北师大版英语Module 1 Unit 2 Heroes Lesson 1 Modern heroes说课稿
Good afternoon, everyone. It’s my great pleasure to be here sharing my lesson with you. The content is Senior High English Module 1 Unit 2 Modern heroes. I’ll be ready to begin this lesson from six parts, that is, analysis of the teaching material, analysis of the Students, teaching aims, teaching important and difficult points, teaching methods and teaching procedures. First of all, let me talk about the teaching material.
Part 1 Analysis of the teaching material:
Unit 2 is about different heroes, in which most students are interested. By studying this unit, we’ll enable the students to know how to be a hero and develop their interest in heroes. Lesson 1 plays an important part in the English teaching in this unit. If the students can learn it well, it will be helpful to make the students learn the rest of this unit. This lesson is about a national hero——Yang Liwei who is famous for the first astronaut of China, which, I think, the students are familiar with. There are many new words and expressions related to space flight appearing in the reading material, too.
Part 2 Analysis of the Students:
Aged 15-16 years, the students in Senior1 think actively, respond swiftly and have the courage to express their thoughts and ideas. Just entering high school and lacking in the ability of active learning, however, they haven’t formed a good habit of learning English. When it comes to reading, they haven’t master how to use extensive and intensive reading skills and the abilities of summary and induction as well. In a word, students haven’t mastered the reading strategies. On the other hand, after a certain time of training, they’ve mastered some reading skills, such as group work, using the culture and background knowledge etc.
Part 3 Teaching aims:
According to the new standard curriculum and the syllabus (新课程标准和教学大纲), after studying the teaching material and analyzing the rule of children’s growing of mind, I think the teaching aims are the followings:
Knowledge goals:
●To learn some words and expressions related to space flight appearing in the reading material.
Ability goals:
●To improve students’ basic ability of listening, speaking and reading.
●To practise extensive reading in order to understand the main idea of each paragraph and guess the meaning of new words from the context.
Emotional goals:
●To motivate students’ interest in space exploration of China.
●To help student to learn to cooperate with each other.
Now, let’s come to the Important and the Difficult points.
Part 4 Teaching Important and Difficult points:
The important and difficult points of this period lie in: To achieve the teaching aims better and make the student respond actively to complete the tasks. But how to? According to the analysis of the teaching material and the students’ learning background, I will use the following methods.
Part 5 Teaching Methods:
In my opinion, the main instructional aims of learning English in the High School is to develop the students’ abilities of listening, speaking, reading, writing and their good sense of the English language. So in this lesson I’ll mainly use the “communicative approach” to mobilize the enthusiasm of the students to actively participate in class activities and fulfill the tasks of teaching through teacher-student interaction and group discussion.
At the same time, I’ll also use “task-based approach” in my teaching, which offers the students an opportunity to complete the tasks in which students use language to achieve a specific outcome. I’ll make use of the modern electricity teaching equipment and all kinds of teaching means, which can develop the Ss creativity in learning English.
Part 6 Teaching procedures
Step 1 Lead-in.
Show the students a piece of video: the launch of Shenzhou V
Then ask the students the following questions:
Do you know who was in the spaceship?(Show the picture of Yang Liwei)
What do you know about him? (Show the profile of Yang Liwei )
How do you feel about him?
How did you feel about China’s first manned space flight?
Purpose of my design: This activity can stimulate the interest of students, which naturally leads to the topic of this period.
Step 2 Fast reading
Ask the students to skim the passage to complete the task. ( Show the students the exercise on the screen)
Task 1: Divide the class into two groups: boys and girls. Ask them to read the article quickly and the boys circle all the words related to a spaceship’s movement while the girls circle all the words related to Yang Liwei’s movement in the spaceship.
Then ask the boys to judge whether the girls’ answers are right or wrong and the girls do the same.
Purpose of my design: Enable students to understand the given material better using a useful reading skills. Dividing the class into two groups--boys and girls, will create a competition between the boys and girls, which, of cause , makes the studens more actively participate in the class activities.
Step 3 Detailed reading
Task 2: The students have got some basic understanding of the passage after Task 1.This time show the boy students five questions to answer, requiring them to conduct a second reading and get a further understanding of the passage . At the same time ask the girl students to find out the headings of the paragraphs and match them together.
Boys:
1. How did Yang Liwei feel during the flight? How did he feel afterwards?
2. What did Yang Liwei do during the Shenzhou V’s seventh circle of the earth?
3. How many circles did the spaceship complete while Yang Liwei was sleeping?

Then ask the boys to judge whether the girls’ answers are right or wrong and the girls do the same.
Purpose of my design: The task makes students more familiar with the passage, train their reading speed and reading strategies and develop the students’ capacity of induction.
Step 4 Post reading
(Show some sentences with pictures to students, then ask them to guess the meaning of some words or phrases. )
Task 3: Ask the students to guess the meanings of some words and phrases together with some pictures. Then ask the students to complete the following exercise shown on the screen, using some words and expressions in this passage.
China’s first spaceship at 9 a.m.,October 15,2003. The first Chinese ,Yang Liwei said, “When the spaceship was , I could really feel the high . When the spaceship from the rocket, I suddenly got a feeling of the sky.” During the 21-hour space , the spaceship the earth 14 times. When the space was the earth for the seventh time, Yang Liwei showed the

Purpose of my design: Present some key words and phrases appearing in the passage, and fill in the blanks to increase the students’ ability of language use. Then ask the students to report the answers one by one. This task can test the students’ learning effects.
Step 5 Free discussion
Task 4: Ask the students to Work in pairs. Imagine one is Yang Liwei and the other is a reporter from CCTV. Make up an interview between them.
Example:
Reporter: When did the spaceship lift off?
Yang: It lifted off at 9 a.m. on October 15th, 2003.
R: What did you eat in space?
Y:…...
Purpose of my design: Most students can take their parts in the activities, especially for the Ss who have trouble in English study. In the group activities, they can speak a little English. Without doubt, this will encourage them to speak English. In fact, it is a kind of demand of human being. “Task-based” method is used here to develop the students’ ability of communication and also their ability of co-operation will be well trained.。
Step 6: Homework.
1.What do you think of Yang Liwei? Please write 5 or 6 sentences.
2. Read the article space heroes on page 32
Purpose of my design: I think homework is so important that the students should practise English as much as they can in class or after class. It is necessary for the students to do some exercises after class to master the knowledge they learned, which is an extension of the previous lesson.
