Ⅰ.Teaching Contents
Module 7 Unit4 Sharing Reading: A Letter Home
II.Analysis of teaching material
本单元的话题是Sharing,本课设计的这篇课文是一个志愿者的一封家书,她在巴布亚新几内亚共和国的一个小山村教书。信中详细地描述了她所在学校的情况和她去一个学生家做客的经历。通过这封信,学生可以了解巴布亚新几内亚共和国各部落的生活状况和风俗习惯,同时能够更好地理解志愿者的工作,培养学生互助合作的精神和社会责任感。
Ⅲ.Analysis of students
1.学生经过高中阶段必修1~选修6的学习,具备了一定的阅读技能,如查找细节信息,抓住段落要点和全文大意等,在阅读速度方面也有了较大的提高,这有助于学生较好地完成这个课时的课文阅读。
2.这个单元的话题是分享、帮助与合作。对于高二的学生而言,他们的价值观人生观已经基本形成,本课通过阅读志愿者的家书,了解一些志愿者的工作,小组讨论“如果你是志愿者你将做什么工作?为什么?”帮助学生认识这个世界,理解互助合作的意义,即在帮助他人的过程中实现自己的人生价值。
3.学生在这节课的学习过程中需要用到预习策略、搜集分析信息策略、归纳整理策略等。

Step I Warming-up and lead in
1. Enjoy a video and a song, then raise Qs
a. What can you see from the video?
(Ss are planting trees/helping the disabled/cleaning the street…)
b. What can you learn from the video ?
(to devote our youthful power to the world.)

a. Do you know what the sign stands for?( T:A Hand? Ss: Help. T:A Heart? Ss: Love. T: A Dove? Ss: Peace. T: A Letter “Y”? Ss: Youth.)
b. What’s the meaning of “a volunteer”?
(The people who are helping others in the video are called volunteers. Volunteers are not paid which means they are not given money, not because they are not worthless but because they are priceless, but because they cannot be measured by money.)
c. What voluntary work can volunteers do? (Ss give their answers according to the pictures.)
[设计说明] 本环节主要是课文导入和热身环节,利用多媒体播放和本课主题相关的直观、生动的图片和音乐,创设轻松和谐的课堂气氛,激发学生兴趣,自然进入本课话题,教师联系生活实际展开教学。
Step II. Pre-reading
1. Look at the title and pictures and try to guess “What’s the author’s work?”
(a teacher and a volunteer)
[设计说明] 通过看幻灯片呈现的题目和图片,让学生猜测本文作者的工作,激发学生探究问题的兴趣,有利于阅读活动的展开。
Step III. While-reading
Task 1 Fast reading
1. Skim and scan the text quickly and try to get its main idea.
(Ss skim and scan the text)
( Then get one student to come to the blackboard to fill in the blanks. Then check the answers.)
2. How many paragraphs in the text? Divide it into 4 parts and match each part with its main idea.
(get one student to do it. Then check the answers.)
Part 1 (Para 1) The beginning of the letter and introduction to the topic
Part2 (Para 2-3) The school and Jo’s work as a teacher
Part 3 (Para 4-8) A visit to a local village
Part 4 (Para 9) The end of the letter
[设计说明] 快速限时阅读把阅读课文作为整体来处理,掌握主旨大意,这一任务过程中为了降低难度设空完成学生比较容易接受。在对课文表层理解的基础上,要求学生根据每段大意把文章进行划分部分。本环节难度不高,学生都能很好地完成任务,不仅训练和提高了学生略读、查读的阅读技能。而且,提高了学生阅读的积极性。
Task 2 Detailed reading
1. After knowing the general idea of the text, lead the Ss the customs and lives of people in Tombe’s village. Listen to the text and pay attention to the pronunciation. Meanwhile, read after the listening and underline the detailed information in the text. (Ss listen to the text and read)
2. Look at the screen and fill in the blanks. And answer some questions.
It’s a(n) ____ school — the classrooms are made from ________ and the roofs from grass. There’s no ______ and we don’ t have any textbooks.

