Unit 5 A Trip on “The True North”?教学设计
一、教学分析
1.?教学课题
本课出自《人教版普通高中课程标准实验教科书英语（必修3）》第5单元《加拿大—“真北方”》阅读课文：《“真北方”之旅》。
Unit 5 Canada — “ The True North”?Reading: ?A Trip on “The True North”.
2.??课程类型：阅读课
3.??授课时间：45分钟
4．教学重、难点
教学重点：①训练学生整体理解文章大意，通过快速阅读抓信息的能力并引导学生学会与他人合作。
②引导学生通过合作探究、情景表演等形式理解落实本课要点，能将所学句型词汇用于交际。
? 教学难点：①如何利用略读、查读等阅读技巧和识别关键词、确定主题句、预测等阅读手段形成阅读策略。
②如何帮助学生运用阅读策略，促进学生自主学习。
③怎样以阅读课的教学为依托，全面训练学生的听、说、读、写能力。
5．教学目标
知识与技能：引导学生学习阅读一篇游记并学习使用地图看路线。通过阅读能够描述课文所涉及的加拿大的相关城市，并提炼有用词汇句型用于交际。
过程与方法：通过任务型教学的问题引领，培养学生积极主动参与、探究学习的能力及创新精神；小组合作培养学生合作互助互学的精神；快速阅读抓信息的方法。
情感、态度与价值观：通过加拿大之旅，带领学生去领略大自然之美。
通过中西方文化交流，提高学生跨文化交际的能力；
同时引导学生热爱生活和热爱自然的意识；发展学生的合作精神。
5．教学方法
我在本节阅读教学中，采用任务型教学法和小组合作探究学习法，淡化语言点和语法知识的简单传授，从而扩大课堂的语料输入量（图片、文字说明及视频影像资料）及学生的语言输出量（个体和集体答题、小组讨论和大范围的表演），包括注重培养学生“课前、课中、课后”良好的学习习惯。我具体采用了以下教学方法：
①提问法?—?逐步引导，逐渐深入；
②自主探究法?—?学生实践，巩固提高；
③归纳法与整理法?—?学生实践，形成积极的抽象思维；
④讨论法?—?积极参与，总结规律；形成正确的自我评价与相互评价；
⑤点拨法?—?展开联想，拓宽思路。
6.?学法渗透
? 本课我结合活动教学法和任务型教学法，在教学中将学生分成四人一组的学习小组，让学生们在小组中通过合作和探究来完成他们的任务。简单任务个体完成，难度较大的问题需要小组讨论交流。通过这种形式的教学，同学们参与性大大提高，及时基础较薄弱的同学也能在团队表演中找到用武之地，使个别差异在集体教学中发挥积极作用。
7.?教学手段
?多媒体辅助教学：将本课所需要的动画、录音、图片、文字、图表和音乐制成丰富的课件使抽象的语言变得直观，为学生运用英语进行交际创设情景。
?
二、教学过程
Step 1 Leading - in 导入（时间：6分钟）
T’s activity: Show a picture about Canada’s coast and a world map. Questions: Do you like traveling?
Do you like to travel abroad?
Where have you ever been？
What’s your impression/ feeling there?
Ss’ activity: Students may say “yes” and share their thoughts about their travel home and abroad.
T’s activity: Guide them find Canada on the map .
Questions: What’s your impression on Canada?
The important sentence pattern on the blackboard:
Canada is a ___________ country, where we can see______________.
Ss’ activity: Brainstorm (possible words: beautiful, big, popular…/ mountains…)
T’s activity: Show the video to introduce Canada
Ask them the same question again.
Ss’ activity: Students may give more information /words to describe Canada, especially the word “livable”, which they may get from the video.
【设计说明】
导入部分采取交互问答的方式，采用了图片、文字及视频影像等形象直观，引出本课的标题: A Trip on “The True North”《“真北方”之旅》,为本课的教学做铺垫。
1. 问题引导：由简单问题Do you like traveling? 层层递进，步步深入，进而自然引出到国外旅游，对加拿大的粗浅印象。
词汇准备：板书Canada is a ___________ country, where we can see______________.
看视频前学生提供少量简单词汇。通过视频中的词汇和画面刺激，学生能提供更丰富的词汇来填充句型。这为本节课达到教学目标做好较为充分准备。
3. 多媒体优势：本节选取的视频非常适合本单元话题，几乎所有的城市和景点都呈现其中，并配有地道的简短介绍，尽管短而快，但是足以调动学生的积极性和好奇心，对美丽的加拿大充满向往。
Step?2?Prediction（时间：1分钟）)
T’s activity: Guide the students to predict what will be included in this travel journal.
Questions: According to the title, can you predict what will be included in this travel journal?
Can you give me some “wh” words? For example, Who.
Ss’ activity: Students may give the right answers with my help.
【设计说明】
预测能力对文本的阅读理解很重要，这个步骤虽简短但不可或缺。本节课还要在快速阅读之后，回头查看印证学生是否预测正确，从而增强阅读信心和激发求知欲.
Step 3 Fast Reading?泛读（时间：5分钟）
T’s activity: Ask the students to go through the passage quickly to finish the two tasks in this step..
( to sum up the main idea and draw their travel route.)
The passage is about a ____ of two girls, and it tells us some ____ about Canada.
Ss’ activity: Read the passage quickly and fill in the blanks.
(trip, information/ scenery)
Circle the places they covered and draw their travel route.
