我具体采用了以下教学方法：①提问法——逐步引导，逐渐深入；②自主探究法——学生实践，巩固提高；③归纳法与整理法——学生实践，形成积极的抽象思维；④讨论法——积极参与，总结规律，形成正确的自我评价与相互评价；⑤点拨法——展开联想，拓宽思路。

[教学过程]Step 1 Leading-in 导入Show some pictures to the students.Teacher: First let’s get to know the man, who is called Mr. Nature. He is very emotional. When he is happy, he stays calm and shows us beautiful natural scenery. But when he gets angry, he becomes a troublemaker and causes many natural disasters. Can you name the following natural disasters?Suggested answers: Flood, drought, fire, volcano, typhoon, tornado, rock-mud flow, snowslide, earthquakeTeacher: As we all know, an earthquake is a kind of common disasters. It can cause great damage to people. Have you ever experienced an earthquake?(Students’ answers)Teacher: Can you describe your feelings at that time?(Students’ answers)Teacher: Why does an earthquake happen?Suggested answers: Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a number of moving plates such as the Pacific plate, the Indian plate, the Eurasian plate, and so on. Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each other. Sometimes they stop for years but at other times they jump and an earthquake is felt. An earthquake is the result of the movement of these plates.Teacher: We know China is a country where many earthquakes happen. Why does China have a lot of earthquakes?Suggested answers: Because the Pacific plate is pushing China from the east and the Indian plate is pushing China from the southwest. The power of this movement created the Himalayas and Mount Qomolongma. It now causes earthquakes in China. Take the Wenchuan earthquake for example, the Indian plate moved northwards and put pressure on the Eurasian plate. It led to the rise of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Then the risen Qinghai-Tibet Plateau moved eastwards and put pressure on Sichuan Basin. At last, the Wenchuan earthquake happened. Wenchuan is located on solid rock of the active earthquake belt, which makes the quake spread very far. It was felt in many provinces in China, including Shaanxi Province.Teacher: Usually we can see dark clods in the sky before rain. Dark clouds are a sign of rain. Similarly, something unusual often happens before an earthquake. What do you thinkwill happen before an earthquake?Suggested answers: There are bright lights in the sky. Chickens are flying and dogs are barking, and pigs and cows are too nervous to eat. Fish jump out of the pond, and mice ran widely out of the fields. The well has deep cracks in it and the water in it rises and falls. Teacher: If we can read these signs from natur e, it’s very useful for us to make good preparations for the coming disaster. Ok. 34 years ago, a strong earthquake hit Tangshan city and destroyed everything. Now let’s learn about the terrible earthquake. Turn to page 26. Look at the reading passage—A Ni ght the Earth Didn’t Sleep. What information does the writer try to give us through the title? / What does the title mean?Suggested answers: “The earth didn’t sleep” means the earth was active or the earth shook. “A Night the Earth Didn’t Sleep” is a poet ic way of saying that an earthquake happened at night. The title attracts people’s attention.【设计说明】为了调动学生的学习积极性，导入部分采用了多媒体动画、图片、文字等，形象直观。
导入部分由三个步骤构成：①首先用多媒体展示一个动画卡通人物“自然先生”，他是一个很情绪化的人。
当他高兴时，他心平气和，展现自然美景；但当他生气发怒时，他变成一个制造麻烦的人，造成许多自然灾难。
同时，展现一些包括地震在内的常见自然灾害图片，请学生辨认。
通过将自然界拟人化，更能激发学生的学习兴趣，调动学生的学习积极性。
②询问学生是否经历过地震，谈论2008年5月12日发生的四川汶川地震。
继而探讨“为什么发生地震？”“中国为何多发地震？”等问题，提高学生对地震成因的认识。
③让学生讨论地震前可能出现的征兆，使学生明白如果我们能够了解并认识地震前的预兆，就能提前做好准备，让更多的人获得求生的机会，减少或避免不必要的损失。
最后引出本文A Night the Ear th Didn’t Sleep，并让学生对文章标题进行理解。
