1.說教材《記念劉和珍君》是魯迅先生用飽醮著熱淚,用悲憤的筆調(diào)寫下的一篇感人至深的散文,既有對愛國青年沉痛的悼念,又有對反動派憤怒的控訴,也有對覺醒的國民的吶喊。《記念劉和珍君》是高中語文必修1第三單元第一課的講讀課文。文中描摹人物的音容笑貌,敘述人物的行為事跡,都融入了作者真摯的情感和深刻的感悟。對學生明辨是非,領(lǐng)悟時代精神和人生意義,有著重要的作用。新課標強調(diào)了要全面提升高中學生的語文素養(yǎng),初步形成正確的世界觀、人生觀、價值觀,并學會收集、判斷、處理信息,具有人文素養(yǎng)、創(chuàng)新精神與實踐能力。同時,《記念劉和珍君》感情真摯,感悟深刻,具有典型人文性。結(jié)合本單元教學目標,確立教學目標如下。
4、學習全詞:(1)背景介紹,讓學生看課文中的年代,然后讓學生回憶1925年的毛澤東的情況,老師適當提示,讓學生了解其背景。(出示幻燈片)(2)學生自由朗讀,結(jié)合注釋和背景理解詩詞。(3)師生共同理解全詞①先讓學生齊讀前三句,思考正確的語序,并用正常的語序解釋。②品味第三到第十句,這里是教學的一個重點,要讓學生先讀,再理解,在此基礎(chǔ)上訓練學生的想象能力。③分析上闕中的最后三句。④小結(jié)上闕。提出了一個問題“誰主沉浮”讓學生在文中找內(nèi)容回答,然后轉(zhuǎn)入下闕內(nèi)容的分析。⑤分析下闕內(nèi)容,回答“誰主沉浮”的問題,突出本文主旨5、描繪詩詞形象:學生用自己的語言把上闕的內(nèi)容生動地描繪出來。6、欣賞學生優(yōu)秀作品。(根據(jù)時間具體而定,也可以作為課后作業(yè))
3、拓展延伸,啟迪心智,創(chuàng)設(shè)課堂訓練營。三、說學法1、紙上得來終覺淺,圈點、勾畫、批注法,學好文言基本功。2、自主合作加探究,眼耳口腦手并用,破疑解難在其中。四、說課時安排《鴻門宴》篇幅較長,文言知識較豐富,文章內(nèi)涵豐厚,因此我設(shè)計用五課時教學本文。第一課時:了解作家作品,積累文言知識,感受作者隱忍發(fā)憤的著書精神(初讀)第二課時:理清故事情節(jié),概括人物形象,學習客觀地評論歷史人物,(熟讀)第三課時:進一步梳理文言知識,精讀課文,要求讀透。(精讀)第四課時:通過對人物、事件的賞析,加深學生對人物的理解,鍛煉學生的開放性思維,由學生自主認識到人物的性格,悲劇的原因等問題。(賞讀)第五課時:補充課本教學內(nèi)容:同學生一起閱讀古今關(guān)于劉邦項羽的一些篇章:讓學生投入進來,把握自己眼中的項羽。(展讀)在文言文學習的過程中,采取五步學習法:初讀-熟讀-精讀-賞讀-展讀(板書)
