　　Ⅲ.Teaching arrangements

　　Period 1&2: Warming up, listening and speaking

　　Period 3&4: reading

　　Period 5: Language study

　　Period 6: Integrating skills and writing

　　Notes:

　　1. Amending   In warming up, it’s too abstract for the students to talk about the quotes, so we deal with it as a unit task to the students at the very beginning-―make up a column about scientists and their quotes.

　　2. Replacement   In speaking, the text gives the students the debate: Which branch of science is more important and useful to our society?

　　It’s too difficult and abstract for the students to carry it out. The reasons are as follows:

　　1) Their vocabulary is not large enough.

　　2) It’s too difficult to divide each branch of science in our daily life.

　　In fact, each branch can’t be divided from the others. Only by combining them together, can we make our world more beautiful.

　　So we change the topic, and ask the students to talk about what has happened in our daily life. That is , should a nuclear power station be built in Sanmen? This topic can give the students lots of space to talk about.

　　3. Adding   This unit doesn’t give a good sample for the students to write about a scientist. So it is also very difficult for the students to do the writing well. Because of this, we add a research task to the students after finishing the reading material No Boundaries. (What is science and what is the spirit of a scientist?   Do research on your favorite scientist and try to find out what makes him /her successful. The students are asked to finish the task by surfing the Internet.) With the help of the first unit task--- to make up a column about scientists and their quotes, it’s possible for the students to write a good article about a favorite scientist.
