高中英语Unit 5 Speaking and Writing 优秀教案（人教版必修4）(2) 5页

Period 5　Speaking and Writing The General Idea of This Period This period includes speaking and writing,which offers the students an opportunity to develop their comic skills and learn to write humourous stories. Before class,the students are required to prepare a joke or funny story in pairs.In class,the teacher and the students will have a discussion about what is a good way to tell a joke,and then put these ideas into practice when they tell their own jokes or stories.Before writing the teacher can take the story of Mary and the plums as an example to discuss with the students the structure of a humourous story,the last line (or punch line) to make the story funny,and how to organize the stages in a logical order. Teaching Important & Difficult Points Learn the good way to tell a joke or a funny story. Learn the structure,the last line (or punch line),the logical order of a humourous story,and put them into practice. Teaching Methods Create a specific situation to help students to develop their speaking skills. Practice to improve the students’ writing ability. Teaching Aids A multimedia computer Three Dimensional Teaching Aims Knowledge and Skills Help the students to gain the courage to speak in front of the class. Help the students apply what they have learned in this unit to speaking-telling their funny jokes or stories. Help the students learn to write humourous stories—the structure,the last line (or punch line),the logical order. Process and Strategies The teacher group the students and encourage them to sort out the jokes they collected. Help the students to write a humourous story. Feelings and Value Through the discussion the students may know what they are lacking in;while the writing part will enable the students to experience the joy of success. Teaching Procedures Step 1 Speaking　‎ T:Hello,boys and girls! Ss:Mr.Li! T:Have you prepared some jokes or funny stories? Ss:Yes. T:Very good!I’m eager to listen to your jokes and stories.But first I’d like to ask you if you want to tell your jokes or funny stories successfully,what should you do? S:We should pay attention to our tones and intonation and try to bring out the humourous meaning. S:In my opinion,we should not laugh at our own jokes but allow the others to find it funny. S:I think we should not look too serious,and we can use facial expressions and some actions to help us. S:We may pause in the story when we get to the last line (or punch-line).I think this point is very important,because it can draw the listeners’ attention and help them find the story funny. T:It is not easy to be a comedian.It needs many comic skills,and of course much practice.But we just want to have the great fun,so just put the above ideas into practice while telling your stories.That’s enough.Do you agree with me? Ss:We couldn’t agree with you more. T:Then share your jokes or stories with your partners and ask him or her to give you some advice. ‎(Three minutes later.) T:Now who would like to tell your jokes or stories in front of the class? S:Let me try first.This is a funny story about the great humourist,Mark Twain.One day Mark Twain met a friend at the races in England.His friend came up to him and said:“I have mo money left.I wish you would buy me a ticket back to London.” “ Well,” Mark Twain said,“I only have enough money for myself,but I will tell you what we will do.You can hide under my seat in the train and I will hide you with my legs.” The friend agreed.Mark Twain,however,went to the ticket-office and bought two tickets.When the train pulled out,his friend was safely under the seat.The inspector came around for the tickets.When Mark Twain gave the inspector two tickets,he asked:“Where is the other one?” Looking at the inspector,the humourist said in a loud voice:“That is my friend’s ticket.You see,He is a little strange and likes to ride under the seat.” T:Do you think this story interesting? S:Yes.I never thought that a great writer would help his friend in that way.I also have a funny story I would like to share with you.The story is about two soldiers and a boy walking with a donkey.On the way home,the two soldiers decided to have a few drinks in a bar.Having drunk enough,they came out into the street to look for something funny to do.But it was a very quiet place.Just then they saw a peasant boy coming slowly with a donkey by a rope.So the two soldiers decided to make fun of him.“ Hello”,one of the soldiers said to the boy.“Why does your brother have to have a rope round the neck when he goes for a walk with you?” “To stop him joining the army,” the boy answered at once. T:Thank you for bringing us moral as well as laughter.That is,you should never make other people uncomfortable,or you will be done as you do to others.