學法指導:高一學生對文言文閱讀已具備了一些基礎(chǔ)知識和積累,但對如何學習文言文,還是一個新課題,因此教師應(yīng)引導學生掌握學習方法,運用已有的知識框架同化新信息,建立新的智能,逐步走向獨立學習的境界。一、引導學生利用課文注釋,使用工具書自己翻譯,必要時教師進行點撥、解難,培養(yǎng)自學能力。二、告訴學生翻譯文言文要遵循的原則。三、調(diào)動學生思考、討論、交流的積極性,教師適時點撥,培養(yǎng)學生發(fā)現(xiàn)問題、解決問題的能力。四、提示學生反復誦讀課文,體會文章所闡述的道理。五、鼓勵學生及時歸納學習文言文的方法,注意積累文言文知識。教學程序:教學本課可安排2課時。第一課時:1、導入新課:首先給學生介紹毛澤東的七絕詩《為李進同志題所攝廬山仙人洞照》:“暮色蒼??磩潘?,亂云飛渡仍從容。天生一個仙人洞,無限風光在險峰?!睂W生通過誦讀領(lǐng)會了“無限風光在險峰”一句的含義。隨后因勢利導,引出課題,指出今天我們要學習的王安石的《游褒禪山記》,就含有類似的深邃哲理。
【教學目標】我設(shè)置的本課的教學目標有三個:1、知識與技能(1)了解曹雪芹及《紅樓夢》(2)學習通過一個人物的行蹤、所見所聞,介紹典型環(huán)境,認識封建貴族階級豪奢極恥的生活以及森嚴的等級、禮儀制度(3)分析小說人物出場的描寫藝術(shù),培養(yǎng)學生分析小說人物形象的能力。(4)一葉落而知秋”,通過對“林黛玉進賈府”這一故事情節(jié)的把握是否能引發(fā)對《紅樓夢》的認知興趣,并找到一個突破口,有針對性地進行自主探究,進而進行個性化解讀。(5)整體認知小說,認識小說悲劇的必然性和思想價值.2、過程與方法(1)用直觀演示和歸納探究法分析文章要點。(2)用討論探究法體驗作者對文中人物的情感態(tài)度。3、情感態(tài)度價值觀(1)正確理解《紅樓夢》的思想內(nèi)涵,培養(yǎng)學生熱愛祖國傳統(tǒng)文化的思想感情。(2)認識封建大家族的腐朽沒落,理解賈寶玉追求個性自由反封建的精神。
生2:頷聯(lián)的意思是只聽到禁衛(wèi)軍中傳來夜間巡邏的梆子聲,不再向?qū)m中那樣安逸地聽到有雞人打鳴報時的聲音了。生3:頸聯(lián)的意思是說事變發(fā)生那天軍隊發(fā)生嘩變停留不前,但當年唐玄宗以為自己可以和貴妃天天在一起,對天上的牽牛和織女一年一度的會見還加以嘲笑呢。生4:尾聯(lián)的含義是為什么唐玄宗當了四十五年的皇帝,還不如普通百姓夫妻恩愛,長相廝守。師:好的。請大家再齊讀一遍詩文,做到人人都能疏通詩的含義。學生再次齊讀。第三環(huán)節(jié):專項探究師:白居易曾說:“文章合為時而著,歌詩合為事而作?!边@首詩就是作者途經(jīng)馬嵬驛,詠馬嵬之變這一歷史事件而作,所以我們鑒賞的第三步,就是通過標題和詩文,弄清詩中的歷史事件。請同學們找出詩中哪些詩句描述了這一事件?
