Period3 Pre-readingandReading

教学目标

(1)学生能够正确读写及运用以下单词:

airmail;fortnight;roof;muddy;textbook;concept;weekly;relevant;remote;weed;rectangle;rectangular;adjust;platform;broom;tin;jar;sniff;participate;interpreter;grill;otherwise;privilege

(2)学生掌握下列词组的意思并能在句子中熟练运用:

hearfrom;(be)dyingto;theotherday;dryout;dryup

2.语言技能目标:

(2)继续运用已经掌握的基本猜词技巧猜测文章中的部分单词。

3.语言能力目标:

增强阅读理解能力;发展借助图片、表格等非语言信息进行语言输出的能力。

4.情感态度与文化意识目标:

(1)帮助学生理解志愿者工作的意义,培养学生在日常生活中帮助他人、扶贫救困的爱心。

(2)在小组合作互动中,增强学生的团队合作精神与分享意识。

重点难点 

1.教学重点:a.获取巴布亚新几内亚独立国各部落生活状况和风俗习惯的信息;

b.阅读能力的培养和阅读技巧的训练,如精读课文完成表格填空等。

2.教学难点:a.理解作为志愿者工作的意义,从而树立正确的价值观;

b.训练用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。

课前准备 

1.学生的学习准备

查找关于巴布亚新几内亚独立国的信息。学生可以通过上网等形式搜集信息,并且把搜集到的信息编成问题或写成一段文字,在课堂上向其他同学汇报。这提高了学生的学习兴趣,把被动的学习变成主动的学习。

2.教师的教学准备

查找关于国内外关于帮助他人的个人和组织。

3.教学环境的设计与布置

在教室里张贴班级学生参加社团活动或志愿者活动和“献爱心”捐款的照片及资料。

4.教学用具的设计和准备

制作与阅读课文相关的多媒体课件。

教学过程 

?Step1 Warmingup

1.ShowthesignofUnitedNationsVolunteerinChina.

2.Whatdoestheword“volunteer”mean?Ingroups,discusswhocanbecalledvolunteers.

(Peoplewhohelpothersintheircommunityoroutsidetheircommunitywouldbecalledvolunteers.However,theywouldnotbecalledvolunteersiftheyhelptheirparents,otherrelativesorfriends.)

[设计说明]通过中国青年志愿者的标志导入,因为标志中有一个手的图形,提醒学生:志愿者常常伸出手帮助别人。然后分组讨论“什么样的人才被称为志愿者”。经过讨论,学生统一了认识,知道了志愿者是指帮助与自己没有直接关联的人。这一点对于理解课文也非常重要。

?Step2 Pre-reading

1.ShowthetitleandamaptothestudentsandintroducesomeinformationaboutPapuaNewGuinea.

(T:Now,letsreadapassageaboutavolunteerworkinginPapuaNewGuinea—ALetterHome.)

(Introduction:PapuaNewGuineaissituatedinthePacificOcean,tothenorthofAustralia.Itisapoorcountrywithapopulationof5.7million,around80%ofPapuaNewGuineanslivinginruralareaswithfewornofacilitiessuchasrunningwaterandelectricity.Englishistheofficiallanguage.Becauseofthepoverty,notallchildrengotoschool.Around85%ofchildrenstartschoolbutabout60%ofthesereachYear5.)

2.Showsomepicturestothestudentsandmakethemgetsomebackgroundinformation.

[设计说明]由于学生对于巴布亚新几内亚独立国的情况了解不多,教师有必要在阅读课文之前介绍一些这个国家的信息,也可以布置学生在课前上网查找这个国家的资料,上课时由学生用英语汇报,或者采用“头脑风暴”或分组竞赛抢答的形式,使学生在较短的时间里掌握足够的背景资料。随后展示一些图片,既加深学生对于这个国家落后的经济、教育状况的印象,也有助于之后阅读活动的展开。

?Step3 Scanning

Dividethepassageinto4partsandfindoutthemainideaofeachparagraph.

Part2(Paragraphs2-3)TheschoolwhereJoworkedandJosworkatschool.

