指导思想与理论依据
《普通高中英语课程标准》(2017)指出“普通高中英语课程倡导指向学科核心素养发展的英语学习活动观和自主学习、合作学习、探究学习等学习方式。教师应设计具有综合性、关联性和实践性特点的英语学习活动,使学生通过学习理解、应用实践、迁移创新等一系列融语言、文化、思维为一体的活动,获取、阐释和评判语篇意义,表达个人观点、意图和情感态度。”
本单元的教学设计注重学生对文本的理解、分析和应用,引导学生独立思考,培养学生逻辑性、批判性和创新性的思维品质。小组合作活动上着重设计了让学生自主学习,合作探究的环节。学生在团结合作的前提下完成学习任务。在语言和思维的支撑下,完成对现实问题的解决,使其成长为有文明素养和身心健康的人。
教学内容分析

该文本讲述了大学生张天毕业后选择去贵州支教的故事,展现了他积极的生活态度与他所具有的社会责任感,属于“人与自我”主题。其主题意义在于通过张天支教的故事,让学生了解如何通过人生的选择实现个人价值。
主要内容:
该文本讲述了大学毕业生张天只身一人来到贵州支教的故事。他怀揣美好的愿望来到学校,却发现学校和他想象的完全不一样。学校很小,设施很差。工作环境和生活条件都非常艰苦。张天知难而上,为孩子们开设新课程、举办活动,帮助孩子们在学业上取得了很大的进步,此外,张天也给小村庄带来了巨大的变化,帮助村民招商引资,得到了村民的热爱。
文体结构:
该文是一篇人物报道,结构清晰。主要由三部分构成:第一部分讲述了张天一天的生活,让读者感到他辛苦的支教生活,吸引读者了解他选择这种生活方式的原因。第二部分介绍了张天支教的原因,让读者感到他是一名怀揣梦想的青年。第三部分介绍了他的工作和生活环境,与他的梦想形成强烈对比。第四部分讲述了他不畏艰难,开拓进取,改变学校、学生、村庄的事迹。作为一篇记叙文,作者清晰地描述了支教的背景(起因)、过程中的矛盾(经过)和后期的发展(高潮),并通过系列事件的描写,表现了张天的人物性格。
语言修辞:
作者在多处采用对比手法来表现张天的转变,以及他给学校、学生、村庄带来的变化。比如支教前张天的兴奋和体验艰苦支教生活后的退缩念头之间的对比,张天来到前后学校环境的对比,学生学习情况的对比等。此外,作者通过描述张天内心的情感变化,帮助读者感受张天逐渐爱上这种生活方式的过程,如eager, exciting, enjoyed, satisfied等词。在描写过程中,作者使用由-ed/-ing构成的形容词生动的描写情景、事物,表现人物的情感。

Read report again. Complete the information. Then tell your partner about Zhang Tian.
Reasons to be a Volunteer Teacher.
He wanted to start a new lifestyle. Inspired by the wonderful teachers from small villages who he met during his early school years, he wanted to go and teach where he was needed the most.
Situations when he arrived:
School:
The school was much smaller than he had expected, with only three classrooms. In front of the classrooms, there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days.
Living conditions:
Living in the village was also more challenging than he has thought. The power and water supplies were unstable , so he could only shower every three or four days and he had to learn how to cook.
Changes he made:
School subjects: Zhang Tian introduced more subjects to the school---music, art and PE.
School activities: Their school life are now more attractive and interesting, and they enjoy playing football in the playground as well as singing songs they’ve learnt. He is planning to organize the first-ever school concert.
Students’ learning: His students were able to read, speak, and write in English, and they became more confident in learning.
Villagers’ life: He contacted charity organizations about rebuilding the playground and setting up a library, and helped the villages sell local products online.
