Ss:Yes.
T:Would you have done what she did if you had the chance?
Ss share their views.
T:What can we learn from Jane Goodall?
S:We should show true love to others,as well as to animals.Everything is equal,no matter what they are.It isn’t
because we are human beings that we are superior to the animals.We don’t have the right to control the other
living things on the earth.They are our friends and relatives.The only difference is that we have different
appearances and different intelligence.Only if we show true love towards them can we make the world a better
one.
S:I admire her for her belief and personality.

make the talking of the topic quite boring and difficult.In order to arouse their interest and creation,one activity
about women of achievement is designed.
Divide the students into groups of four.Assign each group to cooperate with their group mates to do some
research on a certain woman of achievement.They are to find as much information as possible and as many
pictures as possible by reading books,surfing the Internet or even doing an interview.They are to find out in the
8project the woman’s appearance,qualities and achievements,etc.
Get the students to arrange what they have found in a well-organized order and make the information into a
courseware or a web page,with clear and vivid pictures and examples to illustrate each point.

Background Information
Women of Achievement
1.Mother Teresa(1910-1997)
Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1948.Through it,she has dedicated her life to helping
the poor,the sick and the dying around the world,particularly those in India.She founded the Kalighat Home for
the Dying and a leper colony was established under her guidance.Her selfless work has brought her many
awards,including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
2.Madame Curie (1867-1934 )
Marie Curie,a great woman scientist,was born in Poland in 1867.From her early childhood Marie loved to
study and hoped to become a scientist.Her interest in science was encouraged by her father,a teacher of physics.
In 1891,she left Poland for France and entered the University of Paris.Four years later,she graduated with the
highest grade in her class.After graduation she remained in the same university,doing scientific research work.In
order to discover something that gave off a kind of radiation,she did experiments most carefully again and
again.She failed many times,but she didn’ t lose heart.Finally in 1902,she,together with her husband,succeeded in
finding the radioactive element— radium.Owing to their achievement,the Curies received the Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1903.
In 1911,she won another Nobel Prize,this time all by herself in chemistry and thus she became the first
woman scientist to win a Nobel awards.
She died in 1934,obviously as a result of the effects of the radiations with which she worked for over 30
years.
3.Elizabeth Fry ( May 21,1780-October 12,1845)
Elizabeth Fry was a prison reformer,social reformer and philanthropist.She was born in a Quaker family on
May 21,1780.She took an interest in her teenager years in the poor,the sick,and the prisoners.In 1812 she first
visited Newgate Prison in London and was very shocked at the conditions she found there.From then on she began
to work to improve prison conditions in Britain.She supplied the women of Newgate Prison with clothes and
established a school and a chapel.In 1817 Elizabeth Fry and eleven others,formed the Association for the
Improvement of the Female Prisoners in Newgate.The next year she was invited to give evidence to a House of
Commons Committee on London Prisons.She described in detail the lives of the prisoners,and recommended that
women prisoners should be looked after by women instead of men,and stressed her belief in the importance of
useful employment.By the 1820s Elizabeth Fry and her work had become very well known in Britain.She faced
criticism and problems at various times.Elizabeth Fry’s work was very important because it started the movement
for prison improvement.Her idea was that people in prison could not change their ways and lead useful lives if
you did not give them a legal way of earning money.She aimed at changing the prisoners by educating them and
changing the way they were treated.Her work was mentioned as one of the reasons that the Quakers got the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1947 and she was remembered in Britain by being put on the new five pound note in 2000.

Tanzania.Goodall went to Tanzania and studied chimps from the 1960s.She went with three African helpers (and
her mother for the first month) to live in the Gombe National Park in East Africa.She made friends with the local
African people after setting up a clinic to help cure minor illnesses.Her life was spent following and recording the
social life and relationships of the chimps.Her supplies and the care of her base camp were managed by her
African helpers.Jane uncovered many aspects of chimpanzee behaviour during her first years in the Gombe
National Park.Because of her research,we now know that chimpanzees hunt for meat,use tools,and have different
personalities.
In 1965,Jane earned her PhD in Ethology from Cambridge University.Soon she returned to Tanzania to
continue her research and to establish a research center.Later,she became the Scientific Director of the Gombe

