4　Listening and Speaking ‎ Period 5　Reading and Writing Period 6　Summing Up，Learning Tip and Assessment Period 1　Warming Up，Pre－reading，‎ Reading and Comprehending 教学内容分析　　　‎ This is the first teaching period of this unit.The central part of this period is the reading passage with the title of “The Earth Is Becoming Warmer—But Does It Matter？” talking about the global issue which has a great effect on human beings' life.‎ Warming Up gives six pictures to help students list the sources of energy they can think of in our daily life.Then they will be led to discuss which energy source is “renewable” and which is “non－renewable”．This part is designed to help the students to recall their background knowledge about energy and prepares students for the whole unit.‎ Pre－reading provides a picture of a greenhouse and then tells us what a greenhouse is and what “greenhouse gases” are.The students will be led to discuss what they think greenhouse gases do，leading to the topic of the reading passage.‎ Reading is a passage from an environmental magazine for young people.It puts forward the possible effect of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and different points of view about it.It also analyzes the causes of the earth's increased temperature.It poses questions and encourages students to think about the issues.There are two graphs in it that tell us the “temperature difference from long－term average,1860－2000” and “carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere,1957－1997”．Characters in the passage—Dr Janice Foster，George Hambley and Charles Keeling are all real persons and their views reflect the views of some scientists today.‎ Comprehending consists of three written or oral exercises for the students to do so as to help the students to get a better understanding of the text，that is to say，to help the teacher to check how much the students have understood the text.‎ 三维目标设计　　　‎ Knowledge and skills ‎1．To know the meanings of the following new words and

students' reading ability by skimming and scanning the passage.‎ ‎5．To develop the students' speaking ability by talking about global warming.‎ Process and methods ‎1．While doing Warming Up the teacher can lead in the topic of this unit by showing students some pictures or videos about sources of energy，making the students recall their own knowledge about energy.‎ ‎2．During Pre－reading the teacher can go around the classroom and discuss the questions with several students.This discussion should be student－centered and lead them to the topic of global warming.The teacher should also ask the students to look at the graphs in the reading passage and try to find out the general idea of the text.‎ ‎3．While doing Reading and Comprehending，the teacher may first ask the students to read the text quickly to get the general idea of each paragraph.After reading the passage，students are encouraged to answer some questions and discuss the text structure.‎ ‎4．To consolidate the contents of the reading passage，the students should be required to retell the text in their own words at the end of the class.‎ Emotion，attitude and value ‎1．To make students realize the harm of global warming and the importance of environmental protection.‎ ‎2．To develop students' sense of cooperative learning.‎ 教学重、难点　　　‎ ‎1．To enable the students to learn about global warming and to develop their reading ability.‎ ‎2．To enable the students to talk about what we should do to prevent global warming.‎ Step 1　Warming up ‎1．Warming up by reading and talking：‎ Read through the exercise with the class.Put students in groups of four to talk about what we use energy for，what are the sources of these energy and whether the sources are renewable or non－renewable.‎ Suggested answer：The six photos are：windmills；a coal power station；an oil refinery；a nuclear power plant；solar panels；a hydro－electric dam.‎ ‎2．Warming up by discussion：‎ Draw a form on the blackboard as follows：‎ Things that use energy Sources of energy Renewable/non－renewable ‎ ‎　Let the students have a discussion and collect suggestions from students and write them under the appropriate heading.‎ Suggested answer：‎ Things that use energy Sources of energy Renewable/non－renewable ‎ lights heating ‎ television ‎ cassette player ‎ video recorder ‎ computer ‎ coal non－renewable fridge ‎ stove ‎ hairdryer ‎ ‎...