Period 4 Using language (Reading, listening and speaking) , Unit1 Cultural relics NSEFC Module2
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I’m XXX from No.2 High School. I’m very glad to present my lesson plan here. It is from Unit1 Module 2 NSEFC, Using language, reading, listening and speaking, the fourth period.
I. Analysis of the teaching material and learners
The content of the material is about how the Amber Room got lost, which is also the clue of the whole lesson. The reading passage is about the definition of fact and opinion. There is an old miner’s story about what happened to the Amber Room for students to decide whether he gives facts or opinions. In the listening part, there are two pieces of narration about how the Amber Room got lost. Students will listen and then fill in two tables with some information missing, which is difficult for them. In the speaking section, discussions will be carried out by using the expressions from the table as the output.
My students are familiar with the Amber Room now because they have learnt about it in the previous lessons. They have learnt many useful words for describing the Amber Room, which can make listening easier. Their scanning skill, even though it is not well-developed, plays efficient role in getting the required information in the limited time. However, the students’ listening skill of note-taking is poor and the listening passage is long and difficult for them, and they have no idea about how the great treasure got lost, so finishing the table will be a difficulty. In order to make it easier for them to fulfill the listening task, some key words from the listening are given to students. Before the blank-filling, some multiple choices will be given in order to help students get the general idea of the passage.
II. Learning objectives
According to the above analysis, I set the following learning objectives. Firstly, find out the differences between a fact and an opinion by scanning. Secondly, predict the content of listening by studying the key words that may appear in the listening content. Next, take notes of the key words from listening to get some information to fill in the tables and understand the main idea as well. Finally, learn the following words and expressions (trial, evidence, explode, entrance, sink, etc). by heart.
Among all the objectives, Finding out the differences between a fact and an opinion by scanning in reading process and knowing how to tell a fact from an opinion as well as give opinions are essential for the students. It is one of the focuses of this lesson. And in this lesson, the listening practice will take up most of the time because it is important for students to know how to take notes while they are listening. So this is another focus. The skill of note-taking is vitally important for the students during the whole process of English study, but it is also a difficult skill for them at present.
III. Teaching procedure
We will spend 17 minutes on reading and 28 minutes on listening and speaking.
The first two steps are for the reading part. Step 1 is pre-reading. There are two activities. Activity 1 is reviewing. I will show students a passage about the summary of the reading passage In Search of the Amber Room. Students will fill in the blanks with the relative words of attributive clause. Blank filling with the relative words aims to check whether the students can use the grammatical rules learnt last period in another context. The last three sentences mainly talk about the loss of the Amber Room, which function as the topic for the next activity. Activity 2 is discussing. I will lead the students to discuss what information is the fact and what information is the opinion about the Amber Room from the summary. As one of the language focuses, the difference between fact and opinion will be paid much attention to in this step, which can make preparations for the following steps.
Step 2 is while-reading. There are two activities. Activity 1 is scanning to find out the definitions of fact and opinion, which is the foundation of this lesson. Activity 2 is also scanning. Students will be asked to read the story told by Jan and then fill in the table. After that, they will discuss whether the event Jan saw is a fact or an opinion by using the expressions in the table (slide). This activity offers students the chance to make judgment in a real life situation according to the definitions. They will use some expressions they know to give opinions by answering “why” questions.
Next comes the listening. There are two parts, Part A and Part B. Step 3 is pre-listening for part A. I will show students some key words and expressions from the listening material. I will explain them. The students will guess what they are going to listen from the newly learnt words and phrases. Step 4 is while-listening for Part A. I will give students two chances. After the first listening, the students will finish four multiple choices. Based on the four questions, the students will know the main idea of Part A. For the second listening, the students will be asked to take notes down, and then fill in the blanks according to the notes taken. After that, they will check the answers with their partners’. Step 5 and Step 6 are designed to deal with Part B. It will be done just as part A. Firstly, the students will study the key words from the listening and predict the content as the pre-listening activity. Then, for the first listening, listen for answers to four multiple choices to get the main idea of the listening. Lastly, for the second listening, the students will take down key words to fill in the table. Predicting with the key words may lessen the students’ difficulty in getting the information. Multiple choice exercises are for the preparation to get a general idea of the listening material, which can be helpful in the blank filling activity. The listening is the foundation for the next step.
Here comes Step 7, post-listening. There are two activities. Activity 1 is pair discussion. Based on the reading passage and the listening material, the students will be asked to decide who told the truth about the missing of the Amber Room and give the best evidence by using some functional items to ask for and give opinions in pairs. Activity 2 is a group discussion. I will create a real life situation. I will say that Shanghai Expo is a great success. The students will work in groups of four and have a discussion about whether it is the best exposition ever. During the discussion they can refer to more expressions of asking for and giving opinions in the textbook. Based on all these activities, students have got enough input. Now, it is quite natural for them to give a valid output in Step 8. After knowing what fact and opinion are and know how to give and ask for opinions, students may have less difficulty in doing this.
The class will end up with an exciting discussion. Then I will ask students to write five sentences as evidence to support their opinion that Shanghai Expo is best ever. This is the homework.
IV. Blackboard notes
These are my blackboard notes. On the left, definitions of fact, opinion and evidence are given, which can help the students understand the key point in class. In the middle are key words from the first story in listening and on the right are the key words from the second story. Those words can be helpful for the students to get the general idea and easy to write down notes while they are listening.
V. Reflection
To sum up, there is enough input from reading and listening material, which provide the students with essential knowledge about the concepts of fact, opinion and evidence necessary for students to distinguish facts from opinions for later speaking activities at output stage. This lesson can be viewed as a typical integration of reading, listening and speaking. Reading for the definitions of fact, opinion and evidence functions as the input before using the knowledge to make judgment on the facts and opinions after listening.
That’s all for my presentation. Thank you for listening.
