一、導(dǎo)入新課人類社會越來越現(xiàn)代化,新科學(xué)技術(shù)日新月異,令人目不暇接,稱之到了“知識爆炸”的時代也毫不為過。由此而來的是生活的快節(jié)奏,學(xué)習(xí)和工作的競爭也越來越激烈。這種競爭一直波及到了兒童,加之中國幾千年來形成的望子成龍的傳統(tǒng)觀念,使作父母的把一切希望都寄托在孩子身上,實現(xiàn)自己未能實現(xiàn)的理想。祖孫三代4、2、1的局面,使12只眼睛都盯在了孩子身上,真是走路怕摔著,吃飯怕噎著,干活怕累著,要星星不敢摘月亮,要吃什么跑遍全城也要買來。這種過分保護、溺愛及過早地灌輸知識會得到什么結(jié)果呢?樂觀者說孩子越來越聰明,越來越早熟,將來能更好適應(yīng)現(xiàn)代化的要求;悲觀者則認為豆芽菜式的孩子將來經(jīng)不起風(fēng)浪,小皇帝太多了很難凝聚成統(tǒng)一力量,將來誰去當(dāng)兵,誰去干那些艱苦創(chuàng)業(yè)性工作……。對孩子本身來說,是幸福還是……在此不想多發(fā)議論,還是讓我們來看看動物世界的孩子們吧,也許會得到某種啟迪。
(1)“問君西游何時還……使人聽此凋朱顏?!痹婎}下未注明送何人入蜀,所以這里的“問君”無妨假定實有其人,可以讀得親切一些。將行而問“何時還”,已有不可行之意,重音要落在“不可攀”三字上,當(dāng)用勸說的語氣讀。以下四句借鳥聲渲染旅途中悲涼凄清的氛圍,讀時要放低聲調(diào),有干里孤身之感,至“愁空山”徐徐而上。然后用感喟的語調(diào)讀主旨句,至“凋朱顏”略作一頓,以示意猶未盡。(2)“連峰去天不盈尺……胡為乎來哉!”仍是說不可行,但內(nèi)容加深了一層,因為說的是蜀道的險惡。前四句不是純客觀的描寫,讀時須設(shè)想這是旅游者攀援于“連峰”“絕壁”之上置身于“飛湍瀑流”之間,要使聽者感到驚心動魄。讀后可作稍長停頓,再用“其險也如此”緩緩收住。末句是詩人借用蜀人的口氣,對歷險而來的游者深表嘆息——“胡為乎來哉”不是詢問,當(dāng)用降調(diào)讀,暗含“何苦而來”之意。
(有的恒星旋轉(zhuǎn)平穩(wěn)均衡,有些恒星是因快速旋轉(zhuǎn)而變了形。作者以擬人的手法,生動形象地描述,仿佛向我們展示了不同恒星的性情:有的穩(wěn)重沉靜,有的急切躁動。讀來生動有趣,妙趣橫生。)(3)我們探索宇宙的時候,既要勇于懷疑,又要富于想象。想象經(jīng)常能夠把我們帶領(lǐng)到嶄新的世界,沒有想象,我們就處處碰壁。懷疑可以使我們擺脫幻想,還可以檢驗我們的推測。(對于未知領(lǐng)域的探索是需要懷疑和想象的,想象是科學(xué)的翅膀,敢于想象,并不斷地探索驗證,所謂“大膽假設(shè),小心求證”懷疑否定舊知,產(chǎn)生新知。作者以簡潔的語言闡述了想象和懷疑看似矛盾的兩者在宇宙探索中的相輔相成,和諧統(tǒng)一。作者不囿于介紹宇宙知識,還發(fā)表自己的見解。)(4)我認為宇宙里很可能到處都充滿著生命,只是我們?nèi)祟惿形窗l(fā)現(xiàn)而已。我們的探索才剛剛開始。
(一)解題:包身工──舊社會一種變相的販賣奴隸的形式。被販賣的多是女孩子由承辦人送到工廠做工,無人身自由,所得工資全部歸承辦人所有,在這種形式下做工的人也稱包身工。包身工是指二三十年代(時間),在上海東洋紗廠里(地點),為外國人工作的女工(工作性質(zhì))。因為這些女工在進廠時已經(jīng)簽訂了賣身契,失去了人身的自由權(quán),所以被稱為“包身工”。標(biāo)題中的“包身”二字,突出了帝國主義、封建勢力對中國女童工的殘酷剝削的罪行,控訴了他們的野蠻殘暴的統(tǒng)治手段,以激起人們的義憤和同情,這是全文的中心思想。(二)關(guān)于報告文學(xué):《包身工》屬于報告文學(xué)。(同類題材有初中的《地質(zhì)之光》、《誰是最可愛的人》)報告文學(xué),是文學(xué)體裁的一種,散文的一類,是文藝通訊、速寫、特寫的總稱,是文學(xué)創(chuàng)作中的“輕騎兵”。
