Teaching procedures ＆ ways 教学过程与方式

Step I Word Study

This part is a consolidation of the words learnt in this unit.

Ask the Ss to do the Exx. 1 ＆ 2 on pages 20 ＆ 21 and exercises in USING WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS in Workbook independently. Then check the answers.

Step II Grammar

The Ss will learn the usage of the past participle in different situations.

Task 1 Make clear to the Ss the usage of the past participle as the adverbial.

T: Now please look at the sentence:

Worried about the journey, I was unsettled for the first few days.

= As I was worried about the journey, I was unsettled for the first few days.

过去分词作状语：

用作状语的过去分词通常来自及物动词。过去分词用作状语时，修饰主句的谓语动词，意义上相当于状语从句，表示时间、条件、原因、伴随状况等。过去分词作状语，前边往往可以加when, while, as if, as though。一般说来，这种结构的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语一致。例如：

Whenever praised, she blushes.（作时间状语）

= Whenever she is praised, she blushes.

United, we stand; divided, we fall.（作条件状语）

= If we are united, we stand; if we are divided, we fall.

Written in great haste, this book is full of errors.（作原因状语）

= Because this book is written in great haste, it is full of errors.

Mary was reading a love story, completely lost to the romantic life.（作伴随状语）

= Mary was reading a love story, and she was completely lost to the romantic life.

Although born in Germany, John lives and works in U.S.A.（作让步状语）

= Although John was born in Germany, he lives and works in U.S.A.

Task 2 Make clear to the Ss the usage of the past participle as the attribute.

T: Now please look at these two sentences:

1. I followed him to collect a hovering carriage driven by computer.

= I followed him to collect a hovering carriage that / which was driven by computer.

2. Tomorrow you will be ready for some visits organized by the company.

= Tomorrow you will be ready for some visits that / which was organized by the company.

过去分词作定语：

a. 用作前置定语的过去分词通常来自及物动词，带有被动意义和完成意义。例如：

We like skating in the frozen lake in the winter.

= We like skating in the lake which has been frozen in the winter.

How many finished products have you got up to now?

= How many products that have been finished have you got up to now?

来自不及物动词的过去分词很少能单独用作前置定语，能作这样用的仅限以下几个词，这时仅表示完成意义，不表示被动意义：

a retired worker = a worker who has retired

an escaped prisoner = a prisoner who has escaped

a faded / withered flower = a flower that has faded / withered

fallen leaves = leaves that have fallen

the risen sun = the sun that has just risen

a returned student = a student who has returned

vanished treasure = treasure that has vanished

b. 用作后置定语的过去分词通常也来自及物动词，表示被动意义和完成意义。这明相当于一个定语从句。例如：

Things seen are better than things heard.

= Things that / which are seen are better than things that / which are heard.

The lobster broiled over charcoal was delicious.

= The lobster that / which was broiled over charcoal was delicious.

Then let the Ss do Exx. 1－4 on pages 20 ＆ 21 and exercises in USING STRUCTURES in Workbook to consolidate what they have learnt. And check the answers. If time permits, let the Ss learn the following usage of the past participle in the class.

过去分词作表语：

过去分词作表语表示主语所处的状态。用作表语的过去分词大多来自及物动词；不及物动词的过去分词能作表语的只限于少数表示位置转移的动词，如go, come, assemble等，它们用在联系动词之后，表示完成意义，无被动意义。例如：

The man looked quite disappointed.

He is greatly discouraged by her refusal.

His hair is nearly all gone.

已经形容化了的过去分词大多可作表语，常见的有:

accomplished, amazed, amused, astonished, broken, closed, completed, complicated, confused, crowded, devoted, disappointed, discouraged, drunk, excited, frightened, hurt, interested, lost, satisfied, surprised, worried等。

过去分词作宾语补足语：

a. see, hear, feel, find, think等表示感觉和心理状态的动词可以带过去分词作宾语补足语。例如：

Tom found himself involved in an awkward situation.

I saw Tom dressed like a beggar in the street.

Everybody thought the match lost until the last minute.

b. make, get, have, keep等表示“致使”意义的动词可以带过去分词作宾语补足语。例如：

I have my clothes washed everyday.

Don’t get your schedule changed; stay with us in the class.

He’s trying to make himself understood.

Please keep us informed of the latest price.

c. like, want, wish, order等表示希望、要求、命令等意义的动词可以带过去分词作宾语补足语。例如：We don’t like such topics (to be) discussed in class.

I wish this problem (to be) solved this week.

S: Matrix!

T: Yes. Good. Do you think time travel is possible?

S: I think it is possible. In the past, people cannot travel to the moon, but now they can. So with the development of science, maybe one day, we can travel to the past or to the future. This is quite possible!

T: If you have the chance to have a time travel, where would you like to visit? Why?

S: I want to visit the space station. In the future, maybe we will find out some other creatures living in other planets. I would like to communicate with them and know something about them.

Step I Warming up

Lead in the topic by discussing the possibilities of living under the sea. Encourage the Ss to use their imaginations.

T: Have you ever watched the movie “The Little Mermaid”? Do you like the sea? I myself like the sea very much. I always think that how great it will be if I have the chance to live under the sea! Do you think living under the sea is possible? Why? Now please work in pairs to discuss the three questions on the screen.

Show the following questions on the screen and hold a discussion.

1. Do you think living under the sea is possible?

2. Where are you going to live under the sea?

3. In the undersea cities, what equipments do you think are necessary?

Ten minutes later, ask some Ss to answer the questions.

T: Have you finished? Who would like to tell us your opinion? Volunteer?

S: I think it’s possible. Maybe in the future scientists will invent some kind of equipment that makes it possible for human being to live under the sea.

