通過列表對比法、歸納法、、多媒體輔助法等教學方法,突破理論性強、不宜理解的“3S”原理與區(qū)別的知識難點。學生更是學會運用圖表方法、高效記憶法、合作學習法等方法學習地理知識,增加學習能力。[幻燈片] “3S技術(shù)”的應用:地理信息技術(shù)的應用十分廣泛,從實際身旁的社會生產(chǎn)生活,到地理學的區(qū)域地理環(huán)境研究。學生的年齡和認知范圍決定,此部分的案例教學的運用,前者容易接觸到、簡單直觀、易區(qū)分掌握“3S”技術(shù)特點和具體應用。而后者涉及地理學科的綜合性和區(qū)域性的特點,難度較大。針對學情特點,我多以前者案例入手學習,以后者案例加以補充。案例:遙感:(1)視頻 專家解說衛(wèi)星遙感受災影象(2)教材 圖1.6 1998年8月28日洞庭湖及荊江地區(qū)衛(wèi)星遙感圖像(3)視頻 2008年5月13日“北京一號”衛(wèi)星提供汶川的災區(qū)遙感圖像(4)教材 閱讀 遙感在農(nóng)業(yè)方面的應用
在這段教學中可以插入世界主要鐵礦、煤礦,以及我國主要的礦產(chǎn)基地、鋼鐵生產(chǎn)基地的相關(guān)內(nèi)容,不失為區(qū)域地理知識的很好補充和鞏固。那么從現(xiàn)狀來看我國的鋼鐵產(chǎn)業(yè)基地多數(shù)污染較為嚴重,可見工業(yè)區(qū)位的選擇同樣要顧及到環(huán)境的因素,由此引入下一部分的內(nèi)容。除了傳統(tǒng)意義上的工業(yè)區(qū)位因素外,環(huán)境、政策以及決策者的理念和心理等日益受到人們的關(guān)注。在這段文字的處理上,只需進行概念、道理上的陳述即可,重點要放在污染工業(yè)在城市中的布局這一知識點上。首先要了解什么工業(yè)會造成怎樣的污染,然后根據(jù)污染的類別分別講解不同的應對方略,最后將配以適當?shù)睦}以期提高學生的整體把握程度和綜合運用能力。最后將對本節(jié)內(nèi)容進行小結(jié),要在小結(jié)中闡述清楚本節(jié)課的兩大內(nèi)容:即工業(yè)的區(qū)位因素和工業(yè)區(qū)位的選擇。然后點明本節(jié)課的主要知識點、難點、重點。在時間允許的情況下可以適當安排幾道有關(guān)主導產(chǎn)業(yè)和城市工業(yè)布局的例題加以練習。
1.直觀圖:表示空間幾何圖形的平面圖形,叫做空間圖形的直觀圖直觀圖往往與立體圖形的真實形狀不完全相同,直觀圖通常是在平行投影下得到的平面圖形2.給出直觀圖的畫法斜二側(cè)畫法觀察:矩形窗戶在陽光照射下留在地面上的影子是什么形狀?眺望遠處成塊的農(nóng)田,矩形的農(nóng)田在我們眼里又是什么形狀呢?3. 給出斜二測具體步驟(1)在已知圖形中取互相垂直的X軸Y軸,兩軸相交于O,畫直觀圖時,把他們畫成對應的X'軸與Y'軸,兩軸交于O'。且使∠X'O'Y'=45°(或135°)。他們確定的平面表示水平面。(2)已知圖形中平行于X軸或y軸的線段,在直觀圖中分別畫成平行于X'軸或y'軸的線段。(3)已知圖形中平行于X軸的線段,在直觀圖中保持原長度不變,平行于Y軸的線段,在直觀圖中長度為原來一半。4.對斜二測方法進行舉例:對于平面多邊形,我們常用斜二測畫法畫出他們的直觀圖。如圖 A'B'C'D'就是利用斜二測畫出的水平放置的正方形ABCD的直觀圖。其中橫向線段A'B'=AB,C'D'=CD;縱向線段A'D'=1/2AD,B'C'=1/2BC;∠D'A'B'=45°,這與我們的直觀觀察是一致的。5.例一:用斜二測畫法畫水平放置的六邊形的直觀圖(1)在六邊形ABCDEF中,取AD所在直線為X軸,對稱軸MN所在直線為Y軸,兩軸交于O',使∠X'oy'=45°(2)以o'為中心,在X'上取A'D'=AD,在y'軸上取M'N'=½MN。以點N為中心,畫B'C'平行于X'軸,并且等于BC;再以M'為中心,畫E'F'平行于X‘軸并且等于EF。 (3)連接A'B',C'D',E'F',F'A',并擦去輔助線x軸y軸,便獲得正六邊形ABCDEF水平放置的直觀圖A'B'C'D'E'F' 6. 平面圖形的斜二測畫法(1)建兩個坐標系,注意斜坐標系夾角為45°或135°;(2)與坐標軸平行或重合的線段保持平行或重合;(3)水平線段等長,豎直線段減半;(4)整理.簡言之:“橫不變,豎減半,平行、重合不改變?!?/p>
反思感悟用基底表示空間向量的解題策略1.空間中,任一向量都可以用一個基底表示,且只要基底確定,則表示形式是唯一的.2.用基底表示空間向量時,一般要結(jié)合圖形,運用向量加法、減法的平行四邊形法則、三角形法則,以及數(shù)乘向量的運算法則,逐步向基向量過渡,直至全部用基向量表示.3.在空間幾何體中選擇基底時,通常選取公共起點最集中的向量或關(guān)系最明確的向量作為基底,例如,在正方體、長方體、平行六面體、四面體中,一般選用從同一頂點出發(fā)的三條棱所對應的向量作為基底.例2.在棱長為2的正方體ABCD-A1B1C1D1中,E,F分別是DD1,BD的中點,點G在棱CD上,且CG=1/3 CD(1)證明:EF⊥B1C;(2)求EF與C1G所成角的余弦值.思路分析選擇一個空間基底,將(EF) ?,(B_1 C) ?,(C_1 G) ?用基向量表示.(1)證明(EF) ?·(B_1 C) ?=0即可;(2)求(EF) ?與(C_1 G) ?夾角的余弦值即可.(1)證明:設(DA) ?=i,(DC) ?=j,(DD_1 ) ?=k,則{i,j,k}構(gòu)成空間的一個正交基底.
