2學情分析二年級學生活潑可愛,思維獨特,喜歡按照自己的想法自由地表現(xiàn)畫面。好奇心強,愛表現(xiàn)自己,但動手能力較差,只能用簡單的工具和繪畫材料來稚拙地表現(xiàn)自己的想法。本課以學生親切、熟悉的名字為題材,更好的激發(fā)學生的表現(xiàn)欲望和獨創(chuàng)思維,讓學生能夠自信、大膽、自由地通過美術(shù)形式表達想法與感情。3重點難點重點:設(shè)計具有自己特色的名字。難點:能對名字的字形進行分析,巧妙地運用筆畫特征進行想象設(shè)計。教學活動
四、說教學環(huán)節(jié)1、復習舊知,揭題導入教師用課件展示毛澤東同志對魯迅先生的評價語,導入:毛澤東同志一連用了5個“最”字,論定了魯迅先生在中國現(xiàn)代文化史上的無可替代的地位。1936年10月16日,魯迅先生因病逝世,臨終他說,“趕快收殮,埋掉,拉倒”,“忘記我,管自己的生活”。然而,人們真的那么容易忘掉他嗎?事隔十三年后,詩人臧克家在北京參觀了魯迅故居,有感而發(fā),寫下了詩歌《有的人》。今天,我們就來學習這首詩歌。看到題目,你們對這首詩歌會有什么問題?理解題目的意思嗎?你想從中知道什么呢?(設(shè)計意圖:引用偉人對魯迅先生的評價,為學生理解本課的內(nèi)容和思想定下基調(diào),為下面的學習鋪墊。同時讓學生對學習內(nèi)容發(fā)出疑問,產(chǎn)生學習的興趣和動力。)
(二)過程與方法:1、通過拼讀、練習、組詞等方法達到正確讀寫本課生字、新詞的目的;2、通過默讀、指導感情朗讀等多種形式的朗讀訓練,質(zhì)疑、討論、小組合作學習等形式的學習,達到理解含義深刻的句子,體會文章的思想感情的目的;3、通過教師指導、學生獨立思考完成填空練習的方法,學習掌握作者抓住人物語言、動作、神態(tài)描寫表現(xiàn)人物品質(zhì)的方法。(三)情感、態(tài)度與價值觀:通過本課的學習,讓學生感受魯迅先生愛憎分明,為自己想得少,為別人想得多的崇高品質(zhì),從而激發(fā)學生對魯迅先生的崇敬之情。(四)教學重點:引導學生學習作者抓住人物語言、動作、神態(tài)描寫表現(xiàn)人物品質(zhì)的方法。(五)教學難點:理解4句含義深刻的句子,感受魯迅先生的崇高品質(zhì)。
學生閱讀教材第4頁正文的文本,結(jié)合課前搜集到的紀律、道德與法律關(guān)系的相關(guān)資料,先在小組內(nèi)討論:你認為違反法律的后果和違反學校紀律的后果是一樣的嗎?再小組之間進行辯論,教師相機引導。板書:法律與紀律、道德等社會規(guī)范不同。設(shè)計意圖:引導學生理解法律與紀律、道德等社會規(guī)范不同。環(huán)節(jié)三:課堂小結(jié),內(nèi)化提升學生談一談學習本節(jié)課的收獲,教師相機引導。設(shè)計意圖:梳理總結(jié)本節(jié)課的主要內(nèi)容,體驗收獲與成功的喜悅,內(nèi)化提升認識與情感。環(huán)節(jié)四:布置作業(yè),課外延伸生活中,在行使權(quán)利的同時,履行好我們的義務。設(shè)計意圖:將課堂所學延伸到學生的日常生活中,有利于落實行為實踐。六、板書設(shè)計為了突出重點,讓學生整體上感知本節(jié)課的主要內(nèi)容,我將以思維導圖的形式設(shè)計板書:在黑板中上方的中間位置是課題《感受生活中的法律》,下面是:法律是什么;學生說到的權(quán)利和義務;法律與紀律、道德等社會規(guī)范不同。
三是:裝修不應該打擾鄰居的正常休息。如果你是事件中的受害方,你會如何處理這件事情?全班匯報交流,教師相機引導,板書:權(quán)利不是絕對的,是有界限的。設(shè)計意圖:引導學生體會權(quán)利行使的界限。環(huán)節(jié)三:課堂小結(jié),內(nèi)化提升學生談一談學習本節(jié)課的收獲,教師相機引導。設(shè)計意圖:梳理總結(jié),體驗收獲與成功的喜悅,內(nèi)化提升學生的認識與情感。環(huán)節(jié)四:布置作業(yè),課外延伸課后,以古老而優(yōu)美的漢字為主題辦一期手抄報。設(shè)計意圖:將課堂所學延伸到學生的日常生活中,有利于落實行為實踐。六、板書設(shè)計為了突出重點,讓學生整體上感知本節(jié)課的主要內(nèi)容,我將以思維導圖的形式設(shè)計板書:在黑板中上方的中間位置是課題《公民的基本權(quán)利》,下面是:憲法是公民權(quán)利的保障書;法律保障公民基本權(quán)利的落實;權(quán)利不是絕對的,是有界限的。
