Navigator sea nautical (航海的) instruments

The sextant is a navigational instrument for measuring the angle between the horizon and some object in the sky. First a sailor looks at the horizon through an eyepiece.

高中英语_Unit 2 Sailing the oceans教学设计学情分析教材分析课后反思
教学设计：（一）学习目标：1、知识目标（1）.理解并记住Reading部分本单元的单词和短语。
（2）.理解并掌握整个故事的情节,并能填写summary.2、能力目标（1）充分发挥学生的主体地位，调动学生思维的积极性，提高综合语言的运用能力（2）通过对学生说读写的训练，增大学生的语言输入，增强其语言输出能力。
3、情感、态度、价值观目标学生分析布莱船长在40多天的航程中所采用的航海技术以及所表现出的领导才能。
同时，又适时地对他们进行情感教育：在任何困难面前绝不畏惧，不抛弃，不放弃。
（二）教学重点与难点：读写说均为本节课的重点，写和说部分应为难点，需加大指导和练习。
（三）教学用具：多媒体英语课件。
（四）教学设计1.探究早期海洋冒险家的经历，使学生对成为航海家所应该具备的素质有一定的了解。
同时，让学生明确船长在航海中所起的重大作用，并讨论船长布莱在航行中所具备领导素质的具体体现。
2.在教学中，我发现学生在学习时，对其概念、理论、方法等，并不是无动于衷，而是常常抱有各种不同的态度，会有各种复杂的内心体验。
如果顺利完成学习任务，会感到满意、愉快和欢乐；学习失败时，则会感到痛苦、恐惧和憎恨；遇到新奇的问题、结论和方法时，会产生惊讶和欣慰。
虽然这种情感不直接参与教学的认知活动，但对知识学习起着推动、增加、坚持、调节等作用。
因此，利用这篇课文适时地对学生进行：在困难和挫折面前，不放弃、不抛弃的精神。
3．学生不只想把英语作为一门死记硬背的课程来学，更希望能学到知识性和趣味性兼有的内容，从英语学习中获得更多的知识和能力。
1、这节课使学生的综合能力得到了训练。
在认知能力方面，快速阅读理解训练促使学生的观察力、注意力、记忆力高度集中；深层阅读理解训练使学生思维能力、想象力得到发展。
在语言能力方面，各个阶段中阅读理解问题的解决使学生的听说、读写能力得到全面培养，尤其是阅读理解能力更得到了充分发展。
在交往能力方面，同学们在老师引导下，在交流与讨论中相互合作、相互沟通，最后得出认识比较统一的答案。

The king's favourite game was chess.One day, a wise old man came to the palace and the king challenged him to a game.The king promised the old man, “You can have any prize if you win the game.”The old man said, “If I win the game, I'd like one grain of rice for the first square of the chessboard,two for the second, four for the third, and then double the amount for each of the rest of the squares.”“Is that all?”asked the king. “Wouldn't you like gold or silver instead?”“No, just rice,”replied the old man.The king and the old man played the game for a long time.Finally, the old man won. So the king ordered his men to collect a bag ofrice.He put one grain on the first square, two on the second, and so on.The king quickly realized the problem -- even with all the rice in the country, he would still not have enough rice to put on all the squares!国王和米很久以前，印度有一个国王。

WM: The Vikings? Didn't they sail around and attack people and towns from their ships?
DS: Sometimes. But we're not interested in that, only in their superior sailing ability.
➢Keep south of Iceland so that you cannot see land but just coastal birds.
➢Follow this route and you should reach Greenland.
Use the information from the listening to explain these sailing strategies.
WM: Really? How cleaver! Did everybody use simple maps?
DS: No. I'm afraid not. It was difficult to have a map for sailing across open sea then. We know the Vikings from Norway had no written maps when they sailed across the North Sea.
1. Vikings used to prefer to sail following the coastline so they could check that they were on the correct route.
2. Vikings used birds, and natural features like mountains, to direct their ships.
高中英语 Unit 2 Sailing the oceans Section Ⅰ
Unit 2 Sailing the oceans 当今航海技术达到前所未有的水平，那么你知道古代一些有关航海方面的仪器吗？Sinan，the ancient Chinese compassIt was invented by Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty.It is madeup of a bronze foundation (青铜底盘) and magnetic spoon(磁勺)which is made of natural magnet，positioned right in the centerof the foundation.The handle of the spoon points to the south，while the other side points to the north.When the Sinan is in the still，the handle of the spoon points to the south because of the influence of the terrestrial magnetism (地磁)．AstrolabeIt has 17 stars listed as well as a map of the sky overhead(for 37 degrees) and the ecliptic (黄道)．The time of day or nightis on the outside edge with noon at the top of the Astrolabe andmidnight at the bottom.It comes with a carrying chain，a pouch，and a book on its use.The reverse side has a sight for measuringthe elevations of the heavenly bodies.SextantThe sextant is a navigational instrument for measuring theangle between the horizon and some object in the sky.First a sailorlooks at the horizon through an eyepiece.At the see light fromthe sun or a star reflected off a small mirror on top of theinstrument，onto a second mirror and into the eyepiece.The navigator can then see two images，the horizon and the sun side by side.He can then measure the angle between them on a scale at the bottom of the instrument.The scale goes from 0 to 120 degrees.An earlier instrument，called a quadrant，measured in angle in the same way but it could only measure angles from 0 to 90 degrees.Nautical chartNautical charts are maps of the depth of the sea and thecurrents of the oceans.They provide modern sailors with routes through the seas，rather like roads through the countryside.The information began to be collected in the nineteenth century and has continued to be updated ever since.These charts were not available to Captain Bligh or Zheng He.两个诱思问题1．What is the theory of the Sinan invented by Zhang Heng?2．Why were the Nautical charts not able to be used by Captain Bligh or Zheng He?【答案】1．The influence of the terrestrial magnetism.2．Because the information began to be collected in the nineteenth century.Section ⅠReading (Warming Up, Prereading，Reading & Comprehending)Ⅰ.根据词性及英文释义写出单词的正确形式1．n．kindness；forgiveness2．n．activity of exploring3．adj.above one's head4．adj.at sea not far from land5．adj.made or done without any plan6．adj.difficult to use7．n．act of mentioning；act of looking at for information8．adj.light and that can be(easily) carried or moved【答案】 1.mercy 2.exploration 3.overhead4.offshore5.random6.awkward7.reference8.portableⅡ.短语填空I prefer to walk there take a bus.2．The boat was the rapid river.3．This novel become a classic.4． those who are suffering，we are better off.5．I believe that you can this problem by yourself.【答案】 1.rather than 2.at the mercy of3.may wellpared with5.work outⅠ.阅读P12－13课文内容，从三个选项中选择最佳答案1．How many traditional methods used by seamen are mentioned in the passage?A．Four.
