Unit 10? 1+2
設(shè)計思想
1. 素材分析。
(1)文本特征。這部分一共兩個文本,一篇短文和一個對話,內(nèi)容都和John White的興趣愛好有關(guān)。
(2)文本特點。文本篇幅適中,語言較淺顯。文章的主人公John White喜歡航海,所以文中出現(xiàn)的詞匯大多和大海和天氣又關(guān),如:sailing、dolphin、storm等。第一個文本,是對John White這個人的簡單介紹,使用的是一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài);第二個文本,John和他妻子Pauline的通話內(nèi)容,使用的是現(xiàn)在進行時態(tài)。
2. 教學(xué)策略。
3. 學(xué)情分析。
4. 重點和難點。
教學(xué)目標
At the end of the lesson, students are expected to know about John White and his hobby and learn the new words: journey, take a year off, sail, around the world, dolphin, whale, bathroom, have a shower, make good progress, close, South Africa, a strong wind, start. Be able to use the new words properly in the composition ‘My dads hobby and use the present simple and present continuous correctly.

教學(xué)反思
英語閱讀在初中英語教學(xué)中非常重要,在近幾年的中考中,閱讀題的分值也越來越重。那么如何上好一堂英語閱讀課呢?
一、需選擇適合的語言材料
1. 文章篇幅要適中。文章太長,一節(jié)課不能完成,閱讀任務(wù)太簡單,學(xué)生容易失去興趣。因為10單元Ex. 1篇幅較短,所以筆者把練習(xí)2的對話也安排到了這堂閱讀課中。
2. 難易度要適中。要選擇比本班學(xué)生水平稍高的語言材料,但不能要求太高,否則會挫傷學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的銳氣和積極性,而這次10單元的閱讀材料稍顯簡單。
3. 有可讀性。閱讀內(nèi)容要有趣、有料,這樣才能激發(fā)學(xué)生想讀下去的興趣。
二、課堂提問需精心準備
在針對這次閱讀材料設(shè)計討論或思考題時,筆者主要的原則還是基于文本,從學(xué)生的英語能力考慮,沒有安排靈活性較大的討論,課后筆者覺得應(yīng)該更相信學(xué)生,應(yīng)該為他們設(shè)定更高的目標,而不是去將就他們。比如,練習(xí)1最后一句話是‘John wants to … ,其實真的不應(yīng)該怕冷場而不給學(xué)生思考的機會。再比如,可以把最后的閱讀輸出活動改成討論‘What do you think of John Whites decision?
三、在教學(xué)過程中教會學(xué)生有效的閱讀方法和技巧
1. 猜詞義。猜詞義的方法有很多,比如根據(jù)上下文猜單詞的意思(常見短語和單詞:that is to say,in other words ,such as,for example ,though,however … )以及同義詞﹑反義詞或詞根等。除通過上下文猜詞義外還可以根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法猜詞義。例如,-tion, -ness,等是名詞后綴,un-, -less,等表示否定的前后綴,學(xué)會了這些,我們就可以很容易地猜出一些詞匯的意思。
2. 掃讀(skimming)讓學(xué)生在短時間內(nèi)了解作者的寫作意圖。
3. 跳讀(scanning)訓(xùn)練學(xué)生快速捕捉重要信息的能力。
4. 細讀(detailed-reading)讓學(xué)生仔細閱讀文章,深入抓取文章細節(jié)內(nèi)容,了解各段落的主要內(nèi)容和各段落之間的關(guān)系。
提高閱讀能力不是一蹴而就的事情,需要教師不斷學(xué)習(xí)提高,從而幫助學(xué)生更快成長。