尊敬的老師、親愛的同學們:大家上午好!我是來自六年級四班的的董一諾。今天,我代表全體XX級畢業(yè)生,最后一次站在主席臺上,感謝母校對我們六年來的培育。花開花落,歲月匆匆,轉(zhuǎn)眼間,我們小學六年的時光就要結(jié)束了,母校的一草一木、一磚一瓦都刻滿了我們成長的足跡。每一聲歡笑,每一滴淚水,每一次揮灑汗水,都使我難以忘懷。如今我們即將告別母校,一股眷戀之情,從我心底油然而生。感恩母校,讓我們在知識的海洋里盡情遨游,讓我們在良好的環(huán)境下茁壯成長,讓文明、優(yōu)雅、禮儀,成為相伴我們一生的好習慣。感謝您對我們六年來健康成長的哺育!今天,我們在您的懷抱里感到幸福,明天,我們一定不忘校風校紀,讓您因我們而榮光!
4.寫出下列隨機變量可能取的值,并說明隨機變量所取的值表示的隨機試驗的結(jié)果.(1)一個袋中裝有8個紅球,3個白球,從中任取5個球,其中所含白球的個數(shù)為X.(2)一個袋中有5個同樣大小的黑球,編號為1,2,3,4,5,從中任取3個球,取出的球的最大號碼記為X.(3). 在本例(1)條件下,規(guī)定取出一個紅球贏2元,而每取出一個白球輸1元,以ξ表示贏得的錢數(shù),結(jié)果如何?[解] (1)X可取0,1,2,3.X=0表示取5個球全是紅球;X=1表示取1個白球,4個紅球;X=2表示取2個白球,3個紅球;X=3表示取3個白球,2個紅球.(2)X可取3,4,5.X=3表示取出的球編號為1,2,3;X=4表示取出的球編號為1,2,4;1,3,4或2,3,4.X=5表示取出的球編號為1,2,5;1,3,5;1,4,5;2,3,5;2,4,5或3,4,5.(3) ξ=10表示取5個球全是紅球;ξ=7表示取1個白球,4個紅球;ξ=4表示取2個白球,3個紅球;ξ=1表示取3個白球,2個紅球.
溫故知新 1.離散型隨機變量的定義可能取值為有限個或可以一一列舉的隨機變量,我們稱為離散型隨機變量.通常用大寫英文字母表示隨機變量,例如X,Y,Z;用小寫英文字母表示隨機變量的取值,例如x,y,z.隨機變量的特點: 試驗之前可以判斷其可能出現(xiàn)的所有值,在試驗之前不可能確定取何值;可以用數(shù)字表示2、隨機變量的分類①離散型隨機變量:X的取值可一、一列出;②連續(xù)型隨機變量:X可以取某個區(qū)間內(nèi)的一切值隨機變量將隨機事件的結(jié)果數(shù)量化.3、古典概型:①試驗中所有可能出現(xiàn)的基本事件只有有限個;②每個基本事件出現(xiàn)的可能性相等。二、探究新知探究1.拋擲一枚骰子,所得的點數(shù)X有哪些值?取每個值的概率是多少? 因為X取值范圍是{1,2,3,4,5,6}而且"P(X=m)"=1/6,m=1,2,3,4,5,6.因此X分布列如下表所示
一、 問題導學前面兩節(jié)所討論的變量,如人的身高、樹的胸徑、樹的高度、短跑100m世界紀錄和創(chuàng)紀錄的時間等,都是數(shù)值變量,數(shù)值變量的取值為實數(shù).其大小和運算都有實際含義.在現(xiàn)實生活中,人們經(jīng)常需要回答一定范圍內(nèi)的兩種現(xiàn)象或性質(zhì)之間是否存在關(guān)聯(lián)性或相互影響的問題.例如,就讀不同學校是否對學生的成績有影響,不同班級學生用于體育鍛煉的時間是否有差別,吸煙是否會增加患肺癌的風險,等等,本節(jié)將要學習的獨立性檢驗方法為我們提供了解決這類問題的方案。在討論上述問題時,為了表述方便,我們經(jīng)常會使用一種特殊的隨機變量,以區(qū)別不同的現(xiàn)象或性質(zhì),這類隨機變量稱為分類變量.分類變量的取值可以用實數(shù)表示,例如,學生所在的班級可以用1,2,3等表示,男性、女性可以用1,0表示,等等.在很多時候,這些數(shù)值只作為編號使用,并沒有通常的大小和運算意義,本節(jié)我們主要討論取值于{0,1}的分類變量的關(guān)聯(lián)性問題.

