Unit 12 Life is full of the unexpected
SectionB2b
莒南县石莲子初级中学
【学情分析】
1、本单元的话题学生较为熟悉，为出乎意料的事情。但是对于本课有关西方国家愚人节的玩笑了解较少，为本课的学习增加了阅读障碍。因此，在备课时我精心在网络上搜寻了一些有关愚人节的照片，视频等资料，以帮助学生顺利理解文本所传达的信息。例如在学习文化背景时，一段视频展示给学生，帮助他们明白愚人节的历史由来及各个国家不同的风俗，另外，我还为学生在网络上搜索到了有关奥森威尔斯广播剧真相等背景知识，帮助学生真正理解文本和作者想要表达的意图。
2、学生在本单元之前，在八年级下册Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came？2a 记录了一个男孩出乎意料的经历，有助于本课阅读语篇的理解。
3、学生在本单元之前，在七年级下册Unit 10 ，Unit 11和 Unit 12，八年级上册Unit 1, 八年级下册Unit 8, Unit9和 Unit10中，学习了一般过去时，现在完成时，都有助于本课阅读语篇的理解，同时七年级下册Unit 2中，学习了日常起居的短语，这些都有助于学生顺利完成本课听说读写各项任务。

【效果分析】
一、调查基本情况
本人在课后抽取本节课上课学生进行了调查，主要采取了随机抽取学生座谈方式进行。主要从学生课堂表现、学习效果评价和教学环境、设施状况等四个方面展开调查，并就调查结果进行了分析。www.21-cn-jy.com
二、调查结果与分析
1、学生课堂表现
（1）第1、2项主要是从学生学习态度方面进行的调查，调查结果来看，绝大多数学生的学习态度端正，积极参与课堂但仍存在着兴趣不高，不敢回答问题现象。
（2）第3、4项是调查学生的课堂参与度和听课的专注程度。从调查结果来看，只有一小部分学生未能很好发挥主体能动性，课堂参与度不够。21世纪教育网版权所有
2、学习效果评价
第5项是对学生的学习效果进行的调查，通过与学生交流，85%的学生认为可以很好的接受并理解教学内容，但仍有少数学生反映录课过程中有些紧张，影响发挥。
三、启发与改进
（一）打造具有个人教学特色的教学。
认真备课，把知识输入设计的具有“启发性”，让学生在自我预习的知识基础上，主动利用已有知识构建新的知识体系。21·cn·jy·com
（二）转变教学观念，落实学生主体地位。
简单指令，让学生理解教师教学意图，充分利用肢体语言，教师做到少说精讲，学生才能多说多练，简化教学模式，打造高效课堂。21教育网
积极探索教学方法，更多的是启发学生，留给学生一些思考的空间，教给学生学习的方法，正所谓“授人以鱼，三餐之需；授人以渔，终生之用”，带着知识走向学生，只是“授人以鱼”，带着学生走向知识，才是“授人以渔”。教师应转变教学观念，充分发挥学生的主体性，在切实提高课堂教学质量的同时培养学生的终身学习能力。
（三）对待后进生，要有耐心，持之以恒
从课上回答问题可以看出，有个别学生没有掌握好课堂教学内容，这些学生英语基础薄弱，教师要做好课后辅导，促其进步。21cnjy.com

【课后反思】
本课主要采用直观教学，任务型教学和小组合作法使学生在教师的启发引导下通过小组合作完成教学任务，达到教学目标，同时培养学生的合作意识和创新精神。21世纪教育网版权所有
本课时的主要教学任务是读写，在循序渐进的任务引导下，学生们大部分都能随小组活动参与到课堂学习中，并且通过环环相扣的教学活动使学生得到了听说读写全方位的训练，本节课教师最终的教学愿景是通过本节课的学习，让学生学会“what----next----result”这种架构。
通过观察学生课后的精神面貌及学习状态发现基本达到了这一目标。整堂课也体现了学生的主体地位，发挥了学生的主体作用。21教育网
但反思本节课，有很多值得改进的地方，这也是我个人以后努力的方向。
有在本节课的课堂评价当中，教师评价学生激励性语言不够多样化，还需努力提升自己。

【教材分析】
本单元主要讨论关于“unexpected events”这一话题。Section A的中心话题是讲述过去发生过的意想不到的事情。涉及两个语言项目：了解过去完成时，运用一般过去时。Section A的教学重点是让学生能够用适当的时态叙述过去发生过的意想不到的事情。Section B依然围绕“unexpected events”这一话题展开，内容从学生的生活琐事、意外事故过渡到生活中出其不意的玩笑，特别是愚人节发生的难以预料的事情，是对Section A 所学知识的巩固、拓展与提升。Section A的教学重点依旧是掌握过去完成时和一般过去时，学习难点是能够在笔头输出中熟练用这两种时态。21教育网
本节课是阅读教学部分，是一篇叙事性文章，讲述了四个与开玩笑有关的故事，前三个均发生在愚人节，第四个与愚人节没关系，却是闻名于世的著名恶作剧之一，阅读前需要利用学生本身已有的知识来帮助他们，引导学生猜测文本主旨大意。21世纪教育网版权所有

