本单元以Aerian literature为话题,通过诗歌欣赏，判断学作品主题和阅读学名著等学习方式，使学生对美国学的特点以及发展历史和现状有一定的认识和了解，并能用已有的关于美国的历史、政治、化等方面的知识判断和描述一部学作品的主题、内容梗概和写作方法；能够运用所学的语言知识和技能听懂以对话形式对学俱乐部举行的某些

活动的评论，如成功和失败之处、优点和缺点所在等；并能用英语谈论美国学作品，包括判断主题、分析写作特点、讨论作品主人公的个性、总结中心思想等，并对作品加以评论。

11 ARING UP 用一首小诗激发学生对美国学进一步了解的兴趣，并使学生对美国黑人的诗歌有一个初步认识。它既呈现了本单元的中心话题—Aerian literature，又以回答问题的形式帮助学生以这首小诗为线索去探究美国学的特点，为以后关于“Aerian literature”的进一步听、说、读、写的学习打下基础。

12 LISTENING 包括两个部分。第一部分中要求学生在“听”之前谈论一下自己在英语角或英语俱乐部所参加过的活动以及他们的感受和经历；或者听说过的、更有趣的英语活动和学习途径，为下一步的“听”作充分的准备。第二部分是一篇对话，Ben, Ann and Lil正在为俱乐部组织一次英语活动。该部分设置的问题是：分析本次活动成功的原因和一次英语角活动不成功的原因，有一定难度。通过这项任务的完成，培养学生抓住听力材料中的要点信息、同时加以分析和总结的能力。 13 SPEAING 是一项对话练习，内容是根据所给出的四幅图片，运用已有的关于美国的历史知识去判断每幅图片有可能表达的一部学作品的主题是什么。这项设计的特点是：①让学生使用有关谈论学作品的特点、人物以及故事发生的时间、地点等方面的语言交流自己对某些学作品看法和观点；②丰富学生谈论学作品的语言，包括词汇和句型等；③激发学生对美国学的兴趣，并加深对美国学的了解，为今后喜爱阅读更多的美国学作品的原著打下初步的基础。

14 PRE-READING是READING的热身活动。设计了两个任务供学生实践和完成。第一项任务是：通过略读的方法快速获取信息并推断故事情节的进一步发展。第二项任务是：用浏览的方式在中快速找出特定的信息用以回答问题。

1 READING 是一部短篇小说，节选自美国著名短篇小说家欧•亨利的著名短篇小说《麦琪的礼物》。讲述了一对穷困的年轻夫妇为互赠圣诞礼物而忍痛卖掉引以自豪的长发和怀表，却换了不再起作用的发梳和表链的故事，反映了美国下层人民生活的艰难和辛酸，赞美了主人公善良的心地和相濡以沫的爱情。情节生动，构思巧妙，笔简短而精练，结局出人意料。

16 PST-READING 部分设计了三类任务，其中第一类是针对的理解，评价学生对理解的程度 (Exx1—4) ；第二类是要求学生以根据做出的正误判断题为线索写一篇描述德拉的短 (Ex) ；第三类任务要求学生根据已知的故事情节推断小说后半部分的故事情节将会怎样发展 (Ex6) 。后两项任务具有很大的灵活性和挑战性。

17 LANGUAGE STUD 分为词汇和语法两项。词汇部分帮助学生学习用适合的形式和意义使用词汇和短语，旨在培养学生运用英语词汇和短语的能力。语法项目是复习动词的各种时态。

18 INTEGRATING SILLS 包括读和写两部分。该部分是READING的续篇。在这部分中，小说的故事情节有了戏剧性的发展和出乎意料、却又在情理之中的结局。该部分的教学重点是分析的写作特点和表现手法并启发学生细心体会作者是如何以学作品为载体去表达一个深

刻的思想内涵的。写作部分的任务有两项：一是根据所给出的四幅图片描写本篇小说的故事情节；二是写一篇这部小说的摘要并对此加以评论以提高学生的写作能力。 2 教材重组

21 从话题内容上分析，ARING UP 和SPEAING 以及rb中的TALING比较一致; 将这三部分整合在一起，设计成一节任务型“口语” 从教材份量说也比较适当。

22 无论从话题内容上分析，还是从训练目的上分析，LISTENING与rb中的LISTENING都相一致；因此，可将两个LISTENING整合在一起，设计成一节 “听力”。

23 将PRE-READING, READING和PST-READING三个活动整合在一起设计成一节“阅读（一）”。

24 根据本单元的特点（INTEGRATING SILLS 中的READING是READING的续篇），将 INTEGRATING SILLS 中的READING和RITING整合成“阅读（二）”紧接第三时。

2 将 LANGUAGE STUD 与rb中的PRATISING部分整合在一起，组成一节“语法”。

26 将 rb 中INTEGRATING SILLS 的READING（泛读）“以及RITING整合成一节“泛读与写作”。
