Analysis of Teaching Material What "The underdog" is a narrative, consisting of two parts. The article tells the story of Paul, a player who has been serving as a replacement due to his height. The first part of the article introduces the little boy Paul, who is only 1.6 meters tall, has no advantage in the basketball team at all, and the coach has never been optimistic about him. But Paul takes Tyron Bogues as his idol and keeps training. In the second part, "I" in the story was injured in a game. With the support of “I” and other team members, the couch finally agreed that Paul played for the team. All of Paul's hard work paid off.
Why By studying this course, students are guided to realize that the true sportsmanship is not being afraid of difficulties, not giving up easily, being optimistic, and working hard. At the same time, encourage students to carry forward this invaluable fighting spirit in their own lives when faced with difficulties.
How This article is narrated in the first person, so that students will feel immersive when reading, especially when describing the second part of the competition. The first part of the article cites many facts and describes how Paul actively fights under unfavorable conditions. There are two main lines in the second part: one is the development of the game on the field; the other line is the change in the coach's emotional attitude as things developed. The two lines come together beautifully to tell this story vividly and energetically.

Teaching reflection 本节课围绕主题语境，深入研读了教学内容，引导学生通过由浅入深的阅读活动，分析并挖掘出了Paul如何从一个underdog成为a big guy，帮助学生体会了Paul这样一个瘦弱的男孩儿身上所体现出的体育精神。从课堂表现来看，学生参与课堂的热情很高，课堂气氛活跃，讨论问题积极。由于学生口头表达能力方面的差异，并非所有学生敢于走上讲台说出他们的想法。但通过个人努力，可以将劣势变成优势的这种顽强拼搏的精神，已经深入学生心中。课堂上的思考活动、观看残奥会健儿勇夺金牌的视频、学唱dream it possible这首英文歌，无一不是鼓励学生们勇于克服困难，战胜劣势。教育的核心不是知识，不是技能，而是人。教育的最终目标是要培养获得圆满生活的人。希望我的学生在我的滋养下,绽放人生的精彩。
