大班體育《我們愛運動》說課稿
活動共分四個環(huán)節(jié)，在開始部分我設計了在音樂的伴奏下玩木頭人的游戲，一開始老師和小朋友一起聽音樂四散做自己喜愛的動作，音樂一停，老師問：誰是木頭人？小朋友回答：我是木頭人，同時擺好一個造型不動，老師檢查。第二環(huán)節(jié)的游戲：我最愛運動是本節(jié)活動的重點和難點所在，重點是通過讓幼兒模仿運動造型，發(fā)展幼兒身體動作的協(xié)調性；培養(yǎng)幼兒積極參加游戲的主動性并訓練他們在行進間躲避同伴，不碰撞的能力。其中在行進間躲避同伴不碰撞是一個難點。為什么要設計這樣一個難點呢？我們在生活中常?？梢钥吹胶⒆觽冊谟瓮娴臅r候拼命往前沖，好象整個操場只有他一個人，這樣是非常危險的，教會孩子一些躲避的方法就可以避免碰撞事故的發(fā)生。在游戲的前面我設計了一個模仿運動員的小環(huán)節(jié)，目的是讓幼兒展示一下自己已經(jīng)掌握的運動項目，同時也可以大家相互交流一下，看看別人都了解了什么，這樣既給孩子一個展示的機會也提供了一個學習的機會。新綱要告訴我們：“培養(yǎng)幼兒對體育活動的興趣是幼兒園體育的重要目標”在設計游戲內容的時候，我就想用什么形式既能培養(yǎng)幼兒對體育活動的興趣又能鍛煉幼兒的能力，增強幼兒參與的積極性及競爭意識，于是我想到“競賽”。大家請看，這是教室場地的示意圖，中間的五個小圓圈是競賽點，里面分別寫上“我、最、愛、運、動”五個字，外圈是準備區(qū)。游戲開始，小朋友和老師一起站在大圈上，聽音樂逆時針向前跑，音樂一停，教師問：誰最愛運動，幼兒一邊回答：我最愛運動，一邊去搶占五個圈，每一個圈里只能站一個人。最先到達圈內的小朋友每人要做一個運動項目的造型，而且不能與別人的重復。再由其他小朋友選出一名做得最好，游戲繼續(xù)進行，每一輪的優(yōu)勝者，到最后一起進行決賽。
關于幼兒大班國旗下的講話稿5篇
導語：講話稿有廣義和狹義之分。廣義的講話稿是人們在特定場合發(fā)表講話的文稿；狹義的講話稿即一般所說的領導講話稿，是各級領導在各種會議上發(fā)表帶有宣傳、指示、總結性質講話的文稿。是應用寫作研究的重要文體之一。表明事情的緣由。篇一：幼兒園大班新學期國旗下講話稿 尊敬的老師們，親愛的小朋友們，大家早上好！我叫李易珈，是大班的小朋友，每個星期一的早晨，我們幼兒園都會舉行升旗儀式。今天是新學期的第一次升旗儀式， 我們小朋友邁著整齊的步伐，來到了五星紅旗下，我的內心非常激動。我想大家和我的感覺也是一樣的。從幼兒園的小弟弟、小妹妹長成了大哥哥、大姐姐，我們的知識一天天豐富；我們的能力一步步提高；我們每一點進步，每一次成功，都離不開我們親愛的老師，是你們的細心呵護和教誨陪伴我們成長。在這里我代表所有的小朋友，向老師說一聲“謝謝”新學期我們迎來了很多新朋友，我們大班的哥哥姐姐，會有一個嶄新的面貌。

二、說教學目標：由于本單元的五個話題都涉及到了不同的條件下所產生的各種結果。所以我確定的本課時的教學目標是：通過談論圖片和身邊常見的話題，學會if引導的條件狀語從句的用法。即用if條件狀語從句作出假設，用will來談論結果。三、說教學重點：一方面，由于本單元的話題是談論結果，那么在不同的情境下其結果也會不一樣，所以根據(jù)不同的情境來推測并談論各種結果是個重點。另一方面，因為學生沒有一個好的語言氛圍，所以我側重于聽力和口語的培養(yǎng)，多創(chuàng)設情境能讓學生發(fā)揮想象，以此激發(fā)他們的學習興趣，。四、說教學難點學生容易記住主句用一般將來時態(tài)，從句用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)，但在判斷主句、從句方面容易混淆，因此，我將正確使用主句從句的時態(tài)定為本課時的難點。

