Thoughts on the design:

     Project属于探索型实践课，在本单元前面对中西方喜剧形式和戏剧相关词汇了解的基础上，引导学生阅读和分析两个短篇喜剧剧本。之后通过小组讨论，分工合作，交流汇报等形式将英语学习和实践延伸到课堂之外，最后呈现学习任务，培养综合运用语言的能力。本课利用本单元前面所学内容引导学生对两个小喜剧进行理解和分析，为学生课后的表演和制作做好充分的铺垫。

Teaching aims:

1.          have a good understanding of the two short plays

2.          use what they learned in this unit to analyze the play

3.          form groups to discuss and prepare their own performances.

     Script, Director, Actors and actresses, Toilet paper & other paper, Throne, Costumes, Stage (lights, microphones, scenery)

[Explanation]

这两个短剧通俗易懂，学生在理解上问题不大，因此，教师可以结合喜剧的特点以及Drama表演需要筹备的东西等方面引发学生思考。一方面能帮助他们进一步理解喜剧的各种形式，另一方面为他们Project的完成做好准备。而且，和Word power的内容有机结合，增加相关词汇的复现，便于学生的接受和记忆。

Step 3 Planning and preparing (PPT 15-17)

 1. Ask the students to discuss in groups the following questions, which will help them to carry out the project. Ask them to write down their plans.

•         Which play do you want to put on

•         Who will play each character? Who will be the director?

•         What kind of scenery will need? Who will make it?

•         Will you need props? Who will find them?

•         Will you need costumes? Who will make them?

•         Where and how often will you practice?

  2. Ask some groups to report them idea about the project. The teacher may give some suggestions in this step.

[Explanation]

    在分析了两个短剧之后，让学生充分讨论来选择他们即将演出的短剧，用问题引导他们思考在演出的前后应该筹备和考虑的方面，最后的汇报可以让老师和学生相互学习和借鉴，并且发现问题及时解决和改进，以确保课后学生的任务更顺利的完成。

Step 4 Homework (PPT 18)

Ask the students to prepare and practice their plays.
