2. Homework

(个人自我反省总结。)

T: In the topic, we’ve talked so much about television. Now, let’s think about ourselves, and write a report on “What can I Learn from Television?”.

1. (进入教材4部分。)

T: The text tells us some good and bad influences television has on us. Maybe, there are many more influences besides the above. Now, let’s have a debate on the statement: Television has a bad influence on children.

(板书画线部分内容。)

T: You are divided into two groups. Group 1 agrees with the idea and you are the Affirmative Team. Group 2 disagrees with the idea and you are the Negative Team. There are some rules for you:

(1)Each team has three speakers. But both teams do research on the topic and try to find reasons for their point of view.

(2)The first speaker from each team presents their ideas.

(3)The second speaker further argues and disagrees with the previous speaker from the other team.

(4)The third speaker from each team disagrees with the other team’s ideas further.

(5)Speakers debate the statement freely.

(6)The third speaker makes a summary of what their team has argued.

Now, each group discusses and writes your ideas and reasons on a piece of paper and then gives it to your speakers.

(教师告诉学生辩论程序和要领后，学生分组讨论。)

T: Debate begins with the Affirmative Team, then the Negative Team.

Example:

2. (完成活动3。)

T: We’ve learnt many TV programs and some different cultures in China and western countries. In this section, suppose we’ll design a new TV program. What would it be about?

S₃: I would rather design a program about country life.

S₄: We’d better design a program about culture of China and western countries.

T: That sounds a good idea. Let’s make it. What name do you think is the best?

S₅: How about Sky for Culture?

T: It sounds good. Anything else?

S₆: Talks on Different Cultures.

T: What do you think of Talks on Different Cultures?

Ss: We would rather choose Talks on Different Cultures than Sky for Culture.

(让学生尽可能地发挥其创造性，选择其中创意较好的几个进行评论。)

T: What will we discuss in the program Talks on Different Cultures? There are some suggestions:

(1) Different ways of greeting.

(2) Different emotions towards animals, plants and other things.

Do you have any other suggestions to add?

S₇: We can also add some proverbs to it.

(学生可能用中文陈述proverb。教师可帮助他们用英文表示。)

S₈: So we must collect a lot of information to design a good program.

S₉: It must be interesting.

Step 5　 Project 第五步　 综合探究活动(时间: 8分钟)

进行辩论活动，完成4。

1. (学习Useful expressions，完成2。让一个学生读，另一个学生译成汉语，教师可以适当帮助。)

T: Look at Useful expressions. I’ll ask two students to do it. One reads these sentences, the other translates them into Chinese.

S₁: …

S₂: …

T: Good. Here “would rather do sth. than sth.” means “prefer sth. to sth.” or “prefer doing sth. to doing sth.”

2. T: Further discuss some questions about the text each other, then I’ll ask some students to report your answers.

(教师呈现写有下列任务的小黑板。让学生讨论。)

(此活动的目的是使学生进一步加深对文章内容的理解，培养学生从整体把握文章主题或大意的能力，了解文章的结构，把握文章的内在联系。)

T: Stop here! S₁, would you like to try?

S₁: OK. Let me try. The topic sentence of the text is that television has a huge influence on our lives. The main idea of paragraph 1 and 2 is advantages of watching TV. The main idea of paragraph 3 is disadvantages of watching TV. The last paragraph tells us to choose proper television programs.

(教师把画线部分填入上述表格内。学生回答若有困难，教师可提示一些关键词，如: advantage 和disadvantage。)
