Teaching Goals: 1. To know something about computers. 2. To learn and talk about computers. Teaching Procedures: Step 1. Leading-in Purpose: To activate the Ss and arouse them to talk about the importance of computers in modern society. Ask Ss whether they have a computer or not and what they use it for. Let them talk as much as possible. Step 2. Warming Up Purpose: To get Ss to think about the different ways computers can be made. Pair work Get Ss to look at the following pictures, and then ask them to answer the questions. A huge computer A PC A notebook computer A calculator
An abacus 1. What are they 2. What do they have in common? 3. What is a computer? Suggested answer 1. a huge computer, a personal computer, a notebook computer, a calculator, an abacus 2. (1)to be used to calculate (2)operate by human beings; ()they are all artificial (4 )show figures in a certain way 3. A computer is a machine which stores knowledge in its memory and does calculations on that knowledge. This knowledge is stored in symbols; it is called data A computer usually has a monitor to show results. However, some computers can speak; these computers can be used for voice mai A computer is now almost al ways an electronic device. It usually contains materials which are toxic; these materials will become toxic waste when disposed of. When a new computer is purchased in some places, laws require that the cost of its waste management must also be paid for. This is called product stewardship Step 3. Pre-reading Purpose: To activate Ss interest about computers Group work Ask Ss the following questions and encourage them to say more 1. How have computers changed our lives 2. What do you know about computers? Suggested answers 1. They re a much more useful and humane tool than the phone, and with corporate America behind them the networks will be everywhere--- changing our lives more than any technology since the automobile 2. A multi-function electronic device that can execute instructions to perform a task a device that accepts information, processes it, and supplies an output. A computer usually contains memory, a control unit, arithmetic and logical units, and a means for input and output a programmable hardware component that is controlled by internally stored programs and that can perform substantial computations(including arithmetic and logic operations) without human intervention. A computer typically consists of one or more processing units, memory nits, and associated peripheral input and output devices

Step 4. Reading 1. Skimming Purpose: 1. To get a brief understanding of the text 2. To train the students' listening ability First, let Ss skim the text and then listen to the recording of the text. Pay attention to the pauses and pronunciation. Purpose: To get Ss to have some details in the text Now we are to read the text again and underline all the expressions in the text. Write them down in your notebook 3. Further reading Purpose: To get Ss to get more details about the text Read the text again and find the information to complete the table, which describes the development of computer 1642: 1822: The Analytical Machine was made by Charles Babbage. 1940s: The first family of computers was connected to each other. 1970s Step 5. Retell Purpose: To have a deep understanding of the text Ask Ss to use the chart above to retell the development of the computer One possible version L, a computer, was a calculating machine in 1642 in France. Then I was built as an Analytic Machine in 1822. which was a technological revolution. I became a"universal machine " in 1936 to solve any mathematical problem. I was not very big at first then I became huge, the size of a arge room before I was made smaller and smalle Getting new transistors, later very small chips I changed my shape. I was connected with other computers and turned out to part of a network in the early 1960s. In 1970s I was brought into people's homes, and came the Internet Step 6. Homework 1. Write a short passage about the development of computers 2. Finish Exl (P19), Ex2 (P20) Period 2 Language points Step 1 Word study Group work Divide Ss into four groups and ask them to discuss the following words
