教学反思： 本节课是一节阅读课，阅读能力对于初中生的英语学习是一个很重要的方面，培养学生的阅读能力首先要让其学会怎样去阅读，教给学生怎么样去阅读，让学生学会快速阅读和精读，学会找关键句。
本节课自己的体会 1）知识点落实 课堂最重要的是讲究有效性，上学期一直在学生的兴趣上挖掘，学生的成绩也不理想，该掌握的学生掌握得并不好，这学期下决心在实效上下工夫。本节课除了让学生多说之外，也让学生尽可能做到当堂背诵，把主要的短语句型背会，把知识点记住，通过任务型的教学方式，让学生在小组合作中完成任务。从回答问题的情况来说，学生对文章的大概意思有了初步的了解，对文段中的短语和知识点有初步的认知。 2）不足：课堂只顾着重实效，而忽视了课堂时间的把控，导致有部分教学任务没有完成。而且每次我教单词的方式太单调，换一种方式，也会让学生感觉新鲜。总之，对学生进行英语教学任重道远。自己要在实践中不断探索，以丰富多彩的形式来点缀、深化英语知识的“神”采，把学生们带到一个原汁原味的英语境界中，不断激发其学习兴趣，让课堂充满活力，让学生们学起来有滋有味，同时强化对当堂课的知识的落实。
