课堂设计指导思想：
本课语法为名词性从句。教学目的为帮助学生了解什么是名词性从句；学会连词that，if，whether的正确使用。语法课的设计应摒弃教师一讲到底，罗列语法规则的陈旧教学方式，把语法的运用放置于情景中。这样学生就会身临其境学习语法，生动、有趣，教学效果好。
teaching aims:
1. make sure the students understand what the noun clauses are.
2. students should know the different use of noun clauses.
3. learn to use conjunctions: that, if/whether.
teaching procedures:
step1. introduction to noun clauses (ppt 4-5)
what is noun?
what is the use of noun?
what is noun clause?(by reading some sentences):
•at lunch, the weatherman reported that the mist would become a thick fog in the afternoon.
•she wondered if the buses would still be running.
•the truth is that the fog is too thick for the bus to run that far.
•what surprised me most was that the old man couldn’t see anything.
《设计说明》从课文中挑选出四句名词性从句，经过两课时的课文阅读及语言点教学，学生对这些句型结构已有清晰的理解，以此导入名词性从句的教学显得比较自然。
step2. presentation (ppt 6-9)
1. ask students to read part 1 on page8 so that they will know that a noun clause can be used as the subject of a sentence. more sentences can be given to the students.
1) that he will succeed is certain .
2) whether he will go there is not known .
3) what he said is not true .
4) where he hid the money is to be found out .
have students read the sentence in which it is used as an preparatory subject:
who will go makes no difference.
= it makes no difference who will go.
that she was able to come made us very happy.
= it made us happy that she was able to come.
2. ask students to read parts 2 so that they will know that a noun clause can be used either as the object of a verb or a preposition in a sentence.
1) they know that the habit will kill them.
2) he asked how much i paid for the violin.
3) he made it clear to the public that he did an important and necessary job.
