Ⅱ. Teaching procedure
(Before class, the teacher devides the students into several groups, each group has 6 or 7 students, during the class, the students who answer the teacher’s questions correctly can get 1 point for their group. ) （课前，教师根据学生人数把学生分成几个小组，每组6-7人，上课过程中，回答教师问题正确的学生，每答对一题，小组得1分。）
Step1：Pre-reading (1)Greetings.
Greet the new students and give them an introduction about myself and introduce about my daughter’s after-school classes.
T: Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you. I’m very glad to see you today. First, let me introduce about myself. I’m from Wuhan No.6 Middle school, and my name is Kevin.
Look, here is a photo I took last week. You can see a little girl in my arms right? Who is she? (Ss: your daughter) Yes, she is my daughter. What do you think of her? (Ss: cute, lovely...) Thank you. Can you guess:how old is she? (Ss: 4,5,6...)Yes, she’s only 6.
Although she’s very young, she’s good at a lot of things, such as roller skating, dancing, drawing, playing the drums and so on. But you know, nobody was born with so many skills, children have to learn. So I have to send Yoyo to many after-school classes.
Look at here, this is Yoyo’s Time Table, you can see she’s very busy, right? She has 2 after-school classes on weekdays, and 4 classes on weekends. Weekends are even much busier than weekdays!
What about you? Are you the same as Yoyo? Do you also have so many after-school classes?
(教师与学生打招呼，跟学生介绍自己女儿的才艺以及她的课外培优课程表，引发学生的共鸣。) (2) Warming-up game
Play a game “That’s me” to activate the class. T: Now, let’s play a game “That’s me”. Let me show you an example:
When I say: Yoyo does her homework after school. If you do your homework, too, you stand up and say loudly “That’s me”. Are you clear? Now I say the first one: Yoyo plays computer games. Ss: That’s me! Thank you, sit down please. Yoyo plays sports. Ss: That’s me! Yoyo takes after-school classes. Ss: That’s me! Yoyo hangs out with friends. Ss: That’s me!......
Ok, I know most of you have to take classes after school.
（通过和学生玩“那是我”游戏活跃课堂气氛，让学生们兴奋起来，得出“上课外班”在中国非常普遍的结论，引出本课阅读话题。） Step2：While-reading. 1. Fast- reading
Give students 3minutes to read the whole passage quickly and finish the mind map of paragragh 1 by thinking of 2 questions.
T: It’s very common to have after-school classes in China. “Common” means you have , I have, we all have. It’s usual. (板书：Language points：1. common = usual) What about foreign students? Are they also tired? Do they also have many after-school classes too?
So today we’re going to read a text about it. Please open your books , turn to page 30 and read the whole passage.
I’ll give you 3 minutes to read it, and try to answer the following questions.
① What classes do children learn? ② Why do they learn?
(通过形象的英英解释，通俗易懂地解释本单元核心词汇“common”，给学生足够时间通读全文，并通过2个问题, 帮助学生阅读第一段，理清文章结构。)
Now time is up. From reading, you know in China and in America, children have the common problem, what’s it? Yes, too many after -school classes. (逐条播放PPT第一段思维导图，填空。)
Now please tell me: what kinds of classes do they learn? And Why do they learn? Exam skills...so that... good schools, sports...so that...compete and win. (逐条播放PPT第一段思维导图，填空。)
What does “so that” mean? Can you change it into another word or phrase? Yes, it means “in order to” or “for” ,on purpose. (板书：2. so that = in order to = for) Can you read the whole sentence with “in order to” and “for”? I have another question, I don’t know the word “compete”, can you tell me
the meaning? Ss: it means 竞争。How do you know that? When we read an article, it’s common to meet some new words that we don’t know, if we can’t look them up in the dictionary, what can we do? Ss: Guess! Yes, but how to guess? Ss: according to the context.(上下文)。Yes, let me show you some tips for guessing the meanings. Take “compete” for example, here we can see “and”, A and B means A is very similar to B, so Compete and Win, Compete is very similar to win, win means the best, No.1, so compete means “try to be the best or the first one”. (板书：3。 compete =win=try to be the best or the first one)
OK，it’s your turn! Have a try please! What’s the meaning of “training”?Ss: it means “practice”(Ask the students to explain how to guess it) (板书：4. training= practice)
（利用2个问题完成第一段思维导图：孩子们课后学什么？为什么学？讲解语言知识so that，并让学生进行词汇替换的口头练习加深对连词的理解和熟练使用；接着自然地将猜词策略介绍给学生，通过“and”表示并列关系来猜，给出一个示范“compete”再让学生练习一个“training”巩固教学效果。）
2. Careful-reading
Give the students 3 minutes to read P2,3,4 carefully and finish 3 tasks. You can guess the meanings so well. Now I’m sure you can understand
the text better. You see, I’m a very typical Chinese mother, busy and tired all the time because of my daughter’s too many after-school classes. What about American mothers? What do they think? Now please look at your work sheet in your hand. Here is a chart. Please read P2,3,4, there are 3 people giving their opinions. Please circle them out and write down their names one by one below “Who”. This is your first task. Task 2 is that you should underline the key sentences in the text about “what are their opinions”, Task 3 is that some of the people give their advice, please underline the “advice”. Are you clear? 1. Who 2.Opinion 3.
