教學(xué)過程
Step 1Warming-up and lead-in (5 mins)
(1)導(dǎo)入
用本單元的閱讀文Marty’s story來導(dǎo)入，引出殘疾人的話題。
T: Hello, class. Inthe last lesson, we learnt Marty’s story. What’s the problem with Marty?
(He has a raremuscle disease.)
Yes, he’sdisabled.
But is Martyleading a miserable life due to his disability?
(No.)
He is leading afulfilling life due to his own efforts. The disabled can live as good andcomfortable a life as we do. But it calls for more efforts.
(2)揭題
教師通過展示我們學(xué)校的圖片以及通過采訪班上一位曾經(jīng)有行走困難的學(xué)生，點出學(xué)校有些地方可能對行走困難學(xué)生帶來不便。然后說明教學(xué)目標(biāo)：閱讀一封建議信，討論學(xué)校設(shè)施中可以改進(jìn)的地方，以及寫一封給校長的建議信。
T: We are lucky tobe able-bodied and study in such a beautiful school.
But every now andthen, I find such students in our school. What are their problems?
(They havedifficulty walking and they have to move around with walking sticks orwheelchairs.)
T: This is SongYaoguang, our classmate. Yaoguang, what happened to you?
Do you find itdifficult to walk around in our school with a walking stick?
Do you think itnecessary to have our school reconstructed for the students with walkingdifficulty?
(Yes.)
T：If you have some suggestions, you can write asuggestion letter to our headmaster. Have you ever written such a letterbefore?
So in today’slesson, we are going to
1. read asuggestion letter
2. discussproblems with the school facilities
3. write a suggestionletter to the headmaster
2 Reading (15 min)
本課是讀寫結(jié)合的綜合語言實踐課，遵循USE的模式，即Understanding(理解)→Sharing(分享)→Expressing(表達(dá))的模式。沒有優(yōu)質(zhì)的輸入就沒有優(yōu)質(zhì)的輸出，因此通過閱讀建議信來理解建議信的結(jié)構(gòu)、目的和寫作手法，是本節(jié)課的重要環(huán)節(jié)，是USE種的第一步U(Understanding)。
(1) 學(xué)習(xí)建議信結(jié)構(gòu)。
建議信是正式信件，學(xué)生以前在課堂上沒有接觸過，因此要點出建議信的結(jié)構(gòu)。
T: This is aletter to an architect. What information can we get in this part?
(receiver’s nameand address.)
What’s this partabout?
(sender’s name /signature)
From these twoparts, we learn that this is a formal letter. So a suggestion letter is aformal letter.
It is the mostimportant part in a suggestion letter, which is called the body.
(2) 通過閱讀了解主旨大意。
T：The main body can be divided into three parts. Whatare they?
(1, 2-6, 7)
T: What's thepurpose of the 1st paragraph?
(To give thearchitect the purpose of writing the letter.)
What's the purposeof the last paragraph?
(To persuade thearchitect to adopt her suggestions.)
(3) 通過閱讀學(xué)習(xí)寫建議信策略
建議信的目的是讓人接受所給的建議，一要讓讀者對你的建議一目了然，二要讓讀者覺得你的建議有道理，樂于接受你給出的建議。因此，通過閱讀學(xué)習(xí)寫作策略是非常重要的。
a) 數(shù)字和斜體的運用
T: Now, let’s cometo the concrete suggestions that Alice has made. How many suggestions doesAlice make?
Why do you thinkthe writer numbered her suggestions and used italics?
(Highlight the key points so as to make iteasier for the readers to remember and understand her suggestions.)
So when you writea suggestion letter, you should number the suggestions and use italics.
b) 具體寫建議時要結(jié)合問題和解決辦法
T: We are going tolearn some more writing strategies of writing suggestions.
How should wewrite suggestions? Let’s take a look at the first suggestion, what are theproblems for those who use wheelchair?
(the lifts are atthe back of the cinema in cold, unattractive places. As disabled people have touse the lifts, this makes them feel they are not as important as othercustomers.)
And what is thesuggested solution?
(It would be handyto have lifts to all parts of the cinema. The buttons in the lifts should beeasy for a person in a wheelchair to reach, and the doors be wide enough toenter. )
From this part, wecan see that a suggestion should consist of two parts, the problem and thesolution.
