设计说明
Step 1 warming up
以小组竞赛形式进行，快速带动学生进入课堂气氛。竞赛规则是让学生根据画家的自画像和画作，说出该画家的名字。选取的画家都是课文出现过或是不同时期的代表，目的是让学生活跃起来的同时也能得到相关的背景知识。
Step 2 Structure
Predicting
让学生根据课文标题，猜测文章的主要内容及结构安排，让学生体会到看标题的重要性并知道说明文的特征
Skimming
让学生找每一段的主题句，并提醒学生注意本课文的特点——小标题，引导学生思考小标题的作用
Draw out the idea map of structure
根据学生的回答画出结构图。
Step 3 Scanning
Predicting
在结构图的基础上，画出表格，让学生猜测我们能从课文中得到关于这四种不同时期风格的那些信息。老师对学生所猜测的内容进行点评，引导学生认识说明文的特征，可以从哪些方面进行说明。
Scanning
基于这是一篇说明文，段与段之间的结构类似，如果学生能在其中一段找到有用信息，则在其他段也应该能找到。所以为了充分利用时间，我让以竞赛形式进行，一个大组负责一个时期（即一段），将表格填好。时间充裕，可让小组代表上黑板来写，时间不够的话，则只让口头回答，老师在幻灯片上展示。
Step 4 Careful reading
让学生边听边读，然后讨论出以下3道选择题的答案。
1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word in the following sentence: The first person to use perspective in his paintings was Masaccio.
A. 衬托法 B. 透视法 C. 水彩 D. 晕染法
这道题目的是让学生掌握猜词的方法之一：上下文
2. It can be inferred from the passage that____.
A．Painters in the Middle Ages painted mainly religious subjects.
B．Impressionists painted their pictures mainly outdoors.
C．At first people did not like the impressionists’ paintings.
D．The longtime ruling of Confucianism(儒家思想) leads to the less changing of Chinese art.
这道题的目的是让学生明白推测题的特点：正确选项是不能从原文中找到的
3. What’s the attitude of the writer?
A．Negative B. Positive C. Subjective D. neutral
这道题的目的是让学生认识说明文的有一特征：作者持中立态度。
Step 5 Reading Tip
最后总结这节课所运用到的一些阅读技巧，加深学生印象。
Step 6 The best salesman (有时间则进行，无时间则留待下一节课)
给学生一个运用这节课所学信息的机会。
补充：
课堂全程以小组竞赛的形式进行。
板书是以结构图的形式展出，从Structure 到Scanning 一步一步通过结构图的方式最后把全文的结构与内容展示在黑板上。
