4. Design thinking（教学反思）：
The reading passage A NIGHT THE EARTH
DIDN’T
SLEEP is the high light of the whole
unit. It lays emphasis on
reading and
understanding.
In order to stimulate
students’ learning enthusiasm, I use
some
flashes,pictures and words to lead them in: ①first
I used
PPT to show students a cartoon figure
called “Mr. Nature” and
show some pictures of
disasters to let students recognize them,
thus
can develop students’ interest in learning by
adding a
human element to the natural
world.②Ask students whether
they have
experienced an earthquake to improve their
understanding of the causes of earthquakes.③
let the students
discuss the warning signs
before an earthquake and enable them
to
realize these strange signs in order to get ready
to avoid
unnecessary losses. Finally let the
students look at the title A
NIGHT THE EARTH
DIDN’T SLEEP and understand the
meaning of it.
In the part of fast-reading, I list
some new words in this
unit and paraphrase
them in English to improve the thinking
ability of the students. Then skim the passage
and answer a few
questions which are not very
difficult to them to arouse their
interest in
learning .
While reading intensively, I make
the students listen to the
tape in the process
of reading so as to achieve the unity of
listening and reading. Intensive reading is
divided into three
parts: true or false,fill
in the forms and retell the passage. True
or
false examines students’ understanding of the
article. Fill in
the forms is a supplement to
the right and wrong. Retell the
passage
requests the students to combine with what they
wrote
in the form, thus can improve students’
oral English. Meanwhile,
I play the part of
the movie of TangShan Earthquake directed by
Feng Xiaogang to make the students feel the
havoc of the
earthquakes and deepen the
understanding of the content to
arouse
students’ interest in the text.
The part of
post reading was based on the comprehension
of
the passage. Students can not only improve their
ability of
communication ,but also gain
knowledge of protecting
themselves from
various kinds of disasters by discussion and
interviews. These activities can cultivate the
students’ patriotic
feelings and draw a
satisfactory full stop for this class.
ng
methods（教学方法）:
1). Task-based teaching and
learning
2). Cooperative learning
3).
Dicussion
ng procedure（教学过程）：
Step 1 Leading-in 导入
Show some
pictures to the students.
Teacher:
First let’s get to know the man, who is called Mr.
Nature. He is very emotional. When he is
happy, he stays calm and
shows us beautiful
natural scenery. But when he gets angry, he
becomes a troublemaker and causes many natural
disasters. Can you
name the following natural
disasters?
Suggested answers: Flood,
drought, fire, volcano, typhoon,
tornado,
rock-mud flow, snows-slide, earthquake
Teacher: As we all know, an earthquake is a kind
of common
disasters. It can cause great damage
to people. Have you ever
experienced an
earthquake?
(Students’ answers)
Teacher: Can you describe your feelings at that
time?
(Students’ answers)
Teacher: Why does an earthquake happen?
Suggested answers: Scientists
believe that the surface of the
earth is
covered by a number of moving plates such as the
Pacific
plate, the Indian plate, the Eurasian
plate, and so on. Sometimes two
plates move
towards and push against each other. Sometimes
they
stop for years but at other times they
jump and an earthquake is felt.
An earthquake
is the result of the movement of these plates.
Teacher: We know China is a country where many
earthquakes
happen. Why does China have a lot
of earthquakes?
Suggested answers:
Because the Pacific plate is pushing China
from the east and the Indian plate is pushing
China from the
southwest. The power of this
movement created the Himalayas and
Mount
Qomolangma. It now causes earthquakes in China.
Take the
Wenchuan earthquake for example, the
Indian plate moved
northwards and put pressure
on the Eurasian plate. It led to the rise
of
the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Then the risen Qinghai-
Tibet Plateau
moved eastwards and put pressure
on Sichuan Basin. At last, the
Wenchuan
earthquake happened. Wenchuan is located on solid
rock
of the active earthquake belt, which
makes the quake spread very far.
It was felt
in many provinces in China, including Shanxi
Province.
Teacher: Usually we can see dark
clods in the sky before rain. Dark
clouds are
a sign of rain. Similarly, something unusual often
happens
before an earthquake. What do you
think will happen before an
earthquake?
Suggested answers: There are bright
lights in the sky. Chickens
are flying and
dogs are barking, and pigs and cows are too
nervous
to eat. Fish jump out of the pond, and
mice ran widely out of the
fields. The well
has deep cracks in it and the water in it rises
and
falls.
Teacher: If we can read
these signs from nature, it’s very useful
for
us to make good preparations for the coming
disaster. Ok. 34
years ago, a strong
earthquake hit Tangshan city and destroyed
everything. Now let’s learn about the terrible
earthquake. Turn to
page 26. Look at the
reading passage—A Night the Earth Didn’t
Sleep. What information does the writer try to
give us through the
title? What does the
title mean?
Suggested answers: “The earth
didn’t sleep” means the earth was
active or
the earth shook. “A Night the Earth Didn’t Sleep”
is a
poetic way of saying that an earthquake
happened at night. The title
attracts people’s
attention.

the Internet.
ider after
teaching（教学反思）：
This class is good as a whole.
I use a variety of pictures and
short films
about the earthquakes to let the students have an
intuitive knowledge of the earthquakes. While
looking at the
photos and videos, students had
a heated debate related to the
earthquakes and
this can greatly mobilize the students’ learning
enthusiasm.
Students learned a lot of
common sense about the
earthquakes as well as
some ability to escape during an
earthquake in
the atmosphere of pleasant learning. When I dealt
with teaching materials, the concept of new
curriculum reform is
included—— I deleted the
second question in Pre-reading and
added a
question about: how to protect ourselves when
faced
with an earthquake. Before
dealing with the passage, I let the
students
to think how to write this article themselves if
the topic
was given to them and this greatly
cultivate the students’
divergent thinking.
