选修八 Unit 5 Reading
A VISIT TO THE ZHOU KOUDIAN CAVES 教学设计
一， 教学内容分析
本文选自人教版高中英语课本选修八第五单元 Meeting your ancestors reading部分。该部分设计了一组英国学生到周口店遗址参观的场景，通过学生与考古学家的对话，了解早期人类的生活方式，增长考古学识，让学生体验人类文明的发展进程，同时激发学生对考古学的兴趣和研究古代史的欲望。 二， 教学目标
1. Let students try to work out the meaning of the new words and structures using context clues and
enable students to appreciate interesting phrases and figurative language.
2. Let students know about the information of one site where early people lived in China.
3. Give students an insight into the kind of questioning techniques that archaeologists use to get
information about the life of early people from the object they find.
三， 教学重难点
如何利用教材文本引导学生体验式阅读并培养他们的批判性思维能力和英语综合能力。 四， 教学设计
Step 1 通过播放一个无声的铅笔画视频，让学生体验人类文明的发展进程。师生互动，就此话题展开讨论，从而导出阅读中“周口店北京人”的主题。 1. What information can we get from the video?
2. Is there any way that you can know about the information of one site where early people lived in
China?
Step 2 解读课文标题和图片，预测课文内容。 解读题目: What’s the title?
What do you think the reading is about? Where is Zhoukoudian? What is it famous for?
图片解读： Who you think the people were? Were they like us modern people? What are the differences? How did they make a living? Guess and imagine what their life was like?
Step 3 梳理生词。学生扫读全文，然后根据上下文的语境，推测并匹配本课目标词汇和该词的英文释义。
Skim the whole passage and let students try to work out the meaning of the new words using context clues.
Interrupt _________ a. n. study of sth by examining its parts and their relationship Acute _________ b. v. to make something capable of cutting, piercing, not blunt. Assume _________ c. v. to make sth fully grown and ready to be eaten.
Regardless _________ d. v. to say or do sth that makes sb stop what they are saying or doing. Sharpen _________ e. adj. of or at an early stage of social development. Ample _________ f. adv. paying no attention, even if the situation is bad or there are difficulties. Messy _________ g. adj. enough, abundant.
Primitive _________ h. adj. clever at understanding and making judgements about a situation. Analysis _________ i. adj, dirty and untidy. Ripen _________ j. v. accept (sth) as true before there is proof.
Answer: d, h, j, f, b, g, i, e, a, c
Notes: I am sorry to interrupt you but … this is a polite way of speaking, it means you want to ask a question while someone else is speaking. You stop the other person but try not to upset him/her.
Step 4 快速阅读文章，并把全文分成三部分，概括全文以及三个小部分的中心思想。
Read the conversation again and divide the passage into 3 parts and find out the three topics that archeologist talked about.
Main idea: An archeologist is showing the students from England around the Zhoukoudian caves. Topic 1 (Line 1-18) Life in the cave. Topic 2 (Line 19-37) What we can learn from a needle. Topic 3 (Line 38-52) What we can learn from a necklace.
Step 5 仔细阅读。Careful reading.
For Topic 1. Why have the English students come to the zhoukoudian caves?
You must be aware that it is here that we found evidence of some of the earliest people who lived in this part of the world. We’ve been excavating here for many years.
Notes: You must be aware that…. This is a polite way for the archeologist to remind her audience of something they probably already know: that the Zhoukoudian caves are one of the sites of early people in China.
We have been excavating here… An excavation is the word used by archaeologists to describe the procedure for digging and recording a site.
2. Where did early people live?
So we think it is reasonable to assume they lived in these caves, regardless of the cold.
3. How did people keep warm?
We have discovered fireplaces in the center of the caves where they made fires. That would have kept them warm.
…….., which suggests that they might have kept the fire burning all winter.
4. What did they use for doors?
We think they might have hung animal skins at the cave mouth to keep out the cold.
Notes : It is reasonable to assume….. This is a very common way that archaeologists will explain something. They will never say “I know this” because they can’t ask the people themselves and see if they were correct. So all archaeologists will be tentative in their description of life in the past. Notice how the archaeologist in this talk always use “suggest” or “we think” or “it seems”. Watch out for other examples.
Step 6 仔细阅读文章第2,3两部分，完成下列表格。 Object What can be discovered from it?
needle
descriptions 1. They repaired or made clothes.
2. They didn’t have material like we have today.
3. Tools have been found to cut and clean animal skins.
conclusion So early people probably wore animal skins. necklace descriptions 1. They cared about their appearance.
2. Some of the beads were made of animal bones.
conclusion So early people killed, cu up and most probably ate animals. descriptions Some of the beads were made of fish bones.
conclusion So early people caught and probably ate fish in the nearby lake.
(As shown by botanical analyses)
descriptions Some of the beads were made of seashells.
conclusion So early people many have travelled to the sea or traded with people who
had seashells.
Notes: As the botanical analyses have shown us….. Scientific analyses are often used to find the kind of environment in which early people lived. The area around the Zhoukoudian caves shows that there was a large lake which contained fish. We know this from the kind of shells and remains of water creatures that are found in the area surrounding Zhoukoudian. So the archaeologists assume that early people caught and ate the fish as they did in the story later in the unit. Our evidence suggests that…. It seems that…
此题为上题表格处的一个超级链接，链接设置在第一空单词 clothes 上。 What’s the correct order about how early people made clothes? a. Remove the fat and meat from the skin. b. Cut up the animals. c. Rub salt inside the skin. d. Remove the skin.
e. Sew the pieces together. Answer: b-d-a-c-e
Step 7 讨论文章的写作风格。Discussion of the writing style. S1: How could they live here? S2: How did they keep warm?
S3: What wild animals were there all that time ago?
A: What do you think this tells us about the life of these early people? A: What do you think it might have been used for? S2：Do you mean that they made their own clothes? Where did they get the material? A: Can you guess what they used? S1: Did they make clothes entirely of animal skins? How did they prepare them? A: What do you think it’s made of? A: Can you identify any other bones? A: Why don’t we go and visit the caves?
Notes: This reading is written in the form of questions and answers. It is similar to an interview except that
the archaeologist is behaving more like a teacher guiding the students’ learning. The questions develop from the replies that the archaeologist made to a previous question. It is different from other styles of writing.
Step 8 Work in groups and continue to make the story complete.
Let’s see what is going to happen in the caves. While making the story, try to apply the questioning techniques and some figurative language that archaeologists use.
