【教材分析】
本單元屬于本冊書中第二主題 The world around us. 的內(nèi)容,旨在通過語言學(xué)習(xí),使學(xué)生了解周圍世界。本單元的設(shè)計在學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容上,主要通過對身體的五種感官的研究讓學(xué)生更加了解這五種器官的作用,以及它們是如何工作的。在語言結(jié)構(gòu)的學(xué)習(xí)上,學(xué)習(xí)掌握五種感官動詞的使用方法。
【學(xué)情分析】
本課的教學(xué)對象是初中八年級學(xué)生,學(xué)生的基礎(chǔ)知識和口語表達能力比較好,一部分學(xué)生喜歡表達自己的觀點,能夠積極參與到英語教學(xué)的各個環(huán)節(jié)中來。本課內(nèi)容與學(xué)生的生活十分貼近,因此學(xué)生應(yīng)該很感興趣。
【設(shè)計思路】
1. 教學(xué)目標(biāo)
(1)知識目標(biāo):了解身體的五種感官的作用,利用看、聽、聞、嘗、摸五種感官來體會周圍的世界。
(2)能力目標(biāo): 能通過區(qū)別,懂得感官動詞、學(xué)習(xí)閱讀的方法。
(3)情感目標(biāo): 能運用感官動詞告訴別人自己的感知,能正確地評價自我和他人的學(xué)習(xí)效果。
2. 教學(xué)重點難點
教學(xué)重點:通過任務(wù)型教學(xué)方法使學(xué)生理解文章內(nèi)容,訓(xùn)練聽說讀寫能力及閱讀技巧。
教學(xué)難點:了解感官動詞的使用方法,完成一篇五種感官體會的短文。
3. 教學(xué)方法
任務(wù)型教學(xué)方法與形成性評價相結(jié)合。
4. 教學(xué)手段及媒體
電子白板。
【教學(xué)過程】
Step I. ?Warm-up
教師活動:Show the students some pictures. For example, a girl holding a cake, a boy with an earphone. Let them describe the pictures.
學(xué)生活動: Describe the pictures.
S1:She is using her tongue to taste the cake.
S2:He is using his ears to listen to music.
【設(shè)計意圖: 通過描述圖片,讓學(xué)生練習(xí)使用taste, smell, listen, see, feel,并能和五官進行搭配使用,引入新課所學(xué)內(nèi)容?!?/p>
Step II. ?Brainstorm
教師活動:Show the students some pictures of food. Ask some questions like:
T: What is a food that tastes sour?
學(xué)生活動: Discuss in groups and finish the chart.
【設(shè)計意圖: 利用頭腦風(fēng)暴,設(shè)計與真實生活相聯(lián)系的情景,使學(xué)生有話可說,有詞可用。能激發(fā)他們學(xué)習(xí)本課的興趣。通過小組合作完成頭腦風(fēng)暴圖表,在合作中相互分享詞匯,用舊知引出新知。】
StepIII. ?Reading
I. Whole passage reading
教師活動:Before listening, have the students look at the pictures of babies and guess what the story will be about.
T: Look at the two babies in the pictures. Can you guess what senses they are using?
T: Read the whole passage in pairs and give your partner the reading grade.
學(xué)生活動:
S: In the first picture, the baby is using his sense of hearing. The second baby is using his sense of taste. I guess the watermelon tastes sweet and watery.
S: The reading is about our five senses.
【設(shè)計意圖: 通過五步閱讀法使學(xué)生掌握文章內(nèi)容:第一步:整體閱讀,聽全文并說出文章主要內(nèi)容,使學(xué)生對文章有總體印象。利用學(xué)生英語朗讀能力互評表,學(xué)生之間對朗讀能力進行評價,使學(xué)生充分了解自己在朗讀方面的水平,以便進行相應(yīng)改進。】
II. Paragraph reading
教師活動:Ask the students to read the passage paragraph by paragraph and tell the main idea of each paragraph.
學(xué)生活動:
Discuss the main idea of each paragraph.
1. We learn about the world through five senses.
2. Noses and tongues do different things.
3. How our noses work.
4. How our tongues work.
5. How noses and tongues work together.endprint
【設(shè)計意圖: 第二步:段落分析,分段閱讀,并找出每段的段落大意。歸納段意有助于學(xué)生掌握文章的內(nèi)容,并且是必須掌握的閱讀技巧?!?/p>
III. Skimming
教師活動:
Find the answers to the questions after reading A. The teacher can ask more questions.
T: How many senses do we have?
Why are our noses “smart”?
Where can you find the fifth taste?
Why do foods have different flavors?
Do our noses and tongues do the same thing?
學(xué)生活動:
Skim the passage and find the answers.
S1: We have five senses.
S2: Because they smell many different things.
S3: We can find the fifth taste in meat.
S4: Because we use our noses and tongues at the same time.
S5: Our noses and tongues dont do the same thing.
【設(shè)計意圖: 第三步:略讀法,按照問題在原文中找出正確答案,學(xué)生了解段意后就可通過略讀法找到相應(yīng)位置。這也是學(xué)生閱讀時必會的方法?!?/p>
IV. Scanning
教師活動:
Ask the student to read the passage again and fill in the form.
Let the student to check T for true or F for false.
