Warming up、Pre-reading、Reading、Comprehending优质教案设计

Unit 3 Australia

（一）教材分析：

本单元的中心话题是“澳大利亚”，主要内容涉及澳大利亚的地理、历史、主要城市、自然风光、野生动植物、风俗习惯等内容。语言技能和语言知识都是围绕这一中心设计的。

热身（Warming-up）部分用几幅关于澳洲的大城市和著名的风景点的图画，过渡到这个单元的课题，并引出与下面阅读课文相关的词汇和背景知识。

读前部分旨在训练学生的阅读技巧，要求学生快速浏览五篇短文后，回答前面的这个部分设计的三个问题。

阅读部分包含五篇主题相同却风格各异的短文，百科全书选段、新闻报道、广告、明信片、旅游手册文章，从多角度概叙了澳大利亚的国家全貌。理解部分由三项练习组成，练习1和“读前”部分相呼应，也是要求学会快速阅读课文，旨在训练略读技巧。练习2要求学生仔细回答仔细细读课文，同时标出自己以前不了解的一些关于澳大利亚的信息，列出其中最有意思的五项，并与同伴交流讨论。这个练习从形式上看比较简单，但他能使学生对文中信息进行主动加工，从认知层面提升到思维层面，从而书本上的知识纳入了自己的知识体系。练习3是对课文内容的拓展，训练学生的逻辑思维能力和表达能力。由于五篇短文大多是陈述性和描叙性的语言，而没有表达个人的观点的语句，因此，该练习借用文中提到的一些事实发问，以激发学生对文章内容的深沉思考。问题的答案不能从文中直接找到，要求学生有理有据地说出自己的观点。
