第一课时 课型 Reading
教学目标 1.通过借助图片、标题等预测文章内容。 2.通过快速阅读获取与梳理故事的基本要素,感知水从自然界进入家庭的全过程。 3.通过仔细阅读,描述水的旅程,阐释并分析其原因,内化与巩固所学语言知识。 4.通过思考和讨论,加深对故事主题的理解,提炼自己的观点,创造性的解决如何节约用水的问题。
教学内容 分析 What: 主阅读语篇是一篇介绍水的“旅程”的想象故事。通过“一滴水”和女孩Dora的对话,揭示了水从自然界进入家庭的过程。学生这一话题十分熟悉,文本难度中等。 How: 主阅读这一语篇按照先后顺序描述了水滴从自然界进入家庭的过程。篇章采用了拟人化的手法,文章中有很多生动有趣的语言。让学生懂得水资源的珍贵,从而树立节约用水、保护水资源的观念。 Why: 阅读语篇采用了拟人化的手法,语言生动有趣,旨在提升学生的阅读兴趣,更好地理解整个篇章的主旨大意,从而领悟到水对于家庭生活动的重要性。
学情分析 本课的授课对象为七年级学生,经过一个学期的初中英语学习,学生已经初步具备一定的语言能力;本语篇是一则想象故事,语言生动活泼,文本互动性较强,学生容易进入阅读情境;此外本语篇的话题“水的旅程”,主要聚水从自然界进入家庭的过程,学生对此话题比较熟悉,容易产生阅读期待。
教学重难点 本课学习的重点是感知、梳理并学会使用相应的动词短语描绘“水”从自然界进入家庭的过程;难点是领悟故事的主题,从中提炼自己的观点,进而提出创造性地解决节约用水的问题。
教学策略 本单元授课主要采用情境性教学策略,学生在教师的引导和启发下逐步探索水从自然界进入家庭的旅程,阅读过程中演绎与推理两种方式相结合,学生通过自主学习,深入思考和交流合作等方式完成本课学习任务。
