1.做學(xué)問之前首先學(xué)會做人2.知識文化修養(yǎng)和思想道德修養(yǎng)的關(guān)系三.追求更高的思想道德目標(biāo)㈤ 說教學(xué)評價和反思:1.這節(jié)課主要是以學(xué)生為主體,老師為主導(dǎo),讓學(xué)生充分發(fā)表自己的看法,把理論的知識結(jié)合在實際的日常生活中,鼓勵學(xué)生充分發(fā)表自己的意見,能調(diào)動學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的積極性,達(dá)到教學(xué)目的。這節(jié)課學(xué)生討論,發(fā)言的機會很多,但由于我校的學(xué)生的基礎(chǔ)薄弱,在發(fā)言時難免偏離老師引導(dǎo)的方向,甚至出現(xiàn)毫不相干的說法,由于本人經(jīng)驗不夠此時如何去引導(dǎo)他們可能做的還不夠好。2.新課程的教學(xué),如何突破書本知識的局限,延伸更深層次的內(nèi)容是一個難題。本節(jié)課在知識的處理上,把道德的重要性與道德的層次兩個知識點補充了進去,目的是讓學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)之前有一個情感的鋪墊,從而更好地達(dá)到教學(xué)目標(biāo)。
1789年法國大革命后,共和派與君主派之間進行了長期反復(fù)的斗爭,直到1875年法蘭西第三共和國憲法通過才最終確立了共和政體,它為法國資本主義的進一步發(fā)展奠定了基礎(chǔ)。專制色彩濃厚的普魯士通過王朝戰(zhàn)爭這種自上而下的形式,完成了德國的統(tǒng)一。1871年德意志帝國憲法頒布,德國君主立憲政體確立,保留了濃厚的專制殘余和軍國主義傳統(tǒng)。但資產(chǎn)階級代議制的建立使德國的資本主義工業(yè)迅速發(fā)展起來,19世紀(jì)末躋身到世界強國行列。資本主義政治制度擴展到了歐洲大陸,隨著這兩個國家資本主義政治制度的確立,近代西方主要資本主義政治制度得以最終確立。四、板書一、法國共和政體確立的艱難歷程1、艱難 (1)表現(xiàn) (2)原因2、確立標(biāo)志:法蘭西第三共和國憲法
精講拓寬:師:(精講)英國位于大西洋中的不列顛島上,東、南隔北海、多佛爾海峽、英吉利海峽與歐洲大陸相望,具備了擴大海外貿(mào)易的得天獨厚的條件。新航路開辟以后,歐洲的商路和貿(mào)易中心發(fā)生了變化,主要商路從地中海轉(zhuǎn)移到大西洋沿岸。英國積極參與了海外貿(mào)易的競爭。請同學(xué)們思考:英國資本主義是怎樣發(fā)展起來的呢?生1:像荷蘭一樣,英國位于大西洋沿岸,具備了擴大海外貿(mào)易的得天獨厚的條件。生2:更主要的是英國政府組建了東印度公司,大力發(fā)展海外貿(mào)易,進行海外殖民擴張。生3:英國是島國,在資產(chǎn)階級革命以后建立起來的資產(chǎn)階級政府,十分重視海軍建設(shè),為爭奪殖民地提供了軍事保障。生4:還有一個原因不能忽視,那就是英國的煤炭和羊毛資源豐富,手工業(yè)發(fā)達(dá),為它的海外殖民活動奠定了雄厚的物質(zhì)基礎(chǔ)。師:(過渡)其實,英國資本主義的發(fā)展過程,就是它殖民霸權(quán)地位的確立過程,也就是與其他殖民國家不斷斗爭并取得勝利的過程。英國先后與哪些國家發(fā)生過爭奪戰(zhàn)爭呢?
(二)課堂教學(xué)在教學(xué)中,無論是形式還是內(nèi)容,都必須統(tǒng)一于學(xué)生的發(fā)展。從形式上說,以學(xué)生展示、思考、討論為主,教師點撥為輔,在一定的情境與社會文化背景下,獲得對傳統(tǒng)文化的認(rèn)識和理解。從內(nèi)容上說,主要以福州地方傳統(tǒng)文化為素材,圍繞海峽兩岸同時舉辦的“元霄燈會”為主線,回歸到學(xué)生的生活世界,更有效地激發(fā)起學(xué)生情感,并將生活世界與知識世界銜接起來,在實際情景中分析傳授相關(guān)傳統(tǒng)文化的知識,提高學(xué)生認(rèn)識和分析解決問題的能力,逐步形成對傳統(tǒng)文化的情感和價值判斷。教學(xué)過程,緊緊圍繞傳統(tǒng)文化,分為“激趣導(dǎo)入--活動感悟--探究思辯--升華導(dǎo)行”四個層次,環(huán)環(huán)相扣,逐步推進,幫助學(xué)生完成由感性認(rèn)識到理性認(rèn)識的飛躍。1.激趣導(dǎo)入良好的開端是成功的一半。德國的普克朗認(rèn)為:“思考可以構(gòu)成一座橋,讓我們通向新知識”。因此,一開始,我就運用對比方法,進行設(shè)問,福州和西安、南京、北京一樣也是歷史文化名城,你們同意嗎?
