Teaching reflection 本节课主要内容是八年级下册第五单元长篇阅读,课堂上大部分同学能够在课堂上积极参与,能够配合教师进行完成教学任务,因此本节课的教学任务能够按预期完成,教学目标也基本达成。 首先,本节课开始时,采用擦黑板活动,激发学生的积极性和课堂参与度,同时缓解课堂开始时的紧张气氛;紧接着在处理阅读前的障碍时,由于学生基础较弱,该部分花费时间较长,导致课堂节奏有前松后紧之感;该部分的处理,如果放在课前进行强化,那么课堂节奏可能就不会出现那种情况。另外,在处理文章的详细信息时,让学生在课文中找相关信息,然后在文中划线,该部分要是让学生在练习本中写出来,那么可能收到不一样的效果;并且该部分可以找学生上黑板完成该部分的任务,然后进行一起check,那么指导会更加明确。在拓展马丁路德金和911事件的相关背景的时候,如果能够通过问题的形式呈现会不会更有意义?例如,What’s Martin Luther King’s skin color What did he do at that time so that he was killed What’s the name of his famous speech What prize did he get?而针对911事件,例如,What was the world Trade Center Who took down the world Trade Center What is terrorist ,and so on.最后,试想如果教学任务都以分值的形式呈现出来,并且整个课堂采用积分制,那么学生的参与度会不会更高呢 课堂的效果会不会更好呢?