一、導入新課人類社會越來越現(xiàn)代化,新科學技術(shù)日新月異,令人目不暇接,稱之到了“知識爆炸”的時代也毫不為過。由此而來的是生活的快節(jié)奏,學習和工作的競爭也越來越激烈。這種競爭一直波及到了兒童,加之中國幾千年來形成的望子成龍的傳統(tǒng)觀念,使作父母的把一切希望都寄托在孩子身上,實現(xiàn)自己未能實現(xiàn)的理想。祖孫三代4、2、1的局面,使12只眼睛都盯在了孩子身上,真是走路怕摔著,吃飯怕噎著,干活怕累著,要星星不敢摘月亮,要吃什么跑遍全城也要買來。這種過分保護、溺愛及過早地灌輸知識會得到什么結(jié)果呢?樂觀者說孩子越來越聰明,越來越早熟,將來能更好適應(yīng)現(xiàn)代化的要求;悲觀者則認為豆芽菜式的孩子將來經(jīng)不起風浪,小皇帝太多了很難凝聚成統(tǒng)一力量,將來誰去當兵,誰去干那些艱苦創(chuàng)業(yè)性工作……。對孩子本身來說,是幸福還是……在此不想多發(fā)議論,還是讓我們來看看動物世界的孩子們吧,也許會得到某種啟迪。
說教材A.教材簡析《琵琶行(并序)》是人教版《普通高中課程標準實驗教科書語文》必修3第二單元的一篇講讀課文。本單元學習的是唐代詩歌,共七首詩?!杜眯校ú⑿颍肥翘拼F(xiàn)實主義詩人白居易寫的一首歌行體長篇敘事詩,是我國古代敘事詩和音樂詩中的“千古絕喝”。詩歌主題鮮明、人物形象生動,抒情真切細膩,具有深刻的思想內(nèi)容和卓越的藝術(shù)技巧。B.教學目標《全日制普通高中高級中學語文教學大綱》明確要求我們:在閱讀教學過程中要引導學生“感受文學形象,品味文學作品的語言和藝術(shù)技巧,初步鑒賞文學作品”。而本單元的教學要求是培養(yǎng)學生詩歌鑒賞的能力。根據(jù)教學大綱和單元教學要求,結(jié)合本課特點,我制定本課的教學目標是:1.知識目標:了解文學常識;積累重點文言實詞;品味主旨句“同是天涯淪落人,相逢何必曾相識”的內(nèi)涵;感知作者把音樂描寫與聽者、演奏者的感情融為一體的寫作特點。
(1)“問君西游何時還……使人聽此凋朱顏?!痹婎}下未注明送何人入蜀,所以這里的“問君”無妨假定實有其人,可以讀得親切一些。將行而問“何時還”,已有不可行之意,重音要落在“不可攀”三字上,當用勸說的語氣讀。以下四句借鳥聲渲染旅途中悲涼凄清的氛圍,讀時要放低聲調(diào),有干里孤身之感,至“愁空山”徐徐而上。然后用感喟的語調(diào)讀主旨句,至“凋朱顏”略作一頓,以示意猶未盡。(2)“連峰去天不盈尺……胡為乎來哉!”仍是說不可行,但內(nèi)容加深了一層,因為說的是蜀道的險惡。前四句不是純客觀的描寫,讀時須設(shè)想這是旅游者攀援于“連峰”“絕壁”之上置身于“飛湍瀑流”之間,要使聽者感到驚心動魄。讀后可作稍長停頓,再用“其險也如此”緩緩收住。末句是詩人借用蜀人的口氣,對歷險而來的游者深表嘆息——“胡為乎來哉”不是詢問,當用降調(diào)讀,暗含“何苦而來”之意。
(有的恒星旋轉(zhuǎn)平穩(wěn)均衡,有些恒星是因快速旋轉(zhuǎn)而變了形。作者以擬人的手法,生動形象地描述,仿佛向我們展示了不同恒星的性情:有的穩(wěn)重沉靜,有的急切躁動。讀來生動有趣,妙趣橫生。)(3)我們探索宇宙的時候,既要勇于懷疑,又要富于想象。想象經(jīng)常能夠把我們帶領(lǐng)到嶄新的世界,沒有想象,我們就處處碰壁。懷疑可以使我們擺脫幻想,還可以檢驗我們的推測。(對于未知領(lǐng)域的探索是需要懷疑和想象的,想象是科學的翅膀,敢于想象,并不斷地探索驗證,所謂“大膽假設(shè),小心求證”懷疑否定舊知,產(chǎn)生新知。作者以簡潔的語言闡述了想象和懷疑看似矛盾的兩者在宇宙探索中的相輔相成,和諧統(tǒng)一。作者不囿于介紹宇宙知識,還發(fā)表自己的見解。)(4)我認為宇宙里很可能到處都充滿著生命,只是我們?nèi)祟惿形窗l(fā)現(xiàn)而已。我們的探索才剛剛開始。
一、說教材《開辟新航路》是高中《歷史·必修二》第5課的內(nèi)容。從三個方面向?qū)W生介紹了歐洲人開辟新航路的歷史:即新航路開辟的原因和條件、新航路開辟經(jīng)過以及影響。前4課內(nèi)容介紹了古代中國經(jīng)濟的基本結(jié)構(gòu)與特點,從第5課開始學習資本主義世界市場的形成和發(fā)展。本課內(nèi)容相當重要,上承古代中國,下啟近代世界。新航路的開辟,打破了世界相對隔絕的狀態(tài),世界真正開始融合為一個整體。從此,以西歐為中心的世界市場的雛形開始出現(xiàn)。隨后的殖民擴張,世界市場拓展;第一次工業(yè)革命,世界市場基本形成;第二次工業(yè)革命,世界市場發(fā)展。二、說目標1、課程標準概述迪亞士、哥倫布開辟新航路的史實,認識地理大發(fā)現(xiàn)對世界市場形成的意義。2、三維目標①知識與能力:掌握新航路開辟的原因、經(jīng)過、影響。②過程與方法:引導學生分析原因及影響,培養(yǎng)學生分析和歸納問題的能力。③情感態(tài)度與價值觀:A、通過對新航路開辟過程的學習,使學生感受和學習探險家們勇于進取的開拓精神。B、通過學習新航路開辟的影響,使學生認識新航路開辟促進了人類社會的整體發(fā)展。
