Year 2003
Congratulations to 16-year-old Adnan Osmani from St Finians College, Mulllingar, Co Westmeath who is the winner of the 2003 EsatBT Young Scientist and Technology competition.His winning entry incorporates a new type of browser for speeding up internet usage by 400%. The project, labelled 'The Graphical Technological and User-friendly Advancement of the Internet Browser: “XWEBS is”, says Adnan “the most feature-packed web browser the world has ever seen.” It will allow users to load up even the heaviest of websites in less than 18 seconds, something which the schoolboy says is up to four times faster than any existing internet explorer. The project impressed the judges with its comprehensive range of features which includes an animated character using human speech to read out web pages. The judges described his achievement and depth of knowledge as 'far in advance of his years' and tipped 16-year-old Adnan Osmani to take over from Bill Gates as the world's computer whiz kid.Already a number of major computer companies have expressed an interest in the teenager's invention. More than 1,000 students had taken part in the competition and out of 910 entries, 477 projects made it through to the final round. Minister for Education and Science Noel Dempsey and Tom Byrne, of ESAT-BT, presented Adnan with a cheque for ¤3,000, a Waterford Crystal trophy and the opportunity to represent Ireland at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists taking place in Budapest in September 2003.Additional awards presented included Best Group Winners Cathal Mullin, Eimear Smith and Liam O'Kane from St Patrick's CoEd Comprehensive, Derry; individual runner-up went to Mairead McCloskey, Loretto College, Derry.

Announcing the new Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge device
or BOOK
The BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. It's so easy to use even a child can operate it. Just lift its cover!
Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere -- even sitting in an armchair by the fire -- yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disc.
Here's how it works:
Each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. These pages are locked together with a custom-fit device called a binder which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence. Opaque Paper Technology (OPT) allows manufacturers to use both sides of the sheet, doubling the information density and cutting costs in half.
Experts are divided on the prospects for further increases in information density; for now BOOKs with more information simply use more pages. This makes them thicker and harder to carry, and has drawn some criticism from the mobile computing crowd.
Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet.
The BOOK may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. The BOOK never crashes and never needs rebooting, though like other display devices it can become unusable if dropped overboard. The “browse” feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move forward or backward as you wish.
Many come with an “index” feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.
An optional BOOK mark accessory allows you to open the BOOK to the exact place you left it in a previous session, even if the BOOK has been closed. BOOK marks fit universal design standards; thus, a single BOOK mark can be used in BOOKs by various manufacturers. Conversely, numerous BOOK marks can be used in a single BOOK if the user wants to store numerous views at once. The number is limited only by the number of pages in the BOOK. (BOOK marks can be purchased commercially in a wide variety of styles, or easily created at home from readily available materials by the BOOK user.)
You can also make personal notes next to BOOK text entries with optional programming tools: Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Stylus (PENCILS).
Portable, durable, and affordable, the BOOK is being hailed as the entertainment and information communication wave of the future. The BOOK's appeal seems so certain that thousands of content creators have committed to the platform. Look for a flood of new titles soon.

SEFCB2 unit 19 The merchant of Venice 说课稿
一、教材分析
本单元的中心话题是“莎士比亚与他的戏剧”;内容涉及“莎士比亚”、“威尼斯商人”、“亨利四世”、“哈姆雷特”、“罗密欧与朱丽叶”、“特洛伊罗斯与克瑞西达”等。语言知识和语言技能都是根据“莎士比亚与他的戏剧”这一中心话题设计的。
1、Warming up部分由两个练习组成。第一个练习要求学生说出书中对白出自莎士比亚的哪部戏剧,并解释他们的含义。要完成这个练习,学生首先得对莎士比亚的作品要有所了解,因为,要准确理解戏剧中的对白,学生就必须要了解故事情节及相关背景。第二个练习的目的是要帮助学生更多地了解莎士比亚的作品,尤其是他创作的戏剧。
2、Listening部分由两个练习组成,听力内容是一段独白,向学生介绍了《威尼斯商人》的故事片段,该片段为阅读部分的故事提供了背景。第一个练习就故事的主要内容设置了四个问题,比如,故事发生的地点、借款与还款方式等。第二个练习用图表的形式,直观地考察学生对故事中五个主要人物的身份、表现以及他们之间的关系的理解。这两个练习主要训练学生把握文段细节的能力。
3、Speaking部分要求学生就“同情与报复”和“爱情与金钱”这两个话题进行讨论。这是贯穿《威尼斯商人》始终的两条线索,对他们的讨论至今仍有着现实意义。对这两个问题的回答,直接或从侧面反映了人们的人生观、价值观以及人们对待生活的态度。因此,在教学和训练本单元有关“在交谈中强调细节”的日常用语的同时,教师还有责任给学生以正确的引导,帮助学生明辨是非,确立正确的人生价值取向,建立符合社会规范的道德体系,并做遵纪守法的公民。
4、Reading部分是根据莎士比亚的戏剧《威尼?

Reference for Teaching
Ⅰ.异域风情
The African ancestors of today’s black Americans were brought to the US as slaves in the seventeenth,eighteenth,and nineteenth centuries.They worked on farms,especially the large farms in the southern states.Slowly they became a necessary part of the economic system of the South.
Slaves did not have the rights of people;according to the law,they were a “thing” which belonged to the person who bought them.They had to obey the orders of their owners without questions.They were not allowed to learn to read;their owners feared the educated slaves would begin to think about the injustice of the system and would learn to struggle for their freedom.Slaves had to work long hours in every unhealthy conditions.Their owners had complete power over them.They could be bought and sold like animals.At the slave markets,black children were separated from their parents and never allowed to see them again.Slave owners had the right to punish the slaves who broke the law or was against the system.Slaves were often beaten or even killed by their owners.After the Civil War,one free slave reported that his owner killed an older slave who was teaching him to read.In theory an owner who treated a slave badly could be punished.In practice,however,the law meant nothing.
Opposition to slavery began very early in the history of the US-in 1671-but little progress was made until the beginning of the nineteenth century.By 1804 slavery was illegal in the northern states.But it continued,and even grew,in the southern states,which depended on cotton for their economic wealth.Slavery ended in the South only after the Civil War.For blacks,however,the end of slavery was only a beginning,the late beginning of a long and difficult struggle for true justice.
