【教學背景】
本節(jié)課為外語教學與研究出版社的Join In 的四年級下冊Unit 3 Animals的故事教學。課文講述的是一只可愛的小豬智斗狡猾的大灰狼的故事。本課為故事教學的第一課時,屬繪本故事閱讀教學。
【教學重難點】
教學重點:認讀、理解詞匯clever, guitar, scared, chance, basket, present, then等;理解What a lovely fat pig. Lets give the wolf a chance. Whats in the basket?Here we go. One more song, then you can eat us. Here we go.等句子;理解故事的來龍去脈,解讀故事人物特點,感受小豬的善良與機智。
教學難點:解讀故事中角色的特點,辨析小豬的聰明與大灰狼的狡詐。有感情地朗讀并表演繪本內(nèi)容。
【教學準備】
PPT,VCD
【教學過程】
Step 1: Warming up: a word puzzle.
Invite students to challenge the puzzle gam——guess words beginning with letter “c”.
學生給出以下單詞:
cat,car,cap,cake,cute,carry,close,colour,careful,clothes,cabbage,computer,classroom,crocodile...
教師用激勵性的語言進行小結:You are very clever!(黑板上板書:clever)
【設計意圖】
通過開放式的單詞游戲,教師一邊營造課堂活躍開放的氛圍,一邊激發(fā)學生回顧舊知、積極思考,最后引出本課時的主題詞clever。這一設計既輕松愉悅,又過渡自然,還能激發(fā)學生的學習興趣。
Step 2: Lead-in:dialogues.
T:How do you feel when I say you are clever?
S1: Happy.
T: How do you define “clever”?
PPT出示任務,如圖1。
S1: My mum is clever, because she can do a lot of housework.
S2: Einstein is clever, because he solved difficult physical problems.
S3: Our teacher Miss Sophie is clever, because she knows a lot about music.
T: So, a clever person is someone who can do something special.
PPT出示悟空、八戒的圖片,如圖2。
T: Which one is clever in your eyes?
S1: The monkey.
S2: The monkey is clever.
S3: The pig is clever, too.
T: Mostly, people say smart as a monkey(精怪如猴), stupid as a pig(笨得像頭豬). Is that true? Today we would meet a clever pig.
【設計意圖】
該環(huán)節(jié)旨在提出問題,促使學生調動生活經(jīng)驗和已有知識,批判性地思考“什么是聰明”,并舉例說明理由。這既是一個闡述觀點并論證的表達過程,也為接下來的閱讀和后期討論做了鋪墊。隨后借用學生熟悉的素材,即《西游記》里的人物孫悟空和豬八戒,向他們提問“誰是聰明的”。絕大多數(shù)學生運用的是常規(guī)思維,認為悟空聰明,也有少數(shù)學生表示,八戒也是聰明的。繼而,教師陳述生活中人們的思維定式:大多數(shù)人們都會說“笨得像頭豬”,這是真的嗎?借此發(fā)問,引入故事,讓學生去了解一只聰明的小豬,從而激發(fā)他們的學習興趣。
Step 3:Reading: story time.
The first reading: Read the story by yourselves, circle the words you can not read or understand.
學生默讀,讀完后教師請學生提問不懂的詞句,其他學生和教師給予解答;教師對重難點的詞匯、句子進行提問,與學生探討解答。而后教師用圖片教授新單詞或難點詞匯,出示小豬圖片,并進行提問。
T: How would you describe this pig?
S: Lovely, fat.
T: What a lovely fat pig!
PPT出示籃子、禮物、吉他等圖片,如圖3。
T: What can the pig do?
S: Play the guitar.(彈吉他)
T: What does the wolf say to the sheep? Can you teach me? (你能教我嗎?)
T: And the pig says, lets give the wolf a chance(機會).
The second reading: Watch the story cartoon(VCD) and answer the questions for understanding the plot.
Q1:What animals can you hear from the story?
Q2: The wolf can play the guitar on ________ .
A. Monday B. Saturday
Q3: The wolf wants to __________.
A. eat them B. give them a present
Q4: From which details you can see the pig is clever?
S:小豬以“再彈一曲”為由,利用電吉他擊敗大灰狼。
T趁機講解句子One more song, then you can eat us.&Here; we go.
The third reading: read in pairs and discuss.
Discussion1:Other than the pig, who else is clever in your opinion?
S: The wolf is clever, too.
T引導學生從故事細節(jié)研讀狼的“小聰明”。
細節(jié)1:為了接近小豬,他故意去咨詢學習吉他。
細節(jié)2:經(jīng)過短短幾天,狼就將吉他彈得很不錯了。
細節(jié)3:以禮物為幌子,暗藏刀叉。
T提問:那為何我們的故事不叫“The clever wolf”?同時PPT展示圖4。
Discussion2: How about the other animals characteristics? (其他動物的性格特點如何)
Duck: scared害怕的;Sheep: careful謹慎的;Rabbit:timid膽怯的
【設計意圖】
進入故事閱讀部分,主要分為三個層次進行。第一遍閱讀為獨立默讀,意在讓學生攻克生詞、難詞難句等。第二遍為看視頻聽故事,由教師提出問題,幫助學生理解故事的來龍去脈,理清故事情節(jié)。第三遍為由同伴合作完成的深層閱讀,旨在探討故事中人物的特點,分析人物角色心理,并厘清聰明與狡猾的區(qū)別,明白做人做事要心存善念,并擁有機智勇敢的品質。
Step 4: Performance.
First, read after the tape and figure out the proper way to read emotionally, then act out the story in groups. Try to imitate their feelings and characters with gestures.
PPT出示任務如圖5。
Step 5:Homework.
Read the whole story with emotions fluently. Try to recite.(有感情且流暢地朗讀故事,盡可能地背誦下來)
Copy the story in good handwriting and translate.(字跡工整地抄寫并翻譯這個故事)
【教學反思】
對于學過不少繪本故事的學生來說,在圖片的輔助下他們不難理解故事梗概,教師期望能夠滲透批判性思考,促進學生對故事的深層閱讀,讓學生在學完課文后,不僅是了解了一個故事,更能學會聯(lián)系生活經(jīng)歷,對角色進行分析思考,使新舊知識融會貫通。在課堂設計中,教師通過任務和問題引導以及對話教學——包括師生對話、生生對話、與生活經(jīng)驗的對話、與所學知識的對話、與經(jīng)典故事的對話、與文本的對話等,以培養(yǎng)學生敢于表達觀點并通過舉例對觀點加以證明的能力。
