Unit1 Discovering Useful Structures教案

Analysis of the teaching material:

This teaching period mainly deals with grammar “restrictive relative clauses.” To begin with, teachers should lead students to revise what they have learned about the relative pronouns and relative adverbs. And then, teachers move on to stress more special cases concerning this grammar, such as the “preposition+relative pronouns which and whom” and cases where we can omit the relative pronouns. This period carries considerable significance to the cultivation of students’ writing competence and lays a solid foundation for the basic appreciation of language beauty. The teacher is expected to enable students to master this period thoroughly and consolidate the knowledge by doing some exercises.

Teaching aims:

1. Guide students to review the basic usages of relative pronouns and adverbs of attributive clauses.

2. Lead students to learn to use some special cases concerning restrictive relative clauses flexibly.

2. Enable students to use the basic phrases structures flexibly.

3. Strengthen students’ great interest in grammar learning.

Teaching key and difficult points:

1. Help students to appreciate the function of relative pronouns and adverbs of attributive clauses in a sentence

2. Instruct students to write essays using the proper relative pronouns and adverbs of attributive clauses.

Teaching procedures:

Step I Lead-in

Play a game:The teacher describes one or two of the teachers and let the students guess. At first, the teacher provides vague description on purpose. It's hard for the students to guess. Then the teacher leads the students to know how to describe a person in greater detail.

T:Class,you have so many teachers,and they are my colleagues. Do you know who my best friend is among them, and who borrowed a book from me yesterday? Listen:My best friend is a woman. Can you guess who she is?

Ss:No.

T:She wears a pair of glasses and always likes to wear a green skirt.

Ss:Ah,our Chinese teacher.

T:Yes,your Chinese teacher is a woman who wears a pair of glasses and always likes to wear a green skirt.In fact, she is also a person to whom I can always turn for help because she is always ready to help others. And who borrowed a book from me yesterday,do you want to know

Ss:Yes.

T:The teacher who borrowed a book from me yesterday is a man. Do you know who he is?

Ss:No.

T:And he wears a moustache and every one of you would like to talk to him because he is very humorous.

Ss:Yes,he is our physics teacher.

T:That's right. Your physics teacher is a person who wears a moustache and is very humorous. He is also a person to whom every one of you would like to talk.

So my question is why you can't guess the answers when I only told you their sexes?

Ss:We can't get enough information. T:How can you guess the answers quickly?Ss:If you describe him or her in a more detailed way.

T:Then how can I describe him or her in a more detailed way?

Ss:Use more relative clauses.

T:That's it. And this is also what we'll learn in this period.
