passage into 4 parts and sum up the main idea of each part.You can discuss in the group of four. After the discussion,ask some students about their opinion. T:OK,which group would like to share your idea with us? S:Part 1:Para 1.The main idea is you are sent to Pudong‎ ‎Airport to meet business people. S:Part 2:Para 2-3.It mainly talks about the examples of learned or cultural “body language”. S:Part 3:Para 4-5.It tells us that different peoples have different body language. S:Part 4:Para 6.It’s the summary of body language.‎ Step 6 Retell the story T:Since you have read the text for three times,I guess you have totally understood the text.Now let’s check whether you have comprehended the text.On the blackboard,it’s the summary of our reading text.But it’s not complete.You have to think out a proper word to fill in each blank without reading your textbook.After filling the missing words,you will have a complete summary of the text.Now,I will give you 5 minutes to do this task. My boss has sent me to Pudong Airport to meet some _________ people from many parts of the world,who are interested in the _________ of business in China.The first one to arrive is Mr.Garcia from Columbia with Julia ‎ Smith,a British lady, _________ behind closely.I _________ them to each other and I’m _________ to see Mr.Garcia comes up to Ms Smith.Just then,a visitor from Japan,comes in and __________ when the Canadian,Mr.Cook __________ out his hand to him.It happens that Mr.Cook’s hand __________ the Japanese’s nose as he bows and they both __________.So you see,people from __________

people around the world __________ hands when they meet while __________ people will bow.People from Jordan stand quite __________ to other men and shake hands and kiss others on the __________.In a word,body language differs in different cultures and is widely used in __________. Suggested answer:‎ My boss has sent me to Pudong Airport to meet some business people from many parts of the world,who are interested in the development of business in China.The first one to arrive is Mr.Garcia from Columbia with Julia Smith,a British lady,following behind closely.I introduce them to each other and I’m surprised to see Mr.Garcia comes up to Ms Smith.Just then,a visitor from Japan,comes in and bows when the Canadian,Mr.Cook reaches out his hand to him.It happens that Mr.Cook’s hand touches the Japanese’s nose as he bows and they both apologize.So you see,people from different cultures may not greet others in the same way.English people usually do not stand very close to others or touch the strangers as people from Spain,Italy and South American countries do.Most people around the world shake hands when they meet while Japanese people will bow.People from Jordan stand quite close to other men and shake hands and kiss others on the cheek In a word,body language differs in different cultures and is widely used in communication.‎ Step 7 Language Points Focus T:So much for the exercises.Now look through the passage again and see if you have any language problems. S:I don’t know what’s the meaning of the sentence “Not all cultures greet each other the same way,nor are they comfortable touching strangers or being too close or too far away.”? T:This sentence means “不是所有人都以同样的方式寒暄。接触陌生人时,距离太近或太远都会使他们不舒服。” In the sentence,you have to pay special attention to the usage of “not...nor...”which means “既不……也不……”.For example,they do not shake hands with women,nor are they likely to kiss women publicly.“nor” implies the negative meaning,so when it is put at the beginning of the sentence,the sentence should be inverted.表示否定意义的nor放在句首,该句子应用倒装语序,即把be动词、助动词或情态动词放在主语前。如,Not a single word did he say at the meeting last night.The words having the similar usage with nor are “not,never,seldom,hardly,rarely,little”.如,Never has he been to China.他从来没有来过中国。 T:Are you clear now with the usage of “nor”? S:We are clear now. T:Do you have any other language problems? S:I am not quite sure about the usage of “likely”. T:In the passage,the sentence “People from places like Spain,Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them.” means 从西班牙、意大利或南美洲国家来的人近距离地接近对方,而且可能会(用身体)接触对方。There are two structures of “likely”.They are “sb./sth.is likely to do sth.” and “It’s likely that+clause”.如,He’s very likely to be late for class.他很有可能会上课迟到。It is likely to rain tonight.今晚可能要下雨。 T:Any more questions?If not,let’s move on to discussion.‎ Step 8 Discussion After the explanation of the language points,the students have got a total understanding of the reading text.Then teacher draws the students’ attention back to the text and puts forward a topic for them to discuss.Divide the students into four-person groups and give them five minutes to think about the question “Is body language important?” After the discussion,let the students report their discussions. T:Let’s come back to our discussion.Since you have a complete understanding of the text,I have a question for you.Is body language important? T:After your discussion with your partners,I would like you to report your discussions.Time is limited to 5 minutes.Go. ‎(After 5 minutes.) T:OK,who would like to be the first to give your report on the discussion? S:Let me try.I think body language is important,because it is used anytime and anywhere to convey people’s ideas,feelings,information,and so on. S:We can tell a lot from others’ body language.Even if they don’t speak,we know if they are sad by looking at their facial expressions. T:Good point.One more.Who would like to continue? S:Body language may have different meanings in different cultures.So it’s important for us to know more so that we won’t cause misunderstanding during our communication.‎ Step 9 Summary and Homework T:Today we’ve learned a text about body language.Just like verbal language(言辞),body language is part of culture.It plays an important role in daily communication.So,it is very important to understand and use it correctly.And for a foreign language learner,it is necessary to learn body language as well as to learn verbal language. T:So much for today.Here is the homework for you to do so that your knowledge can be consolidated. ‎1.Recite the key sentences in the text. ‎2.Finish Ex.1 on Page 27,Ex.2&3 on Page 28.Ex.1&2 on Page 63. ‎3.Collect some information about body language in different cultures.You are expected to share it with your partners in the next class. The Design of the Writing on the Blackboard Unit 4 Body

Activities and Research ‎ Speak and draw ‎1.Divide the students into pairs.Give Students A in each pair some pictures containing some body language. ‎2.Student A describes the pictures to Student B.Student B will draw out the pictures according to A’s descriptions and point out the meanings of the body language in the pictures. ‎3.Student A takes up the pictures and shows them to Student B.The students discuss the meanings of the body ‎ language shown in the pictures.They are expected to figure out the exact meanings. ‎4.The students change their roles.For this time,Student B describes the pictures and Student A draws out the pictures and points out the meanings. ‎5.The teacher figures out the correct meanings of the body language in each picture. Reference for teaching Background Information Body language of Americans Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk.Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture.It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States,people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction.The handshake must be firm.If the handshake is weak,it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness.Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder.Some people,usually women,greet a friend with a hug.Space is important to Americans.When two people talk to each other,they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle,so they are not facing each other directly.Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close.They will move back to have their space.If Americans touch another person by accident,they say,“Pardon me.” Or “Excuse me.” Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking.If you don’t do so,it means you are bored,hiding something,or are not interested.But when you stare at someone,it is not polite.For Americans,thumbs-up means yes,very good,or well done,thumbs-down means the opposite.To call a waiter,raise one hand to head level or above.To show you want the check,make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper.It is all right to point at things but not at people with index finger.Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them. Learning a culture’s body language is something confusing.If you don’t know what to do,the safest thing to do is to smile. Language Points ‎1.Mr Garcia approaches Ms Smith,touches her shoulder and kisses her on the cheek.
