北师大英语八年级上册Unit 5 Helping Communication Workshop 教学设计

Unit 5 Communication Workshop
教材分析：
本课是北师大版《初中英语》八年级上册教材第5单元的Communication Workshop。本单元的话题是Helping，属于课程标准话题8“人际交往”下的子话题“社会行为”。在本单元前三课，围绕本单元话题，学生分别学习了在社区做义工、同学间互相帮助和灾难前挽救他人生命的同龄人的子话题；并学习了提出与应答请求，过去进行时等语言知识。通过前三课的学习，学生已经进行了关于本单元话题的语言学习和初步应用，储备了话题下的相关知识。Communication Workshop是在单元前三课学习基础上，结合话题Helping，以及与该话题相关的语言知识和语言技能，进行以写作为主要形式的语言输出表达。
本单元写作围绕Helping的话题，描写一日的系列活动，展现活动中的心情和感受。教材呈现了一篇Emma介绍自己最喜欢的歌星来到福利院，共同度过特别一天的文章，是学生写作模仿的范文。因此，应重点从本课范文中进行写作的学习，获得后续学生自己写作的支撑，而非侧重对篇章细节的理解和信息的获取。分析范文，学生需要从范文中学习以下几个方面：
主题：通过描写一日活动，体现特定的感受、心情或主题，因此活动的选取要 为体现主题服务；
文体：一日活动是系列事件的描写，属于记叙文文体，要有时间、地点、人物和事件等因素，要按照时间顺序进行描写；
结构：为了不使一日活动写成流水账，活动的描写要有详有略，活动描写的过程中要展现人物的情绪和感受；
语言：一日活动记录的是过去发生的事，因此要使用过去时，在描写过程中要注意合理使用连接词，加强写作的连贯与衔接。
根据对教材内容的分析，本课计划分两课时完成。第一课时，学生在明确写作任务的前提下，学习范文的结构、描写特征和语言，逐步完善自己的构思，进行初步写作。第二课时，在学生自查问题的基础上，开展同学互评，关注语篇意义的表达、衔接与连贯（特别是逻辑方面）和语言表达，在修改后成稿。
本课的写作内容是帮助他人，学生要在写作过程中关注帮助他人的感受与心情，进而体现写作的主题。写作过程本身也是学生感知帮助他人进而愉悦自身的过程。
学情分析：
本课的授课对象是北京市示范中学八年级中等水平的学生。他们思维比较活跃、乐于参与课堂活动，具有一定的词汇和语法基础。在写作上，学生能够对一般话题进行简单的表达，但在内容的丰富性和逻辑性上可能存在一定的困难，是教学过程要重点解决的内容。本学期学生刚参加过爱心活动，因此不缺乏写作内容，但如何进行合理组织，以避免写成流水账是学习的难点。
