Teaching Procedures

Step 1 Revision

1.Greet the class as usual.

2.Revise subject-verb agreement by checking the workbook exercise 1 on Page 43 and exercise 2 on Page 44.

Step 2 Lea d in-Brainstorm about Lin Qiaozhi.

T:In this unit we focus on the great women home and abroad.Remember the one we talked about the day before

yesterday?

Ss:Yes,of course.

T:Who is she?

Ss:Jane Goodall.

T:Why did she impressed you so much?

S:Because she devoted all her love to the chimps.

S:Because she was a woman full of determination and courage.

S:Because she was so unselfish that she gave up the opportunity to go to university only because of the chimps. T:Good!What you said sounds reasonable.When we are growing up we need food to give us nutrition.But the most important thing th at we couldn’t do without is the love from our parents,our friends and the ones we loves.Similarly,a person’s success couldn’t leave the love to others.Knowledge is the food that a man should absorb;while love is the sunshine,a success should show love to others.When he or she is doing so the person is really a famous person or such a person can be a great person.Don’t you think so?

Ss:Yes.I agree with you.

T:Today we are going to talk about another famous person.Please open your textbook and turn to Page 6.Let’s

have a look at this picture.Who is in it?

Ss:Lin Qiaozhi.

T:Wow,you can recognize her at first sight!You are wonderful.Who can say something about her?

S:Let me have a try.Lin Qiaozhi is our pride because she was Chinese.She was born in Xiamen in Fujian Province.

S:I know something about her too.She was strong-willed.Lin Qiaozhi’s mother died when she was five but she was quite lucky because her father who worked at a university of Singapore believed in the education of

women.That is why she as a woman in Old China got so much education.

S:She once studied in the Peking Union Medical College,London University Medical School,Manchester University Medical School and the Chicago University Medical School.

S:She studied diseases of women,especially women in the countryside.

S:Last year I went to Beijing.In the Great Hall of the People,I saw a copper statue which was placed to honor her and her work.

T:Good job.I can see that you took the homework serious and surf the Internet to surf for a lot of information.

Step 3 Getting the general idea

Get the students to read the passage and get the answers to the following questions.

T:Now let’s read an article about Lin Qiaozhi.Please read the passage and get the answers to the following

questions.You have four minutes to go.

1.What was the writer’s problem?

2.What did he decide to do at last?Why?

3.Which words can we find in the text used to describe Lin Qiaozhi?

4.What are Lin Qiaozhi’s achievements mentioned in the passage?

T:Time is up.Have you got the answers?

Ss:Yes.

T:Now who can answer the first question?

S:1.The writer did not know which subject to choose to study at university among English,biology and

chemistry.

T:Right.What about the second one?

S:2.He decided to study medicine.Because he was moved by Lin Qiaozhi.

T:Is he right?

Ss:Yes.

T:Good.The next one?

S:3.There are many words such as busy,hard work,determination,good nature,kindness and consideration that can be used to describe Lin Qiaozhi.

T:It’s very careful of you to have been able to find out so many words.In these words some are about her character and some are about her personality.Character is how she behaved in her work or towards others;while personality

is to describe what she is like.Do you understand?

Ss:Yes.

T:What about the last one?

S:4.She wrote some books and articles about women’s diseases.

S:She got a medical training for her career.

S:She became a specialist in wome n’s diseases.

S:She had made sure that about 50 000 babies were safely de livered to their mothers.

T:If we combine all your answers,they will make a perfect answer.

Step 4 Scanning and language focus

T:We have got the general understanding of the passage now.Next I would like you to listen to the tape and read the passage again.After you finish reading,you should have got the answers to these questions:

1.1.When the writer was surfing the Internet,what drew her attention?

2.Was it difficult for Lin Qiaozhi to get a medical training?

3.What had got her into medical school?

4.What made Lin Qiaozhi famous?

5.What were most of Lin Qiaozhi’s stories about?

T:Time is up.Who can answer the first question?

S:1.When the writer was surfing the Internet,a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and

caring for babies by following some simple rules for keeping babies clean and healthy.

T:How did you know that it drew his attention?

S:He said the book caught his eye.

T:So here “something catch one’s eye” means...?

Ss:It means “draw one’s attention某物吸引某人的注意,某人看到了某物”.

T:Good.(writes “ sth.catch one’ eye= sth.catch one’s attention/sb.see sth.” on the blackboard)

What about a book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies by following some

simple rules for keeping babies clean and healthy?What does it mean?

S:In Chinese,it means 一本介绍如何在妇女怀孕到护理婴儿的过程中通过一些使婴儿保持清洁健康的简单规则来降低死亡率的书。“explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies by following

so me simple rules for keeping babies clean and healthy” is the attribute.

T:Good.( writes “v.-ing as attribute” on the blackboard and gives more examples with ing as the attribute)

Let’s see the second question.

S:2.Yes,it was difficult for Lin Qiaozhi to get a medical training.

T:Yes or no?

Ss:Yes.

T:How did you know?

Ss:The first sentence in the third paragraph.

T:Can you understand the sentence?

Ss:Yes/ No.

T:Who can explain the sentence?

S:Let me try.This is a complex sentence.The first “it” i s an empty subject and the real subject is how difficult it must have been for a woman to get a medical training so long ago when women’s education was always placed second to men’s. The second “is” also an empty subject.It stands for “to get a medical tra ining for a woman so long ago when women’s education was always placed second to men’s”.“when women’s education was always placed second to men’s” is a relative clause to modify “long ago”.In Chinese,the whole sentence means “在那久

远的年代,当女性的教育总是低于男性的时候,一个女子去学医一定是相当困难的,这想法闪电般地闪过我的脑海。”

T:Good.(writes and explains “modal verb + have been” and “place A second to B” on the blackboard,giving more examples) Let’s see the third question.What had got her into the medical school?

