First thanksgiving in America

偶然的，才会又想起原来自己也发过几次博文，看了看时间竟然有半年多没有登陆过了。
怎么会想起这件事的呢？还得从今天的午餐开始说起。

今天是09年11月8日，星期天。没有象平常一样，坐班，下寝室，因为今天还是个特殊的日子。我在曾今函授了三年的杭州师范大学（前身杭州师范学院）参加了他们组织的“长三角浙派名师课堂艺术展示”活动。激动啊！今天只到报告厅听了两节课，中午在餐厅和其他几个参展的老师及组织方的老师、点评专家一起用餐。席间，温州实验学校的副校长屈老师 谈起了上次省优质课评比时的事情，还一个劲的说遗憾，没有能听到我的课。这次好像又听不了，因为她的任务是今天下午的点评，明天会温州开会。“汗！”还说经常访问我的博客，搞的我好紧张，我的哪个博客？至少都有半年多的时间没有回去看过了。

于是乎，一个下午就把自己关在房间里，斟酌自己的教学设计，课件，课堂教学导语。直至此刻，查询自己的哪个博客时，意外的发现自己的名字何时已被自己的弟子编写到他博客的诗歌中去了。其中曾任教过的第一届老师都榜上有名。晕！这个学生现在已经在杭州念大学了！新浪博文一波又一波。想想自己，平常的确是分身无术，一天下来，等到躺倒床上才知道，终于 一天 到手了！哪有精力来这做心情日记啊!

明早还得早点去十三中见借班的学生，不说了！养好精神再说吧！

Objectives:
By the end of the session, most students will be better able to acquire the required information and understand the target reading material. This will be achieved by:
1. Teaching students to apply the reading strategy—making predictions from the picture, the title and the key words.
2. Asking students to have some extension activities: multiple choices, a true or false exercise a summary and a discussion.
Learning and teaching focus:
Making predictions:
1. Predicting what the passage is about from the title,
2. Predicting what will the writer write next from the key words,
3. Predicting the main idea from the picture.
Anticipated difficulties:
1. The new words and some expressions might obstruct students from understanding the key facts of the reading appropriately so that students might draw inappropriate conclusions and fail to understand the reading material.
2. Students will probably find it difficult to predict from the picture, the title and the topic sentence so that they will feel frustrated.
Solutions:
1. Lead students to read some key information around the new words and ask them to guess the meaning according to the context.
2. Show students some key information to help them predict.
Teaching aids:
PPT, two additional reading materials and a notebook which will help to collect students’ answers and mistakes.

Stages Activities

Reasons

Warming up 1. Greet students to lead in the reading lesson— making predictions— asking students to guess my age from my appearance and clothing. Then ask them to predict what will happen to me from my age. 1. Predicting the outcome or something else from students’ experiences in life is also a kind of prediction, although it is not one of the reading strategies I will teach them. Predict the things in their life will be easy which can interest them and give them some courage to go on with the lesson.

Looking back on the days we spent together,can't you see that you are growing up day by day! Cherish the time now you are enjoying. Don't waste time any more!

By the time I continued, one week had already passed by. I don't know how fast the time is running now!

It's just a memo of what I do, what I see, and what I feel.
