文档简介
Unit 5 Canada—“The True North”
教案一
【单元重点内容与教学目标】
本单元是围绕两位女孩李黛予和刘倩的加拿大之旅展开的, 通过他们的途中见闻向我们展示了加拿大的一些基本概况, 包括它的地理位置、面积、地貌、主要城市、生态环境、风土人情以及该国的多元文化。通过学习本单元，使学生对加拿大有更多的了解；此外，还要学会使用地图，学会方向与位置的表达法以及学习名词性从句中同位语从句的用法。
Warming Up部分提供了一个关于加拿大概况的小测试，目的是激活学生已有的知识，为进入本单元的学习作好准备。
Pre-reading部分通过四个问题进一步激活学生有关旅行的经历和有关加拿大的知识，使学生产生了解加拿大的兴趣,为阅读做好准备。
Reading部分以游记的形式,记述了李黛予和刘倩去加拿大看她们的表兄妹的途中见闻, 沿着从西向东的旅游路线向我们介绍了加拿大的面积、地貌、城市、人口、生态环境等。两位女孩在旅途中看到了自然美景及野生动物，文章还提到了加拿大的自然资源，介绍虽然不是详述，但涉及面较宽，使学生对加拿大的美丽、富饶、幅员辽阔、地广人稀等特征有了更深的了解。学生可以通过学习课文，掌握新的词汇句型和游记的写法，提高学生的阅读能力。
Comprehending部分由三部分组成：回答问题、写出正确信息和画出旅游路线图。此部分不仅检查学生对细节的把握，而且检测学生根据课文内容进行推理和判断的能力以及读图能力；要求学生在地图上画出文中人物横穿加拿大的路线图，使零散的信息有机地串联起来，同时更有助于抓住行文的线索。
Learning about Language部分首先通过构词法的学习扩大学生的词汇量并培养学生的词汇生成能力。使用课文中的词汇和信息编对话和填空，旨在提高学生活用词汇的能力。语法部分是通过从阅读课文中找例句然后采用造句的练习形式教同位语从句。
Using Language部分综合训练听说读写的能力。听与写，听与说的有机结合在一起，使学生进一步了解有关加拿大的知识---居民和语言。阅读部分继续加拿大之旅：从多伦多到蒙特利尔，充分展示了异域文化风情。写作部分要求以报告的形式写旅游见闻，要求学生掌握旅游报告的写作手法。
Summing Up部分要求学生就内容、词汇和结构三个方面进行归纳，对本单元所学知识进行概括和总结。

【教学反思】
根据教材的编写特色和教师在教学过程中的具体实践对本单元教材内容进行了重组。课堂多采用任务型教学，设计了不同层面的活动，旨在激发学生积极主动地参与学习活动，在活动中学习。
1. 每节课所设定的教学目标是有所侧重的，如：在最后一节听力和写作为主的语言运用课中，听力内容的选取和题目的设计都是为写作服务的，它只是写作前的“热身”活动，所以不应花太多时间，以免喧宾夺主。
2. 鉴于每单元都有大量的新单词，单靠堂上是无法消化的，因此对单词的学习可以采取分期分批分重点学习和反复再现的方式以达到记忆和巩固的目的。为了顺利完成阅读与语言点的学习，把单词分2-3次，并分为重点、次重点和非重点三批要求学生分步自学完成。
3. 为了使双人活动及小组活动更有效，任务设计要符合学生的实际水平，难易要适中。最好能提供一些必要的依据及材料，让学生有的放矢。而且要给与足够的时间以保证活动的质量。
4. 每节课的设计都应包含语言运用的环节，即使是语言点和语法教学为主的课型。
5. 作业的布置应该是明确的和细化的，因为它直接关系到学生学习的效果以及次日的教学内容的顺利进行。
6. 充分发挥学生的主体作用，鼓励他们在网上获取所需知识。

【单元重点内容与教学目标】
本单元是围绕两位女孩李黛予和刘倩的加拿大之旅展开的, 通过他们的途中见闻向我们展示了加拿大的一些基本概况, 包括它的地理位置、面积、地貌、主要城市、生态环境、风土人情以及该国的多元文化。通过学习本单元，使学生对加拿大有更多的了解；此外，还要学会使用地图，学会方向与位置的表达法以及学习名词性从句中同位语从句的用法。
Warming Up部分提供了一个关于加拿大概况的小测试，目的是激活学生已有的知识，为进入本单元的学习作好准备。
Pre-reading部分通过四个问题进一步激活学生有关旅行的经历和有关加拿大的知识，使学生产生了解加拿大的兴趣,为阅读做好准备。
Reading部分以游记的形式,记述了李黛予和刘倩去加拿大看她们的表兄妹的途中见闻, 沿着从西向东的旅游路线向我们介绍了加拿大的面积、地貌、城市、人口、生态环境等。两位女孩在旅途中看到了自然美景及野生动物，文章还提到了加拿大的自然资源，介绍虽然不是详述，但涉及面较宽，使学生对加拿大的美丽、富饶、幅员辽阔、地广人稀等特征有了更深的了解。学生可以通过学习课文，掌握新的词汇句型和游记的写法，提高学生的阅读能力。
Comprehending部分由三部分组成：回答问题、写出正确信息和画出旅游路线图。此部分不仅检查学生对细节的把握，而且检测学生根据课文内容进行推理和判断的能力以及读图能力；要求学生在地图上画出文中人物横穿加拿大的路线图，使零散的信息有机地串联起来，同时更有助于抓住行文的线索。
Learning about Language部分首先通过构词法的学习扩大学生的词汇量并培养学生的词汇生成能力。使用课文中的词汇和信息编对话和填空，旨在提高学生活用词汇的能力。语法部分是通过从阅读课文中找例句然后采用造句的练习形式教同位语从句。
Using Language部分综合训练听说读写的能力。听与写，听与说的有机结合在一起，使学生进一步了解有关加拿大的知识---居民和语言。阅读部分继续加拿大之旅：从多伦多到蒙特利尔，充分展示了异域文化风情。写作部分要求以报告的形式写旅游见闻，要求学生掌握旅游报告的写作手法。
Summing Up部分要求学生就内容、词汇和结构三个方面进行归纳，对本单元所学知识进行概括和总结。

【教学反思】
根据教材的编写特色和教师在教学过程中的具体实践对本单元教材内容进行了重组。课堂多采用任务型教学，设计了不同层面的活动，旨在激发学生积极主动地参与学习活动，在活动中学习。
1. 每节课所设定的教学目标是有所侧重的，如：在最后一节听力和写作为主的语言运用课中，听力内容的选取和题目的设计都是为写作服务的，它只是写作前的“热身”活动，所以不应花太多时间，以免喧宾夺主。
2. 鉴于每单元都有大量的新单词，单靠堂上是无法消化的，因此对单词的学习可以采取分期分批分重点学习和反复再现的方式以达到记忆和巩固的目的。为了顺利完成阅读与语言点的学习，把单词分2-3次，并分为重点、次重点和非重点三批要求学生分步自学完成。
3. 为了使双人活动及小组活动更有效，任务设计要符合学生的实际水平，难易要适中。最好能提供一些必要的依据及材料，让学生有的放矢。而且要给与足够的时间以保证活动的质量。
