Unit 5 Nelson Mandela—a modern hero
教 案
安吉高级中学 执笔人 李铁红
一、单元重点内容
本单元以Nelson Mandela—a modern hero为话题,目的在于使学生了解一个伟人应具备怎样的品质,学会根据材料表达自己的观点,并用所学的句型来描写一个伟人。本单元所有语言知识和语言技能主要围绕“Nelson Mandela”这一中心话题进行设计,听、说、读、写的练习也始终围绕这一主题展开。课文讲述了南非黑人争取自由的历史,从而说明自由、平等的重要性,同时也表达了对那些为自由和平等权利而献身的勇士的敬仰。
Warming up利用图表的形式让学生判断一下自己是哪种类型的人,由此得出一个伟人应具备怎样的品质。
Pre-reading设计了一道题(How can we tell if an important person is a great person?),同时给学生提供了六个名人的图片,要求利用图片下面提供的人物事迹以及学生对他们的了解,来判断这六个人谁是伟人,谁是重要的人物。(可以以四人小组的活动形式,组织学生谈论William Tyndale,Norman Bethune,Sun Yat-sen,Gandhi,Nelson Mandela和Neil Armstrong的主要事迹,引起学生对文章内容的思考,使学生能用英语阐述自己的意见,培养学生的观察能力和语言表达能力,为进入正文学习作好充分的准备。从学生的生活经验和兴趣出发,在课堂教学中应设计任务型教学活动,以学生为主体开展教学活动,让学生在完成各项任务的过程中自主学习语言,这充分体现了新课程标准的教学理念,同时也提高了学生学习的自主性。)
Reading部分以Elias的口吻,讲述了南非黑人所受到的不公正待遇以及他们争取种族平等的斗争历史。同时还提到了他与Nelson Mandela的一段交往,从侧面向学生展示Nelson Mandela的高贵品质。教材设计的目的是在训练学生阅读技能的基础上,让他们认识到南非黑人争取自由和平等权利而付出的艰辛努力。文章的主题有利于培养学生坚强的意志,树立正确的人生观与世界观。此外,这是一篇记叙文,应让学生学会利用时间顺序描述一个人一生的主要活动。
Comprehending是在阅读的基础上,要求学生完成两道大题来整体理解课文。第一道辨别是非题的设计由表及里、层层深入,帮助学生逐步加深对课文的理解。第二道信息采集题则考查了学生阅读理解能力中的细节理解能力。
Learning about Language分词汇和语法两部分,词汇部分第一题要求学生用课文中的词填空。第二题要求学生正确理解不同单词的具体用法。语法部分是对定语从句中关系副词的用法进行了概括与复习。设计的练习紧密联系课文,能加深学生对教材的理解。
Using Language分为“听力”(Listening)、“阅读”(Reading)、“写作”(Writing)三个部分。听力部分是在Learning about language活动的基础上,以听力训练形式进一步帮助学生了解Elias加入the ANC Youth League的原因。材料内容可以说是课文的延续。同时,这个听力可以和72页的Listening task进行整合。阅读部分谈论到了Elias的狱中生活和狱后不同的遭遇,进一步说明自由、平等的重要性。写作部分在听力和阅读的基础上,要求学生给南非总统写一封信,要求释放Nelson Mandela。这是一个任务型的学习活动,指导学生就自己感兴趣的话题开展写作活动,以及学生写作时应注意的有关事项,要求学生写出自己的看法。教师要指导学生注意信的格式。
Summing Up为单元学习的调查和反馈,让学生自我归纳本单元所学的语言知识以及从Nelson Mandela身上所体现的高贵品质。Learning tip主要是来指导学生开展同类文章的课外阅读,进一步提升这一类文章的阅读技能。