‎ oil ‎ non－renewable natural gas non－renewable wind power ‎ renewable solar energy ‎ renewable nuclear energy ‎ non－renewable hydro－electric power ‎ renewable biomass energy ‎ renewable geothermal energy ‎ renewable tidal energy renewable Step 2　Pre－reading ‎1．Show a picture of a greenhouse to students and ask them what a greenhouse is made of and what its purpose is.‎ Suggested answer：It's made of glass and plants can grow in it when it's cold outside.‎ Ask the students how it works.‎ Suggested answer：The glass traps the heat from the sun，making the air warm so that plants grow better.‎ ‎2．Ask students what they think “greenhouse gases” are and what they think greenhouse gases do.Look at the picture above and explain it to their partners.‎ Suggested answer：Greenhouse gases perform the same function as the glass in a glasshouse：they trap the heat of the sun and keep the air surrounding the earth warm.This is called the greenhouse effect.)‎ Step 3　Reading and comprehending ‎1．Fast reading Ask students to read the passage quickly so as to get the key words and general idea of each paragraph and answer the following questions：‎ ‎(1)What is the main topic of the article?‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎(2)Who wrote the magazine article？What is the name of the magazine?‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎(3)What are the names of the three scientists mentioned in the article？Do they agree with one another?‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ Suggested answers：(1)Global warming/the warming of the earth.(2)Sophie Armstrong，Earth Care.‎ ‎(3)Dr Janice Foster，Charles Keeling，George Hambley.They don't agree with each other.‎ ‎2．Detailed reading ‎(1)Read the passage carefully and judge whether the statements are true(T) or false(F)．‎ ‎①Janice Foster believes that global warming is caused by the burning fossil fuels.(　)‎ ‎②Natural gas is a greenhouse gas.(　)‎ ‎③Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.(　)‎ ‎④People accept Charles Keeling's data because he took accurate measurements.(　)‎ ‎⑤Flooding could be one of the effects of future global warming.(　)‎ ‎⑥George Hambley believes scientists are just guessing about the effects of global warming.(　)‎ ‎⑦George Hambley is worried about the effects of carbon dioxide on plant growth.(　)‎ ‎⑧It is clear what the effects of global warming will be.(　)‎ ‎(Suggested answers：TFTTTTFF)‎

over the issue of global warming.‎ Part 2(Paragraphs 2 to 5)‎ To illustrate how global warming comes about.‎ Part 3(Paragraph 6)‎ To list two different attitudes among scientists towards global warming.‎ Part 4(Paragraph 7)‎ It's up to readers to think and decide whether people should do something about global warming or not.‎ Step 4　Language study Dealing with any language problem if any(words or sentences students might not understand)to help the students to have a better understanding of the text.‎ Step 5　Listening，reading aloud and underlining ‎ Ask students to read the passage aloud to the tape and let them pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence.Tell them to pick out all the useful expressions or collocations from the passage while reading and copy them to the notebook after class as homework.‎ Collocations：come about，There is no doubt that...，subscribe to，due to，greenhouse effect，quantities of，tend to，be trapped in，go up，result in，on the one hand...on the other hand，be opposed to，build up，keep on.‎ Step 6　Retelling Ask students to talk about global warming in their own words.Give them some key words and

warming on the Internet，and show your class in the next period and talk about them.‎ Step 8　Reflection after teaching ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ About Global Warming(关于全球变暖)‎ Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near－surface air and oceans since the mid－20th century and its projected continuation.Global surface temperature increased 0.74±0.18℃(1.33±0.32)between the start and the end of the 20th century.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was very likely caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanic eruptions had a small cooling effect after 1950.These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 40 scientific societies and academies of science，including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.‎ Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 6.4℃(2.0 to 11.5)during the 21st century.The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions.Most studies focus on the period up to the year 2100.However，warming is expected to continue beyond 2100 even if emissions stop，because of the large heat capacity of the oceans and the long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.