El Salvador) and education (Nicaragua-Honduras Education Project).In 1992 she began to organize the
International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL).As an ICBL coordinator,she has written and spoken
extensively on the problem of landmines and the movement to ban them.She worked with groups in different
countries.In 1992 she was working with six groups but by 1997 more than 1000 groups from over sixty countries
had joined ICBL.Although the organization became very large,the friendly way of organizing ICBL continued and
has proved very successful.Working in a unprecedented cooperative way with governments and other international
groups,the ICBL achieved its goal of an international treaty banning landmines during the diplomatic conference
held in Oslo in September 1997.In 1997 ICBL was given the Nobel Peace Prize and the work of Jody Williams
was recognized and rewarded.She still works for ICBL today.
7.Joan of Arc (1412-1431)
Joan of Arc was born in the small village of Domremy in France.She lived at the time when there was a war
between England and France called “The Hundred Years War”.Joan of Arc was important because she encouraged
the old French king’s son,the Dauphin,to be crowned in Rheims as the only King of France.The French people
accepted him as the true king of France.Joan also showed the French army how to win battles and inspired them
with the confidence to win.So Joan of Arc began the process by which the English left France and it became a
country in its own right.
At the time Joan lived it was considered wrong for women to fight in the army.But Joan argued that God had
spoken to her and sent her to help the French army.She said God had spoken to her through two messengers and
10they had encouraged her in her mission.When she was captured by the English,they did not believe her stories of
the messengers from God and criticized her for fighting and wearing men’s clothes.After a trial she was put to
death.She was very patriotic and did inspire the French to win against the English.She showed how brave she was
by what she did just like Hua Mulan in China.
8.Lin Qiaozhi (1901-1983)
Lin Qiaozhi was born in Xiamen in Fujian Province.Her parents were Christians and her father worked at a
university of Singapore.He believed in the education of women.Lin Qiaozhi’s mother died when she was five and
she went to live with her brother and his family.They fulfilled their father’s wishes by supporting her education
even when they could no longer support the education of their own children.At elementary school one of her
teachers noticed how quick and neat her knitting was and encouraged her to become a doctor.
1921 She entered the Peking Union Medical College.

hutongs for patients.After the war she returned to the hospital when it reopened.

them keep their babies healthy.She was very important in inspiring women to become doctors and was one of the
founders of modern gynaecology in China.She did important research and used the methods she had learned