學(xué)法指導(dǎo):高一學(xué)生對文言文閱讀已具備了一些基礎(chǔ)知識和積累,但對如何學(xué)習(xí)文言文,還是一個新課題,因此教師應(yīng)引導(dǎo)學(xué)生掌握學(xué)習(xí)方法,運用已有的知識框架同化新信息,建立新的智能,逐步走向獨立學(xué)習(xí)的境界。一、引導(dǎo)學(xué)生利用課文注釋,使用工具書自己翻譯,必要時教師進行點撥、解難,培養(yǎng)自學(xué)能力。二、告訴學(xué)生翻譯文言文要遵循的原則。三、調(diào)動學(xué)生思考、討論、交流的積極性,教師適時點撥,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)問題、解決問題的能力。四、提示學(xué)生反復(fù)誦讀課文,體會文章所闡述的道理。五、鼓勵學(xué)生及時歸納學(xué)習(xí)文言文的方法,注意積累文言文知識。教學(xué)程序:教學(xué)本課可安排2課時。第一課時:1、導(dǎo)入新課:首先給學(xué)生介紹毛澤東的七絕詩《為李進同志題所攝廬山仙人洞照》:“暮色蒼??磩潘?,亂云飛渡仍從容。天生一個仙人洞,無限風(fēng)光在險峰?!睂W(xué)生通過誦讀領(lǐng)會了“無限風(fēng)光在險峰”一句的含義。隨后因勢利導(dǎo),引出課題,指出今天我們要學(xué)習(xí)的王安石的《游褒禪山記》,就含有類似的深邃哲理。
說教材A.教材簡析《琵琶行(并序)》是人教版《普通高中課程標(biāo)準實驗教科書語文》必修3第二單元的一篇講讀課文。本單元學(xué)習(xí)的是唐代詩歌,共七首詩?!杜眯校ú⑿颍肥翘拼F(xiàn)實主義詩人白居易寫的一首歌行體長篇敘事詩,是我國古代敘事詩和音樂詩中的“千古絕喝”。詩歌主題鮮明、人物形象生動,抒情真切細膩,具有深刻的思想內(nèi)容和卓越的藝術(shù)技巧。B.教學(xué)目標(biāo)《全日制普通高中高級中學(xué)語文教學(xué)大綱》明確要求我們:在閱讀教學(xué)過程中要引導(dǎo)學(xué)生“感受文學(xué)形象,品味文學(xué)作品的語言和藝術(shù)技巧,初步鑒賞文學(xué)作品”。而本單元的教學(xué)要求是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生詩歌鑒賞的能力。根據(jù)教學(xué)大綱和單元教學(xué)要求,結(jié)合本課特點,我制定本課的教學(xué)目標(biāo)是:1.知識目標(biāo):了解文學(xué)常識;積累重點文言實詞;品味主旨句“同是天涯淪落人,相逢何必曾相識”的內(nèi)涵;感知作者把音樂描寫與聽者、演奏者的感情融為一體的寫作特點。
請一位朗誦水平較好的學(xué)生,有感情的朗讀課文12自然段,其他同學(xué)完成一項任務(wù):這一段可否去掉?為什么?學(xué)生思考、圈畫、交流、討論,然后小組發(fā)言,其他小組補充,教師從旁予以點撥,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生進一步明確作者的思想情感。明確:作者要創(chuàng)造一種文化氛圍,于自然氣息之外再添一重文化氣息,與“故都”題旨暗合。從行文章法上看,這里是宕開文筆,縱橫議論,顯出深厚的文化底蘊和開闊的思路。這一段采用議論,通過古今中外的引證,說明感秋處處有,中國文人最突出,而秋“深味”非在中國北方莫屬,這其實還是為了突出故都之秋。(設(shè)計意圖:提高學(xué)生探究的能力,充分把握本文的教學(xué)內(nèi)容,深刻體悟作者的情感,了解作者對秋的禮贊情感,從而突破教學(xué)難點。)

