教学过程
Step Ⅰ 学习理解
活动一:感知与注意
1. Brainstorm.
Before reading, ask students to discuss the following questions.
·What kinds of parks have you been to What were they like
·When you think of national parks, what comes to mind first
Suggested answers
·I have been to city parks. City parks are outdoor places where people relax.
·When I think of national parks, I think of places of extreme natural beauty, usually far away from any city.
2. Look and talk.
Show students the following pictures of the Sarek National Park and ask them to talk about the pictures.
【设计意图】在阅读前,通过看图和讨论问题,激活学生对公园的已有认知,通过观察关于萨勒克国家公园的相关图片,学生直观了解萨勒克国家公园的基本情况,形成阅读前的期待和阅读的兴趣,期待了解更多关于萨勒克国家公园及萨米人的情况。
活动二:概括与整合(Use subheadings)
1.策略学习
Explain the learning strategy to students to make them understand what it is.
2.策略运用
Ask students to skim the text and match the subheadings with the paragraphs.
·A land of Mountains and ice ·Man at Peace with Nature ·A Land of Adventure ·A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
Suggested answers:
1—A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
2—A Land of Mountains and Ice
3—Man at Peace with Nature
4—A Land of Adventure
【设计意图】学习策略是新课程标准的一个重要目标。对于策略的学习,首先要进行策略示范,让学生明白策略的内容、具体的作用,以及如何正确使用等知识,然后教师示范,最后让学生在实际语篇中使用策略,体会策略的意义和价值。
活动三:获取与梳理(Get to know about the Sami)
An Information Gap.
Ask students to read the text and fill in the Information Gap below.
For student A:
The Sami
Place of residence
First time to arrive
way of life
the reindeer's meat
tools
the reindeer's skin
flat bread warmed over a fire; dried reindeer meat; some sweet and sour berries
where to live
Today living place
·most live a modern life just like their neighbours. ·a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions
For student B:
People
Sarek mountains near the Arctic Circle
around 9,000 years ago
In the past looking after reindeer
food
the reindeer's bones
clothes
breakfast
tents or cottages
houses in villages near Sarek
way of life
【设计意图】教师在设计和指导阅读活动时,应该充分利用信息差(Information Gap)设计情景,启发学生运用正确、得体的语言把信息连贯起来,获取、梳理出有关萨米人的住所、食物、工具、服饰、传统、习俗、生活方式等信息。通过整合文本信息,建立文本信息关联,形成对萨米人的认识,感知和理解语言所表达的意义,从而达到阅读的目的。成功的信息差任务型活动应该充满信息差,信息差的存在是传递信息和获取信息的动力,也使阅读任务更加有意义。
Step Ⅱ 应用实践
活动四:分析与判断(Deep understanding of the text)(Part 3,P27)
Ask students to read the text again and try to answer the questions below.
·How many hours a day does the sun shine in summer in Sarek
·What steps has the Swedish government taken to keep Sarek in its natural state
·How has life changed for the Sami Why might so few Sami want to live in
Sarek
·Why does the writer think the sweat and hard work is worth it
·Would you like to visit Sarek Why or why not
Suggested answers:
·24 hours a day.
·It was made a national park, no one besides the Sami can live there, and new development is banned.
·They no longer herd reindeer—they live modern lives in cities. They might not want to live in Sarek because life there is quite hard.
·It is a beautiful and wild place, and the writer is enjoying a great adventure.
·I would love to visit there, because it looks wild and wonderful.
【设计意图】深层阅读强调学生对文本内容、结构的深度思考,并在思考过程中完成文本含义的初步建构、解构与重构的过程,强调对英语文化的理解与东西方两种文化契合点的探寻,这对核心素养培育具有重要意义。
活动五:描述与阐释(Get to know about Sarek National Park)(Part 4,P27)
1.Ask students to read the text and discuss:Are these senses used to describe Sarek in the text?If so,explain how.
Sight Touch Smell Taste Sound
2.Ask students to describe Sarek National Park from the five aspects.
Suggested answers:
Sight: Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valley below... At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage is visible, Close by, there are a few reindeer feeding on grass.
Touch: Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me, my bag weighs about 30 kilograms. If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley.
Smell: Here I am, alone... breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure.
Taste: For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
Sound: I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent.
【设计意图】在学习理解类活动的基础上,通过使用所学语言从五种感观角度描述与阐述萨勒克国家公园,实现对语言知识和文化知识的内化,深化对文本意义的理解,既可以发展学生的逻辑思维能力,也可以提高语言表达能力。
活动六:内化与运用(Complete)(Part5,P27)

Step Ⅲ 迁移创新
活动七:推理与论证(Critical thinking)(Part6,P27)
Ask students to discuss the questions and share the answers.
·Is it worth making a place like Sarek a national park?Give your reasons.
·Do you think setting up national parks is an effective way to balance development and the protection of nature?Why or why not?
Suggested answers:
·Yes. People can go there and appreciate the beauty of nature, and therefore better understand the importance of nature protection.
·Yes, it is an effective way. Only a very small part of the world has been set aside for national parks, so there are still plenty of places that can be developed without having to touch the most beautiful and Interesting natural spots.
【设计意图】推理与论证建立萨勒克国家公园是否值得和建立一个国家公园是否是一种平衡发展和自然保护的有效方式,并给出理由,深化对主题意义的探究,也有助于提高学生多元思维的能力。
