板块：Word power
Thoughts on the design:
Word power本单元的第四课时，是以引导学生学习与电影话题相关的分类词汇为主要目的，从而拓宽学生对电影产业和电影制作相关工作人员称呼的词汇的认识和应用。因此，利用一段影片激活学生与电影有关的已有词汇，激发学生对电影相关词汇的兴趣，调动学生努力掌握词汇的积极性。
Teaching aims:
1. After learning the passage in part A, students are able to recognize the words to describe film industry;
2. After learning the passage in part B, students are able to grasp some nouns related to some job titles.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Lead-in (PPT4—5)
When we talk about drama, what words do you think of?
stage: (wings, microphone, curtains, lights, scenery, set)
cast: (director, actors, actresses)
script: (theme, lines, stage, direction, acts, scenes)
…
Then, what about films?
producer, editor, costume designer …
[Explanation]
用谈论戏剧的相关词汇导入，因为学生学过戏剧，所以容易激活一些已经掌握的词汇，然后过渡到电影产业的相关词汇。
