III. 教材分析與教材重組
1. 教材分析
本單元以節日為話題,介紹古今中外節日的種類、由來、意義以及人們的活動和習俗,旨在通過本單元的學習使學生不但了解我國的節日,而且對外國的節日也有所了解,進而拓展社會文化背景、增加跨國文化知識;使學生復習和鞏固運用請求和感謝的表達法,掌握情態動詞的用法;并嘗試根據閱讀的文章寫一個不同的結局,能表達自己的觀點和想法。
1.1 Warming Up 旨在通過表格引導學生討論并列舉出五個我國節日的日期、慶祝內容和民俗。可以剛剛過去的春節為話題導入對節日的討論;使他們由自己的經歷談起,擴展到別的節日以及外國的重要節日,激發學生的興趣,激活他們關于節日的背景知識,為本單元的學習做準備。
1.2 Pre-reading是Reading 的熱身活動。主要通過兩個問題引導學生思考并討論自己最喜歡的節日及歡度方式,進而了解學生對節日的認識,以便為閱讀作好鋪墊。
1.3 Reading 的五篇小短文分別介紹古代節日、亡靈節、紀念名人的節日、豐收節、春天的節日等,使學生了解各種節日的由來及其存在的意義。此部分載有Festivals的重要信息,還呈現了大量的詞匯和主要的語法---情態動詞的用法。處理時應作為重點、整體處理,通過上下文來教詞匯、語法,并引導學生分析長句、難句和復雜句。
1.4 Comprehending是考察對閱讀內容的進一步理解。
練習一:六個問題讓學生對文章內容有淺層理解并考察課文細節,但又不能僅僅拘泥于課文,要引導學生理解課文內容的基礎上聯系現實生活。
練習二:要求學生討論哪些節日是最重要的,哪些是最有趣的,以表格的形式檢查學生對所讀節日的理解,并訓練他們舉一反三的歸納和推理能力。
練習三:要求學生找出各種節日共有的三件事,然后討論為什么這些事對各地的人們都很重要。這就要求學生不僅要溫習文章內容而且要結合實際,闡述自己的想法,挖掘學生的思維能力和語言表達能力。
1.5 Learning about Language 分詞匯和語法兩部分。其中Discovering useful words and expressions是本單元單詞的英文釋義練習和用文章中的詞匯的適當形式填空;Discovering useful structures 是以文章內容為載體在語境中練習語法,掌握情態動詞。由此可以看出本教材已明顯地由結構為特征的傳統語法訓練轉變到以交際功能為特征的功能語法訓練,充分體現了新教材話題、功能、結構相結合的特點。
1.6 Using Language 是英語聽說讀寫的全面運用的練習。
1.6 ① Listening 是課文的延伸,通過聽幾位學生參加Trinidad Carnival 節日游行的兩段對話,使學生體會參加節日游行的真實情景,既訓練聽力一通過問題訓練了他們的分析能力。
1.6 ② Speaking 分為兩部分。第一部分通過電話突出交際用語功能的訓練;第一部分讓學生編對話,可以按自己的想象、經歷為內容,訓練思維和表達能力。
1.6 ③ Reading 是發生在情人節的一個令人傷心的愛情故事,其中又插入了一個“七巧節”的故事。閱讀后的討論不僅幫助學生理解文章主旨大意,更重要的是讓學生學會尋求解決問題的方法。
1.6 ④ Writing 的任務是寫一個與文章結尾不同的結局。旨在讓學生通過思考寫出自己的想法,嘗試自己解決問題。
總之,通過本單元的系統學習,讓學生了解世界各國的節日及民俗,學習有關節日的詞匯,并能夠豐富語言知識,提升用英語表達觀點的能力。
