新課程 Module 5 Unit 3 Life in the future的教學(xué)設計

【設計理念】

本教學(xué)設計在新課程教學(xué)理念的指導下，力求在培養學(xué)生的語(yǔ)言知識、知識技能、情感態(tài)度、學(xué)習策略和文化意識等素養的基礎上發(fā)展學(xué)生綜合運用語(yǔ)言的能力，使學(xué)生通過(guò)觀(guān)察、體驗、探究等主動(dòng)學(xué)習的方法優(yōu)化英語(yǔ)學(xué)習方法，充分發(fā)揮自己的學(xué)習潛能，形成有效的學(xué)習策略。

1. 開(kāi)展學(xué)生活動(dòng)，發(fā)揮主體作用

新課程強調要充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生在教學(xué)過(guò)程中的主體作用。本課設計遵循以學(xué)生為主體，教師為主導這一教學(xué)原則，創(chuàng )設角色扮演情景、激烈討論提出建議，讓學(xué)生最大限度地參與教學(xué)過(guò)程，尊重學(xué)生的主體地位，充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生在學(xué)習過(guò)程中的主動(dòng)性、積極性、創(chuàng )造性，使課堂充滿(mǎn)活力。

2. 實(shí)施情景教學(xué)，統合三維目標

本課設計從教學(xué)需要出發(fā)，創(chuàng )設情景，進(jìn)行情景設問(wèn)、討論，激起學(xué)生的情感體驗，激活學(xué)生思維，幫助學(xué)生迅速、正確地理解和接受知識，并在學(xué)習過(guò)程中培養其積極進(jìn)取的科學(xué)的人生觀(guān)及價(jià)值觀(guān)，較好地落實(shí)了三維目標。而三維目標是相輔相成、相互滲透的，所以在情景教學(xué)的過(guò)程中，知識的落實(shí)、能力的培養、情感態(tài)度價(jià)值觀(guān)的滲透交融在一起，實(shí)現了三維目標的和諧與統一。

3. 轉變學(xué)習方式，增強教學(xué)效果

新課程要求提倡自主、合作、探究的學(xué)習方式，發(fā)揮學(xué)生的主體性、能動(dòng)性和獨立性，本課設計通過(guò)自學(xué)課本，小組討論，綜合分析，角色扮演等活動(dòng)， 為學(xué)生自主學(xué)習、合作學(xué)習、探究學(xué)習提供了空間，使學(xué)生體驗了自主之樂(lè )，合作之趣，探究之悅，促進(jìn)了學(xué)生知識的構建與運用，能力的培養和提高，情感體驗和態(tài)度、價(jià)值觀(guān)的形成，增強了教學(xué)效果。

4. 運用問(wèn)題教學(xué)，啟發(fā)學(xué)生思維

本課設計按照誘思探究理論要求，遵循學(xué)生的認知規律，引導學(xué)生去發(fā)現問(wèn)題、分析問(wèn)題和解決問(wèn)題，從而掌握知識，形成能力，培養品質(zhì)。通過(guò)對文章分析的由淺入深，由易到難，循序漸進(jìn)，引導學(xué)生結合歷史現狀和教材信息，發(fā)揮想象，活化語(yǔ)言，從而達到綜合運用英語(yǔ)進(jìn)行交際的目的。有利于培養學(xué)生的思維能力，激發(fā)學(xué)生的創(chuàng )新精神。

本教學(xué)設計貫穿了新的教學(xué)理念，體現了課程改革的鮮明特色，在教學(xué)內容的重新調整、教材的合理處理、教學(xué)思路的設計等方面作了嘗試性的突破與創(chuàng )新，具有較強的實(shí)踐性和操作性。

【教材分析】

本單元教學(xué)內容為人教版新課標Module 5 Unit 3 Life in the future。本單元的中心話(huà)題是“未來(lái)生活”，教材內容為學(xué)生提供了想象的空間，旨在培養學(xué)生預測未來(lái)的能力，通過(guò)對現實(shí)生活與未來(lái)生活的對比，喚醒學(xué)生把握現在，珍惜現在，愛(ài)護環(huán)境，保護自然的意識。

