The story of Atalanta----教学设计
1.课程标准分析：
2018年1月份，国家教育部发布了《普通高中课程方案和英语等学科课程标准（2017年版）》。其基本理念是发展英语学科核心素养，落实立德树人根本任务；构建高中英语共同基础，满足学生个性发展需求；有效设计英语学习活动，着力提高学生学用能力；完善英语课程评价体系，促进核心素养有效形成；注重现代信息技术应用，丰富英语课程资源。高中英语课程的具体目标是培养和发展学生的语言能力、文化品格、思维品质、学习能力等学科素养。本课教材包含阅读听说多方面内容，通过学习，可以使学生具有一定的英语语感和语言意识；获得英语语言知识和在具体语境中综合运用已有语言知识的能力。同时，教材中涉及到的宗教信仰部分可以使学生获得文化知识，理解文化内涵，比较文化异同，吸收文化精华，形成正确的价值观和良好的品格；能辨析语言和文化中的各种现象。本课教材可以让学生梳理概括信息，构建新概念；分析推断信息的逻辑关系；正确评判各种思想观点，创造性表达自己的观点，培养创新思维能力。
2.教材分析
文章取自高中英语人教版第二册第二单元语言运用部分。该文章是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位古希腊公主----亚特兰大的故事。本课教材内容是第二单元奥运会主题的延伸，以古代奥运会不允许女子参加为背景，以古希腊男子Hippomenes与Atalanta赛跑为主线，深层理解涉及宗教信仰，比赛精神，男女平等、真爱、善良等多方话题。该文章共三自然段，正好可以对应分为三部分。第一段简要介绍亚特兰大，第二段是古希腊王子们对亚特兰大的规则的反应。第三段是Hippomenes求助女神。这个故事分为了两部分，第一部分为阅读理解，第二部分为听力训练。阅读部分的末尾留下了一个悬念，故事的结局需要在听力部分结束后得到答案，这样可以充分调动学生的兴趣和好奇心。文章脉络清晰，语言简练。可从阅读、听力、讨论、写作（故事续写）多角度设计训练，来实现本单元的主题升华和语言知识的巩固运用。同时也为本单元的话题写作打好基础。
3.学生分析
本课授课群体为高一上学期的学生。这一年龄段的学生对探索未知世界有着极高的兴趣。好奇心一旦被调动，学习动力就会极大地增强。而且作为青春期的孩子对爱情故事充满期待，容易调动学习积极性。从知识层面看，学生已经学习了本单元warming up，reading以及learning about language 三个部分，了解了奥运会的古今对比和奥运精神，掌握了部分关于奥运会的基本语言知识，因而在学习该部分内容时，比较了解背景知识，在阅读上障碍较小，语言表达也有一定的储备。因此在学习中比较自信。但文中仍有几处短语和长句对于学生的理解上有难度，需要利用上下文语境推断来解决。在思维品质方面，学生对于深层理解文本内容以及推断信息逻辑关系，正确评判思想观点的能力还需要进一步提高。
4.教学目标
学习完本课内容后学生能够做到：
获取文章大意，分析推断信息逻辑关系；
利用所学语言知识概述亚特兰大的故事，并续写故事的结局。
通过听音频文件理解故事内容并获取有效信息完成短文填空。
了解西方的宗教文化，并能评判思想观点，创造性表达自己的看法。
5. 教学重难点
教学重点
概括文章大意，获取文章主要信息；
分析推断信息逻辑关系；
运用所学语言知识续写故事。(be allowed to, win glory, make a bargain, hopeless, run the race, promise to do, ask sb. for help, run past sb. ect. )
教学难点
如何分析推断信息逻辑关系；
如何合理评判思想观点，创造性表达自己的看法。
6. 教学策略与学习策略
为了帮助学生树立良好的英语语言意识，本课采用TBL任务教学法，情景教学法以及听说读写整体教学法。当然整堂课以学生为中心，老师为主导，充分发挥学生的主体性和能动性。根据学习任务难易程度分别采用独立学习，结对学习，小组互助学习方式。
7.教学步骤
Step 1 Leading-in
Ask the Ss to recall what they have learned in the last class about the ancient Olympic Games.
Q: What have you known about the ancient Olympic Games?
1. _____ set(s) of Games
2. the main event is ____________
3. Only Greek ______ could take part. No ______ nor slaves were admitted.
Purpose（设计意图）: This question is designed to review basic knowledge of the ancient Olympic Games and input background knowledge for the new lesson.
Teacher: Thanks to Pausanias who has come on a magical journey from ancient Greece. We have learned about the ancient Olympics basically. Today, we are going on a magical journey to the ancient Greece and find out a story at that time. That is The story of Atalanta.
Step 2 Reading
Task 1. Ask the Ss to read the first paragraph to find out as much information about Atalanta as possible. A mind map is given to help Ss.
Questions:
Who was Atlanta?
What was she good at?
What made her very angry?
(Further thinking: Why was she not allowed to run and win glory in the Olympics? Will she be prevented in our modern times?)
What is her decision?
How did she make her father agree with her finally?
What was her rules?
(Further thinking: What do you think of her rules?)
Purpose（设计意图）: These questions are related to the basic information of the story, including who, when, where and why. By answering these questions the Ss are able to learn about the background of the story. At the same time some language points can be explained clearly, such as be allowed to do, make a bargain with sb, marry sb, be pardoned. Through this task the Ss will develop their reading ability of skimming, scanning and word guessing. The further thinking question will help students have a better understanding of the equal rights.
