整体设计
教材分析
This is the sixth teaching period of this unit. The teacher can first check the homework, let students review what they learned in the last lesson and then lead in the new lesson.
In this period, the teaching activities will focus on Listening task, Reading and speaking task, and Writing task. Listening task and Reading and speaking task offer the students the opportunity to enjoy Act Ⅱ, Scene 3 and Act Ⅱ, Scene 4 of this play.
For Listening task, the teacher should first ask students to make a list of all the changes that Henry has made to his life and discuss with their partner what difference this will make to the way people treat him. Then let students listen carefully to Act Ⅱ, Scene 3 and write down the main idea. Next, they listen to the tape again for detailed information, make notes as they listen and check their answers with their partner.
As to Reading and speaking task, first let students discuss the two questions in pairs (1. What will Henry and Portia tell each other about themselves?
2. What will they keep a secret from each other? ), and then have them listen to the tape and read the play aloud, paying attention to the rhythm, pronunciation and intonation so as to act out the play in the end.
Writing task is more challenging, for it involves a higher level of interpretive skill. So the teacher should give them enough encouragement and necessary help. Before they can write their dialogue between Henry and Portia, help them evaluate these characters as presented in the play by letting them discussing the related questions with their partner and give them as much advice as possible on how to finish their task. Writing is a higher stage of language learning. The teacher should frequently give students some assignments of writing. Only in this way can students use what they have learned more freely.
