课时：第 8 课时 教学内容：Further Exploration & Self-assessment
课型： 探究课 设计者：
一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的最后一个课时，核心目标为引导学生探究模拟贸易活动的游戏，初步 理解经济学中需求第一定律的内涵，同时在游戏活动中，充分展开围绕主题语境的交际活 动，在探究和创造中运用语言知识和技能。最后，利用课文中的自我评估问题，引导学生 监控并反思本单元学习的内容和学习过程中的策略。
2. 设计思路
本课为本单元的探究活动，需要创设尽可能真实的语境，来帮助学生体验经济学中贸 易活动背后的供需定律，从而加深多主题语境的理解。
在导入环节中，充分利苏伊士运河被油轮封堵，导致国际原油价格短期波动的真实国 际事件，让学生对探究活动的主旨产生直观体验。
在活动准备环节，通过小组分工的环节，引导学生思考真实贸易环境下经济学原理， 会计专业知识，语言沟通技能等等的综合作用，整合学科素养，完成第一轮游戏。然后， 通过抽签，随机调整游戏中的某一项物资的量与价格，开展第二轮游戏。通过两轮交易， 学生以小组为单位展开博弈，绘制“财务报表 ”和“供需曲线 ”，为之后的反思总结环节 奠定基础。两轮游戏之后，学生以小组为单位，在课文探究性问题的引导下，展开对游戏 内涵的探究，通过分析活动成果，理解供需定律。
最后，通过回答课文中的自我评价问题，并完成学案中的表格，学生完成对整个单元 的学习自评活动。
3. 重点难点
在两轮贸易模拟游戏中展开有效博弈，记录过程并绘制“供需曲线 ”。