Period 2 Learning about Language
The General Idea of This Period
This period help will consolidate the words and expressions the students learnt in the reading part and deal
with the grammar part:word formation and subject-verb agreement.Systematic explanation shall be given and
some exercises shall be assigned for the students to complete to consolidate their knowledge on them.
Teaching Important Points
Noun suffixes in word formation.
Subject-verb agreement rules,especially of collective nouns.
Teaching Difficulties
Noun suffixes in word formation.
Subject-verb agreement rules,especially of collective nouns.
Teaching Method
Recognize the rules independently and practice.
Teaching Aids
A multi-media computer.
A blackboard.
Three Dimensional Teaching Aims
Knowledge and Skills
14Enable the students to recognize and learn by heart the useful words and expressions learnt in the Reading
part.(behave,behavior,respect,achieve,achievement,connect,connection,inspire,
worthwhile,observe,observation,condition,argue,entertainment,communicate,communication etc.)
Enable the students to grasp some rules of word formation to enlarge their vocabulary or guess the meanings
of some new words by recognizing some suffixes such as -tion,-ion,-ment,-ist,-er and -or etc.
Enable the students to apply the subject-verb agreement correctly.
Process and Strategies
Systematic explanation to make the students know how to apply the subject-verb agreement correctly.
Feelings and Value
Through the study of this period the students are sure to have a better understanding of the subject-verb
agreement.
Teaching Procedures
Step 1 Revision
1.Revise the content of the reading passage by asking the students some questions.
T:Good morning,boys and girls!Last class we talked about some great women in the world,remember?
Ss:Yes.
T:If I want to become a great woman,what is most important?
Ss:You should be unselfish and willing to sacrifice and make contributions to the society.
T:Good.Yesterday we talked about one of the great women and her life.Who is the great woman?
Ss:Jane Goodall.
T:What did she do?
S:She protected the wildlife in Africa.
S:She studied chimps and helped people understand chimp behavior and respect the lives of chimps.
T:Right.Did she have to spend a lot of time achieving her goal?
Ss:Yes.She has been doing that for forty years.
T:With hard work,what did she discovered?
S:She discovered that chimps hunt and eat meat.
S:She discovered how chimps communicate with each other.
S:She worked out their social system with the help of their body language.
T:Wonderful job.Do you admire her?
Ss:Of course.We will all follow her example and make ourselves useful persons.
2.Check the assigned homework.
T:Yesterday,you were expected to complete the exercises independently in Discovering useful words and
expressions.Have you finished?
Ss:Yes.
T:Good.Now let’s check the answers.Please turn to Page 4.Let’s have a look at exercise 2 first.
Now let’s check the answers.
(Ask some students to the blackboard to write down their answers,then ask the other students to correct.)
In the same way,check exercises 3 and 4.
Step 2 Noun suffixes in word formation
1.Brainstorm word formation
T:We know that Jane Goodall has done a lot for the chimps.She has argued for the chimps to be left in the
wild.That is to say,what has she made for the chimps to be left in the wild?
Ss:Arguments.She has made arguments for the chimps to be left in the wild.
T:(writes argue and argument on the blackboard and underlines -ment) Good.She did a lot and finally achieved
her goal.That is to say,she made...?
15Ss:She made achievements.
T:(writes achieve and achievement on the black board and underlines -ment) Good.
Now let’s have a look at the blackboard.Can you see anything in common in the two pairs of words?
S:Yes.The noun “argument” comes from the verb “argue”,adding “-ment”.The noun “achievement” comes from
the verb “achieve”,adding “-ment” too.We can see “-ment” can be added to a verb to make a noun.
T:Very good.You have very keen eyes.This way to form a new word is called word formation.Here,“-ment” is
called a suffix,which can be added to another word to form a new word.Do you want to know more about
suffixes?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Today we will talk about suffixes which can make another word into a noun.We call them noun suffixes.
2.Introducing more noun suffixes.
T:Now please have a look at the screen.Here are some groups of verbs.Say their meanings,please.
(Ss say the meanings of the verbs.)
organize determine
discuss examine
decide educate
direct
T:Good.What about their nouns?Can you tell me?
Ss:(say the nouns)
organization determination
discussion
direction education
decision
T:What is in common among these words?
Ss:Suffix “-ion”,“-tion”,“-sion” or “-ation” is added to the verb to make a noun.
T:Very good.So we can see “-ion”,“-tion”,“-sion” and “-ation” are some of the noun suffixes.Do you know more
suffixes?Can you give me some examples?
S:Let me have a try.If I feel bad,that is to say,I have a feeling which is bad.If the word means right,that is to say
the word have the meaning which is right.So we can see,“-ing” is also a noun suffix.
T:(writes “feel”,“feeling”,“mean” and“meaning” on the blackboard and underlines “-ing”)Terrific job.Are there
any other nouns with “ -ing”?
Ss:Warning,finding etc.
T:Who else will say something about other suffixes?
S:You teach us English.That is to say,you are our English teacher.“-er” is a noun suffix.
T:Good.Any more examples with “-er”?
Ss:Writer,organizer etc.
T:(writes down “-er” on the blackboard) What about other noun suffixes?
S:Thomas Edison invented the way of giving electricity.He was an inventor.“-or” is a noun suffix for a
person.Another example is “sailor”from “sail”.
T:(writes down “-or” on the blackboard) Right.
S:I remember one more suffix for a person.For example,Yang Zhenning has made great contributions to the field
of science.He is a scientist.“-ist” is a suffix for a person.
T:(writes down “ ist” on the blackboard) Good job.In fact we have one more suffix for a person.For example,if I
interview you,you are my interviewee.“-ee”means a person too.( writes down “-ee” on the blackboard)
3.Practice
161)Check exercise 1 on Page 4.Show the table on the screen and get the students to say the answers aloud in chorus
so that everyone will be aware of the suffixes.If they have any questions,give further explanation.
2)Show some more words on the screen and get the students to guess their meanings according to the rules of
word formation.They should be able to tell their meanings at the first sight.Instruct them to find out the root first
and then guess the meanings of the words,taking the suffixes into consideration.
pianist,typist,physicist,educationalist
protection,imagination,separation,education
punishment,management,statement,requirement,entertainment,
payment
prisoner,adviser,lecturer,climber
4.Summary
T:Now we can see it is not really difficult to remember words as long as we master some rules.With the
knowledge of word formation,we can enlarge our vocabulary.Today,we focus our attention on the Noun Suffix.In
fact there are much more suffixes in English,later we will come across some of them.
Step 3 Discovering useful structures (Subject-verb agreement)
1.Brainstorm Subject-verb agreement by giving simple examples.
T:Now watch me.What am I doing?(draws a picture on the blackboard)
Ss:You are drawing on the blackboard.
T:Yes.The teacher is drawing on the blackboard.(Writes the sentence “The teacher is drawing on the blackboard”.)
What about you?What are you doing?
Ss:We are watching and listening to you.
T:(Writes the sentence “We are watching and listening to you.”)
The teacher is drawing on the blackboard.
We are watching and listening to you.
Now please have a look at these two sentences.Can we say the teacher are drawing or we is watching and listening
to the teacher?
Ss:No.
T:Why?
Ss:There are some rules for us to follow when we write sentences.
T:You are right.When we write a sentence the predicate should agree with the subject,which is called subject-verb
agreement.If we can not apply the rules correctly,we might not get ourselves understood.
2.Instruct the students to discover the rules for subject-verb agreement.
T:There are three main principles for us to follow.语法一致 就近一致 意义一致
Show the students some sentences and get them to complete the sentences by filling in the predicate.Get them to
observe the sentences and sum up the rules.
T:Now please look at the screen and complete the sentences by filling in the blanks.
A boy _________ sitting there.(be)
Water _________ important to us.(be)
S:Both the two blanks should be filled in “is”.
T:Is he right?
Ss:Yes.
T:Now observe the sentences.Can you sum up one rule according to the two sentences?
S:Let me have a try.When the subject is a noun in single form or is an abstract noun,the predicate should be in
single form.
T:Very good.
After being introduced to the rules,the students are asked to finish exercise 1 on Page 5.Here are the exercises
with keys.
