这是一份2021学年Unit 4 Space Exploration教案设计，共4页。


The tpic f the part is “Learn abut the develpment f space explratin”.
The sectin is space explratin. The article mainly tells the readers abut the develpment f space explratin. Because it needs high technlgies and vercme high risks and great difficulties, it has becme the cmmn career f humankind. As Neil Armstrng said, “That’s ne step fr a man, ne giant leap fr humankind.” In the Listening & Speaking & Talking, it talks abut the the prgress f China’s space explratin. This part will intrduce the prgress f Russia’s and America’s space explratin, and China has als made great prgress in space explratin and became the third cuntry in the wrld t independently send humans t space in 2003, which helps activate students’ passin fr their mtherland.
Cncretely, the first paragraph is t lead in the tpic by intrducing the peple’s interest in the space. The secnd paragraph mainly tells the achievement that USSR and America made. The third paragraph explains the desire alive althugh there has been sme big disasters f space explratin. The furth paragraph abut China’s prgress. The last ne abut the future is still bright. The article intrduces the develpment f space explratin, s it is rganised by timeline r time rder, which is helpful fr students t find the detailed infrmatin.
1. Fast reading t get detailed infrmatin accrding the timeline; careful reading t summarise the main idea.
2. Learn the reading skills--finding the timeline and summarizing the main idea by finding the wrds r ideas.
3. Have a passin fr ur cuntry and be prud f the space explratin.
4. Critical think the space explratin.
Fast reading t get detailed infrmatin accrding the timeline; careful reading t summarise the main idea.
2. Learn the reading skills--finding the timeline and summarizing the main idea by finding the wrds r ideas.
Step 1 Lead in---Small talk

4. D yu knw the name f the experiment ? Space experiment f water drp water ball
Step 2 Befre reading---Predict the cntent
Space: the final frntier
Chinese meaning: 太空：最后的边境
Frntier: the brder, which might mean the human’s recgnitin edge r explratin edge.
Frm the title and the pictures and the title, we can knw that the article might be abut the develpment f space explratin. It bradens us human’s recgnitin edge r explratin edge. S it is an expsitin.
Step 3 While reading ---Task 1
