The first is based on the song Teach You Children:(5 minutes) －According to the song, who should teach whom? Is learning a one-way street? (Parents and children should teach other and learn from each other. Learning is a two-way interaction.) －Can you guess what the theme of this unit, ways of learning, refers to ? (Different people have different learning styles.) 2) Ss listen to the following quotation from 《文汇读书周报》 （2001 年 12 月 1 日第一版， “自主教育： ‘管’ 还是 ‘不管’ ， ？” take some notes, and then T will invite some Ss to summarize in English how Chen Yuhua's parents handle her education. 一本由中国经济出版社推出的《千万别管孩子 ―― 自主教育哈佛启示录》的书近来极为畅销，问 世才一月，在去昂销售量已达到 20 万册。其所提倡的“自主教育”理念在教育界引发争议。 不少读者反映，这本书最初吸引他们的是出挑的书名――“千万别管孩子” ，难道真的应当对孩子 的教育放任自流？看了书后才明白，该书所强调的，其实并非让家长“别管”孩子，恰恰是“怎么去管” 这个老问题。但它鲜明地提出了“自主教育”理念，切中了社会热点。 该书主人公陈宇华的父母在讲述教育经验时说，虽然他们常说“从来没管过她” 。其实，他们一直 在管她，而管的内容，就是反复提醒孩子的自我意识，让她认识到自己才是教育的主体，一切要靠自己 的努力，才会成功，老师家长则仅仅起辅导作用。这正是自主教育的精髓所在?? (possible summary: They let her learn independently and seek out knowledge actively. They may help during the process, but don't expect to spoon-feed her with knowledge.) (15 minutes)2全新版《大学英语》综合教程 第二册 教案3) T may lead in to Text A by saying: As you may have noticed from the book title 《千万别管孩子――自主 教育哈佛启示录》 ，Chen Yuhua's parents hold quite a western view on child education. They disagree with many other more traditional parents .In Text A, Howard Gardner made a detailed comparison between Chinese and Western attitudes toward learning.(2 minutes)4.While-reading tasks1) Do exercise Text organization 1 on p.10 and let the students find out the text is divided into three parts and determine the number of paragraphs in each part. Part Division of the Text Parts 1 2 Lines 1~32 33~97 Main Ideas An anecdote: the Chinese staff helped Benjamin to place the key. The author’s thoughts about different approaches to learning in China and the west 3 98~102 In the form of a question, the author gives a suggestion of a more rational approach to fostering creativity and basic skills. 2) Skimming (15 minutes) a) Ss skim Paras 1-5 and be ready to answer the following questions:__ Where and when sis the incident take place? (Jinling Hotel in Nanjing, spring 1987) __ Who are the main characters in this incident? (author, his wife Ellen, their son Benjamin, hotel staff) __ What is the attitude of the author and his wife toward Benjamin's efforts in inserting the key into the slot? (They let him explore and enjoy himself) __ What is the attitude of the hotel staff toward Benjamin’s efforts? (They held his hand and taught him how to insert the key correctly.) b) T asks some S pairs to report to the class, one asking the above questions and the other providing theanswers. c) T tells Ss that there are many ways of introducing a topic (see Text Analysis). Ss will decide which wayis adopted by Howard Gardner. 3) T explains language points from Para 1 to Para 5,and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (15 minutes) 4) Paraphrase the sentence: Line 13~15: D…Because of his tender age and incomplete understanding of theneed to position the key just so, he would usually fail.‖ D… Because he was so young and didn’t quite know that he should position the key carefully to fit into the narrow key slot, he would usually fail.‖3全新版《大学英语》综合教程 第二册 教案5) T guides Ss through the directions for Text Organization 2 and Writing Strategy. Then Ss scan the first sentence of both Para 6 and Para 7,and decide what method of comparison and contrast is used here (one-side-at-a-time method). (8 minutes). 6) T explains language points from Para 6 to Para 10,and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (15 minutes)5．ExercisesConfusable words1) Ignore, neglect, omit & overlook这几个词都有忽略、遗漏之意。 neglect: give too little attention or care to 是指对职责、义务或应做的事没有给予足够的注意。这种忘记可能是有意的，也可能是无意的。例如： Those who neglect their duties should be punished. 玩忽职守者应受惩罚。 Why do they always neglect the traffic regulation. 他们为什么老是不注意遵守交通规则呢？ He gave too much attention to his career, working long hours and neglecting his wife. Their investment turned out to be a failure and the manager was accused of neglecting his duties. ignore : pay no attention to sb./sth. On purpose, or as if sth. Has not happened. 指疏忽、不顾，强调对某人或某物故意不理会，有时还带有固执地拒绝的意味。例如： when I saw Tom, I stopped to greet him, but he ignored me and walked on. 看到汤姆时，我停下来和他打招呼，但他没有理我继续往前走。 The teacher ignored my difficult questions. 老师对我的难题置之不理。 I said DGood morning‖ to her, but she just ignored me and walked on. omit 指因专注或疏忽而忘记某事，这种失误可能是有意或无意的。该词还可指删除不利或不必要的东 西。例如： She should not omit to visit the museum. 她不应忘了去参观博物馆。 The third part of the book may be omitted. 该书的第三部分可以删掉。 E.g. The best way to deal with an impolite person is to ___ him.4全新版《大学英语》综合教程 第二册 教案A. ignore B. neglect C. omitD. overlookoverlook, 看漏， （监督检查时）遗漏，忽略。 （A） 2) Investigate, examine & inspect 这几个词都有调查、检查之意。 investigate 较正式，指有条不紊地进行调查研究以发现事实真相，更常用以说明调查案件、情况、背景 来历先等。例如： They investigated the cause of the accident. 他们调查了事故的原因。 The police are investigating the murder. 警方正在调查这件谋杀案。 examine 是普通用语，指仔细地检查人或物。 该词还指官方主持的检查或医生进行的诊察，也表示对 某种观点的讨论研究，更指考试。 