Task 2. Ask the Ss to read the second part and figure out the princes’ reaction to her rules according to the mind map.
Questions:
What did Hippomenes think of those who stayed to run the race?
When did he change his mind? Why?
Task 3. Ask the Ss to read the third part and answer the questions.
Who did Hippomenes turn to for help?
(further thinking: why did he turned to the Goddess of Love for help?)
How did she help him?
Purpose（设计意图）: These questions will instruct Ss to seek for more information about the story by reading skills. The further thinking question will introduce western religious culture to the Ss. Also, the language difficulties will be dealt with in this task, such as promise to do, run past sb., pick up sth..
Teacher: Now do you know about the story? Let’s recall what happened just now.
Task 4 Retell the story
Ask the Ss to complete the passage together by reading aloud.
Atlanta, a very beautiful Greek _________, ran the fastest in Greece, but she was not _______ to take part in the Olympic Games. She was angry and decided not to ________ anyone who could not run faster than her. She made a __________with her father and made her _______that if a man wanted to _______ her, she would run against him. If he could not run as _______ as her, he would be _______.
Hippomenes decided to marry Atlanta after he saw her. And he went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for ________. She promised to help him and _______ him three golden apples. She told him to ________ an apple in front of Atlanta when she was ________ fast. When she stopped to ________ it up, he would be able to run ________ her and win. Hippomenes took the apples, went to the King and told him that he wanted to marry Atlanta.
Purpose（设计意图）: This task is designed to help Ss review key points by making a summary of the text.
Teacher: Will Atlanta run against Hippomenes? Let’s listen to the tape.
Step 3 Listening
Task 1. Ask the Ss to listen to the tape and fill in the blanks.
Hippomenes was waiting when Atlanta came out. She thought, “I __________ this man ______!” So she said to her father, “Tell him __________. The race _____________ today.” But Hippomenes said, “These are ________: She _________________ who _________ than her! ________-- let’s run!”
Listen again and check the answers.
Purpose（设计意图）: This short passage is given to help the Ss to catch key words in the listening practice, so that they can develop their ability to collect information by listening.
Teacher: Will Hippomenes win the race? Do you want to know the ending? Let’s listen to the last part and get the whole story.
Task 2. Ask the Ss to listen to the tape and work out the order. The first one is given
( ) One man wanted to win and marry Atlanta very much.
( ) Atlanta married him and they lived happily.
( ) When the race began Atlanta ran past him.
( ) He asked the Goddess of love for help.
( 1 ) Atlanta was a very beautiful princess.
( ) Many men tried to compete with her, but failed and so were killed.
( ) She stopped to pick them up.
( ) She gave him three golden apples.
( ) She ran too slowly and he won.
( ) He threw the golden apples one after another.
( ) She could run faster than any other man in Greece.
Purpose（设计意图）: This task is also listening practice which is designed for the Ss to develop their ability to collect and process information via listening with purpose. After this task the Ss will get the whole story.
Teacher: This is the whole story. Now think about a question.
Task 3. Ask the Ss to have a further thinking.
Voice your opinion!
Q: Do you think Hippomenes deserved to win the race? Why or why not?
Purpose（设计意图）: This is a further thinking question. Ss are encouraged to have a critical thinking. Any opinion is acceptable. This question has no specific answer. It is set to drive Ss to think critically.
Teacher: You see different people have different ideas. Whatever the reason is, it is your thinking that is the most important.
Class, we have known the ending of the story. Are you satisfied with this result? If not, here is your chance.
Step4 Writing
Ask the Ss to continue the story in their own way! From “So the race began…….”
Group work:
1. Have a discussion and make out an ending.
2. The group leader writes down the ending.

8教学反思
本堂课以新课标要求和学科核心素养理念为依据设计教学活动，包含阅读、听力、口语、写作。因而在教学过程中以整体教学法为主。同时在每一阶段设置不同层次的任务，通过完成任务，学生由浅到深，能够做到利用阅读和听力策略获取信息，并能够分析信息推理逻辑关系，在教师的引导下学生能够利用批判性思维评价思想观点，创造性表达自己的想法。
众所周知，学科核心素养主要包括语言能力、学习能力、文化意识与思维品质。阅读部分注重了学生语言知识的学习，听力部分侧重了语言能力的提高。阅读与听力的大量输入，为学生的思辨式表达提供了知识储备。此外，本课中的思维导图的使用有效的帮助学生理清思路，获取有效信息，并且能够引导学生深层理解，开拓思维。小小故事引申出了宗教信仰，自信自助，公平竞争等多角度思考。如果能在课文回顾部分，让学生利用思维导图复述课文，对语言知识的掌握和运用会更有效果。
在输出环节设计的开放式思考题调动学生的积极性，让学生充分表达自己的观点。故事续写环节将课堂推向高潮，情境式写作提高了学生的写作兴趣，有效调动学生的写作动机。学生们的创意层出不穷，遍地开花。写作评价标准有效的引导学生有意义的进行创作，兼顾创造性与规范性，大大提高了学生们的写作水平。学生们创作的故事有趣、新颖、构思大胆，表达条理。如果时间再充分些，可以将写作上传至大屏幕一起评析就好了。
