二、 教材内容分析（Analysis of the teaching materials）
本单元的中心话题是“新闻媒体”，具体涉及新闻媒体是什么，有哪些，重要性，如何制作和编写新闻,以及怎样以客观和辨证的态度撰写和阅读新闻报道等。语言技能和语言知识几乎都围绕“新闻媒体”这一中心话题设计的。
“热身”部分呈现了关于不同新闻媒体的图片，并通过五个问题让学生大致了解种类，可靠度，运做，以及相关词汇。“听力” 部分是围绕Jim Gray被炒这样一件事情展开的。但形式独特，有对老板的采访，也有 同事对他的议论。在随后的练习中，第一题是一个对两段材料听后的信息综合题，但采用选择的形式刚好可以使难度适当降低。但也能检测学生听力信息的汲取量，提高信息的准确度。后面的 问题设计更加深化了主题。让学生听了之后思考新闻应该怎么做才好。“口语” 部分在通过让学生从十件当天发生的事情中选择新闻材料来操练巩固“Expressing ideas”的语言功能。“读前”部分以六个问题的形式来导入下面的阅读。“阅读” 如何制作和编写新闻,以及新闻传播媒体的重要性。“读后”部分要求学生回答问题，其中前一个问题评价学生对文章理解的程度；后三个问题是开放性的，目的在于培养学生的思辨能力。“语言学习”分语言点和语法两部分。“综合技能” 分为读写两部分。阅读课本中同一事件的两则不同的报道来对两则报道进行分析比较，并配置相应的标题和新闻图片，并且为写作部分奠定了一定的基础。写作部分是写关于对不同的两中媒体介绍的文章。“复习要点”部分简要地总结了本单元的语法重点--动词形式的使用，并且列举了一些词汇和句子，帮助学生温习。
三、 教学安排(Teaching arrangements)
Period 1-2: Warming up & Reading (Behind The Headline)
Period 3: (Wb) Listening, Talking & Listening
Period 4: Speaking, Integrating Skills and Writhing
Period 5: Language Practicing
Period 6: (Wb) Integrating skills & Writing
本教学安排根据“LARA教学原则”，对教材进行大胆的删除（L – leave out）、 修补（A – Amending）、替换（R – Replace）、增添（A – Add），灵活的将教材为我所用。新教材在选材和教学活动的设计上充分考虑到学生年龄特征和他们生理和心理发展的需要；在采用话题、功能、结构相结合的教学方法的基础上，设计了“任务型”的活动；对英语语言知识和技能训练作了系统的安排，循序渐进，循环反复，有利于学生构建知识系统；注意培养创新精神，提高实践能力。但新教材也应与学生的实际相结合，我们不能全盘照搬。同时在教学过程中，为了对教学有个及时的反馈和有效的改进，我们还进行了“形成性评价”。
本单元的语言技能和语言知识几乎都围绕“新闻媒体”这一中心话题设计的。我们根据本单元实际情况对教材的课时安排作了一些调整，尤其是学生用书(Student’s Book)和作业本(Workbook)有机结合。
第一、二课时是采访对话形式的阅读课，主要内容涉及到如何制作和编写新闻,以及新闻传播媒体的重要性。首先，从放映各种娱乐、体育、时事新闻报道开始，让学生对新闻和传播媒体有感官上的刺激与认识。然后就此展开话题，引出各种news media（如 radio, newspapers, magazines/journals/periodicals, internet等）,并将教材中warming up有机地相结合，以老师问学生答的有效互动形式自由谈论他们所喜受的news media并比较各种news media的优势。之后老师可以问“Which kind of news media is the most convenient and cheapest for us to have?” (newspapers)。紧接着在学生面前呈现一份报纸，让学生认识并讨论报纸的各个组成部分，以此引出报纸和新闻的相关词汇，激发学生的学习兴趣，同时为阅读做好充分地铺垫。然后以问题“Do you know how news is made in newspapers?”自然地导入到课文中。在快速阅读后让学生完成pre-reading，选出文中所提到的几个话题，了解文章的梗概。在细读过程中，根据课文采访的内容，主要围绕着采访者的问题对学生进行提问，检查学生对文章的理解程度。在了解文章内容之后再疏通课文，处理文章的重难点。