They examined our passports very carefully. 他们仔细检查了我们的护照。 An optician is qualified to examine your eyes and prescribe glasses. 眼科医生有资格来检查你的眼睛并给你配眼镜。 inspect 较正式，用得不如 examine 广泛，指对某人或某物进行检查、查问，带有揭示其差异或缺陷的 意思。更常指官员们的视察以发现下属单位的缺点等，还指检阅军队。例如： The firemen were inspecting the warehouse for potential fire hazards. 消防人员正在检查仓库以防火灾。 Every length of cloth is inspected before it leaves the factory.出厂之前每寸布匹都检查过。6. Writing StrategyComparison and contrast Topics can be developed with examples, as in Text A, unit 6, Book 1, or by analysis using cause and effect, as in Text A, Unit 8, Book 1. Likewise, topics can be developed by analysis using comparison and contrast, as is the case with Text A of this unit. When planning a comparison and contrast essay, you should bear in mind the following points: 1) What to choose for comparison You will find it advisable to choose the most significant points for comparison that would support the central idea in your essay. For instance, if you were comparing Smith and Parker in order to show that one is better as5全新版《大学英语》综合教程 第二册 教案a professor, you would choose teaching style as the point of comparison and contrast. Other points, such as life style and age would be irrelevant. 2) how to organize your essay You can organize comparison and contrast through two major ways. One way is to examine one subject thoroughly and then start the other. The other way is to examine two subjects at the same time, discussing them point by point. The first pattern seems easier to manage. The second pattern, on the other hand, makes it easier for readers to see the similarities and differences between the subjects. While both patterns may be effective for short essays, it seems better to use the second for longer essays so as to make it easier for readers to follow. 3) Homework writing (1) How I learn at college (2) Changes in my hometownII. Text AnalysisAn essay is usually made up of three parts: a beginning where the the body part where the topic is elaborated on, and a conclusion. Besides stating the topic directly, there are many other ways to introduce a theme. In this text, an anecdote or an incident is used. The author of Test A, Unit6, Book 1 (What Animals Really Think) introduces his topic by posing a question: DDo animals all have thoughts, what we call consciousness?‖ Text B, Unit 3, Book 1 (How to Make Sense out of Science) begins by quoting newspaper headlines: DNew Drugs Kill Cancer Devastation by El Nino C a Warning 6:30 p.m. October 26, 2028: Could This Be the Deadline for the Apocalypse?‖ Text B of this unit, Children and Money, begins with an imagined argument between a child and his parent over the control of pocket money. Discover other forms of introduction as you read on. However, the more important point is that you should learn to vary your own writing by adopting various types of topic introduction. Without a conclusion, an essay lacks a sense of completeness. A conclusion may be a restatement of the main points previously mentioned, a proposed solution, a quotation from some book or person, a prediction of future developments, a suggestion for further study, etc. Text B, Unit 3, Book 1 ends by giving a simile, comparing scientific research to mountain climbing, Da process filled with disappointments and reverses, but6全新版《大学英语》综合教程 第二册 教案somehow we keep moving ahead.‖ In this text, Howard Gardner makes a suggestion in the form of question.III. Cultural Notes1) Education in the West: Much of the current debate over education surrounds the extent to which learning should be teacher-based or student-based. Which of the two should decide what should be learned, how it should be learned, and when it should be learned? Comparing Western and Asian methods of learning it is generally true that Western methods are more student-centered, expecting students to discover things for themselves rather than relying on their teachers to tell them. An extreme version of the student-centered approach can be seen at Summerhill, a school in England established by the educationalist A.S.Neill. There children have complete freedom to decide what they are going to learn and which lessons they will attend. If they wish they need not attend any at all. Mainstream education in England is far more strict, demanding that children attend lessons and follow a national curriculum. This curriculum and the importance of achieving good exam results tend to reinforce a more teacher-centered approach, as both teachers and students find the pressure of time leaves less opportunity for an exploratory approach to learning. 2) Standing on the shoulders of giants: a well-known phrase, frequently employed by invertors to express modesty about their achievements. The suggestion is that while they have been able to see further than those who came before them, it is not because they themselves are intellectual giants. Rather it is because they have been able to build upon the accumulated discoveries of their great predecessors.IV. Language Study1. attach: vt. Fasten or join (one thing to another) E.g.

