Step 1. Lead-in

Hello, everyone! In our last unit, we learned something about AIDS/HIVE that is doing great

harm to human being. Today we are going to learn something about accidents that will also do

great harm to human beings. Here are some of them. Look at the pictures on Page 57 and practise

as the following.

Step 2. Warming up

Picture 1

Words and expressions to be used: drowning, bleeding, choking, situation, prevent poison, container, catch fire, electrical equipment, first aid

Step 3. Listening

1 Attention please! Now we are going to listen to dialogues in which a nurse is asking two people questions who have just arrived at the hospital, each with a child. Listen to the tape, what happened to each child?

2 Listen to the tape again and answer the questions.

3 Listen to the nurse’s questions in the first dialogue and write them down.

Step 4. Speaking

Work in pairs. Use the list of dos and don’ts below to tell each other what you should and should not do.

Suggested answers:

You must make sure that electric wires are safe and the children can’t reach them. If a child plays

with an electric wire, it can get an electric shock and be seriously injured. If electric wires are damaged, they may cause a fire. You should also cover outlets and switches that a child can reach. Make sure that your kitchen is safe. Don’t let children cook alone and teach them what to do if an

accident happens. For example, if a pan of oil catches fire, you should turn off the gas and cover the pan quickly. You should never use water to try to put out burning oil. Instead, cover the pan with a lid.

You ought to make sure that everyone in your family knows how to call for emergency (110). If your family knows what to do when there is an accident, they will be much safer. You should have a plan for emergencies and you should learn more about first aid.

You should not put poison into other containers, like empty bottles. A child or other family members may think that it is safe to drink. In fact you might forget that you put the poison there, too. If you must have poison in your house, you should keep it in a safe place and in clearly labeled container.

You should never leave small things on the floor or table which a baby can put into its mouth. The baby may choke on them. You must never play with electrical equipment.

You should never use ladders on a wet floor. The ladder may slip and you will fall and hurt yourself. If you are using a tall ladder, ask someone to hold the ladder for you.

Period Two

Teaching aims:

1. Improve the Ss’ ability of the reading comprehension.

2. Let the students get enough first aid knowledge and learn what they should do and what they should do and what they should not do during the process of first aid.

3. Let the Ss learn new words and useful expressions to talk about accidents and first aid. Teaching procedures:

Step 1. Lead-in

Hello. Everyone! Last time we discussed something about accidents and first aid. Now please tell what would you do in the following situations.

What would you do if you find a person whose leg is bleeding?

What would you do if you witness a traffic accident?

What would you do if your younger brother is choking?

Today we are going to learn more about first aid. First let’s look at pre-reading.

Step 2. Pre-reading

1. Introduction In the Pre-reading activity, the Ss are asked to choose one of three outlines. Each outline could be used for a text about first aid, so the students are free to choose the one they like best as long as they provide reasons for their decision.

2. Which of the outline below would you use if you were to write a text about first aid? Why? The first outline would suit a persuasive or argumentative passage in which the author is trying to get the reader to agree that first aid is important. The second outline is for a process essay in which the writer explains how to give first aid. The third outline would suit a comparison and contrast essay in which the writer first explains two types of first aid and then lists similarities and differences.

3. Which one do you think will be used in the text below? Why?

Step 3. Reading

1. Skim the text and answer the question What do the letters DR ABC stand for?

D stands for danger; R stands for response ; A stands for airway B stands for breathing; C stands for circulation.

2. Read the text to get the topic of each part.

Para. 1. First aid is very important

Para. 2 The most important is to stay calm.

Para. 3-4When we have to think fast, we must remember DR ABC to give first aid. Para. 5-6 When we have checked the DR ABC we should give the first aid that is needed and call an ambulance.

3. Listen to the tape and scan the text to answer the following questions:

What do we say that seconds count in an emergency when we meet someone in trouble?

Because knowing what to so and acting out in an emergency can mean the difference between life and death.

What is the most important thing when dealing with an emergency?

第3页共12页

The most important thing to keep in mind is to stay calm.

Before an ambulance comes, how can we save people’s life?

If we know how to respond, we can save people’s life.

Where can we learn first aid?

Many hospitals and schools offer training classes for people who are interested in learning first

aid.

How can we put the person in the recovery position.

First, roll the person onto one side and keep the legs straight.

Second, place the hand of the person’s upper arm under his or her chin.

Third, bend the person’s leg so that he or she will not roll over and we should stay with the

person and wait for an ambulance. Of course, we can cover the person with a blanket or a jacket to

help him or her stay warm.

What does the each letter of DR ABC mean?

D danger The accident scene is no longer dangerous.

R respond To know that he or she is conscious and can breathe.

A airway To make sure a person’s airway is open and it is easy to breath.

B breathing To start the person who is not breathing at once, using the mouth-to-mouth method.

C circulation To make sure the person’s blood is circulating by looking for color, coughing,

eye movement, and checking pulse, stopping bleeding.

study with a teacher.

5. Use what you have learnt from the text to explain what the people are doing in the pictures below. Match each picture with a sentence in the text.

Picture 1 shows a man checking the person’s pulse as described in paragraph 4, sentence 13:

We can also check a person’s pulse by putting a finger on the person’s neck or wrist. Picture 1 also , refer to paragraph 4 sentence 3: This can be done by gently tipping the person’s head’s back slightly.

Picture 2 shows a man using the mouth-to-mouth method as described in paragraph 4, sentence 7: if the person is not breathing, we must try to start his or her breathing at once, using mouth-to-mouth method.

Picture 3 shows a man pressing a piece of cloth onto a bleeding wound as described in paragraph 4, sentence 14: If a person is bleeding, we should cover the wound with a clean piece of cloth and press on the wound to stop the bleeding.

6. Work in pairs. Use the letters DR ABC to tell your partner how to give first aid.

First, you should make sure that the accident scene is no longer dangerous.

Second, you should try to get a response from the injured person.

Third, you should make sure that the person’s airway is clear.

Fourth, you should check if the person is breathing.

Last, you should make sure that the person’s blood is circulation.

Step 1. Lead-in

Hello, everyone! As we know, some new words about first aid and parts of our body are very useful when we talk about emergency and accident. Can you tell me some of the new words we have learned about first aid and parts of our body in the last two classes? Who would like to offer