‎ Step 2 Writing　‎ T:We Chinese have such a word:“After reading thousands of books,you can write down excellent articles too.” Now let’s have a try to write down our own funny stories to enjoy ourselves.Let’s first take the story Mary and the plums as an example to see how to write a humourous story.Please read the story and try to figure out its structure or outline. Mary Smith looked at her basket of fruit.They were beautiful,ripe plums.There were far too many to eat but they would make lovely jam.She looked for her cookbook and began to take the stones out of the fruit.When she had finished the cooking,she filled all her empty jam jars and left the rest of the jam in the pan.Then she began to make the lunch. Five days later her husband,John,came home from a visit to his parents.He had been traveling a whole day and felt like having a drink and a cake.As he came into the kitchen he saw a pan with what looked like dark red porridge in it.What was it?As he picked it up he smelled it and it seemed to him that it was bad.Mary must have forgotten it.The food she had left in the pan would attract insects!He took the pan and poured all the jam into the chicken yard and cleaned it.Then,feeling comfortable,he began to eat a piece of cake. Later when Mary came home she noticed the chickens were behaving very strangely.They were running around their yard as if they were sick.What was the matter?She went closer to find out.She saw the dark red porridge on the ground and several chickens asleep beside it.As she looked closer at the food she saw a plum stone.She stood up quickly and went straight to the kitchen.Her husband was sitting at the table and the pan was hanging,clean and empty,on the wall.Mary rushed at her husband and pulled him hard.“What’s the matter?” he asked.“It’s a good thing I threw away that porridge.” “But that was my jam!” cried Mary.When they went into the yard,they realized that the hot weather had turned the jam into wine and the chickens were drunk!“Oh,”Mary cried out,“I forgot to put the jam into the fridge.Now what shall we do with the drunken chickens?Does anyone know what to do with drunk chickens?” T:Well,you can have a discussion with your partners about the structure of the story. Two minutes later. T:Who would like to tell us the structure of the story? S:I think the structure of the story is: ‎1.Mary has too many plums to eat. ‎2.She makes some jam with them. ‎3.She does not have enough jars for all the jam so some is left in the pan. ‎4.It is hot. ‎5.The jam has turned into wine in the heat! ‎6.Some days later her husband sees the remains of the jam and throws it out. ‎7.The chickens eat the jam and become drunk. T:What is the last line or punch line that will be the most effective to make the story funny. S:The punch line may be Now what shall we do with the drunken chickens? And it means we often find people drunk,never found chicken will be drunk. T:It seems that you have got to know something about the writing of humourous stories. Now I’ll give you some time to think of a funny situation in your life and then write out your story.While writing,I hope you will first think about the structure or outline of your story and then try to write down your story in a logical order,using the connecting words on page 23,and don’t forget to write out the punch line.Now I will show you another sample writing: Going home.‎ Outline First I had a pain in my foot,and my sister offered to send me home by bicycle.Then she ordered me to sit on the back seat of the bike,and I tried.Next she rode the bike as quickly as she could.Finally,when she got home she found nothing on the back seat of the bicycle. Story My sister is very kind to me.She is always helpful to me.One morning,after class,I hurt my foot.She said:“Sister,it doesn’t matter.Let me sent you home by bike.” First,she ran to borrow a bike.Then she said:“I ride first,and then you take a seat.” She did what she said and I tried to jump to sit on the seat.But somehow,I failed to do so.Next she began to ride the bike as quickly as she could.She is such a person that she is always lost into deep happiness,especially when she is helping others.At that time,even if she had back eyes,she couldn’t see that I was still standing on the ground.“Let’s go!”She cried happily and proudly.You can imagine what I was feeling at that time.She sped up,and soon she disappeared in my sight.Finally,when I walked back home painfully and slowly,she said to me:“Sister,no wonder I said several times that it was time to get down,but no one answered me!” T:Now it’s your turn to write your own funny stories.After class hand in them and I’ll help you to make some necessary changes.And then you will copy your stories and put them into a class collection of stories,so that your classmates can enjoy them.‎ Step 3 Summary and homework　‎ T:I think it is great fun to listen to your funny jokes and stories in this period,and it will be greater fun to read your collection of stories,as you all can find and enjoy humour in your daily life,and of course make other people laugh.I’m sorry to say,perhaps,some of you haven’t finished your stories.It doesn’t matter.You can do it out of class as your homework.Tomorrow we will finish this unit,so you are required to get ready for the dictation of the new words and expressions in this unit. The Design of the Writing on the Blackboard Unit ‎3　‎A Taste of English humour Period 5　Speaking & Writing ‎1.Way of
