The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.

范文
Last week, our school organized an activity themed "Glory of Labor”, which proved to be meaningful and indelible.
When we held the class meeting, our teacher informed us of the news that an activity with the theme "Glory of Labor” would be held. On hearing that, we were extremely excited. We regarded it as a wonderful opportunity to experience the real life and couldn't resist the desire to be involved in it .
Having signed up for the activity, I returned home to prepare the luggage. Hardly had I entered my bedroom when I took out my suitcase. I packed my necessities into it which included some clothes, towels and the water glass. I couldn't wait to experience the activity .
Then came the unforgettable moment. Together with my classmates, I came to the watermelon patch. The moment we reached the destination, we were divided into several groups and got down to work. Some students were responsible for picking the watermelons, some students put the watermelons into the baskets while others carried the baskets filled with watermelons to the specified place. Tired as we were, we were in high spints.
Time passed before we knew it. After getting the task finished, I returned home and recalled the whole day, sharing my excitement with my parents. With my favorite meal served, they spoke highly of me. An overwhelming sense of pride came over me.
It was through this experience that I realized that labor is glorious Never could it fade from my mind and I expected an other activity like this.

各位老师:
大家好!
我说的课题是高中一年级英语上册第2单元English around the world的第三课时Reading。我说课的内容包括三部分，一是教材分析，二是说教法，三是说教学程序。
一、 教材分析
1、单元背景分析
本单元讨论的话题是“世界英语”介绍了英语在当今世界范围内人们生活中扮演的不同角色及其重要意义。尤其介绍了英美语言的差异，让学生更进一步了解学好英语的必要性和其重要意义。促使学生了解英美语言在词汇、拼写、语音等方面的区别。使学生在认识到学好英语的重要性的同时，更加热爱自己的祖国，从而培养他们的祖国意识。
2、教材内容分析
本课是高中一年级英语上册 ，unit 2 English around the world 中的Reading.
w本单元的中心话题是“世界英语”，具体涉及“英语在当今世界范围内人们生活中扮演的不同角色及其重要意义，以及英美语言的差异”。本课的语言知识及语言技能主要是围绕“世界英语”这一中心话题进行设计的。
w本课时主要分为两部分:
1)Pre-reading. (读前准备)
“ 读前准备”部分是Reading的前奏，此部分设计了两个问题，诱发学思考。通过对问题的讨论和比较，让学生明白学好英语的重要性。
2).Reading (阅读)
“阅读”部分文体为说明文，全文共分三个段落。全文阐述了一个鲜明的观点:英语的确是当今世界范围内使用最广泛的一门语言之一，也是联合国的工作语言之一，它的重要作用是其他语言不可替代的。
3)Post-reading(读后)
“读后”部分共设计了两类题型:第一部分是和个问题，其中前面两个是细节理解题;第三题是一个开放性题目，鼓励学生把英语学习与现实生活相结合。第二部分是填空形式，帮助学生梳理文章，掌握文章主要细节，概括中心思想，实为文章的一个纲要。
三部分均以提高学生阅读能力为主，所以将此三部分有科学地整合成一节阅读课。
3、教学重点
1)、使学生在认识学好英语的重要性的同时，更加热爱自己的祖国。
2)、发展学生的阅读能力，尤其是归纳总结，猜词和查读(scanning)的能力。
3)、使学生通过交际性任务和合作的机会，培养他们用谚语思维和交际的能力。
4、教学难点
1)、使学生在认识到学好英语的重要性的同时，更加热爱自己的祖国，从而培养他们的祖国意识。
2)、与同伴一起讨论并找到解决问题的方法。
5、教学目标
根据课文特点及新课标对高一年级学生英语学习能力的要求，本课的教学目标我定为以下几方面:一、语言目标，二、情感目标。
1. 语言目标
