Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方式
Step I   Leading in
First go over what records can be accepted by the Guinness Book of World Records and then ask students to speak out the steps to get one’ record into the book.
T: Good morning afternoon, class!
Ss: Good morning afternoon, Mr./Ms…
T: In this class we are going to set a record and fill in a form to register the attempt. First let’s recall the rules. What kind of records can be accepted by the Guinness Book of World Records?
Ss: Records that are just too dangerous, too easy, too specific, or just too boring to attempt won’t be accepted.
T: Good. So let’s talk about some records and decide which two of the following records cannot be included in the by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Step II  Talking on Workbook
Ask students to turn their books to Page 146 and do the TALKING. Before the discussion, ask students to list reasons for and against including each record. Show the reasons on the PowerPoint.  Students are given 6 minutes to do this exercise. 6 minutes later ask several pairs to act it out.
Some possible reasons:
Reasons for including each record:
Because he/she is the first/best/…
Because it is very funny to…
Because people are curious about….
Reasons against including each record:
Because it is too dangerous/easy…
Because it is boring to…
…
Step III   Listening
Deal with the listening exercises on Page145 so that students are clear about the following questions.
1. What kind of records can be found in the Guinness Book of World Records?
2. How does an editor for the Guinness Book of World Records make sure that a record is true?
3. How does an editor for the Guinness Book of World Records decide which records to accept?
These exercises will lay a good foundation to the writing.
Ask students to read the questions carefully and make necessary predictions. Play the tape for students to listen and then check the answers with the whole class. If necessary, play the tape again. After learning something about how a record attempt is accepted and the basic characteristics of a Guinness world record, encourage students to set a world record.
Step IV  Discussion
Encourage students try to set a world record and get the record into the Guinness Book of World Records. First ask them to work in groups and decide what record they will choose to set. Students are given ten minutes to decide what Guinness world record they will set.
T: As we know, not everyone can break the 100-m track record, walk the high wire at a record altitude, or become the world’s youngest supermodel. But anybody can try to set a new record. Would you like to have a try?
Ss: Of course.
T: Now that we are clear about the above questions. Shall we register an attempt for the Guinness Book of World Records?
Ss: Good idea!
T: OK. First let’s find out what record we can set. I think the following website will help you.
http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/. Please click Kid’s Zone, then click hints and help, you will find expert’s advice.
Students are given ten minutes to look through the website. Then they will discuss in groups and decide what record they will break or set.
If students don’t have the access to the Internet, Teacher may print out the materials as handout for students.
Setting a new record
You’re desperate to get your name in the record books but don’t know which record to choose? You can either break someone else’s record or set your own. Here is how.
Some people choose to break records - they like the challenge of beating someone else's achievement and being the best in the world. But some like to set new, original records of their own. Perhaps they've got a skill that few others possess, or a unique collection, or just a great idea for a record that they want to attempt.
Of course, not everyone can break the 100-m track record, walk the high wire at a record altitude, or become the world’s youngest supermodel. But everyone can try to set a new record, as an individual or as part of a team.
So, here are some guidelines to help you come up with a record idea of your own:
Animal & pet records
You may have the dog with the longest ears or the rabbit that jumps the highest, but we won’t accept any claim unless it is supported by written proof from a vet. Remember, we don’t accept records for heaviest animals, as we don’t want to encourage people to overfeed their pets.