‎ An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount ‎ and pattern of precipitation，probably including expansion of subtropical deserts.Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers，permafrost and sea ice.Other likely effects include changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events，species extinctions，and changes in agricultural yields.Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe，though the nature of these regional variations is uncertain.‎ Political and public debate continues regarding global warming，and what actions(if any)to take in response.The available options are mitigation to reduce further emissions；adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming；and，more speculatively，geoengineering(地球工程)to reverse global warming.Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.‎ Period 2　Language Study 教学内容分析　　　‎ The emphasis of this period will be placed on the important new words，phrases and sentence patterns in Warming Up，Pre－reading，Reading，Comprehending and Discovering useful words and expressions in Learning about Language.There are altogether 53 new words and phrases in these five parts.20 of them are marked with triangles，which shows that the students needn't learn them by heart.It is enough to recognize them when meeting them while reading the passage.The other 33 should all be remembered，among which the following words and expressions are even more important：tend，range，subscribe to，go up，widespread，state，glance，steady，tendency，keep on，on the whole，quantity of，be opposed to，come about，result in，even if.They are all very useful and important.So are the sentence patterns “...it is a rapid increase when compared to other natural changes.” and “There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer...” We ought to pay more attention to them.‎ 三维目标设计　　　‎ Knowledge and skills ‎1．To get the students to learn to use the following important new words and phrases freely：tend，range，subscribe

it is a rapid increase when it is compared to other natural changes。‎ 一般说来，省略现象多出现在下列五种状语从句中：‎ ‎(1)由 when，while，as，before，after，till，until，once等引导的时间状语从句；‎ ‎(2)由whether，if，unless 等引导的条件状语从句；‎ ‎(3)由 though，although，even if，whatever等引导的让步状语从句；‎ ‎(4)由 as，than 等引导的比较状语从句；‎ ‎(5)由as，as if，as though 等引导的方式状语从句。‎ 上述状语从句在省略时，并非任何成分都可以省略，而是遵循以下原则：[来源:学#科#网Z#X#X#K]‎ ‎(1)当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时，可以省略状语从句的主语和系动词be，这时从句中可出现如下结构：‎ ‎①连词(as，as if，once)＋名词。如：‎ Once(he was)a worker，Pang Long now becomes a famous singer.‎ 庞龙曾经是个工人，现在成了一位著名的歌手。 ‎ ‎②连词(though，whether，when)＋形容词。如：‎ Work hard when(you are)young，or you'll regret.‎ 趁年轻要努力学习，要不然你会后悔的。‎ ‎③连词(whether，as if，while)＋介词短语。如：‎ He looked everywhere as if(he was)in search of something.‎ 他到处看似乎在找什么东西。‎ ‎④连词(when，while，though)＋现在分词。如：‎ While(he was)holding talks with President Hu Jintao，US President George W．Bush thanked China for its important role in the Six－Party Talks.‎ 在与胡锦涛主席会谈时，美国总统布什感谢中国在六方会谈中起的重要作用。 ‎ ‎⑤连词(when，if，even if，unless，once，until，than，as)＋过去分词。如：‎ The exhibition is more interesting than(it was)expected.‎ 这次展览比被预料的有趣得多。‎ ‎⑥连词(as if，as though)＋不定式。如：‎ Olympic gold medalist hurdler Liu Xiang opened his lips as if(he were)to speak.‎ 奥林匹克金牌获得者跨栏运动员刘翔张开嘴，好像要说什么。‎ ‎(2)当从句的主语是it，谓语动词中又含有系动词be 时，可以把it和系动词be一起省略。此时构成连词(if，unless，when，whenever)＋形容词的结构。如：‎ Unless(it is)necessary，you'd better not refer to the dictionary.‎ 如果没有必要，你最好不要查字典。‎ ‎2．There_is_no_doubt_that the earth is becoming warmer...(P26)‎ 毫无疑问地球正在变暖……‎ 在There is no doubt后常可跟that引导的同位语从句(在肯定句中，doubt后面有时可跟whether引导的从句)。‎ There is no doubt that you will succeed if you try your best.‎ 毫无疑问如果你尽最大努力你一定会成功。‎ There is no doubt that he will come on time.他一定会准时来。‎ 类似常用结构：‎ There is no knowing/telling...没法知道/说……‎ There is no need...没有必要……‎ There is no question...……是没有问题的。‎ There is no reason...没有理由……‎ There is no possibility that...……是没有可能的。‎ It is no/small wonder that...(No wonder that)．..难怪……‎ It is a wonder that...……真奇怪/真是令人惊奇。‎ Step 6　Homework ‎1．Finish off the Workbook exercises.Do Exercise 1 in Using Words and Expressions in your exercise book.‎ ‎2．Learn the useful new words and expressions by heart.‎ Step 7　Reflection after teaching ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ Period 3　Grammar—the Use of “It”(2)‎ 教学内容分析　　　‎ This teaching period mainly deals with the grammar：the use of “it”．