在学生掌握课文内容并有了一定量的信息输入之后，给学生创造情境，进行role play (reporter & Olympic champion Tian Liang 田亮) ，让学生将所学的知识真实地运用到情境交际中，达到巩固知识与信息输出的目的。至此学生对新闻与传播媒体的认识都是从新闻与记者角度出发，新闻最重要的原则是真实性，但在我们身边不难发现有些新闻缺乏了它的真实性。那么让学生换个角度来了解讨论“自己作为读者是如何看待新闻与传播媒体的，尤其是一些缺乏真实性的新闻报道”，告诉学生对新闻要有着自己独到客观的见解，学会客观分析与批判地接受新闻信息。从而开拓了学生的思维，让学生对整个新闻事业有了更加全面、辩证的认识。最后作业布置将口头和笔头相结合，让学生朗读和背诵好词好句，并以记者的身份写一篇有关于奥运冠军田亮的新闻报道（提供相关查询的网址）。
因此第三课时一开始的时候先做一个头脑风暴，旨在复习上两个课时的相关词汇和内容。本课时分为了3部分，两篇听力与一个talking。首先针对Wb listening的特点，由它导入并热身。先从身边的实物报纸开始引出，通过问答之间过度到媒体，报纸的名词，在这里展开一个小小的头脑风暴，让学生想有关的词汇，老师可以用问题或多媒体引导，最后在多媒体上呈现。加深印象，也可以复习了上一节课时的内容。也就自然过度到听力的内容。听后的问题再让学生思考为什么要开这样的会议。来个小讨论，提起学生的兴趣，顺利转移到下一环节，让他们自己去采访。在这环节，有必要把采访的对象具体话，给出人物，以及人物的一些信息，让采访活动目的话，避免无话可讲。那做为记者，除了关心名人，是不是还要关心普通人的生活呢？转到下一环节课文的听力。落实了听的任务后。再来一个升华。那就是做文章做新闻要用怎么样的一个态度，怎么样才可以成为畅销的报纸。让学生思考，为下一课时阅读做一个铺垫。作业的布置一个让学生把课堂采访的内容写成稿子，另一个就是让他们以四人为一个小组，课外用各种媒体工具去找资料，记录他们认为的当天最轰动的头条新闻，也是为阅读做准备。
第四课时首先通过教师和学生对生活实况的交谈引出新闻，谈到新闻的形新闻类型以及不同类型新闻的可靠程度。引出部分词汇并将话题带到speaking 部分。Speaking 部分旨在通过让学生从十件当天发生的事情中选择新闻材料来操练巩固“Expressing ideas”的语言功能。该部分由师生的生活实况导入，又通过教师与学生，学生与学生的交流让学生充分发表自己意见，培养学生多角度的发散性思维能力。在对speaking部分的处理之后，谈到新闻标题和新闻图片等，此时的词汇也有了一定的扩展。由此进入到integrating skills。Integrating skills 分为读写两部分。学生在预习任务布置的阅读新闻中对分析新闻有了初步的认识后，再通过阅读课本中同一事件的两则不同的报道来对两则报道进行分析比较，并配置相应的标题和新闻图片，在读的同时学生的口语得到了提高，对新闻报道有了更深的认识。并且为写作部分奠定了一定的基础。写作部分中给出怎样写好作文的标准。作业则让学生跟好的了解新闻，提高学生的分析能力。
第五课时本课时重点是进行本单元的语言点分析，再是语法（动词-ed形式作定语和表语）。在语言点分析中，围绕新闻媒体这一话题引出阅读课的语言点和本单元的新词汇。要求学生在学了本单元之后能发现问题、提出问题和老师一起解决问题。语法教学更应该在情景中完成，我们插入两篇动画，相信学生会在轻松的气氛中了解和掌握动词-ed形式作定语和表语的用法。课本里有大量丰富的相关练习，此时是学生巩固的最好机会。
第六课时为阅读写作课。首先通过谈论暑假里发生的新闻，将教学内容导入到新闻媒体上，进而谈到本文的中心人物 – 著名主持人杨澜。让学生在快速阅读的本文的基础上，以杨澜的成长经历为线索，理清本文的主要内容。然后再在精读的基础上，解决课后问题。在全面掌握文章的基础上，给学生几个拓展训练，就“媒体是否有教育意义”这个问题展开辩论，之后再让学生比较中美“TV show”的不同和相似之处及其原因。借此两个话题可以拓展学生的思维，也可以充分让学生的口语得到锻炼，并且在辩论活动中发扬团体精神。第二部分主要通过模仿上文，写一篇关于著名主持人的新闻报道， 来巩固学生对阅读文章的掌握，同时也让学生熟悉如何写新闻报道这种新的文章类型，并把在文章中学到的新词汇及句型加以运用。

S1: Newspaper. S2: Magazine. S3: Radio. S4: Internet.
T: Right. And what do we call all of them?
Ss: News Media.
