教学设计标题: Book 2 Unit 4 Extended Reading The old man and the sea
学情分析: 本次授课对象是高一学生,学生已具备一定英语阅读基础和文学知识。学生能够通过略读获取故事基本要素,但在文学鉴赏方面,学生对海明威“冰山理论”了解较少,需借助具体实例和讨论逐步理解;此外,学生虽能理解文本主题,但将文学启示与个人经历相联系、转化为实际行动策略的能力尚待加强。因此,课堂通过分层任务和实践分享活动,由浅入深培养学生的文本分析、抽象思辨和实践应用能力,契合学生现有水平与发展需求。
教学目标: By the end of this section, students will be able to: 1. understand the whole excerpt by reading out emotionally; 2. describe the personality traits of the old man based on deep understanding; 3. learn the writing style of Hemingway; 4. learn from the old man’s spirits and get inspired to rise to the challenges in daily life.
教学重难点: 教学重点: Develop students’ ability to comprehend the excerpt through emotional reading and analyze the text to identify the old man’s personality traits; Guide students to recognize and understand Hemingway’s distinctive writing style. 教学难点: Help students internalize the old man’s spirits and apply this understanding to rise to the challenges in their daily life.

In groups, Ss discuss and analyse the symbolic meanings: ·The old man→people’s strong will ·The big fish→people’s goal and dream ·The sea→the harsh reality 引导学生剖析文本语言特色,以“冰山理论”为切入点讨论象征意义,培养深层文本解读与提炼概括能力。