“It” has many usages in the English language.“It” can be used as a pronoun and the form of subject and object，and be used to express emphasis.From Unit 3 we know that “it” can be used as a pronoun and the form of subject and object.In this unit we will learn that “it” can be used to express emphasis.This kind of sentence is called emphasized sentences.Its main form is “It is/was...that/who...”，which is a very useful sentence pattern.‎ 三维目标设计　　　‎ Knowledge and skills ‎1．To get the students to know the structure of the emphasized sentences.‎ ‎2．To let the students learn the usages of the emphasized sentences.‎ ‎3．To enable the students to use the emphasized sentences correctly and properly.‎ Process and methods ‎1．To ask the students to read the reading passage again，pick out the emphasized sentences from the reading passage and translate them into Chinese.‎ ‎2．To ask the students to discover the structure and usages of the emphasized sentences by comparing a lot of example sentences.‎ ‎3．To ask the students to do the exercises in Discovering useful structures on Page 29 to master the emphasized sentences.‎ ‎4．To ask the students to summarize the usages of the emphasized sentences.‎ ‎5．To ask the students to do the exercises in Using Structures on Page 64 and some other additional exercises for consolidation.‎ Emotion，attitude and value ‎1．To get the students to become interested in grammar learning.‎ ‎2．To develop the students' ability of comparing and summarizing.‎ 教学重、难点　　　‎ ‎1．To get the students to master the structure and usages of the emphasized sentences.‎ ‎2．To enable the students to learn how to use the emphasized sentences.‎ Step 1　Revision ‎1．Check the homework exercises.‎ ‎2．Dictate some new words and expressions.‎ Step 2　Warming up Ask the students to compare the two sentences below.The second sentence is from the reading passage.Translate them into Chinese and then discuss any difference in meaning and form.Ask the students to explain why “it” is used in the second sentence.‎ Human activity has caused this global warming.‎ It_is human activity_that has caused this global warming.‎ Tell the students there are two more sentences in the text in which “it” is used for emphasis.Find them and then write them down.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ Suggested answers：‎ ‎1．It_was a scientist called Charles Keeling，who made accurate measurements of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997.‎ ‎2．...it_is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that has resulted in this increase in carbon dioxide.‎ Step 3　Grammar learning ‎ Ask the students to study the following sentences and try to summarize the structure of the emphasized sentences.‎ Step 4　Summing up Try to help the students draw the following conclusions.‎ ‎1．The main structure of the emphasized sentences is “It is/was...that/who...”．‎ ‎2．The emphasized sentences can be used to emphasize the subject，object and adverbial(including adverbial of time and adverbial of place)．‎ ‎3．When we want to emphasize the subject，object and adverbial，we only need to put these parts between “it is/was” and “that/who”，the rest part shouldn't be changed.‎ ‎4．When the emphasized part is a person we can use both the structure “It is/was...that...” and the structure “It is/was...who...”．When the emphasized part is not a person we can only use the structure “It is/was...that...”．‎ Step 5　Grammar practice Ask students to do the following exercises：‎ ‎1．Change the following sentences into emphasized sentences.(To emphasize the underlined parts.)[来源:学科网]‎ ‎(1)Peter lent us the money.‎ ‎(2)They want money.[来源:学科网][来源:学+科+网]‎ ‎(3)All this happened on_Monday.[来源:学.科.网]‎ ‎(4)I didn't hear from her until_last_summer.‎ ‎(5)Why does everyone think I am narrow－minded?‎ Suggested answers：‎ ‎(1)It was Peter who lent us the money.‎ ‎(2)It is money that they want.‎ ‎(3)It was on Monday that all this happened.‎ ‎(4)It was not until last summer that I heard from her.‎ ‎(5)Why is it that everyone thinks I am narrow－minded?‎ The last two may be a little difficult for the students.Help them to get the correct answer.‎ ‎2．Do Exercise 2 in Discovering useful structures on Page 29.‎ ‎3．Do the exercises in Using Structures on Page 64.‎ First ask students to do the exercises individually，and then let them discuss and check their answers with their partners，and finally give them correct answers and deal with any problems they might meet.