课题 外研版(2024)八年级上册Unit 1 This is me Starting-out&understanding ideas 课件 课时 1
课标要求 依据《义务教育英语课程标准（2022年版）》，本单元教学需落实以下要求：语言能力：能运用英语描述个人经历、性格特征和价值观，初步使用现在完成时进行表达。文化意识：对比中西方自我介绍的文化差异，理解 “自我接纳” 的多元文化内涵，增强跨文化交际意识。思维品质：通过 “自我认知—反思 —表达”的过程，培养批判性思维和创新思维，能用象征手法（如物品隐喻性格）表达抽象概念。学习能力：通过小组合作、任务探究等方式，提升自主学习能力和合作交流能力，形成积极的学习态度。
教材分析 本单元是外研版八年级上册第一单元，以 “自我认知与自我表达” 为主题，通过主人公Sally 的成长故事，引导学生思考 “独特性”“自我接纳” 等话题。语言层面：聚焦现在完成时,同时学习描述外貌、性格、爱好的词汇（如 birthmark, bright, strawberry）。育人层面：通过跨学科主题（如美术中的 “自我画像”、德育中的 “价值观讨论”），培养学生的自信心和同理心。
学情分析 1. 认知特点八年级学生（13-14 岁）处于青春期初期，对 “自我认同”“他人评价” 敏感，渴望表达个性，但可能因外貌、能力等产生自卑心理。2. 语言基础已掌握一般现在时、过去式等时态，对现在完成时的结构（have/has + 过去分词）有初步了解，但在语境中准确运用仍有难度。熟悉基础的自我介绍句型（如 “My name is...” “I like...”），但缺乏结构化表达框架（如结合经历、爱好、价值观）。3. 学习需求渴望通过英语表达真实自我，对贴近生活的话题（如 “外貌焦虑”“兴趣爱好”）兴趣浓厚。需在教师引导下突破语法难点，同时通过合作活动提升口语交际能力。
核心素养目标 语言能力：1. 能准确运用现在完成时描述经历变化能撰写结构清晰的自我介绍短文，包含外貌、性格、成长感悟。文化意识: 认识到 “自我接纳” 是全球共通的成长主题，尊重不同文化中的表达方式。思维品质:用 “物品象征法”创造性表达个人特质，提升创新思维。学习能力:借助思维导图梳理自我介绍框架，形成自主学习策略。
教学重点 1.Use words and expressions in the unit to talk about yourself;2.Understand the meanings of “rose”；3.Learn to accept yourself
教学难点 1.Understand the meanings of “rose”2.How to accept yourself
教学方法 任务驱动法：通过不同的阅读情境问题，引导学生在实践中完成语言输入与输出。多媒体辅助法：利用短视频、思维导图、互动课件等增强学习直观性。

板书设计
教学反思 本节课基于英语课程标准教材单元主题意义的探究和学习分析后进行教学设计，围绕“自我认识” 这一话题，通过观看视频、小组讨论、略读、精读文本等一系列课堂活动，让学生了解文本内容，学会辩证地看待问题，懂得如何认识自己，培养学生“接纳自己”的品质。课堂设计中，通过视频等形式有效地让学生联系实际，通过课文中的故事，让学生扩展了对自我认识的范围，引导学生正确认识自我、接纳自我。但是整体教学设计还存在一定的不足。比如，课堂小组展示不够，没有达到一定的迁移创新。在表达对自己的认识时，缺乏对自己优点的表述。

Sometimes, I felt people secretly looking at my face. But when Iturned my head, they looked away. On crowded buses and train sit felt just like a disaster. With so many people around me, my birthmark burned red hot. Therefore, I always kept my hair longto cover it until that day.
It was a cloudy morning. A new student named Maddie arrivedin our class. She sat right beside me. Instead of looking away,Maddie studied my face. This made me so nervous. Clouds camethrough the window and filled my heart. Suddenly, she
said something I would never forget.
“Sally, right " she said.“You have a red rose on your face. How beautiful!”
I looked up and met her smiling eyes. Although I only replied“thank you", it turned sunny in my heart. When I got home, l rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. For the first time, I could look at my birthmark without quickly turning away.The shape of it was truly like a flower. The next day, to my surprise, Maddie painted a red rose on her own face!
