Unit 2 Great minds设计意图

A The Nobel Prize Read this leaflet about the Nobel Prize.

Alfred Nobel was an inventor born in Sweden. When he died in 1896, he left a lot of money and property. This was then worth nine million US dollars, and later became the original source of the world-famous Nobel Prize. Nobel believed that the spread of knowledge would make the world a better place. The yearly-awarded prizes are given to honour those who help mankind. Nobel said that the prizes should honour ‘the most important discoveries or inventions’ in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine and ‘the most outstanding works’ in literature.

Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been presented to the winners on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death. At the award ceremony in the Stockholm Concert Hall, the King of Sweden hands each winner a diploma and a medal. The ceremony is followed by a large banquet for about 1,300 people. Among the guests of honour are the Nobel Prize winners and their families, the King and the Queen, and many well-known leaders in science and culture. Two hundred and fifty young students are also honoured with invitations to this grand occasion.

The Nobel Prize 教案设计（第一课时）

执教教师：叶明

一、文本分析

1. 文本特征

文本标题为The Nobel Prize，蓝色。标题下的斜体部分提示文章来自介绍诺贝尔奖的一则小册子，文章正文共三段，底色为黄色，无图。

2. 文本特点

1）从文本的语言来看，文章篇幅较短，数字较多，使用了被动结构，倒装结构，可以利用起来帮助学生巩固复习前面学过的语法知识。文章第二段第三段各有一句字数较多。学生理解起来可能有难度。

2）从文本的结构来看，文章结构非常清晰，可以分为三个部分，第一部分介绍诺贝尔奖起源，第二部分介绍诺贝尔奖的宗旨，第三部分介绍诺贝尔奖颁奖仪式流程。

3）从文本的内容来看，第一段介绍诺贝尔奖是为瑞典的发明家诺贝尔而创立；第二段介绍的是诺贝尔奖是为了奖励为人类生活做出杰出贡献的人，诺贝尔奖主要设立了包括物理学、化学、生理学、文学；第三段介绍的是诺贝尔奖在每年的12月10号颁发，并介绍了参与颁奖仪式的人员，包括瑞典国王和女王，科学家们以及学生。

二、学情分析

学生对诺贝尔奖应该都有听说，但是大部分同学对诺贝尔奖的来源，具体奖项和颁奖流程可能不是很清楚。

本文中对重点单词的理解可以帮助学生更好地理解文章，比如“original source; award; honor; present; diploma; medal; banquet”.

三、阅读策略

考虑到学生对诺贝尔奖并不陌生，因此lead-in部分以与学生对话开始，了解学生已有的有关诺贝尔奖的相关背景知识，通过数字猜测激发学生的阅读兴趣。

在词汇的教学过程中，主要采用图片，举例等形式展开。

通过skimming与scanning帮助学生了解诺贝尔奖来源，宗旨及授奖仪式。并通过让学生讨论的形式探究什么样的人应该获得诺贝尔奖，最后通过角色扮演进行演讲及小组讨论等活动，帮助学生进一步熟悉文本内容。

四、教学的重点与难点

文章生词较多，第一课时重点应放在落实文章重点词汇“award, honour, anniversary, present, diploma, banquet”等的教授上，以帮助学生更好地了解诺贝尔奖的各种奖项，颁奖流程等。在对文本内容基本熟悉的基础上，教师还要激发同学探讨获得诺贝尔奖需要哪些优秀的品质，使学生对诺贝尔奖的认识得到巩固与升华。

教学反思：

1. 教学内容方面本节课可以在课前导入部分对Alfred Nobel进行简单介绍，这样给学生输入的背景知识上更加充实。

2. 在对学生的把握上要注意，针对不同英文层次的学生应该给予不同的要求。特别要注意对英语层次较差的学生给予更多的关注。

3. 在PPT的设计中可以考虑更加简化、明确、清晰，有些不必要出现的内容尽量不要出现。

4. 注意上课的姿态，因为学生是很善于模仿的，因此教师的一言一行都是处于学生的审视下的。

5. 在与同学保持亲和力的同时要注意如何维护自己在学生心中的威严。要把握好这个度。

一句话感言：

教师应该关注学生，从学生的角度进行教案的设计！
