Student Analysis
What I Know 本单元围绕“语言发展和语言学习”展开,在 Listening and Speaking,学生们交流谈论 languages around the world,通过演讲,了解联合国的工作语言,讨论学习外语及学习的动机和理由,并且积累部分语言表达。本课时则关注于“汉字”,将目光聚焦于“汉字发展”。基于听力与口语板块,阅读与思考板块继续对单元主题意义的探究,渗透文化内涵,培养学生的文化意识。 What I Want to Know 语言技能:大部分学生具有快速阅读,查找文本信息的能力,但在细节理解和推理判断方面仍存在不足。 语言知识:学生能够获取信息,口头表达观点,且在书面表达方面,基本覆盖要点。但在语法知识方面,尤其是具体语境当中的关系副词(when、where、why)和“介词 + which”引导的限制性定语从句存在认知上的不足。 学习策略:训练扫读等阅读技巧来获取篇章具体信息;突出学生的主体地位,设计学习活动,促进学生从知识到能力再到素养的进阶转化;重视结构化知识的学习和训练,培养学生深度学习的能力。 What I Learned 作为信息型文本,短文包含诸多内容和信息,学生通过“scan”,定位细节信息,并建构结构化知识。此外,在语篇阅读上,学生基于理解文体类型、语篇结构等,做到深层理解,实现深度阅读。

Teaching Procedures
Step Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity Intention Assessment
Step 1 Before reading Lead-in: Predicting T: Guess the meaning of the character. T: Predict what the text will be about. New words: character, symbol, carve, ancient, etc. Ss: Think and speak. Ss: Brainstorm and share ideas. 学习理解:图片导入,激活学生已有图式,引入话题学习。 学习理解:讨论预测文本内容,培养语篇意识。 提问,听取学生发言。 参与学生的讨论、分享,即时反馈。
Step 2 While reading Fast Reading Activity One: Read for Structure T: Summarize the main idea of each paragraph. Note: Pay attention to topic sentence and keywords. Introduction - Para.1 Development - Para.2-4 Importance - Para.5-6 Activity Two: Read for Details T: Scan the text and draw a mind map of the development of the Chinese writing system. Tip: Scan the text for specific information, such as dates or numbers. Organize the information in time order Careful Reading Activity Three: Read for Critical Thinking T: What else does the Chinese writing system connect A: People vs. Culture Chinese characters vs. Art China vs. World Ss: Read the text quickly and find out the main idea of each paragraph. Ss: Read Part 2 while designing the mind map. Ss: Skim the text and underline possible sentences. 应用实践:梳理文本内容,厘清文本的主旨大意和篇章结构。获取细节信息,梳理、概括、整合本文脉络,促进建构结构化知识,做到表层理解。 学习理解&应用实践:运用信息检索(scanning)策略,获取表示时间的具体词语,掌握汉字发展的关键历史时期,以思维导图的形式呈现,使阅读理解活动可视化,从而建构知识,形成新的知识结构。 迁移创新:整理细节信息,分析归纳,从汉字与中国文化关系的句子中明白“连接”的内涵意义,完成深度阅读。 监控课堂进度,观察学生组内活动,提供指导。 提问、检查小组完成情况,引导学生分析文本结构。 随机抽取小组成员回答,评价判断学生能否基于事实信息进行思维导图的创作。 当堂提问,引导学生主动探索,鼓励学生回答。
Step 3 After reading Language Activity T: Use one sentence to conclude the importance of the Chinese writing system. Note: Use relative clause (where, when, why, prep + which). E.g. The Chinese writing system is a cultural bridge across which the wisdom of ancient sages dialogues with modern minds. Written Chinese is a story-teller, through which Chinese culture is told. Group Discussion T: The Chinese writing system is one factor that has helped the Chinese language and culture survive. What do you think are some of the other factors Ss: Discuss with group members and work out their own solution. Ss: Share his/her ideas and support their statement through reasoning. 应用实践:基于新的语法项目和认知判断,让学生用语言做事情,培养语言运用能力,有机渗透文化内涵,形成文化意识,坚定文化自信。 迁移创新:开展批判性思考,理性表达观点,深化的主题意义的探究,达成评价性理解。 评估学生的语言实践结果,提出针对性改进方案。 观察和监控学生小组讨论,根据学生所表达信息,评估学生学习深度。
Step 3 Summary T: Let’s conclude what we have learned today: Three things I learned in this lesson:… Two interesting facts:… One question I still have:…
