二、教学设计 ( Teaching Designs )
教学内容教学实施建议教学资源参考
1 Reading作为课文的引入教 师可事先让学生通过网络、图书馆等资源收集关于袁隆平的材料。教师可利用“头脑风暴”教学手段结合小组合作方式让学生列出关于袁隆平的尽可能多的事迹。既加深了学生对科学家本身的了解又可引出一些科学术语。
在此基础上阅读并讲解课文使学生有更全面深入的了解。
[链接1]头脑风暴法的操作建议网络资源
2 Listening作为教 材第99页的听力部分，可让学生了解Benjamin Franklin的生活和成长经历。同时建议教师可利用上海外语教育出版社的《英语（新世纪版）听力》，开展相关主题的听力活动作为对教材的补充。课文99页listening practice部分
3 Speaking以“杰出的成就”为主题设计口语活动。
活动一：根据图片谈论世界上重大的科技发明。
活动二：小组讨论：成功人士应具备的素质。
活动三：设计一张我最崇拜的科学家的海报，并在全班进行交流。
活动四：Guess work――Guess who it is?
[链接2]口语活动的一些具体教学建议课文91页Picture talk部分; 课文101页Further practice部分
4 Writing以“现代科技让我们的生活更加美好”为题写一篇文章，用到persuasive paragraph.课文102页Writing部分
5 Structure倒装句是本课的语法教学内容，教师可通过“句型操练”和“习题巩固”两个层次循序渐进使枯燥的语法讲解与学生的实际应用相结合。

说明：
“头脑风暴”是提供学生积极思维的好机会。这一环节的运用既能发挥学生的积极主动性，又能使学生在小组活动中互帮互助。以小组活动方式呈现合作结果，让全体学生都对有关“科学家生平成就”的词汇加以回顾与复习，对新的词汇加以补充与学习。
1． 教师在黑板上展示如图的图表；
2.全班分为四组，每组确定一个记录者，时间控制在三分钟。
3. 在“头脑风暴”过程中，记录者记录组内成员能想到的所有相关词汇。
4.最后请记录者汇报罗列词汇的总数。
5.教师补充一些学生未提及的新词汇。

说明：
这一部分旨在从多个方面锻炼学生的口语，使学生有机会说，愿意说，大胆表露他们的想法。活动设计多从贴近生活的原则出发，结合课本知识，尽可能给学生留下广阔的发挥空间。在口语练习过程中，教师应该鼓励学生，启发学生用英语表达。

活动二：
教师罗列学生所搜集的词汇：determination, diligence, devotion, perseverance, creativity, hard work, courage, wisdom, inspiration, fortune, calmness…
活动三：
说明：选取我最崇拜的科学家，参照[链接一]完成海报设计，并做presentation.
活动四：
说明：让学生根据老师提供的信息猜测这是哪一位科学家，并鼓励学生做适当的补充。
1．He was known as the wizard. He invented more than a thousand devices in his lifetime. Many were important in the creation of the electrical systems we use today. The best known of his inventions is the electric light bulb. In addition to being a great inventor, he was also a clever business man.（Thomas Edison）
2．She was very successful as a scientist of physics. She was the discoverer of polonium and radium, for which she became the first scientist to receive 2 Nobel Prizes. However, what struck us most was not her great achievements but her courage and determination. (Madame Curie)
3．He was born in the town of Pisa in Italy in the year 1564. He was a very clever man and was interested in the study of the stars. He was not liked by some of the scientists in those days because he sometimes proved them wrong .they believed, for example, that a heavy object fell faster than a light one .But he went up to the top of a tower and from there he dropped 2 objects, a light one and a heavy one at the same time. They hit the ground tighter. So he proved those scientists to be wrong. (Galileo)
4．In the early 20th century a Scottish scientist discovered “magic bullets” that would destroy only the bacteria which damaged healthy cells and leave the rest of the body cells alone. This magic bullet was antibiotic-called penicillin which changed medical science forever. (Alexander Fleming)
5．He was born in England in1809. He wasn’t the best student in his school, but when he was 16, his father sent him to medical school. He liked spending time outdoors observing nature more than attending medical classes. He dropped out without graduating. Later his father sent him to school to become a minister. This time he made it to graduation, but he didn’t want to do the work of a minister. After that he was invited to sail to South America and then around the world. The crew’s mission was to make maps of the places they visited. But he collected lots of plants animals to take back of study during this time. More than 20 years after his trip, he published an important scientific paper on how some animals have adaptations that help them survive. (Darwin)
6．He was an American scientist. He was born in Scotland. As a child he showed much interest in the world around him and liked to ask questions. He was so talented that he was admitted to Edinburgh University when he was only sixteen. During his life, he made more than 30 great inventions; the telephone which is so widely used today was just one of them. (Bell)
7．About 250 B.C., he had to solve a problem for the king. To solve the problem, he had to find the volume of the king’s crown. Because the crown had an irregular shape, he couldn’t make the measurement. Then one day he noticed that when he got into the tub, the water level in the tub rose. His body displaced, or pushed away water in the tub. He realized how to find the volume of the crown. He could put it into a container of water and measure how much water it displaced. Then he solved the problem for the king. (Aristotle)
