1、 Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors第一部分金色教案教學設計說明About the topic and the structures單元話題和結構本單元的主題是考古學,涉及到歷史和人類學；語文知識和語言技能都是圍繞這一主題設計的。具體涉及“周口店遺址的北京猿人”、“早期人類生活方式”、“如何判斷遺址年份”、“秦始皇兵馬俑”、“埃及金字塔”等，幫助學生增長考古學知識，更好地了解早期人類的生活方式和人類文明的發(fā)展進程。本單元語言功能項目是：“存在”和“非存在”“度量”“特點”。本單元語言結構項目是“復習動詞時態(tài)”。本單元還要求學生學習寫作“描寫文：考古發(fā)現(xiàn)”。金色教案教學設

2、計在單元課時劃分上與課本保持一致，即“閱讀課、知識課、運用課三課時/三課型劃分”。但在實際教學過程中，建議教師依據(jù)學生基礎、教學條件、學校安排的因素，對課本、對金色教案教學設計重新劃分課時，裁剪、拼接使用提供的材料，以便“物盡所用”，達到最佳教學效果。教師也可以參照金色教案提供的“實際教學過程課時劃分建議”進行教學。Period 1Reading 閱讀課Warming Up 課本在此階段以四張古文物照片導入新課，通過讓學生鑒別照片中的物品、討論物品的原材料及其用途，來激發(fā)學生了解古物的興趣。Pre-reading 課本呈現(xiàn)了北京猿人的頭蓋骨圖片，通過談論我們今天使用的生活用品及生活方式，猜測幾

Warming up by talking about ancestorsAn ancestor is a parent or (recursively) the parent of an ancestor. So this includes a father or mother

16、, as well as grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on, although the correct female form of the word is "ancestrix", pl: "ancestrixes" or "ancestrices". Two individuals have a genetic relationship if one is the ancestor of the other or if they share a common ancestor;

17、 in a curious use of language in evolutionary theory, this is called common descent. (Strictly speaking this may not be true for some bacteria and similar organisms which are capable of direct horizontal gene transfer.) Some societies have had a form of ancestor worship; most modern societies seem t

Pre-reading by getting to know what archaeology or archeology isArchaeology or archeology is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains and environmental data, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, hum

19、an remains, and landscapes. The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, understand culture history, chronicle cultural evolution, and study human behaviour and ecology, for both prehistoric and historic societies.3. Reading for forms of language

20、At your first reading of the text it is usually best not to stop and consult your dictionary. This will interrupt your process of reading and understanding. Often the meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases becomes clear as you continue to read through the text. The dictionary can be used at a later

21、 stage. Read the text to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions. 4. Finding collocations and making sentencesWhy do we learn collocations? Your language will be more natural and more easily understood. You will

22、have alternative and richer ways of expressing yourself. It is easier for our brains to remember and use language in chunks or blocks rather than as single words.Now read the text and find the collocations.Collocations from A VISIT TO THE ZHOUKOUDIAN CAVEScome tofor a visit 來參觀，showaround 帶領參觀，a gre

31、ESMAIN IDEAS OF THE DIALOGUE: A group of students from England has come to the Zhoukoudian Caves for a visit. An archaeologist is showing them around.

34、urneys.7 Write as they do. (仿寫)Now you are to write a passage of your own based on the text you leaned on page 38 just now. A VISIT TO PINGYAOA group of students/ from Japan/ has come to Pingyao/ for a visit. A tourist guide is showing them around. A: Welcome to Pingyao/ here/ in Shanxi, China. It i

35、s a great pleasure/ to meet you, students/ from Japan/ who are interested in the ancient Shanxi businessmen. You must be aware that/ it's here/ that weve found evidence of some of the earliest people/ who started banks/ in this country of China. We have been studying the ancient Shanxi business/

36、 here/ for many years andS1: I'm sorry/ to interrupt you/ but how could they start banks here? There are only farms and coal mines here.A: We have found bank houses and money caves/ in the city streets/ as well as account books/ and abacuses. So/ we think/ it is reasonable/ to assume/ banks in C

37、hina were started in these streets here.S2：How did they keep money? It must have been very difficult.A: We have discovered caves/ in the centre of the courtyards/ where they dug caves. These caves would have kept gold and silver safe, held the coins/ and scared robbers away/ as well. We have been ex

38、cavating layers of coins almost/ two meters thick, which suggests that/ the Pingyao businesses men or bankers might have kept the money in the caves/ all years. We haven't yet found any doors, but/ we think/ they might have placed stones/ at the cave mouth/ to keep out the robbers and thieves.S3

39、: What robbers and thieves were there/ all that time ago?A: Well, we have been finding the bones of robbers and thieves/ and tools used by them/ in the caves/ and we think/ these robbers and thieves were the banks most dangerous enemies. Now/ what do you think/ this tells us/ about the life of these

40、 early bankers? (shows a picture of the ancient Chinese coins)S2: That is an old coin. Goodness, does that mean/ they made coins?A: What else do you think/ they might have made?S4: Let me look at it. The diameter of the coin is about 2 meters. Ah yes, it seems to have been made of bronze. I wonder h

41、ow they made the hole/ for the thread.S2: (interrupting) Do you mean to say/ they made their own coins? Where did they get the material?A: They didn't have material/ like we have/ today. Can you guess what they used?S1: Wow！Did they used coins/ made entirely of bronze? What technique did they us

42、e/ to make? Bronze would be so difficult to shape/ and melt.A: Our evidence suggests/ they did indeed use bank checks/ made from paper. We continue discovering tools/ that helped them cut/ and clean the paper. It seems that they might have used sharpened iron tools/ to cut up the paper/ and print th

43、e checks. Then/ smaller printers might have been used/ to print the pictures/ and numbers. After that/ they would have had to rub an ample amount of salt inside the paper/ to make it hard enough. Finally, they would have cut it/ and sewn the pieces together. Now look at this. (shows a bank check)S2:

44、 Why, it's a primitive bank check. Did early people really use bank checks/ like we do? It's surprising！A: Yes/ and/ so well preserved. What do you think/ it's made of?S4: Let me feel it. Oh, I think/ some of them are made of animal skins/ but some are made of paper?A: How clever/ you ar

45、e！One check is actually made from an animal skin/ and the coins are made of gold. Can you identify any other coins?S1: This one looks very like a iron coin. Is that reasonable?A: Yes indeed, as the lab analyses have been specifically showing us, all the coins on this desk/ here/ used to be used for businesses. Undoubtedly/ there were worn and broken.S3: But/ a coin is not the bank. We are miles/ from the bank, so how did the coins get around in the country?A: Perhaps there was trade/ between early peoples/ or they travelled t
