Earthquakes - A Night The Earth Didnt Sleep阅读课教学设计及反思一、 学情分析 本节课的教学对象高一学生，由于高一学生的词汇量不够，而且部分学生还不能通过上下文排除部分生单词的造成的阅读障碍，对生单词的容忍度很小，这在一定程度上影响了阅读速度。另外，阅读过程中过分注重细节，推理能力差，不关注文章的整体框架结构。二、教材分析本单元以地震为中心话题，介绍地震这一自然现象，使学生对地震的起因、前兆、危害以及如何在地震中进行自救等知识有一定的初步了解，并能通过语言表述出来。通过本单元的学习，使学生了解到地震的造成的灾难是多么可怕，怎样避免和减少由地震引发的损失，让学生思考如何有效地预防地震，进行自救、逃生，从而避免过大的损失。1976年的唐山大地震的前兆、经过、危害以及灾后援救工作。文章语言简练生动，描述了地震来临前的一些不正常的自然现象及动物的反常表现；地震的来势汹汹并在顷刻间将整座城市夷为平地，让人感受到地震的可怕，体现人类在自然灾害前的脆弱；同时也表现出震后人们勇敢面对现实并及时实施抢救和重建工作。三、教学目标分析知识与技能：1. 通过快速阅读，学生能够总结文章大意、分析篇章框架结构及各个部分的段落大意。2. 通过查找细节，学生能够掌握、理解部分新词及初步认识定语从句。3. 学生能够利用在文章中所学语言知识，对唐山大地震做出简要叙述（描述地震前兆、危害及震后援救）。过程与方法：通过个人活动和小组活动培养学生的阅读策略，提高阅读技能以及用英语进行思维、推理、判断的能力。情感态度价值观：1. 培养学生对灾难的正确认识，要以积极的态度来对待灾难。学习唐山人民勇敢面对自然灾害，积极进行灾后重建的精神；在教学活动中培养学生的合作精神和互助精神。2. 使学生能够将所学有关地震的知识，运用到日常生活中，体会到学习的成就感。四、教学策略采用多媒体的教学手段，使教学生动活泼，既能激发学生的学习兴趣，又能提高教学效果；通过任务型教学和合作交流的学习方式，发展学生的综合语言运用能力。课前需准备一些汶川地震灾后图片和日本地震后引发的海啸简短视频。五、教学过程Steps Teachers activitiesStudents activities Aims Time Step 1Lead-inThere are many natural disasters happening in the world.
