Then comes listening and reading aloud，reading and underlining，reading to identify the topic sentence of each paragraph，reading and transferring information，reading and understanding difficult sentences. The period ends in students having a discussion. Objectives To help students understand the text’s forms and contents and learn about theme parks To help students communicate on the topic in focus with the words, expressions and structures learned in this unit Focus Words preserve，advance Expressions be famous for，no wonder， in advance， come to life Patterns 1. Parks provide people with a place to amuse themselves and to escape their busy lives for a while. 2. In these parks, people sit chatting, play games, listen to birds’ singing, or just relax a bit. 3(They are more than amusement parks with rides, such as a Ferris wheel, merry-go-around or a roller coaster. 4. Others show us how special groups of people dress today, what they eat and what their homes look like. Other theme parks include marine or ocean parks, where visitors can see and swim with dolphins and learn about ocean life. You could, if you like, go with famous divers to the bottom of the ocean and see mysterious, blind creatures that have never seen the sunlight. Aids Multimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagrams Procedures 1. Warming up 用原版 Warming up by discussing Good morning, class. Today we are going to visit theme parks. What do you think a theme park is? With a classmate discuss what you might do in a theme park. For reference: A large Christmas party is being prepared at our Theme park. Visitors will find a dancing carnival, a European wedding, military band performances, classical Christmas plays and Christmas parades in the theme park. The 108-meter-tall Eiffel Tower will be lit up during the holidays with four types of lights. Warming up by watching and listening Hi, every one. Today we are going to visit Theme parks. Look at the screen and listen to me telling you about them. This is the Universal's Islands of Adventure which was opened in 1999, making Universal Orlando the nation's second multi-gate theme park resort (after Walt Disney World). IOA was Universal's first non-studio theme park, and was intended to pay tribute to characters from books, comics, cartoons and legend, rather than movies. Of course, that hasn't stopped Universal and other studios from making films about almost every character represented in IOA over the past few years, rendering the park thematically indistinguishable from its sister, Universal Studios Florida. Warming up by telling experiences As you have all traveled somewhere before I shall ask two of you at random to tell the class about their travel experiences. For reference: Visiting Disney World was a childhood dream of mine, and I was able to realize it last year. It is not a place I could live in, but it definitely has magic. One of the best parts was that I was able to interact with most of the Disney characters, even though their appearance and mannerisms varied from the Disney comic books I read. A few select pictures are included here, but my recommendation if you're taking a kid is to make sure they get some time with the characters. I can't think of anything cooler. 2. Looking and saying Work in pairs. Look at the photos and theme parks and predict the contents of the text. When you are ready, join another pair and compare your predictions and the clues that helped you to make the predictions. For reference: From the photos and title I guess that the text tells about Theme parks where you can joy yourselves and have fun with various activities… 3. Talking and sharing Work in groups of four. Tell your group mates what you know about theme parks. Then the group leader is to stand up and share your group idea with the class. For reference: As you wander down Mainstreet USA in the Magic Kingdom Park of Walt Disney World, you might stop and take a peek in the Mainstreet Theatre. Here, Steamboat Willie shows how it all began depicting the first appearance of Mickey Mouse. At this point people usually stop for a bit, perhaps to rest from the hot Florida summer, laugh at Mickey's antics as he uses various animals as musical instruments (long before Beavis and Butthead were throwing cats in drying machines), and walk away amused and entertained. That was Walt Disney's primary goal. Today, people might consider the first cartoon featuring Mickey as art, along with a host of other creative works produced by people who work at Disney. Notable among them are Carl Barks and Don Rosa, whose works sell in the thousands. However, Walt Disney himself never thought that what he, and his employees, did was art: "I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean." 4. Listening and reading aloud Reading aloud to the recording of the text improves our literacy skills — reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Now please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text THEME PARKS —FUN AND MORE THAN FUN. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence. 5. Reading and underlining A really useful way to help us with our listening is to become aware of 'thought groups' . When we speak, we need to divide speech up into small 'chunks' to help the listener understand messages. These chunks or thought groups are groups of words which go together to express an idea or thought. In English, we use pauses and low pitch to mark the end of thought groups. Next you are to read the text, dividing the text into thought groups and circling all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them into your notebook after school as homework.

