High School Life
高一英语话题教学设计思路
选题立意：
《School Life》这一话题是高中生平时做听力、阅读及写作题最常见的话题之一，在高考及各类模拟题的写作题目中出现的频率很高。我校学生因英语基础较弱，对这一话题周边的词汇及表达比较生疏，出错率高，写作时往往不知从何入手，写出来的句子支离破碎，毫无章法。为帮助学生整理写作思路，落实基础词汇及表达，现自主设计本堂课内容。
课标要求：
英语新课程标准要求学生在有一定语言信息输入的基础上，进行理解与记忆，从而达到创新应用。在授课过程中，教师应关注培养学生的语言能力、学习能力、思维品质及文化意识方面的核心素养。
教学目标：
1. 学生复习/学习话题周边词汇。
2. 学生学习如何用英语口头描述学校学习及校园活动。
3. 学生通过阅读文章了解英国学生校园生活，练习写作My High School Life.
教学过程
Part 1 热身
引入话题。学生小组合作，单词接龙游戏。学生通过游戏展开头脑风暴，复习词汇。师生、生生互动，学生进入学习状态。
Part 2 话题词汇
教师为学生呈现话题相关重点词汇，利用原创小短文培养学生通过上下文语境猜测生词的能力，同时进行英语课堂的德育渗透，鼓励学生努力学习，让自己的高中生活成为人生的宝贵财富（treasure）。
Part 3 高中学习
师生互动，借助高中课程表落实各学科英文表达。学生进行Self Talk, 鼓励学生大胆开口说英语。
Part 4 校园活动
学习校园各类设施的英文表达。设计补全句子练习题，落实词汇的同时引导学生学会为句子“完善动作”，夯实基础语法——基本句型及时态。
随后进行同桌之间互动对话Small Talk，实现口头语言输出。
Part 5 阅读文章——《英国校园生活》并回答问题
（注：该文章节选自牛津高中英语必修一教材第一单元。牛津高中英语教材在话题选择方面更贴近高中生实际。以第一册为例，共有三个单元，话题分别为：《School Life校园生活》，《Growing Pains成长的烦恼》，《外在美，健康美Looking good, feeling good》）
通过阅读回答问题，学生更直观地学习与本堂课话题相关的地道英语表达，了解英美国家校园文化，输入更多语言材料，并学会在文章中捕捉关键信息，学会答题。文中很多词汇本堂课前半部分都已经讲到，所以也算是一个课堂学习效果的检测。
Part 6 作业
写作——My High School Life. 检验课堂学习效果，实现语言输出。
课后落实：因学生英语基础薄弱，班内同学英语水平参差不齐，所以本堂课的内容对个别学生而言容量有点大。课后将在早自习及布置作业时逐步落实课堂上的词汇及小短文，同时完成对学生写作的反馈。

Part 5 School Life in the UK
Read the passage and answer questions.
……On the first day , all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China.
I had many teachers in the past year. Mr Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. My favourite teacher was Miss Burke---I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.
I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French.……
