2. 内容分析
本单元的中心话题是“音乐”。语言技能和语言知识几乎都围绕“音乐”这一中心话题设计的。由热身、听力、口语、读前、阅读、读后、语言学习、综合技能、学习建议、复习要点等十个部分组成。
“热身”(Warming up)部分提供了地图,然后听音乐,要求学生明白所听音乐来自哪里,并展开讨论。这部分的目的是呈现本单元的中心话题??音乐,帮助学生在大脑中形成一个有关“音乐”的信息包,并复习或学习有关音乐的词和句型。
“听力”(Listening)部分提供了三首歌曲,要求学生通过听弄清歌名,歌词大意并对这些歌曲谈感受。
“口语”(Speaking)部分提供了Joe和Susan之间的对话。Peter的生日就要到了,Joe想送Peter生日礼物,于是征求Susan的意见,从而引出了asking and giving advice.整个活动以说为主,同时涉及了听、读、写的技能。这一设计训练学生在比较真实情景中口头表达的能力和丰富他们asking and giving advice的句型。
“读前”(Pre-reading)提供了有关“音乐”话题的四个问题。引导学生为下一不“阅读”作好思想准备。
“阅读”(Reading)部分介绍了一些有趣的音乐风格,如blues/hip-hop/rap/Latin music等。
“读后”(Post-reading)部分分两块。第一块要求学生在小组里讨论四个问题,其中前两个问题是针对文章的理解,评价学生对文章理解的程度;第三个问题要求学生结合文章谈论自己的看法;第四个问题是开发性的,目的在于培养学生的思辩能力。第二块要求学生根据课文对所设计的六个句子先判断正误,然后加以改正。
“语言学习”(Language study)分词汇和语法两部分。判断一个人词汇量的大小,应该看两个方面,一个是外在数量,即单词的个数;另一个是内在数量,即单词词义的个数。本教材与旧教材相比,大大重视单词词义的个数,本单元讲解了四个词汇:beat/pick/rock/style,每个词都讲解了三个用法。语法部分是各种时态的主动语态和被动语态的转换。
“综合技能”(Integrating skills)提供了一篇北京师范大学2001级学生曹向前同学写的文章(经过改写)Pop Versus Rock。文中着重阐述了Pop songs 和Rock songs之间的区别。通过对这篇文章的学习,要求学生写一篇题为Traditional Chinese music vs Modern Chinese music的文章。
“学习建议”(Tips)部分提供了有关话题“音乐”的总结性语言。
“复习要点”(Checkpoint)部分简要地总结了本单元的语法要点??The Passive Voice in Different Tenses,并且设计了练习,帮助学生自评。同时通过两个问题引导学生对本单元所学的词汇作一次小结。
3. Teaching procedures:
This unit consists of 10 parts: warming up/listening/speaking/pre-reading/reading/post-reading / language study / integrating skills / tips/ and checkpoints. I plan to cover this unit in 6 periods. Period One: Warming up and Listening / Period Two: Speaking / Period Three: Pre-reading Reading and Post-reading / Period Four: Post-reading and Word-study /Period Five: Grammar/ Period Six: Integrating skills
4. 评估(Assessment)
1)自我评估(Self-assessment)(了解学生对本单元的学习情况)
要求学生自我评估可以提高学生学习的主动性和积极性,促进学生对自己的学习进行反思,并能帮助学生掌握评估技术,增加教师的评估信息。通过自我评估,学生可设定目标,并更清楚地认识到自己的优势与不足。
设计本单元的自我评价:根据自己的实际情况回答下列问题,并存入个人学习档案:
(1) What is the most important thing you learned in this unit?
(2) What do you think you did best in this unit?
(3) What do you find the most difficult in this unit?
(4) Where do you see the most improvement?
(5) Where do you need to work harder?
2) 同伴评估(Peer-assessment)(了解学生的学习情感、策略)
沟通技能和合作技能在同伴评估中十分重要。同学间彼此信任和真诚的互相评估需要长时间来培养。但是同伴评估可以通过简单的活动来实施。例如:如果一个小组要完成一项任务,组中每个成员都要做出贡献,共同完成任务。每个成员都要评估自己和他人的贡献。也可以由一组或几组同学在班上演示他们完成的任务,有其他同学根据制定好的表格对他们做出评价。
设计本单元的同伴评估:由组长或指定学生负责,组织小组反思,填写下表,并存入小组学习档案:

2)T asks another question: Has anybody got any information about musical styles? Ss tell different kinds of music, such as blues/hip-hop/rap/Latin music etc.
