step i step i lead-in
the teacher shows some pictures on screen. these pictures are from the world exhibition or exposition(简称world expo世界博览会）
ask the students to choose one of them to describe it
     
  

step ii  warming up
t: let’s look at the  pictures on p33. these are four pictures of different parks — a garden in suzhou, hyde park in london, world waterpark in canada, disneyland. what kind of parks are they?
s1: i think a garden in suzhou is a place when people have a walk in their spare time to enjoy the beautiful trees, flowers, lakes, stones, buildings and relax themselves.
t: what about hyde park in london? what kind of park is it?
s2: hyde park is a famous park in the world, so i’ve read it in magazines. it is the most well-known park in london. it used to be a hunting park for the royal family in the 18th century. now it is open to the public and people can enjoy themselves there with the various activities, including horse-riding. it’s best-known for the speaker’s corner where people can make speeches and express their view points freely.
t: very good. so what about world waterpark in canada?
s3: i haven’t heard of this park before. i guess it is a park where people can take part in all kinds of activities in water.
t: good guessing. and i am sure all of you have heard of disneyland.
s4: yes, it is the oldest theme park in the world and i think it is the most popular park in the world too. in the disneyland, people can not only enjoy the exciting activities there, but also get close to the life-size cartoon characters like the mickey mouse and donald duck, which appear in some of walt disney’s famous cartoon films. luckily for us, a new disneyland is being built in hong kong, so a few years later, we will have the chance to go and experience the excitement of this wonderful place in the world.
t: which one of these parks would you like to visit most if you have the chance?
sa: of course i would go to disneyland. i have watched so much about it on tv and i’ve been dreaming about shaking hands with those lovely cartoon characters and taking pictures with them.
sb: i would like to go to waterpark, because i like swimming and i like to take part in the activities in water in this park.
sc: i would go to hyde park. i want to go horse-riding, and above all, have the experience of making a speech in front of a crowd of people like a president. that’ll be really exciting.

step iii  speaking
ask students to talk something about disneyland
1. the 8 theme parks of disneyland
2. which one would you like to visit?
background information:
disneyland
few places of entertainment on earth have garnered as much wonder, legend, or controversy as disneyland, the walt disney company amusement park, which was the first large-scale implementation of disney approach to fantasy, story, and crowd control.
 places of family amusement are not new in the world, and there has certainly grown a science to them not unlike that of keeping a travelling circus intact, or maintaining national parks. but more than those who came before them, disney and his creative team focused on the presentation of disneyland, ensuring that it would be as controlled and predictable a fiction as their movies, records and television shows had been up to that point.
 walking into disneyland is like an entering the sweeping shot of a fantasy movie, with a town square reaching forward to a breathtaking castle. every aspect of the park was said to be planned ahead with the energy of one of the disney animated features, with artists from various productions brought in to work on the look and style of the place. actors from many disney features appear as the voices of birds, announcers and narrators in the park. but all this wonder hides how extensive the disney planning really is.
 when you enter disneyland, you are actually on the top floor of a giant complex of underground facilities, providing most of the "heart and health" of the park with security, employee facilities, garbage collection and other important administrative aspects all hidden from view. you don’t see garbage stacked outside disneyland waiting to be picked up, and you never see an employee shuffling out to the lot after a long day. the park has even developed its own nomenclature to insulate gritty details from the public; a protein spill is the code that a child’s vomit needs to be mopped up.
 it is said that walt disney planned the park to the point of the placement of wastebaskets. he supposedly took a snack that might be purchased at a stand, walked until he finished it, and decreed that no trashcan would be further than that distance from any other. there are few places outside of las vegas where such grandiose and breathtakingly anal plans would be taken seriously, both in implementation and in believing that such forethought existed. and las vegas was nowhere near disneyland’s level for years.
 this has caused such urban legends as the “disney tapes”, where walt disney was said to have left film loops to be played after his death for several years, his forward-thinking genius so amazing he could predict what would be awaiting the company in the ensuing years; this is actually a core part of isaac asimov’s foundation series of novels, and not the real case. it is thought that promotional films that disney made before his death regarding epcot and other projects were the source of this rumor.

