Learning about Language教学设计(第二课时)

Book4 unit2 Working the land Reading 1

A pioneer for all people 方案一1 Lead-in （展示一张图片，显示本单元的主题---working the land）

T：What does working the land mean? Have a guess what will be talked about in this unit?

(Free talk, but it is the best that Ss will refer to agriculture,farm, farmer, land, fertile…..) T: I say the source of food that we eat comes form the land, do you agree? T: What’s your staple food?

( In English, we call a basic food that everyone eats everyday is a “staple food”.)---Maybe it is necessary for T to explain the meaning of staple food.

( with pictures , it should be easy for my Ss to check out the word---rice, then T can goes to the next step Brainstorming)

设计说明：本单元的主题是working the land, 涉及有关于农业，绿色农业的知识，还有我国著名的科学家袁隆平。在本堂课中，教师将教学的重点放在对袁的介绍，即第一篇阅读的内容理解上，所以导入的部分较简单。

Step2. Brainstorming

T: When it comes to the word—rice, what will you think of? (Free talk)

( Ss may think of many different things, such as farmers, agriculture, …最理想的是学生回提到这一单元中的新单词、词汇))

( 方案：

或者在这里会有学生提到饥饿，那么顺水推舟让学生看一些关于世界饥饿问题的图片，从而让学生感受到粮食及粮食产量多少对全世界的意义所在，从而让学生能够更深切感受到袁对国家乃至世界所作出的重大贡献；但如若没有学生提到这一点，教师此刻可以提及，例如：Rice reminds of some shocking pictures …) T: Huger is still a serious problem in the world. So what can we really do to help those people?

(Free talk. Ss may give various answers. Now T can go to Dr. Yuan, if Ss don’t refer to him) T: When I see the word “rice”, it reminds me of some pictures I saw the other day. Let’s see. （展示一些有关于饥饿的一些非洲难民的图片）。

The fact is that there is enough food in the world for everyone to eat, but still more than 1000 million people go hungry everyday. It is a disturbing problem. So do you have some ideas to help solve the problem, or to help those poor people?

（

学生应该会讲到自己的一些想法，但在课前教师无法预料他们

1

将提及的内容，然而无论学生提及怎样的内容。教师都要将它带到中心话题---to increase the output of rice---袁隆平）

(设计说明：这一部的涉及为了直接使学生进入本堂课的主题，袁隆平的介绍，通过这一步学生应该更能直接地感受到袁的贡献及其伟大，也更能感受袁的简单，不注名誉和无私。) 方案二：A video about struggling against hunger ( a public service announcement) T: What does the video talk about T: What can you learn from it? T: The aim of Day to call for people to pay attention to the importance of the development of the agriculture and rice.

Food is the 1st necessity of people. ( Food is the No.1 need) T：

The fact is that there is enough food in the world for everyone to eat, but still more than 1000 million people go hungry everyday. It is a disturbing problem. So do you have some ideas to help solve the problem, or to help those poor people?

（此步的设计是检查学生是否对人物的介绍或描写有了一定的概念，并检查学生是否能正确自然地使用新学词汇或句型。由于这一次由于特殊的需要，教师先选择上本书中的第二单元，但第一单元的内容就是介绍great persons, 所以此作业也是为第一单元的内容做准备）

注：红色的粗斜体字是教师在课堂上需要用的连接语，通过3次的实践，发觉这些连接语不仅使教师在授课时给自己缓冲的时间，更是使文章内容的梳理时更有逻辑性。

课后反思

（Reconsideration after class）

1.

内容处理方面

①

在讲到袁隆平简单生活以及淡然的生活态度的时候，可以延伸内容从而提升文章处理深度：问学生：你认可袁隆平的生活态度吗？你认为如何做到这样的生活态度？（在如今这样浮躁的社会氛围下，淡然的生活态度很是需要，如何让自己学会淡然，是非常有必要的，或许这一内容可以作为一个突破口来展开，让学生有更进一步的反思以及对袁隆平的敬佩，体会到袁隆平除他的伟大成就外，更有他为人上的高尚。

②

在讲到袁隆平的梦想的时候，可延伸：你的梦想是什么？为了实现这个梦想你有所准备吗？准备了些什么呢？使学生明白生活目标的重要性，以及提醒学生实现目标时努力以及坚持的重要性。（如此更贴近学

生的生活，把课堂内容与学生生活相结合）

③

最后的作业部分，如果单单只给一个题目似乎太过于空泛，学生可能无法准确掌握教师的要求。可给一个范例，描述为人的小短文，或者列出可写的要点。

2．

个人上课素养或习惯

①

有重复句子的习惯，需注意和纠正。

太多的重复，不利于学生注意力的集中，以及语言接受能力的提高