一. 教材分析1. 本單元的中心話題是“計算機(Computers)”,內(nèi)容涉及計算機的發(fā)展歷史,計算機的應(yīng)用等。本節(jié)課是該單元的第一課時,我將Warming up, Pre-reading and Comprehending這四部分整合為一節(jié)精讀課。其中。Reading部分是題為WHO AM I?的文章,以第一人稱的擬人手法介紹了計算機發(fā)長演變的歷史和計算機在各個領(lǐng)域的應(yīng)用,其主旨是表達計算機的發(fā)展變化之快以及在生活中用途之廣。而Warming up部分以圖片的形式展現(xiàn)了計算機的發(fā)展歷程;Pre-reading中的問題和排序分別是為了預測語篇的內(nèi)容和測試學生對計算機歷史了解的情況;Comprehending則通過各項練習訓練學生的閱讀技能,從而加深對文章的理解??梢娺@幾部分是一個有機的整體。2. 教學目標:1) 語言目標:重點詞匯及短語:abacus, calculate, calculator, PC, laptop, PDA, robot, analytical, technological, universal, mathematical, artificial, intelligent, network, explore, in common, as a result.重點句子:a.

Language learning needs a context, which can help the learners to understand the language and then can product comprehensible output, so computer has the advantages to make the materials attractive.Part 3 Learning MethodsTask-based, self-dependent and cooperative learningPart 4 Teaching ProcedureStep One Lead-in“Interest is the best teacher.” Therefore, at the very beginning of the class, I should spark the students’ mind to focus on the centre topic “the band”. I’ll show some pictures of food to attract their attention and then bring some questions.Question:What kind of food they like?What should go into a good meal?The answers must relate to the diet. After this, the students will be eager to know something about a balance diet and this is the very time to naturally lead the class into Step 2Step 2 Reading for information: skimming and scanning In this step, I use Task-based Language Teaching method, which can give students a clear and specific purpose while skimming and scanning the context.Task 1 General ideaThe students will be asked to just glance at the title and the pictures of the passage, and then guess what they will read in the text. And they’ll be divided into groups of four to have a discussion.The purpose is to inspire the students to read actively, not passively. In addition, the task is to develop the students’ reading skill by making prediction and to encourage the students to express their thoughts in English and cooperate with each other.Task 2 Main idea of each paragraphCooperative learning can raise the students’ interest and create an atmosphere of achievement. Based on this theory, I divide the whole class into 4 groups to skim the whole text and get the main idea of each paragraph.