Let’s see two moreexamples. Find out the problems and suggested solutions in these two parts.
When you writesuggestions yourselves, don’t forget to write both problems and solutions.
c) 運用禮貌用語
T: The thirdwriting strategy is about the the language. Suppose you were the architect,which one of these two statements do you prefer?
(Screen) I hopeyou will not mind me writing to ask if you have thought about the needs ofdisabled customers.
You must thinkabout the needs of disabled customers.
Why? (It soundsmore polite and more acceptable.)
Exactly. When youwrite suggestions, you should use some polite forms to encourage the reader totake the ideas seriously and make your suggestions more acceptable.
Now let’s findsome more examples in the text.
(Screen)
It would be handyto have lifts to all parts of the cinema.
It would help tofit sets of earphones to all seats...
So I’d like tosuggest that the seats at the back be placed higher than those at the front …
For disabledcustomers it would be more convenient to place the toilets near…
And if the doorscould be opened outwards, disabled customers would be very happy.
I hope mysuggestions will meet with your approval.
Step 3Discussion(8 min)
小組討論是USE中的第二部S(Sharing)，分享。各學(xué)習(xí)小組合作學(xué)習(xí)，討論學(xué)校中哪些地方可能對行走困難學(xué)生帶來不便，積累寫作素材，為下一步的寫作做準(zhǔn)備。
T: Now let’s comeback to our topic today. Some parts of our school are not suitable for thosewith walking difficulty. Let’s discuss:
1. What parts ofour school may cause problems for those with walking difficulty?
2. What are yoursolutions?
Step 4 Writing(15 min)
寫作是USE中的第三部E(Expressing)，表達(dá)。經(jīng)過前面的閱讀輸入，學(xué)生們已經(jīng)基本掌握了建議信的寫作手法;通過分享，學(xué)生們積累了寫作素材;因此，寫作部分由學(xué)生完成一封給校長的建議信，指出學(xué)校設(shè)計中的不足。這也是本堂課的最終目標(biāo)，實現(xiàn)學(xué)生從輸入到輸出的轉(zhuǎn)化。老師在寫作后進(jìn)行必要的指導(dǎo)，指出學(xué)生寫作中的優(yōu)點和不足。
Now that we havediscussed the problems and solutions with some school facilities, we can writea suggestion letter to our headmaster. Take out your handouts. The first partand last part are already given to you. What you have to do is write 2-3suggestions on the reconstruction of our school. When writing, do remember towrite both problems and solutions, and use polite forms.
Step 4 Emotionalattitude and values(2 min)
通過本單元Reading和UsingLanguage部分的學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)生們有了理解、尊重、關(guān)心、幫助殘疾人的意識，因此在本節(jié)課的最后，做一個總結(jié)，也是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生情感態(tài)度價值觀的一個環(huán)節(jié)。
In this unit, wehave learned the difficulty of the disabled and how they face and conquer thedifficulty. But as able-bodies people, just making some suggestions or donatingmoney is far from enough. What else should we do?
( Care aboutdetails in their life.
Don’t look down upon them or laugh at them. )
Accept them as one of us,and invite them to join us in avariety of activities.)

?Step 6 Appreciation
Ask students to read two poems for appreciation when facing obstacles in the future.
Facing Obstacles (Two poems by Tom Krause)
The Heart of the Strong
Strong is the heart that knows not the way
of comfort and ease while living each day.
Yet continues to believe from the depths of its soul
that the future is destined to silver and gold.
Strong is the heart whose yearning is waned
by storms in life filled with heartache and pain.
Yet still gives its all—everything that it can
in search of a dream—God's ultimate plan.
When there is a victor y—when battles are won
when burdens are lifted and bright shines the sun—
when struggling souls gather—where heroes belong—
they find in themselves—the heart of the strong.
Carry On
At times when you feel troubled
when your happiness is gone
look to the heart within you
for the strength to c arry on.
In your heart you will find special virtues
such as faith and hope and love.
These gifts have been sent down to you
from a power up above.
It is faith that keeps the soul searching
for the joy the heart hopes for.
It is lo ve that heals the spirit
making it stronger than before.
And if your heart be broken
if your strength should fade away
the power of these virtues
will still win out the day.