(2)l的傾斜角為90°,即l平行于y軸,所以m+1=2m,得m=1.延伸探究1 本例條件不變,試求直線l的傾斜角為銳角時實數(shù)m的取值范圍.解:由題意知(m"-" 1"-" 1)/(m+1"-" 2m)>0,解得1<m<2.延伸探究2 若將本例中的“N(2m,1)”改為“N(3m,2m)”,其他條件不變,結(jié)果如何?解:(1)由題意知(m"-" 1"-" 2m)/(m+1"-" 3m)=1,解得m=2.(2)由題意知m+1=3m,解得m=1/2.直線斜率的計算方法(1)判斷兩點的橫坐標是否相等,若相等,則直線的斜率不存在.(2)若兩點的橫坐標不相等,則可以用斜率公式k=(y_2 "-" y_1)/(x_2 "-" x_1 )(其中x1≠x2)進行計算.金題典例 光線從點A(2,1)射到y(tǒng)軸上的點Q,經(jīng)y軸反射后過點B(4,3),試求點Q的坐標及入射光線的斜率.解:(方法1)設Q(0,y),則由題意得kQA=-kQB.∵kQA=(1"-" y)/2,kQB=(3"-" y)/4,∴(1"-" y)/2=-(3"-" y)/4.解得y=5/3,即點Q的坐標為 0,5/3 ,∴k入=kQA=(1"-" y)/2=-1/3.(方法2)設Q(0,y),如圖,點B(4,3)關(guān)于y軸的對稱點為B'(-4,3), kAB'=(1"-" 3)/(2+4)=-1/3,由題意得,A、Q、B'三點共線.從而入射光線的斜率為kAQ=kAB'=-1/3.所以,有(1"-" y)/2=(1"-" 3)/(2+4),解得y=5/3,點Q的坐標為(0,5/3).
人教版新課標教材必修一的“表達交流”部分,有一個專題是“人性的光輝——寫人要凸顯個性”。其中的“寫法借鑒”部分列舉了兩則人物描寫實例,并歸納出人物描寫的幾個要點。其訓練的思路和方法是很明顯的,但所列舉的人物描寫的實例卻不夠典型。而必修一第三單元正好是學習寫人記事散文,其中的兩篇自讀課文《記梁任公先生的一次演講》《金岳霖先生》又是寫人記事非常典型的文章,故而我嘗試將這兩篇文章作為實例和。寫人要凸顯個性。寫作指導結(jié)合起來教學。這樣設計還有一個目的,那就是解決課程改革中教學內(nèi)容多而課時緊張的矛盾,提高課堂教學效率。師:今天,我們一起來學習“寫人要凸顯個性”。這兩堂課分四個步驟來完成:一、先學習教材中關(guān)于寫人方法的介紹,約15分鐘;二、快速閱讀第三單元的《記梁任公先生的一次演講》和《金岳霖先生》兩篇文章,具體感受其寫人的方法,約30分鐘;
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.
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.
1. 這個寓言是一個關(guān)于一位國王古寓言。 The fable is an old fable about a king.2.作者用這個故事讓讀者對于社區(qū)的問題負有個人責任的必要印象深刻。The author used the story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community.3. 這個故事十分成功的實現(xiàn)了它的目的。The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose.Step 7 WritingPlease write a review of the story according the outline above.The fable is an old fable about a king who thought his people are lazy, so he put a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waited to see if anyone will try to move it.The author used this story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. 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. Does the writer give his or her opinion about the character or their actions ?4. Is the review well-organised ? 5. Does the writer use the -ing form as the adverbial correctly in the writing ?6.