【设计说明】
本文是一篇游记，具有较清晰的时空线索。在预测文本之后，学生很容易能很快速读并成功完成任务，正确回答问题。值得注意的是，学生要多加练习skimming及scanning等阅读技巧，锁定有效信息。
1. 概括文章大意采用填空形式，降低了任务难度，增加指向性，提高学生成就感，并且为其提供概括此类main idea 的固定句型。
2. 文章涉及多个地名，不属于阅读课重点，学生不易拼读，只要求学生速读并锁定位置，就能推出travel route, 同样也旨在锻炼学生扫读和跳读技巧，增加指向性，提高学生成就感。
Step?4 ?Careful reading?精读（时间：21分钟）
?? T’s activity: Guide the students go back to the prediction part to see whether it is right or not.
According to the Fast Reading, we have known the answers of” who” and “which places”, and the rest of the questions should be settled by careful reading.
(How did they go there? Why？What can they see during their journey? )
【设计说明】
此处回顾预测部分，既能证明预测的重要性，又能明确文章大意和思路，自然过渡
Careful reading部分，让学生明确不同的阅读方法和阅读步骤的作用。
Para 1: To guide students to know the background from paragraph 1.
T’s activity: Ask students to read paragraph 1.
Finish the “W” questions.
Encourage students to introduce the trip briefly.
Ss’ activity: Read paragraph 1 carefully.
Answer questions.
Try to introduce the trip briefly.
【设计说明】
此处问题设置为按关键词查找答案。Where to go / whom to visit 等即为本次旅游背景介绍以及首段大意，直接明了。
鼓励学生复述介绍the trip，锻炼语言表达能力和复述能力。并且配有地图和动画说明，在相关关键词的引导下，快速复述课文变得容易且生动有趣。
动画中引出火车”the True North”以及途径那些地方，旅途见闻。
Para 2: Danny Lin’s description for Canada and Vancouver .
To get to know Vancouver in Paragraph 2 and try to introduce it.
T’s activity: Ask students to read paragraph 2.
Guide students to study the name of the train.
Encourage students to find the information about Vancouver.
Ss’ activity: Read paragraph 2.
Study the name of the train “The True North”.

(1)Canada’s __________ part.
(2)Canada’s most _________ city, surrounded by ________________
(3)One of Canada’s most _________ cities to live in.
(4)Some of the _________________ in the world.
【设计说明】
文章第二段主要涉及几个要点：列车的名字；Danny Lin对Canada 整体描述及对Vancouver的描述。设置的任务旨在引导学生掌握这几点。
任务2和3 都有相关图片，刺激感官，深化认识。
针对Vancouver的介绍，概括为Four “the most”s，并由个性化问题引出，比直接问要生动。
人口增长快也由图片引出。
Paras 3-5 What they saw on their trip.
To get to know what they could see when crossing the Rocky Mountains.

3. Understand the fact that the Great Lakes are very large and their large amount of fresh water.
4. Read the last paragraph together to know their last stop: Lake Superior and Toronto , as well as some useful key words.
【设计说明】
问题设置：后三段为旅途见闻主体部分。针对此次涉及的三站：Rocky Mountains，Calgary and the Great Lakes, 设置五个问题，旨在引导学生了解相关信息，为之后的语言输出（介绍地点）做准备。
合作探究：问题4和5 ，文中并未直接告知，需要学生理解归纳。此处设置Group Discussion 活动。
图文并茂：学生对Stampede较陌生，短视频全面立体介绍Stampede，使学生更易演绎介绍。图片丰富有针对性，再结合动画演示，使学生更立体全面领略加拿大风光物产和民俗文化。
?
Step 5 ?Activity: Dialogue?对话活动（时间：10分钟）
Task: Suppose Li Daiyu and Liu Qian happened to meet a reporter and a cameraman on the train across Canada. Make a dialogue among them.
T’s activity: Guide students to review their travel route. (过渡)
目的：熟悉相关城市地点，并抛出问题：
Which place do you like best?
If you take a trip there, what will you manage to catch sight of ?
What impresses you most?
以上皆为本节课介绍地点重要句型，能引导学生为以下活动做好准备。
Ss’ activity: Make preparations and then show their performances.
【设计说明】
本部分开展的教学活动是建立在学生对文章整体理解基础上的。对话活动既锻炼了学生的英语语言交际能力，又使学生进一步加深对加拿大的了解，进一步拓展国际视野，更加热爱旅游热爱生活.
教师引导学生得出有用句型和词汇，为学生建构知识体系搭建了脚手架。
学生对加拿大的认识比上课伊始简单的词汇更全面更丰满，前后对比明显。
Read a thousand books, and travel a thousand miles读万卷书, 行万里路为大家的表演画上圆满句号。此部分作为本文阅读后的一个拓展和升华，体现了素质教育中培养学生创新思维的思想。
Step 6 Conclusion and appreciation 总结与欣赏 (时间：2分钟)
Enjoy the beautiful sentences while appreciating the beautiful pictures
【设计说明】
表演的热闹后归于平静并回归课本，再次领略文字之美和自然之美。
Step?7 Homework?作业
1. Remember the beautiful sentences.
2. Write a short passage to report what Li Daiyu and Liu Qian saw in Canada.
【设计说明】
任务型活动：课外作业、课堂小组活动延伸到课外，学生仍然可以互相合作完成该写作任务。该环节是本课所有教学环节的延续，通过写的练习，使学生逐步学会使用文段中的语言素材，活用固定的表达方法，学生需要用所学的语言讨论自己感兴趣的话题，表达自己的思想，与同伴交流各自了解的信息，达到了形成和提高写作能力与技巧的目的。
