【文本分析】
外研版高中英语必修一Unit 4的主题语境是“友谊”,本节课为本单元的 Developing Ideas 部分。Developing Ideas阅读部分主要引导学生关注和辨析友谊和法律之间的关系,写作部分为读后写、给故事加结尾,旨在引发学生对友谊的价值、友谊与法律的关系等方面的思考,从而使学生掌握正确的交友原则、珍惜朋友间的友谊,最终形成正确的价值观,培养其自尊、自信、自强的良好品格,同时激发学生对名著的阅读兴趣。
【What】Developing ideas部分节选自美国著名短篇小说家欧·亨利的短篇小说“ After Twenty Years”,主题为友谊与法律,文章讲述了两兄弟阔别二十年后重逢的场景,结尾出人意料,引人深思。
【Why】通过这一板块的学习,学生能够深入理解友谊的内涵与意义,辩证地思考情与法之间的关系,形成正确的人生观、价值观。
【How】所节选的内容呈现了主人公Bob在约定的时间和地点等待重逢的场景,之后通过主人公和警察的对话,讲述了主人公和朋友20年前和20年间发生的故事。通过环境,人物以及情节的学习和分析初步掌握小说的文体特点和小说结尾的写法。在深入理解语篇内容的同时联系自身实际,实现知识与思维能力的迁移。
【学情分析】
本课的教学对象是高中一年级的学生,他们的认知能力有了一定的发展,初步具备了用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。高一学生们的表现欲很强,有一定的想象力和创造力、但在丰富的词汇积累和语言表达方面还很匮乏。本课学习中学生能够读懂小说中具体的事实性信息,但是对于语篇的隐性逻辑关系,以及如何表达自己观点方面仍有待提高,需要教师循序渐进由浅入深的问题引导。所以我在设计这节课的时候,除了考虑对学生基本阅读能力的培养、注重突出了对学生想象力和创造力的激发,降低语言表达方面的要求,在词汇和表达方面给予一定的提示。
