Teaching Plan: Six Periods 1st period: Warming-up, Listening (WB) & Talking 2nd period: Speaking 3rd period: Reading-Born Dying 4th period: Integrating Skills (SB) 5th period: Language Study-Word Study 6th period: Language Study-Grammar The First Period Goals: 1.To focus on talking about deadly diseases as warming up and listening practice. 2. To learn some basic knowledge about AIDS. 3.To help students build the right attitudes towards AIDS. Teaching procedures: I. Warming up 1. Lead-in 1) Show a picture of AIDS logo to lead in the subject-AIDS  Are you familiar with this red ribbon?  What’s it related to?  What doesn’t it mean? Do you know? (Possible answer: Red ribbon is related to AIDS. It means that we should give AIDS patients love and care, understand and support.) 2) Show a picture of Pu Cunxin and other stars to show that AIDS is a worldwide problem.  Do you know them?  What is their job besides acting?  Is it just the problem in China? (Possible answer: It’s not just the problem in China. It’s a worldwide problem. And besides some famous stars, some ordinary people also work very hard to tell others the harm of this disease.) 2. Brainstorming Q1: While talking about AIDS, what other diseases can you think of? Individual work: Let students brainstorm the names of diseases, such as cold, headache, toothache, diarrhoea, cut, coughing, scald, insomnia, heart attack, cancer, AIDS, etc. (With the development of science and hi-tech, many diseases can be cured. But for now, AIDS is still incurable, so it’s a deadly disease.) 3. How much do you know about AIDS? 1) Pair work-questions for discussion  What’s the full name of AIDS?  Can AIDS be transmitted?  In what ways can it be transmitted?  What kinds of people are likely to get AIDS?  Do people with AIDS look healthy at first?  Is it safe or dangerous to stay or to be friends with them? Why? (Students don’t have to give the exact answers. These questions will help them think about this disease-AIDS.) 2) AIDS QUIZ AIDS quiz -check students’ knowledge about AIDS. 2) Picture quiz -Can the AIDS virus transmitted via the following routes? Summary: Medical studies show that the AIDS virus cannot be transmitted via the following routes: cups, glasses, toilet seats, swimming pools, mosquitoes, other insects or giving blood. So it’s safe to be friends with AIDS patients. II. Listening (WB) 1. Pre-listening: Go through EX1&2 in Part1 and guess “What do the letters HIV and AIDS stand for? 2. While-listening: Listen to the tape and finish exercises in Part1&2. (Make good use of some pictures and a flash “HIV-cycle in the PowerPoint) 3. Post-listening: Suppose you are a publicist of AIDS, please give an oral report about it to the whole class. III. Talking Role play: Work in groups. Imagine that the headmaster of a school has found out that one of the students has HIV. The student’s family has kept it a secret until now and the headmaster only learnt the truth last week. He had called a meeting to decide what to do. (Opinions can be based on their knowledge of AIDS and also the characteristics of the roles.) IV. Homework 1. Preview Speaking and find some information about AIDS, drugs, smoking or drinking to support your idea. 2. Learn the new words of this unit by heart. The Second Period Goals:  1.To practise supporting and challenging an opinion.  2.To practise listening comprehension. Teaching Procedures: I. Revision Do you still remember this logo? What can you learn from it? Q1: Do you remember what it means? Q2: In what ways is AIDS transmitted? II. Speaking 1. Pre-speaking 1) Do you agree that getting AIDS is a personal problem? Why or why not? (Through these questions-  Raise the idea of social problem and come to Speaking part.  Introduce the useful expressions of supporting and challenging an opinion on p.50. And throughout the whole class, teachers should try to use these expressions as many as possible to raise students’ awareness. 2) As has just been talked about, AIDS is not only a personal problem, but also a social one. Because when we talk about social problems, we mean crimes such as drug use, murder, theft or robbery and broken families. These social problems cause sadness, unhappiness, harm, fear and even wars in the world or in society. Besides, there are quite a few other social problems. Can you tell some? Can you use your own sentence to describe one of these social problems? (Possible answer: crime, health, homelessness, poverty, gambling, family violence, divorce, unemployment) 3) Information input Give students some information about how serious these problems are and ask them to take notes. Then they can decide what is the most serious. (Refer to the PowerPoint Proper explanation is needed).  About AIDS 1. How many AIDS patients all over the world? Where are they? And are they young or old? 2. What kinds of social problems can AIDS cause? 3. How about the situation in China?  About drugs 1. Is the use of drugs such as heroin, serious? Why do you think so? 2. What should we do with it?  About Smoking 1. Nearly everyone knows that smoking is harmful to our health. But why do people smoke? 2. What kinds of danger can it cause to our body? 3. Can you think of the other dangers of smoking?  About drinking 1. Do your parents drink? Do you think drinking is good or not, or it depends? Give your reasons. 2. Can drinking cause some problem to our body? What are they? 3. Will drinking cause some social problems? Give some example. T: These four are all social problems, as they all will cause sadness, unhappiness, harm, fear and even wars in the world or in society. 2. While-speaking If you were an expert on social problems, what is the most serious problem today, AIDS, drugs, smoking or drinking? Role play  Group of four  Each acts as the expert on AIDS, drug, smoking and drinking.  