课后反思
整节课环节完整,教学过程流畅,教学目标基本实现。导入部分简洁高效,由采访视频开场,用学生熟悉的老师对自己外貌的观点来迅速活跃气氛,引入话题。读中部分学生用自己的语言概括文中三人对自己外貌的观点,获取文章主要信息及写作大意,并在分享印象最深的故事时表达自己对外貌的见解,在交流、探究、分享中深入思考主题意义。本节课的设计亮点在于读后的对话中,老师鼓励学生走上讲台诉说自己外貌的困惑并向同伴寻求方案。学生创造性地利用文本语言,在真实的情境下综合运用语言,在活泼生动的对话中,促进学生相互合作,展示能力,充分表达自己对主题思想的理解和认识。
事实证明,学生的语言表达流利,课堂展示大方,效果超出预期,表达出他们对美的认识的深化以及“自信做自己”的勇气,形成正确的自我认知和审美观。如何做更好的自己这个问题的设置,引发学生思考如何在接受自己、树立自信的基础上成为更好的自己,思考内在美与外在美的关系,不断提高个人修养。课堂小结以一首贴近主题的歌曲“Who says”结束,歌词引人思考,曲调朗朗上口,为学生熟知和喜爱。学生在大声朗读 “I don’t need to be anybody else; I am just the beautiful me; I got every right to beautiful life. I love myself!”这段话时,又一次加深对主题的认识,树立悦纳自己、爱自己的积极人生态度。
但是这节课同样存在着一些问题。教师对学生的评价较为单一,应该采用更丰富和鼓励性的语言回应学生;教师板书的整齐度和速度还有待提高;课堂指令语言不够精炼等。
