1、Part 1 Teaching Design第一部分 教学设计Period 1 A sample lesson plan for reading(WHO AM I?)Introduction In this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to understand how computer works. Then they will be helped to read a narration about computer and its development. Three examples of “Wa

Objectives To help students learn to make decisions and to reason in English To help students learn to read an introduction about computer To help students better

Then what is a computer?A computer is a machine which keeps knowledge in its memory and does work on that knowledge. This knowledge is kept in symbols; it is called data. A computer usual

8、ng to know what a computer virus is.Computer viruses (病毒)are small software programs that are planned to spread from one computer to another and to do harm to computer operation. A virus might harm or wipe out data on your computer, using your e-mail program to spread itself to other computers.Virus
9、es are most easily spread by e-mail messages. That is why it is important that you never open e-mail unless you know who its from and you are expecting it.Viruses can be made to look like funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files.Viruses also spread through downloads on the Internet. Th

11、ents. 2. Pre-reading by talking about how computer works How does a computer work?A computer has four main parts: the arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), the control unit, the memory, and the input and output devices (collectively termed I/O). These parts are interconnected by groups of wires. The cont
12、rol unit, ALU, registers, and basic I/O (and often other hardware closely linked with these) are collectively known as a central processing unit (CPU). Early CPUs were comprised of many separate components but since the mid-1970s CPUs have typically been constructed on a single integrated circuit ca

Pay attention to the pauses, pronunciation and intonation of the native reader.4. Reading aloud and underlining expressionsNow we are to read the tex

Reading to get the general idea of the Type of writing and summary of WHO AM I?Type of writing This is a piece of narrative writing.Main idea of the passage It tells about the birth and development of computer.Topic sentence of 1st paragraph I began as a calculating machine in 1642 in

Retelling the text Try to retell the text in your own words with the help of the flow chart or “the Type of writing and summary
19、 of WHO AM I?” above. A retold version of the text WHO AM I?I, the computer, was a calculating machine in 1642 in France. Then I was built as an Analytical Machine in 1822. I became a “universal machine” in 1936, the size of a large room. After that I was made smaller and smaller. Getting new transi
20、stors in 1960s I became clever and quicker. I was connected with other computers and turned out to part of a network in the early 1960s. Then I began talking to humans using BASIC in the early 1960s. In 1970s I was brought into peoples homes, and came the Internet.8. Closing down by doing a quizFill
21、 in the blank with one word to complete the summary of the text.In order to understand how a computer really 1 _ , we first have to examine what it really means for a system or device to be “digital“. All being digital 2 _ is that a system stores and operates on information in a very specific 3 _. I
22、n a digital system, every piece of information is stored in a bit (or multiple collections of bits). A bit is a variable 4 _ can have only one of two values: it can either be a 1, or be a 0. The easiest 5 _ to think of a bit is as a container - this container is either completely 6 _ or completely e
23、mpty, but never anything in between. A full container can be thought of as a 1, 7 _ empty container as a 0. The beauty of this is that any piece 8 _ information can be represented as a collection of bits. The way this is done is by making each bit the 9 _ to a yes or no question. For example, lets s
24、ay I wanted to know whether a person has long hair 10 _ not. I could represent this piece of information by deciding that if the 11 _ has long hair, I will set a certain bit to be a 1. If the person doesnt have long hair, I will 12 _ that same bit to be a 0. As long as you followed the same conventi
25、on, you could look at the 13 _ bit that I just set and know whether the person has long hair or not, even if you had 14 _ seen them before.(Keys: 1 works 2 means 3 way 4 that 5 way 6 full 7 an 8 of 9 answer 10 or 11 person 12 set 13same 14 never)Work out the word and structure questions.1.
