A student of African wildlife教学设计
主题语境：人与自然--- 人与动植物，人与环境
语篇类型：记叙文
授课时长：一课时（45分钟）
文本分析：
本单元的话题是“取得成就的伟大女性”，通过介绍几位生活在不同国度的杰出女性，探讨女性在社会生活中发挥的地位，价值和贡献。关注她们在实际生活中遇到的困难，歌颂她们对社会、对人类的价值和贡献，展示女性的的风采和她们在社会各个领域的成就。本文有两条行文线索，主线是student,暗线是wildlife. 描写了简与她的同事们在非洲原始森林观察非洲黑猩猩的一个片段，并阐释她从事这项工作的重要性以及她所取得的成就。尽管他们在野外的考察工作又脏有累，但他们觉得这样做是值得的。他们有一些重要的发现是在学校的实验室里不可能获得的，这正是简·古道尔要到非洲原始森林来的原因。她通过多年的研究，帮助人类了解黑猩猩的生活习性。她强烈呼吁让动物回归自然，反对用动物做实验、做广告或从事娱乐活动。她力图唤起人类理解动物，尊重动物和保护动物的意识，而她所取得的成就无疑是对广大有进取心的妇女的莫大鞭策和鼓舞。
学情分析：
授课对象为高一年级学生。本班大部分学生有一定的语言基础，部分学生有较强的英语表达能力，但整体语言能力的提高还需要一个过程。学生对伟大女性这一话题并不陌生，模块三已经学习过了曼德拉一文，曾经对伟人的品质做过总结。此外，日常生活中的伟大女性学生也都有所了解，如宋庆龄，居里夫人，武则天等，所以这个话题对学生来说并不陌生。文中涉及的简·古道尔的研究黑猩猩的方法，她的发现和成就都很容易发现，难点在于如何透过现象看本质，看到简工作的困难以及她对野生动植物保护提出的建议，由于学生缺乏生活阅历，不一定能很好地总结出来，需要老师的启发和引领。最后迁移创新活动中，运用所学来简单介绍曾经鼓励过自己，对自己有帮助的同学，从课本回归到生活，让学生有话可说。
教学目标：
在本课学习结束时，学生能够
1. 获取文章大意，梳理细节信息。了解简·古道尔 在野外研究黑猩猩的方法，理解她的发现以及其所取得的成就。
2. 描述简·古道尔的优良品质，并用来描述自己的同学，将知识内化为能力。
3. 运用所学知识，分析野生动植物保护的重要性，并能够付诸行动。
教学重点：
1.通过阅读掌握文章大意，了解简·古道尔研究黑猩猩的方式，她的发现以及取 得的成就。
2. 通过阅读文章体会到野生动植物保护的重要性。
教学难点：
如何通过文章对简的描写总结出她的良好品质。

2. Do you think it is more important to study chimps in the wild rather than in a zoo? Why?
3. Do you think you will go if you are asked to study animal is in the wild? Why or why not?
学生对文章的基本信息和意图已经有所了解，此时设计三个深层次问题，来挖掘文章背后所隐藏的主旨。为什么题目使用student, 一语双关，既是学习者，又是研究者。此外，探讨野外研究黑猩猩和实验室研究的不同，只有在自然环境中才能看到真实的动物，这是动物园或者实验室所无法做到的。

Jane Goodall was born April 3,1934 in London, England, and grew up in Bournemouth on the southern coast of England．On her second birthday, Jane Goodall's father bought her a beautiful, life-like toy chimpanzee(黑猩猩)named Jubilee, in honor of a baby chimpanzee born at the London Zoo．Jane Goodall loved the toy, and to this day, Jubilee sits on a chair in her home in England．
As a child Jane Goodall was an avid(渴望的)reader of the popular Tarzan books．By the age of ten or eleven, she dreamed of going to Africa to live with animals．She had encouragement from her mother, who told her,“Jane, if you really want something, and if you work hard, take advantage of the opportunities, and never give up, you will some-how find a way．”

Goodall married Baron Hugo van Lawick in 1964．(They broke up in 1974．)In 1965 she earned her Ph．D．in Ethology(动物行动学)from Cambridge University and returned to Tanzania for her studies．One of the many Goodall observations was that of chimpanzees making and using tools．This behavior was previously(先前)thought to separate humans from other animals．Over the years, Goodall's studies have continued to show the many striking similarities between humans and chimpanzees．
