Unit 5　Canada—“The True North”‎ Period 5　Using language: Extensive reading 整体设计 教材分析 This is the fifth teaching period of this unit. As usual, the teacher should check students’ homework and offer chances for them to go over what they learned in the last period at the beginning of the class. Then lead in the new lesson.‎ In this period, the teaching emphasis will be put on developing students’ reading ability by reading extensively. We will deal with two parts: “THE TRUE NORTH” FROM TORONTO TO MONTREAL in Using language on Page 38 and IQALUIT—THE FROZEN TOWN in Reading Task on Page 74. While reading, get students learning to use some reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and so on. As to new words and phrases, the teacher can first find those students feel most difficult and help them to understand. That’s enough here. The reading passage “THE TRUE NORTH” FROM TORONTO TO MONTREAL takes the visitors on a visit to Toronto and Montreal, two of Canada’s major cities. The functional items dealing with direction and position are further introduced in the text, as there are further descriptions of Canada. The teacher can ask some students to retell the passage A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH” or ask some questions to lead in the topic and then ask students to read the passage and do some comprehending exercises. And meanwhile let them find out the expressions dealing with direction and position and try to keep them in mind. While checking their answers with the whole class, deal with language problems students can’t work out by themselves. This is an extensive reading lesson, so the teaching steps should be simple. As to the passage IQALUIT—THE FROZEN TOWN, it gives students information about the Inuit people in Northeastern Canada. Ask students to read through the passage and try to know more and finish their reading task.‎ At the end of the class, ask students to retell the two passages. In order to arouse students’ interest, the teacher can hold a competition among them.‎ 教学重点 ‎1. Develop students’ reading skills by extensive reading.‎ ‎2.
