高二英语Unit4 A garden of poems教案二

高二英语Unit4 A garden of poems教案二教材分析本单元中心话题是“诗歌与文化”。单元各部分围绕着这一中心，着重介绍了中学生并不熟悉的英语诗歌。由于语言鸿沟的存在和中西文化差异，学生要真正的懂得欣赏英语诗歌并从中获得乐趣美感并不容易。通过本单元的学习，使学生了解英语诗歌中包含的绚丽多彩的西方文化，并引导他们思考和探寻诗歌文化中蕴藏的人本色彩。“热身”(Warming up) 部分由English Poetry的一个分支学生较熟悉的“Songs”引入，继而介绍rhymes和limericks,并带入到课本中的两首limericks。在教学过程中强调师生互动，鼓励学生大胆将诗歌加上感情和动作表演出来，这样有助于学生更好的形成对本单元介绍的英语诗歌印象并产生较高的兴趣。“听力”(Listening)部分的内容分两部分内容：WB与SB。SB内容可以由“热身”(Warming up)活动结束后自然过渡导入， SB部分是一则对话：一位男生到图书馆借有关POEM的书籍，不知如何选择，于是请图书管理员推荐相关书目。对话涉及了很多有关诗歌的基本知识，如管理员推荐那位男生在读欣赏诗歌前应先对诗歌文化作一定的了解而推荐的A garden of poems(是关于诗歌总述及类别的一本书)，然后又建议其分门别类的阅读诗歌，并有重点的欣赏自己喜欢的诗歌类型。这篇对话提出了一个概念：诗歌是按一定的特点和格式分类（type）的，阅读诗歌时应注意选择。WB包括一篇介绍诗歌起源的短文和三篇rhymes,有助于帮助学生了解并把握诗歌的节奏感和韵律美。通过“听力”(Listening)部分的学习，学生会更好的形成对诗歌的总体印象并了解英语诗歌中包含的丰富文化，为本单元后面部分的学习打下基础。“读前”(Pre-reading)部分由一小部分有关诗歌创作的影片引入，直观地引起学生对诗歌的兴趣。然后再提到学生很熟悉的中国著名诗人，如李白，杜甫，并一起朗读李白的一篇名作，利用好母语，为承接到英语诗歌作好铺垫。“阅读”(Reading)部分标题是English Poetry,里面简单介绍英语诗歌的形成和几个代表时期，重点提到了Modern English Poetry的诞生和19世纪浪漫主义诗潮，提及了几个著名诗人及代表作，风格等等。文章最后提到了英语诗歌被引入中国以及用本国语翻译诗歌的利与弊，起到了画龙点睛的作用：我们学诗，读诗就是要自己去思考，去欣赏，这样才能开拓我们的视野，形成自己的审美观。在授课过程中，要特别注意智育（课堂教学与语言知识的习得），德育（引导学生形成正确的审美观乃至人生观）和美育（去发现并欣赏和种文化中蕴含的美）的结合渗透。“读后”(Post-reading)部分设计了两种练习。第一部分是针对文章的理解，检测学生对文章理解的程度。第二部分是学生去理解“诗歌及文化是连接一门语言与另一门语言，一种文化与另一种文化的桥梁”这句话，发现一种文化艺术形式中的内涵。这是对学生理解力和审美观的培养。“口语”(Speaking)部分放在“阅读”(reading)部分之后，因为这一单元的学习一定要注重知识的承接，学了“阅读”(reading)后能更好的熟悉英语诗歌和诗人，流派，能“有话可说”，有助于表达自己对一种文化形式的看法和见解。本部分将通过“BRAINSTORM”回忆课文中学过的诗人。关于SB中的Speaking，在小组活动中，组织学生分组对有关诗歌的Topics, Periods, Human feelings等话题开展讨论。讨论时再次强调Useful Expressions的使用。而书中WB里的TALKING，讨论的是“现在诗歌是否依然流行还是已死亡”这个话题，可以将学生分成两组，设立裁判，让他们自由发言给出意见，最后由老师进行总结这种形式。通过“口语”(Speaking)部分，学生会在一定程度上将书本上的知识转化成自己的观点表达出来，既增加了他们对英语诗歌的理解又很好的锻炼了口语。语言学习(Language Study)分词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分设计了一些题目来回顾复习文中出现的一些重点词汇和词组。在语法的讲解前，通过一个简单视频（儿歌）说明诗歌中的一种RHYME的压韵特点。本单元的语法项目是“过去分词作状语”的用法。在此要特别注意由于本单元是分词（包括现在分词和过去分词）用法的最后一个章节，需要对分词作一个总结和清理，因此需要将现在分词和过去分词用法共同点（如逻辑主语一致）及不同点（如现在分词常表主动，过去分词表被动）作一个罗列。当然简单罗列并不行，需要把最容易混淆的东西再过滤一遍，解释清楚。学习技能(Integrating Skills)部分包括听、读、说、写三部份，有着一个很明显的结合，过渡，继承过程，相互渗透，讨论了一个有关如何带着感情去欣赏理解诗歌的问题。本部份先让学生听Keats和Wordsworth的两首诗作为引入，让学生朗读并谈感受。再转入课文，阅读简单的课文后有一个Assessment步骤，通过三个问题评估学生的理解能力。接下来是课文练习中的现代诗“Dust of snow”赏析，引导学生理解诗歌中的意境（IMAGE）并对诗歌中诗人情绪变化“changes of mood”作一个分解。至此，本单元对于学生能力的培养已到了一个更高的层次。在教学过程中，适当要求学生作朗读和背诵，加强互动，引导学生诵读诗歌时投入感情，注意语音语调的变化。在本课时最后一个环节中，让学生根椐一首现代诗写出其主题与意境（可参考使用英文名曲“Right here waiting”。学习建议(Tips)部分向学生提供了如何找诗歌来朗读的一些建议，清楚明了，可以作为学生平时阅读的一个很实用有效的指导。复习要点(Checkpoint)简要总结了本单元的语法重点“过去分词作状语”的用法。最后一个问题引导学生对本单元所学的词汇作一次小结，以增强学生自主探索的学习能力。课时安排Teaching Plan for Unit 4 A garden of poems1.Warming up&Listening(1)Warming up(2)Listening in SB(3)Listening in WB2.Post-reading (1)Pre-reading (2)Reading3.Post-reading (1)Reading (2)Post-reading(3)Extended reading4.Speaking(1)Warming up(2)Speaking(3)Talking in Work Book5.Language Study (1)Word Study (2)Grammar6.Integrating skills (1)Reading (2)Writing (3)Checkpoint教材重点和难点1.重点单词poem n.诗；韵文；诗体文intention n.意图；目的；打算recite vt.背诵；朗诵pattern n.型；模式；方式dialogue n.对话；（文学，戏剧，电影中的）对白sort vt.将事物分类；整理 n.种类；类型sadness n.悲哀；难过grammar n.语法；语法学glory n.光荣；荣誉；荣耀的事；壮丽absence n.不在；缺席；缺乏district n.