Unit 4 Global warming 教学设计第4课时Period 4 Listening and Speaking教学内容分析The emphasis of this period will be placed on listening and speaking. There are altogether two texts for the students to listen to in this period: one is in the Student's Book and the other is in the Workbook. The first one(on Page 31, Listening and speaking)is a conversation between two people, Li Bin and Professor Keeling, who is a scientist studying global warming. Professor Keeling has been mentioned in the reading passage on Page 26.The listening text is a radio interview about the use of fossil fuels and other sources of energy. It contains examples of the focus function for this unit: agreement and disagreement. While listening to Part 1 for the first time the students are asked to decide which statement in Exercise 1 Professor Keeling does NOT agree with. Then students are required to listen to Part 1 again and tick the energy sources that are mentioned in the text. After listening to Part 2 students are asked to list three things they can do to save energy. At last they should also listen to Part 2 again and fill in the blanks in Exercise 4.The second one(on Page 65 , Listening Task)involves an environmental organization. A student, Tom, is giving an oral presentation. As with most oral presentations that students give, Tom has some visual aids to go with his talk. Students will first be required to listen to the whole speech to get the general idea, and then listen again and take some notes about some facts mentioned in the speech. 三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1.

There isn't enough for it.(3) What makes it impossible for us to use sun power at present?A. The danger.B. The technology.C. Beingclean.Suggested answers: (1)C (2)A (3)B2. Listen to Part 1 of Text 1 again(Page 31 )and tick the energy sources that are mentioned. Complete the notes on them.Sources of energyNotesFossil fuelsWind powerEnergy from the sunNuclear powerSuggested answers:Sources of energyNotesFossil fuelsproduce carbon dioxidecheap and concentrated form of energyWind powercleannot practical: need huge areas of land to provide enoughenergyEnergy from the suncleannot very practical with present technologyNuclear powerdoesn't produce carbon dioxidedangerous3.Listen to Part 2 of Text 1 (Page 31 )and choose the best answers to the followingquestions.(1) How many suggestions does Professor Keeling offer?A. 2B. 3C. 4(2) Which of the following is to blame for global warming?A.

Then in groups discuss who you agree with and give reasons. Use some of the expressions listed above or any others they know.Give the students three minutes to prepare and practice, and then ask two groups to demonstrate their dialogues in front of the whole class.Step 5 HomeworkWrite a passage to talk about global wanning and people's different views on it.Step 6 Reflection after teaching
