教学过程
Step I 学习理解
活动一:感知与注意(Brainstorm)
Ask students to work in groups and brainstorm some good morals, virtues and some fables or stories about them in Chinese traditional culture.
活动二:获取与梳理(Predict and read)
1.Ask students to read the title and try to predict what story is mainly about?
2.Ask students to read the story and answer the following questions:
(1)What was the kings idea for teaching an important lesson to his people?
(2)What was the response from most of the people
(3)What did the young girl think and do when she saw the coins?
(4)What do you think this fable is trying to tell us?
(5)Was the king wise?Why or why not?
Suggested answers:
(1) He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched to see if anyone move it.
(2) Most of the people complained about the stone but nobody made an attempt to move it.
(3) She thought she must find the owner of the gold coins.
(4) It is trying to tell us that we should all take responsibility for our community, society and country.
(5) ①Yes, he was. Because as a ruler, he should pay attention to his people’s morals and virtues. Only having good morals and virtues could make his people live with each other in harmony, and his country may be in control and prosperous.
②No, he wasn’t. Because few people learnt from his experiment. In the text, the milkman, the woman with water, and the other villagers complained about the stone and continued on their journey. It seemed that the responsibility of the majority is too little just because they are busy with their own things.
【设计意图】通过阅读,让学生了解不同人遇事做出的不同选择,引导学生理智思考,做出正确的选择,为写作提供范例。
活动三:概括与整合
1. Ask students to read the story again and complete the table.