TV programs
Newspaper Magazine/periodical/journal
News Media
Radio Internet
T: Of all these kinds of news media, which one do you usually use? And which one do you prefer, why?
S1: I prefer radio as I can carry my radio anywhere and pick up many radio programs.
S2: I like TV programs as we can see more vivid pictures on the screen.
S3: I think the Internet is best because we can find anything on the Internet and the news on the Internet are maybe the latest than news from others.
S4: …
T: So all of you have different choices about news media. But which kind of news media do you think is the most convenient and cheapest for everyone to get?
Ss: Newspaper.
T: Exactly. Do you like reading newspapers? Do you subscribe to any newspapers? Can you name some newspapers that you know?
S1: Yes, I like. I subscribe to China Daily and the 21st Century.
S2: I seldom read newspapers, but I know some, for example, English Weekly, Qianjiang Evening Paper, Guangming Daily, and Taizhou Daily.
S3: …
T: You know a lot about newspapers. Excellent! Generally we can divide papers into daily, weekly and monthly, or morning paper and evening paper, or national paper and local or regional paper.
Step 2 Lead in
T: Now here is a copy of the newspaper “21st Century ”, please look at the paper, what can you find in the paper?
(T goes around the class and presents the newspaper to the Ss. Ask the Ss to find out the parts of the newspaper.)
S1: Articles. S2: Photos. S3: Advertisements (ads) S4: …
T: What do we call …in English?
(T points to some parts of the newspaper and gets the Ss to know the English names of them.)
e.g. masthead, headline, subheading, front page, column, etc.
T: In the newspaper what we can find most are articles. Do you know who writes articles?
Ss: Reporters.
T: Do reporters only record or write the events? What else do they need to do? And how do they make news?
So we still have many questions about it, right? Now today we have a good chance to learn something about newspapers and reporters. Maybe after studying we will know more about them.
Step 3 Reading
T: Would you like to turn to page 11? First I’d like to give you a couple of minutes to go through the passage and try to get the general idea of the passage. Now please do it as quickly as possible.
1. Fast reading.
Ask the Ss to read the passage quickly and get the main idea of the passage. After reading, have the Ss answer the following questions.
Q1: How many people are there in the passage? Who are they? What are they doing?
S1: There are three, one interviewer and two journalists named Chen Ying and Zhu Lin. They are having an interview.
T: So we can say the two journalists who are being interviewed in the interview are interviewees.
Q2: What are they talking about?
(T gives the Ss some topics to choose, see pre-reading)
How does a reporter decide what to write?
How much does a newspaper cost?
Why do people read newspapers?
How do newspapers report what happens?
Where do people read newspapers?
How do newspapers help us understand the world?
2. Careful reading.
Ask the Ss to read the passage carefully and try to get more detailed information. Think over the two topic questions above.
T: Have you finished yet? Here I have prepared a number of questions for you to check how much you understand the passage. You’d better try to answer the questions with your textbooks closed.
Q1: How does a reporter decide what to write? (A reporter has to discuss the article with the editor and get some suggestions from the editor.)
Q2: What should be done before a reporter actually starts writing?
(A reporter begins by contacting the people to be interviewed , then prepare questions, and interview the people. After the interview, the reporter must present the material in an organised way and make sure the article reflects events and opinions truthfully.)
(T: Great! So until now do you know how reporters make news and decide what to write?)
Q3: What newspaper articles do you prefer to read? Why? (I prefer to read …because they are more interesting/ instructive/educational/…)
Q4: What are the two journalists’ favourite articles that they have written? Why do they like them best?
(Chen Ying’s favourite article is the one she wrote about the efforts to bring stolen cultural relics back to China .It is both news and an interesting story. Zhu Lin’s favorite article is about an ordinary young woman who tried to adapt to her new life after having studied abroad. It was the first time that he had written with real passion and it made him realize that everyone’s life is different.)
Q5: What do they want most to write about? Why ?
(Zhu Llin wants to explore the mysteries in life and would like to write about music, art, nature and the importance of spiritual fulfillment, while Chen Ying wants to write about people we seldom read about, for example, people who have AIDs or who are addicted to drugs.)
Q6: If you were a reporter, what would you like to write about? Why?
Q7: How do newspapers help us understand the world?
(They can help people become interested in important questions around the world. Also, they can bring us a better understanding of the world on all sides, leading to a future world where people from all countries are respected and different views and opinions are tolerated.)
3. Listening and Language points
T: Well, you did a good job. Now you have got a general idea of the passage. But do you have any difficulties in understanding some language points? Let’s enjoy the passage with the tape recorder.