‎ Step 6　Getting more about the grammar Show the following sentences to the students and ask them to find what the similarity of these sentences is.‎ Suggested answers：‎ In these three sentences，the underlined parts are all clauses—a subject clause and two adverbial clauses.That is to say，the emphasized sentence can not only be used to emphasize subject，object and adverbial，but also be used to emphasize subject clauses and adverbial clauses.Pay special attention to the third sentence，in which “not” and “until” must be put together.‎ Then show the following two sentences to students and ask them to translate them into Chinese.Pay attention to the sentence pattern.‎ Suggested answers：(1)美国宇航员是于1969年成功登陆月球的吗？‎ ‎(2)究竟是谁在路上放了这么多大石头？‎ The general question sentences and the wh－question sentences of the emphasized sentences should follow the following formulas：‎ Is/Was it＋被强调部分＋that＋其他部分 Wh－疑问词＋is/was it that＋其他部分 Step 7　Task－based learning ‎ Ask students to choose a topic they like(eg.global warming，wildlife，protection，music，film，etc)．Work in groups and try to tell the information they know about the topic using emphatic “it”．‎ EXAMPLES：‎ It was during the 20th century that the temperature of the earth went up about one degree Fahrenheit.‎ It was Charles Keeling who made accurate measurements of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.‎ Step 8　Closing down by a quiz Show students the following on the screen or give out test papers to them and then ask them to finish these exercises in 10 minutes.‎ ‎1．Was it in

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 skills ‎1．To understand the meanings of the following key words and expressions while hearing

‎________________________________________________________________________‎ Ⅰ.国际知名环保组织介绍 这些国际性的环保组织克服了重重困难，获得了世界范围内的响应和支持，依靠组织手段，将提倡的环保概念普及，并通过各种环保项目的实施，切实推动世界各地的环保进程。‎ ‎(1)世界环保组织(IUCN)‎ 全名为International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural ‎ Resources，缩写为IUCN，该组织历史悠久，1948年即在瑞士格兰德成立，是政府及非政府机构都能参与合作的少数几个国际组织之一。由全球81个国家、120个政府组织、超过800个非政府组织、10 000个专家及科学家组成，该组织共有181个成员国，实际工作人员已超过8500名。组织每3年召开一次世界自然保护大会(World Conservation Congress)。IUCN旨在影响、鼓励及协助全球各地的协会，保护自然的完整性与多样性，并确保在使用自然资源上的公平性，及生态上的可持续发展。‎ ‎(2)世界自然基金会(WWF)‎ WWF是在全球享有盛誉的、最大的独立性非政府环境保护机构之一，在全世界拥有将近500万支持者和一个在90多个国家活跃着的网络。WWF的使命是遏止地球自然环境的恶化，创造人类与自然和谐相处的美好未来，保护世界生物多样性；确保可再生自然资源的可持续利用；推动降低污染和减少浪费性消费的行动。该组织的标志为大熊猫。‎ ‎(3)全球环境基金(GEF)‎ GEF是关于生物多样性、气候变化、持久性有机污染物和土地荒漠化的国际公约的资金机制。GEF通过其业务规划，支持发展中国家和经济转型国家在生物多样性、气候变化、国家水域、臭氧层损耗、土地退化和持久性有机污染物的重点领域上开展活动，取得全球效益。自1991年启动以来，GEF已通过1000多个项目，向140多个发展中国家和经济转型国家提供了大约40亿美元赠款，并从各种渠道吸引了120亿美元的项目融资。2002年8月，32个捐资国保证，在随后4年内，向GEF提供近30亿美元，用于GEF活动。‎ ‎(4)国际绿色和平组织 ‎1971年，12名怀有共同梦想的人从加拿大温哥华起航，驶往安奇卡岛(Amchitka)，去阻止美国在那里进行的核试验。他们在渔船上挂了一条横幅，上面写着“绿色和平”。尽管在中途遭到美国军方阻拦，他们的行动却触发了舆论和公众的声援。次年，美国放弃在安奇卡岛进行核试验。在此后的30多年里，绿色和平组织逐渐发展成为全球最有影响力的环保组织之一。该组织继承了创始人勇敢独立的精神，坚信以行动促成改变。同时，通过研究、教育和游说工作，推动政府、企业和公众共同寻求环境问题的解决方案。绿色和平组织在中国的环保项目包括气候与能源项目——致力于减缓由燃烧煤、石油和天然气等化石燃料造成的气候变化，还有致力于消除有毒污染物的污染防治项目，森林保护项目品等。‎ ‎(5)地球之友(Friends of Earth)‎ 在香港地区创立的“地球之友”(Friends of the Earth International)是著名的环境非政府组织之一，还是反全球化运动的一支重要力量。与其他环境组织一样，“地球之友”近年来也改变了就环境问题谈环境的做法，转而将环境问题与社会问题及发展问题联系起来，既扩大了活动领域，也扩大了影响。自1983年成立以来，“地球之友”曾经走过一段艰辛的路。在香港的超级物质主义的大潮流下，“地球之友”‎ 仍然坚守使命，捍卫公众利益，维护环境公义，不屈不挠地推动环保，反对扩充发电厂、滥用杀虫剂、侵占郊野土地、关注过度消费、城市空气污染、水质污染、填海和环境管理失误等问题。 ‎ Ⅱ.Kids F．A.C.E.(儿童环保组织“为了世界更清洁”)‎ Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush.Through her own efforts，her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards across the country.‎ The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids for A Cleaner Environment(Kids F．A.C.E.)in 1989.There are now 300 000 members of Kids F．A.C.E.worldwide and is the world's largest youth environmental organization.‎ Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a “Children's Forest” project in every national park.In 1992，she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program.In 1993，she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute.‎ Since the organization started，Kids F．A.C.E.members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree－planting projects include Kid's Yards—the creation of backyard wildlife habitats(栖息地)and now Kids F．A.C.E.is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey，which is a great way to start helping.‎ ‎“Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment.Club members started doing things like recycling，picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting

