课后反思
本课时的教学对象来自温州外国语学校。学生有较好的英语基础，与老师的配合也很默契。
本课时的思路和框架比较清晰。教学目标也很清晰：引导学生较好地使用阅读策略。本课时采取了prediction, skimming, reading for information, reading for generalizing 等阅读策略，能帮助学生理解文章，并能借助课堂上所学的语言知识来阐述文章大意和自己的观点。
本课时在复述这一块做的还是很不够。由于关键词的给出滞后，学生没能完全明白老师的指令和意图，所以没有很好应用本课的语言点来概述这个故事。在学生给出的精彩回答后，教师未及时给予充分的鼓励和评价，这点也是以后的课堂中需要注意和改进的。
