【英语】2018届人教版必修1一轮复习：Unit3Traveljournal单元教案设计（22页）
Unit 3 Travel journal单元教案设计
第一部分
《金色教案》教学设计说明
About the topic and the structures
单元话题和结构
本单元的话题是“Travel Journal/ 旅行日志”。通过本单元的学习让学生思考什么是？为什么旅游？旅游，我们走遍五湖四海去找大地的爱；旅游，找那心的根，找那心的源，找出生命所在。本单元中学生还将学习使用“现在进行时表未来”。
《金色教案》教学设计在单元课时划分上与课本保持一致，即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中，我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排等因素，对课本、对《金色教案》教学设计重新划分课时，裁剪、拼接使用教案提供的材料，以便“物尽所用”，达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以参照教案提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。
Period 1
Reading
阅读课
Warming Up “热身”的目的是为阅读在一定程度上作好话题、词汇和结构的准备，激发学生相关的背景知识和学习兴趣。对此教案提供了“讨论”、“看图说话”和“问答”三种不同的“热身”设计供教师选用。实际操作中还需要教师动用诸如板书、投影等辅助手段，以达到最佳教学效果。
Pre-reading
要求学生发表自己对人们如何利用江河的主观看法，为阅读短文做心理的铺垫和知识的准备。中国的河流有5万多条(流域大于100平方公里)，最重要的河流有7条，即松花江、辽河、海河、黄河、淮河、长江和珠江。另外，我国还有黑龙江、雅鲁藏布江、澜沧江、怒江、红河、伊犁河、额尔齐斯河等出境河流和边界河流，一般水量较丰。Reading是篇记叙文，记叙了Wang Kun和他的伙伴策划一次沿江骑自行车旅行的事情。骑车出游的乐趣并不是自驾车可以代替的，相约三五知己，结伴同游，一路上可以随意停留，或在林中小憩，或于古迹驻足，轻松悠闲，不亦乐乎。本文虽然是记叙文，但是语言难度较大，教师可以按照教案提供的阅读教学模式引导学生从形式和内容两方面阅读文章、理解文章、提高对旅行对认识，对祖国大好河山的认识。
Period 2
Learning about language
知识课
Learning about language 首先要求学生利用录音机朗读课文，强化学生对本单元重点词汇、短语、结构和话题的掌握；然后要求学生完成课本第20、21页提供的“词法”“句法”练习。接下来系统学习和总结“直接引语和间接引语”。
Period 3
Using language
运用课
Using language 以谈论拉萨导入本课后，重点是帮助学生阅读“顺湄公河而下”。 湄公河源头在我国青海唐古拉山，全长4880公里，在我国内河道里程长2161公里，从勐腊县南腊河口244号界桩处出境后，澜沧江始称湄公河，流经缅甸、老挝、泰国、柬埔寨、越南5个国家，最后在越南胡志明市附近注入太平洋。其后提供的听、说、写活动也是围绕湄公河展开的。
实际教学过程课时划分建议
Period 1
将Warming Up、 Pre-reading、Reading和Comprehending整合在一起上一节“阅读课”。
Period 2
将Learning about language 和Workbook中的 USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS、USING STRUCTURES 整合在一起上一节“语言知识课”。
Period 3
将Using language 设计为一节包括听说读写单项技能或组合技能训练的“综合技能课（一）”。
Period 4
将Workbook 的READING AND LISTENING和TALKING整合在一起上一节“听说课”。
Period 5
将Workbook 的LISTENING TASK、READING AND WRITING TASK和 SPEAKING TASK整合为一节“综合技能课（二）”。
第二部分

Period 2 A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language
(The Present Continuous Tense for future action)
Introduction
In this period students will be helped to do “Discovering useful words and expression” exercises first. Then they will be offered help with their learning of the present continuous tense for future action. To end they will be asked to write plans for travel.
Objectives
■ To help students learn about the Present Continuous Tense for futurity
■ To help students discover and use some useful words and expressions
■ To help students write travel plans
Procedures
1. Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions
Hello everyone. After reading the passage, we have got to know the usage of the words and expressions, but we should do more practice. Now turn to page 20 to find the correct words and expressions from the passage to finish the sentences. You are given two minutes to finish them and discuss with your partners. Two minutes later, check in pairs and then check with the whole class.
2. Reading and finding
Good, you have mastered these words and expressions. Let’s turn to page 17 and look at the questions in Warming up. Underline the verbs in the questions, and pay attention to the verb forms and do some explanations by yourselves.
3. Studying the futurity use of the preset continuous tense
We can see that the verbs are all used in the “-ing” form. They are “the present continuous tense”, but they express future actions or plans. The Present Continuous Tense may be used to denote an action that can be pre-planned or prearranged instead of the future indefinite in colloquial English. But please note that, not all verbs can be used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs as come, go, leave, fly, walk, ride, drive, stay, meet, die, see, have, arrive etc. are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express future actions.
4. Going over the read ready used materials
About the present continuous tense for future actions or plans
be + v.-ing与表示将来的时间连用，表示不久的将来，含义是“预定要做”。（这种结构中常用动作动词或去向动词：go, come, leave, start, arrive, travel, fly等，不适用于状态动词）

