牛津高中英语教学设计教材：牛津高中英语 (模块九) 高三上学期文档内容：教学设计教案单元：Unit 4 Behind beliefs板块：Task 1作 者：钱建芬Thoughts on the design:本节课是Task板块的第一课时，以听、说、读为主。本教案的设计旨在使学生通过对Skills Building 1的学习，在听、说、读等开放式任务型活动中获取有关圣诞老人的大量信息及描述一个传说中的人物时该用的句型，帮助学生在此基础上学会去分析信息、处理信息，从而为完成最后一部分的书面写作任务作好铺垫。教学中课堂活动的设计遵循了学生的认知规律，即按照学生温故而知新探索新知识使用新知识的客观规律来进行教学。Teaching aims:After learning Skills Building 1, the students will be able to know about the expressions used to describe a legendary person and get much information about Father Christmas through listening and reading. At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to tell about Father Christmas with the expressions used to describe a legendary person. Teaching procedures:Step 1 Lead-in1.

Q: What are the most popular religions in the world?A: Hinduism; Buddhism; Judaism; Christianity; Islam; etc. (PPT4)2Introduce Christmas Introduce Christmas by asking students the following questions so that students will naturally associate Christmas with Father Christmas.

(PPT5)Q: Which is the most popular festival celebrated by Christians?A: Christmas.Q: What do you know about Christmas?

Children are excited about this holiday because they believe Father Christmas will bring them gifts. (PPT7)3. Show images of Father Christmas (PPT8, 9)4. Introduce the idea that Father Christmas is only a legendary personIntroduce the idea that Father Christmas is only a legendary person by asking the following questions. Q: But do you believe Father Christmas really exists?A: No. Although Father Christmas is very famous and people talk a lot about him, he is just a legendary person. The story of Father Christmas is just a legend. (Then arouse students interest in what a legend is and what kind of person is a legendary person by asking the above question.)Q: Then what is a legend and what kind of person is a legendary person? (PPT10)After that, ask students to read the top of page 58 in Skills building 1 and find out the answers by themselves.Explanation学生在Word power部分已经了解世界上最受人推崇的几大宗教及相关知识，在导入部分先对相关知识进行复习，并由此自然地引申到西方国家最重要的宗教基督教及该宗教中最隆重的节日即圣诞节和该节日的标志性人物圣诞老人，然后引出Skills Building1中的生词“legend”和词组“a legendary person”，为Skills Building 1开头部分相关知识的学习作好了铺垫。这样的导入既起到了复习、巩固以往所学知识的作用，又能很自然的导入到Task部分的主题，即有关圣诞老人的传说故事。Step 2 Skills building 1: finding information about a legendary person. (PPT11)1. Explore what a legend is and what kind of person is a legendary person. Let students explore this by themselves. Q: So what is a legend?A: Legend refers to the traditional story of a famous person or an event. Some of the stories can be true. However, most of the stories include things that are untrue, impossible or do not exist. (PPT12)Q: What is a legendary person?A: A legendary person is often a real person who lived a long time ago. The information about this person might be true but some of it might be untrue and just part of a legend. (PPT13)2. Get students to understand Father Christmas is a legendary personHelp students to understand Father Christmas is a legendary person by showing two examples of traditional Chinese legends. (PPT14) Pangu cutting open heaven and earth (PPT15) Nwa patching the sky with five-colour stones (PPT16)Q: In such legends, who are legendary people?A: Pangu and Nwa. Q: So in the legends about Father Christmas, who is a legendary person? A: Father Christmas. (PPT17)3. Teach the expressions that can be used to describe a legendary person/figure He/she is said/supposed to He/She is known/described as People believe that According to the stories, he/she Apparently, he/she I have heard that he/she (PPT18)4. Practice Give students chances to practice the above expressions by asking them to rewrite the following sentence with the expressions above. e.g. Father Christmas delivers/brings presents to people. Father Christmas is said/supposed to deliver/bring presents to people. (PPT19) Then ask students to practice rewriting the same sentence with the expressions used to describe a legendary person. Practice: Father Christmas delivers/brings presents to people. He/she is said/supposed to He/She is known/described as People believe that According to the stories, he/she Apparently, he/she I have heard that he/she (PPT20)Examples: Father Christmas is known as a person who delivers/brings presents to people. People believe that Father Christmas delivers/brings presents to people. According to the stories, Father Christmas delivers/brings presents to people. Apparently, Father Christmas delivers/brings presents to people. I have heard that Father Christmas delivers/brings presents to people. (PPT21)Explanation学生通过该部分内容的学习，可靠自己探究什么是传说和传说中的人物。同时，学生还将了解并学会使用一些固定的短语或句型来描绘一个传说中的人物如圣诞老人。在该部分设计的口头操练练习中，学生将可以对他们所学的知识做到当堂巩固消化，提高了课堂效率。所以该部分的教学既可以很好地训练学生的口语能力（speaking ability），也为下一堂课最后的写作任务“写一个有关圣诞老人的传说故事”打下了基础。Step 3 Take notes about Father Christmas notes (Step 1: taking notes about Father Christmas) A Instructions: Read the web page about St Nicholas and work in pairs to ask and answer the questions on the top of Page 59.
