word某某地区高二英语下学期Unit16TheUnitedStatesofAmerica一.教材分析㈠.教学内容本单元的中心话题是“美国”,课文围绕“美国南部”及“美洲平原上的野牛”展开,让人感受美国的变迁过程.本单元有助于培养学生跨文化交际意识,进一步拓宽视野,为终身学习奠定良好的基础.“热身”(Warmingup)部分,给我们提供了三幅画面,有利于我们从宏观上和微观上把握美国地理特征.练习题引导学生从美国的历史渊源,经济等方面认识美国,有利于学生的探究学习.“听力”(Listening)部分设置了三个练习,由浅到深,层层深入.练习1不仅有利于我们了解纽约市,而且有利于培养学生在听力中快速捕捉信息的能力.练习2和3有助于学生了解美国的背景知识,丰富学生的文化内涵.“口语”(Speaking)部分要求学生根据提示描述一个场所除了课本所提示的说明处,还可以引导学生描述自己的学校..题目设置贴近学生生活.教师“读前”(Pre-reading)部分设计了两个练习.练习1要求学生列一份自己家乡的年表,并列出重要的事件以及变化过程,讨论其前因后果.练习2要求学生在年表上填写美国历史上发生的五件大事,这有利于训练学生的逻辑思维能力,为阅读有关美国历史的课文做准备.“阅读”(Reading)部分“美国南部”(TheAmericanSouth),介绍了南部一部充满灾难的历史,同时也是一部充满成功与希望的历史.文章重点介绍了美国南部佐治亚亚特兰大市自内战以来的发展和变化.着重阐述了反对种族隔离制度斗争的美国运动,及其杰出的领袖马丁.路德.金的斗争精神.通过阅读这篇文章可以了解,美国是个多民族的多元文化国家.由于文章涉及美国历史的变化,城市的发展,需要对比的手法描写,本篇文章可称得上是一篇对比性写作的X文.“读后”(Post-reading)部分练习1有利于学生通过实例来阐明观点.练习2要求学生进行两人小组讨论或者多人小组讨论,题目强调了语篇意识,设置层次性强,有利于培养学生的思辨能力.1/15word“语言学习”(LanguageStudy)部分包含词汇和语法两部份.词汇学习涉及构词法知识,设计新颖,看似简单,其实灵活,有助于学生留意某些词加后缀时意义的变化,有利于避免负迁移.语法练习2考察学生在语篇中使用非限定动词的能力,注重学生综合素质的提高.“综合技能”(IntegratingSkills)部分包含阅读和写作.通过阅读“美洲平原上的野牛”,人们了解了美国历史上大规模屠宰野牛,破坏美洲草原生物链的教训.写作部分要求学生写一封电子,帮助美国学生了解中国.这就需要学生在理解教材的基础上,从面积,人口,语言,民族,重要城市等方面比较美国于中国的区别.这项任务有利于提高学生的语言运用能力.特别是语言概括能力.“学习建议”(Tips)部分指导要求学生开展写对比分析文章,以及学生写作时要注意的相关事项.“复习要点”(Checkpoints)通过练习引导学生对非限定动词作一次小结,并对要求学生对描述处所的词汇进行一次小结,有利于培养学生的自学能力.㈡.教学目标1．语言知识词汇：entrymentalphysicalsufferinggreedytraderunemploymentunrestsacrificereconstructionformerfuneraldawnovereinsistplainresistchiefafterwardswidespreadrotwildlifesupplychainwillinginvaintakeachanceleavealoneinsistonputononsaleinturn语法：复习非限定动词Idon’tmindhisbeinginvited.HehatebeinglaughingatSheenjoysbeinginterviewed.Itisimportantforlosttimetobemadeup.功能：描绘场所Whatdoesyourhometownlooklike?Whatdoesthelandscapelooklike?Arethere?Thereisinthenorth.2/15wordHowlong/wide/high/tallisthe….?It’s..metres/feetlong/wide/high/tall.Itlookslike…….2．语言技能听：听两段有关NY的短文，捕捉信息，改正错说：用恰当的语言描述一个地方读：掌握skimmingscanninggeneralizationtakingnotes等微阅读技能。能欣赏对比性写作的文章写：采用对比性手法写一段文章。㈢.教学重点和难点重点：课文中出现的重要单词和词组的用法如：insiston/leavealone/supply/bedeterminedtodo/beforcedtodo/resist非谓语形式的用法难点：采用对比性手法写作非谓语形式用作定语的区别二．课时安排和教学思路本单元的中心话题是美国。我们将本单元的学习设计成从美国的东部经南部到西部的一次文化旅行。从美国的概况，东部城市（纽约和EllisIsland），南部城市（Atlanta），和西部大草原（bison）来了解美国，感受美国的变迁过程。。Period1Warmingup&speaking本节课从一个“猜猜她是哪个国家”的游戏导入。接着通过美国地图和一X表格来了解她的概况。然后是一组图片（包括著名的城市和人物），目的是为听力和阅读做铺垫，降低难度。再做一个对错小测试，增加学生对美国的了解。根据游戏的做法进入小段文字描述一个场所，用上usefulexpression,让其他学生猜猜是哪里。在写之前先造句，掌握常用句型Arethere…口语部分。要求学生写一?Thereis…..inthenorth..。Itis….metres/feetlong/wide/3/15wordhigh/tall….Itlookslike…..Period2Listening&Reading本节课的中心话题是东部城市纽约和EllisIsland，通过听力和阅读两个环节完成。