This part consists of 4 aspects

1. Status andfunction of this passage

This reading passage is the highlight of this unit. Itmainly talks about Wang Kun and his sister’s dream of taking a great bike tripdown the Mekong River, their preparation for the trip and some more details ofthe Mekong River. By studying of this unit, students will know how to make planand preparation for a trip. So it not only contains the most important wordsand sentence structures of this unit but also embodies the theme of this wholeunit.

(Now let’s come to the teaching aims, they are knowledgeaims, ability aims and emotional aims. )

2. Teaching aims.

(1) Knowledge aims：to help Ss master the new words and useful expressionsand learn to express future by present progressive tense

(2) Ability aims: to developSs’ reading skills, such as skimming, scanning and the ability of readingbetween lines. to let Ss use what they have learned to describe a trip.

(That’s all for the teaching aims, now let’s come to theteaching important and difficult points.)

3. The important and difficult points:

The important point is to help Ss to master new words andexpression. The difficult point is to help Ss to develop different readingskills and reading strategies.

4. Analysis of the students（說學(xué)生）

My students are first-grade students of senior highschool. They have been learning English in junior high school and haveaccumulated a certain number of vocabularies. They have mastered some simple learningstrategies and skills with a preliminary ability of speaking and writing.However, the differences in students personality and English proficiency arevery large. So my teaching design should have gradient to meet the need ofdifferent student. Travel is an interesting topic. I will seize the studentspsychological characteristics and stimulate students interest, so that they willlearn to participate in the study, and learn to study in the participation.

(That’s all for the first part,now let’s move to the second part.)

Part2. Teaching methods and learning methods（說教法&學(xué)法）

In order to finish the teaching aims above, I’ll mainlyuse “Task-based Language Teaching method”, “Communicative Teaching method”. Tomake the class a student-centered one, the students are encouraged to work ingroups and learn cooperatively, so they have more opportunities to practice. Teacheracts as an organizer, a listener and a helper.

And teaching aids are multi-media computer, tape-recorderand blackboard.

Part3. Teaching procedures.（說教程）

Now, let’s come to the most important part, the teachingprocedure. It includes 6 steps: Step I: Lead-in,Step II: pre-reading, Step III: While-reading, Step IV: Consolidation, Step V:Post-reading, StepⅥ: Homework.

Step I: Lead-in (3mins)

When we learn this lesson, the students just came back fromthe National Day not long before. I will take advantage of this opportunity tolet the students share their travel experience in class. So they will enjoy thefun of traveling. And then I will introduce the topic of this lesson to the Ss:how to make plan and preparation for a travel.

Purpose:Let theSs talk about their travel experience will greatly stimulate their interest inparticipating in the class.

Step II : pre-reading(4 mins)

1. T: Q1: Have you visitedany river? Q2: How many great rivers doyou know?

Q3 : If you could traveldown only one of them, which one would you choose? Why?

Show the Ss some picturesof rivers, ask the Ss to guess the names of these rivers.

2. T: Have you visited theMekong River? If no, let’s learn something about it. Show the Ss the picture ofMekong and ask them to list the countries the Mekong River flows through. Then Iwill introduce some background information of Mekong to the students. Such usthe Chinese part of the river is called the Lancang river.

Purpose: to arouse the Ssinterest in learning. Improve the SS language expressing ability.

Step III:While-reading (21mins)

(While-reading is the main part and it will takes 21 mins. This step isdivided into 3 parts.)

1) Review new words

Considering that thenew words may affect the understanding of the text, so I will review the newwords to the SS first, such us: ever since, persuaded, cycling, graduating,finally, schedule, fond of , shortcoming, stubborn, organize.

2）Fast reading：skimming &scanning

During fastreading, I will ask the Ss to reading the whole passage quickly and get themain idea of each paragraph.

Para1: Deciding totake a great bike trip along the Mekong river.

Para2: Differentattitudes between Wang Kun and Wang Wei.

Para3: Thepreparation before the trip and details about Mekong river.

Purpose: to trainSs’ reading ability, such as skimming and scanning. And help the Ss understandthe general idea of the text.

3) Careful reading: intensive reading

Let the students read the passage again and do a T or Fexercise. And if it is F, I will ask them to correct it. In this step, I’m going to divide the Ss into fourgroups, and let them have a competition. The one who stand up fast and give theright answer can get ten marks for his group, the group which gets the highestmark will get a present.

This exercise canhelp the Ss get the key information of the passage in a short time and candeepen the Ss’ understanding of the text.

Step IV :Consolidation (6mins)

1. Play the tape of the passage forthe students to listen and then ask them to read it aloud. Tell them to payattention to the pronunciation, stress and intonation while listening. At thesame time they can enjoy the beauty of English language. And it can prepare theSs for the retelling in next step.

Purpose here is to improve Ss’ ability to grasp the mainideas when listening.

2. let the Ss complete the formsparagraph by paragraph.

Purpose here is to help Ss to get the habit of reading apassage as a whole, and pay attention to the organization of the text, as aresult the Ss will fully understand the whole passage.
