Unit4JOURNEYACROSSAVASTLAND

ReadingandThinking:SEEINGTHETRUENORTHVIA

RAIL:VANCOUVERANDTHEHEARTOFCANADA

文本简析

本单元阅读文本的话题是两名中国学生坐火车从西到东横跨加拿

大的旅途见闻。文本旨在向学生介绍加拿大的一些基本情况，包括地

理环境、自然风光、重要省市和地方等，从而开拓学生视野，加深其

对加拿大的了解。

本文是旅游类叙事文体，记述了李戴予和刘倩去加拿大看望表兄

妹的旅途见闻。标题"SeeingtheTrueNorthViaRail:Vancouverand

theHeartofCanada”暗示文章体裁，同时体现了文本的核心内容。

全文共六段，篇章结构清晰。第一段为总起段，介绍了旅行的人物、

缘由、起始地点、交通方式、感想等基本背景；第二段介绍了主人公

在温哥华两天的行程和活动；第三段描绘了主人公探访露易斯湖时所

见的湖光山色；第四段至第六段介绍了主人公在火车上一路向东经过

加拿大多地最终到达多伦多的旅途所见和所感。

在进行文本教学设计时，需要理清旅行行程以及主人公在旅途中

的所见所想，同时帮助学生梳理旅行类话题语言，包括景色描写、“见”

的各种表达、对所见的感想与评价。此外，文本中的话语标记语也值

得梳理。本文标题蕴含丰富信息，可以根据标题对文本进行多方位预

测，提升思维能力，并根据标题对段落进行框架梳理，阅读后可进一

步探讨标题，深入理解文本。最终需要帮助学生掌握旅游类文章的写

作基本要素和技巧，运用所学语言进行主题意义的表达。

教学设计（共2课时）

第1课时

一、教学内容

理解全文，明确文本结构，理清旅行的基本信息和行程路线，归

纳每处所见，梳理语篇标记词，积累“看”的丰富性表达语块。

二、课时目标

1.围绕旅行主题，讨论并自主提问，根据标题和图片，预测文本

内容，激活背景知识和相关话题语言。

2.通过略读、梳理、归纳等策略，结合标题，提取文本信息，梳

理文本段落关系，理清语篇结构，发展逻辑思维能力。

3.通过文本分析以及问题回答，理清旅行的基本信息和行程路

线，归纳每处所见内容并根据上下文理解相关词义，整理和丰富相关

语言，最后通过课文复述巩固所学。

三、教学过程

Activity1:Talkingabouttravelling

本活动旨在落实课时目标1。

Studentsworkingroupsoffouranddiscussthefollowing

questions.

Q1:Whydoalotofpeopleliketotravel?

S:Becausepeoplecanbroadentheirhorizon/enrichtheir

experience/sharpentheirpersonalities/findwhattheyreallywant

intheheart/...whentravelling.

Q2:Whataspectsdoyouwanttolearnaboutifyouaregoingto

travelinacountry?

S:Area/population/scenery/industry/cities...

【设计意图】属于导入和热身环节。学生对上述两个问题进行小

组讨论，在真实情境下，激活背景知识，用已有的主题语言，讨论对

旅行的喜好。第一个问题有助于引出部分话题语言，如

travel/trip/journey/visit…等，并能和单元卷首语"Travelforenough,

youmeetyourself”相呼应。第二个问题激发学生谈谈他们如果出国旅

行时会关注哪些方面，表达他们的关注点，引出

scenery/industry/population/weather…等语言，为预测课文内容以及

自主阅读作好铺垫。

Activity2:Predictingthecontentofthetext

本活动旨在落实课时目标1。

Studentslookatthetitleofthetextandthepicture,andthen

answerthequestionsaccordingtothetitleandthepicture.

Q1:Whatdoesthe"TrueNorth"inthetitlereferto?

S:Canada.

Q2:Whatisthewritingtype?

S:ThetextisaboutajourneyinVancouverandtheheartof

Canadabytrainandwhattheysawinthejourney.

Q4:Whatisthefocusofthetext?

S:Whatwasseeninthisjourney.

【设计意图】引导学生根据标题和插图对课文进行多方位预测后

再阅读，使他们更加积极主动且聚焦主题语境。在这个活动中，学生

通过对关键词“truenorth”进行定位，确定了旅游地点，然后预测文本

体裁和主要内容，并推断本文的重点——旅途中的“所见”。

Activity3:Identifyingthestructureanddealingwiththe

本活动旨在落实课时目标2。

【设计意图】引导学生关注标题中关键词“Vancouver和“theheart

ofCanada"，通过运用略读阅读策略，寻找课文哪些段落分别涵盖这

两个部分，然后关注到一个“and”，提示分段的并列关系，在弄清第一

段的功能后，提示总分关系，为学生理清文本段落间的关系提供支架，

在此基础上引导学生分段，整体把握文本结构。同时，寻找自己在活

动1中提出的想要了解一个国度的哪些方面，自然过渡到游记的基本要

素O

二课时写作做好部分铺垫。同时进一步提问为何旅行会有如此感受的

原因，引出旅行的目的是为了看到更多、感受更多，呼应接下来的涉