T: If it is possible, where are you going to live under the sea? There is all water and fishes around you.

S: Maybe in a special equipment which will provide us much-needed oxygen and can float in the water. In that case we can travel in the sea to enjoy the wonderful view of the sea.

T: Good. If you are going to live under the sea, what kind of equipment do you think is necessary for your living?

S: Oxygen provision and cleaning machine may be necessary.

Step Ⅱ Reading

Deal with the passage on page 58.

T: OK. From what you said, I know all of you are looking forward to living under the sea. Now a company just provides the very service! Please turn to page 58 and read the passage RISING TO A CHALLENGE. Let’s see what the life will be like in this undersea city. When you finish reading, complete the sentences on the screen.

Give the Ss 3 minutes to go through the whole passage.

1. The undersea city is so comfortable that it is described as ___________ .

2. The undersea city has the following advantages:

a. _____________

b. _____________

c. _____________

d. _____________

T: Can you find out some suitable sentences or words to fill in the blanks? What’re the advantages of living under the sea?

S: The undersea city is so comfortable that it is described as “a silk adventure”.

S: The undersea city has the following advantages: a. easy contact with the land surface; b. more personal space; c. complete personal security; d. no housework worries.

T: That’s great. You all have got the general idea of the passage. Now let’s look into some detailed aspects of the undersea city. First let’s look at its contact with the land surface. Who would like to tell me at the very beginning, what kind of problem were they facing? And how was the problem solved?

S: The sea bottom is so deep that it’s hard to contact with the land surface. But later they invented the one-person or family shuttle-submarines which will always be ready to take people to the surface.

T: So in that case people who live under the sea can easily contact with the land surface. Then com-paring with living on land, what advantage do you think can attract people to live under the sea?

S: We can get twice as much personal space as in flats on land.

T: Good! Then what kind of special equipment will be provided so as to realize all the advantages? Please read the text again and finish the following chart. You can work with your partners.

Show the chart on the screen and give the Ss 3 minutes to go through the whole text again to scan for the answer. A few minutes later, check the answers.

T: This undersea city is amazing. But I think designing such kind of undersea city is quite difficult! Do you want to meet its designer?  Now the designer of the city William Lee is being interview. Let’s listen to his interview and find out which two problems he came across and how he solved them. Then please finish the exercises on page 59.

...

Step Ⅲ Follow-up Activity

Set a scene for the Ss: The company is going to held a press conference and exhibition. Encourage the Ss to design a poster which will draw visitors’ attention and provide some useful information.

T: We know that all new products have to be promoted so that it can be well-known among people. Now a press conference and exhibition is going to be held to make the undersea city known to people. If you work in the company, can you design a special poster to draw visitors’ attention so that they will come to the press conference? Use your imagination and you can discuss with your group members.

Step I Talking

Set a scene for the Ss: A man who is living in AD 2046 comes to visit your city and wants to know something about jobs in your city. Ask the Ss to work in pairs to make out an introduction plan. Make a comparison between jobs at present and jobs in the future, and find out the changes and why these changes take place.

T: In the first period of our unit, we discussed the changes between life in the past and life at present, also we make a prediction about our future, right? Today let’s still talk about the future. Suppose a man of AD 2046 comes to our city, he wants to know something about jobs in our city. How will you introduce the following two kinds of jobs to him? Teachers and farmers.

Give the Ss 1-2 minutes to discuss and then ask some of them to represent their opinions.

T: OK. Who would like to talk about the job as a farmer?

S: Nowadays farmers are still working very hard. Few of them use hi-tech machines, especially in developing countries. They have to work most by hand everyday. Sometimes they will use some machines such as trucks, seeding-machines, etc. In developed countries, agriculture has been computerized. Farmers in those countries are much easier.

T: Good. What about teachers?

S: Nowadays lots of students stay in the classrooms to listen to their teachers. And the teachers have to use chalk, and sometimes they use computers.

Set another scene.

T: So it seems that both these two kinds of jobs are very challenging. Will they change in the future? Now the man invites you to his city in the year 2046, what changes will you expect to find on these two jobs?

S: I think 40 years later, working as a farmer will be much easier than now. Farmers won’t have to work by hand, they can set a program in the computer and then the computer will finish all the tasks. It’s fantastic! And the harvest will be much better because of the science.

S: I think in the future we don’t have to come to school to study. Teachers will work on the Internet. We will have classes through the Internet. And unlike today’s teacher, in the future, a teacher can teach many subjects. And we will have robots do teaching jobs.

T: So maybe I should be born 40 years later, in that case, the job for me will be much interesting.

Step II Follow-up Activity

Encourage the Ss to predict their future life and make a short-term plan. Let them talk about their dreams and then write passages introducing these dreams.

T: Everyone, have you ever dreamt of your own future? Have you asked yourself what you will be? Now let’s make a prediction, or we can say, let’s make a plan for ourselves: What will I be in the future? You can discuss with your partners to fill in the following chart and then write a passage introducing your dreams.

Show the Ss the chart on the screen.

Give the Ss enough time to discuss. This will help them make clear of their own future. And then select some Ss to give a report to the whole class.

Step Ⅳ Homework

T: Imagine you are at your age of 30. Write a passage to describe your daily life or your experience.

A sample version:

       It is the year 2020 and I have just turned 30 years old. More than 10 years ago, I left high school and went to study at a good university. I was a history major and I also studied two foreign languages. After graduation, I was offered a job teaching history in a middle school. At first, I didn’t think I’d like to teach history. I thought the students would think history was too boring. My first year was very difficult. I didn’t know much about teaching and the students did not like my lessons. But I was lucky. One of the older teachers became my friend and taught me a lot.
