7、 Up 部分利用一個(gè)關(guān)于“住”和“行”的對(duì)比研究表格引導(dǎo)學(xué)生回顧過(guò)去，認(rèn)識(shí)現(xiàn)在和展望未來(lái)。通過(guò)這一活動(dòng)，引發(fā)學(xué)生對(duì)過(guò)去，現(xiàn)在和未來(lái)的思考，使學(xué)生對(duì)將要閱讀的文章有個(gè)知識(shí)準(zhǔn)備。1.2 Pre-reading 部分讓學(xué)生充分運(yùn)用發(fā)散思維，先列舉當(dāng)今世界人類(lèi)面臨的一些突出問(wèn)題，然后要求學(xué)生思考為什么會(huì)產(chǎn)生這些問(wèn)題，這些問(wèn)題中哪些在未來(lái)社會(huì)仍然可能存在，哪些將會(huì)被克服，哪些將會(huì)惡化。為下面的閱讀做了鋪墊。1.3 Reading 部分通過(guò)一封發(fā)自未來(lái)的電子郵件，講述了作者Li Qiang怎樣安全到達(dá)“未來(lái)世界”，他對(duì)“未來(lái)世界”的印象，以及“未來(lái)世界”的日常生活方式和交通工具情況。閱讀時(shí)要把重點(diǎn)放在“未

8、來(lái)世界”生活與當(dāng)今生活的不同點(diǎn)上。1.4 Comprehending 部分設(shè)計(jì)了三個(gè)教學(xué)活動(dòng)來(lái)加深學(xué)生對(duì)Reading部分的理解。第一個(gè)活動(dòng)要求學(xué)生通過(guò)閱讀找出“未來(lái)世界”在以下幾個(gè)方面的變化：跨時(shí)空旅行，交通，住房，城鎮(zhèn)環(huán)境和空氣質(zhì)量。接著讓學(xué)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(shuō)明理由。第二個(gè)活動(dòng)要求學(xué)生通過(guò)閱讀來(lái)判斷Li Qiang對(duì)“未來(lái)世界”的態(tài)度是樂(lè)觀的還是悲觀的。學(xué)生要在文中找出支持自己觀點(diǎn)的論據(jù)，盡可能說(shuō)服別人。第三個(gè)活動(dòng)讓學(xué)生想象一下Li Qiang將會(huì)去參加哪些活動(dòng)。這樣既鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生展開(kāi)豐富的想象，又為Using Language部分的語(yǔ)篇學(xué)習(xí)做了鋪墊。1

9、.5 Learning about Language部分突出了本單元的一些重點(diǎn)詞匯及語(yǔ)法。首先通過(guò)完成語(yǔ)篇來(lái)考查學(xué)生運(yùn)用本單元詞匯的能力，并且通過(guò)練習(xí)，讓學(xué)生區(qū)分兩種動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)，一種是以動(dòng)詞為中心的詞組，另一種是以介詞為中心的詞組。語(yǔ)法部分要求學(xué)生主動(dòng)找出閱讀語(yǔ)篇中的重點(diǎn)結(jié)構(gòu)過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)和狀語(yǔ)，然后加以應(yīng)用。1.6 Using Language 部分涵蓋了聽(tīng)，說(shuō)，讀，寫(xiě)四項(xiàng)語(yǔ)言基本技能。要求學(xué)生通過(guò)閱讀I HAVE SEEN AMAZING THINGS 一文，對(duì)Li Qiang旅行的第三站有個(gè)總體的印象，并能找出部分細(xì)節(jié)知識(shí)。1.7 SUMMING UP 部分歸納了本單元的主要學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容并讓學(xué)

10、生自我檢測(cè)一下學(xué)習(xí)效果。1.8 LEARNING TIP 部分告訴學(xué)生在討論時(shí)記筆記的好處和方法。2. 教材重組2.1 可將Warming Up, Pre-reading, Reading 和 Comprehending 整合在一起上一節(jié)精讀課。2.2 Using Language 中的reading 和 listening 是 Li Qiangs travel to the future的延續(xù)，可將這兩部分及Workbook 中的LISTENING整合起來(lái)上一節(jié)聽(tīng)力課。2.3可將Learning about Language 和 Workbook 中的 USING WORDS AND EXP

11、RESSIONS 及USING STRUCTURES整合起來(lái)上一節(jié)語(yǔ)法課。2.4 將 Workbook 中的 READING TASK 和 LISTENING TASK 結(jié)合起來(lái)上一節(jié)泛讀課，進(jìn)一步拓展學(xué)生的思維和想象力。2.5 將 Using Language中的speaking 和 Workbook中的TALKING 整合在一起上一節(jié)口語(yǔ)課，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生對(duì)現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行反思，對(duì)未來(lái)進(jìn)行大膽猜測(cè)(make predictions)。2.6 將Workbook 中的 SPEAKING TASK 和 WRITING TASK 整合起來(lái)上一節(jié)寫(xiě)作課，同時(shí)對(duì)整個(gè)單元進(jìn)行一個(gè)小結(jié)。3. 課型設(shè)計(jì)與課時(shí)分配 1s
