4、edicative, attribute and object complement）. 教材分析与教材重组1教材分析本单元的中心话题是“感受英语幽默”，其中涉及到了幽默的种类及其代表人物，并就中外幽默进行了粗略的比较，以此让学生感受英语幽默的内涵。1.1 WARMING UP中提出了三个问题：How many kinds of humour do you know？Do you know these kinds of humour？ Do you have other kinds of humour in China？这三个问题直指本单元中心话题，为下一步的阅读理解作了准备。1.2 PRE-
5、READING在WARMING UP 的基础上提出了另外三个问题：What do you like to laugh at？ What does humour mean？ Is humour always kind？这三个问题进一步让学生了解幽默的含义，即把缺陷与完美、荒唐与合理、愚笨与机敏等两极对立的属性不动声色地结合起来，在对立统一中见其深刻的意义。1.3 READING以美国著名喜剧大师Charlie Chaplin的表演为例，为学生展示了幽默的内涵。第一段以常见的踩香蕉皮滑倒为例，指出了幽默的内涵之一：“Perhaps it makes us feel more content wit
6、h our life because we feel there is someone else worse off than ourselves”.从第二段开始介绍卓别林以其独特的表现方式成为著名的幽默大师，文中列举了两部他的喜剧片，一部是The Little Trump，另一部是The Gold Rush。前者以其穿着及行为而受到了人们的喜爱；后者通过吃皮鞋这一片段，让人领略了他的无与伦比的想象力与幽默感。卓别林将滑稽的相貌、夸张的穿戴和离奇的想象完美地结合起来，出于现实而又超脱现实。令人在捧腹大笑的同时，感到了他对待苦难的积极态度，和对下层小人物的同情。这篇文章揭示了幽默的内涵，给学生留
7、下了思考的余地：Is humour always kind？1.4 COMPREHENDING分为两部分。第一部分以填写表格的形式让学生练习写阅读笔记，同时提示他们人物传记的写法，让学生了解文章结构。第二部分练习课文中出现的生词。1.5 LEARNING ABOUT LANGUAGE包括词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分强调用英语来解释词汇，并在实际情景中使用所学词汇。 语法部分主要通过大量的例句和习题来实现让学生自主学习的目的，总结-ing形式在句中作表语、宾语和宾语补足语的用法。1.6 USING LANGUAGE部分, 从听、说、读、写四个方面来学习和巩固所学语言知识，全面体现语言运用能力。2.

21、”T: In these two poems we can see that Edward Lear used a kind of magnification to make his poem funny. But because the sense of humour of English and Chinese is different, sometimes what they feel funny would not sound funny to us. But if you want to make fun of one of your friends, you can send th

32、d then we can know what a humor Sherlock Holmes was. I think to understand this kind of jokes needs wisdom to understand. We must know that he was a detective, so he was always thinking of the things such as stealing. T: What you said is reasonable. Now lets listen to the tape, pay attention to the
33、intonation, and try to bring out the humorous meaning.If time permits, the teacher can ask some students to act out the jokes.Step IV SpeakingT: Now, weve learned some jokes and listened to some too.

P18That was the problem facing Charlie Chaplin in one of his most famous films. P18He solved it by using nonverbal humour