Here is some information about music:
Music is a language that is spoken to everyone?from the day we are born we hear music of some kind of our lives. But there are as many different kinds of music as different languages, and it is impossible to describe them all. Here are just a few well-known types.
Classical music is serious Western European music from the Middle Ages(1500) to the present and it was often written for a large orchestra, or for a small group of players. Many instruments can be used. A lot of music was also written to be sung as opera. Classical music is very popular and schools often teach this type of music.
Jazz developed in the Southern States of North America at the beginning of last century. The black people of these states, who were originally slaves from Africa, had their own rhythms. Jazz brought classical music and African rhythms together.
Blues was originally Black Country music, which also came from the Southern States of last century. It is slow, usually sad music, which is often sung by one person with a guitar.
Rhythm and blues developed from the Blues in America in the 1940s. It became faster and more complex and used more instruments, e.g. saxophone, guitar, piano, drums. The music was often about city life and white musicians started playing it as well.
Musicians in the 1950s developed Rock from Rhythm and Blues and it became popular with young people. It spread to Europe in the 1960s and is now known in most countries. A lot of pop music comes from Rock and Roll.
Pop music developed from Rock and Roll in America, Britain and Europe in the 1960s and is now in every country. The name is used for most commercial music, i.e. music we can buy on records and hear on “pop radio”. It is usually played by groups who often use electric instruments and make videos to go with their records.
2. Pair-work
Have Ss discuss these questions in pairs.
1) What kind of music do you like?

Detailed information about Elvis Presley:
Elvis Presley is the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. He rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence. In the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: "Presley's career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music."
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935, and grew up surrounded by gospel music of the Pentecostal church. In 1948 the family moved to Memphis, where he was exposed to blues and jazz on Beale Street. After graduating from high school in 1953, an 18-year-old Presley visited the Memphis Recording Service - also the home of Sun Records - to record his voice. Owner/producer Sam Phillips was struck by the plaintive emotion in Presley's vocals and subsequently teamed him with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black. In July 1954 the trio worked up "That's All Right" and "Blue Moon of Kentucky" - blues and country songs, respectively - in a crackling, uptempo style that stands as the blueprint for rock and roll.
After five groundbreaking singles, Presley's contract was sold to RCA Records and his career quickly took off. "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" - his last single for Sun and first for RCA - went to #1 on the country charts. "Heartbreak Hotel," a haunting ballad, became his first across-the-board hit, holding down the top spot for eight weeks. Presley's hip-shaking performances on a series of TV variety shows, including Ed Sullivan's, generated hysteria and controversy. From blistering rockers to aching balladry, Presley captivated and liberated the teenage audience. His historic string of hits in 1956 and ?7 included "Don't Be Cruel," "Hound Dog," "Love Me Tender," "All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock."
Presley's career momentum was interrupted by a two-year Army stint in Germany, where he met his future wife, Priscilla. For much of the Sixties, he occupied himself with movie-making and soundtrack-recording. His albums of sacred songs, such as How Great Thou Art, stand out from this otherwise fallow period. Presley's standing as a rock and roller was rekindled with an electrifying TV special, simply titled Elvis and broadcast on December 3, 1968. He followed this mid-career renaissance with some of the most mature and satisfying work of his career. Recording in Memphis, he cut such classic tracks as "In the Ghetto, "Suspicious Minds" and "Kentucky Rain" with the soulful, down-home musicians at American Studio.
If the Fifties were devoted to rock and roll and the Sixties to movies, the Seventies represent the performing chapter in Presley's career. He toured constantly, performing to capacity crowds around the country until his death. Presley died of a heart attack at Graceland, his Memphis mansion, on August 16, 1977. He was 42 years old. How big was Elvis?
Statistically, he holds records for the most Top Forty hits (107), the most Top Ten hits (38), the most consecutive #1 hits (10) and the most weeks at #1 (80). As far as his stature as a cultural icon, which continues to grow even in death, writer Lester Bangs said it best: "I can guarantee you one thing - we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on Elvis."
