2、 李珊珊 陈晓平 余晶晶一、教学目标和要求(Teaching aims and demands) 依据课程标准试验教材(英语 必修)关于总目标的具体描述,结合高一同学实际和教材内容,我们将教学目标分为语言学问、语言技能、学习策略、情感态度和价值观四个方面。一、 语言学问 (Knowledge)词汇(Vocabulary):能理解、内化、运用以下生词- hero, quality, willing, active, republic, fight, peaceful, prison, prisoner, period, law, advise, continue, fee, gold,youth

8、 语言技能 (Skills)听:在本单元的课文及练习册听力教学中, 能听懂人物和大事以及它们的关系,能抓住宅听语段中的关键词,正确理解话语间的规律关系。说:在本单元的课文及练习争辩时, 能恰当使用I think/ I dont think/ in my opinion/Thats an excellent idea等对英雄、伟人的品质恰当地发表意见,进行争辩。读:能在阅读中使用不同的阅读策略,快速地从阅读材料中猎取主要信息,依据上下文线索猜想故事进展,依据上下文猜想词义并通过不同渠道如报刊、音像、网络等了解更多伟人的状况。写:能用恰当的语言简洁地描述人物,并简洁地表达自己的意见。3. 学习策略
9、(Strategy):1 在听和读的训练中,学会借助情景和上下文猜想词义或推想段落大意,借助图表等非语言信息进行理解和表达。2 主动制定本单元学习方案,客观评价自己的学习效果,在课内外活动中乐观用英语沟通,有效地使用词典、图书馆、网络等媒体资源来获得更多的有关伟人的英语信息。4. 情感态度和价值观(Affect and Values)了解Nelson Mandela的生平事迹,生疏伟人所应具备的优秀品质,并向他们学习,以提高自身素养,树立正确的人生观,学习他们在艰苦的环境下为人类做贡献、不追求享乐的高尚精神。同时也学会一分为二的态度客观看待事物。二、教材内容分析(Analysis of the
10、 teaching materials)本单元的中心话题是当代英雄纳尔逊曼德拉。故事的主题内容分成三个部分,由穷苦的黑人工人伊莱亚斯叙述他眼中的曼德拉。这样的写法虽然只能反映出曼德拉的一个侧面,但读起来却更为客观可信,使同学对曼德拉有初步的了解。第一篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯向我们介绍1952-1963年期间的曼德拉。其次篇听力短文伊莱亚斯叙述了他为了争取与白人有公正的权利而参与了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。第三篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的挂念,非国大(ANC)掌权后,伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担当导游。这有别于惯常接受的直叙手法,尽可能剔除作者的主观看法,留给同学更多的思考空间
11、,启发同学自己去思考,主动地表述对自己心目中英雄人物的看法。为了让同学完成写作任务,教科书又供应了曼德拉的生平履历表,让同学对曼德拉有了一个更完整的生疏。“热身”(Warming Up)部分要求小组争辩伟人应具有的品质,并通过一组问题让同学了解彼此的特点与看法。“读前”(Pre-reading)部分供应了一些重要的历史人物,要求同学读懂每个人的基本状况,并推断他们中谁能称得上是宏大的人。“语言学习”(Learning about Language)部分突出了词汇和语法的学习与训练。本单元的语法是when, where, why, 介词+ which,介词+ whom引导的定语从句。“语言运用”
12、(Using Language)部分中包括了听、读、写三个部分的内容,是本单元主要阅读篇章故事的连续。同学可从中了解南非黑人当时的生活状况以及他们不公正的社会地位,发觉曼德拉的宏大之处。该部分提出的一些问题有利于培育同学独立思考的力气和人文精神。其中“写作”(Writing)部分是训练同学选取和组织材料,写出具有说服力的书信。练习册的写作要求同学学写有关伟人或名人的生平。“学习建议”(Learning Tip)指导同学收集、选择和分析有关名人的材料,了解人们对这些名人的评论,以学会正确地评价人物。三、教学支配(Teaching arrangements)Period 1: Reading I
13、(Elias story +the rest of Elias story)Period 2: Reading II (review +listening (sb)+language points)Period 3: More language input (reading task (wb) + listening (wb)Period 4: Language Practicing (grammar)Period 5: Writing 本教学支配依据“LARA教学原则”,对教材进行大胆的删除(L leave out)、 修补(A Amending)、替换(R Replace)、增加(A Ad
14、d),机敏的将教材为我所用。新教材在选材和教学活动的设计上充分考虑到同学年龄特征和他们生理和心理进展的需要;在接受话题、功能、结构相结合的教学方法的基础上,设计了“任务型”的活动;对英语语言学问和技能训练作了系统的支配,循序渐进,循环反复,有利于同学构建学问系统;留意培育创新精神,提高实践力气。但新教材也应与同学的实际相结合,我们不能全盘照搬。同时在教学过程中,为了对教学有准时的反馈和有效的改进,我们还进行了“形成性评价”,体现了同学的主体地位。本单元的语言技能和语言学问几乎都围绕“当代英雄”这一中心话题设计的。我们依据本单元实际状况对教材的课时支配作了一些调整,尤其是同学用书(Student