S:3.It was hard work and determination as well as her good nature that had got her into medical school.

T:The next one?What made Lin Qiaozhi famous?Was it her success at university that had made her famous?

Ss:No.

S:4.It was her kindness and the consideration she showed to all her patients made her famous.

T:How did you get the answer?

S:I got the answer from the two sentences—It was not her success at university that had made her famous.It was her kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients.“It was...that” is a structure used to emphasize “not her success at university” and “her kindness and consideration”.So we can see the two sentences mean that not her success at university but her kindness and consideration had made her famous.

T:Absolutely right.Very good job!(writes th e structure “It is...that...” on the blackboard)

It was not her success at university that had made her famous.

It was her kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients that had made her famous.

Now please pay attention to the boldface:It was...that...This is a structure used to emphasize some speech of a sentence.For example:John saw her in the garden yesterday after noon.We may say:

It was John that/who saw her in the garden yesterday afternoon.(subject)

It was her that/who John saw in the garden yesterday afternoon.(object)

It was in the garden that John saw her yesterday afternoon.(place adverbial)

It was yesterday afternoon that John saw her in the garden.(time adverbial)

T:Please look at the sentences on the blackboard.Is there any connections between them?

S:Oh,if we take the structure away,the other parts of the sentence will make a simple sentence.

T:Bingo.If fact,when we want to stress a person,we can use “that or who” while in other situations we can only used “that”.Do you h ave any questions about the structure?

Ss:No.

T:So let’s do some practice to see whether you really grasp the structure.

(Get the students to do some practice by emphasizing the underlined part of the sentences.)

At the supermarket I met my former classmate.

My cousin turned home from Britain last year.

I rather than you helped her out of the trouble.

Keys:It was at the supermarket that I met my former classmate.

It was from Britain that my cousin turned home last year.

It was I rather than you that/ who helped her out of the trouble.

T:Now let’s come to the last question.What were most of Lin Qiaozhi’s stories about?

S:5.Most of her stories were about how she went late a night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not

pay her.

T:Deliver a baby means...

S:It means give birth to a baby.

T:Good job.(writes “deliver a baby= give birth to a baby” on the blackboard)

Step 5 Retelling

Get the students to retell the passage by filling in the blanks.

more seriously.

Teaching Procedures

Step 1 Revision

1.Revise A Good Example for Me by asking some questions:

T:Yesterday we learned something about one of the most important doctors in China.Who was it?

Ss:Lin Qiaozhi.

T:She was a specialist in...?

Ss:She was a specialist in women’s disease.

T:What made her famous?Was it hard work and success at university?

Ss:No.She became famous because of her kindness and the c onsideration that was showed to all her patients.

T:Good.

2.Check workbook exercise 1 on Page 45.

T:I remembered asking you to read a passage about another great woman.Have you done that?

Ss:Sure.

T:Which great woman is talked about?

Ss:Elizabeth Fry.

T:What did she do?

Ss:She devoted all her efforts to improve the prison conditions.

T:Good.Now let’s chec k the answers to exercise one.

Get the students to check the answer.

Step 2 Listening on Page 7

The teacher should ask the students to glance the whole exercises before listening,so that they can realize what the

main task is in listening.

1.Brainstorming

T:These days we have been talking about important and great women and their achievements.We know women

are able to make the same achievements as men.But was it easy for them to make the achievements?

Ss:Of course not.

T:You are right.They have to overcome a lot of diffi culties in achieving their goals.Even now if women try to get the same as men they will come across quite a lot of problems that men will not have.Today we’ll listen to the

problems that exist.

2.Listening for the first time

T:When we listen to a certain material for the first time,we should not try to catch every single word,and that is impossible.We should try to catch the general idea.To catch the gist,catching the topic sentences is of great importance.The structure of this material is very clear.It is organized by the three paragraphs.So when you listen for the first time,try to get the topic sentence of each paragraph.Now let’s listen for the first time.

Play the tape for students to get the topic sentences of the paragraphs and finish the exercises.

Make a pause when necessary.

Then ask students to discuss with their partners and try to retell what they have heard.It doesn’t mat ter whether they get words or sentences because the purpose of d oing this is to let students know how to get the main idea from the topic sentence.

Collect what they have heard and writes down them on the blackboard.

Check the answers to Exercise 2 with the whole class.

Suggested answers:

The three problems that women have and that do not apply to men are:

1)They have more difficulty getting an education.

2)They have more difficulty getting to the top of their chosen career.

3)They have to give up their careers for the childcare and running the home.

3.Listening for the second time

The purpose in this task is to let the students get some useful information to finish Exercises 1 and 3.Before playing the tape for the second time,asks the students to read through the two exercises and try to predict the answers.

Then the teacher plays the tape again.

4.Listening for the third time

This is a good chance for the students to check their answers.After listening twice,most students can have a good understanding about the material,and can write down most of the answers.So this time is for them to check and add their answers.

Then the teacher has the students check the answers in groups.

At last the teacher checks the answers with the whole class.

Suggested answers to Exercise 1.

1）Girls often leave school earlier for family reasons.(T)

2）When there is little money,the school often prevents girls from training.(F)

When there is little money, the family often gives the chance to the boys instead of the girls to go to school.

3）Girls don’t have a chance to run a company.(F)

Women have a chance,but they need to prove they can run business successful before they get the chance.

4）When women have children,they have to stop work.(T)