Be sure they have twice as many sets of cards as there are students in the group. They can make two sets of cards for a single job / workplace, if necessary. Then have each group mix up its set of cards and hand their cards out in random order. Each time a student gets a pair of cards that match, he or she can lay these cards down. The goal is to have no cards in your hand at the end.3.

單元整體說明(一)單元教材分析本單元的核心話題是描述動物和表達個人喜好,以及句式why do you like…? Because…。這也是本單元的教學(xué)重點。通過本單元的學(xué)習(xí),學(xué)生應(yīng)能較流利地運用所學(xué)詞匯和句型描述動物,表達個人喜好。(二)單元知識結(jié)構(gòu)1.詞匯動物名稱 tiger, elephant, koala, dolphin, etc.詞匯描述性形容詞: smart, cute, ugly, clever, shy, etc.國家名: Australia, South Africa2.句型Why do you like koala hears?

教學(xué)重點和難點:運用所掌握的語言描述,比較不同地點的特點。在練習(xí)中學(xué)習(xí)掌握英語比較級和最高級的用法。課前準備分配小組,每組五至六人。通過上網(wǎng)或翻閱報刊雜志等方法,確定旅游線路,做出基本的旅游計劃。教學(xué)設(shè)計:本節(jié)課流程圖 學(xué)法指導(dǎo):1.由于這是一堂新課,在教學(xué)中應(yīng)注意面向全體,發(fā)揮學(xué)生的主體性,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生積極參與,激發(fā)學(xué)生的求知欲和學(xué)習(xí)積極性,指導(dǎo)學(xué)生積極思維,主動獲取知識,養(yǎng)成良好的學(xué)習(xí)方法。逐步學(xué)會獨立解決問題??傊M可能調(diào)動學(xué)生的非智力因素促進智力因素的發(fā)展。教法選擇:1.電化教學(xué)法2.課堂討論法3.任務(wù)型教學(xué)法采用這些方法的目的是為了充分調(diào)動學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)積極性,使學(xué)生變被動學(xué)習(xí)為主動學(xué)習(xí)。通過電腦形象的演示,加強印象,提高興趣,突破難點,提高教學(xué)效率,進而增大教學(xué)的容量和信息量。充分體現(xiàn)教師為主導(dǎo),學(xué)生為主體的教學(xué)原則。
區(qū)分賓語從句、定于從句和狀語從句賓語從句和狀語從句,都叫做主從復(fù)合句。賓語從句主要是中考必考的,是初中階段必掌握的從句,賓語從句主要是掌握三要素,所謂賓語從句,就是賓語在主從復(fù)合句當(dāng)中充當(dāng)賓語的一個句子,叫做賓語從句。主句的謂語動詞是及物動詞,后面如果是詞或者是短語的話,是簡單句,如果是句子的話,肯定是賓語從句。I know that he good at English.就是賓語從句,三要素,一要素是要注意連詞,連詞一共學(xué)了三類連詞,一類連詞是that口語當(dāng)中可以省略,就像剛才說的那一句,I hear he is good at English.還有疑問代詞、疑問副詞,how where when,疑問代詞、疑問副詞。還有一類連詞weather是否的意思,不是狀語從句當(dāng)中的如果,這一定要和如果區(qū)分開,這是是否。I don't know if he interested at English。賓語從句要注意if是連詞。第二要素是語序,要用陳述舉語序。比如說你家有幾口人,我們都說How many people are there in you family?但是這是簡單句,一旦說成賓語從句,你可以告訴我你家有幾口人嗎?Could you tell me how many people there are in you family ?

Don’t fight. =You can’t fight. (板書,教讀)教師把這些句子板書在黑板上,并請學(xué)生大聲整齊地讀祈使句和“can’t”句型,并讓學(xué)生注意兩種句型表達形式的不同和轉(zhuǎn)換,“Don’t …=You can’t…”;并對學(xué)生說:These are our school rules.

1. First, ... then, ... next, ... finally, ...首先,……然后,……接著,……最后,……這是英語中表達做某事的步驟的一種說法。如果步驟較多,還可以說:first-next-after that-later on-finally/at last通常你會聽到說英語國家的人在說 first, next, then, finally 和后面的內(nèi)容時,他們會做一些停頓。這樣就能提前告訴聽者接下來講的是一系列的步驟。這一點在朗讀和聽力中應(yīng)特別注意。2. how many, how much均為疑問詞,同是“多少”,但用法不同。請看:how many修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù),how much修飾不可數(shù)名詞。但在用法上,同學(xué)們常犯如下錯誤:1) [誤] How many are there bananas on the table?[正] How many bananas are there on the table?[析] how many, how much 中的many,much是形容詞,常修飾名詞作定語,故后面跟名詞。2) [誤]How much tea are there on the table?[正]How much tea is there on the table?[析] how much修飾不可數(shù)名詞時,謂語動詞用單數(shù)。how many與how much的區(qū)別可簡記為:前how many:問“多少”,復(fù)數(shù)名詞后面跑;how much問“多少”,不可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)好。前者答語用基數(shù)詞,后者答語用數(shù)量關(guān)系。
“Go for it!” is based on “Task-Based Language Teaching”. It adheres to “The authenticity principle”, “The form-function principle”, “The task dependency principle” and “The principle of learning by doing”. These principles all accord with the demands of curriculum focus.In and of Grade Seven (II), “Go for it!”, students have learned “The Simple Past Tense”. And it appears again in of Grade Eight (I). teaches students more about how to talk about events in the past. In addition, it gives affirmative and negative statements in the past tense, such as the sentence patterns “Did you see …?” “Were there …?” “Did you go …?” As the first part of Unit 8, Section A opens with a picture presenting the last school trip in the aquarium and continues with several step-by-step practice activities, which are all good for students to master “The Simple Past Tense”. Doing well in Section A will help students integrate the new target language with that in Section B. Thus, they can describe the events in the past freely and foster their own ability of reflecting and practicing. II. Teaching ObjectivesTeaching objective is the beginning and aim of teaching activities. According to the overall goal of the English elementary course--- improve students' synthetic ability of language application, which should be based on the development of students’ “Language knowledge”, “Language skills”, “Character building”, “Learning strategies” and “Cross-cultural awareness”. The teaching objectives are described as follows(I). Knowledge objectivesi. Master the simple past tense of regular and irregular verbsii. Recite the new words and expressions about the last school trip in the aquarium, including their pronunciation and intonation
