SOS
Some time ago, a light passenger plane flew off course and it crashed in the mountains and its pilot died. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were not hurt. It was the middle of winter. There was heavy snow on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the suitcase herself, but it was too small.
Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters “SOS” in the snow. Luckily, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived to save the survivors of the plane crash.

教学反思 一、如何去有效的整合课程内容？面对书上两页课文内容，需要将其进行顺序内容上面的重新分析和深加工，重新进行顺序上的调整，在面授的时候也有利于学生的学习和掌握。例如在本节课中，我以video（2012）作为导入，先切入本单元的主题（natural disasters），引起学生的兴趣，相应的进行简单的回顾。接着直接有这个话题引入书上最后一个speak-up部分，内容相近，讨论的也是自然灾害。这样调整顺序比较自然顺畅。二、如何合理有效地进行教学设计？简单的说就是要设计教学任务。需考虑几点：1. 教学设计要与本节课的教学目的和内容紧密结合，必须是有目的，有计划的。本节课听说读写贯穿于课堂，经过这几个环节后必须要让学生清楚地知道你的教学内容, 他们要掌握的重点。2. 课堂教学设计要体现英语交际性原则。课堂教学并非是“我教你学”，而是师生之间，学生之间的交流；课堂教学活动是通过交际使学生认识英语，掌握英语，形成运用英语的能力。在本节课中，我设置了一些有意义的语言情景，安排各类课堂教学活动，pair work, group work, role play等等，引导学生运用所学的语言和知识进行交际。为了使英语课堂教学活动尽量体现真实的交际，教师在设计时要创造“信息沟”( information gap )，使学生感到进行交际活动的必要性。比如在课文内容结束后，我设计了一个采访活动。让学生分别充当电视记者和被采访者（SuNing），在采访的过程中巩固课文中学到的相关短语句子以及感受。三、在部分的细节上要格外注意。有人说“细节决定成败”。可以几个方面来思考：1. 每个教学环节之间的衔接需做到自然流畅。教师设计的问题以及衔接语不能太突兀，要能够很好地把前后两个环节自然的连接起来。本节课在这一点上是做得比较到位的。比如，在讨论完交通事故之后，提问：who will come to the accident scene first？what will the police write about the accident in the report 通过问题回答引入到书上的“police report”2. 在某些语言的表达上应该做到精益求精，力争完美。面对学生不同的回答要做出适当的评价，当学生回答不出某些问题的时候，试着设计一些问题引导学生思考。也就是说在备课的过程中，要预设课堂的生成。这节课总的来说比较顺利地完成了预期的目标和任务，收到了比较好的效果，但是还是遗憾多多。由于本身这节课的话题比较沉重，不容易使学生兴奋开心起来。所以在课堂上虽然能做到让大多数学生都听讲并做好笔记，但学生的课堂参与仍然不够积极主动，本人还需对提问的技巧和艺术进行研究。整个教学步骤比较清晰，但是我上课说话的速度可能有点快，特别是在某写需要强调的地方应该稍微放慢速度，更多的吸引学生的注意力。(共35张PPT)
