教学反思：
导入直接，简洁。
能够给予学生充分的时间获取文本信息。
作业布置能够体现一定的层次性。
对文本的挖掘不够深入，只停留在表层信息上，提问的有效性不够。
尽管在阅读过程中也在有意识地去培养学生的阅读策略，但运用不够，有些只留于形式。而且对不同阅读策略所起的作用的认识还有待进一步提高。
虽然学生对这篇文章的理解不是很难，语言障碍并不多，但对语言知识的呈现较少，对语言技能的培养不够。
在进行了一些语言上的铺垫后，教师本应设计一定的活动，就某个与文本相关的话题，让学生创造性地使用所学语言，表达自己的真情实感。但在本堂课的拓展活动中所涉及到的话题，从学生的回答中可以看出他们仅仅停留在原有的知识层面上，并没有很多地涉及文本中的语言知识或信息，更不用说是创造性地使用语言。后来我也在思考是否可以将最后的拓展改为让学生讨论：How will Dan’s life be in the future with / without friendship? What makes a good friend? Why do we need friends? 从而使学生对友谊有更进一步的认识。
