talk
about
a
special
girl
named
Sang
Lan,
who
used
to
be
a
successful
gymnast.
What
do

Lan’s
experience:
Do
you
think
Sang
Lan
had
had
a
happy
life
before
she
was
injured?
Do

a

Step
2:
Reading
strategy
The
reading
text
is
an
interview
from
a
TV
programme
about
happiness.
Dr
Brain,
a
psychologist
who
studies
happiness,
is
interviewed
in
a
television
talk
show
and
tells
a
story
about
Sang
Lan.
Do
you
know
what
an
interview
means
and
how
to
read
an
interview?
Let’s
read
the
Reading
strategy
on
page
19.
From
here
we
can
learn
that
an
interview
is
a
formal
meeting
at
which
one
person
asks
another
person
a
series
of
questions
on
a
topic.
When
reading
or
watching
an
interview,
you
should
pay
attention
to
the
topic,
the
opinions
related
to
the
topic,
the
questions
asked
and
the
answers
to
the
questions.

教学反思:
在传统的课堂教学中,学生处于被动状态,以听、想的学习方式接受大量知识,其思维过程被教师所牵制,缺乏主动性,教师也往往被自己设计的教学思路所限制,即为单向传授(act)和应答(react)教学模式。这样的教学,师生缺乏交流、互动不够,缺乏创新,影响
(?http:?/??/?www.?/??)了教学效率和学生能力的培养。而现代教学论指出,教学过程是师生交往、积极互动、共同发展的过程。因此在本课时的教学过程中,我先通过向学生展示了桑兰的几张面带微笑的照片,在融洽的气氛中,让他们产生强烈的求知欲望,处于欲罢不能的境地,兴趣盎然的通读全文,然后我又运用各种阅读技巧和方法最大限度地调动他们学习的主动性和创造性,很快就让学生进入良好的准备状态,激发了他们的学习兴趣,
从而让他们产生一种探求知识的渴望,再而水到渠成地让他们对课堂有进一步探求的心理,去发掘可以使他们产生兴趣的话题,以引起他们的注意。这样,学生就会在轻松和谐的学习气氛中主动去摄取信息,并形成学生自主、老师民主的互动教学氛围。通过本课时的学习学生对什么是真正的幸福,生命的真谛有了非常明确的理解。不足的是部分学生的英语口语不是太好。