(While listening, T helps the Ss to deal with the language points when necessary.)
Step 4 Product (Role Play)
T: From the passage, we know how a reporter works for a newspaper, how to make news and how to write articles. Do you think to be a reporter is an easy job? Do you want to experience the reporter’s work? Here is a chance and task for you.
Task: Suppose you are a reporter from our school newspaper. You are chosen to interview the Olympic Diving Champion Tian Liang(田亮), who won the gold medal with Yang Jinghui（杨景辉）in the men’s synchronized 10-meter platform event(男子双人10米跳台项目) in Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
T: Would you like to have a face-to-face interview with your partner? One acts the role of a reporter and the other the Olympic Champion Tian Liang.
The following questions are for Ss’ reference.
For which age did you begin to learn diving? (at the age of 7)
What’s your life like when you began to train diving at the early age?
Have you ever wanted to give up diving?
How did you feel when you won the gold medal in Sydney 2000 Olympic Games?
Have you thought you would win the gold medal before the competition in Athens Games?
Do you have any pressure when you attended the Athens Olympic Games since you are the champion in Sydney 2000 Olympic Games?
(If there is some pressure) How do you relieve your pressure?
What’s your life goal? When do you want to stop diving?
Most people think you are a lucky boy, then how do you make such a great achievement?
……
(Ss are given a couple of minutes to prepare and then T asks two or more pairs to act out their interview.)
Step 5 Discussion
T gets the Ss to enjoy some video or newspaper articles in which news is reported untruthfully.
T: How do you think about the news you enjoyed?
Do you think they are very interesting?
Do you think the news is reported truthfully?
Why do some reporters report the events untruthfully?
( for the circulation of their newspapers, magazine，or start a rumor or gossip to attract and entertain readers, or other certain purposes…)
As a reader, how do you “read” the media messages such as TV advertisements, TV programs, news on the Internet and newspaper articles?
(First, T has the Ss do a survey about their way of reading media messages, see Post-reading, Ex.3)
I would believe all of it without checking other sources. I would believe some it, but I would also check other sources. I would not believe it, but I might check other sauces and maybe change my mind.
TV advertisements
TV programs
News on the Internet
Newspaper articles
(Then, T collects information by asking questions according to the form above.)
T: Do you know what kind of readers you are? Are you a critical reader?
What attitude do you usually take towards the news we get from the news media?
What attitude should we take towards the news?
(to be critical of what we read, make objective and critical comments on news, have our own opinions about news, and have an ability of telling the difference between facts and opinions …)
T: (Summary) We each are social members, we should be concerned about what happens around us. The news media help us to learn about the world around us and have a better understanding of the world on all sides. News and news media are important and necessary for us, and we should show positive attitude towards them. It is important to be a critical reader and make objective and critical comments on what we read.

Period 6: (Wb) Integrating skills & Writing
Step 1. Lead-in
Firstly teacher will greet with the students, like “How are you, class? Did you have a good time in your summer vacation? If the students answer “Yes”, teacher will go on asking “Who can tell me some important events happening in the summer vacation?”. (Typhoon in Zhejiang Province, the Olympic Games in Greece….)
But if the students answer “No”, teacher will ask them the reason. Most students will say it’s all because of the typhoon. “Yes. That is the most important and terrible event in our province this summer. And do you know any other important event around the world? Maybe not terrible but exciting.” (Olympic Games in Greece)
Then teacher asks students the question “How do you know that?” (From the newspaper, through the internet, watch TV…)
Yes. We know the exciting and important events from the news media. Today we will talk about a lady working in the news media field. She is a very famous host for TV show, or we can call her a TV personality. Her name is Yang Lan.
Step 2. Scanning
Read the passage , and try to find out the growing experience of Yang Lan.
In her childhood, sat in front of a neighbour’s small black and white TV
In her 21, graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University
became the host of “Zheng Da TV show”
In her 25, went to New York City to get a Master’s degree at Columbia University
During she was abroad, produced a feature show – “Horizon”
interviewed important people and discussed social issues
developed “Yang Lan One on One”
After she returned to China, started her own media company – Sun Media
Step 3. Skimming
Read the passage again, and answer some questions.
From Yang Lan’s growing experience, it is easy to find that she did a success in her life. In the passage, we used a phrase to describe her. What is it? And what does it mean?
They are both great women. They are successful because they have their clear goals. And do you know the goal of Yang Lan and her Company? What kind of TV show does she want to create? What does “to educate through entertainment, and to illuminate through information” mean?
Step 4. Debate
From her media company’s goal, we see that she believes that TV, radio, newspaper and Internet can and should be used to educate people. Do you agree with her?
