北师大版（2019） 选修一Unit 2 Success Lesson 3 Getting to the Top Reading 教学设计

Unit 2 Success Lesson 3 Reading课例
教学内容：Getting to the top & Reading Club 1 Contribution and sacrifice
话题目标：成功需要奉献和牺牲，也是不同的人生选择
主课文Getting to the top文本分析:
主题意义：该文为一篇博客，主要内容是一位奥运冠军介绍自己的成功之路和人生选择，展现了她对体育事业的热爱和不畏他人言论力争奥运冠军的人生态度，属于“人与自我”主题。其主题意义在于引发学生对成功的理性思考，客观地认识他人获得的成功，批判性地审视作者的人生选择。
主要内容：该文从一位奥运冠军的视角介绍她的成功之路和人生选择。作者通过介绍自己从小到大的亲身经历，阐述了为什么挑战自己的能力极限并一路走向奥运冠军领奖台。作者先是讲述了由于长期专注于训练而失去和错过的生活，同时也引入了朋友的顾虑，担心她会失去生活只剩一块奥运金牌独自分享。作者接着分析了自己做出这样选择的原因，并进一步表明要想战胜对手，就要多付出那么一点点，而正是多付出的这一点使她能够达到顶峰。
文体结构：该文是一篇英文博客。主要由三部分构成：第一部分讲述了外界对作者的质疑，让读者体会到她运动生涯面临着极大地压力，吸引读者了解她选择这种生活方式的原因。第二部分讲述作者自己内心的纠结，扪心自问，为了追求奥运冠军所做出的放弃是否值得。第三部分阐述了作者走向成功的原因，即为了奥运冠军做出牺牲的真正原因，证明了自己的人生选择。
语言修辞：作者采用了对比的手法表现面临外界压力时的内心纠结和经过反思后对自己人生选择的肯定。作者通过几个问句表达了自己内心的痛苦，如：Don’t they know how hard it is to be at the top in sport Don’t they know what it takes to get there who am I doing this for How much is too much Why am I doing this How can I be so selfish What are the sacrifices for 此外，作者通过自问自答的方式清楚地表达了对人生选择的肯定。在描写的过程中，作者使用大量地道的语言生动地描写情景、事物、表现人物的情感。
作者意图：作者希望学生通过学习这篇文章，能够理性思考、客观地认识他人获得的成功，批判性地审视作者的人生选择。学生通过进一步深入理解文本，可以对作者的人生选择给予理解并加以评价，同时，根据自己的实际情况对自我成功做出理性思考并阐述个人观点。
拓展课文Reading Club1文本综合分析：本篇为记叙文，记叙了中国著名的地球物理学家黄大年秉持科技报国理想，把为祖国富强、民族振兴、人民幸福贡献力量作为毕生追求，为我国教育科研事业做出了突出贡献直至失去生命的事迹。它同时也是记叙文的一种特殊形式——人物传记。人物传记最大的语言结构特点是按照时间线记录主要人物的生平，包括出生、求学或工作经历、困难、主要成就、死亡、社会价值。穿插于时间线里的另外一条写作线索就是原因线索，即“为什么”。
设计理念：以话题和技能为线编排教学，把课堂还给学生，教师通过问题的逐步深入引导血生积极思考，通过生生相互讨论和合作，用语言表达自己的看法，形成批判性思维。真正实现以学生为中心的交际教学。语言教学要求学习者用语言做事，将词汇教学穿插阅读中，可以实时巩固操练。
教学设计思路：根据单元话题的目标达成和课型特点，Lesson 3和Reading Club 1的选材在话题上具有相似性，因此将二者合并，Reading club 1作为对lesson 3的有益补充，促成话题理解，共3课时完成。第一课时侧重阅读策略（预测策略）和篇章大意梳理；第二课时为获取事实阅读和细节推理理解，并形成对该运动员的看法；第三课时了解Reading club 1中科学家黄大年的相关信息，并比对两篇文章中主人公，批判性地形成对成功的理解，树立正确的人生观和价值观。宏观上以话题情感目标实现为主线，微观上关注技能渗透，词汇教学。通过语篇学习活动，学生能够获得并巩固语言知识，解析语篇内容和结构，培养阅读策略，养成阅读习惯。
作业设计：三个课时的作业兼顾考虑到复习和预习的功能作用。
课时 作业 目的
1 Reading for facts: the situation the writer faces. 1、学生自主阅读，利用查找等手段获取相关事实信息。 2、为下一课时课堂讨论节约更多时间。
2 Complete the summary. Watch a micro-lecture and finish relative tasks according to the clues of the micro-lecture. 巩固全文。 微课指导学生做课后拓展阅读。 为下一课时的翻转课堂教学准备。
3 Role play. 角色扮演内化语言，巩固学习内容，形成批判性观点。
教学方法：活动教学，翻转课堂，微课
教学策略：常规阅读程序（大意、事实、推理、批判性思考）及答题策略，渗透阅读策略（预测的技能、提炼篇章大意的技能）
教学思路导图：
强调几个核心问题：
教法：
1、先语言输入再到语言输出，语言输出的目的是为了用目的语展示思维品质的形成。
2、活动贯穿教学始终。
3、两篇文章要关注话题大意、事实细节、推理判断、批判性思考、拓展性思考（可根据大是大非有标准，个人选择无对错的原则）。
4、问题设计要能体现对学生呈梯度式的引导过程。
两个理解：
1、Getting to the top在文中指“Olympic Champion”, 也能理解为作者在自己领略中的success.
2、问题 “How to get to the top ” 要考虑到对于success标准的理解，而这个标准又是仁者见仁智者见智，无法统一。故要寻求另一个参照物，即“他人”。所以，此问题理解时应强调“do extra little bit”。有两者理解：一是比别人多做一点，二是比自己规定的要多做一点。
一个对比：
（小）文章 Getting to the top Contribution and sacrifice
（大）观念 I choose./ I give up/ sacrifice. I stick to it. I strive. I succeed/ get to the top. Contribute to the motherland. Sacrifice his health
强化区别 我要我的成功， 放弃许多、努力为成功。 海外求学归故里， 不胃牺牲为祖国。
批判性思考 学生追求成功同时也应关注健康，以确保长久的成功，发挥更大价值。

