Teaching tools:
StepⅠ
It’s my great honor to have this opportunity to present my teaching thoughts. My teaching material is a passage chosen from unit9 in the last volume of the Eighth grade. The title of the passage is “Have you ever been to singapore?” The teaching aims to help Ss read the passage for the main idea and more details and make them be interested in knowing about the culture of foreign countries. It is not only involving in pre-reading, while-reading activities, but also in explanation of language points.
StepⅡ
First, I’d like to ask you “Have you ever thought about travelling to a favorite foreign destination?” Now please try to talk about it. Who wants to try ? Anyone? “Why would you like to go there?” “What do you think is interesting about that place?” “What famout things are there?” “Has anyone else ever been there?” Now, I’ll ask groups to choose one of the capital cities in the box and write four things your group knows about it. For example, four things about Sydney.
1. Sydney is a famous city of Australia. 2. Sydney is a seaside city. 3. Sydney Opera House is in Sydney. 4. 2000 Olympic Games was held in Sydney.
“Have you ever been to Singapore? It’s not too far from China. It’s a wonderful place to take a holiday for us Chinese tourists. The Night Safari in Singapore is very special because it allows us to watch animals at night that are normally asleep during the day. These animals are active during the night. Here is a passage about Singapore. Read it carefully, Find out three or more things you think are new to you or different from other for
eign countries. (I’ll ask some of you to say the things they’ve learned.) Play the tape for the students to listen for the first time.
We can speak Putonghua a lot of times in Singapore.
1. We can eat a lot of Chinese food in Singapore.
2. We can visit a zoo at night.
3. We can go to Singapore whenever we like.
StepⅢ
Now, we’ll focus on vocabulary used in the reading. Please read the passage carefully again
And try to remember most things in it. (After students read the passage) Please look at the book on page75 and complete the word map with the words from the reading.
Names of places: … What about animals? Seasons:… Languages:… Kinds of food: …
StepⅣ
Now look at the statements in 3c. They are all false. Use information from the reading to write four sentences. Are you clear?
StepⅤ
