Unit 5 Nelson Mandela
Warming up and Reading
By Mahuimin
I.教材分析:
? 本节课的教学内容是必修一第五单元的Warming-up和Reading,以Reading为主。本课例是高一第五单元的Warming?up?和Reading?部分。热身部分列出了一些形容词,要求学生从中选择一些来描述伟人,引导学生思考伟人应具有的品格,这样的安排既突出了本单元的主题——伟人的品格,又体现了本单元的功能项目——发表意见与评论。?
阅读课文的主要内容是围绕当代英雄——南非前总统曼德拉展开的。课文借穷苦的黑人工人Elias的口吻讲述了南非黑人所受到的不公正待遇以及他们争取种族平等的斗争情况,介绍了1952—1963年期间的曼德拉,从侧面向学生展示了他的高贵品质。这样的写法有别于惯常所采用的平铺直叙,虽然只反映出曼德拉的一个侧面,但读起来却更亲切感人,引人入胜,还留给学生更多的思考空间。?本篇阅读课文围绕?Nelson?Mandela----a?modern?hero?为话题,目的在于使学生了解一个伟人应具备怎样的品质,要求学生掌握一些基本的阅读技能,在有限的时间里最大限度地获取信息,让学生尝试“自主学习、主动思考、乐于协作”.

(设计意图:skimming (略读)是课标中要求的学生需要掌握的阅读的基本技能之一,同时也是阅读课中的一项重要的活动,主要是要求学生迅速阅读文章,找出每段的大意,对文章有粗略的印象,这篇阅读文章主题句非常明显,这个任务容易完成,能够增强学生学习的信心。)

设计意图:
课标中对于阅读技能教学活动,有明确要求,读后活动可以设计为“根据所读内容进行的角色扮演”,因此,根据阅读内容,我设计了对话模式,学生可以参考,模仿,可以训练学生的口语,同时又能对文章加深理解。
Step5 : Summary :
