Module 1 Unit 3 Travel journal
1.Objectives: At the end of the class, the students will be able to (1)find the specific information from the text; (2) guess and work out the meaning of the new words based on context and pictures; (3) express their opinions about the writer’s trip plan or the preparation of their dream trip. 2.Procedures: Step I Pre-reading Let the students talk briefly about their travel experiences to lead into the topic. Questions: (1)Have you done some traveling before? (2) Where have you been? (3) How did you go there? (4) Have you thought of going there by bike? 设计意图:让学生谈论自己的旅游经历引出本课话题,紧密联系学生生活实际,引起学生兴趣。 Step II While-reading (1)Ask the students to read the title and the subtitles and answer some simple questions about the text. 设计意图:使学生通过读文章标题和副标题学会预测文章内容,训练学生的逻辑思维能力。 (2) Ask the students to scan the whole passage and search for some general information. (3) Ask the students to skim Paragraph 1 and find out its main idea. (4) Ask the students to read Paragraph 2 and find out some detailed information. (5) Ask the student to share their answers to the questions listed. (6) Let the students read the passage for the meaning of some new words and phrases. (7)Ask the students to summarize the main idea of Paragraph 2 and use their own words to describe what happened in this paragraph. (8) Ask the students to guess what may happen next in Paragraph 3. (9) Ask the students to read Paragraph 3 quickly for detailed information. (10) Check the answers. Step III Comprehension activity (1) Ask the students to read Paragraph 3 and work out where the Mekong River starts and ends and write them down on the worksheet. (2) Ask the students to circle the words of landforms in the text. (3) Check the answers with the students. Write them on the blackboard. (4) Provide some pictures for the students to identify the landforms. (5) The students work in groups of four. Ask them to read the passage and stick the pictures of landforms in the proper places on the worksheet. (6) Check the answers and ask them to describe the views along the Mekong River. (7) Ask the students to read the map and find the countries the Mekong River goes through. (8) Check the answers. (9)Ask the students to summarize the main idea of Paragraph 3. 设计意图:本文各段均没有中心句,段意需要学生自己归纳总结。教师通过设问,从细节出发,以引导学生归纳段落大意。教师需要充分考虑学生在阅读过程中理解上的障碍和困难,通过选取典型生词进行教学,这样不仅可以帮助学生学会利用上下文推测词义,而且可以帮助其扫清生词障碍。教师可使用直观的图片教授生词,以帮助于学生牢记生词。 Step IV Post-reading (1) Group discussion: Divide the students into groups of four. Let each group choose one question listed to talk about. The students are supposed to express their opinions on the trip plan or what to do to prepare for their own trip. Q1. What do you think of their plan? Why? Q2. If you have a dream trip, what could be done to make it come true? List what could be done. (2) Prediction: Ask the students to predict what may happen in Part 2. 设计意图: 设计这两道讨论题的目的是引导学生思考、训练学生的逻辑思维能力。问题1与课文结合紧密一些,要求学生对课文中的旅行计划进行评价,适合中等水平的学生选做;问题2是开放性问题,需要学生利用学过的知识,发挥想像力,目的是培养学生的创造性思维,适合水平较高的学生选做。讨论后设计对第二部分阅读内容的预测旨在培养学生的预测能力。 Step V Homework (1) Find more information about the Mekong online. (2) Read Journey down the Mekong Part 2. 专家点评 北京市教育科学研究院基础教育教学研究中心英语教研员 张玲棣 在阅读教学中关注词汇的处理和学生逻辑思维能力的发展是杨立宪老师这节阅读课的特点。一节好课应当展现学生达成教学目标的学习过程。围绕本课教学目标,杨老师设计了“读前”“读中”和“读后”活动,且活动都是以学生活动为主进行描述的,体现了课程标准中通过课堂学习让学生能够做事情的要求。 首先,这节课的主要特点之一是在阅读过程中训练学生的逻辑思维能力。例如在“读前”活动中让学生通过阅读课文标题和副标题预测课文内容,训练了课标要求的“预测”这一学生应当掌握的阅读策略和逻辑思维的能力;在“读后”活动中通过思维导图,引导学生思考,训练了他们逻辑思维的能力。 其次,本课的另一个特点是在阅读中处理词汇,帮助学生扫清理解中的生词障碍。杨老师从课文中选取了一些典型的生词,并将其分类,使学生学会采用不同的方式处理不同的生词。例如,用非文字的方式处理了一组影响理解的话题词汇,通过设计几个小活动,让学生利用图片认识一些关于landscape的非课标词汇,帮助他们理解课文内容。 建议在“读后”活动前补充一个控制性的练习步骤,让学生回忆一下之前学过的课文内容,以保证后面讨论的顺利进行。 (根据张玲棣老师评课录像整理)
