Unit 2 MORALS AND VIRTUES Period 5 Video & Expanding your world & Project
语篇研读
该板块的视频内容主题是“孔子与仁”( Confucius and Ren )。孔子是我国儒家学说的创始人,他把“仁” 视为道德的最高准则。千百年来,“仁”这一思想已渗透在中华民族的思想观念中。孔子所倡导的“仁”的 思想该如何理解 它体现了哪些内涵 “仁”的思想对现代人又有何意义 该视频主要围绕这些问题来展开 叙述的。视频中有两位专家还分别从各自的视角分享了对“仁”的理解。该视频为学生学习用英语讲述中 国优秀传统文化提供了示范，也为学生将来的跨文化交流打下语言基础。 阅读练习册中 Expanding Your World 部分的内容，介绍了理解儒家的“仁义礼智信”等理念。 本单元的项目活动主题是“制作海报以激励他人践行美德”(Make a poster to motivate othersto practise virtues)。通过学习本单元的中外人物故事或道德故事，学生会发现在人物品格、价值观和社会交往等 层面，许多美德是被全世界人民认可并一致推崇的，比如诚实、友善、敬业、爱国、勇敢、感恩等。 活动 1 要求学生开展“头脑风暴”，列出更多的美德词汇， 并选出当今社会最需要的美德。活动 2 则要求 学生收集与美德相关的名言警句,制作宣传海报，鼓励大家践行这些美德。让学生收集、积累和记忆美 德格言，理解其中的道理和内涵，不仅仅是为了语言学习和知识积累，同时还有利于塑造学生的优良 品格，引导他们树立正确的世界观、人生观和价值观。
学情分析
高一学生基础薄弱，词汇积累欠缺；对于视频学习，学生更加容易接受，更感兴趣，不过由于词汇的 限制，学生未能深入获取知识，容易看漏内容；对于道德与美德也有了全新的认识，形成正确的人生 观，但处于半成熟阶段，仍需要进一步加强其道德修养；对于孔子的认识也有一定的积累，不过相关 的英语词汇还有所欠缺，需要加强学习。