先从图片引出纽约城，进入听力。她是美国甚至世界重要的城市，有必要增加一些信息量所以要求学生再阅读一段短文（从高三阅读文章中摘出3小段），增加信息量。通过几个对错判断来检查学生的理解程度。Period3&4Reading首先播放两小段视频。一是描述美国南部过去灾难和战争的《飘》，另一个是展现Atlanta的现代与富裕。两者形成鲜明对比，自然导入本节课的学习内容。Skimming通过回答问题了解文章的篇章结构和中心内容。Scanning细节理解，主要是通过完成表，格来对比Atlanta的今天和昨天，突出文章重点(明白Atlanta为什么是典型的南部城市及她又克服了哪些困难才成为一个现代的大都市)及对比性写作的特点。听完课文录音后段对话。。假设你是一个历史系的学生来到Atlanta旅行，你的笔友带你参观Atlanta，你们一起讨论Atlanta的过去和现在。通过对话编写来检查学生对课文的理解掌握，复习所学的内容。拓展思维，不同文化背景的人生活在一个城市里，有何好处和不利之处。，要求学生完成一个任务设计，编一最后Period5Languagestudy由听写导入复习部分词汇。然后复习构词法。接着是复习非谓语的被动形式。最后通过选择题全面检查学生对这语法项目的掌握情况。Period6IntegratingSkill由bison的图片导入阅读文章。通过回答问题。细节理解，对错判断。完成图表，来了解美国西部历史上大规模屠宰野牛,破坏美洲草原生物链的教训.。最后是写作任务。采用对比手法，帮助美国学生了解你的家乡。三．教学反思本单元的话题是美国，着重引导学生注意美国历史的变迁。其实美国的文化，建筑，地理4/15word特征，名胜古迹，民间传说，民俗特色，政权形式，科学成就都很值得老师引导学生去了解，这对学好英语是有很大的帮助的。尤其是能够体会领悟美国的社会特征和人文特点，在学生阅读文章时就能够减少好多障碍。但是内容涉及很广，我们不可能在一个单元的时间内让学生都了解，但是应当鼓励学生上网或去图书馆查阅资料，自主学习。同时也应该提醒学生思考中国和美国这两个国家的相似的地方和不同的地方，做一些比较。四．教学程序TeachingplanforUnit16Period1Warmingup&SpeakingGoals:1.LearnabouttheUSA2.PractisedescribingplacestotrainthespeakingabilityStep1Lead-inT：Now,let’sbeginourclass.First,I’llgiveyousomeinformationaboutthehistoryofacountry.Pleaseguesswhichcountryitis.Listencarefully.Itisaveryyoungcountryintheworld,whichhasonlyahistoryof200~300years.ThereisaStatueofLibertyintheeastcoast.Itisabout46metreshigh.TheheadofficeoftheUNwassetupthere.TwoWorldWarsdidn’ttakeplacethere.Nowitisthestrongestcountryoftheworld.Canyouguessit?Ss:Yes.TheUSA.Step2Warmingup1.ShowthemapoftheU.S.AandhelptheSstogetageneralideaofher.FullnameLocationCapitalcityThelargestcity5/15wordWhenwasfoundedpopulation2.TheU.S.Aisabeautifulcountry.Therearemanybeautifulcitiesandalsogreatpeople.Let’sseesomepictures.Doyouknowsthaboutthem?(GeorgeWashington.ThefirstpresidentMartinLutherKingtheleaderofnon-demonstrationwaskilledin1968NewYorkthelargestcitynicknameAtlantainthesouththehostoftheOlympicGamein1996EllisIslandIslandofTears)3.Whatelsehaveyouknownabouther?Aquiz(Ex1.)4.Whatdoyouwanttoknow?Step3Speaking1.Learntheusefulexpression.Makeasentencewitheachpattern.Howlong/wide/high/tallis….?It’s…metres/feetlong/wide/high/tall.Thereis…inthenorth/south/east/west.Itlookslike….2.Writeashortpassagetodescribeaplace.3.PlaytheGuessgame.Onestudentreadhisshortarticle,theothersguesswhereitis.Homework:SearchtheinternettofindinformationaboutNewYork.Period2Listening&Reading(aboutNewYorkandEllisIsland)Goal:1.Dosomelisteningtoimprovethelisteningability.2.LearnmoreaboutNewYorkStep1Lead-inShowapictur