Reading and transferring information Read the text again to complete the table. THEME PARKS ——FUN AND MORE THAN FUN What is a park? a place where to amuse oneself and to escape one’s busy lives for a while What is a theme park? parks to provide entertainment Facts about Disneyland the oldest theme park in the world, built near Los Angeles in 1955, named after Walt Disney Facts about marine, ocean, and science where visitors can see and swim with dolphins and theme parks learn about ocean life 8. Reading and understanding difficult sentences As you have read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me. 9. Reading the text once again to make a diagram of the text Which theme park would you like to visit? England’s Camelot Disneyland Dollywood Park 10. Retelling the text in your own words with the help of the diagram A possible version Theme parks provide visitors with lots of things to amuse themselves. People escape their busy life for a while by going to a theme park. They find interesting things to do in the park. They may simply sit chatting, playing games, listening to birds’ singing, relaxing a bit, having picnics and having fun there. It costs some money to be there. In recent decades, theme parks are beginning to provide more entertainment. Visitors may use shuttles to get around and have a variety of things to see and do in the park. Theme parks charge money for every activity they provide. They make a big profit by selling souvenirs, too. Sometimes a theme park gets itself advertised on television. A theme park is indeed a place of fantasy. 11. Closing down by having a discussion Do you like a theme park? Why or why not? For reference: All over the world people seek stimulating experiences to take their mind away from everyday troubles, and the United States is definitely no exception to this rule. Most of its residents have the money and time to entertain themselves as it pleases them — and visiting amusement parks certainly does please them. Unit 5 Theme parks Part 1 Teaching Design 第一部分 教学设计 Period 2 A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language (Word formation) Introduction In this period students will be first helped by the teacher to discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions, and then to discover and learn to understand rules for word formation. The following steps of teaching may be taken: Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions， Learning about Word formation， Ready used materials for Word formation and Closing down by summarizing.. Objectives To learn about word formation To discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions To discover and learn to use some useful structures Procedures Warming up by defining a theme park What is a theme park? Define it in your own words. For reference: How do theme parks differ from ordinary amusement parks? National Amusement Park History Association defines a theme park as “an amusement park in which the rides, attractions, shows and buildings revolve around a central theme or group of themes. Examples include the Disney parks, the Six Flags Parks and the Paramount parks.” An amusement park, according to NAPHA, is “an entertainment facility featuring rides, games, food and sometimes shows.” The World of Coasters’ glossary defines a theme park as "an amusement park which has one or more “themed” areas, with rides and attractions keyed to the theme of their location within the park. Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg are examples of theme parks." Discovering useful words and expressions Go over the text by reading it aloud on page 34 first. Now turn to page 36 and do the exercises first. Check your answers against your classmates’. 3. Learning about Word formation The basic part of any word is the root; to it, you can add a prefix at the beginning and/or a suffix at the end to change the meaning. For example, in the word "unflattering," the root is simply "flatter," while the prefix "un-" makes the word negative, and the suffix "-ing" changes it from a verb into an adjective (specifically, a participle). English itself does not use prefixes as heavily as it once did, but many English words come from Latin, which uses prefixes and suffixes (you can use the word affix to refer either to a prefix or a suffix) quite extensively. For example, the words "prefix," "suffix," and "affix" themselves are all formed from "fix" by the use of prefixes: "ad" (to) + "fix" (attached) = "affix" "pre" (before) + "fix" = "prefix" "sub" (under) + "fix" = "suffix" Note that both the "-d" of "ad" and the "-b" of "sub" change the last letter. Here are some of the most common Latin prefixes (for the meanings of the Latin roots, look up the words in a good dictionary): ab (away) abrupt, absent, absolve ad (to) adverb, advertisement, afflict in (not) incapable, indecisive, intolerable