Module 2 Highlights of My Senior Year
教材分析
话题介绍
本模块主题是对学校生活进行描述，介绍学校俱乐部以及课外活动的形式和内容，进行中美文化的对比，进一步增强学生对学校的热爱。
Reading
INTRODUCTION 和READING AND VOCABULARY合并为第一课时“阅读课”。 “Introduction”了解美国中学学制、学习年限和学生的分段情况，接触有关词汇，联系中国学制，展开说的活动。课文“Highlights of My Senior Year”属记叙文，学生课前自学、预习的基础上，以背景介绍导入新课，然后采取“自上而下”的阅读教学模式，引导学生关注文章的篇章结构、段落大意，得出“树型图”，进行“信息转换”，理解全文、复述意义。 教师还可以参考“教学资源”，帮助学生解决字、词、句等方面的问题。
Function
第二课时FUNCTION Describing location是“功能课”，学习描述“观点”。教学重点是句式 “As far as I’m concerned…, What’s your view about …, In my view…”用法。
Grammar
课本P18 GRAMMAR 1 Predicative clauses and subject clauses和P21的Grammar 2 Subject clauses 合并为第三课时“语法课”，集中学习和演练Predicative clauses and subject clauses。语法教学的方法不外乎“归纳法”、和“演绎法”。在外语教学环境中，一般采用演绎法。
Writing
课本P24的“Writing”为 “写作课”，学习writing about your ideal senior high school life。引导学生用对话形式演绎阅读课课文，然后模仿其语篇结构、尽量运用课文中学到的词语、结构和话题模式，介绍自己的理想高中生活。
Speaking
课本P24的“SPEAKING”和“EVERYDAY ENGLISH” 为“口语课”。利用我们提供的材料，使用“演绎法”教学“反意疑问句”，然后模仿课文模式，引导学生小组谈论中国学制、学校生活和美国中学学制、学校生活进行比较全面的对比，鼓励不同意见，允许争论。
Cultural Corner
了解美国和中国的啦啦队的情况。“文化阅读课”和“阅读课”的区别是：前者注重意义阅读，后者注重技能阅读。
Task
课本P28的TASK 是“任务课”，对本模块的词语、语法、功能和日常英语进行总结和归纳， 是培养学生自我总结、自我反思等学习策略的重要形式。 学生可在时间精力允许的情况下，利用阅览室和多媒体，做一些有关美国学校生活和拉拉队活动等方面的课外阅读和了解，扩大视野，巩固增加词汇量和语言结构。