地区；区域atmosphere n.气氛；情绪；大气；大气层introduction n.序言；介绍；引进translate vt.翻译；用简单易懂的语言表达translation n.翻译；译文extraordinary adj.特别的；不平常的；惊人的idiom n.习语；成语；语言习惯用法apart adv.相隔；相距；除去；单独地recommend vt.推荐；介绍；建议contribute vi.作出贡献；捐献；投（稿） vt.贡献；提供；捐献；投稿2.重点词组puttogether 把结合成一整体；装配play with 玩；玩耍；游戏call up 召唤；使人想起；调动（力量，人员等）；（给）打电话stand out 突出；显眼；远远超过某人（物）light up 照亮；使放光彩；点上（烟等）吸起来come into being 出现；形成；产生send for 使某人来到；要求将某物取来或送到contribute to 为作贡献（或捐献）；有助于；向投稿3.词汇拓展poem (n.) poetry (n.) poet (n.)absence (n.) absent(adj.)translate (vt.) translation(n.)contribute (vt.) contribution(n.)4.句型结构1.

Before the invention of writing, there was no other way but to remember important things. People early discovered that rhyme and rhythm were very helpful when they are trying to remember things. So they made poems to help them remember all the things they needed to know and passed on from generation to generation. For example to remember their history. They recited great stories about their ancestors and the wars that were fought.(Collect the answers from the students.)T: Yes. Before the invention of writing, there was no other way but to remember important things.And rhyme and rhythm were very helpful when people are trying to remember things. Thats why our ancestors invented poetry.Step VII. Listening and imitating.T: OK. Poems are helpful to remember things. But what things can they help us remember? Please listen to the following examples and find out some of the ways.1.We can learn and remember important dates in history using rhyme. The rhyme most famous of these is: “In 1492, Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue” to remember that it was in 1492 that Columbus discovered the Americas.2.There are also short lines to remember how many days each month has. “30 days has September, April, June and November. The rest have 31. Fine! February 28 except when 29.” 3.We can even learn had spelling with words from a short poem. The words receive sounds like believe. But the spelling is not the same. Listen to the following short poem, It is very useful to help students learn and remember how to spell some difficult words in English and it always works.“I” before “E” except after “C” or when sounding like ei as in “neighbour” and “way”.Suggested answers:Rhyme 1 is useful to remember important dates in history. (to remember that it was in 1492 that Columbus discovered the Americas)Rhyme 2 is useful to remember how many days each month has.Rhyme 3 is useful to help students learn and remember how to spell some difficult words in English.Rhymes and rhythms are helpful. Do you use poetry to remember things?Who sometimes still uses poetry to remember things today?(Collect answers then listen to the following.)But people also need to remember practical things such as where to find good cages to sleep, where to find water that could be drunk or when to plant crops. We no longer need poetry to remember things. But it doesnt mean we shouldnt or coundnt use it to help us remember things better.So anyone who want to remember things better can still use poetry to remember things.Step VIII.