本课为阅读课型，是一篇说明文，涉及了英语在当今世界范围内人们生活中扮演的不同角色及其重要意义。尤其介绍了英美英语语言的差异。通过阅读使学生了解“世界英语”的一些基本概况，包括它的重要性和英美英语的差异。教师根据课文内容用不同的形式来训练学生，提高阅读技能。由于课文讲述的是世界英语的话题，学生会感兴趣。为了引起共鸣，可把课文与生活中经历结合一起讨论。本课的目的是使学生提高听、说和阅读能力，更深的了解学好英语的重要意义。从而激发学生学习英语的兴趣。
2. 情感目标
让学生领会英美不同文化差异和风俗习惯， 领会语言丰富多彩性和发展变化的特征，使学生在认识世界英语在人们生活中扮演的不同角色的同时，更加热爱自己的祖国，从而培养他们的祖国意识。培养他们的跨国文化意识和世界意识。
二、说教法
教学环环相扣，设计紧凑。先利用学生感兴趣的话题引起兴趣，然后带着问题有目的地阅读文章。通过回答问题掌握细节，理清线索，再从整体上把握它的结构、特色，学习用英语归纳以及复述，最后以拓展课文知识小组活动完成这节课的整体教学。使他们掌握阅读技巧的同时也增加了见识。在小组讨论过程中，学会用已学词、句表达出自己的观点。学生通过体验、实践、讨论、合作和探究等方式，发展听、说、读、写的综合语言技能。
为了能很好地突出重点，突破难点，圆满完成教学任务，取得良好的教学效果，我抓住重点，联系实际，以学生为主体，教师为主导，让学生集中练习。为了激发学生的兴趣愉快地学，我采用限时阅读、快速阅读、判断正误等教学方法，让学生充分体现课堂教学“主体者”的身份。
三、说教学程序
1、导入:首先在学生对英语是世界上最广泛使用的语言和越来越多的人在学习英语现有情况了解的基础上，引出问题“Do you know how many countries use English as their mother tongue?Do you know something about English around the world?”在学生思索时，引出课题English around the world。接着再询问学生:What language has the largest number of speakers in the world? What language is the most widely spoken and used in the world? How many countries do you know use English as their mother tongue?使学生对本节课的话题有进一步了解，而且很有兴趣了解“世界英语”的具体情况。从另一个角度，先给学生一个语言上的input。激发学生的兴趣和欲望.
2、Pre-reading (读前准备):在学生回答了以上问题后，我让学生看这一部分课本上所设的两个问题: 1) How many languages do you speak? Which is your native language? 2) If you speak more than one language, in what situation do you use the languages?让学生仔细思考后回答。教师不必忙着下结论，诱导他们从书中去思考寻找答案，激发他们探究的兴趣。
3、Reading:使学生了解英语在当今世界范围内人们生活中扮演的不同角色及其重要意义。
任务 1:Listen to the tape ，听录音，然后让学生尽力得出大意并且回答问题
1. How many countries are there where the majority of people speak English?
2. How is English used in Hong Kong?
3. What language should we use on the Internet so that we can communicate with people around the world ?
任务2:让学生带着问题阅读课文(scanning)。有目的性阅读是阅读训练一种技巧，并且提醒学生不用太多花大多注意力在地名和新单词上面，集中精力探究文章内容。阅读后学生给出答案
(教师不要袖手旁观，可以给学生必要的引导和帮助，发展学生的自主学习能力，真正的成为学习的主体。)

5、Summing-up(总结)
Through learning this passage, we have got to know that English is becoming more and more popular all over the world now. So English learning seems important to everyone, especially us students of the new century. With China’s entry into WTO, English will play a more important part in business, in tourism, and even in people’s daily life. So it’s no doubt that everyone should have a good knowledge of English. And I hope everyone in our class can make an effort to learn English well. But on the other hand, it doesn’t mean English is better than Chinese. We must keep it in mind that one’s mother tongue is the most beautiful language in the world. The reason why we learn English is that we should thus be more capable of building up our country. (这是个很好的机会引导学生在领会学好英语的重要性的同时，更加热爱自己的祖国，从而培养他们的祖国意识。It’s a good chance to lead the students to love our own country as well
as to learn English well.)