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.

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. Fast reading to get the detailed information about Lin Qiaozhi; careful reading to do the deductive information.2. Learn the reading skills--deductive judgement according the context.3. Study the structure features and language features. 4. Communicate about Lin’s life choices and reflect their own life choices.1. Learn the reading skills--deductive judgement according the context.2. Study the structure features and language features.3. Communicate about Lin’s life choices and reflect their own life choices.Step 1 Lead in---Small talkWhat are some important life choices?Importance choices: university study, jobs and marriage partners. Because they can determine our future.
Step 4 PracticeRead the conversation. Find out which words have been left out.Justin: Linlin, I’m going to Guizhou Province next month. I’m super excited! Any recommendations for places to visit?Linlin: Wow, cool! Guizhou is a province with a lot of cultural diversity. Places to visit...well, definitely the Huangguoshu Waterfall first.Justin: What’s special about the waterfall?Linlin: Well, have you ever heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West ?Justin: Yes, I have. Why ?Linlin: In the back of the waterfall, you will find a cave, which is the home of the Monkey King.Justin: Really? Cool! I’ll definitely check it out.Linlin:And I strongly recommend the ethnic minority villages. You’ll find Chinese culture is much more diverse than you thought.Justin:Sounds great, thanks.Answers:Justin: Linlin, I’m going to Guizhou Province next month. I’m super excited! Do you have any recommendations for places to visit?Linlin: Wow, that’s cool! Guizhou is a province with a lot of cultural diversity. What are some places to visit in Guizhou ? Well, definitely the Huangguoshu Waterfall is the first place to visit in Guizhou Province.Justin: What’s special about the waterfall?Linlin: Well, have you ever heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West ?Justin: Yes, I have heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West . Why do you ask if I have heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West?Linlin: In the back of the waterfall, you will find a cave, which is the home of the Monkey King from Journey to the West.Justin: That’s really true? It’s Cool! I’ll definitely check it out.Linlin:And I strongly recommend the ethnic minority villages on your trip to Guizhou Province. You’ll find Chinese culture is much more diverse than you thought it was.Justin:This all sounds great, thanks.
The topic of this part is “Describe a place with distinctive cultural identity”.This section focuses on Chinese culture by introducing Chinatown, whose purpose is to show the relationship between the Chinese culture and American culture. The Chinese culture in Chinatown is an important part of American culture. Chinatown is an important window of spreading Chinese culture and the spirit homeland of oversea Chinese, where foreigners can experience Chinese culture by themselves.Concretely, the title is “Welcome to Chinatown!”, from which we can know that the article aims at introducing Chinatown. The author used the “Introduction--Body Paragraph--Conclusion” to describe the people, language, architecture, business, famous food and drinks and people’s activities, which can be a centre for Chinese culture and shows its unique charm.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information.2. Learn the characteristics of writing and language.3. Learn to introduce your own town according to the text.4. Learn to correct others’ writing.1. Learn the characteristics of writing and language.2. Learn to introduce your own town according to the text.Step 1 Lead in ---Small talkIn the reading part, we mentioned the Chinatown of San Francisco. How much do you know about Chinatown of San Francisco ?Chinatown is a main living place for Chinese immigrants, where you can see many Chinese-style buildings, costumes, operas, restaurants, music and even hear Chinese.Step 2 Before reading ---Predict the contentWhat is the writer’s purpose of writing this text ? How do you know ?From the title(Welcome to Chinatown) and some key words from the text(tourist, visit, visitors, experience), we can know the purpose of the text is to introduce Chinatown and show the relationship between Chinese culture and American culture.
Discuss these questions in groups.Q1: Have you ever been to a place that has a diverse culture ? What do you think about the culture diversity ?One culturally diverse place that I have been to is Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang Province. I went there last year with my family to see the Ice and Snow Festival, and I was amazed at how the culture as different to most other Chinese cities. There is a big Russian influence there, with beautiful Russian architecture and lots of interesting restaurants. I learnt that Harbin is called “the Oriental Moscow” and that many Russians settled there to help build the railway over 100 years ago.Q2: What are the benefits and challenges of cultural diversity ?The benefits: People are able to experience a wide variety of cultures, making their lives more interesting, and it can deepen the feelings for our national culture, it is also helpful for us to learn about other outstanding culture, which helps improve the ability to respect others. The challenges: People may have trouble communicating or understanding each other, and it may lead to disappearance of some civilizations and even make some people think “The western moon is rounder than his own.”Step 7 Post reading---RetellComplete the passage according to the text.Today, I arrived back in San Francisco, and it feels good (1) _____(be) back in the city again. The city succeeded in (2)_________ (rebuild) itself after the earthquake that (3)________ (occur) in 1906, and I stayed in the Mission District, enjoying some delicious noodles mixed with cultures.
