【正文】 Step Ⅴ Consolidating and Applying the rule Exercise to be shown on the PPT and one student at a time to do the exercise orally. (Judging whether the sentences contain predicatives, using sentence pattern “S+V+P” to rewrite sentences, correspondent practices in workbooks. Step Ⅵ Summary and Assignment 1. Make a summary of today’s task. 2. Assign Ss to surf the write a short article to introduce an object or an experience, using as many predicatives as possible in the article. Period 4 Using language Ⅰ . Teaching aims: 1. Enable the Ss to get some basic knowledge about dangerous creatures in Australia 2. Help Ss learn how to protect themselves from the dangerous creatures in Australia Ⅱ . Teaching important points: Enable the Ss to know what attention should be paid while camping in Australia to protect themselves totally safe from the dangerous creatures Ⅲ . Teaching difficult points: Teach the Ss how to figure out the best ways to stay safe while ca mping outside Ⅳ . Teaching methods: Taskbased learning and cooperative learning Ⅴ . Teaching aids: A puter, a blackboard, a recorder Ⅵ . Teaching procedures: StepⅠ Leadin 1. Greetings. 2. Ask some students to talk about what they know about wildlife in Australia and what they should pay attention to if they are offered a chance to travel around Australia. Thus lead to today’s topic. StepⅡ Listening 1. Prelistening (Ask Ss to turn to page 26 and to predict what Wei Ping might be nervous about.) 2. Listening task(Exercise 2 answer the questions) 3. Listening task(Exercise 3 – filling the blanks) 4. Listening again and having a discussion Keys to tasks 2 1. He is worried about snakes. 2. No. Because he does not believe they are likely to see any and he knows what precautions to take against being bitten. 3. He probably has talked him around because he assured Wei Ping that there was very little danger. Also the fact that Wei Ping summarized the advice Bob gave him suggests that he has accepted bob’s assurances. Keys to task2 snake boots and long trousers a noise do not move avoid walking Keys to task 3 1. Because Wei Ping may think the bush means wild and dangerous land, but Australians use it to mean the countryside where there aren’t any houses or farms or other signs of humans. 2. Because snakes don’t have legs (this is where the humor lies) Step Ⅲ Extensive Reading 1. Prereading ( Ask Ss just read the title and look at the picture to predict what they expect to read in the text) 2. Ask Ss to read the whole text and check whether what their predictions are right and tell the main idea of the text 3. Ask Ss to read the whole text for specific information, that is, to answer questions listed in Exercise 2. Keys of Exercise 2: 1. 115 different kinds of snakes and 2,000 different kinds of spiders. Only a few kinds of spiders and snakes are capable of killing humans. 2. Most jellyfish can cause severe pain to anyone who touches them but only the box jellyfish can kill a human 3.

The island used to be a very harsh prison for the most dangerous prisoners. StepⅣ Discussion 1. Ask every four Ss to form a group and read the relative information 2. Ask the Ss to divide the information into certain points and give suggestions to each point For example: (crocodile) Show the example on the screen. 1. found only in the far north of Australia near the rivers and water holes. Don’t go to the north of Australia and sty away from rivers and waterholes. 2. There are signs to warn people. Don’t go near water places where there is a waning sign. 3. stay hidden in the water or on the land close to water. Don’t go near water alone./ Don’t swim in waters that are not familiar to you. Step V Assignment Ask Ss to get prepared for the debate (divide the whole class into two sides: for or against) in the next period. Debating topic: “Australia is a dangerous place to visit.” Period 4 Debating amp。 Exercise 2. In Exercise 2, have a pair of Ss to act out the dialogue. 2. Then check answers. 3. Ask them to summarize what can function as predicatives in sentences. So, to
