Listening and Speaking introduces the topic of “how to save endangered wildlife and help wildlife in their neighborhood.” Due to the continuous deterioration of the living environment, a large number of wild animals are always facing the threat of endangered or extinction. Listening and speaking period enables students to understand the fact and reason why wild species are disappearing from the earth at an amazing speed, and realize that human beings ought to enhance the awareness of protecting wild species as soon as possible.Listening and Talking introduces the theme of " how to help wildlife in Ss’ neighborhood.".

The theme of this unit is human and nature, focusing on the theme of wildlife protection. Nature is a complex ecosystem, in which there are delicate balance between animals and plants. Because of the role of the food chain, the extinction of one species will produce influence, causing a series of chain reaction. Large scale extinction of species will have a serious and even irreversible impact on the ecosystem, resulting in immeasurable losses. Therefore, it is of great significance to protect wild species. To protect wild species is to protect human beings themselves. The motto of this unit is "when the buying stops, the killing can too,” which is a public service advertising slogan to protect wildlife. It tells people that every rhinoceros horn, every fur, every bowl of shark fin soup, every Ivory product, and every tiger bone product, etc. consumed by human beings, are innocent wild animals slaughtered behind them. The mission of wild aid is to ban illegal trade in endangered wildlife and mitigate climate change. It aims to educate the public to reduce the consumption demand for endangered wildlife products through public publicity and improve the awareness of environmental protection.1.

一、引入:教師列舉以下言論,讓學(xué)生辨出哪些是孟子的,哪些不是。學(xué)生不知道的,由教師說出。學(xué)生不理解的,教師作簡要解說。1.天將降大任于是人也,必先苦其心志,勞其筋骨,餓其體膚,空乏其身,行拂亂其所為。所以動心忍性,曾益其所不能。(孟子)2.域民不以封疆之界,固國不以山溪之險,威天下不以兵革之利。得道者多助,失道者寡助。(孟子)3.魚,亦我所欲也,熊掌,亦我所欲也,二者不可得兼,舍魚而取熊掌者也。生,亦我所欲也,義,亦我所欲也,二者不可得兼,舍生而取義者也。(孟子)4.富貴不能淫,貧賤不能移,威武不能屈。(孟子)5.非禮勿視,非禮勿聽,非禮勿言,非禮勿動。(孔子)6.無惻隱之心非人也,無羞惡之心非人也,無辭讓之心非人也,無是非之心非人也。(孟子)7.庖有肥肉,廄有肥馬,民有饑色,野有餓殍。(孟子)8.人性之善也,猶水之就下也;人無有不善,水無有不下。(孟子)9.民為貴,社稷次之,君為輕。(孟子)10.君子坦蕩蕩,小人常戚戚。(孔子)
(一)導(dǎo)入[以視頻欣賞導(dǎo)入]同學(xué)們,剛才欣賞的是大家熟悉、喜歡的電視劇《亮劍》中的精彩片段——李云龍論述什么是“亮劍”精神?同學(xué)們聽后覺得好不好?牛不牛?“亮劍”精神簡單理解就是敢于與強大的敵人(對手)做斗爭,無論對手多么強大,都要滿腔勇氣和信心,永不放棄、永不言敗,要敢于亮劍……今天我們一起來學(xué)習(xí)世界100部著名文學(xué)作品之一、美國里程碑式30部文學(xué)作品之一的世界名著——海明威的《老人與?!罚纯粗魅斯L醽喐纭坝矟h”性格和李云龍“亮劍”精神有么相似的地方。(請同學(xué)們翻到課文,課件顯示課題《老人與海》)(二)走進作者:請同學(xué)們自己談收集到的有關(guān)海明威的資料,然后教師梳理出下列核心內(nèi)容識記:(課件顯示)海明威(1899~1961),美國現(xiàn)代作家,20世紀(jì)美國文學(xué)史上最耀眼的名字之一。早期作品表現(xiàn)了第一次世界大戰(zhàn)青年一代的彷徨情緒,以“迷惘的一代”的代表著稱。20世紀(jì)末回到美國,寫了不小以拳擊家、漁民、獵人等為主人公的短篇小說,創(chuàng)造了“硬漢子”性格。