Why did Jo wonder how relevant chemistry was to the boys?
The visit to Tombe’s home

Why did Jo feel it was a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family?
(Ss read the answers)
3. Read aloud to find out some difficulties.
(Ss read the text aloud)
[设计说明] 本环节是对课后练习1和2的创造性改编。练习充分发挥多媒体优势教学。先让学生听录音的同时跟读来完成细节信息填空,这样不仅可以训练学生的听力,而且让学生了解了巴布亚新几内亚独立国部落的生活状况和风俗习惯信息。在此基础生让学生通过朗读,训练学生朗读能力提高语音语调,鼓励学生发现文章中的疑难点并解决。
StepⅣ. Post-reading
1. Solve the important sentences from the text (Ss translate and analyze the sentence)
①I know you are dying to hear all about my life here, so I’ve included some photos which will help you picture the places I talk about.
②Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments.
③The other day I was showing the boys the weekly chemistry experiment when, before I knew it, the mixture was bubbling over everywhere!
④To be honest, I doubt whether I’m making any difference to these boy’s lives at all.
⑤The hut was so dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust.
⑥I loved listening to the family softly talking to each other in their language, even though I could not participate in the conversation.
⑦My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we climbed down the mountain towards home.
⑧It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family.

3. Would you like to work as a volunteer teacher in a poor area? What would you do if you were a volunteer? Why?
(Team work. Ss discuss with their members then show their discussion)
4. Summary: There are many people around us, in our country or even in the world who need different kinds of help. So voluntary work is an important and great cause. Not only can it make people live better but also it can bring happiness to volunteers. So we should form a sense of helping others and take an active part in any kind of voluntary activities from now on and try to make the world more beautiful and harmonious. Just stand up and show me your voluntary gestures, let’s sing together.
[设计说明] 本环节属于读后活动,首先处理课文中的典型的长难句,这也引出了本课的语法项目定语从句。小组讨论“如果你是志愿者你将做什么工作?为什么?”使学生更好的了解了这个单元的主题,帮助他人、分享合作。教师可以进一步了解学生对于志愿者工作和帮助他人的看法,有利于进行德育教育,帮助学生树立正确的价值观。最后大家共同举起志愿者手势,齐唱英文歌曲 Tomorrow Will Be Better, 将课堂活动推向高潮,激发了他们帮助他人、扶贫就困的热情,达到了本课情感价值教育的目标。
StepⅤ.Homework
Find out some attributive sentences from the text and write down them onto the exercises book.
[设计说明] 课后阅读文章继续找出文章中的定语从句,为下节语法课做准备。
教学反思
经过教学实践,我体会到要精心设计一堂阅读课,教师要在课前必须花大量的时间和精力对课的类型、主题、结构等诸因素作充分的考虑和研究。这堂课基本做到了把课堂让给学生,让学生在自主、合作、探究的气氛中愉快度过,既顺利完成教学任务,又促进其情感教育。教学中融入了素质教育,且使学生在趣味中学得了知识,这也是目前提倡的教育教学理念。
我感到多媒体教学用于英语阅读教学有很多好处:首先,课堂的导入是十分重要的,好的导入可以激发学生的学习兴趣,直观、生动的图片、动画使得学生更容易进入学习状态,把学生从枯燥的课堂解放 ,有利于师生的互动, 能更好地实现教师的教学意图。其次,多媒体课的容量大,教师可以把原来花在板书的时间用于指导学生,或设计一些多样的题型。再者,通过听录音,朗读课文,配以在幻灯片呈现问题,让学生有目的性带着问题去听课文,朗读课文,一部分一部分的分析课文,解决问题。在此过程中,不同的任务设置激发了学生的学习兴趣和用英语表达的欲望。
教学内容设计要符合本班学生的实际情况,难度适中,尽量满足不同类型和不同层次学生的要求。在任务的设置中应充分考虑学生是否能够完成。本堂课的细节理解部分难度合适,大多数学生都能顺利完成。
我认为在教学中只有师生处于平等地位,学生的主体性才能得到发挥;只有使课堂交际化,师生才能融合在智力与情感的交际过程中,多给学生展示的机会才能激起学生积极求知的学习欲望。