become a resource－sucking adult.” ‎ Period 5　Reading and Writing 教学内容分析　　　‎ The teaching materials of this period contain three parts.The first part is the reading passage on Page 30 with the title of “What Can We Do About Global Warming？”．It consists of two letters：a request from a student for help on a school project and the reply.The letters bring students' attention to a commonly held belief that individuals are powerless to do anything about ‎ environmental problems and that it is governments that are in a position to act and have the responsibility to act.Earth Care's letter suggests ways to save energy and therefore decrease the amount of carbon dioxide that is poured into the atmosphere.‎ The second part is Exercise 2 on Page 31，which asks the students to make a poster for their school that tells students various ways they can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.‎ The third part is a writing task designed by the teacher，which asks students to write a short passage about global warming.By practicing writing the passage，students can strengthen their knowledge about global warming and develop their sense of environmental protection.‎ 三维目标设计　　　‎ Knowledge and

subtopic(more body paragraphs)．‎ A sample version：‎ The Environmental Effects of Fossil Fuels There is no doubt that fossil fuels bring a lot of good to us.But do you know that many of the environmental problems our country faces today result from our fossil fuel dependence?‎ The environment faces air pollution，global warming，acid rain，and several other very serious problems because of our use of fossil fuels.Over the last 150 years，burning of fossil fuels has resulted in more than 25 percent increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.‎ Carbon dioxide is one of the main factors in global warming which is negatively affecting everyone.Fossil fuels also affect water pollution，land pollution，and thermal pollution(heat pollution)．Coal mining is one of the causes of pollution in the environment.After the mining is completed，the land will remain barren.Materials other than coal are also brought to the surface in the coal mining process and these are left as solid wastes.The production，transportation，and use of fossil fuels are to blame for the effects of pollution on the environment.Then what should we do？We should spare no effort to improve our environment.Please save energy and use fewer fossil fuels in our daily lives.‎ Step 7　Homework ‎ ‎1．Master the language points in the text.‎ ‎2．Finish the writing task.‎ Step 8　Reflection after teaching ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ Global Warming Solutions—What Can We Do?‎ The evidence that humans are causing global warming is strong，but the question of what to do about it remains controversial.Economics，sociology，and politics are all important factors in planning for the future.‎ Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases(GHGs)today，the Earth would still warm by another degree Fahrenheit or so.But what we do from today forward makes a big difference.Depending on our choices，scientists predict that the Earth could eventually warm by as little as 2.5 degrees or as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit.‎ A commonly cited goal is to stabilize GHG concentrations around 450－550 parts per million(ppm)，or about twice pre－industrial levels.This is the point at which many believe the most damaging impacts of climate change can be avoided.Current concentrations are about 380 ppm，which means there isn't much time to lose.According to the IPCC，we'd have to reduce GHG ‎ emissions by 50% to 80% of what they're on track to be in the next century to reach this level.‎ Is this possible?‎ Many people and governments are already working hard to cut greenhouse gases，and everyone can help.‎ Researchers Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow at Princeton University have suggested one approach that they call “stabilization wedges”．This means reducing GHG emissions from a variety of sources with technologies available in the next few decades，rather than relying on an enormous change in a single area.They suggest 7 wedges that could each reduce emissions，and all of them together could hold emissions at approximately current levels for the next 50 years，putting us on a potential path to stabilize around 500 ppm.