Use the expressions to support your opinion or challenging other’s opinions. Language input --Repeat it to strengthen students’ ability of use it. Supporting an opinion Challenging an opinion I think that -, because - Perhaps, but what if / about -? First, - Have you thought about -? One reason is that - What makes you think that -? For example, - Could you please explain -? If we / they were to -, we / they could - If I were you, I would - III. Post-speaking Conclusion-Class discussion Q: Could these social problems be avoided? Or could we get rid of social problems in modern times? What can we do to deal with them? (Social problems are around us. They can’t disappear in modern society. But we can do something optimistic or positive to reduce the harm they cause. That’s why we youth are asked to get away from AIDS, drugs, etc. That’s why we youth should develop good habits. That’s why many people including famous stars are busy with telling others the harm. In this way, we can stay healthy both physically and mentally.) Homework 1. Finish Listening exercises 2. Read the passage “FIGHTING THE VIRUS: HIV/AIDS IN AFRICA and finish the Pre-reading exercises . The Third Period Goals:  1.To learn more knowledge about AIDS.  2.To help students understand the attitudes and spirits of living with disease  3.To learn some useful language point Teaching Procedures: I. Pre-reading 1) Q1: What do they look? Show the picture of a father and his son. (The father looks caring, gentle and energetic and the son gives us an impression of being lovely and cute. They appear so healthy that you would never guess that they are living and dying with AIDS.) 2) Q2: Have you ever seen an AIDS patient? How do they look? Show the students some pictures of AIDS patients. (If nothing is done, there is no doubt that all the people infected with AIDS will be like them, no matter how healthy they are now.) 3) Q3: Are they bad people? Do they deserve it? Show more pictures of people infected with HIV or AIDS. (I’m afraid not. Like any father, “Jeremy is my whole life. Every dad dreams of watching his kid grow up and graduate from high school. I never thought that would happen for us because Jeremy and I are both HIV positive. But thanks to our new family clinic, we both have access to the treatments we need. Now maybe I will see Jeremy walk down the aisle with the class of 2017 .[Here give the students several minutes to chew and digest these words.] Like any 12-year-old child, Xiaohua is a happy girl who smiles a lot and likes to talk to her friends after school. However, she has lost her mother and will lose her father and she herself was born dying with AIDS.) 4) Q4: Do you want to know more about their life? Our text is about Xiaohua’s life. What questions do you think will be answered in the text? 1. 2. 3. 4. II. While-reading 1) Skimming: Q: What’s Xiaohua’s attitude towards her disease? 2) Scanning: Q1: In what ways does AIDS spread? Q2: How many children were infected in 2002? 3) Summary: 1. Xiaohua is a 12 -year-old girl living and dying with AIDS. 2. What is AIDS? 3. How was Xiaohua infected? 4. Thousands of children become infected with HIV every day. 5. Xiaohua devotes much of her left time to helping others. III. Post-reading 1) Questions (Much of the answers to these questions can be referred to the reading material on P127.) Q1: Why is AIDS a deadly disease? (Break down/ defenceless/treatment/not available/incurable) Q2: Why do the young suffer the most? (As with many diseases, children seem to suffer the most from AIDS, mainly because of a lack of proper health care, prevention and education. Even if they themselves are not infected, the disease can ruin their lives. They may have to care for sick relatives and are often unable to go to school. Living with a parent or parents who have AIDS is painful and difficult. Because the parents cannot work, the children may not have enough food and must help take care of the family.) Q3: What do they suffer from? (Not only the disease itself and inevitable death, but also people’s not knowing, misunderstanding and fear of the disease.) Q4: What can be done to improve the situation? (By the government: By specialist and doctors: By other people: By the patients themselves: ) Q5: As an AIDS patient, what does Xiaohua do? (not discouraged/ encourage/ visit, support, cheer up/create a network, persuade/talk to people) Q6: What are her wishes? (I wish I could remember If I were to live long - I wish people could- If I were you - Q7: How do you find her? Q8: Next time if you meet an AIDS patient, will you regard him or her as a bad and dangerous person? What would you do? 2) Creation  AIDS Day is approaching, our school is planning some theme activities and it is collecting ideas from the students.  Is it a good idea to invite Xiaohua to give us a lecture? If you were Xiaohua, what would you say to us? Please prepare a speech. IV. Homework 1. Preview Integrating Skills-DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER: THE DAY MY LIFE ENDED - AND BEGAN! 2. Learn the whole text by heart. The Forth Period Goals: 1. To learn some information of cancer and the attitude towards it. 2. To write a personal narrative. Teaching Procedures: I. Pre-reading Life is not always smooth, but with submerged rocks here and there, now and then. When faced with unexpected diseases or disasters or even death, what attitude to choose is a question. Q: For example, if you found out that you had an incurable disease, how do you think your life would change? And how would you act towards the change? -- Born dying with AIDS, Xiaohua says, “My life may have to be short, but there’s no reason why it can’t be beautiful. -- Diagnosed with cancer, `I’ also have something to say to you. Now let’s see what `I’ will say to you. II. While-reading Questions: Q1: How did cancer change the writer’s life? Q2: Compare the writer’s situation with that of Xiaohua. In what way are their experiences similar or different? Q3: Do their experiences strike you? Q4: What have you learnt from them? (Get the students to put emphasis on some language points, especially how the writer expresses what he thinks. e.g.  I remember having an empty feeling in my stomach and thinking that my life was going to end.  There were days when I wished that I were dead so that I would not have to feel so sick.) III. Writing Life is like a moon, sometimes round, sometimes not. We have happy times and also sad moments. If we draw a timeline, we will find it is not always straight. Take myself for instance- Steps to follow Step one: think about your past days: what were some events that made you very happy? What made you very sad? Step two: draw a timeline of your life and mark the best times and the worst times . Step three: talk about the happy and sad things to your partner, with reference to the timeline. Step four: choose one event, either happy or sad, which impresses you most. Try to remember all the details of it, especially how it made you feel, what it made you think and why it is important in your life. Prepare for writing it down. Step five: work out an outline of what you are going to write. Step six: read an example. Step seven: begin to write. IV. Homework 1. Write an essay about an important event in your life.

