【教學過程及意圖】
一、讀前:激活原有圖式,激發閱讀興趣
T:I’m very happy to be together with you. Let’s chat with each other and have a good time,OK?
【英語學科的本質是教會學生用英語進行交際,英語課堂的最高境界是師生、生生用英語互相交流。如果英語課堂是一場愉快的聊天,學生的精神狀態無疑是輕松的,學習是有效的?!?/p>
T:Here’s a cartoon for you. Do you still remember?
T:It’s a cartoon about ...?(Sam’s birthday)
T:What does Sam do on his birthday?
T:What does he want?(He wants ...)Maybe he wants ...(拓展更多的詞組。)
T:When’s Sam’s birthday?(引導學生用It’s in...來回答。然后再引導學生一起用Sam,when’s your birthday?提問,導入新授知識。)
T:When’s your birthday?(可用It’s on ... of ...表達日期,鼓勵學生根據序數詞構成規律大膽使用序數詞。)
【引用學生三年級學過的一則關于Sam生日的漫畫,通過談論Sam的生日自然地復習了關于生日的一些詞組,并且讓學生盡情地發揮想象,一起猜猜Sam的生日是什么時候,復習月份的同時又很自然地導入新知識序數詞和日期的表達。學生已具有的與課文內容相關的背景知識和經驗,也就是說學生們大腦中已有的、相應的圖式,教師應想方設法在課堂中激活它們。激活學生原有圖式和新舊知識的關聯,能培養學生自主吸納和建構新知識的能力?!?/p>
二、讀中:理解文本內容,掌握思維方式
T:We are talking about birthdays. Miss Li and her students are talking about birthdays too. Whose birthdays are they talking about?Let’s listen and answer.
【常規引入課文卡通,學生會很容易借助畫面提示找到答案;呈現課文錄音,學生在整體感知文本的同時,英語聽力也得到了培養?!?/p>
1.Learn about Su Hai and Su Yang’s birthday.
T:They are talking about ...(學生回答)Su Hai and Su Yang are twins,Let’s talk about their birthdays first.
T:Do you want to know something about Su Hai and Su Yang’s birthday?
【讓學生大膽提問,引導學生對課文內容進行大膽預測,這有利于學生發散性思維的培養。教師根據學生的回答提煉關鍵詞并在黑板上的notes上備注:when,what,how,presents ...這個notes在之后的教學環節中還會用上?!?/p>
T:You can say long sentences,so I only have three questions here:When’s their birthday?What do they do on their birthday?How do they feel?Open the book and turn to page 78,read freely and underline the answers.(讓學生打開書本78頁,自由朗讀,用筆劃出關鍵信息。)
教師提問,學生回答,并用思維導圖一步步呈現答案。
根據師生共同完成的思維導圖,讓學生相互問答,教師順勢板書。
When’s ... It’s ...
What do they do ... They ...
How do they feel? They ...
T:Look here,Su Hai and Su Yang’s birthday is on the ... They ...(教師引導學生看著板書來復述蘇海和蘇陽的生日,用筆連線,生成圖文并茂的思維導圖。)
Reading time. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation.(讓學生跟讀課文錄音,關注正確的語音、語調。)
【新授文本包括兩部分。教師利用思維導圖一步步呈現蘇海和蘇陽生日的關鍵知識點,簡明扼要,以圖的直觀性對當前的新知識內容加以定向和引導,從而幫助學生實現新舊知識結構的整合,實現新知識的內化和思維能力的提升。教師有意識地以身示范,實時滲透,教給學生學習的方法,體現了扎扎實實教的過程,實實在在學的過程和學生從不會到會的過程,為后面學生的自主學習做了鋪墊?!?/p>
2.Learn about Mike’s birthday.
T:We talked about Su Hai and Su Yang’s birthday. What about Mike’s birthday?Can you draw a mind map?
T:To draw a mind map,what should we do?
Discuss the tips with students.(First,we should read and underline the key information.Then,we can talk and draw.At last,we can say something about Mike’s birthday by the mind map in groups and try to show the others.)
T:If you are finished,you can tick.(附表1)
表1 Mike生日信息
【跟學生一起商量關于畫Mike生日思維導圖的tips,體現了談話式的教學方式;讓學生選擇自己喜歡的方式來讀、來畫、來展示,學生充分自主,而教師只關注策略指導?!?/p>
3.Check and show.
T:Can you read?(呈現文本,關注讀,關注生成,適時教。)
讀詞組:on the eighth of April,have a party,eat the birthday cake together(together. It reminds the words father,mother and brother. Father,mother and brother,they are together.),play some games(You know computer games?Less computer games,but
more ball games.)