1. If we close our eyes and smell something, its not easy to tell what it is.
2. Our tongues are smarter than our noses.
3. We can taste five different flavors.
4. We can taste different flavors of candies using our noses and tongues.
學(xué)生活動:
Read the passage carefully and find the details to fill in the chart.
S1: No.1 is F. Because our noses are very smart.
S2: No.2 is F. Because our tongues are not as smart as our noses.
S3: No.3 is T.
S4: No.4 is T.
【設(shè)計意圖: 第四步:詳讀法,這個環(huán)節(jié)給學(xué)生設(shè)置了兩個任務(wù)。任務(wù)一:給學(xué)生一個關(guān)于文中細節(jié)的表格,訓(xùn)練學(xué)生掌握文中細節(jié)的能力。任務(wù)二:判斷正誤,考查學(xué)生對課文內(nèi)容的理解力?!?/p>
V. Knowledge learning
教師活動:
Teach some words,phrases and sentences.
1. He hears a song. It sounds beautiful.
感官動詞 feel,sound,look,smell,taste + adj.
eg: He eats food. It tastes good.
He touches a pillow. It feels soft.
2. A persons tongue is not as smart as his nose.
not as... as = not so... as = less ...than
eg: My little brother is not as tall as I.
學(xué)生活動:
Grasp some words,phrases and sentences and try to use them to make sentences.
第五步:語句點評。講解一些文中關(guān)鍵詞的運用,積累優(yōu)美語句。
StepIV. ?Consolidation
After reading C is a writing activity.
教師活動:
Ask the students to write their own thoughts.
What does a baby do with different parts of his body?
What does he learn?
學(xué)生活動:endprint
Read the questions together and see what they have to write about.
S1: A baby sees his parents. They look big.
S2: A baby hears a song. It sounds beautiful.
S3: A baby touches a pillow. It feels soft.
……
【設(shè)計意圖: 通過問題式寫作,訓(xùn)練學(xué)生寫的能力,在寫的過程中掌握感官動詞的正確使用方法?!?/p>
StepV. ?Practice
教師活動:
Pair up the students and have them take turns telling each other their answers and make a dialogue.
Play the speaking about five sense activity. Have the students recall the sentences from Activity C. Students are not allowed to read, so they have to remember what a child can do with five body parts and tell what he senses through them.
學(xué)生活動:
Ask their partner about their answers and then make a dialogue in pairs.
Practice the dialogue in pairs.
S1: What does a baby do with his eyes?
S2: He sees his parents. They look big.
S1: What does a baby do with his ears?
S2: He hears a song. It sounds beautiful.
……
【設(shè)計意圖: 在學(xué)生已經(jīng)得到足夠的信息量的基礎(chǔ)上,讓學(xué)生編對話有利于進一步運用所學(xué)知識。會輸出信息就達到了學(xué)習(xí)的目的?!?/p>
StepVI. ?Homework
Write a passage with the title Our Five Senses.讓學(xué)生把所學(xué)的語言形成文字,落到書面,既加深對文章的理解又達到了訓(xùn)練寫作的目的。
【教學(xué)反思】
通過本節(jié)課的教學(xué)活動,深刻地體會到形成性評價在英語教學(xué)過程中的魅力。形成性評價調(diào)動了學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)熱情,挖掘了學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)潛力,發(fā)展了學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí)的能力,促進了學(xué)生的持續(xù)發(fā)展,并且把這種學(xué)習(xí)熱情貫穿于英語課內(nèi)外,讓學(xué)生真正快樂地學(xué)習(xí)英語,學(xué)好英語。也就是說教師改變了古老、機械的教學(xué)模式和考試一紙定音的終結(jié)性評價方式,取而代之的是豐富多彩的課內(nèi)外活動和注重學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)過程中取得點滴進步的各種評價活動。以往的評價只把學(xué)生作為被動的接受者,忽視學(xué)生在評價中所占的主體地位;忽視學(xué)生的自我評價和相互評價;以往的評價只考查學(xué)生在某一階段獲得知識的多少,忽視對學(xué)習(xí)過程的評價,忽視對學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)態(tài)度、學(xué)習(xí)興趣、學(xué)習(xí)策略、參與意識、合作精神等的考查,忽視對學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)問題、解決問題能力的培養(yǎng),忽視評價為學(xué)生成長和發(fā)展服務(wù)的功能。這樣的評價是以學(xué)科為出發(fā)點,完全忽視了學(xué)生作為不同的個體的特殊性,忽視了學(xué)生在發(fā)展水平上的個體差異,不符合現(xiàn)在素質(zhì)教育的“以人為本”的教育宗旨。
而本課的形成性評價通過多種形式對學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)進展情況進行了評價。它是一種在開放的、寬松的、友好的、非正式的環(huán)境中進行的低焦慮性、可持續(xù)性評價,它關(guān)注的是學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)過程,評價的不僅僅是知識、技能等方面,還包括學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣、學(xué)習(xí)策略、學(xué)習(xí)態(tài)度、參與意識、合作精神、文化意識等不易量化的方面。向師生提供了學(xué)習(xí)狀態(tài)進程的反饋信息,從而使教學(xué)活動得到了及時的調(diào)節(jié)和改進,使教學(xué)效果得到及時的強化和矯正。
