1、 說教材的地位和作用《世界文化的多樣性》是人教版必修教材《文化生活》第二單元第一課的第一個框題。多樣性是當(dāng)代世界文化的重要特征,也是文化交流和傳播的前提。因此,本框知識具有承前啟后的作用,在本單元中,它是一個引子,開啟了本單元知識的學(xué)習(xí)之門。2、 說教學(xué)的重、難點根據(jù)課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以及高二學(xué)生的知識結(jié)構(gòu)和思維特點,我確定了教學(xué)重點和難點。教學(xué)重點:民族文化的多樣性。確定重點的依據(jù):豐富的世界文化表現(xiàn)在文字、建筑、服飾、飲食、宗教信仰、思想理論、文學(xué)藝術(shù)、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣等眾多方面。世界有許多輝煌的文化成就和著稱于世的文化遺產(chǎn)??梢哉f,世界文化的多樣性主要表現(xiàn)在民族文化的多樣性。在教材內(nèi)容中有許多關(guān)于文化的論述和概念。其中“民族文化的多樣性”起著關(guān)鍵性的作用。難點:尊重文化多樣性必然性。
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.
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.
(一)教材的地位新中國的成立是20世紀(jì)的一件大事。它結(jié)束了幾千年封建專制統(tǒng)治的歷史,開啟了中華民族發(fā)展的新紀(jì)元。本課側(cè)重這一時期一個非常顯著的特征,即制度的更新,它本身具有知識的延續(xù)性和鋪墊性。新中國的成立促進了社會經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展,也為祖國的統(tǒng)一奠定了重要基礎(chǔ)。(二)教學(xué)目標(biāo)依據(jù)新課程以人為本,促進學(xué)生全面發(fā)展的要求,同時,針對高一年級學(xué)生具備一定基礎(chǔ)知識但掌握不牢固,對歷史興趣濃厚但又自制能力差的特點,我對本課的三維目標(biāo)設(shè)定如下:見多媒體。(三)教學(xué)重點的確定及處理本課的主題是新中國的民主政治建設(shè),這個問題的掌握對以后學(xué)習(xí)中國民主政治建設(shè)的進程有很大幫助,并且學(xué)生能力的提高也有賴于對它的認(rèn)識,所以確定“人民代表大會制度的創(chuàng)立”是教學(xué)重點。
四、教學(xué)過程1.導(dǎo)入新課(2分鐘)出示中非合作論壇暨第3屆部長級會議圖片。用時事引起學(xué)生注意,設(shè)問,“55年前,亞洲與非洲有哪一次跨越印度洋的握手”,提示答案“萬隆亞非會議”,給出答案導(dǎo)入新課2.外交環(huán)境:學(xué)生閱讀,教師分析。(3分鐘)3.外交方針之一:獨立自主的和平外交方針(5分鐘) 出示材料:《共同綱領(lǐng)》引文。學(xué)生、閱讀、提煉除新中國奉行獨立自主的外交政策。進而由學(xué)生分析另起爐灶、打掃干凈屋子再請客和一邊倒。培養(yǎng)學(xué)生分析材料、利用材料的能力過度:新中國作出一邊倒大的積極主動態(tài)勢,社會主義陣營的兄弟們也立刻作出了積極回應(yīng)。1949年10月2日,中蘇建立了外交關(guān)系。4.外交建樹之一:同蘇聯(lián)等17個國家建立外交關(guān)系(3分鐘)出示毛澤東訪問蘇聯(lián)等圖片和第一批建交的17個國家名字
四.設(shè)計反思我在設(shè)計本課時,希望通過情境的創(chuàng)設(shè)充分再現(xiàn)歷史,并利用多媒體輔助教學(xué),破重點、化難點,讓學(xué)生主動參與到學(xué)習(xí)過程中,從而突破狹小的教室空間,讓學(xué)生真正做到感知歷史,立足現(xiàn)實,展望未來。自主,交流、合作、探究是課程改革中著力倡導(dǎo)的新型學(xué)習(xí)方式。課堂教學(xué)中如何開展小組合作的探究學(xué)習(xí)存在著很多困難,首先是課堂教學(xué)時間有限,如何體現(xiàn)面向全體,給每個學(xué)生以機會?再次,歷史問題的討論只能依托于史料才能使討論不淪為空談,課堂上通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)提供大量的史料(文字、圖片或其他),勢必不能有充分時間讓學(xué)生閱讀分析。如何解決這些問題呢?措施一:要形成較固定的歷史學(xué)習(xí)合作小組。選定一位同學(xué)擔(dān)任組長,負責(zé)協(xié)調(diào)措施二:要設(shè)置有利于學(xué)生探究的問題情境措施三:要把課堂教學(xué)與課外學(xué)習(xí)結(jié)合起來。在課前就印發(fā)相關(guān)的材料,或引導(dǎo)學(xué)生去查閱相關(guān)的資料,讓學(xué)生有個充分的閱讀、思考、交流的時間,是保證課堂上小組交流能成功實現(xiàn)的一個前提
問題設(shè)計:通過這一課的學(xué)習(xí),同學(xué)們能解釋君主專制中央集權(quán)制度的含義嗎?【總結(jié)】封建專制主義中央集權(quán)制度包括專制主義和中央集權(quán)制兩個概念。專制主義是就中央的決策方式而言的,主要體現(xiàn)在皇位終身制和世襲制上,特征是皇帝個人獨裁專斷,集國家最高權(quán)力于一身,從決策到行使軍政財權(quán)都具有獨斷性和隨意性;中央集權(quán)則是相對于地方分權(quán)而言,其特點是地方政府在政治、經(jīng)濟、軍事等方面沒有獨立性,必須充分執(zhí)行中央的政令,一切服從于中央。三、秦朝中央集權(quán)制的影響展示圖片:《秦朝疆域圖》正是由于有一個統(tǒng)一集中的中央政權(quán),秦王朝才能積極開拓疆域,北拒匈奴,南吞百越,有利于我國多民族國家統(tǒng)一發(fā)展。為了鞏固統(tǒng)一的國家,秦朝還通過實行哪些措施鞏固統(tǒng)一局面?展示圖片:“秦半兩錢”“秦權(quán)”“小篆”“秦簡”等圖片。正是有一個強有力中央政府,才統(tǒng)一了貨幣、文字、度量衡,才開驛道、修靈渠,從而促進了中國經(jīng)濟文化的發(fā)展進步。展示“孟姜女哭長城”的故事材料從故事及你所掌握的材料中,你認(rèn)為秦朝能否長治久安?為什么?
