Learn about cultural differences 2. Scan Passage A and understand the main idea of the text “Time-Conscious Americans”. 3. Understand the structure of the text and the devices for developing it. 4. Grasp some keys words, phrases and some useful sentence patterns. 本文涉及 “ 时间” 概念, 重在让学生了解不同文化中时间概念的差异性。本课的其他几个教学目标以及本课采取的教学方法要求本课的板书设计采取“概括归纳法”、“比较对照法”。采取“归纳概括法”可以使学生从纷繁复杂的文章事件中整理归纳出一般的规律。在本课中，通过归纳美国人对时间的态度，就可以归纳出美国人的时间观念；通过列举中国人对时间的态度同样归纳出中国人的时间观念。然后通过“比较对照法”对比两国时间概念的异同，从而帮助学生更好理解学习课文。 因此。黑板的格局可以一分为二，一半用来书写重要信息，比如说归纳、整理来得信息，文章结构信息，重点语法文法知识点，文化焦点等。另一半黑板用语书写不重要的信息。比如帮助归纳的信息、零碎的词汇，短语、不重要的结构，语言点等。 Key Issues and Teaching Difficulties 教学重点与难点 Methodology 教学方法与手段 Teaching emphasis: 1. organizing a paragraph with a general statement supported by specific details and the reason 2. key words, phrases and some useful sentence patterns; Teaching difficulties: Reading for the main ideas in paragraphs Teaching method: lecture with pair work and group References and online resources 教学参考书和网络资源 New horizon College English: Teachers’ Book New Horizon College English: Integrated Exercises On-line resources: English on line discussion Teaching aids: Multi-media and blackboard Teaching Procedures: 教 学 进 程 Passage A Time-Conscious American The first two periods: Step 1 Lead-in: Teaching method: listening, watching and group work.
