本模块以谈论中外伟人和他们的著作为话题，要求学生听懂、读懂有关评价名著的对话，同时正确掌握被动语态的基本结构以及一般现在时的被动语态。
三、教学对象分析
１、本学期学生已经进入初三的学习，有了前两年扎实的基础，对于一定的文学常识也会有所了解，因此，关于孔子、莎士比亚及马克吐温的讨论也应该会顺利展开；
２、初次接触被动语态的学习，学生在对其感悟的基础上会试着想去尝试在表达中使用它，这恰好符合了听说课的特点，教师应多为学生创造练习和展示的机会；
３、学生还需要教师在学习策略和情感态度方面的给予规范和引领。

五、教学过程（英语）
Step 1. listening(Ex2)
活动1：学生看大屏幕上的三张图片，并讨论。
Look at the photo of the three great men and talk about them, such as “Who is he?”“What did he do?”“What’s his most famous works?”
[设计意图]通过多媒体把课文中所要介绍的人物直观反映给学生，可以深深吸引学生的注意力，让他们产生了强烈的求学欲望。
活动：学生听录音，做下面的连线题。
look at the information about the three great men, match the name according to what you hear.
Confucius great British writer Adventures of Tom Sawyer Britain 1835 thoughts
Shakespeare best-known writer his thoughts in Lunyu China 552 B.C. stories
Mark Twain thinker influenced us Hamlet US 1564 play&poem
提到Confucius的时候，可以跟学生提及听力对话中的一句话，the thought that parents and grandparents are highly respected in China is from him. 以便学生了解respect的意思和用法。
[设计意图]以听力做为导入和热身，通过听，熟悉本节课要涉及到的三个重要人物以及相关的文学常识。热身之余，让学生带着对文学的兴趣走进英语的世界。教师通过多媒体呈现答案，答案直观清晰。
Step 2. presentation
活动１：
T: How many important people did the dialogue mention just now? remember?
S: Yes, Confucius, Shakespeare, Mark Twain.
T: That’s right, so what do you know about Confucius now? As far as I know, he is respected in China.
S: As far as I know, he’s famous as a great thinker. (one possible version)
T: Yes, he is respected in China, and his works are still read by many people today. We’re still influenced by his thoughts.
Let the students practice like this.
[设计意图]能过对关于孔子的一个问答引出三句被动语态，因为之间是相互联系的，可以把它们放在一起供学生练习，达到熟悉被动语态的目的。同时，加入as far as的运用，使学生对本课出现的这一陌生短语有了初步的了解及使用感受。
活动２：
T: What do you know about Shakespeare?
S: As far as I know, he is a great writer, his plays are wonderful, and one of the greatest of his works is called Hamlet. (one possible version)
T: Yes, Shakespeare’s plays are seen by millions of people every year.
Let the students practice like this.
[设计意图]进一步操练被动语态的句子及as far as…。
活动３：
T: What do you know about Mark Twain?
S: As far as I know, he is one of my favourite writers. (one possible version)
T: Really? As far as I know, he was an important writer, but he isn’t known as a great thinker like Confucius.
Let the students practice like this.
[设计意图]再一次进行被动语态句式的操练，借用谈论三位伟人的话题，让学生对被动语态反复感受、运用，最终达到熟练的目的，同时也对as far as 的用法运用自如。
活动４:
(1)T: Have you read any works by them?
S: Yes, I have read…from …S: Not yet.
T: Really? Tell us something about it. T: It’s a pity. You’d better read some if you have time.
(2)T: I don’t have enough time to read all of them, what can I do?
S: (offer some of their advice)
