Teaching Procedures
| Tips
| Step 1 Warming up
| 导入部分先给学生听声音，让他们猜测这是什么声音，有可能正在发生什么事情（用情态动词表推测），然后过渡到有时候生活种我们会听到一些奇怪的声音，当听到奇怪的声音时你会有什么感觉。
| Step 1: Divide Ss into several groups. Play the recording of the sound one by one.
Step 2: Ask each group to discuss what the sounds are and what might be happening. Encourage Ss to give different answers.
（sound 1: the sound of sawing wood, sound 2: the sound of playing ping-pong, sound 3: the sound of braking, sound 4: the sound of playing basketball / volleyball …）
- Ask Ss to think about: How do you feel when you hear a strange sound?
(Suggested answers: nervous, worried, scared, uneasy, curious, excited …)
| | Step 2Presentation & Reading
| | Pre-reading
- Show the picture of this article to Ss and ask them to think about the following questions (answers can be varied):
- What is the woman looking at?
- How might the woman feel?
Then, ask Ss to read the article and think about: What’s happening in the town.
While-reading
3a
- Ask Ss to read the article and decide which might be the best title.
Answers: Strange Happenings in My Town
While-reading
3b
- Ask Ss to write down the words as many as they can based on the meanings. After all of them have finished, T can ask them to check their answers by reading the article again.
(Tip: The goal of this exercise isn’t to get all the answers correct but to try to deduce the word from its meaning. This will also ensure that Ss truly understand the meaning of the words. So, give Ss a few minutes to fill in the answers before allowing them to read the article again.)
- Show the table on PPT P14 to Ss, ask them to find out the person who gives opinion in each paragraph.
Post-reading
3c
- Ask Ss to read the article carefully and write what people think about the strange noises.
(Tip: For stronger classes, T can ask Ss to fill in the answers without looking at the passage and only based on what they can remember from the first reading. Tell Ss that it is all right if they can’t remember a lot. Next, get Ss to share their answers with a partner to see how much each one remembers. Then, get Ss re-read the passage and go through the questions again.)
Answers:
Divide Ss into several groups and ask them to discuss the following questions:
- After reading the article, what do you think the strange noises are? Who is the noise-maker?
- Have you ever heard any strange noise (or encountered any strange things) before? What was it?
| | Step 3Language points learning
| | nothing / not much的意思是“没什么; 不多; 不怎么样”，一般用于否定句中，表示并不那么重要、有趣、好等。
unusual adj. 意为“特别的；不寻常的”，由否定前缀“un-”加形容词usual构成。否定前缀un-表示“不”。当其后加adj.时，构成原词的反义词。
noise n. 意为“声音；噪音”，其形容词形式为noisy,意为“吵闹的”，常用短语有make noise“制造噪音”。
noise, voice和sound的区别为：
noise多指不悦耳的吵闹声、嘈杂声。
sound泛指各种声音，不带有任何感情色彩。
voice多指人说话、唱歌的声音，即人的嗓音。
There must be sb. / sth. doing sth. 的意思是“一定有某人 / 某物在做某事”。情态动词must和there be句型的连用，表示肯定推测。其中sb.和do之间是主动关系，用v-ing形式。
| | Step 4 Summary & Homework
| | Summary
- Ask Ss to do the exercise on PPT P23.
Homework:
- Preview the grammar points in U8.
- Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| In this period, we should practice making inferences with must, might, could and can’t in reading and the situation. Students must finish every activity by their own reading. The teacher should let the students feel how to use these modal verbs instead of teaching and explaining.
