本节课教学设计说明：
整个教学设计以journey为线索，以module3 Journey to space, 分享一部关于太空探测的最新电影，但是这部电影是一部关于 a dangerous journey to Mars 的故事。尽管电影听起来很危险，但却非常精彩。同学们是否也想拥有一个这样的旅行，那一定要学习一些关于太空探测的知识，并且经过测试才能进行。由此，进入课文的学习，逐步处理泛读，精读，并完成相对应的任务。最后所有的学生完美的经过了测试，来设想自己的已经应有的一个火星之旅。并小组讨论自己在这次旅行中遇到的奇特经历，分享给大家。
一 感情调节
新课导入
1. 利用最新流行的电影《火星救援》导入本课，，以module3 Journey to space, 分享一部关于太空探测的最新电影，但是这部电影是一部关于 a dangerous journey to Mars 的故事。尽管电影听起来很危险，但却非常精彩。同学们是否也想拥有一个这样的旅行，那一定要学习一些关于太空探测的知识，并且经过测试才能进行。
Work in pairs. Test 1: Put the words and phrases in the order (small---big)
小组合作，完成第一个关于太空知识的测试，
提示：让学生借助图片进行小组合作解决在后面阅读中可能遇到的词汇，并增强学生的话题意识，积极引导孩子回答，反馈时由学生的回答过渡到课文阅读，从而为提出课文阅读任务做准备。
二、自主学习（仅此知识不够用的，大家需要学习更多的知识才能开始自己的太空之旅，由此过度到了文章的学习）
1. 速读1，把握每个段落的大意，理解文章的框架结构。并由此，学会和应用寻找关键词的学习策略。
2. 速读2，把握文章大意。
阅读文章的段首和段尾，寻找文章的最佳标题。这是一种在阅读理解中，给文章找题目的最实用的阅读方法。
2. 精读，分段阅读把握文章细节信息。
（1）精读第一段，完成问题，并且注重文章的翻译方法，更好的理解文章。同时注意段落之前的逻辑关系。在第二个问题中，充分利用追问的技巧，让学生理解和体会文章之间的逻辑关系。
（2）再次精读第二段，利用填空练习，让学生明白天体之间的包涵关系。同时教师利用自己的思维导图，进行第二段落的复述，学会叙述和讲解天体知识。此部分是一个多层次的目标任务。如果依靠教师的思维导图，将得一颗星。如果学生在小组活动中做出自己的思维导图，并完成复述，将得两颗星。以此来训练学生合作的意识和积极思维的能力。
（3）精读第三段。基于对学生前边任务完成的很精彩的鼓励，将展示一张非常美丽的图片给学生---美轮美奂的夜空。在晚上，夜空中星星如此美丽，但为什么看起来如此小呢？为什么呢？对学生进行追问，完成第三段的精读。同时，引出距离单位“光年”。以光年的概念来想象宇宙到底有多大？
（4）尽管宇宙如此之大，但是科学家从未停止对它的探索，例如，科学家已经将宇宙飞船和宇航员送入了月球。那么，科学家曾向其他地方发送过宇宙飞船吗？由此导入，第四段的精读。
在此，提升文章的情感态度价值观，科学家是如此的伟大！我们应该以他们为骄傲。
尤其是那些宇航员，在探月之旅中，有许多非常伟大的宇航员，他们非常勇敢。在此，介绍世界第一个登月之人。阿姆斯特朗和中国的第一个登上月球的玉兔月球车。以丰富学生的太空探测知识。
（5）尽管人类已经对太空的探索取得了很大进步，但是科学家和人类依然有疑问，由此进入最后一段的精读。
我们孤独吗？是否天外有人？天外来客访问归我们吗？……此处，设计为开放性问题，让学生充分发挥自己的想象，拓展思维。结合同学们在电影，电视中接触到的外星人，UFO，等等。
发表自己的看法。猜测答案。真正的答案其实是在学生的手里，因此需要学生们努力学习，找到问题的答案，在此鼓励孩子们积极，努力的学习，培养他们的探索精神。
三，学以致用
在学生们通过本节课的所有关于太空知识的测试之后，既可以开始自己到达火星的美妙之旅了。假设在2007年，大家已经有过一次去火星的旅行，在火星上有什么奇特的经历呢？依据教师给出的一系列问题，小组合作，谈论自己的经历，以思维导图的形式呈现出来，最后在课堂上进行展示。并评出最佳小组，此项目标任务的评价为四颗星。
四 作业及巩固。
最后的作业设置为分层次的任务，每个同学必须根据今天的课上的展示，成文，将自己去火星的假设经历，写成作文，并进行完善。另外，可以根据网络或书籍资源，选取自己最喜欢的天体或宇宙飞船等，制作一张海报。并在班内进行评比展示。
