III. 教材分析与教材重组
1. 教材分析
本单元的主题围绕“电影”这一学生感兴趣的热门话题展开，让学生就中外名片展开讨论，发表自己对不同题材电影的观点。课文还向学生介绍了著名的影星及导演，在培养学生兴趣的同时拓展了丰富的课外知识。教会学生如何写好一篇简短而条理清晰的影评，让学生更加专业及规范地发表自己的观点。
1．1 “热身”通过四幅不同题材的电影剧照导入新课，首先让学生欣赏剧照，然后根据剧照谈论剧情，展开联想，推测电影的开头与结尾，以激发学生的学习兴趣，同时复习使用I (don’t) think... , It’s about... 诸如此类的句式。
1．2 “听力”部分的内容是有关电影演员Malcolm Langland的生平。通过记者采访与演员问答的形式，将信息传递给学生。其目的是通过听力训练学生获取“影星生平”的信息，同时复习It was...，the reason why...，等语言结构。
1．3 口语部分提供的材料是好莱坞影星Meryl Streep 和 Keanu Reeves的生平。这部分采用了“信息差”的形式，要求每名学生只读其中一篇材料，然后通过向对方提问了解另一篇材料的内容。这种活动的设计，从听说两方面着手，有利于提高学生灵活运用语言的能力。
1.4 “读前”部分简述了Steven Spielberg早期拍电影时的一些情况，让学生想象：假如他们现在有机会拍电影的话，他们将拍什么内容的电影。教材设计有助于培养学生的发散思维，为下一步阅读做好铺垫。
1.5 “阅读”部分是一片传记体的短文，介绍当前好莱坞最有影响的导演、艺术家——Steven Spielberg的创作生涯和一些作品。学生可以从中进一步了解著名导演及其执导的几部影片，也能体验一些荧屏的模式。
1.6 “读后”部分要求学生在小组里讨论五个问题，目的在于了解学生对文章理解的程度，以及训练学生的推理能力和综合能力。另一个练习要求学生用完整的句子描述电影，训练学生写电影简介的能力。
1.7 “语言学习”分词汇和语法两部分，其中，Word Study 是根据语境在运用中掌握词汇。语法部分是关于由关系副词when, where, why引导的定语从句，和由“介词和关系代词”引导的定语从句。
1.8 综合技能分两部分。阅读部分是张艺谋导演的《一个都不能少》，作为范文。写作部分为学生整理出一个提纲，让学生学写影评。
2. 教材重组
2.1 从话题内容上分析，WARMING UP 与SPEAKING相一致；而从训练目的上分析与TALKING比较一致。从教材份量来说，可将WARMING UP，SPEAKING和Workbook中的TALKING整合在一起，设计成一节任务型“口语课”。
2.2 将LISTENING 和Workbook中的LISTENING整合在一起，设计成一节 “听力课”。
2.3 可将PRE-READING, READING和POST-READING三个活动整合在一起上一节“阅读课（一）”。
2.4 可将LANGUAGE STUDY 与Workbook中的PRACTISING语法练习题整合在一起上一节“语法课”。
2.5 可将INTEGRATING SKILLS 中Reading in Part 1,和Workbook中INTEGRATING SKILLS 的Reading整合起来上一节“阅读课（二）（泛读课）”。
2.6 将INTEGRATING SKILLS 中的Parts 2, 3, 4和Workbook中INTEGRATING SKILLS 的Writing整合成一节“写作课”。
3. 课型设计与课时分配（经教材分析，根据学情，本单元可以用六课时教完）
1st Period 口语课
2nd Period 听力课
3rd Period 阅读课
4th Period 语法课

Sa: The film E.T. is directed by Steven Spielberg. It tells a story about an alien creature. E.T. is mistakenly left behind on Earth. When a young boy, Elliott, finds him and hides him in his home, both their worlds are changed forever.
Sb: I have seen the film Saving Private Ryan, it is about the war. The war is cruel, but at last love and peace win the war.

Maggie Cheung （张曼玉）
Mini Biography:
Born on September 20, 1964 in Hong Kong. Moved at the age of 8 with her family to England, UK. Upon finishing secondary school she returned to Hong Kong where she began modeling and appearing in commercials. In 1983 she participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant for which she was awarded first runner-up. This proved not to be a detriment as she went on to become a star of both HK television and film.
Do the Warming up exercises on page 29
T: Let’s look at the pictures on page 29. They are taken from different films. Are you familiar with them? Please discuss the following questions with your partners.
(The teacher shows these questions on the screen.)
Qs:
(1) What is happening in this scene?
(2) What do you think happened before this scene?
(3) What do you think will happen after this scene?
(4) What kind of film do you think this is?
T: Are you ready to talk about these questions? Now let’s go through them one by one. First, please show your opinions about scene one.
Sa: It seems cold in the picture, so they collect wood to make fire for cooking or heating their houses.
Sb: The man looks strange, I think the film is about the future.
Sc: Another possibility is that they will use the wood to build a boat with which they try to get away from the island on which they are cast away.