Classmates in Group one, have you prepared a joke for us?Ss: Yes.T: Who would like to tell us?S: Id like to. My joke is very short. In order to let all of us understand the joke, Id like to act it o
45、ut. But there is a new word in the story. It is “leash”. It means a rope used to tie a dog. The title of the joke is A blind man in a store. Look, this is my dog. Ok, now Ill act out the joke.A blind man in a storeA blind man walks into a store with his Seeing Eye dog. All of a sudden, he picks up t
46、he leash and begins swinging the dog over his head. The manager runs up to the man and asks, “What are you doing?!” The blind man replies, “Just looking around.”S: Thats all for the joke. Thank you.T: Woo! Its so wonderful. Thank you for bringing us so wonderful joke and your performance. Lets clap
47、our hands for him. Ok, lets continue to check your home- work. Last time we learned something about humour. Some jokes made us laugh. Well, what is humour?S1: Humour, like jokes, can make people laugh.S2: I think, humour includes nonverbal, mime and farce, verbal jokes, funny stories and funny poems
48、. S3: Humour is a sense. Some people have it. Its natural.S4: Humour is quality of being amusing; its an ability to appreciate the comic or amusing. I think my answer is the most correct answer, because I looked up the dictionary.T: All right, I think these explanations give us a full understanding
49、about humour. I think, humour can also reflect a persons wit or intelligence. For example, what do you think of a banker?S1: A banker is a millionaire.S2: A banker is a big potato. He owns large houses, cars, and he can enjoy plenty of good things in the world.T: Yes. All of you are right. But Mark
50、Twain once said: “A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining; but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.” That is why Mark Twain is Mark Twain. OK, now lets look at the two questions in Pre-reading.Step Pre-readingT: What do you like to laugh at?S1: Some funny thing
51、s, such as funny looks, funny acts, funny words and so on.T: Good. Is humour always kind?S2: I guess mostly humour is kind. But it depends on who is joking and who is listening.T: Right. Different people have different understanding about the same jokes. One day, if one of your friends says to you:
52、“Dog, Ill pick your head and beat it like a basketball.” You are shouting at him/her “Stop! You pig.” What an interesting thing it is! Do you like this?S3: I dont think this is funny. Its crazy! If he really says this to me, he will lose me.T: But some people like this. It is difficult to see who is
53、 right and who is wrong. Some people think it is funny; while other people will think it will make them throw up. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This sentence means what one person considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. So we can see that humour is not always kind.Step Reading
54、The purpose of this reading is to introduce nonverbal humour. This reading material takes Charlie Chaplin for example. It tells us what nonverbal humour means; whats Charlie Chaplins style of acting; how he made a sad situation entertaining and so on.What do you know about Charlie Chaplin?This step
55、can have three tasks. Task 1, find the main idea of each paragraph. Work in groups to decide how many passages the material can be divided. Task 2, discuss the following questions：1. Do you think his poor childhood helped him in his work? Why? 2. Why did people like The Little Tramp?3. Do you think
56、Chaplins eating boiled shoes funny? Why?Step IV Summary of the passage:In Britain and America people were feeling miserable because of the bad economic situation. Charlie understood their problems. His character “the little tramp” was poor and homeless, but everybody loved him for his kind heart and
57、 the way he dealt with his difficult situation. Charlie Chaplin made people laugh at some of these terrible situations like being without food or money. He wrote and directed his own films and received an Oscar for his outstanding work.Step V HomeworkPreview grammar by finishing Exercises on Page 21

One is to revise the usage of the -ing form which the students have learned in Unit 2. The other one
61、is to learn the new usage of the -ing form.Task 1 RevisionT: Now lets have a revision about the -ing form used as the subject and the object. Here are some sentences for you to translate.1. Talking to him is talking to a wall.2. Smoking may cause cancer.3. Walking is my sole exercise.4. Talking mend