 迪斯尼世界以其独有的魅力，每天都吸引着成千上万来自世界各地的游客，彩车游行，旧日的街道，迪斯尼动画中的形象，古老的童话传说，惊险刺激的游戏，未来世界的梦想，所有的一切让人流连忘返，无论成人还是孩子，都会被它深深地吸引，一次又一次地踏入迪斯尼乐园的大门。
 美国所有的迪斯尼乐园几乎一模一样，都是由八个主题园区构成，分别为：
 美国主街区(main street u.s.a)
 新奥尔良广场(new orleans square)
 万物家园(frontierland)
 荒野地带(adventureland)
 欢乐园(fantasyland)
 米奇童话城(mickey’s toontown)
 未来世界(tomorrowland)
 游人尽可以根据自己的兴趣来选择各个园区，要是想把整个迪斯尼乐园都游览一遍的话，最少要花上三天时间，如果只是走马观花地看一下，可以选择坐迪斯尼的游园小火车。那是一种小小的红色无轨火车，车头的是老式的蒸汽式样，非常可爱，它会带游人绕行全部的地方，招手上车，随时下车，方便快捷。

step ii  discovering useful structures (p36)
t: let’s come to discovering useful structures on page 36.
in this part, the teacher should tell the students the formation of the english words.
a) some english words are made by joining two words together, sometimes with a hyphen “-”, this is called compounding.
eg. fantasyland, english-speaking, blackboard, play-ground, reading-room, passer-by , etc.
b) some english words are made by changing the form of a word you know—adding some letters to the beginning or the end of a word. this is called derivation.
eg. agree—disagree, fair—unfair, correct—incorrect, nation—national, farm—farmer, etc.
c) some english words are made by changing the part of speech of a word you know. this is called conversion.
eg. taste (v.) taste (n.), hand (n.) hand (v.), clean (adj.) clean (v.), etc.
t: let’s fill in the forms of part 2 and part 3 with the correct words. then tell me which type of word formation they show us.
3 minute later, teacher checks the answers with the whole class.

let the students do these exercises by themselves first, then check the answers with the whole class to consolidate word formation.
step iv  homework
do part 3 on p70-71 in your workbook and hand it in tomorrow.
附：
构词法   构词法是组成单词的一种方法,它有其清晰严谨的结构形式,本身有规律可循。利用构词法记忆单词,可以记忆成串、举一反三。
 英语最基本的构词法有三种:派生(derivation),合成(compounding)和转化(conversion)。
派生   派生法(也称词缀法),即由一个词根加上前缀或后缀,构成另一个单词的构词法。添加在词根前面的构成部分叫前缀,它一般不改变原词的词性,只改变其词义。添加在词根后面的构成部分叫后缀,它改变了原词的词性,有时也改变其词义。如:
 以形容词happy(幸福的)为词根,加前缀un-就是其反义词unhappy(不幸的);
 加后缀-ly,就是其副词形式happily(幸福地);
 加后缀ness,就是其名词形式happiness (幸福)。
 同样还可以得到unhappily和unhappiness。
 再如:
 动词care(关心),加后缀-ful,就是其形容词形式careful(细心的),接着再加上后缀-ly,就是其副词形式carefully(仔细地);如果在care后加-ness,就是其名词形式carefulness(小心);在它的后边再加上-less,就是careful的反义词careless(粗心的),如果在careless后加后缀-ly,就是其副词形式carelessly(粗心地),在careless后加后缀-ness,就是careless的名词形式carelessness(粗心) 。
 前缀、后缀是构词的要素,具有一定的作用和意义。懂得了前后缀的含义,就容易了解由前(后)缀和词根结合而成的单词的意义。现把英语中我们常见的前后缀列举如下:
1)前缀
anti-反对: antisocial反社会的
auto-自: automobile小汽车, autonomy自治
bi-双: biannual 一年两次的, bicycle自行车
by-在旁:bystander 旁观者, by-product副产品
co- 同: co-operation合作, co-existence共处, co-worker同事
counter-反:counter-attack反攻, counter-revolutionaryxx的
dis-否定,除去: discover发现, disorder混乱,杂乱
en-使成为: enable使能够, enslave奴役, encourage鼓励
extra-外: extraordinary非常的,格外的
for-,fore-,先,前,预: forward向前, foresee 预见, forearm前臂, foretaste先尝
for-禁,弃: forbid禁止, forget忘记, forgo放弃
in-, il-, im-, ir- 不,非: informal非正式的, incomplete不完全的, indefinite不定的, illegal非法
的, immoral不道德的, irregular不规则的
inter-间,相互: internationalism国际主义, interview会见
micro-微: microscope显微镜, microfilm微型胶片
mid-中: midday 中午, midnight夜半, mid-autumn中秋的
mis-误: misunderstand 误会, misuse误用, misfortune不幸
non-非,不: non-moral非道德范围内的, nonsense胡言, nonexistent不存在的
post-后于: postwar战后的
pre-先于: prewar战前的
re-重,再,复: rewrite重写, return返回, review复习
super-上,超: superman超人,supermarket 超级商场
tele-远: telephone电话, telescope望远镜, television电视
un-不: unable不能的, unimportant不重要的, untrue不真实的
vice-副:vice-chairman副主席, vice-premier副总理
