【設(shè)計(jì)說明】
由日常問候開啟話題，通過提問學(xué)生家鄉(xiāng)情況導(dǎo)入城鎮(zhèn)生活，引出不同的建筑材料及交通工具中的生詞；然后總結(jié)交通工具的種類來預(yù)測未來的交通方式，從而導(dǎo)入課文。
Step 2 Warming up and Pre-reading
Task1:Pair work
In pairs let Ss list the changes in transport, environment, education and housing will happen in the next century.
Present timeIn one Thousand Years’ Time

【設(shè)計(jì)說明】
通過對(duì)交通，環(huán)境，教育和住房四方面的發(fā)展和預(yù)測讓學(xué)生發(fā)揮自己的想象力進(jìn)入閱讀文章的處理學(xué)習(xí)中。

time travel ? transport ? air quality ? religion ? clothing ? eating ? houses ? towns
Task3:Prediction
Work in pairs and make a prediction.
Q: Which changes are good and which are bad?
【設(shè)計(jì)說明】
猜測是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生閱讀能力的方法之一，因此筆者首先提出問題引發(fā)學(xué)生思考，對(duì)未來生活的各個(gè)方面進(jìn)行預(yù)測。其次通過快速閱讀的方式，了解文章梗概，把握文章線索，找出文中對(duì)未來生活變化的描寫，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生快速閱讀的技巧與能力，并對(duì)未來生活變化的好壞進(jìn)行小組討論，培養(yǎng)集體協(xié)作精神。
Step4 Scanning
Task4:Scan the text and find the answers to the questions.
Q1: How many people are mentioned in the text? Who are they?
Q2: When did the writer write this letter? And to which year did he travel?

【設(shè)計(jì)說明】
通過跳讀文章了解了文章中的人物、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、事件、原因等關(guān)鍵要素，因此讓學(xué)生通過閱讀尋找上述要素，不僅讓學(xué)生的閱讀具有目的性，而且降低了閱讀的難度。

【設(shè)計(jì)說明】
通過精讀課文，從事件發(fā)生的先后順序及地點(diǎn)轉(zhuǎn)換順序了解文章細(xì)致內(nèi)容，按照“時(shí)空旅行前，時(shí)空旅行中及時(shí)空旅行后”的時(shí)間線索來處理文章細(xì)節(jié)。在此過程中鍛煉學(xué)生精讀的閱讀技巧，處理文章生詞，并適當(dāng)?shù)匾霂讉�(gè)過去分詞做狀語及定語的句子，為語法部分的講解作個(gè)鋪墊。
