Unit 5Canada“The True North”Period 3Learning about language: Grammar整體設(shè)計教材分析This is the third teaching period of this unit. To test whether students have grasped the important and difficult language points they learned in the last period, the teacher should first offer them some revision exercises. Then lead in the new lesson.This teaching period mainly deals with the following: 1. Reviewing noun clauses as the subject; 2. Learning the new grammar item: noun clauses as the appositive. Students often feel noun clauses abstract and difficult to learn, so it is necessary to make the lesson interesting and lively, and connect it with their daily life in order to let it easy to accept and understand. Firstly, the teacher can ask students to read the passage A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH” again, tick out all the sentences from the passage where noun clauses are used as appositive, and then translate them into Chinese. Secondly, compare and discover the uses of each noun clause by giving a lot of example sentences. Thirdly, do the exercises in Discovering useful structures on Page 37 and more exercises for students to master the related noun clauses. Finally, summarize the use of noun clauses as appositive and let students make it clear how each noun clause is being used in the situations.At the end of the class, ask students to do the exercises in Using structures on Pages 71-72 and more additional exercises for consolidation.教學重點Get students to understand and use noun clauses as the appositive.教學難點Enable students to learn how to use noun clauses as the appositive correctly.三維目標知識目標1.