T: That’s wonderful. Scene one is a science fiction film, it’s a film about the future, and it’s a fantastic film. Then, how about scene two? Does anybody know something about scene two?
Sa: We can see a dinosaur and two men in the picture. I think the dinosaur is in danger and the men will save them.
Sb: I don’t think so. I think it will then hunt the men. The men will run and try to escape.
Sc: Maybe the dinosaur will catch him and then eat him alive.
Sa: Another possibility is that an even bigger dinosaur comes and attacks this one, and while they are fighting, they forget about the man. The dinosaurs kill each other and then the men can escape.
T: Okey. That’s very good. Scene 2 is a science fiction film, it’s a film about the future, too. It’s still a fantasy film. Now let’s move to scene three. If you want to say something about scene three, please raise your hand.
Sa: I think the men will move some of the little flags on the map, and decide where and when they will attack the following day.
Sb: I agree with you. Maybe after making that decision, they will drink some wine and go to bed early to rest and prepare for the next day.
T: You said it. Scene 3 is a film made of drawings, and it’s a film based on history. Then how about scene four?
Sa: I think the woman will attack the man with the sword and then they will fight. They will jump over each other, and fly through the sky.
Sb: How exciting! First they are using the swords but later they will also fight very quickly using their hands and arms. When one of them loses, that will be the moment when the two armies attack each other.
T: You have done a good job, let me make a conclusion. Scene 4 is an animation film. And it’s also a historical film. It was directed by the famous director Zhang Yimou.
Step Ⅲ Speaking (group work)
Divide the whole class into two groups, (row 1, 3, 5, 7 are group A, row 2, 4, 6, 8 are group B)
T: Finish talking about the pictures, let’s do some oral practice. Now, turn to page 30, please look at the pictures of the two famous film stars. Does any body know who they are?
Ss: They are Meryl Streep and Keanu Reeves.
T: Yes, you are right, it’s time for group work. Now, listen to me, row 1, 3, 5, 7 are group A, please read the biography of Meryl Streep; Row 2, 4, 6, 8 are group B, please read the biography of Keanu Reeves. You should get as much information as you can, and try to use the following sentence structures.
(Show the sentence structures on the screen.)
You studied /worked/ acted at different...
What did you do next?
What made you decide to...?
What roles did you act?
(five minutes later)
T: Have you finished? Now group A please sit this side, while group B please sit that side, and you can interview each other now. First, group A please play your dialogue.
(The dialogue about interviewing Meryl Streep.)
R: Reporter M: Meryl Streep
R: Welcome to join our wonderful programme. Today in our programme, our guest is the famous actress Meryl Streep. How are you, Mrs Streep?
M: Fine, thank you.
R: Mrs. Streep, would you mind me asking some questions about your life?
M: Of course not.
R: Okey, so could you tell us something about the place where you grew up?
M: Actually, I was born in a really small village in America in 1949.
R: I know that you studied at different art schools. Could you please tell us something about the time when you were young? Did you have any dreams about the future? And what made you decide to become an actress?
M: I think I’ve always wanted to become an actress since I was a little girl. That’s why first I went to drama school after graduating from high school. And then, as a student I enjoyed acting in theatre plays.
R: What did you do after that? Were there any special reasons why you started working in film?
M: I enjoy being an actress. Film is very interesting, because you can reach so many people around the world. I also still enjoy acting in the theatre, though most of my work is for the film. Anyway, I like this job.
R: I see. Can you tell us a little bit more about your career as a film star? What roles did you act?
M: My first film was called Julia, back in 1997.Some of my favorite films were Sophie’s Choice, later on Out of Africa, and more recently, the film called The Music of the Heart.
R: Mrs Streep, thank you for this interesting talk. We hope that you can act more films.
M: I hope so, and I’ll try my best. Thank you.
T: Excellent. You have done a good job. Group B, it’s your turn to act the dialogue.
(The dialogue about interviewing Keanu Reeves.)
R: the reporter K: Keanu Reeves
R: We will be talking to Mr. Keanu Reeves in today’s show. Welcome to our talk show, Mr. Reeves.
K: It’s my pleasure.
R: Mr. Reeves, I think many people are interested in knowing the place where you grew up? Could you tell us something about that.
K: Sure. First, let me say that I’ve been very lucky with my parents. When I was born, we lived in Lebanon, where I spent my early years, after that moved to Toronto, a big city in Canada, where I grew up and went to high school.
R: How about your childhood? Please tell us something more about the time when you were young.
K: First, I want to say something about the city. Toronto was a big city. I didn’t like to go to school, so I left high school without a degree when I was 17. I started doing all kinds of small jobs to make money.
R: What made you decide to become an actor? And how did you get success?
K: I went from one small job to another. Finally, after about two years, I was asked to act in a film called Woof Boy.
R: I know. So what made you stay in the film world?
K: That’s because of my stepfather. He is a film director. I had very much enjoyed acting in Woof Boy, and two years later I moved to Hollywood, where my stepfather lived. I hoped he could help me start a career in film.
