牛津教材7BU5 Reading What can we learn from others
教学设计说明
第一部分:单元分析
第五单元主要分为两部分内容:第一部分为一则寓言故事,讲述了幸运仙女降临到一家农舍,许诺给贫穷的农夫和他的妻子三个愿望,但都被这对知足的夫妇拒绝,最后她祝福他们幸福健康的故事。从内容上看,通过学习这则故事,可以引导学生学习他们安贫乐道的精神,再利用下一课时以“谁是模范学生”为题的对话交流,将学生的视线从寓言故事拉近到他们的日常生活中,发现、学习身边同学的优点。两个部分都服务于本单元的主题:“我们可以向他人学习什么?”遵循从虚构到真实、从感受到发现的逻辑,本课保持教材的顺序不变。同时,课本每个部分都既有输入环节也有输出环节,对于提升同学们的语用能力有一定帮助,因而在课堂设计中也保留了教材中的教学活动。
同时,本单元是牛津英语七年级下册第二模块“更好的未来”(Better future)的起始单元。从主题来说,“见贤思齐”是迈出了通往“更好的未来”的重要一步,后面紧跟着的是第六单元的“努力”、第七单元的“想象力”、第八单元的“革新力”——这一步步,最终帮我们实现“更好的未来”。
从体裁上说,《快乐的农民夫妇》开启了本册课本的寓言故事体裁,其后的第六、九单元分别讲述了《蚱蜢与蚂蚁》、《大风先生与太阳先生》两则寓言故事。而后两篇寓言故事在文章结构、情节的复杂性上都有一定程度的发展,所以,本课沿用教材的顺序,将第五单元作为模块主题和寓言体裁的切入口。

第二部分:主题思考、文本分析
本课是牛津教材7B Unit5中的Reading: The happy farmer and his wife, 课型为阅读课。
从文本角度来看,本篇文章为童话故事,人物设定清晰、情节简单。文章总共分文八段,第一段介绍了时间、地点、人物、起因,第二段到第九段以幸运仙子和农民夫妇之间的对话展开,上演了“four proposals, four refusals” (“四提四拒”)的情节,最后一段幸运仙子终于“罢休”,在祝福他们幸福、健康之后消失了。文本旨在引导读者学会知足常乐。
从文体特征来看,文章的四幅插图则在学生理解文本是起了很好的辅助作用,可以在预测文章内容、学习词汇、梳理文章脉络、表演输出时好好加以利用。文章的标题为“The happy farmer and his wife”。可以引导同学们根据学习文章后基于自己的理解,重新选定标题,以期锻炼他们的总结概况能力和创造力。
从话题来看,在9年级的牛津教材中,出现了相同母题下的另一则寓言故事《渔夫和他的妻子》。两则故事背景一致,却因为人物的性格、做出的选择产生了强烈的反差式的结果,比较阅读后相信同学们会有更多的收获。而兼顾低年级同学的年龄特点和学情,不宜直接引入《渔夫和他的妻子》这篇长而难的文章,因此课后作业的More Reading选择了《初中阅读新思维》一书中简写版的《渔夫和他的妻子》,并且建议同学们观看《渔夫和他的妻子》动画短片,轻松有趣,寓教于乐。
