《Thanksgiving in the United States》教学反思

这节课的教学重点设计符合学生认知水平，学生学习中把握重点准确及时，针对重点训练能够及时达标。这节课是八年级上册第八单元的阅读课，这篇阅读Thanksgiving in the United States是关于美国的感恩节以及感恩节的传统实物—火鸡制作的内容，阅读材料内容丰富，包含了历史文化知识并涉及到有关实物制步骤的拓展。我设计了两个重点，一是How to make Thanksgiving turkey. 学生通过阅读，将图片编号是针对这一重点的任务之一，2d,在简略做法前加First, Next, Then, Finally是针对性的又一任务。二是了解Thanks-giving的文化习俗，这里我只引导学生对中国传统节日和传统食品，与西方传统节日和食品对比配对，在感恩节的话题上，我引导学生了解了美国人感恩节的感恩对象，感恩理由，同时很自然地联想到To give thanks to the people who you love or who love you.

这个班的学生发言不是很踊跃，这节课的表现基本令人满意。在学习这一单元时，学生对这一单元内容掌握比较好，兴趣也还浓厚，学生对中外节日兴趣浓厚，对感恩节了解不是很多，这节课在感恩节的习俗和文化方面，学生能够通过学习这节课的内容，了解这方面的内容。

基于以上学情分析，我确定了这节课的教法，以学生阅读任务驱动为主，学生阅读感悟，对比中外传统习俗，进一步增强对民族文化的认同感和自豪感。

教学过程第三步生词学习，在教学实际中没有时间，鉴于学生预习在先，学生在学习中没有障碍。但是在最后拓展部分，由于时间关系，没有能给学生在谈论传统节日及制作实物方面留足时间，关于端午节粽子的制作没有学习和了解，非常遗憾。我反思Careful reading（Para. 1）的回答问题环节应该作适当取舍，因为这个练习有点难度，超过了下一步的回答有关Thanksgiving 的5个questions。还有课后的2d练习本来可以选择本节课不做，这样给学生拓展练习会留出更多的时间。
