教学反思
在各位同学的积极参与和密切配合中，我们结束了八年级英语下册Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came? Section A 3a-3c The Storm Brought People Closer Together的学习。下课后，经过老师们的评课和自我反思，总结这节课的优点和需要改进的地方如下：
优点
1、教学设计基于课程标准、教材以及学生的学情，完成了本课时的教学任务。
2、课件设计精美简洁，实用且赏心悦目。
3、在视频导入之后，使用动态图片，生动形象的讲解了一些重点单词和词组，同学们可以通过动态图像，直观的领悟到单词和词组的意思。21教育网
4、针对每一个自然段的精读都设计了一个比较详尽的框架式表格填空，更好的帮助学生掌握文章的脉络结构和主要内容。
5、学生参与度较高，课堂气氛活跃，绝大部分同学能够认真读、仔细想、张嘴说，尤其是The Storm的游戏和海报制作以及展示环节，极大地调动了学生的课堂积极性，提高了学生的课堂参与度。
6、利用小组竞赛的方式极大的调动了学生的课堂参与度和学习积极性。
7、最后制作了在困难或者危险情况下的自救和救助他人的海报，能够帮助学生树立起自救和救助他人的意识，很好的贴合了违章的题目，也进一步实现本节课的情感态度价值观目标。21cnjy.com
需改进的地方
1、由于这是一节阅读课，我觉得学生们在课堂上读的时间相对不够，阅读后的提问面不够广。
2、课堂上有几处口误，虽然及时纠正了，但是是不应该的。
3、学生进行海报设计时，一开始有点迷茫，如果给学生一个例子或者一个比较详尽的Mind-Map，或许会有更好的效果。21·cn·jy·com
4、课堂时间比正常的课要长1分钟，时间把控能力有待提高。
在同组老师的帮助和指导下，这节课成功的结束了。通过反思，我发现了自己的缺点和不足，在今后的教学中，我会努力改进，不断提高，争取以后的每节课都更加完美！21世纪教育网版权所有
