Step1: Present some pictures to learn the new words and lead to the new grammar：attributive clause. T: Hi, class! Have you heard of the legend of Chang’e? T: What can we learn from this legend? T: Right! Look at this picture, who is he? T: Yes. He is our national hero who/that traveled around the earth.(write down the sentence on the Bb) T: What’s the name of this spaceship? Do you know? T: Wonderful! The dream of ancient Chinese people came true! It’s a spaceship which/that was launched as China’s first lunar probe (write down the sentence on the Bb). Step 2: Let the Ss study the sentences with attributive clause on the Bb and teach attributive clause. T: Look at the sentences on the Bb. Have you seen this kind of sentences before? T: Do you remember what they are called? T: Yes. They are attributive clauses. “who/ that/which” are called relative pronouns. The nouns before them, such as “hero, spaceship” are called antecedents. T: Good! You are wonderful today! Step 3: Let the Ss read the expressions in 1b. T: Now, read the words and expressions in 1b. Try to keep them in your mind. T: Can you guess what “space walk” means? T: You are right. |
Learn the new words and the new grammar: attributive clause. Ss: Yes. 嫦娥奔月。 S1:说明在古时候，人们就梦想能到月亮上去。 S2: He is Yang Liwei. S2: Chang’e Ⅰ. Study the sentences with attributive clause on the Bb to learn attributive clause. Ss: Yes. Ss: 定语从句。 Read the expressions in 1b. S1: 太空行走。 |
老师要利用图片讲解部分新词并引入定语从句。如：在介绍杨利伟时，就要在黑板上板书“He is our national hero who/that traveled around the earth.”，并用彩色笔来凸显关系代词“that/who”，让学生初步理解1a中出现的定语从句，从而降低听力理解的难度。 老师可以把 “attributive clause : 定语从句, antecedent：先行词，relative pronoun：关系代词”板书出来，并领读几遍，保证学生能听懂。因为在以后的教学中要经常用到这些术语。 |

Finishing Task 2 (5mins) |

Let the Ss study the examples in 2 to learn how to make up an attributive clause. T: Now, turn to page 98, see how to make up an attributive clause and try to complete the rest. When you finish, put up your hand. T: xxx, Can you try No.2? T: Yes, you made it. No.3? T: Now, compare the two sentences. In No.2, we use “who/that” as antecedents; but in No.3, we use “which/that” as antecedents. Why? T: Amazing! Can you find out the rules how to choose relative pronouns? T: Excellent! |
Study the examples in 2 to learn how to make up an attributive clause and complete the rest. S1: Wang Yaping is a woman astronaut who/that gave us a lesson in Shenzhou X spaceship. S2: Shenzhou X is a spaceship which/that was launched with three astronauts in 2013. S3:因为他们的先行词不一样。astronaut指人，而spaceship指物。 S4: 当先行词指人时，关系代词用“who/that”；当先行词指物时，关系代词用“which/that”。 |
如果学生能找到合适的关系代词，老师要把它写出来，并让学生齐读。 对于罗马字母Ⅹ，学生可能不懂，老师要说明一下。 |
