八、教学程序：
1、复习和导入（用时5分钟）：
通过复习前面课中学过的有关news media 的内容，使学生头脑中呈现出相关的词汇。这可以通过There are several kinds of news media, right? Can you tell me what they are? Which of them do you think is more convenient and cheaper? Do you agree that newspapers are more convenient and cheaper? And which kinds of newspapers do you often read? 等问题来进行复习。接着又通过In a newspaper, what do we call this, the heading printed in large letters? Who write the news we read in these newspapers? And how is the news made and written?等问题一步步导入正课。
2、读前猜测和快速阅读（用时7分钟）：
⑴．让学生根据文章题目和三幅图片，与同桌讨论，猜测在课本pre-reading中列出的六个问题里面有哪几个问题课文将会谈及。接着提问学生猜测的结果，但先不评价他们的答案。这样既可以培养学生的想象力，给予学生自由想象的空间，又可以激发学生对学习本文的兴趣与好奇心。
⑵．让学生独自快速阅读文章，限时2分钟，找出文章实际上谈及了pre-reading中拿几个问题，然后提问并校对正确答案，看学生们是否猜测正确。这样可以培养学生快速阅读，得出文章大意的能力。
3、详读课文并答题（用时18分钟）
在这一环节，根据文章脉络分明的特点，先让学生将文章分成三个部分。接着每部分给予学生相应的时间进行详细的阅读并回答屏幕上的相关的问题，从而培养学生通过阅读获取相关信息的技能。第一部分让学生默读1分钟，回答两个问题（① Do newspapers and other media simply record what happens? What do experienced editors and reporters do？② Who were asked to be interviewed to tell us more about news and newspapers?）。第二部分让学生默读3分钟，回答五个问题（③ What is the editor’s job?④ Is interviewing someone difficult? What must a reporter know?⑤ Which article is Chen Ying’s favorite one?⑥ What would Zhu Lin like to write about?⑦ What is the basic task for a reporter?）。第一部分让学生默读1分钟，回答两个问题（⑧ What is the topic sentence of the last paragraph?⑨ What result can TV programmes and printed articles bring to us?）。每一部分在校对答案时，注意解释某些重难点和难句，并让学生朗读重点句子。
4、跟读录音带（用时4分钟）
放录音让学生跟读，训练学生的语音和听力，同时加深对文章的理解。
5、讨论（用时10分钟）
让学生围绕问题If you were a reporter, what would you like to write about? Why?与同桌展开讨论，并创设对话，学生自由讨论三分钟之后，展示他们的对话。学生开始前，给他们看一个例子{Example:
Mary: Hi, Bill. If you were a reporter, what do you want to write about?
Bill: Oh, I want to write about animals.
Mary: Really? Why?
Bill: Because lots of animals are in danger. They are dying. How about you?…
Mary: …}这样便可以给中下层的学生提供帮助。
6、小结并布置作业（用时1分钟）
对本节课所学内容进行简单的回顾，让学生印象更为深刻，最后布置作业。
