从容说课

This is the fifth teaching period of this unit. The teacher should first check the students’　

homework and offer chances for the students to go over what they learned in the last period at the

beginning of the class.

In this period, the teaching emphasis will be put on developing the students’ reading ab by reading extensively and getting them learning to use some reading strategies such as skimming,

scanning. As to new words and phrases, the teacher can first find those the students feel most

difficult and help them to understand. Some important points should be explained and practiced.

We will deal with two reading passages. The first one is the second part of JOURNEY

DOWN THE MEKONG:A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS. Part of the purpose of this entry is to

reach students in the affective domain. It tells us what Wang Wei and Wang Kun saw, heard and

did, also how they felt in Tibet. In order to lead in the topic of this part, the teacher can first show

the students a picture about the Tibetan mountains and ask some questions about Tibet. Then ask

the students to fill in the chart designed according to this part by skimming and to locate particular

information by scanning. While checking their answers with the whole class, deal with any

language problems the students can’t work out by themselves. Later on, ask the students to listen

to the tape, mark the rising and falling tone of each sense group and sentence and practice reading

aloud. The second passage is still part of the travel journal that makes up the whole of this unit.

Actually it is about the end of the journey. So this reading assumes information from other parts of

the unit. The cyclists began their journey in Qinghai province and passed through Tibet, Laos,

Cambodia and Vietnam. Then there is the exercise which requires the students to use information

not only from this reading passage but also from other parts of the journal. So encourage them to

discuss the topics in the chart and look elsewhere in the unit for the answers.

reading During the course of reading teaching, the teacher can not only develop students’　

ability, but also get the students to learn about common knowledge about Tibet, Laos, Cambodia

and Vietnam.

To consolidate the contents of the reading passages, the students should be required to retell

the two parts. In order to arouse the students’ interest, the teacher can hold a competition between groups.

活动与探究

Go to your school library or surf in the Internet to collect information about Tibet in order to make preparations for your travel journey.

Sample passage:

Tibet lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the southwest border of China. The average height

of the whole region is more than 4000 meters above sea level, for which Tibet is known as

of the World”. The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas

and in the whole world, is Everest Peak, which is as high as 8846. 27 meters above sea level.

Although it is a part of China, Tibet has a unique culture of all its own. It is mainly inhabited

by Tibetans, a minority nationality of old and mysterious people. Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of Buddhist sacred places.

Tibet is to the south of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province, to the

west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and to the north of India and Nepal. Its population of 2. 3 million people come from a variety of ethnic groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota. Its capital city is Lhasa.

Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual and unique animals. Across the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands where horses, yaks and

-tzanpo River Valley lies in east sheep roam freely. The world’s lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun

Tibet.

It is freezing cold in most time of the year. Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons, June, July, August and early September.
