Unit4BehindbeliefsWordpowerThoughtsonthedesign:本节课是以看,说,读为主的词汇教学课。而且这部分学习的词汇都不是要求会应用掌握的考纲词汇,着重通过这课时的学习,熟悉五大宗教体系中最基本的宗教词汇,并且掌握并了解宗教词汇在现代英语中的活用,不仅仅是宗教里本身的含义。也是从学生熟悉的场景开始引入中国的佛教圣地寺庙,然后介绍了伊斯兰教中的清真寺以及其他宗教中的主要活动场所。通过这样的导入,让学生学会横向比较五种宗教的方法。然后去阅读课文上的短文,总结归纳其中的要点,边分析要点,边了解宗教文化的异同点,完成书上表格练习。然后再次提到学生已经很熟悉的圣经,从例句中帮助学生理解Bible这个单词在现代英语中的新意。由此学习更多书上的宗教词汇,和补充练习其他宗教词汇的一词多意。Teachingaims:Afterlearningthissection,thestudentswillbepresenteddifferentexpressionsrelatedtoreligiousandsomereligiouswords.TheywillreadapassageaboutreligionsaroundtheworldandthenlearnsomereligiousexpressionsthatareusedineverydayEnglishwithoutreligiousmeaning.Exercisesaredesignedforstudentstopracticeandreinforcethenewvocabularytheyhavejustlearnt.Studentsareexpectedtomakethemselvesfamiliarwiththeexpressionsrelatedtoreligion.Teachingprocedures:Step1Lead-in1.HolyplacesofdifferentreligionsShowstudentspicturesoftemplesofBuddhism.TemplesareagoodchoiceforBuddhiststoworshipin,andwheredootherreligiouspeoplegotoworship?(Possibleanswer:Muslimssayprayersfivetimesaday.Theyprayinabuildingcalledmosque.)2.IntroductionofmosqueWhatarethearchitecturalfeaturesofamosque?(Possibleanswer:Thearchitectureofmosqueisunique.ItisbasedonMuslimtraditionsandusesofthemosque.)ItissaidthatthefirstmosquewasbuiltbasedonthestructureofMuhammad’shouseinthecityofMedina.Basically,amosqueconsistsofacourtyard,adomedhallandafountain.Beforeprayer,peopleneedtowashthemselvesinthefountainandthentheycanworshipinthecourtyardorthehallfacingtheholycityofMecca.ThewallfacingMeccaiscalledqibla.Itisnotallowedtodrawhumanformsinthemosque,soallthedecorationsappearasshapessuchascirclesandsquares.3.OtherplacesforworshipShowpicturesandintroduce.Christiansworshipinachurch.Jewsprayinasynagogueandrest.HindusworshipataHindutemple.[Explanation]这个步骤是本课时的导入部分。从学生已经熟悉的中国佛教寺庙谈起,学生已经知道寺庙是佛教徒参拜和活动主要场所,由此引出其他宗教的活动场所的小结。并分析存在的共性。这样的导入对下面要阅读的短文起了很好的引导作用。Step2Religionsaroundtheworld1.CommonfeaturesTherearesomanybeliefsorreligions,whatelsedoyouthinkthattheyhavesomethingincommon?(Possibleanswer:1.Differentfromsuperstition,whichhasnocentralbeliefs.2.Encouragepeopletodogood.3.Haveapowertocallonpeopletodevotethemselvestothatreligion.4.Sometimesrestrictiveorjudgmentalofpeople’slives.5.Helppeoplelivetheirlivesinapositiveway.6.Motivatepeopletobecompassionate,kindandloving.)2.Moreinformationaboutdifferentreligions.ReadtheshortpassageonPage54PartA.Trytofindthefollowinginformationandfillintheblanks.Whatarethemostpopularreligionsintheworld?Whatdowecallthepeoplewhobelieveinareligion?Whodopeoplebelieveineachreligion?Whatreligiousbooksdopeopleuse?Whatplacedopeopleworshipin?HinduismFoundedinIndia,4,500yearsagoBelieverscalledHindusWorshipdifferentgodsVedasasthereligionsbookStrictrulestobefollowedWorshipatatempleBuddhismBegan2,500yearsagoBelieversarecalledBuddhistsThereligiousbookknownasBuddhistscripturesWorshipinatempleJudaismBeganover2,000yearsagoTheTorahasthereligiousbookTheJewishSabbathonSaturdayWorshipi...