inter (between, among) intercept, interdependent, interprovincial intra (within) intramural, intrapersonal, intraprovincial pre (before) prefabricate, preface prefer post (after) postpone, postscript, postwar sub (under) submarine, subscription, suspect trans (across) transfer, transit, translate 用原版 Affixes Morphemes added to free forms to make other free forms are called affixes. There are four principle kinds of affixes: prefixes (at beginning) — "un-" in "unable" suffixes (at end) — "-ed" in "walked" circum fixes (at both ends) — "en--en" in "enlighten" (These always seem to consist of otherwise attested independent prefixes and suffixes.) Other references: 句式合成词 整个句子当作一个词用，有的已经固定下来，例如pick-me-up(兴奋剂)，what's-his-name(某某人)。整个句子用作形容词的现象比较普遍，把复杂的概念揉成单纯的限制语使行文紧凑。A let-bygones-be-bygones manner(一种“过去的就算了吧”的态度) an if-you-would-only-be-guided-by-me expression(一种“要是你肯听了我的话够多好”的神气) 否定前缀 (1)纯粹表示否定的。a-,an-[GK]能构成少数新词。加在名词、形容词上，表示没有“某种性质“。如:amoral[=unmoral]不道德的,asexual无性别的.a-在元音前变成an-如anonymous [onoma=name]匿名的 dis-[L]加在名词、形容词、动词上，表示否定, 如:disadvantage(劣势)、disagreement(不和)，disbelieve(不相信) (2)表示“错误”的mis- 多作重读，表示“wrongly，badly”。可以适当构造新词: 大多用于动词:to misbehave(行为不当)misunderstand(误解)。 用于作形容词的分词:misbelieving(信仰不当)，misleading(靠不住)。 用于动名词:misdealing(不正当手段)。 偶而，mis-也表示纯粹的否定词义:to mistrust。 (3)表示“反对”。 anti- 表示“反对，反面” ， 如: anti-social(反社会的) antiseptic(防腐剂) anti-militarist(反军国主义者)。 contra- 表示“反对，相反” ， 如: contradiction(矛盾) contrast(对比) contrary(相反的); counter- 表示“against” ， 如: counteract(还手) counterattack(反攻)。 其他前缀 前缀大都表示空间，时间，逻辑上的关系，意思上有引申。 ab- apo- se- 这几个前缀或多或少都有“away ，off”的含义。 ab- a- abs- 在p， m， v之前作a-，在c， t之前作abs-，不能构造新词，表示“away ，apart， absence”，例如:absent， avoid。 se- 表示“separation”(分离)，例如:segregate(隔离)，sedition(反叛)。 ante-，fore- pre- post- pro- 这几个前缀都有“before”的意思。 ante- 表示在...前，例:ante-humous(死前)，ante-room(前厅)。 fore- 表示时间，空间上的“在前面”，例forehead(前额)，foregraound(前景)，foretell(预 言)。 pre- 表示事先，在前，例prehistory(史前)，prepayment(预支)。 post- 表示时间空间上的在后，例:posterity(后代)，post-war(战后)。 pro- 表示“代替，利于，亲于”，例pro-chancellor(代大学校长)，pro-consul(代理领事)。 circum- peri- 这两个前缀跟圆周有关。 circum- 表示圆周，如circumference， circumlocution， circumpolar。 peri- 表示“round”，如perimeter(周长)，perisphere(势力范围)。 4. Closing down by summarizing how to improve your vocabulary We have been learning about word formation this week. We have come to know that effective ways have to be found for improving our vocabulary. Now let’s do a brainstorming to summarize how to improve our vocabulary. Step One Read books, magazines, poems, plays, stories and more. The more language you're exposed to, the more new words you'll learn. Step Two Make it a habit to find a new word every day. Look in the dictionary, sign up for “A Word a Day” (see dictionary.com) or make swapping new words a game with a workmate or fellow student. Step Three Speak to people. You'll be exposed to an amazing range of cultural influences and occupations, all of which will introduce you to new words. Step Four Write down words you don't know. Keep a pad in your briefcase or purse just for that purpose. Step Five Look up the words in a dictionary so you'll understand what they mean, how they're spelled and their various usages. This will also help you remember the words. Step Six Make flashcards of the words and go through them regularly. Step Seven Create or play word games. Scrabble and Mad Libs, for example, are great ways to reinforce new vocabulary words. Unit 5 Theme parks Part 1 Teaching Design 第一部分 教学设计 Period 3 A sample lesson plan for Using Language (FUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENT AND LEARNING) Introduction Language is learned to be used in and for communication. So in this period we shall have the students read, listen, write and speak in English, making use of the focused words, expressions, structures and topic ideas covered in this unit. The period may go by a process of warming up by listening and reading aloud，reading and underlining，doing exercises，acting，doing a project and closing down by filling a form. Objectives EXCITEMENT AND LEARNING To read the passage FUTUROSCOPE— To learn to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing Procedures 1. Warming up Let’s listen and read aloud to the recording of the text FUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENT AND LEARNING 2. Reading and underlining Next you are to read the text and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in it. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework. Collocations from FUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENT AND LEARNING take a journey deep into space深入太空旅行, pull…into …拉„„进入, survive an airplane crash在飞机坠毁中幸存下来, go to the bottom of the ocean潜入海底, see the sunlight看到日 光，take part in car racing加入赛车比赛, end one’s travel结束旅行, meet with dinosaur遭遇 恐龙袭击, in one day在一天内, use the advanced technology用先进技术, have experiences有 经历, a technology-based theme park基于技术的主题公园, provide up-to-date information提 供最新的信息, provide hands-on learning提供亲自动手的学习机会, go to the edges of the solar system到达太阳系的极限, fly through the jungle飞越丛林, do things without danger干 某事没有危险, try science experiments进行科学实验, prepare for a flight into the space为太 空旅行做准备, live on the planet生活在行星上, in the solar system在太阳系, a combination of fun and learning集娱乐和学习为一体 3. Doing exercises Now you are going to do the exercises on page 39. 