第一篇Reading文章主要講述主人公Li Qiang在時(shí)空旅行前、時(shí)空旅行中及時(shí)空旅行后的所見(jiàn)所想。第二篇則主要記敘了Li Qiang在太空站認識的兩個(gè)非常特別的太空生物，并將兩個(gè)生物的特征進(jìn)行了對比。兩篇閱讀文章都是科幻型閱讀，旨在喚起學(xué)生的想象力，培養學(xué)生對未來(lái)生活的預測。語(yǔ)法部分則延續了課文內容，通過(guò)作者對未來(lái)生活態(tài)度的討論引出過(guò)去分詞做狀語(yǔ)及定語(yǔ)的用法，并以短文填空的形式來(lái)鞏固文章生詞的用法。聽(tīng)力部分則描繪了一個(gè)擁有高新科技的wonderland,表明了人類(lèi)對美好生活的追求與幻想，并最終通過(guò)口語(yǔ)情景設置鍛煉學(xué)生綜合運用英語(yǔ)的能力與技巧，從而對未來(lái)生活進(jìn)行更細致的預測。

考慮到各部分內容的內在聯(lián)系，筆者結合教學(xué)實(shí)際將同一話(huà)題不同內容與形式的材料進(jìn)行了重組，對教材內容、編排順序等進(jìn)行了調整、刪減和補充，將整個(gè)單元設計成四個(gè)課時(shí)，豐富了教學(xué)內容和語(yǔ)言活動(dòng)形式。

Step 1 Greetings and Lead-in

1．The teacher can start with daily greetings and try to lead in some words in this unit.

Q1: Where do you come from? Do you live in the downtown or in the countryside?

Do you live in a comfortable surrounding?

Is it a suitable location for people to live in?

4．Q3: What will the future means of transportation be like? (Time travel)

Well, today we are going to learn a text about time travel.

【設計說(shuō)明】

由日常問(wèn)候開(kāi)啟話(huà)題，通過(guò)提問(wèn)學(xué)生家鄉情況導入城鎮生活，引出不同的建筑材料及交通工具中的生詞；然后總結交通工具的發(fā)展歷史，預測未來(lái)的交通方式，引出跨時(shí)空旅行，從而進(jìn)入閱讀文章的處理與學(xué)習。（由于考慮到Warming-up中的Transport與Houses, Villages,Towns, 以及Location of settlement的聯(lián)系不大，可單獨提出，因此將Transport的發(fā)展變化應用于課文的導入中，這樣比較科學(xué)自然。）

Step 2 Skimming

1．The teacher will ask the students to predict the future life in various aspects as to inspire their imagination and predicting ability.

Q1：What will the future life be like?

2．The students are given several minutes to read through the text and try to find out the changes mentioned in the text.

time travel – transport – air quality – religion – clothing – eating – houses – towns

3．The teacher can ask the students to carry out a discussion about the changes.

Q3: Which changes are good and which are bad?

【設計說(shuō)明】

猜測是培養學(xué)生閱讀能力的方法之一，因此筆者首先提出問(wèn)題引發(fā)學(xué)生思考，對未來(lái)生活的各個(gè)方面進(jìn)行預測。其次通過(guò)快速閱讀的方式，了解文章梗概，把握文章線(xiàn)索，找出文中對未來(lái)生活變化的描寫(xiě)，培養學(xué)生快速閱讀的技巧與能力，并對未來(lái)生活變化的好壞進(jìn)行小組討論，培養集體協(xié)作精神。（由于Comprehending中關(guān)于未來(lái)生活變化好壞的討論難度不大，考慮到整個(gè)設計的連貫性，將其提至快速閱讀中，設置成小討論，將學(xué)生說(shuō)與讀的能力更好地結合。）

Step 3 Reading for details

1．Before the journey

Q4: What did Li Qiang suffer from?

Q5: How did Li Qiang feel? What makes him feel better?

Q6: Where did they arrive?

