教学设计（teaching designs）
教学内容 教学实施建议 教学资源参考
pre-reading  要学好本课,建议老师在这个阶段完成以下两个任务:
 让学生讨论然后描述图片上的故事。人们会去哪里举行婚礼，喜欢什么样的婚礼。
 布置学生课外去收集有关本课主题的资料，讲讲各种新奇和不同寻常的婚礼。还可以了解世界各地的婚礼风俗，为进入课文学习作好铺垫。
［具体处理这部分内容的建议见[链接1,2]
 中学英语合作网
《牛津英语教学参考》page 39
while-reading  这是本课的重点部分.要求学生了解策划完美婚礼的整个过程，需要做哪些事情。
 通过picture (课本p41)和skimming （同上）了解策划完美婚礼的步骤。
 scanning 部分要求找公司名称，公司电话，公司经营的主题使学生熟悉课文。这部分建议学生通过找段落，找细节（具体内容）来完成。
 问学生，小方框里是什么内容？本文的用意是什么？
  通过引导，如每个方框内有wedding一字，让学生知道是六个与婚礼用品及服务的广告，其目的无非为了吸引顾客，从而赚钱。
 
post-reading  安排学生讨论：what else do you think is needed for planning a perfect wedding? are people prepared to get married?   同时推荐学生阅读补充材料：见链接4

说明：
本部分建议采用任务型阅读教学方法。通过略读、扫读、细读等不同手段来提高学生的阅读理解能力，从而培养学生的阅读技巧。
teaching procedures
step one
 students’ picture talk.
 ask students to speak out some other forms of wedding they know from newspapers or tv  and in what places can people get married.
step two
 skimming
  skim the text and do ex a1 and a2， at the same time learn about the new words in this section.
  questions for the students to consider and answer
1. what are the six short pieces of writing in the boxes?
2. what is the purpose of each one?
3. which word can you find in each one?
4. what are the writer’s aims in this passage?
5. how does the writer try to make the topic more interesting?
6. can you find any connections between the main passage and the other pieces of writing?

 scanning
scan all the texts quickly and find the information needed to complete the table.课本p40.
教师在进行这一部分练习时，不仅锻炼学生查找信息的速度，而且能培养其生活能力。通过这个练习还使学生知道课文与广告之间的联系。
it is shown that there are links between the passage and the ads. the writer is helping to support the advertisers by suggesting that you need their services if you want to have a perfect wedding. thus we could say that the passage itself is also a piece of advertising.