So remember when you are troubled
when your happiness is gone
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.

教學(xué)過程
Step 1Warming-up and lead-in (5 mins)
(1)導(dǎo)入
用本單元的閱讀文Marty’s story來導(dǎo)入，引出殘疾人的話題。
T: Hello, class. Inthe last lesson, we learnt Marty’s story. What’s the problem with Marty?
(He has a raremuscle disease.)
Yes, he’sdisabled.
But is Martyleading a miserable life due to his disability?
(No.)
He is leading afulfilling life due to his own efforts. The disabled can live as good andcomfortable a life as we do. But it calls for more efforts.
(2)揭題
教師通過展示我們學(xué)校的圖片以及通過采訪班上一位曾經(jīng)有行走困難的學(xué)生，點出學(xué)校有些地方可能對行走困難學(xué)生帶來不便。然后說明教學(xué)目標(biāo)：閱讀一封建議信，討論學(xué)校設(shè)施中可以改進(jìn)的地方，以及寫一封給校長的建議信。
T: We are lucky tobe able-bodied and study in such a beautiful school.
But every now andthen, I find such students in our school. What are their problems?
(They havedifficulty walking and they have to move around with walking sticks orwheelchairs.)
T: This is SongYaoguang, our classmate. Yaoguang, what happened to you?
Do you find itdifficult to walk around in our school with a walking stick?
Do you think itnecessary to have our school reconstructed for the students with walkingdifficulty?
(Yes.)
T：If you have some suggestions, you can write asuggestion letter to our headmaster. Have you ever written such a letterbefore?
So in today’slesson, we are going to
1. read asuggestion letter
2. discussproblems with the school facilities
3. write a suggestionletter to the headmaster
2 Reading (15 min)
本課是讀寫結(jié)合的綜合語言實踐課，遵循USE的模式，即Understanding(理解)→Sharing(分享)→Expressing(表達(dá))的模式。沒有優(yōu)質(zhì)的輸入就沒有優(yōu)質(zhì)的輸出，因此通過閱讀建議信來理解建議信的結(jié)構(gòu)、目的和寫作手法，是本節(jié)課的重要環(huán)節(jié)，是USE種的第一步U(Understanding)。
(1) 學(xué)習(xí)建議信結(jié)構(gòu)。
建議信是正式信件，學(xué)生以前在課堂上沒有接觸過，因此要點出建議信的結(jié)構(gòu)。
T: This is aletter to an architect. What information can we get in this part?
(receiver’s nameand address.)
What’s this partabout?
(sender’s name /signature)
From these twoparts, we learn that this is a formal letter. So a suggestion letter is aformal letter.
It is the mostimportant part in a suggestion letter, which is called the body.
(2) 通過閱讀了解主旨大意。
T：The main body can be divided into three parts. Whatare they?
(1, 2-6, 7)
T: What's thepurpose of the 1st paragraph?
(To give thearchitect the purpose of writing the letter.)
What's the purposeof the last paragraph?
(To persuade thearchitect to adopt her suggestions.)
(3) 通過閱讀學(xué)習(xí)寫建議信策略
建議信的目的是讓人接受所給的建議，一要讓讀者對你的建議一目了然，二要讓讀者覺得你的建議有道理，樂于接受你給出的建議。因此，通過閱讀學(xué)習(xí)寫作策略是非常重要的。
a) 數(shù)字和斜體的運用
T: Now, let’s cometo the concrete suggestions that Alice has made. How many suggestions doesAlice make?
Why do you thinkthe writer numbered her suggestions and used italics?
(Highlight the key points so as to make iteasier for the readers to remember and understand her suggestions.)
So when you writea suggestion letter, you should number the suggestions and use italics.
b) 具體寫建議時要結(jié)合問題和解決辦法
T: We are going tolearn some more writing strategies of writing suggestions.
How should wewrite suggestions? Let’s take a look at the first suggestion, what are theproblems for those who use wheelchair?
(the lifts are atthe back of the cinema in cold, unattractive places. As disabled people have touse the lifts, this makes them feel they are not as important as othercustomers.)
And what is thesuggested solution?
(It would be handyto have lifts to all parts of the cinema. The buttons in the lifts should beeasy for a person in a wheelchair to reach, and the doors be wide enough toenter. )
From this part, wecan see that a suggestion should consist of two parts, the problem and thesolution.
