第五课时
Cultural Corner+Workbook(Reading+Vocabulary)
【教材版本】
外研社新标准版（必修1 Module 1）
【设计理念】
学生在老师的组织引导下，通过观察、认知、自主学习、合作讨论、提高获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力。
【教材分析】
本节课的第一部分Cultural Corner是一位美国中学生所写的一封信，信中介绍了美国中学的体制和课外活动；第二部分是Workbook中的阅读部分，主要讲述了中学的一些课外活动及其重要性，通过阅读这两部分，使学生了解了美国中学的学制和中学生丰富多彩的课外活动，从而使学生更加热爱和珍惜学校的学习生活，积极参加课外活动，培养健康的情趣和爱好，陶冶自己的情操，达到身心健康，全面发展，学会各种技能和提高自身素质的目的。第三部分是Workbook中的词汇部分，主要是复习和巩固本单元所学的一些词汇，他们的动、名词形式及其应用。
【学情分析】
学生由初中刚进入高中阶段的学习，在知识方面存在着衔接性和延续性的问题。学生在初中阶段掌握了一定的基础知识和基本技能，也养成了学习英语的良好习惯，但在“读”的方面还存在着问题：一是“读”的速度慢，摄入信息量少；二是不能准确概括和理解文章段落大意；三是如何从获取的信息中筛选出“有用”的信息。因此，在教学过程中，注意初中阶段与高中阶段知识的衔接，使学生尽快适应高中的学习。同时，在教学活动中，采用相应的教学手段和方法，有意识地诱导学生“读”的兴趣，激发学生的学习热情，组织学生按教师要求和要达到的教学目的进行阅读训练，从而提高“读”的速度和能力。
【教学目标】
Ⅰ 知识与技能
通过学生自己阅读，和同学之间讨论，学会概括课文大意；归纳、提取“有用”的信息，并加以分析、整理，完成老师为进行阅读所设计的问题，达到有效阅读；学会获取信息和使用信息，逐步提高阅读的速度和分析问题、解决问题的能力。同时，在读的过程中掌握be divided into, the first of which, take part in, be free to do sth., graduate, spend…in等词和短语的意思和用法。
Ⅱ 过程与方法
首先通过幻灯向同学们展示学校场景好一些课外活动，然后提出与文章有关的问题，让学生带着问题分别进行第一部分和第二部分的阅读，并通过幻灯复习、巩固本单元的一些词汇及其动、名词形式和用法。
Ⅲ 情感、态度和价值观
通过本节课的学习，使学生了解美国中学的学制和课外活动的情况，培养学生的学习兴趣，激发学生的学习热情,使学生能积极主动地投入学习和参加课外活动。在丰富学习生活的同时，提高自身素质，全面发展, 逐步掌握各种技能。
【重点难点】
Ⅰ 教学重点
训练阅读速度并完成阅读任务。
Ⅱ 教学难点
获取“有效”的信息应加以分析使用。
【教学环境】
多媒体教室，幻灯投影。
【教学方法】
全程利用多媒体作为教学辅助，使教学内容情景化，教学活动具有生动性。用幻灯展示中学场景和课外活动，激发学生的兴趣；采用任务性教学法，合作探究法，是教学任务明确，学生在融洽和谐的气氛中学习。
【教学思路】
通过幻灯向学生展示中学的场景和一些课外活动形式，使学生想了解更多这方面的情况，这样是课堂富有情景化和生动性，增添了学生进一步学习的欲望，激发了学生学习的积极性，然后带着问题进行阅读，增加了阅读的有效性，使阅读有的放矢；通过讨论完成所设计的阅读理解题，达到了解和检测学生阅读情况的目的。
