一、教材分析
當今世界趨勢傾向多元化，而其突出地表現(xiàn)在個人的創(chuàng)造思維和群體間的合作精神。為此，在中學階段培養(yǎng)學生的合作意識，創(chuàng)造思維就顯得尤其重要。本單元的中心話題是“成功的關鍵”內容涉及個性特征、個人品質、團隊精神、成功之路、社會行為和社會關系等，語言技能和語言知識都是圍繞這一中心話題設計的。通過本單元教學，學生了解了走向成功的諸多要素，明白團隊精神在集體活動中發(fā)揮的重要作用。
1、Warming up 部分通過對一系列問題的討論來確定自己屬于哪一種人，具有怎樣的品德和個性。目的是讓學生學會談論社會行為和社會關系。
2、Listening部分通過對三個問題的小組討論來了解學生業(yè)余時間的安排。讓學生通過對兼職工作的討論初步了解團隊精神。
3、Speaking部分首先向我們闡述了具有誠實，負責、可信這些品德給我們帶來的益處，接著通過三個情境來對學生進行檢測。
4、Reading部分是一篇關于團隊工作的文章。通過閱讀，讓學生理解團隊精神的重要性，知道一個團隊應如何良好運轉。
5、Language practice部分設計了系列練習，讓學生在練習中鞏固本單元所學習的重要單詞和短語。
6、Integrating skills 部分講述了李永紅奮斗的經(jīng)歷，是讓學生在閱讀中理解成功的真正含義并讓學生意識到每個人的成功之路是不同的，每個人都應選擇適合自己的成功之路。
7、Writing部分是對李永紅現(xiàn)象的反思。要求學生以書信的形式就李永紅的選擇發(fā)表看法。寫一篇書信。

Suggested answer:
Project team Rugby team
Similarities They are both teamwork.
All team members should respect, help and support each other.
The tasks of the teams should be divided according to the personalities and abilities of the team members.
Differences Team members may combine roles.
The number of players is changeable.
The purpose is to build buildings.
The work division is clear and each player has a clear role. The number of players is not changeable. The purpose is to win a match.
T: Do you think comparing a project team to a rugby team creates s funny effect?
Ss: Yes.
T: Why?
S：When we talk about a rugby team we will never think of a project team, but actually they have a lot in common. That’s funny.
In my opinion, they are similar on the surface but have fundamental differences.
T: Yes. They are similar on the surface. Now who can compare two other things that are similar on the surface but have fundamental differences?
Let me have a try. Take fight and wrestling for example. They are both bout of strength of two people. But they are quite different. First, their purposes are quite different. People fight because of sharp conflicts between them, and they fight in an illegal way. It is wrong to fight with others. However, wrestling is a popular kind of sports. People wrestle to make them stronger.
T: You’ve done so well. Thank you! Do you know the different roles in a project team?
There are many different roles in a project team. They are leaders, builders, a foreman, an architect and so on.
T: According to the author, some team members work best on tasks alone. Is this statement contradictory or not?
S: No, it’s not contradictory. Because even in a team or group, some work must be done alone. For example, in a sports team, the composition is mainly decided by the coach alone. When he/she makes a decision, if there are many people who want to make suggestions, maybe the coach will be confused. And it is the same with the architect in a project team.
T: Excellent job! You have understood the text very well.
Step 6 Discussion
T: We’ve learned about how to make teamwork well. Now can you give an example from you daily life to prove this inequation(不等式) “2>1+1”?(Teamwork is better than individual work), for example, studying in your classroom, doing cleaning in your dormitory(寢室)，or at home. Please work in groups of four and choose one example to prove this, Five minutes later, let’s see which group works best, OK?
Step7 Summary
The passage is mainly about the importance of teamwork. It tells us that teamwork is necessary and important because some work in our life cannot be accomplished by someone alone. Working in teams at school is a preparation for our future. To make the team function well, all team members should help, respect and support each other and be clear about their roles. On the other hand, it is important to know every member’s strengths and shortcomings, because different personalities and abilities can fit different requirements in the society and can help us avoid embarrassing other team members. In this way, we can make the best of working with team members.

The Story About Team Work
There is an animal in the world that is measured by millimeters --the ant. Although ants are tiny, they have great advantage: team work.
In the world of ants, there are detailed job duties and rules. Forexample, if one day, the ants are out of food in the nest, they willdivide into several groups, one group for guarding the nest, one group for searching for food, and one group for transporting the food back to the nest. None of them will say: “It is too dangerous to search for food. People are dangerous, I want to be in the guard team not the searching team.” However in our daily life, there was one day that the teacher said we were going to play game in class, the teacher asked student No. 1 to bring compasses to school, student No.2 to bring a triangle ruler... But the parent of student No.1 told him: “ Oh, the compasses are too expensive, how about you take the triangle ruler to school instead, don’t worry, someone will take the compasses to school for you.” Unfortunately, we were not able to finish the game at school that day. So we need to learn from the ants, to do team work.
Remember, Classmates ,every single nail matters in a spaceship. We need to learn to work together.
