Unit 2 Out of this world Integrated skills (II)（教学设计） I. Learning objectives By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: 1. discuss what might happen next in the story; 2. write a story about aliens based on the comic strip in part B. II. Key competence focus 1. Learn the speaking skill: using speculative mood. 2. Find out the differences between indicative mood, subjunctive mood and speculative mood. 3. Learn the ways to write about novels: use adjectives to create a mood and techniques to create the plot. III. Predicted area of difficulty 1. Express oneself in speculative mood. 2. Work out the plot of an alien story. IV. Teaching procedures Step 1 Speaking 1. T helps Ss to understand speculative mood. T: Read the following three sentences and find out their differences. (1) She travelled around the UK last year. (Indicative mood) (2) If only she had travelled around the UK! (Subjunctive mood) (3) She must have travelled around the UK. (Speculative mood) 2. T asks some Ss to discuss the three sentences. T: We know from the first sentence that “she did travel around the UK and has some experiences of UK”, so it is a display of facts, using an indicative mood. T: We know from the second sentence that “she hasn’t been to the UK and the speaker wished she had been there”, so this sentence states an assumption, using subjunctive mood. T: We know from the third sentence that “in the speaker’s opinion, she has been to the UK. It has not proved a fact, but there is great possibility that she has travelled around the UK”, so this sentence states an inference, using speculative mood. 3. T asks Ss to learn expressions related to speculative mood. T: When we use speculative mood, we usually include “I think, may/might/could, likely, probable, possible” in speaking. T: Go through the expressions given in part C. 4. T asks Ss to talk about the comic strip in part B on page 23. T: Discuss what might happen next in the comic strip in part B on page 23. Use as much speculative mood as possible. 【设计意图：本课一个语法难点是推测性语气，第一步用三个典型的句子，分别是陈述语气、虚拟语气和推测性语气，帮助学生认识它们之间的区别。第二步体会课本上给的几个推测性语气的表达。第三步是实战运用，将推测性语气用于会话之中。】 Step 2 Writing 1. Learning about the language. (1) T shows a sentence with several adjectives. Manhattan is impersonal, superficial, and it is a fast-moving city. T: How do you feel after reading the sentence T: After reading, you may feel Manhattan is the fast-pace city with no personal touch. What cause you such feeling Now read through “Learning about the language”, and you will find the answer. To make your story impressive, you need to give vivid descriptions using your observation and imagination. When describing a setting, you can use adjectives to create a mood. Adjectives such as “dark”, “black” or “deserted” can create a mysterious atmosphere in outer space. (2) T explains what the mood is. T: Maya Angelou said: ... ...
