牛津高中英语教学设计

单 元：Unit1 Living with technology

板 块：Grammar and usage

Thoughts on design：

本板块是对“及物动词和不及物动词”的高度概括式介绍。学生从开始学习英语就接触了动词，动词是英语中最活跃的词类，会涉及到时态和语态，动词短语，非谓语动词等重难点语法项目，特别需要指导学生进行重点关注。本课时从引导学生关注基本规律入手，将及物动词和不及物动词的不同用法和特征进行分类说明。在教学中，指导学生通过阅读课本上精简的说明，自己得出一些结论，有助于提高阅读能力和自学能力。由于学生对动词相对比较熟悉，教学中可以设计一些小练习，帮助他们熟练运用。课本上语篇形式的练习也很好，语用的特征更加明显，建议好好地利用。此外，这些语篇中的课标词汇的学习也要提醒学生注意。

Teaching aims:

1. students will be able to review the usage of transitive and intransitive verbs;

2. students will be able to read brief explanations of the grammar items and draw conclusions;

3. students will be able to learn how to use them in different situations and by fulfilling some written tasks;

4. students will be able to know how to accumulate their knowledge of the language every day and try to use what has been learnt as often as possible.

Teaching procedures:

Step 1 Lead in

指导学生自己阅读课本上的相关说明，了解及物动词和不及物动词的含义和特征。不必从头至尾全由老师讲下去，学生通过阅读课本上极为精简的语法项目说明，可以自己得出结论，同时又可以提高阅读能力和自学能力。

• 1. An American, Philo Farnsworth, made important breakthroughs in the development of the TV in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

• 2. It was not until the early 1950s that most tape recorders began using plastic tape as they do today.

• 3. Who can foresee what the future will bring?

• The object can be a noun, a pronoun, an infinitive, a verb-ing or an object clause.

•

• On my birthday uncle gave me a mobile phone as a gift.

• The direct object is usually a noun that refers to something being given. The indirect object is a noun or a pronoun that refers to the recipient.

•

• This will soon make DVDs things of the past.

• They also make TV accessible to people who live far away from cities.

• The complement can be a noun, an adjective, an adverb, a prepositional phrase or a non-finite verb which refers back to the object.

By the late 1970s, video recorders small and cheap enough for home use were introduced.

Most transitive verbs can be used in the passive voice.

Times sure have changed!

Intransitive verbs do not take an object, and cannot be used in the passive voice.

The waters rose higher and higher, until more than 1,000 people had to leave their homes.
