Step 4 Reading Strategy Activities: Reading and answering Students read reading strategy to find out the answers to the following questions: 1.What should a good speech do? 2. What may the speaker do to achieve this? 【设计意图】此环节使学生了解何为好的演讲，一篇好的演讲通常具备哪些要素。既为下一环节中，在教师的引导下，学生由数据和有趣的故事要素入手，自主获得信息做好铺垫，也为第六个环节的怎样做一个好的演讲提供理论基础。

Step 5 Hunting information Activities: Pair work and oral practice 1.The teacher provides several statistics, which can be categorized into two groups. Students are required to work in pairs, read the passage, find out corresponding related information of who, what, where, when, etc., and then express the information in their own words. An example will be offered by the teacher. Later, all the information will be spoken out by students. Eg. Statistics: 776 BC Information: The Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC. 2.Conclusion: What do we know from the statistics? 【设计意图】此环节以阅读策略为理论依据，在步骤1 中激发学生从好的演讲的基本要素入手，自主获取使“听众”感兴趣的和有用的信息，达到阅读的输入。再通过谁，什么，什么时候，什么地方等方面的整合，将获取的信息用自己的语言表述，达到信息的加工再输出。在步骤2中，使学生结合观察老师所提供的数据以及步骤1中信息的输出，得出结论：从以上数据中，我们了解到了奥运会的历史，其有趣的故事，以及一些运动员和他们的奥运成就，亦实现了教学目标。

教材分析：

本文内容取自牛津高中英语模块四第二单元Reading，主题为The Olympic Games，体裁为演讲。演讲者介绍了奥运会的历史，有趣的故事以及一些著名的运动员及其奥运会成就，学生对话题有一定的熟悉感，但又了解得不够全面，因而容易激发学生的求知欲和对课堂的兴趣。

阅读策略提供了如何做一篇好的演讲的信息，学生可以在这些信息的指导下完成一篇好的演讲；此外，在此策略指导下，教师可以提示学生如何从阅读策略入手，反向从“数据”和“有趣的故事”角度获取使听众感兴趣的信息，也就是演讲中的重要信息。

学情分析：

本堂课授课对象为高一学生。高中生们青春、活力，运动场上的身影随处可见，对一切熟悉和未知事物充满好奇心和兴趣，因而对于奥运会的话题也充满热情。他们富于独创性和团结合作精神，因而独自应对解决问题和合作探究问题的能力兼备。此外经过数年的英语学习，他们已经具备一定的英语基础，在英语课堂上具有信息获取，加工，整合，输出的能力。

教学后记：

本节课的内容是译林牛津出版社出版的高中教材模块四第二单元的Reading 部分，其话题为奥运会，体裁为演讲稿。因而在结合教材的基础上，充分利用阅读策略中好演讲的常见要素中“有趣的故事”、“引用”、“数据”以及“提问”为指导：在阅读中，从“数据”角度，逆向获取跟数据相关的完整的人物、事件、时间、地点等信息，实现阅读策略对读演讲的指导性作用；在做演讲的环节中，以上要素为理论指导，结合演讲的体裁特点，使学生完成一篇演讲的产出。

在本堂课中，教学环节由快速阅读到仔细阅读，由细节信息获取到整体框架，阅读层层深入。在阅读策略指导下的阅读获取信息环节中，学生利用教师提示的数据，自主获得文中相关的人物、时间、时间、地点等要素，加以整合加工，最后以自己的语言表述，达到由阅读的输入，到表述的输出。课堂以学生为主体，从阅读技巧的分析到课堂各项阅读任务的完成，让学生学会自主探究，在篇章结构上给以一定的指导，“授人以渔”。
