Unit4 Reading and Thinking 名师教学设计
文本分析∶
该板块的阅读语篇是一篇科普文。文章按照时间顺序简要介绍了人类探索太空的历史,共有五个段落,分别叙述了以下内容:(1)人类一直对未知的太空充满好奇心;(2)从20世纪中期开始,美国和苏联在太空探索领域取得了举世瞩目的成就;(3)尽管遭遇了一些挫折和灾难,通往太空之路也充满艰险,但人类探索太空的决心不曾改变;(4)中国的太空探索计划虽然起步较晚,但是发展迅速,成就显著;(5)人类探索太空的脚步会越迈越远,前途也将是一片光明。除了列举一些著名的历史性事件以外,文章还对科学家和宇航员们不畏困难、刻苦钻研、勇担重任、无私奉献的精神表达出赞美之情。
教学思路:
本课的主题是"太空探索"(space exploration)。学生通过听说课已初步了解中国太空探索中的几位知名航天员,所以导入就从航天员开始,读前通过标题和图片预测文章内容。本文和其他文本不同的是有四个句子被抽出分别设成了ABCD四句话,要还原回去。因此活动1就是通过七选五技巧把句子还原回去。活动2是判断文章体裁。活动3通过划出关键句或关键词进一步提炼段落大意并高度提炼成以“dream”为线索的大意。活动4对2.3.4段细节做了进一步的处理。最后的讨论环节让学生思考是什么使得人类有可能实现太空梦。最后总结SPACE所包含的内涵。
教学活动:

Summary
Our world is a community with a shared future for mankind. In the future, to further develop space exploration, we need to keep studying, persevering and anticipating for more outcomes. In the process, it may cost a lot even people’s lives, but we will never stop exploring. That’s the spirit of SPACE.