Part3(Paragraphs4-8)JoandJennyvisitedTombeshomeinthevillage.

Part4(Paragraph9)Endoftheletter.

[设计说明]快速阅读后要求学生分段,再找出每段的大意。如果是阅读理解能力普遍较弱的班级,教师可以把这项任务改为把各段与段落大意相搭配,如下所示:

Part1(Paragraph1)Endoftheletter.

Part2(Paragraphs2-3)Openingoftheletterandintroductiontowhatwillbetalkedaboutinthepassage.

Part3(Paragraphs4-8)TheschoolwhereJoworkedandJosworkatschool.

?Step5 Readingaloud

Readthepassagealoudandunderlinetheimportantphrasesanddifficultsentences.

[设计说明]边读课文边画出重点词组和难句,加深对于课文内容的理解。而且,在程度较好的班级,在时间允许的情况下,教师可以在朗读课文结束后插入一些词汇和句型的讲解。也可以根据情况,把词组和难句放在下一节课中专门讲和练。

?Step6 Discussion

1.WhydoyouthinkJobecameavolunteerinPNG?

2.Wouldyouliketoworkasavolunteerinapoorarea?Givereasons.

[设计说明]通过讨论Jo作为志愿者的原因,可以使学生更好地了解这个单元的主题:帮助他人、分享合作。通过第二个问题,教师可以进一步了解学生对于志愿者工作和帮助他人的看法,有利于教师进行德育教育,帮助学生树立正确的价值观。

?Step7 Homework

Writeapassageabout100wordstointroducethevillageandlifeinthevillageaccordingtothephotosandthetableinExercise.1.

[设计说明]根据图片和图表写一段关于村落情况和生活的介绍文字,既加深了学生对于课文重点段落的印象,又发展了借助图片、表格等非语言信息进行语言输出的能力。如果学生英语程度不够好,教师可以给出短文的开头几句,例如Oneofmystudents,TombelivesinasmallvillageinPapuaNewGuinea.Thevisittohishomeimpressedme...。时间允许的话,还可以在上一个讨论问题环节结束后,让学生两人一组,先轮流进行口头作文,再回家完成书面作文。

[设计说明]听句子,猜猜他/她是谁的游戏,能够很快地引起学生的兴趣,活跃课堂气氛,而且,在描述中使用的一些句子带有限制性定语从句,也为限制性定语从句的呈现做好了准备。

?Step2 Revision

1.Revisethecharacteristicsofrestrictiveattributiveclauses.(ThestudentscansaythatinChinese.)

从形式上看,限制性定语从句与先行词(被定语从句修饰的名词或代词)之间没有逗号。

从功能上看,限制性定语从句对先行词起着修饰和限制的作用,如果去掉从句,会影响到整个主句的意思。

2.Revisetherelativepronounsandadverbsofrestrictiveattributiveclauses.

(3)先行词是who或who引导的主句。

(4)主句是therebe句型时。

(5)先行词中既有人又有物时。

注意:介词后面只能用which而不能用that。

[设计说明]借助第一环节中的句子,先让学生找出限制性定语从句,再复习限制性定语从句的特征和关系词的用法,尤其是关系代词that的用法,为下面的环节——关系词的运用打下基础。

SharingPeriod1 WarmingUpandListening


古人云,工欲善其事,必先利其器。准备好一份优秀的教案往往是必不可少的。教案可以保证学生们在上课时能够更好的听课,让高中教师能够快速的解决各种教学问题。怎么才能让高中教案写的更加全面呢?小编特地为大家精心收集和整理了“SharingPeriod1 WarmingUpandListening”,欢迎大家阅读,希望对大家有所帮助。

Unit4 Sharing教材分析 

本单元的话题是Sharing,主要涉及帮助弱者、志愿服务、合作分享等。通过听、说、读、写等各种活动学习相关的语言知识,使学生了解世界上很多地方依然很落后,从而懂得同情,学会分享。了解一些志愿者工作的信息,培养学生互助合作的精神和社会责任感。结合针对短文话题的探讨激发学生的国际意识,通过各种渠道力所能及地为贫困地区的孩子作出自己的贡献。