I will visit Hong Kong next year.重點詞匯及短語：water, wood, farm, ocean, hit, appear, turn, government, thousands of, southern, villager, strongly, step, clean out, some day, be off, so far, go for walks, thanks to, look forward to學習策略與思維技巧：引導、合作跨學科學習：歷史知識、文化學習教學重點：現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)的構成及應用教學難點：現(xiàn)在完成時與一般過去時的區(qū)別 學習方式：自主、合作學習 情感目標： 教育學生做事情要有條理，養(yǎng)成“今日事，今日畢”的好習慣。培養(yǎng)學生養(yǎng)成反省的好習慣。增強學生做事的條理性及計劃性。課前任務：記錄和查找自己和別人已做過或仍沒做的事情。
人教版新目標初中英語七年級上冊What color is it教案
一、知識和能力目標通過本單元教學，使學生能運用所學英語，正確地描述物體的顏色；同時進一步學習分辨人物的用語，并加以運用。二、過程和方法目標本單元口語訓練應當自始至終在一種鮮明的色彩背景下進行，旨在營造那種為學生所喜愛的歡快氣氛，教師應當在十種顏色上大做文章；在使用實物時要使顏色醒目；在組合圖畫時，要盡量用大色塊；在使用投影時要使顏色突出來。教師可以從教室環(huán)境上入手營造色彩氣氛，如：選取十種顏色的硬色板，剪成各個大寫字母；或者將色板剪成各種卡通動物形象，懸掛在教室當中或在墻上，注明各種顏色的英語字塊。三、情感態(tài)度和價值觀目標用各種可以調動學生積極性的活動來提高學生的活躍性，激發(fā)他們參與討論的熱情。同時可以對學生進行美育教育，從小培養(yǎng)他們對美的正確認識。
大班故事《耷拉著耳朵的小兔子》說課稿
《耷拉著耳朵的小兔子》這是一個情節(jié)有趣，形象鮮明突出，語言中透露著嘲笑和鄙視，容易吸引幼兒的學習興趣，又可以拓展孩子的想象力；其二是現(xiàn)在的孩子由于受生活環(huán)境限制，缺乏與周圍人相處的經(jīng)驗，普遍存在對周圍事物缺乏感情的行為，所以這一內容既符合幼兒年齡特點，又符合孩子的現(xiàn)實需要。故事極具創(chuàng)意，從問題—沖突—解決都充滿童趣的處理方式，故事描述小兔子由于個體差異而受到別人的嘲笑，于是它想盡種種辦法讓耳朵豎起來，其實是帶出小伙伴們與小兔子之間的關系。小伙伴們不僅沒有安慰小兔子，反而三番兩次地嘲笑小兔子,于是制造出了更多的問題。最后小兔子通過醫(yī)生的點撥，明白了其中的道理，于是接受了這個事實，并用很樂觀的態(tài)度來對待，結果反而受到了別的小伙伴的歡迎。這個故事和生活比較貼近，又能服務于幼兒的生活，讓幼兒在講述中懂得每個人各有優(yōu)點，符合大班幼兒的年齡特點和學習特點。這個故事同樣也適合我們廣大的家長和老師，讀后發(fā)人深省。
大班健康《我是勇敢的消防員》說課稿
幼兒園健康應該教什么？怎么教？新《綱要》中為我們指引了方向，它不僅指出：“幼兒園必須把保護幼兒的生命和促進幼兒的健康放在工作的首位?！蓖瑫r還強調“要密切結合幼兒的生活進行安全教育，提高幼兒的自我保護能力。”每個學期我園都要進行各種安全演練，包括防火防震演練，防踩踏演練等等，特別是消防知識與我們的生活息息相關、緊密聯(lián)系，它更貼近幼兒生活，幼兒比較感興趣。這學期我們大班健康領域的活動主題是：“利用自制教玩具，讓幼兒在生動有趣、形式多樣的活動中獲得發(fā)展?！睘榱苏嬲瀼芈鋵崱毒V要》精神，所以在教學設計中我力求朝著生活化、個性化方向發(fā)展，使健康活動成為幼兒教育必不可少的教育內容。