根據(jù)課標(biāo)要求,參照教科書,支撐這一問題解決的知識有:⑴文化生活的特點;⑵文化生活的兩面性;⑶發(fā)展文化生活的基本要求。其中重點問題是辨別文化生活的“喜”與“憂”。只有辨別清楚,才能趨利避害,才能積極主動的參與健康向上的文化生活。從而為怎樣發(fā)展為人民大眾所喜聞樂見的文化打下基礎(chǔ)。由于高二學(xué)生尚未學(xué)習(xí)哲學(xué)知識,所以它也是本節(jié)的一個難點,同時,由于學(xué)術(shù)界對什么是大眾文化,大眾文化有那些基本特征,存在著分歧,所以正確把握大眾文化的含義也成為本節(jié)課的一個難點。三、學(xué)情分析:應(yīng)該說高二學(xué)生已經(jīng)參與了不少的文化生活。但由于其正處在三觀形成的關(guān)鍵時期,對文化生活的參與還比較盲目,缺少理性思考,以至付出沉重的代價。很顯然通過本框的學(xué)習(xí),學(xué)生會更加理性的參與文化生活,從而健康茁壯的發(fā)展、成長。四、教學(xué)目標(biāo):基于以上分析,我將本框題的教學(xué)目標(biāo)確定為以下三個方面:(1)知識目標(biāo):了解目前我國文化生活的現(xiàn)狀,知道人們的文化生活是色彩斑斕的,但也存在令人憂慮的現(xiàn)象;把握大眾文化的豐富內(nèi)涵;明確發(fā)展為人民大眾所喜聞樂見的文化必須堅持的原則、方針等。
師:在科學(xué)發(fā)展過程中,前一個理論體系的不完善之處,往往是新的研究和新的發(fā)現(xiàn)的突破口。開普勒之后,意大利天文學(xué)家伽利略創(chuàng)制了天文望遠(yuǎn)鏡,用更加精確的觀察繼續(xù)發(fā)展和驗證哥白尼創(chuàng)立的新天文學(xué)理論。除了用望遠(yuǎn)鏡進行天文觀察以外,伽利略還開始進行自然科學(xué)的實驗研究,哪位同學(xué)能給大家講一講伽利略在比薩斜塔上所作的關(guān)于物體自由下落的實驗?生:(講述這一實驗)師:所以,伽利略在科學(xué)方面更加重要的貢獻(xiàn)是奠定了近代實驗科學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)。(2)實驗科學(xué)和唯物主義師:伽利略從實踐上開辟了實驗科學(xué)的方法,而英國唯物主義哲學(xué)家培根則從理論上闡述了實驗科學(xué)的方法——歸納法。培根和伽利略同被稱為實驗科學(xué)之父,培根還有一句影響深刻的名言:“知識就是力量”,表明了他注重知識,尊崇科學(xué)的精神。我們再來概括一下意大利哲學(xué)家布魯諾的唯物主義思想,是否有同學(xué)可以簡述布魯諾的生平事跡?

The topic of this part is “Discover the reasons for festivals and celebrations.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at talking about the experiences and feelings or emotions about the festivals and celebrations. This section aims at detecting the reason why the people celebrate the festivals, the time, the places, the types and the way of celebrations. It also explains why some traditions in the old celebrations are disappearing, like the firecrackers in the big cities and some new things are appearing like the prosperity of business or commerce. 1. Students can talk about what festivals they know and the reasons and the way of celebrating them.2. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.3. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them. 4. Students can have the international awareness about the festivals.1. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.2. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them.Step 1 Lead in---Small talkWhat festival do you like best ? Why ?I like the Spring Festivals because I can set off the fireworks, receive the lucky money and enjoy the Gala with my families.Step 2 Before reading---Pair workWhy do people celebrate different festivals ?The Spring Festivals is to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring and new life.The Mid-autumn Day is to celebrate the harvest and admire the moon.
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.
Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …h(huán)orse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.
The topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences. During the reading part, it introduces the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which can give students a good example to imitate. Students not only learn the festival, but touch and feel the Inner Mongolian’s character, the spirit and cultural atmosphere, which can help students form the cultural awareness and learn to enjoy and value the diversity of Chinese culture.Concretely, the dairy tells the experience that the author spent the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with his/her friend. The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience. Because this part is a travel journal, we must guide students pay more attention to these details: 1. use the first person. 2. use the past tense to tell the past thing and use the present or future tense to describe the scenery. 3. use the timeline to tell the development. 4. be careful for the author’s psychology, emotion and feeling, etc.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information about Naadam Festival.2. Learn the structure of the reading article and language.3. Write an article about a festival experience4. Learn to use the psychology, emotions and feeling in the writing.1. Write an article about a festival experience.2. Use the structure of the reading article and language.
Example:One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door found that he only had one dime(一角)left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.” Tear of joy flooded her eyes.
The topic of this part is “Learn to make choices in life”.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at the moral dilemmas, and this part is about making choices in life. The heroin is Lin Qiaozhi, a famous medical scientist, made a great contribution to our country’s medical care. Most importantly, her life experience can inspire our students whether in studying or the development of career. she had moral dilemmas and life choices, which are similar to the students who will step into society. Besides, Lin has quite good virtues like kindness, self-improvement, insistence, job-loving , generosity and responsibility, which is worth being learned.Concretely, this article is a biography about Lin Qiaozhi. The article tells her whole life according the timeline, among which the life choices is emphasized. For example, whether married or chased her dream, returned home or stayed abroad, family or public, her choices all reflected her faith, spirit, responsibility and devotion.1.

The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral.However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people with the need for personal responsibility.Step 8 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner. Use this checklist to help your partner revise his/her draft.1. Does the writer give a short description of the story ?2. Does the description include the most important details of the story ?3.
