Unit 3 Travel journal

单元规划

本单元的中心话题是旅游(Travel)，通过旅游日记的方式描述旅行见闻。具体涉及旅游所需的准备工作（包括精神与物质准备），以及选择安排旅游时间、景点、路线、交通工具等。语言技能和语言知识等都是围绕旅游(Travel)这一中心话题展开的。

为了围绕中心话题开展听、说、读、写活动，本单元安排了八个部分：“热身(Warming Up)”“读前(Pre-reading)”“阅读(Reading)”“理解(Comprehending)”“语言学习(Learning about Language)”“语言运用(Using Language)”“小结(Summing Up)”和“学习建议(Learning Tip)”。

而在本节课中选取的是“阅读（Reading）”部分。这是JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG（湄公河旅行游记）的第一部分THE DREAM AND THE PLAN（梦想与计划），王坤用第一人称讲述了他和王薇梦想沿湄公河骑自行车旅行，并为之作准备的过程。主要目的是通过阅读培养学生略读、跳读、根据上下文猜测词义等阅读技巧，并使学生了解湄公河的地理风貌，丰富他们的地理知识。

The reading passage is the first part of JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG. It gives students the background about the bike trip, especially the planning that went into it. This part also introduces students to the four young people who made the trip:Wang Kun, the writer of the journal and his sister, Wang Wei, and their cousins Dao Wei and Yu Hang. This section also introduces students to many of the geographical terms . So, the teacher can ask the students first to read quickly to get the general charachters of the passage and topic sentence of each paragraph, then read carefully to locate particular information for Exercise 1, and finally do Exercise 2. During the course of reading teaching, the teacher can not only develop students' reading ability, including skimming, scanning and further understanding, but also get the students to learn the common knowledge about travel and the Mekong River. Because there are too many new words in the reading passage, in order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading.

在教学过程中需要提前让学生阅读相关内容，查阅相关资料。学生背景知识缺乏，容易使课堂教学内容无处落脚，而提前让学生做好准备，则能使学生运用自己储备的知识更好地理解文章。