Advice. Do it now! 3 minutes. Just underline!
（利用思维导图将文章2、3、4段的who, opinion及advice建立链接，并提供重点句型框架，将零散的信息进行归类和联系后，可加深学生对文章的整体把握和感知，有助于学生分析文章结构和对比不同人的不同观点。给学生3分钟时间阅读文章2,3,4段，任务1要求找出发表观点的三个人的名字并填写在表格里。任务2要求在文章中划出每个人的观点，任务3要求在文章中划出持不同观点的人给出的建议。）
Check the answers of 3 tasks one by one to finish filling the chart on the worksheet and help the students to build an article structure in their mind. Ok, time is up! Have you found out the answers? First, please tell me who gives their opinions about too many after-school classes? Ss: Cathy Taylor, Linda Miller and Dr. Alice Green. Yes, Very good job! 1）Paragragh 2: Cathy Taylor’s opinion
Now, who can tell me Cathy Taylor’s opinion? You can just read your underlined sentences of what she says. Ss: Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities......Yes, good! Now let’s read the sentences together! So after reading, you tell me: “Cut out” means...? Ss: it means stop, delete. (板书5：5. cut out =stop doing, delete, give up) Will Cathy Taylor cut out any activities? Ss: No,she won’t. Why? Ss: Because she believes these activities are important for her children’s future. She really wants them to be successful. (逐条在PPT中显示opinion的重点句型和关键词，构建文章框架及细节。) So can you tell me Cathy Taylor’s attitude? Does she agree or disagree to have too many after-school classes? Ss: Agree! Yes, right. Can you conclude Cathy Taylor’s opinion in only one sentence? Ss: Cathy Taylor thinks children should take many after-school classes.
（要求学生在第二段中直接勾划出发表观点的人名Cathy Taylor及观点，全班齐读，并提炼出重点句型，梳理观点，归纳出人物所持态度---同意还是不同意上很多课外补习班，并要求学生用一句自己的话归纳Cathy
的观点。训练了学生提取信息并读懂作者意图的能力，同时锻炼了概括归纳的表达能力。在梳理文章框架的同时，兼顾了对语言知识点“cut out”的讲解以及阅读技巧的渗透，尽可能让学生在语篇中学习新词汇和句型，加深对文章的理解和知识点的运用，相辅相成。） 2）Paragragh 3: Linda Miller’s opinion and advice
Now, who can tell me Linda Miller’s opinion? Ss: Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes......Yes, excellent! So Linda Miller thinks it’s crazy to compare their kids with other kids. She doesn’t think it’s fair. What’s the meaning of “compare”? “with””fair”...(利用肢体语言去比划)Yes, it means the same or different. We look for the similarities or the differences between A and B.(板书6：compare...with...比较) So does Linda Miller give us any advice? Ss: ...Yes, She says “why don’t they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn’t push their kids so hard ”. (逐条在PPT中显示opinion 和advice的重点句型和关键词，构建文章框架及细节。) Do you know “push”? Can you act “push” for me? (肢体语言作出“推”的动作 )So can you tell me Linda’s attitude? Does she agree or disagree to have too many after-school classes? Ss: Disagree! Yes, right. Although they are both three children’s mother, they have different opinions.
（要求学生在第三段中直接勾划出发表观点的人名Linda Miller及观点、建议，提炼出重点句型，梳理观点，归纳出人物所持态度---同意还是不同意上很多课外补习班，继续训练了学生提取信息并读懂作者意图的能力。在梳理文章框架的同时，兼顾了对语言知识点“compare with”、“push”的讲解以及对阅读技巧“如何猜词”的渗透，借助肢体语言让学生更加直观地了解动词意思，使课堂幽默风趣。） 3）Paragragh 4: Dr. Alice Green’s opinion and advice
Now here comes an expert----Dr. Alice Green. What does she say? Does she agree with Cathy or Linda? Does she agree or disagree to have too many after-school classes? Ss: Disagree! Yes, right. She has the same opinion as Linda. She says too much pressure is not good for children’s development, all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. Ok,
can you find another word here has the similar meaning to “stress”? Yes, it’s “pressure”.(板书：7.stress= pressure press means 按，pressure means 压力。）What about “development”？It’s something good or bad？Yes， something good. We’ve learned “develop”, it’s a verb, means grow up, become bigger or better. “development” is its noun.（板书：8. development发展） They mean the same. So does Dr. Alice Green give us any advice? Ss: ...Yes, She says “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want some successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children”. (逐条在PPT中显示opinion 和advice的重点句型和关键词，构建文章框架及细节。) “Although”means 尽管，表示意思转折。(板书：9. Although尽管) So having happy children, or having successful children, which one is more important? Yes, happy! So Dr. Alice Green thinks it’s more important to have happy children than have successful children.
