單　　元：Unit 4 Films and film events

板　　塊：Reading 1

Thoughts on the design:

本節課是本單元的第二課時，是以讀為主的閱讀教學課。閱讀教學應當著重培養學生獲取和處理主要信息的能力，理解文章主旨和作者意圖，通過上下文的線索進行推理，所以，設計了由淺入深多項閱讀理解題；同時，本單元要求培養學生形成良好的辨認客觀觀點的閱讀策略，所以在題目中也有所體現。

Teaching aims:

1. After learning the reading material Important Film Events around the World, the students will be able to identify a transcript of a television show;

2. After reading, Ss will be able to describe different film festivals around the world;

3. After learning the reading strategy, Ss will be able to identify objective views;

4. After reading the passage, Ss will be interested in searching for more knowledge about films.

Teaching procedures:

Step 1 Lead-in (PPT 5-11)

Check the homework. (Ask Ss to surf the Internet or refer to some relevant books to find background information about film events around the world and their favorite directors or films.)

(PPT5) Can you name some famous film festivals held around the world? Where are they held?

(PPT6) The Cannes Film Festival is in France. (PPT7) The Berlin International Film Festival is in Germany. (PPT8) The Venice Film Festival is in Italy. (PPT9) The Toronto International Film Festival is in Canada. (PPT10) The Tokyo International Film Festival is in Japan. (PPT11) The Shanghai International Film Festival is in China.

[Explanation]

因為課前布置學生上網或查資料，了解全球重要的電影節，所以學生可以說出一些，準備的相應的幻燈片是為幫助學生產生更形象具體的映像。

Step 2 Fast Reading (PPT12）:

How many film festival representatives appeared on the show?

(Six.)

At which festival are you not likely to find Hollywood films?

(The Sundance Film Festival.)

[Explanation]

利用課本資源，讓學生回答第50頁A的1、3兩個問題，訓練學生快速獲取信息的能力；第二個問題因在導入部分已經解決了，所以此處不重復處理。

[Explanation]

為培養學生細節信息的查找和辨識能力，設置7個對錯題；同時利用課本資源，回答課本第52頁C1的五道細節理解題，老師最好要求學生說出答案在文中的位置；C2的題稍作修改，添加了一個代表人物，這樣，同學們填好表格就可以就每一電影節的信息進行口頭簡述的訓練。另外，為配合試卷閱讀題型，又根據文章設置了6道選擇題，培養學生了解細節、推理等閱讀題的能力。