【观评记录】
本课高老师既注重新旧知识的联系，又注重理论与实际的结合，既培养了学生听说读写的能力，也培养了学生的自主表达的能力。纵观整节课，主要有以下特色和亮点。
1. 高老师在整节课中非常投入，始终面带微笑，以饱满的热情感染每一位同学，教学基本功扎实，师生关系融洽，注重了以学生为主体。教师在教学过程中非常有耐心，做到了鼓励、引导、等待和夸赞，从而能让学生集中学生注意力，激发他们学习的浓厚兴趣。
2. 高老师在授课中做到了创设情景，进行真实的交流。通过Ellen show来导入课堂，让学生有良好的情绪准备进入新课的学习之中。通过多媒体播放愚人节知识，视频相册，让学生根据提示，快速复习课前的预习情况，对内容学生非常熟悉，非常贴近生活，学生有话可说，也乐意说。21世纪教育网版权所有
3. 高老师问题倒入，对学生进行充分的训练，引导学生进行说的训练。另外，在写作的过程中，高老师也注意与学生之间的互动交流和学生之间的合作交流，取得了很好的效果。在拓展环节中，为学生搭建了自由表达的平台，让学生用自己的语言表情达意，真正实现了语言的输出。21教育网
本课是一节成功的读写课，但是也有一些地方仍需改进。
在课堂评价当中，教师评价学生多，也应该给学生评价学生的机会。

【课标分析】
一、义务教育阶段语言技能中读的五级要求为：
1．能根据上下文和构词法推断、理解生词的含义；
2．能理解段落中各句子之间的逻辑关系；
3．能找出文章中的主题，理解故事的情节，预测故事情节的发展和可能的结局；
4．能读懂常见体裁的阅读材料；
5．能根据不同的阅读目的运用简单的阅读策略获取信息；
6．能利用字典等工具书进行学习；
7．课外阅读量应累计达到15万词以上。
根据以上相关要求，在本课中，我注意引导学生运用简单的阅读策略，如速读掌握文本大意，分段细读理解文本具体内容，通过“问题推进，图示总结”的方法弄清文章字面的意思和深层含义，透彻领悟作者通过文章想要表达的观点。在每一段中，通过连环设计问题，帮助学生理解段落中各句子之间的逻辑关系。同时注意引导学生感知文章“what----next----result”这种架构，达到“授之以渔”的目的，力争落实课标关于读的相关要求21cnjy.com
二、义务教育阶段语言技能中写的五级要求为：
1．能根据写作要求，收集、准备素材；
2．能独立起草短文、短信等，并在教师的指导下进行修改；
3．能使用常见的连接词表示顺序和逻辑关系；
4．能简单描述人物或事件；
5．能根据所给图示或表格写出简单的段落或操作说明。
根据以上相关要求，在本课中，我注意精心设计教学环节，让学生在阅读前，阅读中和阅读后的任务完成中，为写做好铺垫，例如单词，词组的学习，常见连词的使用，有关愚人节情况的了解总结，对于如何开玩笑的讨论等等。同时，在写前给出范文和词包，指导学生利用图示收集、准备、梳理素材，并结合学习的“what----next----result”文章架构，尝试写出发生的事情，另外，在学生写完后及时给予展示，批改，提高学生的写作能力，力争落实课标关于写的相关要求。
三、义务教育阶段情感态度的五级要求中提到：
1．有明确的学习目的，能认识到学习英语的目的在于交流；
2．有学习英语的愿望和兴趣，乐于参与各种英语实践活动；
3．有学好英语的信心，敢于用英语进行表达；
4．能在小组活动中积极与他人合作，相互帮助，共同完成学习任务；
5．能体会英语学习中的乐趣，乐于接触英语歌曲、读物等；
6．能在英语交流中注意并理解他人的情感；
7．遇到问题时，能主动向老师或同学请教，取得帮助；
8．在生活中接触英语时，乐于探究其含义并尝试模仿；
9．对祖国文化能有更深刻的了解；
10．乐于接触并了解异国文化。
在本课中，我注意设计师生问答，欣赏英文节目歌曲，小组讨论，观点表达，写作等活动，给学生提供用英语进行交流的机会，鼓励他们敢于用英语进行表达，鼓励他们在小组活动中积极与他人合作，相互帮助，共同完成学习任务。21世纪教育网版权所有
四、新《英语课程标准》课程性质的表述：
义务教育阶段的英语课程具有工具性和人文性双重性质。就工具性而言，英语课程承担培养学生基本英语素养的任务，即学生通过英语课程掌握基本的英语语言知识，发展基本的英语听说读写技能，形成用英语与他人交流的能力，为今后继续学习英语和用英语学习其他相关科学文化知识奠定基础。就人文性而言，英语课程承担着提高学生综合人文素养的任务，即学生通过英语课程能够开阔视野，丰富生活经历，发展跨文化意识，促进创新思维，形成良好品格和正确价值观，为终身学习奠定基础。21教育网
