【教學內(nèi)容】
The Three Gorges Dam是外語教學與研究出版社《英語》(新標準)高中必修3第6模塊的閱讀課文。這篇課文簡要介紹了三峽大壩的相關歷史、基本信息并分析了其修建的優(yōu)缺點。
文章篇幅不長,難度適中,內(nèi)容對于學生們而言也是非常熟悉的。本堂課以介紹一首關于三峽的古詩的英譯版本開始,引出本堂課的主題并激發(fā)學生的學習興趣;然后展示了一些關于三峽及三峽大壩的圖片,使得學生對即將學習的內(nèi)容有一個直觀的了解。在做好充分的準備工作后,我組織學生進行快速閱讀,劃分文章框架,把握文章大意。接下來的精讀中,我基于文章每部分設置了一些問題,引導學生在找到答案的同時對課文進行進一步的理解。之后,通過兩種鞏固練習,使學生們能夠深化對文章的理解。

【教學反思】
1.學生上課回答問題可能不夠積極主動。當回答簡單問題時害怕被同學嘲笑,回答復雜問題時害怕出錯。教師一定要鼓勵學生踴躍舉手,珍惜每次上課發(fā)言的機會。就回答問題的同學給予及時的指導與表揚。
2.學生在相互討論the undercrossing tunnel這一話題時,可能會出現(xiàn)說中文,聊與本討論無關的話題或保持沉默等情況,遇到這種情況一定要走到他身邊小聲提醒。
3.分段以及總結(jié)大意對學生來說,可能有點難度,要給學生足夠的時間思考。
4.板書設計最右邊的生單詞部分,需要根據(jù)上課情況書寫,因此板書設計沒有寫完。