【設計說(shuō)明】

通過(guò)幾個(gè)特殊疑問(wèn)詞，提出以下問(wèn)題，處理文章第一段。因本篇課文是一篇敘事故事，而記敘文時(shí)一般都包括事件發(fā)生的人物、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、事件、原因等關(guān)鍵要素，因此讓學(xué)生通過(guò)閱讀尋找上述要素，不僅讓學(xué)生的閱讀具有目的性，而且降低了閱讀的難度。

2．During the journey

1) In the capsule:

Climb through the round opening -- comfortable seats -- calming drink -- lay relaxd -- we rose slowly from the ground -- complete the journey -- 1000 years later -- ?

2. “A large market”

Q4: What were people doing there?

Q5: What happened to Li Qiang?

3. A large building

Q6: What is a “time lag” flashback?

【設計說(shuō)明】

按事件發(fā)生的先后順序及地點(diǎn)轉換順序，處理文章細節，培養學(xué)生抓住文章線(xiàn)索來(lái)處理課文的能力。然后根據地點(diǎn)轉移，自然地將“太空倉內”轉向“太空倉外”，按照作者在太空倉外所處的三個(gè)不同地點(diǎn)Hovering carriage, a large market, a large building來(lái)處理文章第三段。

3．After the journey

Q1: How did the author feel after visiting the special house?

Exhausted, I slid into bed and fell fast asleep.

【設計說(shuō)明】

通過(guò)精讀課文，了解文章細致內容，按照“時(shí)空旅行前，時(shí)空旅行中及時(shí)空旅行后”的時(shí)間線(xiàn)索來(lái)處理文章細節�！皶r(shí)空旅行中”又可按照“在太空倉內與在太空倉外”分析文章信息。在此過(guò)程中鍛煉學(xué)生精讀的閱讀技巧，處理文章生詞，并適當地引入幾個(gè)過(guò)去分詞做狀語(yǔ)及定語(yǔ)的句子，為語(yǔ)法部分的講解作個(gè)鋪墊。

3．A telephone interview with Li Qiang

Ask the students to discuss in group of six and raise as many questions to Li Qiang as possible. Some questiones about the problems in future life are recommended.

【設計說(shuō)明】

首先通過(guò)對文章故事情節的正常排序回顧文章梗概；其次通過(guò)Warming-up中過(guò)去、現在的房子、城鎮及居住環(huán)境的比較來(lái)預測未來(lái)方的發(fā)展與變化；最后設置情景，進(jìn)行角色扮演，模擬電話(huà)采訪(fǎng)Li Qiang回顧整篇課文，引出本節課的作業(yè)與任務(wù)。全面地鍛煉學(xué)生的總結概括能力以及團體協(xié)作的討論能力。

【設計說(shuō)明】

通過(guò)角色扮演以及情景設置中引出未來(lái)生活中將會(huì )存在的問(wèn)題，以此導出現在生活中存在的問(wèn)題，由此自然地引出閱讀課的任務(wù)----發(fā)明設計，以此激發(fā)學(xué)生的發(fā)明創(chuàng )造能力，喚醒學(xué)生保護自然、愛(ài)護環(huán)境的意識，學(xué)習中滲透道德教育，一舉兩得。

過(guò)去分詞作狀語(yǔ)可以表示時(shí)間、條件、原因、讓步、方式或伴隨，有時(shí)在其前還可以帶上連詞，以示明確。

1． 作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。 Once discovered, the enemies were completely wiped out.

e.g. Having been told many times, he can’t still remember it.

2). 過(guò)去分詞的邏輯主語(yǔ)要跟主句的主語(yǔ)一致,否則不能用過(guò)去分詞作狀語(yǔ),應用狀語(yǔ)從句。

（誤）Checked carefully, some spelling mistakes can be avoided.

（正）If the composition is checked carefully, some spelling mistakes can be avoided.

過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)時(shí)，該分詞及修飾成分相當一句定語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)從句，變?yōu)槎ㄕZ(yǔ)從句或狀語(yǔ)從句中，該從句應該具備兩個(gè)特征：1）從句的主語(yǔ)和主句中的先行詞一致；2）謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞為被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)形式。
