Unit 2 Success Lesson 3 Getting to the Top
整体设计思路、指导依据说明
《普通高中英语课程标准(2017年版2020年修订)》(以下简称《课标》)指出,英语学科核心素养主要包括语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力,指向学生学科核心素养发展的英语教学应以主题意义为引领,以语篇为依托,整合语言知识、文化知识、语言技能和学习策略等学习内容,创设具有综合性、关联性和实践性的英语学习活动,引导学生采用自主、合作的学习方式,并从中学习语言知识,发展语言技能,提高学习效率等。本课是围绕“人与自我”的主题语境,进行“达到顶峰”这篇文章的阅读理解的指导,主要锻炼学生获取个人情感抒发类文章的细节信息和整合文章大意的能力。在过程中,帮助学生处理文本,引导学生深入理解文本结构,建立语篇意识,运用适当的学习方法和策略,主动参与学习活动并在课后进行自我评价和同伴互评。
本节课为阅读课型。首先,以欣赏奥林匹克运动员相关视频和小组讨论导入话题,激活学生的背景知识;其次,题目即文眼,是文章的核心,引导学生对标题进行提问,激发阅读文章的积极性;再用问答、找关键词和思维导图等形式让学生阅读并理解文本大意,并逐段找出文本的关键词句和细节信息,对文本有深入感知;接着,通过复述文章、分析达到顶峰的秘诀,进一步加深对文章的整体感知;最后,利用角色扮演的活动,迁移创新,锻炼学生的想象能力、创造思维能力和语言表达能力。课后作业是让学生写根据对文章作者的了解写一篇报导,进一步巩固课上所学。
二、教学背景分析:
(一)教学内容分析
本节课是高中英语选择性必修一Unit 2 Success的第三课Getting to the Top,课型是阅读课。从文体角度分析,本文有别于传统的记叙文,也不是说明文或议论文,而是作者个人的情感抒发,类似于写在网络博客上的日记。文章的特点是语言文字比较感性,以作者的思想情绪表达为主,不追求实际细节,也不说明辩论,看上去会比较“神散”,因而行文线索相对不是那么清晰。文章介绍了Lesley Paterson面对到达顶峰(成为奥运会冠军)的两难抉择(dilemma)与自我反思(reflection),并最终做出选择(choice)的心路历程。全文一共分为8段,标题“Getting to the Top”。题目即文眼,是文章的核心,从标题可以看出作者想要表达的核心思想即“勇攀高峰,追求卓越”。
学生情况分析
本节课的授课对象是高二11班学生,学生基础参差不齐,总体上对英语学习较有热情。学生暑假基本上都观看了东京奥运会,对奥林匹克运动员这一话题比较熟悉。但对学生来说,这篇关于作者个人情感抒发的文章,结构不够清晰,阅读理解的任务具有较大的挑战性。同时,学生对于理解和整合语言信息的能力有待提高,这也是本课的一大挑战。
三、教学目标

(一)talk about the athletes they admire most and the reasons.
(二)read the story of a triathlete, and find out the situation she faced and the reasons why she chose to be the best and why she was able to be successful.
(三)develop their abilities of skimming and scanning.
(四)develop their abilities of studying by themselves through cooperating.
