英語故事中精美的圖片不僅傳遞著直觀的信息,而且體現(xiàn)了故事發(fā)生的背景,有利于喚起學生的生活體驗,從而更好地理解故事文本。教學中,我適時為學生呈現(xiàn)圖片,引導學生觀察圖片,深挖圖片所承載的意義進而理解文本,對故事進行補白,積極探索圖片的意義和價值,從而有效提升學生思維能力。
1.談話導入,引出故事文本。
T:Boys and girls,do you like stories?
2.呈現(xiàn)圖片,聚焦故事人物。
T:This story is about Maddy.
T:What do you know about Maddy?

通過呈現(xiàn)圖片,幫助學生聚焦故事中的核心角色Maddy,在回憶人物信息的過程中,學生的發(fā)散性思維得到了激活和訓練。
1.看圖猜測,訓練逆向思維。
T:Today,we will meet more monsters.They are Maddy’s family.
T:What do you w ant to know about Maddy’s family?

思維導圖,喚醒了學生關于家庭話題的語言知識,他們圍繞故事題目提出恰當?shù)膯栴},這既是對所學語言話題和知識的回顧,也是對逆向思維的有效訓練。
2.以圖促讀,激發(fā)閱讀興趣。
T:Oh,class.You have so many questions.Now let’s look at Maddy’s family photo.Do you like Maddy’s family?Who are the monsters in her family?

通過呈現(xiàn)圖片,不僅激發(fā)了學生的閱讀欲望,而且為下面梳理故事人物信息作好鋪墊,發(fā)展和訓練了學生的發(fā)散性思維。
3.完成表格,梳理故事脈絡。
T:Oh,there are so many monsters in Maddy’s family.They are very lovely.What’s their jobs?What do they like to do?Now you can find the answ ers in your text book and w rite your answers in the blanks.

在完成表格的過程中,學生由關注Maddy到關注她的每一個家庭成員,并且依據(jù)語言話題梳理出故事敘述的脈絡,發(fā)展和訓練了邏輯型思維。
4.對話圖片,開展深層閱讀。
T:Now let’s talk about their job and appearance.
T:What does Maddy’s mother do?
S1:She is a w orker.
T:Look at the picture.Where is Maddy’s mother?

S1:He is standing beside the building.
T:What do you think of Maddy’s mother?
S1:She is strong and tall.
在圖片的幫助下,學生通過與建筑物的對比可以直觀了解Maddy媽媽的身高,從而更加了解媽媽的外貌特征。
T:How about Maddy’s father?
S2:He is a worker,too.
T:How do you know that?
S2:He works in a park.
T:Look at the picture.What does his walking stick look like?

S3:It looks like a sw ing.

學生在深入讀圖、思考的基礎上,通過分析準確理解故事所傳達的深層含義,從而訓練和發(fā)展了深層思維。
1.討論交流,培養(yǎng)概括能力。
T:Do you like Maddy’s family?Why or why not?
S1:Ilike Maddy’s family.Because they are very lovely.
S2:Ilike Maddy’s family,because they are very big.
T:Well done,class.How do you think of Maddy’s family?

精讀故事后,讓學生說一說Maddy大家庭是一個什么樣的家庭,這是對學生閱讀成果的檢驗,更是對其概括能力的培養(yǎng)。
2.以繪促寫,培養(yǎng)高階思維。
T:Maddy has a happy family.How about your family?Would you like to draw pictures about your family and try to write something about it?
教師為學生搭建話題支架,以繪本創(chuàng)編為輸出手段,借助圖片的具體語境,把閱讀教學中思維的培養(yǎng)和語言的發(fā)展有效地結(jié)合起來,提升了學生可持續(xù)發(fā)展的英語學習能力,訓練了他們的分析、評價、創(chuàng)新等高階思維。
故事圖片提供了靈動、具體的信息,有助于學生更好地理解故事中抽象的文本。基于故事中的圖片開展閱讀教學,有利于學生走向深度閱讀,同時發(fā)展他們的發(fā)散性思維、邏輯性思維、創(chuàng)新性思維等多種思維能力,提升學生的英語學科核心素養(yǎng)。