15、s Book)和作业本(Workbook)有机结合。 依据本单元的教材的特点,依据任务型教学与大容量输入与输出的教学理念,整个单元的设计思路如下:输入“英雄”的概念,先是同学的自由争辩,更通过曼德拉的事迹向同学呈现何为当代伟人,以及伟人所要具备的一些品质。在这基础上,其次步要同学辨别伟人与名人的不同,以及体会一分为二的辩证唯物主义。最终我们回到生活中,生活中也有不少平凡但是为了集体崇高的抱负,放弃个人利益而不断努力克服困难的一般民众,他们也是我们心目中的英雄,伟人。由此我们从书本回归到生活,也成功升华,延长了英雄的概念。通过学习语言点、语法还有写作,同学在内化吸取了学问后,进行了输出。第一课时
16、是人物传记式的阅读课,但是文章的写作角度比较特殊,由穷苦的黑人工人伊莱亚斯叙述他眼中的曼德拉,这样的写法比较客观可信。伊莱亚斯的故事与患病同时也成为本文与本课的一条贯穿总线。课文有关中心话题的有三个部分,第一篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯向我们介绍1952-1963年期间的曼德拉。其次篇听力短文伊莱亚斯叙述了他为了争取与白人有公正的权利而参与了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。第三篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的挂念,非国大(ANC)掌权后,伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担当导游。考虑到故事进展与情节开放的连续性与关联性以及课堂时间,在这个课时,把第一篇阅读短文与第三篇阅读短文整合起来完成,听力则
17、放在其次课时。首先我们以一首英文经典歌曲 “hero”作为课前的英语氛围的营造与课内的导入,以老师问同学答的有效互动形式自由谈论他们所宠爱的hero并说明理由,提高了“说”的力气。然后是Workbook “talking”部分的四幅人物图像的呈现,以图片呈现的形式激励同学用英语进行语言实践活动,然后归纳出英雄的一个模糊标准,为课文学习做好铺垫。之后正式人物曼德拉的登场,进入主题伊莱亚斯眼中的曼德拉。快速阅读部分训练同学的快速阅读力气并让同学对文章的梗概有所了解,对中心人物与背景有确定的印象。在细读过程中,依据课文的内容,问题设计以伊莱亚斯的人生进展为贯穿总线,同时以曼德拉赐予他的影响为副线,环
18、环相扣,层层递进,检查同学对文章的理解程度。在同学把握课文内容并有了确定量的信息输入之后,给同学制造情境,让同学将所学的学问真实地运用到情境交际中,达到巩固学问与信息输出的目的。在此,依据同学的认知水平,我们设计两个不同难度系数的任务。任务1:Suppose you were Nelson Mandela or Nelson Mandelas wife, would you like to tell us something impressive? 这里我们期望同学从伊莱亚斯外的角度来述说事情的进展过程,与文章的写作手法呼应,并巩固所学学问。任务2:四人小组活动,一个导游与三个游客之间的沟通活
19、动。相对任务1,任务2情境更加生动,更加开拓思维,能够把交际实践与阅读有机结合起来并培育了同学的合作精神。作业的布置一个是让同学在复习课文的同时找出好词好句,另一个是让他们以四人为一个小组,课外用各种媒体工具去找有关曼德拉更多的资料,也是为下节课做预备。 其次课时是第一课时阅读的巩固,延长,升华。先通过对错问答检测对课文内容的生疏程度,然后通过查找好词好句来呈现词汇与表达,并通过短文填空对词汇进行运用与内化。巩固了上一堂课的内容,进入延长部分一篇听力短文:伊莱亚斯叙述了他为了争取与白人有公正的权利而参与了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。为了让同学进入听的状态,先为同学营造语境,由生疏的passb
20、ook引出话题,通过问题的形式先让同学猜想当时的情景,这样能激发同学用英语进行实践活动并为听力作好预备,然后再自然过渡到听力部分。这样同学在听的时候就有个心理预备,作好了铺垫。到此关于曼德拉的故事基本接近尾声,那么我们可以从中学习到什么呢?同学在这个环节进一步生疏并巩固了课文。开放式争辩后,我们把目光从曼德拉身上投到其他伟人那里,在这里我们有选择的利用了课文pre-reading部分的四位伟人的图片,争辩四个不同领域的伟人后,思考“What qualities do you think are needed to make a great person?”至此我们总结了伟人应具备的一些品质和所
21、拥有的共同点。那么,这些优秀品质里,你最观赏哪些?你身边有拥有这样品质的人吗?又是怎么体现的呢?这个争辩把书本与我们的生活又结合起来,让同学明白拥有这些品质并不是伟人所特有的,通过树立正确的人生观,提高自我素养,我们也可以做的到。作业的布置是让同学收集更多伟人的事迹,复习的同时并预习好练习册里的阅读。构建学问框架,形成完整的学问系统性。第三课时的支配是作为整个单元阅读的一个升华。在上一堂课里应用了课文Pre-reading的一部分,明白了伟人应具备的一些品质,但是我们还遗留了一个问题:是不是名人就是伟人呢?综观这个单元的素材,发觉练习册中的阅读部分格外适合这个环节,因此这里我们用比尔.盖茨这个
