Step1.  Warming up

Have students enjoy some jokes, and let one or two students translate these jokes into Chinese.

Joke 1.   Policeman: Why did you have to break into the same shop 3 times?

Thief: Well, I stole a dress from that shop but my wife didn’t like it. So I had to go back and change it twice!

Joke2    Custom: What’s that fly doing in my soup?

Waiter: Swimming, I thinking!

2. Encourage students to tell the humors they know in front of the class.

Step2. Lead-in

As the title suggests, in this unit we are going to taste some English humour.

Now look at this picture. Do you know who is he? Do you know about him? You must have seen his humorous films. I am sure a lot of people like to see his play. If you not quite familiar with him, now please pay attention to the class. This class we will learn about Charlie Chaplin who considered one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history

Step3. Reading

Have students work in pairs to discuss following questions, and then report their ideas to the class.

1.     Do you think Charlie Chaplin’s childhood helped him in his work? Why?

2.     Why do you think he is so successful?

3.     What should we learn from Charlie Chaplin?

4.     What should we do to succeed?

We should be optimistic no matter what difficulties we meet with

Do our best. Pay more time then others.

Never give up

Step4. Summary

In our daily life, we may meet with some happiness and joys, but we will also meet with some sadness and sorrow. When we meet with some sadness, what should we do? We should be optimistic and staunch. Don’t forget to smile! As Victor Hugo once said:

“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.”          --------Victor Hugo

Step5. Homework

1. Ask each student to give a joke and present it in class next period.

2. Find out the new words and useful expressions in this text.

课后反思

在讲这片课文过程中，我发现同学们的想象力是非常丰富的。他们对生活非常乐观。这让人回想起读中学时的那种消耗不完的激情。不过还有些学生需要去启发，需要去让他们开阔眼界，看到生活快乐的一面。总体上，如果能用正确的教学方法能让这片课达到很好的启发学生。