After I sent the letter asking for a job, I had nothing to do but await the answer. 4. on occasion: now and then E.g.

While writing my term paper I was able to borrow all the relevant books from the school library. 7. investigate: try to find out information about (used in the pattern: investigate sth., investigate +wh-clause) E.g. Police are still investigating how the car accident happened. We can assure you that your complaint will be fully and properly investigated. 8. throw light on : help understand E.g.

Exercisescollocation: intransitive verb + prep: The original meanings are kept intact. E.g. think of, qualify for, work on, work at, burst into usage: plural form of nouns as attributes: When we want to give more specific information about someone or something, we sometimes use a noun in front of another noun, as in rice pudding. For some nouns their plural form must be used when functioning as attributes. E.g. sales meeting, corporate affairs director, arms race, a goods train, communications equipment, a customs officer, a current affairs programs, a clothes shop structure: Only + [adverbial ] + auxiliary verb / be + subject + notional verb + … E.g. Only in America can a billionaire carry on like plain folks and get away with it. the way(in which) + attributive clause E.g.

Writing Strategyhow to write invitations Invitations can be written in either a formal or an informal way according to different gatherings.

Assuming that your class are having a New Year party, December 30, 2006, write an formal invitation to your teacher Rachael Brown.II. Text AnalysisDescribe a person in a indirect way. To make a character portrait convincing, an author must refrain from telling readers directly what the person is like. Instead, he/she lets readers deduce. Of all the method of indirect description, the one used most frequently in Text A is quotation. The author quotes not only Sam Walton himself, E.g. DThe reason for our success …is our people and the way they’re treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here and they deserve the credit. ‖, but also his town folks and colleagues, such as Jamie Bealieu, Jonnie baker etc.14全新版《大学英语》综合教程 第二册 教案Begin an article with an anecdote. The text begins with the anecdote: waiter Jamie Beaulieu had anticipated a lavish mansion at the Walton’s, only to find an ordinary-looking household. This kind of beginning lures readers to go on. There are other anecdotes, like how Sam Walton forgot his wallet and insisted on fetching it to pay the local barber, and how he lost 4 straight games after a Wal-Mart employee asked him a question about pricing.III.

Text AnalysisIn plays, words can tell much about people―what their character is. As we notice, in her speech mother uses a lot of do’s and don’ts, please’s, dear’s and sweetheart’s. She is the real head of the Thompson family, giving out commands to her children as well as to her husband. On the other hand, knowing her children’s attitude to their father’s meddling, she tries to maintain the peace. E.g. D Don’t interrupt‖, DDon’t distract your father‖, and D give your father the respect he deserves‖.III. Cultural Notes1. family life Some families are very child-centered.

Induction is often used in expository writing as well as in persuasive writing. Take Text A of this unit for example. Beginning from paragraph 4, the writer accumulates evidence to show the negative effects of the virtual life on her: her aversion to outside forms of socializing, her lack of discipline, a tendency to become shyer and bad-tempered, etc. Then, in paragraph 10, she makes the inductive leap and reaches the generalization that daily routine and socializing are important to a human being.29全新版《大学英语》综合教程 第二册 教案II.

Cultural Notes1. the Internet: an international computer network for the exchange of information. It was originally usedmainly in the academic and military worlds but has since become available to the large and increasing number of people with personal computers. Others services, E.g. the World Wide Web, are available through it. The Internet is changing our lives and a parallel universe is rapidly emerging online. Today there’s scarcely an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. The Internet is saving companies billions of dollars in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when30全新版《大学英语》综合教程 第二册 教案power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. The Internet and e-commerce are viewed as a global megatrend along the lines of the printing press, the computer and the electricity. You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, baby clothes, stocks, real estate, toys and airline tickets. American kids today are so computer savvy that it virtually ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable future. Most kids use computers to play games and have email chats with friends. What’s clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever-growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. 2.

She herself had once been almost completely blind, but regained her sight. Anne Sullivan began teaching Helen the names of things. Miss Sullivan formed letters with her finger in Helen's hand to spell out words. Helen learned more and more words. She learned how to use her hands to speak for her. In addition to sign language, Helen also learned to use her voice. Later, she learned to read Latin, Greek, French and German. She read with her fingers using the Braille system of raised dots. She also learned to use a typewriter. Anne Sullivan stayed with Helen Keller for many years. She helped her get ready for school and college. Helen Keller was sixteen years old when she started at Radcliffe College in Massachusetts. She completed her studies with honors in nineteen oh four. Helen Keller worked for many years for the American Foundation for the Blind. She met with presidents and traveled to many countries. She wrote books and articles.
