Attributive clause is one of the difficult parts in grammar learning, though the students have learned it when they were in junior high school. The differences between the two periods is that the later pay more attention about the sentence structures and the function of relative pronounces while the former only show the definition of attributive clause as an introduction.

Ⅱ Teaching Aims:

1. Help students understand what the Attributive Clause is and its function.

2. Enable students to use relative pronouns (who, whom, which, that, whose) in the

attributive Clause properly.

3. Encourage students to use the Attributive Clauses in English composition

Ⅲ Teaching Important Points:

Enhance students’proficiency and accuracy in using the relative pronouns to write the Attributive Clauses.

Ⅳ Teaching Difficult Points:

How to make the students understand the sentence structure.
Choosing the right relative pronouns when connecting sentences.

Ⅴ Teaching Methods:

Task-based teaching method; Audio-lingual method; Cooperative learning; Group discussion

Ⅵ Teaching Aids：

a multimedia classroom
the blackboard
students’ hand-out

	Activities	Intentions	IP&Time
Daily routine
Step 1	·Daily routine T asks Ss to review the old sayings and learn a new one: Action speaks louder than words.	每天一点积累，每天一点收获，学生熟悉谚语、句型，为写作积累素材。	CW 2’
Step 2	·Preview check T asks Ss to answer the meaning of the important words and expressions	快速检查、复习前一节课的词汇掌握，为本节阅读课扫清障碍。	CW 2’
Lead-in
Step 3	·1. Guessing Game T presents a description of one animal and let Ss guess who it is.	用一段描述让同学们猜是哪种动物，通过其中描述的句子短语，引出定语的定义，作用以及定语从句的定义	CW 3’
Discovery
Step 4	Show the Ss how to combine two simple sentences into one complex sentence when using attributive clause.	通过演示简单句的合并使学生更好的了解定语从句的作用，也为学生总结不同关系词的作用打下基础。	IW PW 12’
Step 5	Require students to work in groups to combine two sentences into one complex sentence with attributive clause.	通过合并简单句的练习使学生了解关系词的作用	GW 12’
Practice
Step 6	·listening T asks Ss to listen to an English song and then fill the blanks while listening.	听歌曲填空白处的关系词既培养学生英语听力能力又融入了课堂学习内容，提高了课堂教学效率，增加了趣味性。	GW 5’
Summary and Homework
Step 7	·Summary T leads Ss to have a summary of this lesson: The definition of attributive clause and the function of relative pronounces.	在课堂结束前，学生与老师一起口头复述本节课学习的内容，包括定语从句的定义，定义从句的结构以及关系词的作用。	CW 2’
Step 8	·Homework Show a pic of a famous singer and ask Ss using attributive clause to give a short introduction about him.	经过上一步的小结，学生已经对如何使用定语从句有一定的了解，作文中使用定语从句更能检验学生课堂的学习成果，也为考试作文打下基础。	IW 2’

Ⅸ Teaching Reflection

As far as this class is concerned, it is effective. I adopt Task-based Teaching. I try to stick to the theory Student-center and act as a director. Not only have the students improved their understanding of grammar but also improve their self-learning ability. However, the learning ability between students quite differs. Some students can understand sentence structure and find the antecedent quickly while other can’t. not to mention using relative pronounces to connect two simple sentences. Through the whole class ,I found that the basic grammar is very important for further learning which is also needs me more time to help students review, but the way of teaching is effective.
