Reading(1)：The search for happiness教学设计(第一课时)

Module 6 Unit 2 Reading 教学设计

The search for happiness （寻求幸福） 桃源九中 刘放清

确定教学目标的依据: 从教材分析，本文是一篇主题为幸福的电视采访。受采访的布来恩博士是研究幸福方面的心理学家，他在其中举前体操运动员桑兰为例，桑兰是一个年轻有为并很有潜力的前体操运动员，在跳马等项目上多次获得各类大奖，但不幸的是，她却于1998年7月21日在纽约友好运动会上意外受伤，从此再也无法行走。尽管如此，桑兰并没有向命运低头，而是乐观、坚强地笑对人生。这个事迹足以让每个人感动和学习，对中学生更是一篇难得的情感教育素材，当代中学生多为独生子女，从小衣食无忧，缺乏苦难的磨练，他们也许会经不起生活中的一些小挫折，本人希望借这篇阅读文能与学生一起去体会、学习桑兰的事迹，让学生从中有所启迪。根据英语新课程标准要求，学生通过学习英语，发展英语听、说、读，写的语言技能，从而促进心智，情感，态度与价值观的发展和综合人文素养的提高。高二学生在英语阅读（这篇为采访）中获取、处理、传达信息的能力从中也会进一步得到提高。
