Reading(1)：The search for happiness教学设计一等奖

牛津高中英语Module 6 unit 2教学设计

Welcome to the unit & Reading 单元：

Module 6 unit 2 What is happiness to you? 板块：

Welcome to the unit & Reading—The search for happiness

Thoughts on the design:

本节课对Welcome to the unit & Reading进行了整合，是一堂以说、读、练为主的阅读教学课。利用welcome to the unit 中的话题导入，让学生有充足的机会谈论对快乐的理解，激发他们对本课主题的兴趣，从而为阅读做好准备。在导入的过程中，精心创设层层递进的问题，激励学生参与课堂，并且，针对学生惯有的对快乐的误解，引导他们区分FUN与HAPPINESS，使他们明白FUN不是真正意义上的HAPPINESS。然后，再阅读一篇有关快乐的电视访谈，通过阅读以及阅读后的一系列活动以此来升华他们对快乐的理解。同时，掌握对访谈类文章的阅读策略。在细读部分，设计了找小标题，训练学生找段落的中心，为今后练习新题型7选5打下基础；在听力部分，设计了阅读填空题，并配有语言点讲解，让语法运用于实践。填空题的设计从内容上围绕桑兰在事故前后对Happiness的不同看法，与此同时，对课文内容进行了总结概括。最后以一些与快乐相关的习语来结束本堂课，让学生树立正确的人生观，从而达到德育渗透的目的。
