模块八 Module VIII Appreciating literature and art《Grammar and usage(1)： Ellipsis》优质课教案下载

After learning this part, the students will be able to know when to use ellipsis and how to use it correctly.

Teaching procedures:

Step 1 The intro duction of ellipsis (PPT4—5)

Show a sentence from the passage and introduce the concept of ellipsis to the students.

Give some examples and ask students if there are some words that are left out in the sentences.

(You) Come here, please.

(You) Tell me who the director is, please.

(You) Write a review of the opera.

We often use ellipsis in imperative sentences.

此步骤起着一个“引子”的作用。通过阅读文章中的一句话，让学生们意识到不完整的句子在英语中也是很常见的。

Step 2 Finding out the different situations in which ellipsis is used (PPT6—10)

Have students read each of the sentences and talk about in what situations words can be left out.

—Have you seen this opera?

—Yes, I have (seen it).

— Will the performance be put off till next week?

— I hope (it will) not (be put off till next week). We also use ellipsis in short responses.

—When will they arrive?

—In about two hours.

—Could you water the plants for me?

—What about (watering them) after I finish my homework?
