人教版高中英語課本選修八第五單元 Meeting your ancestors reading A VISIT TO THE ZHOU KOUDIAN CAVES江西省 - 南昌
選修八 Unit 5 Reading
A VISIT TO THE ZHOU KOUDIAN CAVES 教學設計
一， 教學內容分析
本文選自人教版高中英語課本選修八第五單元 Meeting your ancestors reading部分。該部分設計了一組英國學生到周口店遺址參觀的場景，通過學生與考古學家的對話，了解早期人類的生活方式，增長考古學識，讓學生體驗人類文明的發展進程，同時激發學生對考古學的興趣和研究古代史的欲望。 二， 教學目標
1. Let students try to work out the meaning of the new words and structures using context clues and
enable students to appreciate interesting phrases and figurative language.
2. Let students know about the information of one site where early people lived in China.
3. Give students an insight into the kind of questioning techniques that archaeologists use to get
information about the life of early people from the object they find.
三， 教學重難點
如何利用教材文本引導學生體驗式閱讀并培養他們的批判性思維能力和英語綜合能力。 四， 教學設計
Step 1 通過播放一個無聲的鉛筆畫視頻，讓學生體驗人類文明的發展進程。師生互動，就此話題展開討論，從而導出閱讀中“周口店北京人”的主題。 1. What information can we get from the video?
2. Is there any way that you can know about the information of one site where early people lived in
China?
Step 2 解讀課文標題和圖片，預測課文內容。 解讀題目: What’s the title?
What do you think the reading is about? Where is Zhoukoudian? What is it famous for?
圖片解讀： Who you think the people were? Were they like us modern people? What are the differences? How did they make a living? Guess and imagine what their life was like?
Step 3 梳理生詞。學生掃讀全文，然后根據上下文的語境，推測并匹配本課目標詞匯和該詞的英文釋義。
Skim the whole passage and let students try to work out the meaning of the new words using context clues.
Interrupt _________ a. n. study of sth by examining its parts and their relationship Acute _________ b. v. to make something capable of cutting, piercing, not blunt. Assume _________ c. v. to make sth fully grown and ready to be eaten.

Answer: d, h, j, f, b, g, i, e, a, c
Notes: I am sorry to interrupt you but … this is a polite way of speaking, it means you want to ask a question while someone else is speaking. You stop the other person but try not to upset him/her.
Step 4 快速閱讀文章，并把全文分成三部分，概括全文以及三個小部分的中心思想。
Read the conversation again and divide the passage into 3 parts and find out the three topics that archeologist talked about.
Main idea: An archeologist is showing the students from England around the Zhoukoudian caves. Topic 1 (Line 1-18) Life in the cave. Topic 2 (Line 19-37) What we can learn from a needle. Topic 3 (Line 38-52) What we can learn from a necklace.
Step 5 仔細閱讀。Careful reading.
For Topic 1. Why have the English students come to the zhoukoudian caves?
You must be aware that it is here that we found evidence of some of the earliest people who lived in this part of the world. We’ve been excavating here for many years.
Notes: You must be aware that…. This is a polite way for the archeologist to remind her audience of something they probably already know: that the Zhoukoudian caves are one of the sites of early people in China.
We have been excavating here… An excavation is the word used by archaeologists to describe the procedure for digging and recording a site.
2. Where did early people live?
So we think it is reasonable to assume they lived in these caves, regardless of the cold.
3. How did people keep warm?
We have discovered fireplaces in the center of the caves where they made fires. That would have kept them warm.
…….., which suggests that they might have kept the fire burning all winter.
4. What did they use for doors?
We think they might have hung animal skins at the cave mouth to keep out the cold.
Notes : It is reasonable to assume….. This is a very common way that archaeologists will explain something. They will never say “I know this” because they can’t ask the people themselves and see if they were correct. So all archaeologists will be tentative in their description of life in the past. Notice how the archaeologist in this talk always use “suggest” or “we think” or “it seems”. Watch out for other examples.
Step 6 仔細閱讀文章第2,3兩部分，完成下列表格。 Object What can be discovered from it?
needle
descriptions 1. They repaired or made clothes.
2. They didn’t have material like we have today.
3. Tools have been found to cut and clean animal skins.
conclusion So early people probably wore animal skins. necklace descriptions 1. They cared about their appearance.
2. Some of the beads were made of animal bones.
conclusion So early people killed, cu up and most probably ate animals. descriptions Some of the beads were made of fish bones.
conclusion So early people caught and probably ate fish in the nearby lake.
(As shown by botanical analyses)
descriptions Some of the beads were made of seashells.
conclusion So early people many have travelled to the sea or traded with people who
had seashells.
Notes: As the botanical analyses have shown us….. Scientific analyses are often used to find the kind of environment in which early people lived. The area around the Zhoukoudian caves shows that there was a large lake which contained fish. We know this from the kind of shells and remains of water creatures that are found in the area surrounding Zhoukoudian. So the archaeologists assume that early people caught and ate the fish as they did in the story later in the unit. Our evidence suggests that…. It seems that…
此題為上題表格處的一個超級鏈接，鏈接設置在第一空單詞 clothes 上。 What’s the correct order about how early people made clothes? a. Remove the fat and meat from the skin. b. Cut up the animals. c. Rub salt inside the skin. d. Remove the skin.
e. Sew the pieces together. Answer: b-d-a-c-e
Step 7 討論文章的寫作風格。Discussion of the writing style. S1: How could they live here? S2: How did they keep warm?
S3: What wild animals were there all that time ago?
A: What do you think this tells us about the life of these early people? A: What do you think it might have been used for? S2：Do you mean that they made their own clothes? Where did they get the material? A: Can you guess what they used? S1: Did they make clothes entirely of animal skins? How did they prepare them? A: What do you think it’s made of? A: Can you identify any other bones? A: Why don’t we go and visit the caves?
Notes: This reading is written in the form of questions and answers. It is similar to an interview except that
the archaeologist is behaving more like a teacher guiding the students’ learning. The questions develop from the replies that the archaeologist made to a previous question. It is different from other styles of writing.
Step 8 Work in groups and continue to make the story complete.
Let’s see what is going to happen in the caves. While making the story, try to apply the questioning techniques and some figurative language that archaeologists use.