WarmingUp部分是一个调查,分成三项任务:首先回顾自己曾经做过的助人为乐的好事,并采访三位同学;然后,根据调查内容列举班级同学所做的好事;最后讨论volunteer的内涵。通过这些任务,让学生懂得什么是“帮助”,反思自己是否乐于助人,以及怎样做才是“志愿者”,由此为后面的短文学习做好铺垫。

Pre-reading是Reading的热身活动。交代了阅读文章的文体(letter)和作者(ayoungAustralianwoman,Jo),还根据她在PNG拍的10张照片提出了5个问题,回答这些问题有助于学生加深理解“志愿者活动”的意义。

Reading是一篇Jo写给Rosemary的信。其中介绍Jo在PNG(PapuaNewGuinea)的一个小山村教书。在她写给Rosemary的信中,作者描述了该村学校的情况和去一个学生家做客的经历,使学生感受到PNG的儿童生活处境的艰难,更加珍惜自己的学习机会。

Comprehending是根据短文设计的阅读理解试题。第一个练习要求学生读懂书信的内容,用表格的形式帮助学生整理书信中提到的关于巴布亚新几内亚村落生活及风俗习惯的信息,属于细节题。第二个练习要求学生对文中提到的五个现象进行分析,说明原因,属于细节推理题。第三个练习要求学生通过阅读分析生活在小山村中的积极面和消极面,这个练习进一步地开阔学生的思维,使学生对艰苦的生活有更深的理解。第四个练习要求学生小组活动,讨论四个问题,进一步巩固学生对于课文内容的理解,并且让学生联系自己的实际情况,通过比较校舍、教学条件、生活状况等方面的问题,引发学生的深层思考,谈谈自己是否愿意参加志愿者活动。第三、四两个练习都属于深层思考的问题。

LearningaboutLanguage分词汇和语法两部分。其中,第一部分是有关此篇短文中的重点单词和短语。设置了三个练习,一是根据所给解释从所学词汇中选择相应的单词;二是用恰当的词汇完成一篇短文;三是根据解释组成词组,并用词组编对话。第二部分是有关限制性定语从句的复习。首先从课文中找出含有限制性定语从句的句子;然后用定语从句完成句子,对定语从句加以运用;再用含有定语从句的句子回答问题;最后是两人结对活动,进一步练习使用定语从句。

UsingLanguage是对Reading的延伸。通过阅读,参与“Giveanunusualgift”的活动。这个部分由三个部分组成,综合训练学生听说读写四个方面的能力。“读与说”通过图文结合的方式,介绍了一些特殊的礼品——为穷人和真正需要它们的人选购礼品。阅读之后,完成两个练习:回答问题和把礼物名称和详细介绍配对。“听与说”部分是采访默里大夫的经历,以听力训练为核心设置了四个活动。1.讲述一个人的生平,用到了时间表达法;2.通过列表把握听力中的细节;3.在涉及听力内容之前让学生先就有关听力中的话题进行讨论,有助于学生快速并准确地把握听力内容;4.展开讨论,让学生思考自己将来是否愿意像默里大夫那样做个志愿服务工作者。“写作”根据“听与说”中的话题,运用时间表达方式,根据给出的6个方面对默里大夫的情况进行写作。

课时划分 

在对本单元的各部分材料进行分析、整合后,确定了以下六个重点课时:

课时一:WarmingUpandListening(听力课)

从话题内容和训练目的来看,WarmingUp与UsingLanguage中的Listeningandspeaking比较接近,所以将WarmingUp与Listeningandspeaking的第1、2、3题和Workbook中的Listening以及ListeningTask整合在一起,设计成任务型“听力课”,以训练听前预测的能力和学习用时间表达方式来介绍一个人的生平经历的方法。

课时二:Speaking(口语课)

将上一节听力课剩下的部分Listeningandspeaking中的第4题和Workbook中与上节课听力内容相关的Talking以及SpeakingTask整合在一起,设计成“口语课”,训练学生用英语表达自己的观点,并且说明这样做的理由。