引導學生分角色讀:Now,I’m Miss Li,you are Mike.
教師領讀:I can read better than you. Attention the pronunciation and intonation.
T:Can you show your mind map,and say something about Mike’s birthday?(強調方式多元。)
T:Well,look at the blackboard,Mike’s birthday is on the ...(看著學生事先在黑板上擺的思維導圖,引導學生復述課文。)
【在教師帶著學生學習了蘇海、蘇陽生日的基礎上,利用正遷移效應,引導學生通過小組合作學習自主完成文本的第二部分。學生通過閱讀文本抓住關鍵信息完成關于Mike生日的思維導圖,并通過生成的思維導圖來說一說Mike的生日。教師只是對學生的學習過程進行引發、誘導、推進和調控。學生在自主學習中,搜集和處理信息的能力、獲取新知的能力、分析和解決問題的能力以及交流與合作的能力得到了發展?!?/p>
三、讀后:拓展應用提升,凸顯文化價值
T:Look at the mind map here.Can you find something different between their birthdays?Of course,Su Hai and Su Yang’s birthday is on ...,but Mike’s birthday is on ...
T:Can you say something more?Try to use“Su Hai and Su Yang ...,but Mike ...”
S:Su Hai and Su Yang have a big dinner with their parents,but Mike has a birthday party with his friends.當學生說Su Hai and Su Yang eat some noodles,but Mike eats the birthday cake.教師追問:Why? 學生會說:Because Su Hai and Su Yang are Chinese.
總結:Traditionally,Chinese people eat noodles on their birthdays. They say long noodles,long life. When I was a child,I ate noodles on my birthdays. But I didn’t eat birthday cakes. Do you eat birthday cakes now?Do you sometimes have a party?教師順勢引出:Different countries,different cultures,but the world cultures are merging together.
【英語學科承載著文化傳遞的功能,教師以自身為教學資源,跟學生們分享自己小時候過生日和現在過生日的差異,隨著時代的進步,生活越來越美好,文化也越來越趨于融合。世界就是一個大家庭。】
T:I’d like to say something more about my birthday now.(簡單談論自己的生日。)
T:My son shares his birthday in a special way. Let’s go and have a look. Pay attention to the aspects mentioned in it.
T:The little book is around ...(在欣賞完生日繪本后,教師引導學生在一開始黑板上備注的notes上打鉤,總結出繪本所涉及的幾個方面。)
T:Can you write something about your own birthdays around these aspects or more.(Suggest the students to put their articles together. It’s just a book about birthdays and they can share others’ birthdays after class.)
【跟學生分享筆者兒子畫的生日繪本,同齡人資源的呈現讓學生倍感親切。讓學生關注生日繪本所涉及的幾個方面,讓學生嘗試著圍繞這幾方面來寫一寫自己的生日,圖式積累到圖式運用,實現了語言的整體輸出。這些生日小短文合訂起來,就是一本書,這本書的title 是什么?教師順勢點題并升華主題。通過語言的接觸和使用去習得語言,在學語言中用語言,又在用語言中進一步學語言,這樣避免了過多的形式主義和程序化的成分?!?/p>
總結:We have learned Unit 8 Birthdays. Here’s a new word for you.(教師在標題板書上用彩筆圈出birth,教讀釋義)I have three questions here.
(1)Who gives you birth(生命)?
(2)When’s your mother’s birthday?And when’s your father’s birthday?
(3)What do you usually do on your parents’ birthdays?
【由單元主題Birthdays引出新單詞birth,是誰給了我們生命?知道父母的生日嗎?父母的生日你又通常會做什么?這三個問題雖然沒有要求學生當場回答,但引起了學生深深的思考,情感教育自然、有效?!?/p>
四、一起布置作業
Discuss the homework with students.
1.Listen,read and copy the story time.
2.Know more about birthdays in different countries,share in groups.
【跟學生一起商量布置今天的作業,相信學生、重視學生。讓學生學會自己安排學習任務,自發地關注聽、說、讀、寫四項基本技能,體現了民主、和諧、平等的師生關系?!?/p>
五、共同參與評價
T:Well,I’d like to say,you are really very good.What do you think of yourselves?
T:What do you think of "Miss Ding?
T:Anyway,we have made a great effort and we have a great time.Thank you,bye-bye.
【教師評、學生評、師生互評,共同關注整個學習過程中表現出來的合作能力、學習策略、情感態度,文化意識等方面。努力比優秀重要,越努力越幸福,整堂課在融洽的氣氛中結束,師生意猶未盡?!?/p>
