学情预设:打破传统的按顺序由学生回答问题的模式,利用现代化的教学手段,采用选号码的形式,每个号码超连接一个问题,答对得一分。学生普遍都有“喜新厌旧”的心理,这一活动立刻就会激发学生的学习兴趣,激活学生固有的知识,为下面的活动开了个好头。
设计意图: 课文warming up中的问题要学生回答有一定的难度,如果用此活动来激活课堂,会事与愿违。因此,我一方面把问题式改为选择题式,另一方面,在保留原有的部分基本问题外,还加入一些学生感兴趣的问题,并制作成图文并茂的课件。在多种感官的刺激下,充分调动起学生学习的积极性。
Activity 2: Pre-reading
Look at the title and the pictures and predict the content(内容).
It is an ________about __________ between _________ and ________
( Give the students some instructions about Pausanias and Lily, and how to skim to find the specific information in an interview.)
学情预设:学生较少接触虚拟采访的文体,因此,既充满期待,又有畏难情绪。教师对文章人物和背景知识的简单介绍,以及阅读这类文章的技巧指导就显得尤为重要。
设计意图:predict既是学生阅读的技巧之一,也是调动学生思维、注意力、求知欲的捷径。让学生在预设、搜索、求证、否定等的过程中,加深对文章的理解。
Step 2. Reading
Activity 3: Fast- reading
The interview can be divided into two parts. Get the main idea of each part.
Part 1 (beginning –Line_35) ________________________________
Part 2 (Line36- the end) ________________________________
(It is an interview between Pausanias and Lily, from which we can learn about the similarities and differences about the ancient Olympic Games and the modern Olympic Games.)
学情预设:采访文章不同于其它文体的文章,它的信息点较分散,学生看完后,往往很难把握住细节。这时候,如果问一些深层次理解的问题,学生的自信心就会受到打击,接下去课堂可能就会陷入沉闷,刚刚培养起的学习热情就会立刻荡然无存。
设计意图: 培养学生对文章整体的理解和中心的把握。从近几年的高考阅读理解题目的设置中不难看出,它要求学生不仅能够完成浅层理解题,更要能够在快速阅读后透彻理解全文并归纳全文提供的信息,从而进行正确的逻辑推理甚至对文中未提及的情况进行推理想象。这就要求学生必须在平时的阅读学习中训练对文章整体的理解和中心大意的概括,培养和提高整体理解的阅读能力。
Activity 4: Careful- reading
I.Read the text carefully and write down the key words according to the reading passage.
Ancient modern
When
How many sets
How often
Events
Who can take part in
Prize
Spirit/motto
学情预设:采访文章信息点较分散,学生较难把握。
设计意图:通过两个人物之间的对话,让学生把它们分成两类,并写下一些关键词。一方面,有利于理清线索;另一方面,有助于下一个活动“古今奥运会的异同对比”的开展。
II. Read the text carefully and fill in the form.
Differences:
Items Modern Ancient
Types
Place
Prize
Events
Athletes
Any Olympic village
Similarities:
Ø Both are held every ____________________.
Ø Both are held not for money but for _________.
Ø ________are allowed to take part in both in ancient and modern Olympics.
Ø The mottos are the same. They are: _________________________________.
Ø Some events are the same, such as__________________________________ .
学情预设:学生在梳理好Pausanias和 Lily的对话要点之后,对于古今奥运会的异同对比还未形成完整的、清晰的脉络。
设计意图:这个环节的设置对于学生知识的储备和接下去能力的提升起了至关重要的作用。课标中也提到:教师要指导学生由被动接受的学习转变为运用观察、发现、推测、理解、记忆、对比、分析、联想、归纳、内化等策略进行学习。
III. Tell the following sentences “ T” or “F”.
1.In the early Olympic Games, only men were allowed to compete and watch the Games.
2.The motto of the Olympic Games is “Faster, Higher, Further”. ( )
3. The olive wreath has been replaced by money. ( )
4. The Olympics were not always held in Greece 2000 years ago. ( )
5. At first, Pausanias thinks people may be competing for money in the modern Olympic Games. ( )
6. We feel proud because we have finally got the chance to hold the 2008 Olympic Games. ( )
IV. Fill in the blanks in the summary of the interview
The Olympic Games are the biggest sports meeting in the world, which include two kinds, the ________and the ______ Olympics. Both of them are _____ every _____ ____. All countries can take part if their athletes reached the ________ to the games. Women are not only _______ to join in but playing a very _________ role. A ______ ______ is built for the competitors to live in, a ________ for competitions, a large swimming pool, a __________ as well as seats for those who watch the games. It’s a great _____ to host the Olympic Games. The Olivewreath has been ________ by medals. But it’s still about being able to run ______, jump ______ and throw _______.
学情预设: 以上“True”and“false”的练习和根据课文内容填空这两项活动,在学生了解课文内容和理清线索后进行,符合学生的认知规律,是学生力所能及的任务。
设计意图:有助于检验学生对文章细节的了解,以及对文章整体的把握,起到进一步巩固本堂课所学知识的作用。
Step 3 Post-reading
Activity 5: Role –play---- an interview
Work in pairs. One is a reporter from CCTV 5, the other is an athlete who has taken part in the 29th Olympic Games.
(Tips: The interviewer could start an interview by introducing himself/herself, or talk about something that the interviewee is interested in or familiar with. At the end of an interview, remember to thank the interviewee. )
Material: the 2008 Olympic Games; the events, the achievement and his feelings.
Activity 6: Discussion
(in the text, Pausanias: That sounds very expensive?) Does anyone want to host the Olympic Games? Do you think it’s a good idea for a city to host the Olympic Games? Why? Discuss about it with the help of mind map of Ex.3 on P11.
学情预设: 学生由于受到定势思维的束缚、英语词汇量的限制、知识面的局限等方面的影响,讨论和采访活动可能会出现谈的不深入,展不开的情况,这时候,教师会展示北京奥运会学生熟悉的一些情景和运动员,为对话练习提供素材,并进行适当的引导和鼓励,以及学生之间的合作学习十分重要。
设计意图:知识的积累是为了向能力转化。把学生分组,让学生在个人参与、同伴互导、互相观察的过程中,不断地自我提升。建构主义者认为由于经验背景的差异,学生对问题的理解常常各异,学生个体之间的差异是一种宝贵的资源。开展师生、生生互动,为学生提供用英语交流的机会,培养学生与人合作交流的能力。
Step 5 Homework:
1.Preview the new words in the text and finish Ex.&2 on P12 of Students’ Book.
2. Sentence practice : Write down the differences between the ancient and modern Olympic Games in sentence
3.From the interview we know many things about Olympic Games. After class you can surf the Internet to find more about t Olympic Games and make a poster according to Page 13.
学情预设: 随着电脑的普及,网络也成为人们生活的一部分,英语作业也可以与网络结合起来。学生能在网络上收集整理英语知识,动手制作海报,这大大激发了学生的学习热情,提高了学生的动脑、动手能力。
设计意图:作业是整个施教工作中不可缺少的一部分,是上课的延续,检查教师与学生之间教与学的纽带;也是帮助学生熟悉和掌握基础知识,基本技能和巩固已学知识的有效手段之一。