‎ There are many possible wedges，including improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy(so less energy has to be produced)，and increases in wind and solar power，hydrogen produced from renewable sources，biofuels(fuels produced from crops)，natural gas，and nuclear power.There is also the potential to capture the carbon dioxide emitted from fossil fuels and store it underground—a process called “carbon sequestration”．‎ In addition to reducing the gases we emit to the atmosphere，we can also increase the amount of gases we take out of the atmosphere.Plants and trees absorb CO2 as they grow，“sequestering” carbon naturally.Increasing forestlands and making changes to the way we farm could increase the amount of carbon we're storing.‎ Some of these technologies have drawbacks，and different communities will make different decisions about how to power their lives，but the good news is that there are a variety of options to put us on a path toward a stable climate.‎ Period 6　Summing Up，Learning Tip and Assessment 教学内容分析　　　‎ This is the last teaching period of this unit，so the emphasis should be placed on going over and summarizing what has been learned in this unit.It includes the following parts：Summing Up，Learning Tip，Checking Yourself and some other consolidation exercises.‎ Summing Up summarizes the whole unit from the aspects of topics and vocabulary and grammar.The teacher can first use this part to let students sum up what they have learned in this unit and then let them find out what they can't understand very well.‎ Learning Tip gives students instructions on which kind of nouns begin with a capital letter.Let the students think about what they already know about the rules and what new information they will find.‎ Checking Yourself on Page 68 in the Workbook aims at encouraging students to make a self－assessment after they finish learning this unit.It is very important to improve their learning.Of course，a testing assessment is also needed.‎ In this period，the teacher can also provide more practice to consolidate what students have learned in this unit.‎ 三维目标设计　　　‎ Knowledge and skills ‎1．To get students to master all the useful new words and expressions in this unit.‎ ‎2．To have students understand the new grammar item “the use of ‘it’(2)” better，and enable them to use the sentence patterns correctly.‎ ‎3．To develop the students' ability to use the important language points in this unit.‎ Process and methods Design some additional exercises for students to do in order that they can learn to use and grasp all the contents.‎ Emotion，attitude and value ‎1．To encourage students to learn more about global warming and environmental protection.‎ ‎2．To inspire the students to think up more effective measures to prevent global warming.‎ 教学重、难点　　　‎ Using what they have learned in this unit to solve real problems.‎ Step 1　Revision ‎1．Check the homework exercises.‎ ‎2．Dictate some useful new words and expressions in this unit.‎ Step 2　Lead－in Ask the students to turn to Page 32.Think about what they have learned in this unit and tick the boxes to see how well they have learned them.‎ Step 3　Summing up Five minutes for the students to summarize what they have learned in this unit by themselves.Then check and explain something where necessary.‎ Suggested answers：‎ Write down what you have learned about global warming：‎ ‎(Students' answers may vary.)The temperature of the earth rose about one degree Fahrenheit during the 20th century.It is human activity that has caused this global warming.All scientists subscribe to the view that the increase in the earth's temperature is due to the burning of fossil fuels.Some byproducts of this process are called greenhouse gases，which trap heat and warm the earth.Without the greenhouse effect，the earth would be cooler than it is.But scientists don't agree with each other on the effects of global warming.Some think it will be a disaster，but some others think it's a good thing and we can do nothing to prevent the trend.By reading the second passage，we also know some easy and effective measures we can take to deal with global warming.‎ From this unit you have also learned：‎ Some useful words：tend，oppose，state，glance，quantity，range，tendency，circumstance，opposed，steady，widespread，average，consume，subscribe，advocate，refresh，graph，phenomenon，fuel，data，trend，catastrophe，flood，consequence，existence，commitment，pollution，growth，motor，can，microwave，educator，contribution，presentation，disagreement，random，mild，outer，electrical，casual，nuclear，per
