IV. Teaching procedures
Step 1 Brainstorming: stimulating reading interest
1. T plays the theme music of Harry Potter films in class.
2. T leads Ss to talk about films by answering the following three questions:
• Could you list some film types? (action, horror, cartoon, musical, comedy, romance, documentary, science fiction, fantasy, war ...)
• Look at the film posters on page 1. What type of film is shown on each poster?
• What elements of a film can you think of?
【设计意图：课前播放“哈利·波特”系列电影的主题音乐，营造气氛，为课堂主题做好铺垫。老师先寒暄几句，通过看似随意的聊天切入课堂，让一个小组的同学一个一个说出他们熟悉的电影类型，老师及时带领学生学习Welcome to the unit中有关film types的内容。接着，让另一组学生说一说电影的元素有哪些，激起全班学生的兴趣，迅速导入阅读环节。】
Step 2 Skimming: understanding the structure
T asks Ss to underline the topic ntence for each paragraph and complete the chart in A1 with the main idea of each paragraph. After Ss complete the chart, T leads them to summarize the reading strategy—skimming.
【设计意图：七夕习俗指导学生通过找主题句快速获取段落主旨，以思维导图的方式帮助学生了解语篇的宏观结构，培养学生概括段落大意的能力。】
Step 3 Careful reading: understanding the details
T asks Ss to read the lecture transcript again carefully and complete the table in A2.
【设计意图：让学生仔细阅读课文的第二、三、四段，完成A2的表格，从而帮助学生理解细节信息，同时引领学生了解段落主旨（main points）和信息支撑句（supporting ntences or examples）的联系，让学生对段落结构、语篇结构形成深刻的理解。】
Step 4 Further reading: concluding and summarizing
1. T asks Ss to answer the following questions:
• Why do you think the film critic asks a question at the beginning of his lecture? (The question rves as a hook to grab the attention of readers.)
• How does the film critic show his main points and support them? Why? (In each paragraph, there is a topic ntence, which clearly states the main point of the paragraph. The film critic us some examples of well-known films to help explain and prove his main points, thus convincing the readers.)
• How do you understand “the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making” in the last paragraph? (It means what people e on the screen is only a very small part of all the work people have done during the process of film-making. It describes the fact that a lot of work is done behind the scenes in film-making. It is a metaphor, which helps readers understand the text more easily and impress them deeply.)
2. T makes a conclusion.
T: We can e that a good lecture transcript has an attractive introduction, a clear and convincing body, and an impressive conclusion.
【设计意图：结合A2的表格，利用三个问题分析语篇的文体特征。在文章的首段，作者利用一个贴近学生生活的问题作为“引子”（a hook）来吸引读者的注意，接着在文章的主体部分，以学生们耳熟能详的著名影片作为例子（examples）来证明每段的观点（main points/topic ntences），最后，作者通过暗喻（a metaphor）这一修辞手法，总结全文，让人印象深刻，回味无穷。这一阅读任务的设置，旨在让学生学会欣赏写作技巧和语言之美，并培养学生的文学鉴赏能力和创造力。】
Step 5 Discussing: preparing for production
1. T leads Ss to think about the whole process of film-making.
(1) T asks Ss to read the lecture transcript again and answer the following question:
In film-making, when are the sound effects and the visual special effects added? And when are the props built?
(2) 纸杯传水游戏规则T shows Ss a mind map to show when the sound effects and the visual special effects are added and when the props are built during the process of film-making.
(3) T asks Ss the following question:
• What other work is needed in making a successful film? Why?
(4) T shows Ss a mind map to show some other aspects of work that needed to be done during the process of film-making.
2. T leads Ss to discuss in pairs.
规划管理
大禹神工• What conclusions can you draw from the lecture?
•参与英文 Do you support the u of CGI in films? Why or why not?
【设计意图：通过思维导图，引领学生了解电影制作的大致流程，为B2部分主题词汇（film-related jobs）的学习做好铺垫，引导学生了解一部成功的电影的“幕后”工作人员以及他们的辛勤工作，以培养学生的发散思维，让他们明白一部好的电影除了带着光环的演员和导演之外，还离不开幕后工作人员的心血和汗水，离不开团队的合作，以深化主题。然后引导学生思考电影中电脑技术在特效制作中的使用，以培养学生的批判性思维能力，也为后面板块的影评写作做好铺垫。】
