人教版新目标英语九年级《Unit6.When was it 教学设计SectionA3a---3cinvented?》一、教学设计思路教师首先要让学生明白本节课的学习任务和学习内容,让他们有方向性进行学习。
课堂上首先利用几张图片导入新课,充分调动学生学习兴趣。
通过检查学生的预习情况,让他们找出课文中的新单词,在基本认识新单词的基础上初步了解这篇文章。
然后让学生快读文章,找出每段中心句。
让学生细读文章,初步回答阅读前提出的几个问题。
精读文章,找出被动语态句子,然后完成3c,同时能让学生更能理解这篇文章。
通过这篇文章,让学生之间相互讨论在实际生活中有哪些常用的小发明,同时可以锻炼学生的口语能力。
最后布置家庭作业,根据5个问题写一篇小作文,文中应用被动语态书写。
二、教学背景分析(一)教学内容分析:SectionA3a-3c是九年级第6单元的第三课时,在前2课时中已经详细地分析和应用被动语态,同时对语态也进行了系统复习,为本节课学生理解课文内容奠定了基础。
本节课的短文以茶和神农为背景素材,能激发学生的学习兴趣。
而书中活动3c“groupwork”主要巩固学生刚学的被动语态。
书中3b问题更能理解课文和提高学生阅读能力。
本单元的主要教学内容是让学生会运用一般过去时态的被动语态,本课时的学习对被动语态起了强化巩固作用,同时也提高学生的阅读能力,是本单元的重点之一,所以本课时内容是本单元中必不可少的。
(二)学生情况分析:我所教的这个班学生的基础不是很好,经过摸底发现,通过初中两年的英语学习,部分学生具备一定的听、说、读、写的能力,有了一定的词汇量,学了一些基本句型和两种语态,这些基础知识对本单元学习新词汇、学习过去被动态有着密切的联系。
本班学生英语成绩两极分化较为严重,所以学生的阅读能力和写作能力有待加强。
三、教学目标分析(一)知识与技能1、浏览文章,让学生会读课文中新单词。
2、让学生带着问题自读文章1遍。
、让学生能用文中的新单词复述文中的句子。

教材分析Unit6 When was it invented单元教材解读本单元的教学话题是谈论生活中的发明,在上一单元的基础上继续学习被动语态。
上一单元学习了被动语态的一般现在时,而本单元重点学习被动语态的一般过去时,以及被动语态中强调动作的执行者时by的用法,以及强调目的时for的用法,讨论生活中常见的一些发明。
上一单元着重讨论中国的传统文化,如孔明灯,风筝,剪纸等,而本单元提到的发明创造很多都是在国外发明的,如电脑,电话,汽车等,这些都是现代生活的必备品,也是学生非常熟悉的事物,有助于课堂讨论的展开。
本单元在学习英语知识的同时,也能拓展学生的视野,增加学生的课外知识积累。
教学内容Section A (3a—3c)教材分析3a—3c是阅读板块的活动。

A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.
An Accidental Invention Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.
It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but in less than 100 years, it had bee the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.
5. Tea is now _t_r_a_d_ed__ between many different countries.
3. A nice smell was _p_r_o_d_u_c_ed_ when the tea leaves dropped into the hot water.
4. Tea was _b_r_o_u_g_h_t_ to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries.
3. Who is called “the saint of tea”?
Lu Yu.
4. What is Cha Jing about?
It's a book about tea.