Ask the students to divide into two groups and discuss the question. Then let them have a free debate. Before they start discussing, teacher will give them some questions as the hints. “What can we learn from different media? What are the bad effects from the media? Among the TV, radio, newspaper and the Internet, which is the most educational….”
Step 5. Discussion
From the debate, we can say “The news media can be and should be used to educate people, but we still have to improve it so that it will be more meaningful. From your words, I can see that you are very familiar with the Chinese TV shows, but how about the TV shows abroad, for example in America? Maybe we have some similarities but also some differences. Can you think of any for these differences and similarities?
Step 6. Writing
As we talk about a lot of the news media and the hosts for TV shows, maybe you’ve already got some information about it. Suppose that you are a reporter for your local newspaper. Your editor has asked you to write an article about a famous TV personality – Yang Lan. The editor has given you a list of questions that the readers are interested in, think of more questions and use the answers to write your article.
Teacher will give the students some hints: in the first paragraph --- Introduction. Such as: “Who is this person? What is she famous for?”; In the second paragraph -- -Background. Such as: “How did she become popular?” In the third paragraph --- current situation and future plans. In the fourth paragraph --- Conclusion. Then ask students to imitate the reading passage, and write a similar passage.
Step 7. Homework
1. Finish writing a news report.
2. Do self-assessment.

六、背景参考资料(Background knowledge)
V 背景知识（Background knowledge）
1. About American Newspapers
There are more than 1500 daily newspapers in the US. Each one is usually sold only in one part of the country, e.g. in a city, but they cover national and international news. In larger cities there is often more than one newspaper and the different ones express different political opinions. Some newspapers are sold in nearly all parts of the USA, e.g. USA today and the national edition of the New York Times. Two other newspapers, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post are known and respected all over the US but cannot be bought everywhere. Other important newspapers are: the Boston Globe, sold in New England; the Chicago Tribune, sold in the Midwest; the Christian Science Monitor and USA Today, both sold nationally; and the Washington Post on the East Coast. Many people read the national Sunday edition of the New York Times because it includes the weekly New York Review of Books.
Daily newspapers are published on every day of the week except Sunday. Sunday newspapers are very big, often having several separate parts. They contain many longer articles and a lot of advertisements. Each section deals with a different subject. E.g. national and international news, sport, travel, etc. One section, the classifieds(分类广告), has advertisements for jobs and things for sale. Another cartoon section is often called the funnies or funny papers. There is often also a magazine, which is in color.
2. The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper
A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特定) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own news paper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

4. Introduction of China Daily
The first and only national English-language newspaper in China, China Daily was founded in 1981 at the outset of China’s reform and opening up program. After 20 years of development, China Daily has grown into an English-language newspaper group consisting of nine publications – China Daily, China Daily Hong Kong Edition, Reports from China, Business Weekly, 21st Century, 21st Century School Edition, Beijing Weekend, Shanghai Star and China Daily Website.
China Daily is China’s only newspaper to have entered Western mainstream society. In the United States, the President, over one-third of the members of Congress, and decision-makers in big companies are all China Daily regular readers, reading the newspaper having become an important part of their daily work.
Steadfastly sticking to the principle laid down at its very beginning – Let the world know China Daily through China Daily, the –paper is now moving towards its goal of becoming a “world-famous news media entity.” It is now circulated in more than 150 countries and regions and is an important source of information on China’s politics, economy, law, military affairs, culture, education, sports and social life for its readers both at home and abroad. China Daily is the country’s most frequently quoted newspaper, with its stories often picked up by international wire services, newspaper, magazines and radio and television stations. China Daily is widely recognized as China’s most authoritative English-language publication
5. The major radio and TV networks in America
Today the major radio and TV networks are the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) and the American Broadcasting Company (ABC).
VOA (Voice of America) is the most famous of the 19 radio stations of the United States of America for the expansion of propaganda to foreign countries. Most of the 19 radio stations are supported and organized by the government. VOA Radio Station is in Washington. It was established in 1924, originally for war information and now it comes under the leadership of the American International Communication Bureau. It now has 16 broadcasting stations, sending news to the whole world in 41 languages day and night.
In 1965, the United States launched the world’s first communication space satellite-“Early Bird”. This “Early Bird” made the things all more wonderful. It increased the telephone capacity across the Atlantic by more than one third, and made possible commercial “live” television broadcasts of trans-atlantics events. Now it also carries routinely commercial traffic, such as telephone calls, television, Teletype and other transmission. People could expect the day when a worldwide network of satellites links people of many nations through this new means of communication.
