教学反思：

本堂课引导学生泛读了两篇科幻小说的简介，让学生了解科幻小说的特点和组成要素，科幻小说是以幻想为主，描述未来即将发生的故事，要有时间，地点，人物，故事情节，解决的问题及一个令人惊奇的结尾。其中的两段电影预告片充分展示了科幻小说天马行空的特点，让人眼花缭乱，目不暇接，但是它们有完整的故事情节，清晰的脉络，精美的画面，这是吸引学生的亮点，虽然两部影片都不是新片，但是紧贴课文，激发了他们学习的兴趣。

写作部分给出学生提纲及要点词，让学生发挥自己的想象，美中不足的是我们展示的刘明宇的作文有点偏诙谐，没有紧扣文章主题，故事结构不完整，句子也有值得改进的地方。

总之，整堂课目的明确，内容丰富，要点突出，很好地训练了学生的阅读能力和写作能力。对于其中的不足我们会努力改进，谢谢大家！
