Step1: Let the Ss read the passage, and find the compound sentences and other difficult points. T: You have learned the main content of the passage. Next, we’ll solve the difficult points. Now, read the passage again, and find the difficult points as well as compound sentences. If you finish, put up your hand. T: First, let’s check the compound sentences. xxx, have you found some yet? T: Well done! Who has any questions? T: … T: … T: Attention please! In English, we can’t use “though/ even though” and “but” at the same time. So you can’t see the word “but” in “Even though tree planting is very difficult, they love their work”. Besides, sometimes we use “while” to make up an adverbial clause of time. For example, the sentence “There are often…and faces while they work.” Step2: Let the Ss discuss Q4 and Q5. T: We haven’t finished the questions on page 50. Now, discuss Q4 and 5, and then make a report. T: Group 1, what are your ideas about Q4? T: What you said is absolutely right. Then, would you like to be a tree planter when you grow up? T: That sounds wonderful. |
Read the passage, and find the compound sentences and other difficult points. S1: Yes. The weather may be very hot and dry or it may be very cold and wet. S2: They carry heavy bags of small trees, and working in the mountains can be dangerous. S3: What does “were cut down” in Para1 mean? S4: How to understand the word“that”in the sentence“There are often many insects that…they work”? Discuss Q4 and Q5. S1: If we don’t plant new trees, the forests will become smaller and smaller. Without trees, the wind and the water will take the earth away, and the oxygen in the air will become less and less. S2:If we don’t plant new trees,… S3: Maybe, it’s hard to say. I think the companies and government should do something. Because, I have no time and I have to work to make money. I think on Tree-Planting Day, everyone should stop working and go to plant trees in the mountains. S4: … |
对于文章中的过去时的被动语态和定语从句，只要学生理解意思即可，不要讲太多。老师也可以用汉语解释更节约时间。 老师要提醒学生though, even though 与but 不能同时连用。也要讲一下，当“while”表示“当…..的时候”连接的是时间状语从句，不是并列句。 |
