本課在設(shè)計時參考了新課標(biāo)對表達(dá)性技能在選擇性必修階段的以下要求：

1.識別語篇中的過程順序

2.根據(jù)語境線索推測語篇內(nèi)容

3.根據(jù)上下文推斷語篇中的隱含意義

教學(xué)內(nèi)容分析

作業(yè)

每年六月八日是世界海洋日。請寫一篇文章來講述Clancy第一次捕鯨經(jīng)歷，至少100詞。

教學(xué)反思

本節(jié)課在設(shè)計之時，以故事梗概為基礎(chǔ)，利用“思維導(dǎo)圖”的形式帶領(lǐng)學(xué)生關(guān)注故事中的角色及情節(jié)發(fā)展，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生對文本的理解、分析及歸納概括的能力。由于學(xué)生連貫的口語表達(dá)能力有些薄弱、進(jìn)行口語表達(dá)時容易怯場，因此在口語輸出之前，通過同伴交流等方式，給予學(xué)生充足的準(zhǔn)備時間，并可以激發(fā)每位學(xué)生充分參與課堂。