63、 the students to look at Exercise 4 on Page 20. And then work in pairs to finish the Exercise. In order to make sure the quality, the teacher can ask some of the students to explain some of the phrases in the Exercise.T: Now lets finish the Exercise 4 on Page 20. Ill give one minute for you to check
64、 your answers. Because you have done this in the homework, I think one minute is enough. And then Ill choose some of them to let you explain. But before doing this youd better pay attention to the example. In the example, we can use for . phrase or an attributive to explain the -ing phrases. Are you
65、 clear?Ss: Yes.T: Ok, do the Exercise now.One minute later.T: Well, what does cooking pot mean?S1: A pot that is used for cooking.T: What does operating table mean?S2: A table for operating.T: What does drinking horse mean?S3: It means a horse that is drinking water.T: It seems that you have master
66、the usage of the -ing form as attribute. Now, lets look at the Exercise1 on Page 21. What does it tell us to do?S4: It tells us to find the sentences in the reading passage where the -ing form is used as the object complement.T: Can you find some?S4: Yes. In fact we have done this work in the last p
67、eriod. But I dont understand what object complement means.T: This is a good question. The object complement is used to explain what object has done, or doing, or to do. Or we can think that the speaker wants to express his/her meaning more completely. Of course, in this unit we only study the -ing f
68、orm as the object complement. The structure of the sentence with an object complement is: (Show the following on the screen.)Subject + Predicate + Object + Object complement Are you clear now?S4: Yes.T: Now, lets look at Exercise 2. Have you done this?Ss: Yes.T: Ok, now lets check the answers for th
69、is Exercise. Who would like to say your answers out?Teacher can ask 9 students to read the 9 complete sentences to check the answers. If there are some questions, teacher should give students some explanations, and make some changes if there are some incorrect answers.T: Well, can you analyze the pa
70、rt of speech of the -ing form in the 9 sentences?S5: In the first three sentences the -ing form is used as object complement.T: Right. Have you found the same structure in other sentences?S5: Yes. In the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth and the ninth sentence, the -ing form is also used as
71、the object complement.T: How about the rest?S5: In the fourth sentence, the -ing form is used as the attribute.T: Quite right. Now I think we can go on to do Exercise 3. Let me see if you have finished this Exercise.Teacher walks around, the students are asked to check their answers.T: Im very glad
72、that most of you have finished the exercise. But some of you need to be more deligent. Next time Ill specially check your answers. Well, the structure of the sentences has been given. Can you tell me the structure?S6: Yes, I can. The words in the left column are the subject. The -ing forms in the mi
73、ddle column are the attribute. And the words in the right column the words are used as the predicate, and so on.T: Right. Now Id like you to read out one of your sentences and then translate it. Who can?S7: The boy climbing the mountain is a friend of my brother. 爬山的那个男孩儿是我哥的一个朋友。T: Your translation
74、 is wrong. Try it again.S7: 爬山的那个男孩儿是我哥的一个朋友。T: Wrong again. Try again.S7: But I think Im right. If you dont think so, ask the other students.T: Good idea. But wait a moment. Who would like to make a sentence and translate it again?S8: Let me try. The girl eating her dinner is very tired and needs r
75、est.那个吃饭的女孩子很累,而且需要休息一下。T: The sentence is right, but the translation is not right. Try again.S8: Miss Wu, I think Id better not try. Im afraid my translation is the same. Please tell us why?T: Do you really want to know?Ss: Of course.T: Its very easy, you need add 正在before the girl and the boy. Tha
76、ts Ok.Ss: But its the same meaning!T: Yes, it has the same meaning. Im not a fool. You are not fools. But when you go out of this classroom, you will be fools. Can you think 做事的男孩 and 正在做事的男孩 has the same meaning? The first one doesnt give us a clear meaning whether he has done, or is doing, or will
77、 to do the thing. While the second one tells us the exact meaning of the -ing form. That is the boy doing the thing. The picture appearing before our eyes is that the boy is doing his things. Later we will study the Past Participle and the Infinitive. In order to get clear meaning of the phrases, we
78、d better have such exercises. Do you understand?Ss: Yes.T: Now lets try again to see whose translation has such mistakes.The purpose of doing this is to train the students to have exact understanding about the -ing form, because when they study the -ed form, they will be confused about the differenc
79、e between the -ing form and the -ed form. So at first, teacher should help them to have a correct understanding at the meaning. T: Ok, it seems that all of you have learned the way to translate the sentences correctly. Well, now lets look at Ex 4. Who would like to do this exercise? You five please.
80、S1: Seeing is believing.S2: His job is cleaning the yard. S3: What he likes is playing basketball.S4: The news is exciting.S5: The film is more interesting than any that Ive ever seen.T: Very good. All of them are right. In order to make sure that you master the usage of the structure, Ill give you
81、some more sentences. Now please look at the screen.1. Her hobby is painting. 她的爱好是绘画。2. Her favorite sport is skiing. 她最喜爱的运动是滑冰。3. This was very disappointing. 这很令人失望。4.

82、 his mother is most touching. 他对母亲的关爱很感人。7. The photograph is missing. 那张照片不见了。8. The article was misleading, and the newspaper has apologized. 这篇文章有误导性，报纸已经道歉了。T: In the first two sentences, the -ing form is used to show the character of the subject. In the next four sentences the words of the -ing
83、 form are all about the feelings. In the last two sentences, the words of the -ing form show some states and qualities. Now please look at these sentences on the screen.How are things going? 现在情况怎么样?Its snowing hard. 天正下着大雪。What are they quarrelling about? 他们在为什么事争吵？Why arent you wearing a coat? Its
84、 so cold. 天这么冷，你怎么没穿大衣？Im waiting to have a word with you. 我在等着和你说话。Shes teaching in a night school. 她在夜校教书。Sorry, you cant take the typewriter away, Im using it. 对不起，你不能把打字机拿走，我在用。T: Do you think these -ing forms are also used as the predicative?S6: No, these -ing forms are used as the predicate in
85、 the present continuous tense.T: Thats quite right. Now do you know how to tell the -ing form as the predicative from what used as predicate in the present continuous tense?S7: Yes. The -ing form as the predicative shows the quality, or the state of the subject; while the -ing form in the present co
86、ntinuous tense show an act is going.T: This is a good conclusion. Now lets turn to the next step.HomeworkT: Today, we learned some useful structures.
