1、The Fourth Period从容说课This period lays emphasis on grammar,that is,the Attributive Clause,which is also the difficult point in Senior English.First, revise what the students have learnt in the last period by filling in the blanks in a passage and translating some sentences from Chinese into English.I
2、n this unit the students should learn to use the Relative Pronouns such as that,which,who,whom and whose to introduce an Attributive Clause.First,the teacher presents one sentence containing an Attributive Clause,which was taken from the reading passage.Teacher tries to analyze the sentence and let
3、the students have a general idea about what is an Attributive Clause.Then the students are asked to find all the sentences that contain an Attributive Clause in the Reading passage.Next the teacher will explain the difference between these relative pronouns and also show some typical examples.After
4、that,the students will choose the right relative pronouns to complete some sentences.In order to consolidate the grammar,the students will do some oral practice.In this practice,the students will tell each other their own unusual experiences.Then each group will choose one representative to report t
5、o the whole class.The students should not only learn about the grammar,but also learn how to use them,which is much more important.Also this part can help the students to communicate with each other using the language that they have learned,and this is the real purpose of learning languages.三维目标1.Kn

8、ass as usual.Step 2 RevisionT:In the last period, we learned the usage of some difficult words and expressions.Now lets check your homework exercises.Look at Part 1 in Using Words and Expressions on Page 63.Describe an earthquake using the vocabulary in this unit.Then choose the words and expression
9、s from the box to complete the passage.Change the form if necessary.(One student reads the short passage.The teacher corrects any mistakes if there are any.)T:Then lets come to the next part.Translate the sentences into English using the words and expressions in the brackets.I will ask some of you t
10、o read the sentences.S1:The evening before last,she was too nervous to eat anything.S2:When people found there was a second quake,they rushed out of their houses right away.S3:After that terrible disaster,60 percent of the homeless children were sent to other safe cities to live.S4:To the north of t
11、he factory,a little girl was dug out of the ruins.S5:We are proud of the soldiers,who rescued those boys from the race.S6:We should honor those who organized the rescue work.T:You did a quite good job.Step 3 Grammar(The teacher writes the sentence “Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes ha
12、d been destroyed.” on the blackboard before class begins.)T:Please look at the sentence on the blackboard,paying special attention to the underlined part.What kind of clause is it?Ss: The Attributive Clause.T:Yes.You are right.The Attributive Clause tells us which person or thing (or what kind of pe
13、rson or thing) the speaker means.e.g.The woman who lives next door is a teacher.A sentence with an attributive clause is a combination of two shorter sentences.In the sentence above,the two short sentences are: “The woman is a teacher.” and “The woman lives next door.” The Attributive Clause is the
14、answer to the question:Which woman is a teacher?Would you try to divide the sample sentence on the blackboard into two short sentences?S1:Workers built shelters for survivors.The survivors homes had been destroyed.T:Thats right.Now try to find all the sentences with Attributive Clauses in the Readin
15、g passage.(After several minutes.)S2:But the one million people of the city,who thought little of these events,went to bed as usual that night.S3:It was heard in Beijing,which is one hundred kilometers away.S4:A huge crack that was eight kilometers long and thirty meters wide cut across houses,roads
16、 and canals.S5:The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400000.S6:The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead.T:Very good.Then which part of the Attributive Clause,do you think,is the most difficult one?S7:The relative pronouns.T:You have
17、noticed that many exercises about the Attributive Clause are designed for the students to choose a better relative pronoun.So next I will say something about the common relative pronouns.“Who” is used for people.e.g.The man has been caught.He did the robbery.The man who did the robbery has been caug
18、ht.“Which” is used for things.e.g.The chair was a broken one.I sat in the chair.The chair which I sat in was a broken one.“That” is used for things or people.e.g.A plane is a machine.It can fly.A plane is a machine that can fly.Here is the boy.He damaged the vase.Here is the boy that damaged the vas
19、e.“Whose” is used instead of his/her/their.e.g.She is the girl.Her English is the best in our class.She is the girl whose English is the best in our class.“Whom” is quite formal,and in most cases it is all right to use who instead.But when whom has a preposition before it,it cannot be replaced by wh
20、o.e.g.(1)I wanted to see the woman.She had already left.The woman whom/who I wanted to see had already left.(2)The workers,some of whom stayed here for four years, come from different countries.T:Now look at Part 2 in Discovering Useful Structures on Page 28.Try to complete each sentence using that,
21、which ,who ,or whose.(After several minutes.)S8:The terrible shaking of the building woke up all the people who were asleep.T:Oh ,attention ,please.In this sentence we cant use “whom”,because “whom” cant act as a subject in the Attributive Clause.S9:So you mean “who” can act as a subject,while “whom
22、” can act as an object in an Attributive Clause.T:Yes.And “who” can also act as an object in the Attributive Clause.Now,lets come to the next sentence.S10:The next day people put up shelters in the open air with all kinds of things that/which they could find.S11:Several days later most of the buildi
23、ngs that had been damaged were repaired.S12:We went to see our teacher whose husband was killed in the earthquake.S13:A number of children whose parents had died in the quake were sent to live with families in other cities.T:You did a quite good job.Step 4 ConsolidationT:Now we are going to practice
24、 using the Attributive Clause.Think about an unusual experience and how you felt.Work in groups.Take turns asking questions,using “Was it something that?” or “Was there someone who?” Take notes about the experiences of your group members and report back to the class.(Ss work in groups.Meanwhile the
25、teacher goes around the class and helps Ss deal with any difficulties that they may have.)(After several minutes.)T:Each group should choose one representative to make a report to the whole class.S1:Was it something that frightened you?S2:Yes,I was really frightened and felt terribly painful.S3:Was
26、there someone who came to help you?S4:Yes.Some passers-by came to help me and they sent me to the nearest hospital.S5:While riding a bike back home,Xiao Ming was hit by a car.He fell down from the bike onto the ground.He felt terribly painful.Some passers-by came to help him and sent him to hospital
27、.After examination,the doctors found his left leg was broken.T:Excellent.Step 5 HomeworkT:After class,read the passage on Page 64.Its about advice on how to protect your home from an earthquake.Complete the sentences below,using who,whom,which ,that or whose.
