Unit 2 Out of this world：Welcome to the unit & Reading (I) 教学设计 -2024-2025学年高中《英语》 选择性必修 第三册（译林版）

Unit 2 Out of this world
Welcome to the unit & Reading (I)（教学设计）
I. Learning objectives
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. grasp the topic and the general idea of the lesson;
2. understand some important details;
3. form their own opinions based on the text.
II. Key competence focus
1. Apply reading strategies to reading tasks.
2. Get a deep understanding of the reading material.
III. Predicted area of difficulty
Do some inferences based on the reading materials.
IV. Teaching procedures
Step 1 Brainstorming
1. T greets the class.
T: Class begins, boys and girls! Good morning/afternoon!
T: Open your book at page 15. Below the title, there goes Liu Cixin’s saying, “The pursuit of the ultimate truth of the universe is the final objective and destination of civilization.” Below the saying there is a picture. What do you see
T: Yes, it must be our solar system. So the theme of this unit is probably about exploration of the universe.
2. T asks Ss to watch a video and finish the exercises.
T: Now watch a video carefully and fill in the blanks.
T: Let’s check your answers. They are 1961, 1969, 1971, 2000 respectively.
T: The video is about many exciting breakthroughs in the history of space exploration. Watch the video again and answer the three questions.
【设计意图：由15页上的名人名言、图片以及短视频导入本单元，帮助学生形成本单元的主题概念，在学习一些有关太空知识和表达的同时，激发学生的学习激情。】
Step 2 Warming up before reading
T asks Ss to think about the following questions before reading the lecture transcript.
What famous astronauts do you know about
What do you think astronauts on a space station do every day
【设计意图：此节为读前热身，目的是激活学生有关太空知识的储备，介绍祖国的太空英雄并增强民族自豪感，为进一步深度阅读奠定基础。】
Step 3 Fast reading for the structure of the text
1. T asks Ss to read the whole text quickly and then complete the chart in A1.
2. T asks Ss to answer another question.
T: Let me check how you grasp the main idea of the text. Look at the choices. Which is right
Another proper title of the text is “__________”.
A. Up in the sky B. Daily life in space
C. Hardship and fun D. My dream
【设计意图：通过完成练习A1帮助学生整体把握课文结构，培养学生快速阅读以获取主干信息的能力。最后是过关测试，旨在考查学生对主旨信息的把握。】
Step 4 Reading for the detailed information
1. T asks Ss to answer the questions 1, 2 , 3 & 4 in A2.
T: Let’s go through the questions 1, 2, 3 & 4 in A2. Then read the text again and find out some important detailed information.
2. T asks Ss to answer another question.
T: Let me check how quickly you can find a piece of detailed information in the text.
In the author’s opinion, which is the most dangerous in space
A. Sleeping. B. Conducting experiments.
C. Spacewalking. D. Feeding and drinking.
【设计意图：通过A2中第1、第2、第3和第4题的练习，促使学生再次深入课文，此项活动旨在帮助学生获取文章重要的细节信息，培养关注重要细节的习惯。最后是过关测试，旨在考查学生快速捕猎信息的能力。】
Step 5 Reading for inference
1. T asks Ss to answer the question 5 in A2.
T: Let’s go through the question 5 in A2. You can’t find the answer to the question directly in the text. You have to reshape the relevant information in the text and then find the answer.
2. T asks Ss to answer another question.
T: Let me check how you cope with relevant information.
In the second sentence of paragraph 4, what does the word “circumstances” refer to
A. Preparations for a spacewalk.
B. Experiments and equipment.
C. All kinds of activities in space.
D. Performing tasks outside the station.
【设计意图：通过A2中第5题的练习，促使学生第三次深入课文，并基于课文信息进行推理判断，以此培养学生重构信息和再生信息的能力。最后是过关测试，旨在考查学生加工处理信息的能力。】
Step 6 Discussing
T asks Ss to discuss the questions in A3.
T: Here are three questions in A3. Discuss them in pairs.
【设计意图：通过几个问题的讨论帮助学生走出课文，形成自己的观点和看法。此项活动也有助学生灵活运用语言来表达自己的思想。】
Step 7 Clarifying the referential relationship in the text
1. Understanding the strategies of using pronouns to improve cohesion.
T: We often use pronouns to refer to things, people or ideas that have just been mentioned. It is an effective way to improve the cohesion of our writing.
2. Application of the strategies of using pronouns to improve cohesion.
T: The lecture transcript uses pronouns like “it”, “that”, and “they” to improve cohesion. Find the sentences using these pronouns in the lecture transcript, and then understand what they refer to.
3. T asks Ss to answer another question.
T: Let me check how you master the strategy of using pronouns.
What does “it” refer to in the last sentence of the transcript
A. Fun in leisure time. B. All the hardship in space.
C. Exercising every day. D. Spacewalking.
【设计意图：本单元提供的一个重要的写作和阅读策略是：指代关系，先讲基本策略，后利用课文中的句子来运用这个策略。最后一道较难的过关检测题，测试学生对这个策略的掌握，这一步也有利于学生精准地理解课文。】
V. Homework
1. Write a summary of the text.
2. Choose the best answer.
(1) “My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added, “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”
The word “them” refers to Welty’s ________.
A. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories
(2) Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work, touring the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that.

A. Visiting Disneyland. B. Wearing attractive clothes.
C. Acting Mickey Mouse. D. Dressing up and walking around.
(3) Despite the celebrations, though, in the US the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow
older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
