所属教材目录

冀教版（新）九年级上册Unit4 Enjoying Literature 第三课

新冀教版九年级英语教材不分上下册，合为了一本，供学生全学年使用。全书共十个单元，学生在本单元Unit4学习，体验和欣赏一些诗歌、寓言、童话故事等文学作品，让学生徜徉在文学的殿堂。Lesson 21：The Fable of the

Woodcutter 是Unit4 里教材分析

的第三课，是一则寓言—樵夫的寓言，讲了很久以前，一个樵夫在湖边砍柴时，把斧子掉到水里，无奈无助时，一个精灵出现了，聪明的精灵为了试探他，跳进水里先后捞上来了一把金斧子和一把银斧子，但樵夫都说不是他的，他的诚实感动了精灵，精灵帮他捞上来他的旧斧子后，把另外两把斧子作为礼物送给了他的故事。学习樵夫的诚实品质，通过学习让学生试着用学到的词汇讲出故事的梗概，并能领悟到这则寓言的寓意。

学生通过预习课文，完成学案，对新课有了初步的感知，建立了对新知的期待。教师通过学生已知的寓言故事引入新课，提高了学生的学习兴趣。随着老师的逐步引导，学生渐渐去领悟寓言的内容，细节和寓意。最后试着谈论对“诚实”这一品质的看法及观点。

woodcutter 教学反思

本课较好地完成了教学目标，并采用了常用的阅读技巧：先整体阅读，整体理解，再挖掘具体信

息。并注重以学生为主体，教师为主导的学习方式和任务型的教学方式。学生让老师出乎意料地地方在Step7 环节，学生能很快地从文中找到相关句子来描述the woodcutter 和

the spirit 。学生通过本课的学习，完成了从感知，体验，理解到掌握新知的学习过程，效果较好。不足的地方是部分学生的学习习惯不是很好，不能很好的完成预习环节的学案。以后老师还需加强这方面的督促，以保障良好的学习效果。在课堂上，学生没有提出出乎意料的问题，学生综合运用语言的能力还有待提高，可能有问题，但用英语不知怎样表达，所以就不好意思问。但以后老师多留心观察学生，给他们提问的机会：Do you have any questions? 并对提问的学生多鼓励。

若能重新上这节课的话，我会设计一个练习环节：让学生给这个寓言故事配音，以训练他们用英语讲故事的能力。通过学生的作业，发现学生对本课知识掌握的较好，主要是因为对语言知识点儿环节的学习，老师采用了新方式：学生们自己拿着所要点拨讲解的知识点儿和练习。这样便于学、练结合，提高学习效果。

评课意见有这些：1. 能够用ppt. 上课，效果好。2. 教师用英语来组织教学较好。3. 教学环节的设计合理，层次清晰。

4. 教师为主导，学生为主体的学习，能体现自主，探究，合作的学习模式较好。

不足: 5. 学生展示的机会较少,发言的积极性和主动性不高。

我今后还需设法提高学生积极参与的热情，形成师生合一的良好教学氛围。
