语篇研读
本课主题属于“人与社会”范畴,涉及“对世界、国家、人民和社会进步有突出贡献的人物”。 What:本课语篇介绍了著名的作家和教育家海伦·凯勒的生平和主要事迹。主要描述了她的成功之路以及她对世界人民的突出贡献。她永不放弃的精神、惊人的毅力、坚定的信念以及对待生活的态度赢得了大家的尊重和爱戴,为人类谱写了不屈不挠、努力抗争的伟大精神力量,成为众多残疾人甚至普通人的励志典范,她是世界人民的楷模。 Why:作者通过描述海伦·凯勒由于幼时发高烧导致失明和失聪,进而遇到的各种困难及解决办法,让学生认识到,要想克服困难取得成功,必须具备优秀的个人品质(永不放弃的精神、惊人的毅力、坚定的信念等),引发学生对人生意义的思考。 How:语篇体现了人物传记类文章的主要特征。明线讲述了海伦·凯勒的一生;暗线则揭示了海伦·凯勒成功的根本原因。文章分为三部分:第一部分(第1段)介绍了海伦·凯勒的背景知识;第二部分(第2~5段)介绍了海伦·凯勒的成功之路,这是该语篇的主体部分;第三部分(最后一段)主要表达了人们对海伦·凯勒深深地怀念和尊敬。 本语篇按照时间顺序展开: in 1880, when she was nineteen months old, in 1887, as she grew older, after she finished university, in 1968, 通过时间线索实现了语篇衔接。语篇逻辑脉络清晰,便于学生推断、总结和概括信息,即克服困难、取得成功的主、客观因素。 另外,文中合理利用时态。语篇先用一般过去时描述海伦·凯勒的生平事迹,然后用一般将来时表达了人们将永远怀念海伦·凯勒。