(1)請同學(xué)們結(jié)合日常生活實例和教材分析說明人類要在世界各地消除貧困并保持人口的合理容量任務(wù)的艱巨性?(2)采取何種措施才能更好的解決這一問題的出現(xiàn)?教師總結(jié)(1)現(xiàn)實中的人口問題(如人口過快增長、人口城市化和人口老齡化等)引發(fā)了嚴(yán)重的資源問題和環(huán)境問題。①發(fā)達國家的人均消耗資源量很大,索取資源和轉(zhuǎn)嫁有害生產(chǎn)的地域超出了本國的范圍。②發(fā)展中國家不僅人口數(shù)量多,人均消費水平低,而且一些國家的人口仍在快速增長。若在現(xiàn)有的經(jīng)濟基礎(chǔ)上,把發(fā)展中國家人均生活質(zhì)量提高到與發(fā)達國家相當(dāng)?shù)乃?,所引發(fā)的資源短缺和環(huán)境問題將會相當(dāng)嚴(yán)重,解決的難度也很大。(2)I就整個世界來說:①國際社會要倡導(dǎo)各國,尤其發(fā)展中國家要盡最大可能把人口控制在合理的規(guī)模之內(nèi);②建立公平的秩序,保證大多數(shù)人擁有不斷追求高水平生活質(zhì)量的平等權(quán)利。
【設(shè)計思想】詩歌教學(xué)的關(guān)鍵是感受詩景,體味詩情,領(lǐng)悟詩意,在此基礎(chǔ)上孕育理解能力、鑒賞能力和審美情感。詩景、詩情、詩意均由文字來承載,把握文字組合的張力,是讀詩賞詩的抓手。杜甫的詩歌素以煉字精深、涵蓋深遠著稱,以《登高》而言,往往淡淡一字,平平一語,便籠大千于方寸,縮古今于一瞬。故細讀文本,咀嚼字句,便是賞景、悟情、會意的基本路徑。其次,不朽名作的特點是寄寓深廣,古今評價甚多,見仁見智,不一而足。這正是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生問題意識、探究意識的極好憑借。第三,詩為語言之精華,是詩人心里涌出的情感之流。誦讀乃賞詩之要著,精心感悟之時,設(shè)身處地,心惟口誦,是理解詩意的關(guān)鍵一步?;谑牵P者作如下同課異構(gòu),殊途同歸?!窘虒W(xué)目標(biāo)】1.理解本詩所繪之景、所抒之情及繪景、抒情之法。2.學(xué)會用意象疊加法、字句推敲法、誦讀體驗法等欣賞詩歌。3.感受杜甫心系蒼生、情寄邦國、憂國憂民、兼濟天下的博大情懷。
請問,作者究竟聽到歌聲沒有?”學(xué)生回答:“沒有。”“這里是比喻,因為這里用得是‘仿佛’一詞……”對,是比喻。也就是說,作者是用歌聲來比喻荷香,是吧?“但是,“荷香與歌聲有什么可比的共同點嗎?”“荷香與歌聲都是斷斷續(xù)續(xù)、若有若無的?!薄岸译鼥V朧的?!薄皩?。“荷香和歌聲都是‘縷縷’的、‘渺?!摹_@是比喻。這是一種特殊的比喻,錢鐘書先生把它叫做‘通感’。人們通過視覺、聽覺、觸覺、味覺、嗅覺等五官感知外界事物時,在一般情況下,彼此不能交錯;但在特殊情況下,五官功能卻能出現(xiàn)互相轉(zhuǎn)化、彼此溝通的現(xiàn)象叫“通感”,也叫“移覺”。舉幾個例子來說明:詩人艾青曾寫詩這樣描繪日本著名指揮家小澤征爾:‘你的耳朵在偵察,你的眼睛在傾聽……’這也是通感。又如:“那笛聲里有故鄉(xiāng)綠色平原上青草的香味,有四月的龍眼花的香味,有太陽的光明?!保üL(fēng)《葉笛》)
三、指導(dǎo)第一段的背誦,點撥理解句意,強調(diào)關(guān)鍵詞語,注重文言基礎(chǔ)知識教學(xué)。過程中要讓學(xué)生反復(fù)讀背。背誦線索:時間——地點——事件——人物——環(huán)境——活動——天氣——感覺。時間:永和九年,歲在癸丑,暮春之初。地點:會于會稽山陰之蘭亭。事件:修稧事也。人物:群賢畢至,少長咸集。環(huán)境:此地有崇山峻嶺,茂林修竹;又有清流激湍,映帶左右?;顒樱阂詾榱饔x曲水,列坐其次。雖無絲竹管弦之盛,一觴一詠,亦足以暢敘幽情。天氣:是日也,天朗氣清,惠風(fēng)和暢。感覺:仰觀宇宙之大,俯察品類之盛,所以極視聽之娛,信可樂也。四、學(xué)生自讀背誦5分鐘。五、抽一至二名學(xué)生試背課文,教師可作必要的線索提示。第二課時一、聽名家示范朗誦,學(xué)生小聲跟讀。二、復(fù)習(xí)鞏固第一自然段的閱讀背誦。三、朗讀、解析第二自然段,理解文章“由敘入感”的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)。
【明確】“一夫當(dāng)關(guān),萬夫莫開”言劍閣有易守難攻的險要形勢,暗示中央朝廷的部隊很不容易打進來,因而野心家可以據(jù)險發(fā)動叛亂,“化為狼與豺”,搞地方割據(jù)。如果割據(jù)勢力之間出現(xiàn)矛盾沖突,難免要發(fā)生混戰(zhàn),結(jié)果必定是“殺人如麻”。詩人這番預(yù)言在十多年后就得到了證實:從上元二年到大歷初即有段子璋、徐知道、崔旰等人相繼發(fā)動叛亂。詩人的意圖是要嚴(yán)防野心家發(fā)難。詩人從劍閣的險要引出對政治形勢的描寫。他化用西晉張載《劍閣銘》中形勝之地,匪親勿居的語句,目的在于勸人引以為鑒戒,警惕戰(zhàn)亂的發(fā)生,并聯(lián)系當(dāng)時的社會背景,揭露了蜀中豺狼的磨牙吮血,殺人如麻,這既是描寫蜀道猛獸,又是影射政治黑暗的雙關(guān)語句,表達了對國事的憂慮與關(guān)切,為詩篇增加了現(xiàn)實的內(nèi)涵、深厚的意蘊。唐天寶初年,太平景象背后正潛伏著危機,后來發(fā)生的安史之亂,證明詩人的憂慮是有現(xiàn)實意義的。
1.知識與能力:(1)通過引導(dǎo)學(xué)生分析鑒賞19世紀(jì)以來有代表性的音樂與美術(shù)作品,了解這些作品產(chǎn)生的時代背景及其藝術(shù)價值。(2)通過分析世界藝術(shù)產(chǎn)生的歷史背景,可以幫助學(xué)生正確認(rèn)識人類文化的多樣性、時代性和民族性,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生結(jié)合歷史背景分析歷史問題的能力。(3)通過對19世紀(jì)以來的音樂與美術(shù)史實的分析、綜合、比較、歸納、概括等認(rèn)知活動,培養(yǎng)歷史思維和解決問題的能力。2.過程與方法:(1)讓學(xué)生在搜集資料、自主探究、合作交流過程中,發(fā)展學(xué)生在社會中學(xué)習(xí)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)、終身學(xué)習(xí)的能力。(2)通過上網(wǎng)了解藝術(shù)大師及分析鑒賞其各類美術(shù)、音樂作品,感受其藝術(shù)價值。 (3)思維方法:學(xué)會知識遷移,在從感知歷史到不斷積累歷史知識,進而不斷加深對歷史和現(xiàn)實的理解過程中,提高分析理解問題能力。學(xué)會善于從不同的角度發(fā)現(xiàn)問題,積極探索解決問題的方法,從而做到論從史出、史論結(jié)合。
