人教版新教材B2U2 Reading and Thinking:A Day in the Clouds教学设计
主题语境:人与自然
授课时长:80分钟
文本分析:(文本分析中需关注其与单元其它语篇之间的关联点)
文本指向“人与自然”的主题语境,关乎野生动物保护这一话题,主要讲述了我国保护珍稀动物藏羚羊的措施和取得的成就。本文体裁为旅行日志(Travel journal),记录了作者旅行经历一天中的所见所闻及所思所感,以第一人称口吻讲述了藏羚羊保护的故事。
文本含7个段落,结构完整,文字优美。第一段是引子,交代了作者当天的活动地点和活动目的——来到空气稀薄的高原观察了解藏羚羊(To observe Tibetan antelopes)。第二段展现藏羚羊的优雅美丽,同时指出它们正遭受非法盗猎的灾难,以此表达作者对藏羚羊的怜惜和对不法分子的痛恨。第三段提到了向导扎西,即羌塘自然保护区的工作人员对野生动物保护的理念和认识。第四段介绍保护藏羚羊的缘由——种群数量和栖息地的减少。第五段讲述我国政府和民间组织为保护藏羚羊所采取的有力措施。第六段讲述保护措施的成效。最后一段是作者的感想,也是文章的中心思想所在——人类只有改变自己的生活方式,才能和自然和谐共存。
综上分析,全文可梳理为“3E”这一条主线,即开篇作者对旅行的美好期待expectation, 再到旅行中所亲历的体验experience,最后到旅行后所领悟的enlightenment。而经历(experience)部分可概括为“3R”,即围绕藏羚羊的遭遇,从面临的危机risk,到采取的拯救措施rescue,在此基础上的恢复recovery。作者通过3E和3R的叙事结构,用旅行日志的3E外围包含藏羚羊遭遇的3R内核,强调了藏羚羊的生存中依然面临很多威胁threats,需要唤醒和加强读者的环保意识,号召更多人改变原有生活方式,加入到野生物种的保护protection中来。
学情分析:
该阅读文本是必修2Unit2Reading and thinking部分,适用于高一年级学生。上课对象是重点中学学生,英语学科素养整体较好,具有良好的表达能力和对事物的分析评判能力。在话题内容上,学生虽然对藏羚羊了解不多,但已有一定的环保观念,对野生动物保护以及对人与自然和谐共处问题已有一定的认识和理解。因而,本节课设计将凸显生本课堂理念,以学生为主体,充分保证学生的阅读理解与表达的时空,加强对其自主性阅读能力的培养。
教学理念:
本课以发展学生学科核心素养为目标,践行综合视野下的自主阅读教学,在综合兼顾语言、文化、思维和策略的同时,侧重于在阅读教学中发展其思维品质,通过自主阅读、合作讨论等活动,让学生体验信息预测、自主提问、略读寻找信息、理解意图等策略运用,为内容而教,为思维而教,为语言而教。
教学目标:
在本阅读课结束后,学生应能够:
1. 理解感悟文本中出现的新词汇,如illegally, profit, attack, threat, effective, harmony等,聚焦dropped by以感知藏羚羊之前处境之危险,通过watch over day and night体会各方对保护藏羚羊所采取措施之有力,从recover, remove等词中感悟保护藏羚羊的结果之可喜。
2. 利用信息预测、自主提问、寻读获取信息等阅读策略阅读日志体叙事文本,并借助思维导图梳理文本结构expectation—experience—enlightenment外围,以及risk—rescue—recover藏羚羊保护相关的文本内核,同时体会、感悟作者对景物和心理活动等的描写及其表意效果。
3. 辨析阅读文本中the air is thin, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals等语句,精准阅读语言的字面意义,正确推断语言背后的隐含意义,准确把握文本传递的主题信息及要义。
4. 通过了解藏羚羊以及其他濒危物种所面临的现状,即threats依然存在,反思人们当前的不良生活方式。通过解读标题a day in the clouds,讨论个人如何做到日常有效的实际行动以求得人与自然的和谐相处,表达对野生物种保护的观点和看法。
教学重点:
引导学生理解阅读文本的主要信息,领会作者的观点和态度;培养学生区分字面意义和隐含意义的阅读策略;指导学生学习掌握文本中出现的新词汇,表达自己对野生物种保护的观点和看法。