首先引導(dǎo)回顧細胞質(zhì)內(nèi)各個細胞器的分工協(xié)作、產(chǎn)生分泌蛋白的過程;同時思考:為什么這些細胞器可以這樣有條不紊的密切協(xié)作?這中間有沒有專門起協(xié)調(diào)和控制作用的部門?從而導(dǎo)入本節(jié)內(nèi)容。通過學(xué)生小組討論及師生共同分析“資料分析”中的4個實驗,總結(jié)出細胞核的功能,即細胞核是遺傳信息庫,控制細胞代謝和遺傳的功能。在此基礎(chǔ)上,向?qū)W生舉出克隆羊多莉的實例,加強理解。設(shè)問:那么細胞核為什么能成為細胞代謝和遺傳的控制中心?要弄清這個問題,我們必須從細胞核的結(jié)構(gòu)中尋找答案,從而引出細胞的結(jié)構(gòu)。在這部分,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生思考以下幾個問題:(1)細胞核能控制細胞的遺傳,說明其應(yīng)該有什么物質(zhì)?(2)含有DNA的結(jié)構(gòu)如線粒體、葉綠體,它們的外面都有什么相同的結(jié)構(gòu)?(3)細胞核能控制細胞,肯定能與外界聯(lián)系,如何能辦到?(4)學(xué)習(xí)RNA的分布時,RNA主要分布在細胞質(zhì),少量還分布在哪里呢?
2、教學(xué)目標(biāo)根據(jù)我對教材的理解、結(jié)合學(xué)生的實際情況、滲透新課程的教學(xué)理念,為提高全體學(xué)生的科學(xué)素養(yǎng),按課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn),以促進全體學(xué)生發(fā)展為目的。從知識與技能、過程與方法,情感態(tài)度與價值觀三個方向培養(yǎng)學(xué)生,擬定三個教學(xué)目標(biāo):知識與技能:(1)知道什么是動能。(2)正確理解和運用動能公式分析、解答有關(guān)問題。(3)掌握外力對物體所做的總功的計算,理解“代數(shù)和”的含義。(4)理解和運用動能定理。過程與方法:通過演繹推理過程,培養(yǎng)科學(xué)研究興趣,領(lǐng)略物理學(xué)中所蘊含的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)倪壿嬯P(guān)系。情感、態(tài)度、價值觀:通過運用動能定理分析解決問題,感受成功的喜悅,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生對科學(xué)研究的興趣。3、教學(xué)的重點和難點重點:理解動能定理、應(yīng)用動能定理解決力學(xué)問題。難點:應(yīng)用動能定理解決多個過程的力學(xué)問題,以及變力做功或曲線運動中的動能定理運用。
2、計算天體的質(zhì)量首先觀看多媒體展示天體的運動,同時解釋什么是環(huán)繞天體?什么是中心天體?接著展示相關(guān)問題:①應(yīng)用萬有引力定律求解天體質(zhì)量的基本思路是什么?②求解天體質(zhì)量的方程依據(jù)是什么?教師點撥,學(xué)生分組,合作探究,學(xué)生代表發(fā)言設(shè)計說明通過創(chuàng)設(shè)問題情境,進行由淺至深,由易到難的問題式教學(xué),以激發(fā)學(xué)生的積極思維活動;通過探究讓學(xué)生建立物理模型,分組討論,求解中心天體質(zhì)量的三種表達式。在進行已有知識的遷移時重點重復(fù)環(huán)繞和被繞的關(guān)系,使學(xué)生準(zhǔn)確抓住模型中的各個星體所擔(dān)任的角色。通過小組合作學(xué)習(xí),運用類比歸納法得出正確結(jié)論,掌握求解中心天體質(zhì)量的基本思路,以達到突出教學(xué)重點的目的。3、發(fā)現(xiàn)未知天體通過2個視頻進行了解設(shè)計說明這部分通過視頻主要激發(fā)學(xué)生相信科學(xué),學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué),讓學(xué)生感知人類探索宇宙的夢想,激發(fā)學(xué)生探索科學(xué)奧秘的熱情,培養(yǎng)熱愛科學(xué)的情感,促使學(xué)生樹立獻身科學(xué)的人生價值觀。

二、典例解析例4. 用 10 000元購買某個理財產(chǎn)品一年.(1)若以月利率0.400%的復(fù)利計息,12個月能獲得多少利息(精確到1元)?(2)若以季度復(fù)利計息,存4個季度,則當(dāng)每季度利率為多少時,按季結(jié)算的利息不少于按月結(jié)算的利息(精確到10^(-5))?分析:復(fù)利是指把前一期的利息與本金之和算作本金,再計算下一期的利息.所以若原始本金為a元,每期的利率為r ,則從第一期開始,各期的本利和a , a(1+r),a(1+r)^2…構(gòu)成等比數(shù)列.解:(1)設(shè)這筆錢存 n 個月以后的本利和組成一個數(shù)列{a_n },則{a_n }是等比數(shù)列,首項a_1=10^4 (1+0.400%),公比 q=1+0.400%,所以a_12=a_1 q^11 〖=10〗^4 (1+0.400%)^12≈10 490.7.所以,12個月后的利息為10 490.7-10^4≈491(元).解:(2)設(shè)季度利率為 r ,這筆錢存 n 個季度以后的本利和組成一個數(shù)列{b_n },則{b_n }也是一個等比數(shù)列,首項 b_1=10^4 (1+r),公比為1+r,于是 b_4=10^4 (1+r)^4.