Let’s see two moreexamples. Find out the problems and suggested solutions in these two parts.
When you writesuggestions yourselves, don’t forget to write both problems and solutions.
c) 運用禮貌用語
T: The thirdwriting strategy is about the the language. Suppose you were the architect,which one of these two statements do you prefer?
(Screen) I hopeyou will not mind me writing to ask if you have thought about the needs ofdisabled customers.
You must thinkabout the needs of disabled customers.
Why? (It soundsmore polite and more acceptable.)
Exactly. When youwrite suggestions, you should use some polite forms to encourage the reader totake the ideas seriously and make your suggestions more acceptable.
Now let’s findsome more examples in the text.
(Screen)
It would be handyto have lifts to all parts of the cinema.
It would help tofit sets of earphones to all seats...
So I’d like tosuggest that the seats at the back be placed higher than those at the front …
For disabledcustomers it would be more convenient to place the toilets near…
And if the doorscould be opened outwards, disabled customers would be very happy.
I hope mysuggestions will meet with your approval.
Step 3Discussion(8 min)
小組討論是USE中的第二部S(Sharing)，分享。各學(xué)習(xí)小組合作學(xué)習(xí)，討論學(xué)校中哪些地方可能對行走困難學(xué)生帶來不便，積累寫作素材，為下一步的寫作做準(zhǔn)備。
T: Now let’s comeback to our topic today. Some parts of our school are not suitable for thosewith walking difficulty. Let’s discuss:
1. What parts ofour school may cause problems for those with walking difficulty?
2. What are yoursolutions?
Step 4 Writing(15 min)
寫作是USE中的第三部E(Expressing)，表達(dá)。經(jīng)過前面的閱讀輸入，學(xué)生們已經(jīng)基本掌握了建議信的寫作手法;通過分享，學(xué)生們積累了寫作素材;因此，寫作部分由學(xué)生完成一封給校長的建議信，指出學(xué)校設(shè)計中的不足。這也是本堂課的最終目標(biāo)，實現(xiàn)學(xué)生從輸入到輸出的轉(zhuǎn)化。老師在寫作后進(jìn)行必要的指導(dǎo)，指出學(xué)生寫作中的優(yōu)點和不足。
Now that we havediscussed the problems and solutions with some school facilities, we can writea suggestion letter to our headmaster. Take out your handouts. The first partand last part are already given to you. What you have to do is write 2-3suggestions on the reconstruction of our school. When writing, do remember towrite both problems and solutions, and use polite forms.
Step 4 Emotionalattitude and values(2 min)
通過本單元Reading和UsingLanguage部分的學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)生們有了理解、尊重、關(guān)心、幫助殘疾人的意識，因此在本節(jié)課的最后，做一個總結(jié)，也是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生情感態(tài)度價值觀的一個環(huán)節(jié)。
In this unit, wehave learned the difficulty of the disabled and how they face and conquer thedifficulty. But as able-bodies people, just making some suggestions or donatingmoney is far from enough. What else should we do?
( Care aboutdetails in their life.
Don’t look down upon them or laugh at them. )
Accept them as one of us,and invite them to join us in avariety of activities.)

Facing Obstacles (Two poems by Tom Krause)
The Heart of the Strong
Strong is the heart that knows not the way
of comfort and ease while living each day.
Yet continues to believe from the depths of its soul
that the future is destined to silver and gold.
Strong is the heart whose yearning is waned
by storms in life filled with heartache and pain.
Yet still gives its all—everything that it can
in search of a dream—God's ultimate plan.
When there is a victor y—when battles are won
when burdens are lifted and bright shines the sun—
when struggling souls gather—where heroes belong—
they find in themselves—the heart of the strong.
Carry On
At times when you feel troubled
when your happiness is gone
look to the heart within you
for the strength to c arry on.
In your heart you will find special virtues
such as faith and hope and love.
These gifts have been sent down to you
from a power up above.
It is faith that keeps the soul searching
for the joy the heart hopes for.
It is lo ve that heals the spirit
making it stronger than before.
And if your heart be broken
if your strength should fade away
the power of these virtues
will still win out the day.
So remember when you are troubled
when your happiness is gone
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.