4. Acting a text play Acting out the text is a strategy for motivating us to read out loud the text. We need oral practice and help with pronunciation and so acting out the text really helps us. Next we are going to put the text THEME PARKS —FUN AND MORE THAN FUN 用原版 A text play of THEME PARKS —FUN AND MORE THAN FUN Time: A Sunday morning Place: A theme park in Beijing People: a tourist guide, Zhao Yannan and I Guide: This morning we are going to visit a theme park in Beijing. Its name is Big World. I: Where is it? Is it close to Beijing? Guide: Yes, it is north of Beijing, 30 li away from where we are staying. Zhao Yannan: Wonderful! I like to amuse myself and escape my busy school life for a while. I: What can we do there? Can we sit chatting, play games and listen to birds’ singing? Guide: Yow can do much more than that. You may relax a bit, have picnics and have fun there. Zhao Yannan: How much does it cost to visit the park? Guide: 100 yuan each. It is not expensive at this time of the year. I: I have never been to a theme park. But I think a theme park provides entertainment. In it visitors may use shuttles to get around, and have a variety of things to see and do. Zhao Yannan: Does it charge any money for providing food and drink there? Guide: Yes, of course. It makes a profit by selling souvenirs, too. I: I have seen it advertised on television. The boss of the park does have some nice ideas. He learned that he built a sports theme park there. Visitors may be involved in physical exercise. They may also buy a brand of sports equipment, go for rides on animals, cook cultural foods, have pictures taken in the sports theme park there. Zhao Yannan: I hope we shall not be charged for admission into the sports theme park. Guide: No, you won’t. Everything is covered by the 100 yuan. I: I guess it is a place of fantasy. Let’s take an active park in everything we do there. Zhao Yannan: I agree with you. And I hope some day we shall go on trips to space, using computer techniques to guide us in our flying to the other planets. 5. Finding information Go to the library to read or get online to search in order to find more information about theme park in the world. Take notes of your finding and report to your group mates next Saturday morning. 6. Writing letters Write a letter to your parents, telling them about your last visit to a park. 7. Filing in a table and retell the text Make use of the text on page 38 and others to fill in the form. Then try to retell the text with its help. FUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENT AND LEARNING Where for the exciting journey? At Futuroscope, a theme park in France What to experience there? take a journey into space, to the end of the solar system, into a black hole; to Brazil; to the bottom of the ocean; take part in car racing or ski; meeting with a dinosaur How? use the most advanced technology without leaving the earth and the present time. 8. Closing down by planning a theme park To end this period, I am going to ask you to plan a theme park of your own. Write down your planning and share it with your partner. Unit 5 Theme parks Part 2 Teaching Resources 第二部分 教学资源 Section 1 Background for Unit 5 Theme parks What is a theme park? ?A term used to describe an amusement park that is designed to carry a theme in one or more areas of the park. The theme may carry over to the rides and attractions in that area as well. Examples of theme parks include Holiday World, Islands of Adventure, Disneyland, Magic Kingdom and Knott's Berry Farm. ?An amusement park, that has been divided into several sub-sections, each with a distinctive concept, such as the Old West, or the future. ?A theme park is a park that uses a theme to take guests to a new world. ?An amusement park which has one or more "themed" areas, with rides and attractions keyed to the theme of their location within the park. Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg are examples of theme parks. ?An amusement park that is organized around some theme (as the world of tomorrow) 2. Old Aircraft Carrier Turned Into Military Theme Park in China An old aircraft carrier from the former Soviet Union navy has been turned into a military theme park and will be stationed at Dapeng Bay in Shenzhen, south China' s Guangdong Province. The 40,000-ton ship, known as the Minsk, first arrived at the Wenchong Shipyard in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, in November 1998 as scrap iron, the Shanghai-based Wenhuai Daily reported on May 8. It is about triple the size of a standard football field, 18 stories high, and has more than 2,000 cabins, the paper said. The carrier, which was poorly maintained by the Russian navy after the collapse of the Soviet Union, retired in 1993 and was initially sold to a South Korean businessman as scrap steel after key military components were removed, the paper said. The Minsk was later resold to an undisclosed Chinese business. (From: People’s Daily) 3. Tips to make the most of your vacation Plan your visit. Buy a guidebook. Read reviews. Check out the park’s Web site. Then plan what you want to see and do. Unless the park is small, you shouldn’t expect to see or do everything in one day, so set your priorities. The investment you make in planning will pay handsome dividends on “park day.” Have a “Plan B.” It is not uncommon that an attraction will be closed. In that case, just move on to the next on your list. Also, in the unlikely — but not unheard of — event that the entire park is closed, have a backup plan that includes another, nearby activity. Arrive early. An extra 15 minutes waiting in line at the park entrance could cut an hour off of your waiting time for the most popular attractions. Divide and conquer. Chances are that not everyone in your party wants to do or see the same things. Although it is nice to be able to share the experiences of a theme park as a family or with friends, time (and money) may limit the opportunity for each person to accomplish what he or she would like while traveling as a group. Keep in touch. Go your separate ways, but arrange to meet back at a specific location at a designated time to talk over your experiences, offer recommendations, revise your plan and set a time and place for your next meeting. Also have a site selected that can become a place to reestablish contact should your party become accidentally separated. It will save lots of time that might otherwise be spent looking for one another. Go deep. Once you enter the park, proceed to the farthest attractions first. Theme park designers place much of the merchandise near the park entrances — hoping to catch you coming and going. And it works — in this case to your advantage. By bypassing the shops on your way to the popular attractions, you will beat others who get waylaid by the shops. Choose your position. The front of the line may not always be the best for attractions where large numbers of guests are admitted all at once as, for instance, in an auditorium. The people who are at the very front of the line may find themselves up against a sidewall, while middle-of-the-liners have the best view. Leave mid-day. Generally, theme parks are most crowded in the middle of the day. This is a good time to rest for a few hours — regaining your strength for another assault on the park later in the day. Be sure to get your hand stamped or get some other proof of admission that will allow you to be readmitted to the park at no charge. Eat outside. Food prices inside a theme park can be as horrifying as any of the park’s dark rides. While taking your mid-day break from the park, refuel yourself without spending a bundle on hot dogs. Return late-day. As the energy of other guests wanes, move back into the park. This time, visit the attractions closer to the entrance first where it is probably less crowded now. Shop last. Want to buy souvenirs? Do it on your way out. You won’t have to lug your purchases around with you all day. Enjoy. Finally, if you find yourself getting ticked off at slow lines, poor service or inconsiderate guests, stop and take a breather. A visit to a theme park is supposed to be an enjoyable event, not a stressful occasion. Unit 5 Theme parks Part 2 Teaching Resources 第二部分 教学资源 Section 2 Notes to difficult sentences from Unit 5 1.

A selected English passage for recitation英文精选背诵短文 The Surroundings in Cities We have to admit that, comparatively speaking, our cities are not so clean and green as those in the developed countries. There are not adequate trees, lawns and flower-beds in such big cities as Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. We should make our cities greener by planting more trees, grass and flowers. A green environment can bring us pleasure, beauty and fresh air. Trees, lawns and flowers will make our cities more pleasing to both the eye and the mind, improve the weather conditions and provide fresh air, all of which will no doubt do us a lot of good. I suggest that the whole city go all out every spring to plant new trees, build new lawns in and around the city, and everyone should take care of and protect the trees, lawns and flowers, and educate the children to love them. Then year after year, our cities will become greener, more beautiful and livable. (158 words)