Period 3 A sample lesson plan for Using Language
(JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG )
Introduction
You are advised to lead in by talking about Tibet which is a wonder for a travel trip. Then help students with their reading of Journey down the Mekong. Translation of the text into Chinese is proposed.
Objectives
■ To help students make use of what they learned in this unit in communication
■ To help students use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing
Procedures
1. Warming up by talking about Tibet
Have you ever been to Tibet? Do you want to travel in Tibet? Can you tell me something about Tibet?
Tibet lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the southwest border of China. The average height of the whole region is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, for which Tibet is known as “Roof of the World”. The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas and in the whole world, is Everest Peak, which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above sea level.
Although a part of China, Tibet has a unique culture of all its own. It is mainly inhabited by Tibetans, a minority nationality of old and mysterious people. Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of Buddhist sacred places.
Tibet (Xi Zang in Chinese) is to the south of Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province, to the west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and to the north of India and Nepal. Its population of 2.3 million people come from a variety of ethnic groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota. Its capital city is Lhasa.
Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual and unique animals. Across the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands where horses, yak and sheep roam freely. The world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo River Valley lies in east Tibet.
It is freezing cold in most time of the year. Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons, June, July, August and early September.
2. Reading and underlining
Now let’s go on with JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG with Wang Wei and Wang Kun. They are in Tibet now. Please turn to Page 22. Read the passage quickly and underline all the useful expressions and collocations in it. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.
Collocations from JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG (II)
ride bicycles, climb the mountain，be great fun, reach a valley, stop to do sth., make camp, put up, after supper, go to sleep, stay awake, at midnight, become clear, so …that, the sound of the fire, travel so far, join sb., hardly wait to see, change one’s attitude.
The Mekong River
1. It begins at a glacier on a Tibetan mountain which is at an altitude of more than 5000 meters.
2. It is small and the water is clean and cold at first. Then it moves quickly and passes through deep valley.
3. Half of it is in China and it is called Lancang River in China.
4. As it enters Southeast Asia , it travels slowly through hills and low valleys, and the plains where rice grow.
3. Reading and translating
Next you are going to read the text JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG and translate it into Chinese.
4. Speaking English
Read the passage again and find the answers to the questions:
1) How does Wang Kun feel about the trip? (He is starting to like the trip.)
2) What do you think has changed his attitude? (seeing the beautiful land)
3) Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely? (Yes. Because the scene Wang Kun saw is beautiful. The sky was clear and the stars were bright. Also their cousins are waiting for him.)
4) Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or why not? (You may have different opinions about this. Just speak it out and let us share your idea, will you?)
Imagine that the dialogue happens the next morning before Wang Kun and Wang Wei leave their camp. Write a short dialogue between them with your partner.
Wei: You look so tired Kun: Yes, I stayed up late last night.
Wei: Really? What did you do? Kun: I watched the clear sky and the bright stars.
Wei: That’s nice. They must be pretty. Kun: Yes, they were.
5. Listening
Let’s turn to page 23 and do the listening text. Before listening to the tape, please read the words fast, and then tick the words you hear on the tape. After that I’ll play the tape for the second time and then finish the chart. You should look through the chart and find out the listening points. The following questions can help you understand the listening text.
Where is the girl from? What do people in Laos use the river for? Why do people in Laos call the river “the sea of Laos”? What is the river called in Tibet and Vietnam? What other beautiful sights along the Mekong River in Laos?
6. Guided writing—Writing a short email
Now let’s do a writing practice. Imagine that you are a friend of Wang Wei. Write a short email to her and ask her to describe: how she feels, what she is doing, and some place you want to know about. Then wish her well on her journey by using at least two of these expressions:
Have a nice/good time. Have a nice/good trip. Take care.
Good luck on your journey. Say “Hello” to …. Write to me.
Give my best/love wishes to …. Have fun.
You can refer to the following steps.
☆ In pairs choose the details from the journey that are most interesting. Think of what else you would like to know about the journey. Write these ideas down as questions.
☆ Now choose two or three of the best questions for your letter. Each question should have another sentence explaining why you want to know this information.
☆ Put them in an order that makes sense.
☆ Begin your letter as shown in the textbook and add your questions for Wang Wei. Your writing should not be more than one paragraph.
☆ Finish your letter as shown in the textbook.
A sample piece of writing
Hi, brave little Wei,
How I worry about you and Wang Kun! Do you have a good time now? I hope so. What are you doing now? Are you still in Laos? Can you tell me something about people’s life there? When are you leaving for Cambodia? When you get there, tell me about the Buddhist temples there. Please send some photos with your next letter! Well, Have a good trip and don’t forget to write to me! Give my best wishes to Wang Kun. Good luck on your journey.
Take care!
Yours,

A selected English passage for recitation英文精选背诵短文
Why do people travel?
Well, first of all, I think there are a number of reasons why we travel. The main reason is curiosity. We're curious how other people live, what food they eat. What is the taste of that food? How do other people entertain? How do they make friends? Our nature isn't permanent, and our tastes changes during life cycles. We want to try something new from time to time (new food, new clothes, shoes, perfume and etc.) Our travel can involve new friends and it gives a spark to our routine life. We
dream about a trip around the globe as a panacea from our problems. But when we can't afford traveling even inside our own countries it becomes a psychological problem for our mind and body. I wish that all people could travel at least locally, within a region or a state. Traveling gives us a feeling of belonging to this world and our role in the global living!
