　　板块：Reading 1

　　设计思路：

　　本节课为阅读课的第一课时，主要是解决对课文内容的理解和学习有关阅读技巧。本文的体裁是新闻报道，采用新闻报告的常规要点为切入口，从title和五个"W"一个"H"这几个方面构画出新闻报道清晰的框架结构并教学生如何阅读此类文章，如何在此类文章中捕捉所需要的信息。教学方法还是通过预测、略读和寻读等常规技巧，帮助学生了解课文内容。教学步骤的设计以培养听、说、读、写能力为主。

　　Teaching aims:

　　After learning the passage, students will be able to know typical writing features in news articles and learn how to read a newspaper article and how to get the important information in it, thus reinforcing their reading abilities in reading this kind of material. Besides, students should be encouraged to express themselves in both written and oral English so that their language learning abilities can be enhanced.

　　Teaching procedures:

　　Can you complete the title? ("A boy is missing, and the police are puzzled")

4. Do you know why the writer uses an incomplete sentence as its title? ( Because it is brief. In fact this is one feature of a news title. The title of a news story is usually incomplete, attractive, exact and direct ...)