22、同样具有争议的人代替Pre-reading中的阿姆斯特朗,至此对Pre-reading进行了拆分,并与阅读有机组合在一起。首先老师以问题“As we know, most of the great people are also important and famous, but are important people the great ones?”进行过渡与引起留意。然后导入比尔.盖茨的图片,先在没有任何输入的状态下,让同学用已学的表达方式来表达他们对这个人物的看法,操练巩固 “Expressing ideas”的语言功能,其实这也是大脑风暴的热身过程。之后,依次呈现两篇基于不同立场与角
23、度的有关比尔.盖茨文章,利用阅读技巧搜寻有用信息后,形成表格进行对比,再让同学debate whether he is a great man, 这里让同学能有条理地表达个人的见解,培育他们独到的见解。老师最终总结出成为伟人的必备条件,而明显比尔.盖茨并不具备。其次环节是练习册中的 “Listening task”, 从上一环节同学对比尔.盖茨的不同看法上升到人们从不同角度看问题会产生不同的看法的理论高度。在训练听的力气的同时也熬炼辩证的思维力气。最终的环节也是本课时的高潮部分,首先以一段“感动中国”中洪战辉的事迹的影音视频进行导入,争辩他是不是感动大家,为什么?是不是符合了“great ma
24、n”的定义?那么我们身边有没有类似的人呢?在这里,“great man” 的定义得到了延长与扩展,生活中那些平凡但是为了集体崇高的抱负,放弃个人利益而不断努力克服困难的一般民众,他们也是我们心目中的“great man”。作业是让同学写一个方案,考虑怎样才能进一步向心目中的“great man”的标准靠拢。这个作业的布置是人性化的,具有弹性的,开拓了同学的发散性思维,同时也是对同学自身品质的一次自我审查。第四课时本课时的重点是语法定语从句的关系副词(when, where, why)和介词+关系代词。由于在第四单元已经对定语从句有了基本的了解,所以在这里我们要做的是遵循同学的认知规律,难度适中
25、,循序渐进的进行语法的教学,加深理解,提高实际运用力气。首先以基于阅读课文的问答式引出课文中毁灭的四句很具有代表性的定语从句,复习了课文也引出了本单元的重点语言现象定语从句。然后呈现一个有关定语从句的Flash动画,形象生动,活跃气氛。接下来通过一组练习来同时复习一下上个单元的语法项关系代词,起到承上启下的作用。再导入两个例句1. We were put in a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government2. The person to whom you s
26、hould be grateful for a peaceful South Africa is Nelson Mandela.让同学观看这两个句子与其他句子的不同,并通过一组练习,让同学知道介词是怎么产生的和怎么选择合适的介词。那么怎么解决这三个关系副词呢?依据同学的认知规律,我们设计了三个句子为一组,分别体现which-at/ in /on which-when; which-in which-where; which-for which-why 的演化过程。接下来进行有针对性的练习操练,练习的设计也是从易到难循序渐进,先是连线题,再是补充定语从句部分,最终的练习是用定语从句把两个单句组成
27、一句话,让同学的学习力气阶梯式的加强。学习的最终目的是输出,也是应用于交际中,所以本课时的最终给同学设计了一个输出的任务四人一组活动,应用定语从句,谈谈你生活中的五件印象最深刻的事情,人物,地点,时间等。这个活动贴近同学的生活实际,内容丰富,让同学有话可讲。作业布置:1.把最终一个活动再连续深化,编为一篇短文。2. 完成课本里大量丰富的相关练习,此时是同学巩固的最好机会。第五课时是写作课,响应新课程对写作的重视,我们特殊在本学期强调了写作的教学。在本课时中,首先通过对上一堂课作业定语从句短文的呈现,既检查了作业,又巩固了语法,也过渡到人物写作这个中心话题。整堂课是依据作文的组成部分为线索开放的
28、,先是关注写作里词汇的处理,留意选词对文章的印象,在这里我们充分利用了练习册第70页的这篇文章填空,在两个相像词汇之间的选择,让同学明白了措辞的重要性。之后,让同学回答在本单元习得的有用词汇,通过71页的翻译句子运用这些刚学的新词汇。假如说词汇是文章的血肉,那么结构与提纲就是骨架。回到70页的这篇数学家的介绍,通过师生问答,让同学归纳出这篇文章的提纲,然后给同学机会尝试写一个介绍曼德拉的提纲。因本单元中毁灭信的写作,为了把书本与练习册两个写作结合起来,我们设计了如下的任务:Suppose the magazine “Global People” begins its annual activi
29、ty of choosing the top ten great men in 20th century, will you write a letter to support Nelson Mandela? 这样同学既实际练习了写信,也学会怎么介绍与描述一个人。最终我们期望同学能把新学的词汇、句型与语法运用到作文里面,把整个单元的学习很好地加以输出。补充:考虑到每个学校每个班级教学与同学的差异,我们没有对语言点进行单独备课,但是给大家预备了 “Language supermarket”,里面资料详尽,供各位老师依据教学实际状况自由选择。四、单元预习任务(Pre-unit Activities
