教学过程
教学过程与方式
I. Lead in
通过一张发笑图片引出问题：what are you laughing for? What forms of humour do you know? 由此导入，来介绍以下几种常用的幽默方式：mime, verbal jokes，short sketch，crosstalk，comedy，p antomime，funny pictures, funny stories/poems, clown.
(介绍幽默方式时，先用图片来提示学生，再让学生根据图片来说出相对应的幽默形式。)
本环节设计意图：这个单元以幽默为题，需要让学生了解幽默的表现形式有哪些，并为下一步了解课文内容打下基础，因为课文介绍的就是nonverbal humour方面的大师----卓别林。
II.Pre-reading
通过guessing 小活动来引出课文要介绍的人物——卓别林。He was a great mime artist who was famous for his silent movies, such as The Gold Rush. Who was he? 然后问学生了解卓别林多少，并引出他的以下几部经典影片：Little Tramp，The Gold Rush，Modern Times, City Light.
(先出影片中的某个片段的图 片，以引导学生说出这些著名的影片。学生当然可以自由地说出更多信息。)
本环节设计意图：通过guessing导入课文主题，并通过问学生对卓别林及他出演的影片了解多少这个环节，一方面来了解学生对卓别林背景知识的了解程度，一方面提供一些基础背景知识，为下一步阅读课文做铺垫。
III. Fast Reading
提供一个关于卓别林的个人基本信息表，要求学生快速阅读全文，并在五分钟内完成这个信息表。
本环节设计意图：一方面通过限定时间完成表格的任务来训练学生的快速阅读能力，另一方面通过表格的形式来提示学生如何简单明了地总结出个人基本信息。这样无形中暗示了学生在人物描写文章中用表格形式呈现以及总结基本信息的简单明了性。
IV.Skimming
给学生五分钟时间通读全文，总结出每段的段落大意。
(对于有些难总结的段落，教师可适当提示，比如问学生这个段落的关键词是什么，或者哪句是主题句。)
Paragraph 1 Why people needed cheering up
Paragraph 2 What Charlie Chaplin’s childhood was like.
Paragraph 3 What his most famous character was like.
Paragraph 4 An example of a sad situation that he made funny.
Paragraph 5 His achievements.
本环节设计意图：通过Skimming，训练学生总结文章段落大意的能力。在这个环节，对于难以总结的段落，教师的适当提示其实也是提供学生阅读技巧的途径。并且这个环节为接下来的仔细阅读做铺垫。
V.Careful Reading
1. Paragraph 1&5
要求学生仔细阅读第一段和第五段，找出下列三个问题的答案：
1) Why do people need cheering up as Victor Hugo said?
2) What did Chaplin do to cheer people up?
3) Why is Chaplin loved and remembered by people?
设计意图：通过三个问题的设置，把第一段和第五段的主要信息提炼出来，要学生去查明。之所以把第一段和第五段放在一块，一方面是因为这两段内容都不多，分开阅读浪费时间;另一方面是因为第一段和最后一段都是全文总括性的对于卓别林的介绍。
2. Paragraph 2
Read Paragraph 2 carefully and then finish the chart.
本环节设计意图：通过表格形式，简单明了地提炼出这段的主要信息，也让学生对于这个段落的内容结构有所了解。
3. Paragraph 3
Give a description on “The Little Tramp”and judge the following statement:
People like the character “the little tramp” because he was a social failure.
(为了更形象直观地让学生了解流浪汉的形象，教师特意用了图片展示出“流浪汉”的外形特征，这样要求学生不看书，根据图片来描述。
本环节设计意图：这段主要介绍卓别林塑造的一个典型形象---流浪汉。所以要求学生根据图片来描述流浪汉的外形特征不但感官上直接，也训练了学生口头描述的能力，而后面陈述句的正误判断则进一步让学生深入理解“流浪汉”这个角色受观众喜爱的原因以引发学生深入理解和思考卓别林所塑造的人物形象。
4. Paragraph 4
分两个部分来布置任务：
一、要求学生根据文章内容找出《淘金热》下列信息：
Time :
Place :
Job in the film :
Were they fortunate enough to find the gold?
What troubles did they meet in California?
二、将卓别林吃皮鞋的过程按正确顺序排列一下。
1.Cut off the leather top of the shoe
2.Pick out the laces and eat them
3.try cutting and eating the bottom of the s hoe
4.Treat it as if it were the finest meat
5.Sit down at the table
答案 52143
然后 播放该片段给学生看。
本环节设计意图：通过这些信息填写，回答问题及排列顺序的任务逐步充分让学生了解该段内容，并通过视频的播放让学生直观感受《淘金热》中卓别林的杰出表演。
VI.Interview
Work in pairs. Imagine that you are Charlie Chaplin, and your partner is a journalist from 21st Century. Make an in terview according to the reading passage.
本环节设计意图：通过采访活动，让学生更进一步熟悉文章并训练学生综合运用语言的能力。
VII . Discussion
Divide the students into groups and ask them to discuss the following questions in groups:
What does humour mean? Is humour always ki nd? What’s behind fun? What can we learn from Charlie Chaplin?
(要求学生以小组为单位先进行讨论交流，再选出发言人来代表小组表述意见。)
本环节设计意图：通过讨论活动，一方面增强学生用英语相互交流的能力，一方面让学生深入思考幽默背后的内涵以及从卓别林大师身上学到的知识和人生道理。
VIII.Conclusio n
Laughing is better than medicine. ---- Jewish saying
Humour is everywhere in our daily life. I hope you can be optimistic(乐观) no matter what difficulties you meet , just as Charlie Chaplin was.
本环节设计意图：总结全文，升华思想，对学生进行情感价值教育。
