Understanding ideas(1)
学习目标：
通过本课时学习，学生能够：
1. 激活对自然的已有认知，激发对自然的热爱和向往之情。
2. 通过听和读，了解、欣赏和描述多彩的青藏高原美景，进而学会发现家乡之美；
3. 运用本版块的核心词汇，句型和篇章结构分享自然之美；
1.在语言知识方面，学生已经掌握了一些与自然主题相关的词汇，如"beautiful"、"colour"、"animal"、"lake"、"river"、"plant"等，这些词汇储备为学生学习和理解本单元语篇奠定了良好基础，有助于他们更好地欣赏自然之美，探索自然的奥秘。
2.在语篇类型方面，学生在七年级上学期已经接触过人与自然主题的说明文，这种先前的学习经验将帮助学生更好地理解自然奇观的基本信息和特征。
3.在背景知识方面，虽然学生已经学习过地形、气候等基础地理知识，但对青藏高原这一特定区域的地理特征还缺乏系统了解。因此，深入认识青藏高原独特的地理风貌和生态环境，将有助于学生更深刻地理解文本中"高原上的家乡"所蕴含的情感内涵。从而培养对自然和家乡的热爱之情。
