Unit 2 Great minds教案教学设计导入设计

Two Geniuses 阅读课教学设计

教材分析：

本教学材料选自上海牛津英语课本高一下册第二单元Great Minds。本课文主要讲述伟大的物理学家爱因斯坦的一则轶事。作为一名声名鹊起的年轻物理学家，爱因斯坦经常要出去作讲座。有一天，由于比较疲劳，他不想作讲座，于是由他的司机Hans取而代之，并因此出现了问题，最后由机智的Hans化险为夷的有趣故事。文章阅读难度不高，故事有趣，因此学生阅读障碍不大，且有一定的阅读兴趣。因此，教师旨在如何继续挖掘学生的兴趣点，使他们更积极地投入课堂活动，并培养他们语言意义再次建构的能力。

学情分析：

本校是区级示范学校，学生学习基础尚可，但是学习主动性和积极性有待教师挖掘，语言输出能力相对较弱。学生的创新能力和思维能力需要教师引导培养。

教学重点：

1. 通过图片观察激发学生课堂参与的积极性。

2. 通过文本梳理，引导学生对故事场景进行再现，培养学生的创新能力和语言综合运用能力。

教学资源：

课本、PPT课件、表演道具（椅子）

教学目标：

1. 通过快读，学生了解文本内容构成，明晰故事发展的三个阶段；

2. 通过读图，学生积极参与课堂思考和活动，发展观察和分析判断能力；

3. 通过表演，学生实现语言意义的再次构建和输出；

4. 通过对“天才”话题的思考，引导学生明白勤奋在获得成功时的决定性作用。
