本课为本单元的第 5 课时，核心目标为引导学生理解博客文章的主要内容和观点，了 解其基本特征，能分析语篇所反映的社会文化现象，从而学会尊重不同国家文化的差异， 培养学生的跨文化意识。
2. 设计思路
本课时，学生的学习素材以博客文章为阅读主体，首先带领学生回顾第四课时试听板 块中电影片段的主要内容，借由回顾旧知识，引出新内容，使学生产生阅读兴趣。引导学 生快速阅读标题，预测文章主要内容，并通过搜索线索，让学生识别博客文章的文体风格。 带领学生通读全文，并对文章进行分段，归纳总结文章的段落大意。通过对每个部分的具 体分析，引导学生进一步理解作者从一开始对志愿者活动信心满满、到发现现实和理想的 巨大差异的转变，进而产生进一步思考的心理变化过程。
在阅读过程中，帮助学生在语境中理解生词和短语，同时完成对细节信息的搜索和填 写，形成完整的阅读思维导图。
最后，学生以 4-5 人为一组，就开展此类志愿者活动的利弊进行讨论，发表个人观点， 并形成小组汇总表格。

Viewpoints Reasons
Is this kind of volunteering trip beneficial or not Such activities have great value and are beneficial, both to the volunteers and the community. Volunteering trips promote the communication between different cultures. Volunteers also have a deep understanding of the local culture and customs.
The work benefits volunteers to some extent. However, it doesn’t have the same effect on the community there. Volunteering in an unfamiliar community may involve misunderstanding and usually cannot address the real problem.
Viewpoints
Do you think it would be better for volunteers to do volunteering work in their local community Both local and foreign volunteering are acceptable.
Local volunteering will be better.