课时三:Pre-readingandReading(阅读课)

这篇课文是一个志愿者的一封家书,她在巴布亚新几内亚共和国的一个小山村教书。信中详细地描述了她所在学校的情况和她去一个学生家做客的经历。通过这封信,学生可以了解巴布亚新几内亚共和国各部落的生活状况和风俗习惯,同时能够更好地理解志愿者的工作。

课时四:Grammar(语法复习课)

本单元的语法重点是复习限制性定语从句(RestrictiveAttributiveClause)。学生已经学过这个语法点,所以在这节课中,首先对限制性定语从句的特征、关系词做一个简要回顾,然后通过多种形式的练习,如填写关系词、造句和翻译等,使学生逐步掌握限制性定语从句的用法。这些教学环节,如开始部分的听句子、猜同学的游戏和结束部分的翻译或写作练习,都充分体现了在语境中学习语法、在语境中运用语法的教学原则。

课时五:Reading,SpeakingandWritingTask(综合运用课)

这节语言综合运用课把本单元的第二篇文章和课后练习中的写作练习组合到一起。一方面是由于这篇文章——“世界上最有用的礼物清单”,内容比较简单,不需要用一整节课来完成;另一方面是课后练习的写作任务——给一个被自己资助的孩子写封信,既切合本单元帮助他人的主题,题目中又已经列出了书信的结构,书信的内容也是介绍自己的学习生活,能够与学生的实际结合起来,学生写起来有话可说。

课时六:SummingUpandLearningTip(总结复习课)

复习课分成四个板块,板块一是复习课文内容和重要的词组句型。复习课文内容可以通过根据关键词组复述课文、回答问题和学生互批作文(用100词左右写一篇介绍部落生活和风俗的文章)等活动来完成。这篇作文是阅读课的家庭作业,放在此处,既检查了作业,又有助于课文的复习。板块二是复习语言知识,主要是用翻译、填词以及句型转换来复习。板块三是总结和概括语法项目。指导学生完成表格填充、知识树,使学生在脑海中对限制性定语从句形成一个完整的概念。板块四是总结。讨论分享的意义,让学生对于本单元的主题有更加清晰完整的认识,并且由生活中的分享谈到学习上的互相合作与分享,即LearningTip的内容。学情分析 

1.学生经过高中阶段必修1~选修6的学习,具备了一定的阅读技能,如查找细节信息,猜测词义,抓住段落要点和全文大意等,在阅读速度方面也有了较大的提高,这有助于学生较好地完成这个单元的课文阅读。同时,在听、说、写等方面也有了一定的基础。

2.这个单元的话题是分享、帮助与合作。对于高二的学生而言,他们的价值观人生观已经基本形成,要想通过一个单元的学习,完全改变学生的价值观,难度比较大,但教师可以通过本单元安排的内容,如阅读志愿者的家书,了解一些捐助机构的工作,帮助学生认识这个世界,理解互助合作的意义,即在帮助他人的过程中实现自己的人生价值。

3.学生在这个单元的学习过程中需要用到预习策略、搜集分析信息策略、归纳整理策略及高效复习策略等。

[设计说明]作为语言运用部分的阅读文章,“世界上最有用的礼物清单”通过图文结合的方式,介绍了一些特殊的礼品,阅读难度不大。所以只设计了两个练习来帮助学生理解课文内容。第一个练习是学生快速阅读后回答问题,第二个练习是仔细阅读后找出合适的捐赠项目。之后,可以简单提提文中出现的短语:inneed,choosefrom,及两个名词短语sewingmachine,trunklibrary。

[设计说明]由捐助说到了中国农村很多孩子因贫困无法上学,介绍“希望工程”,再过渡到如果你捐助了一个学生,给她写封信,介绍你自己的学习和生活情况。信的提纲已经给出,这便于学生快速构思,有助于学生在课堂上规定的时间内完成习作。如果时间不够,学生仅仅完成初稿,可以把修改和誊抄的工作作为家庭作业布置下去。