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.
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. Are there any grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors ?Step 9 HomeworkPut up your revised draft in the classroom or read it to your class.
另一方面,其余的人反對這個計劃,因為它可能會導致一些不好的影響。7.I hold the belief that space exploration not only enable us to understand how the universe began but also help us survived well into the future.我堅信探索太空不僅能夠使我們了解宇宙的起源而且能夠幫助我們更好地走進未來。8.I think we should spend more time and money exploring space so as to provide new and better solutions to people's shortterm and longterm problems.為了給人類的短期和長期問題提供更新和更好的解決方法,我認為我們應該花更多的時間和金錢來探索太空。9.From my point of view,it is wrong of young people to depend on their telephones too much,which may do harm to both their physical and mental health.在我看來,年輕人過度依賴手機是不對的,因為它們可能會對他們的身心健康都有害。最近你班同學就“人類是否應該進行宇宙探索”這個問題進行了激烈的討論。有人認為,探索宇宙不僅讓人類更好地了解宇宙的發(fā)展,還可以用來指導農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn),以及把一些探索太空的高新技術(shù)用于現(xiàn)實生活;也有一些人認為探索太空花掉了大量的人力物力;影響了人們的生活水平。請你根據(jù)以下情況寫一篇報告并發(fā)表自己的觀點。注意:1.寫作內(nèi)容應包括以上全部要點,可適當發(fā)揮,使上下文連貫;

What disease do you think is similar to cholera today?SARS and Covid-19 because they are both deadly and fatally infectious, have an unknown cause and need serious public health care to solve them urgently.keys:1. John Snow finally proved his idea because he found an outbreak that was clearly related to cholera, collected information and was able to tie cases outside the area to the polluted water.2. No. The map helped John Snow organize his ideas. He was able to identify those households that had had many deaths and check their water-drinking habits. He identified those houses that had had no deaths and surveyed their drinking habits. The evidence clearly pointed to the polluted water being the cause.3. SARS and Covid-19 because they are both deadly and fatally infectious, have an unknown cause and need serious public health care to solve them urgently.Step 6: Consolidate what you have learned by filling in the blanks:John Snow was a well-known _1___ in London in the _2__ century.

This happens because the dish soap molecules have a strong negative charge, and the milk molecules have a strong positive charge. Like magnets, these molecules are attracted to each other, and so they appear to move around on the plate, taking the food coloring with them, making it look like the colors are quickly moving to escape from the soap.Listening text:? Judy: Oh, I'm so sorry that you were ill and couldn't come with us on our field trip. How are you feeling now? Better?? Bill: Much better, thanks. But how was it?? Judy: Wonderful! I especially liked an area of the museum called Light Games.it was really cool. They had a hall of mirrors where I could see myself reflected thousands of times!? Bill: A hall of mirrors can be a lot of fun. What else did they have?? Judy: Well, they had an experiment where we looked at a blue screen for a while, and then suddenly we could see tiny bright lights moving around on it. You'll never guess what those bright lights were!? Bill: Come on, tell me!? Judy: They were our own blood cells. For some reason, our eyes play tricks on us when we look at a blue screen, and we can see our own blood cells moving around like little lights! But there was another thing I liked better. I stood in front of a white light, and it cast different shadows of me in every color of the rainbow!? Bill: Oh, I wish I had been there. Tell me more!? Judy: Well, they had another area for sound. They had a giant piano keyboard that you could use your feet to play. But then, instead of playing the sounds of a piano, it played the voices of classical singers! Then they had a giant dish, and when you spoke into it, it reflected the sound back and made it louder. You could use it to speak in a whisper to someone 17 meters away.? Bill: It all sounds so cool. I wish I could have gone with you? Judy: I know, but we can go together this weekend. I'd love to go there again!? Bill: That sounds like a great idea!

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.