（要求学生在第四段中直接勾划出发表观点的人名Dr. Alice Green，体会她的情感态度。讨论作为专家，她更支持两位美国妈妈中哪一位的观点。在梳理文章框架的同时，兼顾了对语言知识点“stress”、“development”“although”的讲解以及对阅读技巧“如何猜词”的渗透，如在文中找同义词，构词法，根据上下文体会连词要表达的是因果、并列还是转折等。）
Ask the students to read after the teacher to review the whole passage, and the students can learn good examples for how to use the sentence patterns to express opinions.
Now please look at this chart again, we can see we have a lot of useful expressions to express our opinions and advice, let’s review them together! Now please read after me:
Cathy Taylor couldn’t cut out her children’s after-school activities, because she believes they’re important for her children’s future, and she really wants them to be successful.
Linda Miller thinks it’s crazy to compair their children with other children,
she dosen’t think that’s fair. Why don’t let kids be kids, parents shouldn’t push their children too hard.
Dr. Alice Green thinks too many after-school activities can cause stress, it’s not good for children’s development. Children should have time to relax and think, Being happy is more important than successful.
(通过老师对着表格利用重点句型和关键词复述全文每个人的不同观点，学生一起跟读，使学生复习了文章内容，了解如何根据表格复述全文的技巧，对文章有了更深入的理解和整体把握，还给学生作出了如何使用句型造句表达观点的示范，为接下来的活动做好准备奠定语言基础。) Step3：After-reading.
What do you think of after-school classes?
1.Show students an example and ask them to say out their opinions about
taking after-school classes.
T: From the reading, we know some people’s opinions about taking after-school classes. Who do you agree with more, Cathy Taylor, Linda Miller or Dr. Alice Green? I agree with Cathy Taylor, because I want a successful daughter, too. And I think she’s clever enough to learn so many skills. However, my husband disagrees. He thinks kids should be kids, kids should get more chances to get closer to the nature. What about you? Please tell me your opinions, you can make up the sentences by using the sentence structures on the screen. Ss:......
（学生在了解reading中人物观点后，教师询问学生对书中人物观点的看法，同时表述自己和丈夫的不同观点，引发学生对课外补习的评论。通过设置真实的语言情景，能够让学生快速地进入话题，让学生有感而发，有话可说，有充分的表达欲望） 2. Match exercise
T: Well done, everyone! Today, I’ve told you some tips to guess words’ meanings. Now I want to check whether you can guess them well by yourself. Now let’s do a match exercise. Ss:...(2 minutes)
Now let’s check the answers together. “Continue” means keep on happening. How do you guess it? Ss: “start...until...”(板书10：until直到...才...) T: 开始。。。直到。。。说明是个延续性的动作。So it’s “ing”. Well done! Now let’s go on...
（最后设置一个生词连线的练习来巩固和检测学生本节课“猜词策略”的掌握情况，训练学生“英英”思维，让学生进一步加深对语言知识的理解和掌握。）
Now let’s look at the blackboard together! Which group is the winner? Yes, Group X has got the most points! Congratulations to Group X! Well done!
(统计课堂表现小组积分，评出冠军组并给予祝贺和鼓励。) Homework:
T：All of you did a good job in this class. We read an article “Maybe you should learn to relax” today, but can you tell me how? Today’s homework: Please give me some tips for how to relax and write me an e-mail: ***************. So that I can shhare these good ways with my students and friends. I really hope all my students can faind a good way to keep a balance between study and relaxation, you can be both happy and successful! So much for today! Thank you! （本节课的after-school classes话题阅读是一个典型的框架式阅读，通过阅读前的一系列活动，教师激发学生对话题的兴趣，在阅读过程中，整理文章的思路及框架，通过对不同人不同观点和建议的提炼，学生能总结概括观点，并模仿句型和利用关键词表达自己的观点。在此过程中，教师结合文章进行了语言知识点的讲解和猜词的阅读策略渗透，包括肢体语言地辅助运用，使得学生不再孤立重复机械地学习新词汇和语法知识，能够词汇为理解文章服务，文章为词汇提供学习背景，相得益彰，让学生的语言综合理解运用能力相辅相成地发展和提高。最后布置作业让学生讨论如何放松才能保持学业与休息之间的平衡，科学地管理我们的课外时间，使我们既能做成功的孩子，又能做开心的孩子。）
