7.设计思路 Success 这一单元属于人与自我主题语境中的做人与做事。本单元的主题意义在于构建对success 的认知、态度和行为选择,基于这个主题意义,本单元的教学目标应该分为三块:认识什么是成功;知晓如何获得成功以及理解成功的内涵。在单元主题意义的引领下对单元内的语篇进行整合、重组:Lesson1 的语篇内容是通过大学教授的故事讲述了成功的含义的价值;Lesson2 的语篇内容是通过成功人士的例子阐述成功的五个秘诀,语篇主题为获得成功的五个秘诀;Lesson 3 的语篇内容是一位奥运铁人三项运动员在微博上分享自己的故事,讲述自己在日常生活和训练中所遇到的种种问题,以及自己如何应对和解决的方法。 本文重点通过阅读技巧---辨别正误来推进文章内容,引导学生找出作者所遭遇的具体困难。这不仅促进学生获得语言知识,提升阅读能力,锻炼思维品质。同时,通过分析作者努力争取到达顶峰的原因,教师引导学生在今后的学习和人生道路中以要积极乐观拼搏的态度面对困难,帮助学生树立一个正确的价值取向。