二、典例解析例10. 如圖,正方形ABCD 的邊長為5cm ,取正方形ABCD 各邊的中點E,F,G,H, 作第2個正方形 EFGH,然后再取正方形EFGH各邊的中點I,J,K,L,作第3個正方形IJKL ,依此方法一直繼續(xù)下去. (1) 求從正方形ABCD 開始,連續(xù)10個正方形的面積之和;(2) 如果這個作圖過程可以一直繼續(xù)下去,那么所有這些正方形的面積之和將趨近于多少?分析:可以利用數(shù)列表示各正方形的面積,根據(jù)條件可知,這是一個等比數(shù)列。解:設(shè)正方形的面積為a_1,后續(xù)各正方形的面積依次為a_2, a_(3, ) 〖…,a〗_n,…,則a_1=25,由于第k+1個正方形的頂點分別是第k個正方形各邊的中點,所以a_(k+1)=〖1/2 a〗_k,因此{a_n},是以25為首項,1/2為公比的等比數(shù)列.設(shè){a_n}的前項和為S_n(1)S_10=(25×[1-(1/2)^10 ] )/("1 " -1/2)=50×[1-(1/2)^10 ]=25575/512所以,前10個正方形的面積之和為25575/512cm^2.(2)當(dāng)無限增大時,無限趨近于所有正方形的面積和

The themes of this part are “Talk about how to become an astronaut” and “Talk about life in space”. As Neil Armstrong said “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand. Space is difficult for human to reach, therefore, humans are full of wonders about it. However, if wanting to achieve the dream of reaching the Moon, some of our human should work hard to be an astronaut at first. Part A(Talk about how to become an astronaut) is a radio interview in a radio studio, where the host asked the Chinese astronauts about his story how to become an astronaut. Yang Liwei told his dreamed to be an astronaut since childhood. Then he worked hard to get into college at 22. The next 10 years, he gradually became an experienced pilot. At the same time, to be an astronaut, he had to study hard English, science and astronomy and trained hard to keep in good physical and mental health and to practise using space equipment. Part B (Talk about life in space) is also an interview with the astronaut Brown, who is back on the earth. The host Max asked about his space life, such as his emotion about going back the earth, the eating, shower, brushing, hobbies and his work. Part A and Part B are interviews. So expressing curiosity about the guests’ past life is a communicative skill, which students should be guided to learn.1. Students can get detailed information about how Yang Liwei became an astronaut and Max’s space life.2. Students learn to proper listening strategy to get detailed information---listening for numbers and taking notes.3. Students can learn related sentences or phrases to express their curiosity like “ I wish to know...” “I’d love to know...”4. Students can learn more about the space and astronauts, even be interested in working hard to be an astronaut
⑦在我看來, 探索太空是值得的。As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.Step 10 Writing---draftRecently, students in our class have had heated a discussion on whether space is worth exploring. Students hold different ideas about it.30% of us think space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life and is a waste of money. And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.On the other hand,70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it,such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more,with further space research,we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day.