R: Can you tell us a bit more about your career? What kind of roles did you act?
K: Well, I think it wasn’t easy. I acted in many cheap films for a few years, until I was asked for a film called Speed. That was in 1994. The film was a big success and since then I have acted in more than 12 films, such as The Matrix and Hardball.
R: Mr. Reeves, thank you for this interview, and good luck with your career.
K: That’s my pleasure. Thanks.
T: Thank you for your good job. I’m very satisfied with your work. Through the dialogues we have known more information about the two famous persons clearly.
Step Ⅳ Talking (Work Books) page 109
T: It’s time to talk. Now please turn to page 110. Today’s topic is copyrights. Imagine you are on a talk show, and discuss the problem about copyrights in groups of five. First, finish the role cards, and then make a decision.
(Students are getting ready.)
T: Are you ready? Very good, let me check your work. Which group would like to make a TV talk show?
(ask one group to act it out)
Role A: an actor——A Role B: a fan——F
Role C: a shopkeeper——S Role D: a policeman——P
Role E: the host——H
H: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our talk show tonight. This time we are going to talk about copyrights in China. As we all know, for many years many people are used to buying cheap CDs, VCDs and DVDs. Especially since China joined the WTO, there has been growing concern to protect the rights of artists. Cheap DVDs often cost only six to twelve yuan, but the official price in the shops is around 65 to 70 yuan. Many people are worried that if prices are getting higher in the shops, some people will no longer be able to afford buying CDs and VCDs. F, what’s your opinion in this matter?
F: Well, I’m a film fan and I really try to keep up with all the films that come out. It usually takes some time before new films are shown on TV and cinema tickets are also getting more and more expensive. I think that DVDs should be much cheaper, because many people, like me, don’t have so much money to buy them when they are 70 yuan each.
A: I’m afraid, I don’t agree with you. Artists have to make a living, and our income comes from selling DVDs. DVDs should be sold at high prices to give some money to those who have worked hard to make the DVDs. People forget that it costs money to make the discs, the boxes. the covers and so on. Besides, not only the artist, but also the studio, the producer and the musicians must be paid. If you think about all that, then in fact, DVDs are not very expensive.
F: Well, that’s not true of course. 70 yuan is a lot of money. I have heard from my key pals that DVDs in the West cost about the same price. But of course it is much cheaper to make them in China, so that means a lot of money disappears into somebody’s packet.
A: You may be right. But I can tell you that that’s not the artist’s pocket. A lot of money goes to the shopkeeper’s.
H: S, you are a shopkeeper. What do you think about this?
S: Well, I disagree with A. Of course, shopkeepers need to make some money on the sales of discs. We have to make a living as well. A should be happy that we sell his/her work, because without our shops everywhere in China, people would not buy their discs at all. But of course I agree with F. DVDs should not be too expensive for people. I sell cheap DVDs because I know that many people would not buy them if they were much more expensive and also because it is good for my shop. If nobody can afford expensive discs, and nobody buys, I have to close my shop and I lose my job. I don’t think DVDs should be sold at higher prices because people will stop buying and perhaps start to make their own copies on their computers.
H: OK, next let’s listen to what P has to say about this matter. P, what’s your opinion?
P: Well, I’m a policeman, and of course what I person-ally think is not so important. We have made laws in our country and there are rules and agreements that we must all follow in the world. Selling cheap DVDs should be stopped because it is against the law and it’s like stealing money from the artists.
A: Exactly!
P: Besides, making and selling illegal copies of CD/DVDs of foreign artists many foreigners think in a bad way about China, so it’s important that we live by the law and international rules and agreements such as the WTO. On the other hand, the police don’t have enough time to check out all the shops in every part of China.
F: Well, of course I know that both foreign and Chinese artists should make their money, but the point is that DVDs are much too expensive. Perhaps discs should be more than ten yuan, but 70 yuan is really much too expensive. I don’t believe it is so expensive to make the discs. Many books that are published in China are also much cheaper than abroad.
S: I agree with F. I don’t think DVDs should be sold at higher prices because there are many people in China. It’s better to sell 500 discs for 20 yuan than to sell 100 for 70, isn’it? Everybody can make much more money.
H: Very well. I think we’ll have to round off the discussion. As P has explained, both Chinese law and international rules for copyrights and the WTO say that only legal copies can be sold. F and S agree that DVDs should not be sold at higher prices. They also think that more discs can be sold if the price of discs is lower because there are many people in China, and it is better to sell 500 discs for 20 yuan than to sell 100 for 70. Perhaps a price of around 25 yuan would be possible. When the prices are lower, there won’t be as many illegal copies and that is better for the society and also for economy. In fact, lower prices are good for everybody. I want to thank everybody for their contribution to this interesting discussion. Thank you, that’s all for today.
After looking at the students’ work, the teacher makes a conclusion.
T: Excellent. It’s good for you to think about the social problem.
StepⅤ Homework
