在细节信息阅读中,我给整个阅读活动创设出一个情境:穿越时空遂道,分别学习袁隆平不同的人生阶段。学生在时空遂道的旅行中完成本篇阅读活动,增添了阅读的趣味性,提高学生的阅读兴趣。
本环节采取了分段教学法,每段采取不同的阅读任务:思维导图、看图描述和回答问题,对课文中的细节进行分析、探索,学生对课文达到由表至内的深化理解。
最后通过读袁隆平的简历来复述他的一生,既是对本文的整体回顾,也是对本节语言点和语言结构的巩固。
最后通过总结Yuan成功的三因素,再次回顾人物传记文章的文本结构,加深学生对此类文章的理解。

Post-reading
Watch
a
girl’s
story
and
think
about
the
question:
How
to
make
your
dream
come
true?
Here
is
what
I
want
to
say
to
you:
To
have
a
dream
is
easy
,
but
to
make
it
come
true
is
difficult.
Never
stop!
Never
give
up!
Try
your
best
.
Dream
it
possible.
Watch
the
video.
Answer
the
question:
No,
it’s
not
easy
to
realize
a
dream.
Listen
to
the
teacher.
女孩的故事和袁隆平的经历有相似之处。因此,通过对本视频的观看,再次让学生看到实现梦想的不易,只有付出大量的努力,never
stop!
never
give
up!
达到对学生情感教育的目的。
