高中英语研究性学习案例.doc

高中英语研究性学习案例课题名称：（NSEFC BOOK 5）Unit 1 Great scientists学校及班级：广东省江门市江海中学 指导教师：梁慧怡 授课教师：梁慧怡 课时：约3课时研究性学习理论：研究性学习指在教学过程中以问题为载体，创设一种类似科学研究的情景和途径，让学生通过自己收集、分析处理信息来实际感受和体验知识的产生过程，让学生学会学习，培养他们分析问题，解决问题的能力和创造能力。研究性学习的核心是要改变学生的学习方式，它强调一种主动探究式的学习方式，培养学生创新精神和实践能力，培养学生的合作意识和团队精神，是推进素质教育的一种新的尝试。英语研究性学习活动的开展：英语学科开展研究性学习活动应把教材与研究课题、课内与课外紧密结合起来，走一条从教材出发，以教学单元的话题为轴心，衍生、辐射到书本之外的研究性学习之路，让书本之外的课题研究反过来促进英语学科的课内知识的学习，做到两者相关相连，互补互动，以此促进学生综合运用英语能力的提高。 选题背景： 1、帮助学生了解杰出的科学家的事迹，培养学生探究科学、崇尚科学的精神和正确的科学观，使学生懂得科学探求的步骤和方法。 2、通过开展研究性学习活动，锻炼学生查找、搜集资料的能力，小组合作的意识和交际能力，发现问题并解决问题的能力和创新能力。 活动对象：江门市江海中学高二（7）班全体同学 活动方式：上网查找、搜集资料，去图书馆查找资料，小组合作制作课件，在课 堂上展示研究成果，交流研究的心得体会。 活动过程： 第一阶段：课前准备 按照英语教学的需要，依据学生的学业水平、能力倾向、个性特征等方面的差异我把全班52人分成以范晓敏、关民锋、胡凤养、黄达权、李嘉辉、梁敏玲、刘静仪、苏俊婷为组长的8个学习小组。我给各个小组布置不同的任务，要求各个小组的学生利用网络资源查找有关科学家的信息资料和图片，制作幻灯片准备在课堂上呈现出来，并用英语进行介绍。各小组成员合作完成书本第一页warming up 部分的测试题；根据pre-reading部分的第一小题：“What do you know about infectious diseases?” 布置不同小组的学生利用网络资源收集相关资料和图片，指导学生利用PowerPoint 把相关的材料制作成课件， 让学生准备用英语介绍，各个小组负责介绍一种传染病, 包括AIDS, SARS, BIRD FLU, CHOLERA 。 第二阶段：小组合作，搜集整理信息阶段 范晓敏小组整理并介绍阿基米德 (Archimedes)的有关资料图片（如图一）； （图一）Archimedes, Ancient Greek (287-212 BC), a mathematician. He found that if you put an object into water the water pushes the object up. It rises and partly floats. The force of the water pushing it up is the same as the weight of the object. 关民锋小组整理并介绍查尔斯.达尔文（Charles Darwin）的有关资料和图片（如图二） （图二） Charles Darwin, Britain (1808 - 1882) The Origin of Species was published in 1859. It explained how plants and animals had changed over time to fit in with a changing environment. At the time it was published it was very controversial. Many people believed the Bible when it said that God made the first two people (Adam and Eve) and that all other people came from these two. Darwins book showed that people had developed from apes instead. So this caused a lot of argument between religious and scientific people. However Darwins idea became very influential and is still accepted today. 胡凤养小组整理并介绍居里夫人（Marie Curie）的有关资料和图片（如图三） （图三） Marie Curie, Polish and French (1867-1934) She was born in Poland and came to study in France in 1891 and she lived there for the rest of her life. In 1898 she discovered radium. She received two Nobel prizes, one ( with Pierre Curie ) for physics (1903) and one for chemistry (1911). She is the only person to have been so honored. On the death of her husband she took over his job at the Sorbonne in she began a new scientific area of research. She was the first woman Paris. Her work on radioactivity and the discovery of radium meant that to receive a Nobel Prize and the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne (索邦神学院:巴黎大学前身). 黄达权小组整理并介绍爱迪生（Thomas Edison）的有关资料和图片（如图四） （图四）Thomas Edison, American (1847- 1931). He was already an inventor of other electrical devices ( phonograph电唱机, electric light bulb) when in 1882 he designed a system for providing New York with electricity from a central power station. This was a tremendous achievement, which had previously been thought impossible. 李嘉辉小组整理并介绍张衡（Zhang Heng）的有关资料和图片（如图五） （图五） Zhang Heng, Chinese (78- 139) He invented the first seismograph(测震仪、地震仪) to indicate in the direction of an earthquake. It was in the shape of a cylinder(圆筒形) with eight dragonheads round the top, each with a ball in its mouth. Around the bottom were eight frogs directly under a dragons head. When an earthquake occurred, a ball fell out of the dragons mouth, making a noise. 梁敏玲小组整理并介绍史蒂芬.霍金（Stephen Hawking）的有关资料和图片（如图六） （图六） Stephen Hawking, British (1942-) He has worked in astronomy and studied black holes in space.