What has happened to her? Q3. What is her attitude towards the disease? (She is a brave girl. She is not discouraged by AIDS, instead, she tries her best to encourage and help other AIDS patients.) II. Learn and practice using some antonyms 1) Ask students to pay attention to the two words in bold and explain to them their meanings, pointing out that they have opposite meanings and this kind of words are called antonyms. 2) Let students have a competition. Try to find the antonyms of the following words. Let's see who can do it correctly and quickly. defenceless -- defensive infect with -- immune to protected -- unprotected incurable -- curable discourage -- encourage visible -- invisible 3) Practice using these antonyms through exercises.

People get AIDS after having been infected with HIV, the virus that causes the disease. There are millions of people who die of AIDS every year. So far, there is no treatment available for the disease and AIDS patients have to deal with the fact that they might die young. Unfortunately, a deadly disease such as AIDS also frightens others. Because of a lack of knowledge about how it gets transmitted, people often treat AIDS patients as if they were bad or dangerous. Xiaohua is a 12-year-old girl. Though she has been living with AIDS for 12 years, she is not discouraged by the disease. On the contrary, it makes her realize how precious life is and how important it is to live life to the fullest. V. Set a new situation, asking students to write down a short dialogue.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts. He has let me use his horse ranch(养马场)to put on events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

Last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant(流动的)horse trainer. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be when he grew up.”

“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday. He put all his heart into the project and wrote about his dream in great detail. He even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of the buildings, stables and the track, and even a detailed floor plan for a 4000-square-foot house on it.”

“The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later ,he received a large red “F” on his paper with a note, ‘See me after class.’ The boy went to see the teacher and asked why. The teacher told him there was no way for a young boy like him to do that because owning a horse ranch required much money and resources, and then added ‘If you’ll rewrite his paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what to do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it’s a very important decision for you.’”

“Finally, a week later, the boy turned in the same paper without any change and stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’”

“I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.”

Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

teacher thought 　　 .

D．Because he had put too much of his heart into it.

3. From the story we can infer that the boy was actually 　　 .