材料五航路開辟后,東方香料輸入歐洲的總量較中古之時猛增30倍,而胡椒、丁香等在印度購入和在英國賣出的差價亦高達10至29倍,其他貨物的獲利同樣驚人。這一時期,新的商品不斷涌現(xiàn),特別值得注意的是美洲的特產(chǎn)——玉米、馬鈴薯、煙草、可可等——被傳播到歐亞大陸。這時,世界性的對外貿(mào)易主要通過大西洋,地中海與意大利皆告衰落,而沿大洋的英、荷等漸居中心。到17世紀(jì)時,英國的倫敦與荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹成為世界貿(mào)易中心。問題4:材料五表明,新航路開辟后對世界貿(mào)易產(chǎn)生了哪些重大影響?答案4:結(jié)束了世界相對孤立狀態(tài);各地文明開始會合交流,日益連成一個整體;歐洲商人直接同世界各地建立商業(yè)聯(lián)系;促進不同國家和貿(mào)易的發(fā)展,促進世界市場雛形開始出現(xiàn)。
The theme of the reading and thinking is about “Understanding how a problem was solved”.The Listening & Speaking & Talking is about international co-work to protect the Mount Tai, in which the students from seven countries came up with many solutions even create the Mount Tai App. This section aims at showing how to solve a difficult and even tough problem about protecting the cultural heritage by the international co-work. So in this section, cultivating students’ international awareness is very clear and important. Concretely, with the economic development, how to balance the protection of cultural relics and social development is a big challenge for human. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build the Aswan Dam across the Nile to control floods, produce electricity and water farms. But the proposal led to protests because it would destroy a lot of cultural relics. The Egyptian had no choice but ask the UN for help. Therefore, a international cooperation about how to protect the cultural relics began, which involved the time length about 20 years and a large amount of fund. Then, the problems was solved. 1.

This unit is about history and traditions. From the opening page, we can know that this unit will introduce the history and traditions around the world. As Marcus Garvey says “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”, it is important for students to realize the importance and value of knowing the history and traditions and their further meanings. And this part ( listening and speaking ) is divided into two parts: Part A---share views on historic sites, Part B ---talk about a visit to a historic tourist destination. By talking with a foreigner, the speakers introduce the historic attractions and their cultures. Part A is that William, a British student, who was going to visit the Confucius Temple and a Chinese student, Xiao Kong, who was going to the Confucius Temple to meet with the members of the research group, went together and exchanged their views on the Confucius Temple, Confucius, Confucius' descendants and Confucius' educational thoughts. Part B is a conversation between Xiao Yan, a youth hostel receptionist and Paul, a backpacker about the feelings and experience after visiting the Chinese famous tourist attraction Pingyao.1. Guide students to understand the content of listening texts in terms of the whole and key details; 2. Cultivate students' ability to guess the meaning of words in listening; discuss with their peers how to talk about historic spots and great person.3. Instruct students to use functional sentences of showing one’s excitement, surprise and disappointment.1.
