The Amazon rainforest in South America is the largest rainforest in the world. It covers five and a half million square kilometres of the Amazon Basin and spreads across nine countries.
The Amazon rainforest is very important because it is home to thousands of animals, birds and insects. However, people are destroying the area by cutting
down many of the trees. This is called “deforestation”. Many living things lose their homes because of deforestation. As a result, the number of kinds of animals, birds, insects and trees in the world is decreasing.

单元名称 Unit 4 Save the trees
单元主题及主要内容分析
主题范畴：人与自然 主题群：自然生态 主题：热爱与敬畏自然，与自然和谐共生 单元话题：拯救树木 主题意义：激发学生对生活中的树木、世界雨林、树木现状的求知欲和好奇心，树立保护树木的意识，能够表达现在正在发生的事情，建立了解树木、探索与树木相关的历史和文化的兴趣。 以下是单元语篇内容分析图和基于单元主题和语篇内容分析形成的单元结构图： 表一：单元教学内容 语篇语篇类型语篇内容语篇主题意义一 Trees in our daily lives访谈对话（读）介绍法国的基本信息了解法国的地理位置、首都、著名景点、饮品、法国的旅游。二 Pine trees应用文(听）介绍松树了解松树的种植和用途。三 Tree Planting Day 看图写话（写）介绍植树节，人们正在做的事情。用现在进行时描述图片正在发生的事情。四 The Amazon rainforest说明文（读）介绍亚马逊雨林的基本情况、现状。呼吁保护雨林。五 Chinese tea 说明文（读）介绍中国茶叶、茶的历史、茶的种类。了解茶文化。
表二：单元大观念：
学情分析
（一）自然情况 本单元围绕“拯救树木”这一话题，开展教学活动，学习树木对人类的影响和重要性、表达植树节时人们正在发生的事情，认识《亚马逊雨林》《中国茶叶》等，初步了解生活中树木的基本情况。符合Module 1 Men’s best friends这个话题的内容探究，以及七年级学生对知识的汲取需求。 （二）已有基础 (1)学生对“生活中的树木”的话题比较熟悉，对树木对人类的重要性有着浓厚的兴趣，并愿意分享。 (2)学生已经基本掌握了课内词汇并能理解现在分词的变化形式和现在进行时的基本构成。约有70%的学生可以准确表达含有现在进行时的句子。 （三）存在问题
生活中的树木属于Men's best friends这个话题，涉及的知识面非常广，学生虽然在小学和七年级上册涉猎了一些，但是比较浅显，涉及的知识面也不够广泛。本单元的教学内容应该站在一个更高更宽广的角度去理解。 （四）解决措施 1.鼓励学生在课堂上积极踊跃发言，尊重每个学生的想法，并给予客观公正的评价，而不是期待唯一的标准答案。 2. 培养学生思考如何谈论生活中的树木、树木对人类的影响和重要性。 3. 在教学过程中，以学生为中心。创设让学生合作交流的学习情境，一起探讨、讨论，共同完成学习任务。并鼓励学生将所学内容与家长进行分享。 4. 教学方式灵活多样，根据学生随堂掌握情况，及时做出调整和改进。 5. 从多角度多维度对学生进行多方位评价。
单元课标要求及学习目标

单元评价设计
本单元课主要是基于主题意义进行单元整体教学的设计，以学生对于主题意义的理解和学习能力的发展为主线，设计体现关联性和递进性的学习活动，旨在向学生理解本单元的话题Save the trees以及相关背景知识，通过主阅读访谈“在我们日常生活中的树木”，把本单元各板块的学习内容主题引出并串联起来，引起学生学习本单元的兴趣。本单元教学紧密地跟语篇教学和文化意识教学结合在一起。在“听、说、读、写”的活动中，教师能引导学生逐步从导读、分析到理解文本的内容，并且根据文本内容进行深度思考，思考树木对人类的影响，实现学生本人与文本的对话。在输出任务中，让学生综合单元所学的语篇知识和人文知识，以小组为单位，分别以说和写的形式，谈论树木对人类的重要性，并能分享人们在植树节会做的事情。在文化意识教学方面，通过阅读更多关于“在我们日常生活中的树木”的拓展阅读，引导学生思考世界和自己国家的树木现状，树立保护雨林和其他树木的意识，同时，进一步激发学生对中国茶文化的历史和现状的兴趣，使得整个单元教学内容和情感目标得以升华。
