《unit5 Nelson Mandela—a modern hero》 说课稿
Hello,everyone.I’m honoured to be here to share my ideas about how to teach warming up and reading.
In the process, I will focus on students’ long-term development and enable them to use proper reading skills and strategies. In other words, students are guided to read efficiently and independently.
My teaching plan will include 3 parts. They’re analysis of the teaching material，teaching procedures and blackboard design.
Part 1 Analysis of the teaching material
The topic of this unit is Nelson Mandela—a modern hero.In this part,students will know about the qualities a great person should have.The reading passage Elias’s Story is to introduce to students the qualities and abilities that make Nelson Mandela such an interesting person to study.Not only was he able to inspire many to follow him despite many difficulties but he became an international symbol for fairness and justice.
Teaching aims
Based on the analysis of the teaching material, I have chosen the following as the teaching aims of my lesson:
1 Knowledge aims:
a. key words and phrases:hero quality willing active republic fight peaceful prison period law fee youth league stage vote position accept violence equal lose heart In trouble worry about out of work as a matter of fact blow up put…in prison
b. key sentences
It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice.
The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress,until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.
We were put into a posetion in which we had either to accept we were lass important,or fight the government.
2 Ability aims
a Talk abot great people.
b Express your points of view.
3 Emotional aims
a Learn about some great people and qualities they have im common.
b Get the students to learn from Nelson Mandela to develop their moral qualities.
Teaching important points

1 How to express their own opinions and ideas.
2 How to grasp the main idea of the text.
Teaching methods:

3 Individual.pair and group work
4 Discussion.
Teaching aids
A recorder,a projector and a computer.
Part2 Teaching procedures
Step 1 warming up(10 mins)
Task 1 guessing game: who is he/she?
(The teacher read the descriptions and let students guess who he is.in this way,it can practice their listening)
Then according to the pictures ,have a discussion about “who is your hero/heroine?why?”
(In this way,students can talk about their heros to pratice their speaking and know how to describe people’s characters.)
Step 2 pre-reading(5mins)
Who is a freedom fighter?then give a short introduction about Nelson Mandela including some short stories.
(students can know some basic information about the great man.They must be impressed by his strong will. )
Step3 while-reading(15 mins)
Fast reading
Task 1 What are the two main characters？
Task 2 how many parts ?what’s the main idea？
Part1(1-2)The life of Elias before he met Mandela.
Part2(3-5)The change of Elias’ life after he met Mandela and what Mandela did.
Task 3 get the Ss to read the text quickly and make a timeline of Elias’ life until he met Nelsom Mandela
1940__1946__1948__1952__
(individual work ,students can get the outline of the passage by reading the material quickly. )
Careful reading
Task 4

Black people’s problem:
Life after meeting Mandela:Mandela’s help:________support for Mandela:__________
(students get the details of the passage by reading carefully.)
Further reading
Task 5 What’s the relationship between Elias and Mandela?friends,help each other
(Purpose of my design:Enable students to understand the given material better using different reading skills)
Step4 post-reading(13mins)
1 group work:have an interview.
Student A :a reporter ;Student B:Elias.
You may ask questions like this:
1)when did you first meet Mandela?How did he help you?...
2 Discussion:
What qualities does Mandela have?What can we learn from him?
(The task aims to consolidate the information they have learnt and also improve speaking and writing skills.At the same time,they will see what makes a great person and what kind of person they should be.)
Step 5 summary(1mins)
Today we have talked a lot about the qualities of great people.From Elias’ story we also know more about Mandela and racial discrimination.Mandela played an important role in fighting for the equality of the black and white.He is really a great man.
Step6 Homework
Read the passage and retell the passage
Pay attention to the new words and phrases；underline the difficult sentences
(I think homework is so important that the Ss should speak English as much as they can in class or after class. It is necessary for the Ss to do some exercises after class to master the knowledge they learned. )
Part3 Blackboard Design
Pre-reading
guessing
basic information about Mandela
while reading

1940__1946__1948__1952__

Post reading

(the blackboard design can help students master the contents of the text more easily)
Anyway, the teaching of this lesson aims to
1、Make the students be free to talk about great people
2、Understand the reading passage and know more about Mandela and his spirit.
3、Improve the students’ reading and speaking skills.
The above is the design of my lesson. Thank you very much!
