At the beginning of the class, the teacher can lead in the topic of the unit by showing students a map of Canada or other pictures of Canada and let the students describe them or talk about Canada.‎ Warming Up is intended to find out how much general knowledge students already have about Canada. It will also give a chance to those who have visited or read about ‎ Canada to share their knowledge with the rest of the class. So allow students some time to give short talks, show photographs, etc. and motivate others to become interested in Canada too.‎ Pre-reading contains three questions which encourage students to reflect on their personal experiences and information and their own ideas. This discussion leads to the reading passage in which they may find some facts they recognize as well as new information. Students can be encouraged to discuss these questions. Then they are asked to look at the title of the reading passage and the pictures to predict what the passage is about. This part is very useful for the next part Reading.‎ The reading passage A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH” describes a trip across Canada by train. Have students read the passage by themselves and identify new words and expressions. As they read, ask them to find the places mentioned on the map of Canada. It is useful to have them discuss with a partner what they think the new vocabulary mean, and to work together on the map. The teacher can identify new words and structures that students might find difficult and pre-teach them to make the reading easier. Students are encouraged to skim for the general idea and scan for further understanding. After reading, students are required to do the exercises in Comprehending to see how much they have understood the reading passage. The teacher can let them work in pairs or in groups to find the answers cooperatively, and then check their answers with the whole class. Meanwhile, deal with any language problems that students meet.‎ To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, students should be required to read the passage again and then retell it. In order to arouse their interest, the teacher can hold a competition. The teacher also needs to make a summary on the passage including the general idea, writing characteristics, and so on to let students understand the passage further at the end of the class.‎ 教学重点 ‎1.

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.‎ 教学重点 Get students to understand and use noun clauses as the appositive.‎ 教学难点 Enable students to learn how to use noun clauses as the appositive correctly.‎ 三维目标 知识目标 ‎1.

As usual, the teacher will first get students to review what they learned in the last period, and then lead in the new lesson.‎ We will focus on training students’ listening ability in this period. The listening passage introduces information about the cultural and racial composition of Canada. Canada is one of the few countries that have an official multicultural policy. The ‎ population is changing rapidly and immigrants from China are among the most numerous recently. Make sure students go through the exercises before they listen to the tape. This is to sharpen their attention. It will also help them get the gist of the listening text. The teaching procedures may be as follows: First, let students think about and discuss what they know about Canada’s population and the fact that it is a country of immigrants. Second, go through the incomplete sentences in Exercise 2 and guess what the topic of the listening text is. Play the ta pe for students to listen to and decide whether their guessing is right. Third, ask them to listen again for them to do Exercise 2. Fourth, let them listen a third time to check their answers. While they are listening, the teacher should pause and repeat the key sentences to help students understand. Wh en checking the answers, explain some difficult listening points if necessary. In the end, show them the listening text and let them read and retell it. This step can help students understand and grasp the listening material far further.‎ Next, students will listen to a report which Li Daiyu and Liu Qian were asked to give telling their new Canadian friends about China. The purpose of this listening passage is to allow students to make a comparison between Canada and China in terms of geography and natural features. The teacher can let students read the directions and go through the exercises before listening. Then ask them to listen to the tape and finish their exercises. They should make notes while listening. When students listen to the text, tell them to ignore the words they don’t know and to concentrate on understanding the gist of the text. Perhaps some students will find it hard to listen to and understand listening materials. Encourage them not to give up. The more they listen to English, the easier it becomes.‎ After practicing listening, students are required to talk about some of the major similarities and differences between China and Canada. Encourage them to say something. Don’t always correct the mistakes they have made while they are talking. Otherwise, they would feel reluctant and not say anything more.‎ 教学重点 ‎1.

We will deal with two parts: “THE TRUE NORTH” FROM TORONTO TO MONTREAL in Using language on Page 38 and IQALUIT—THE FROZEN TOWN in Reading Task on Page 74. While reading, get students learning to use some reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and so on. As to new words and phrases, the teacher can first find those students feel most difficult and help them to understand. That’s enough here. The reading passage “THE TRUE NORTH” FROM TORONTO TO MONTREAL takes the visitors on a visit to Toronto and Montreal, two of Canada’s major cities. The functional items dealing with direction and position are further introduced in the text, as there a r e further descriptions of Canada. The teacher can ask some students to retell the passage A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH” or ask some questions to lead in the topic and then ask students to read the passage and do some comprehending exercises. And meanwhile let them find out the expressions dealing with direction and position and try to keep them in mind. While checking their answers with the whole class, deal with language problems students can’t work out by themselves. This is an extensive reading lesson, so the teaching steps should be simple. As to the passage IQALUIT—THE FROZEN TOWN, it gives students information about the Inuit people in Northeastern Canada. Ask students to read through the passage and try to kn ow more and finish their reading task.‎ At the end of the class, ask students to retell the two pas sages. In order to arouse students’ interest, the teacher can hold a competition among them.‎ 教学重点 ‎1. Develop students’ reading skills by extensive reading.‎ ‎2.
