教材分析與教材重組教材分析本單元以thepowerofnature為話題，旨在通過單元教學(xué)使學(xué)生了解火山爆發(fā)、地震、臺風(fēng)、洪水等自然現(xiàn)象，認識到自然的偉大力量，并會用所學(xué)詞匯描述在經(jīng)歷自然災(zāi)害時的感受，思考人類應(yīng)對自然災(zāi)害的態(tài)度和方法，提高自我保護意識。

warmingup通過對火山爆發(fā)示意圖的討論激活學(xué)生了解與本單元話題相關(guān)的背景知識，而后通過討論人類應(yīng)對自然災(zāi)害的措施引發(fā)學(xué)生對本單元話題的思考，激發(fā)學(xué)生的求知欲，為隨后進行的聽、說、讀、寫打下基礎(chǔ)。

pre-reading通過回答問題測試自己是否適合作火山學(xué)家，讓學(xué)生了解這一陌生職業(yè)，為閱讀做好準備。

reading部分一位火山學(xué)家以第一人稱的形式講述了自己的工作及第一次目睹火山爆發(fā)時的情景和心情，描寫了人與自然的斗爭與和諧相處的樂趣，使學(xué)生認識到火山是美麗的，但同時極具破壞力，而火山學(xué)家的工作可以減少由火山引發(fā)的損失。

comprehending設(shè)計了兩種題型：第一題要求學(xué)生在閱讀后回答相關(guān)問題；第二題檢測學(xué)生對文章細節(jié)的理解。

learningaboutlanguage分為詞匯和語法兩部分。詞匯部分著重從詞的意義用法和表達方面對學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)詞匯給予指導(dǎo)；語法部分學(xué)習(xí)ing形式在句子中作狀語表示時間、原因及結(jié)果。usinglanguage以語言實踐為目的，包括四個部分的內(nèi)容。listeningandspeaking三位火山學(xué)家講述了他們各自最驚險的一次經(jīng)歷。學(xué)生在練習(xí)聽力的同時學(xué)會描述害怕和緊張的詞匯。speaking是listening的延續(xù)。要求學(xué)生講述自己類似的經(jīng)歷，同時在運用中鞏固單詞。reading介紹了旅游勝地thelakeofheaven,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生快速獲取信息的能力。writing與reading屬于同一話題，要求根據(jù)所給信息寫一篇介紹hotsprings的作文。summingup與learningtip有助于學(xué)生自我檢測，便于及時復(fù)習(xí)。通過學(xué)習(xí)同根詞、同類詞，告訴學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)中要勤于總結(jié)。workbook圍繞中心內(nèi)容從聽、說、讀、寫四個方面對其做進一步的補充和深化。2.

教材重組將warmingup,pre-reading,reading及comprehending組合在一起，上一節(jié)閱讀課。將learningaboutlanguage，learningtip與workbook中的usingwordsandexpressions,usingstructures整合在一起，上一節(jié)語法課。將usinglanguage中的listening與speaking設(shè)計為一節(jié)聽說課。將usinglanguage中的reading與writing設(shè)計為一節(jié)寫作課。將workbook中的talking,listening,speakingtask,writingtask組合起來，上一節(jié)綜合實踐課（1）。將workbook中的readingtask,listeningtask與project設(shè)計為一節(jié)綜合實踐課（2）。3.