A possible version: This article introduces her road to success and her life choices from the perspective of an Olympic champion. By introducing his own personal experience from childhood to adulthood, the author explains why he challenges his own limits of ability. The author first tells of her friends’ worries and his own fears. He goes on to analyze the reasons for her choice, and goes on to suggest that to beat an opponent, it takes a little extra, and that extra extra effort is what enables her to get to the top.
【设计意图】把握博客和传统体裁的区别。通过预测策略方法渗透，引导学生寻求对文章结构性特征的共性探究并较为准确地预判文章大意。
【备注】1、4 conventional categories
Narrative is a kind of literary form which mainly focuses on recording people, narration, scenery and things, and mainly focuses on the experience of characters and the development and change of things.
Argumentative essay, also known as Li Wen, is a style of analyzing things, discussing reason, expressing opinions and putting forward opinions.

Has his pay been recognized by himself What is this for
How do you understand the relationship between it and the topic “success” in this unit
Do you think the athlete is successful Why
What aspects of success do you think this passage emphasizes
T uses the following words to connect the problems above, making a natural transition and guiding students to think positively.
T: Articles should be read in a grand view. There are gains and losses in doing anything. What do you think the athlete’s gains and losses are
In order to get to the top, the author sacrificed a lot. Has his pay been recognized by himself What is this for
The title of the text is “getting to the top”. How do you understand the relationship between it and the topic “success” in this unit
We often regard someone’s getting to the top in a certain field as success. For example, we give “Ma Yun” a nickname “Daddy Ma” because of his great contributions to Internet Economic development. Do you think the athlete is successful Why
There is no doubt that the author has made a lot of efforts to achieve greatness and win the championship. We also think he got to the top in the triathlon（铁人三项赛）. But success is definitely not measured by a line or a certain aspect. What aspects of success do you think this passage emphasizes

Teaching procedures
Step 1 Warm-up
T checks the homework with the whole class.
T: Your last homework is to watch a micro lecture to help you finish reading—— Reading Club 1 Contribution and sacrifice. Now, let’s check how well you did it.
Keys:
Step 2 Referential discussion
According to the fifth paragraph, give an evaluation to Huang Danian in your own words.
How do you understand “to celebrate a life that burned so bright, but was so short”
Suggested answers:
A true scientist. Never give up. Have great faith in and pay attention to the development of the up-and-coming generation.
He didn’t live long but made major advances in his area of expertise. He had a life with great success and achievements.
Step 3 Critical discussion
Compare the two passages ( Lesson 1 & Reading Club 1), discuss the following questions.
What does “getting to the top” refer to What does “contribution” refer to
Talk about their respective gains and losses.
Since they have lost so much, do you still think they are successful What do you think of such a problem
Suggested answers:
“Getting to the top” means doing the best in a field. In this passage, it refers to being an Olympic champion. “Contribution” means an action or a service that helps to cause or increase sth., in the passage, it specifically refers to Huang’s main achievements in geophysical. They can be found in paragraph 3.
The Olympic athlete Huang
Gains Realize his dream, become an Olympic champion and get to the top of the sports. Deserve respect.
Losses Birthday parties, family holidays, nights out. Sacrifice health, and even his life.
There are gains and losses in life. It’s worth losing more for your dream, even you lose your life for your country.
T then points out the differences the two articles emphasize:
The 1st article: I choose.
I strive for it.
I stick to it.
I do little extra thing.
I get to the top.
Sacrifice for one’s own dream.
The 2nd article: Sacrifice for the country.
Step 4 Expansive discussion
Group work to discuss the following question.
Is it worth advocating devoting himself regardless of his personal health worth
T：As we all know, Mr. Yang Zhenning, a famous physicist, is known as an all-round genius in physics. He is now 100 years old. His influence on physics in China and even the world is extremely great. Well, as a top scientist, Mr. Huang Danian has made outstanding contributions to China’s space exploration, but is it worth advocating devoting himself regardless of his personal health worth
(5 minutes later)
T: In my opinion, I think national honor is above all else. When personal interests conflict with national interests, of course, national interests are paramount, even at the expense of precious lives. However, for personal success, health still comes first. You should rest when necessary. You can’t play with health. You know, success is a continuous journey.
【设计意图】引导学生欣赏语篇的深层内涵，对两位成功人士的选择作出理性评判，提升思维能力和迁移创新能力。 同时为下一课“Success is a continuous journey” 铺路。
【备注】板书相关细节的关键词。
【课堂生成记录】学生基本可以主动积极发言，表达自己较为积极的独特观点，部分学生回答有创造性。
Step 4 Homework:
Role play to act out an interview.
Requirements:
work in groups of 3.
3 roles are needed: Huang Danian (interviwee), the athlete (interviewee), the interviewer.
The interview must have the prologue. The host must elaborate questions. The mutual response must be natural, fluent.
【设计意图】角色扮演，模仿真实访谈环境，再现两位成功人士的经历，内化语言运用。
【备注】道具：聚光灯，座椅等
【课堂生成记录】受邀小组均能运用所学知识大胆表达自己，基本能按照要求完成访谈。部分小组（王某某、李某某组）采访者角色缺乏经验，串联过渡缺乏必要语言，衔接不太自然。
