Unit 1 Festivals and celebrations 《节日与庆典》高中英语人教版必修3第一单元)山东省青州第一中学王凤苓 (262500)一．教学课型：阅读课二．教材分析：1．教学内容（教材内容见文末）2．教材处理本节课主要介绍了古今中外的节日的种类，节日的由来，节日的作用及其庆祝方式等。
学生们虽然在日常生活中对此有所接触，但了解并不是很透彻，很全面，尤其是对国外的节日。
在本节课的教学设计中，笔者从大量的图片、音乐动画、录像着手，使学生在已经积累的感性材料的基础上，随着阅读的层层推进，不仅增进了对中国节日的理解，而且对外国一些节日也有所了解和感悟。
提高了学生的文化素质，进而增强了跨国文化交际意识，并利用多媒体技术创设各种情境，为学生提供了众多参与的机会，这样既保证了信息的大量输入，又实现了足够的输出，而只有通过输出才能使学生真正掌握所学内容，真正成为课堂的主人，充分调动了学生自主学习的积极性。
3 ．教学目标1 ．知识目标：通过深层次的理解，使学生了解古今中外的节日，并完成有关课文内容的练习。
2 ．能力目标：通过个人活动，同伴活动和小组活动，使学生掌握速读—略读—跳读—精读—总结—寻找细节等阅读文章的各种阅读技巧，并利用多媒体课件创设情境，为学生提供大量的输出机会，提高学生的听说读写能力及培养他们的发散思维与创新能力。
3 ．情感目标：体验使用多媒体手段辅助学习的乐趣和成就感，激发学生对世界各地，尤其是中国的节日及文化的兴趣，提高他们的文化素质，进而增强跨国文化意识。
4、教学重点与难点（1）培养学生的阅读策略及获取信息的方法。
（2）创设情境，激活学生思维，培养学生的合作学习能力以及发现问题，思考问题和解决问题的能力。
三、教学媒体选择多媒体教室、计算机、CAI课件、投影仪四、教学设计1．总体思路笔者将本节课的主要内容分为四大环节：Pre-reading activities for interest(读前活动),while-reading activities for comprehension （读中活动）, post-reading for consolidation （读后巩固活动） , group work and writing（小组活动与短文写作）。
其中读前活动由欣赏美妙的节日音乐，精美的节日图片及自由讨论世界节日等环节组成，激发学生兴趣，熟悉课文主题。
阅读中活动由速读和精读两大环节组成，所设计的问题层层深入，训练活动环环相扣，使学生在动眼、动脑、动口中探求新知，充分调动了学生的积极性。
通过教师层层深入的引导，一步步加深阅读，掌握阅读技巧，提高阅读理解能力。
在读后巩固与表演活动中，将所学课文内容以小组表演形式输出，使语言学习变成真正意义的语言交流。
在最后的小组活动与短文写作中，给学生一个机会创造新的节日，本环节是课堂的升华，旨在培养学生的发散思维和创新能力。
在口头汇报所创新节日的基础上，书写成短文，从而达到阅读与写作的巧妙结合，真正实现听﹑说﹑读﹑写相结合。
从而成功突破重难点,达到掌握知识、培养能力的目的。
2．教学过程Step1 Pre-reading activities for interestActivity 1.Appreciating an English songLet the students enjoy a piece of music— jinglebell , followed by these questions: Are you familiar with the song ? When can we oftenhear it?［设计说明］播放“铃儿响叮当”这首歌曲，轻松愉快的圣诞音乐，给学生创造了良好的学习氛围，激发了他们的学习兴趣，由此导入本课的话题—-节日。
Activity 2. Enjoying some beautiful and typical pictures of festivals around the world. Meanwhile, ask the students to talk them about freely ［设计说明］通过对精美、有趣的节日图片的自由讨论，营造有利于学生积极参与，主动求知的宽松的学习环境，从学生的生活经验和已有的知识出发，给他们提供充分的活动和交流的机会，能较快的帮助学生进入今天学习的内容，使学生对古今中外的节日有一个大体上的了解，并激发学生对所学内容的兴趣。
Step 2 While-reading activities for comprehensionFast reading:Activity 1:GuessingPredict what will be talked about in the text.［设计说明］猜测是培养学生阅读能力的方法之一，根据标题预测文章内容，调动学生参与学习活动的积极性。
Activity 2:Skimming(1)what’s the main idea of the passage？(2)Please match the kinds of festivals with the examples.［设计说明］（1）快速浏览全文概括文章大意，与前面预测文章内容相呼应，便于学生进行自我检测，使学生对文章的结构、内容和作者的写作意图有一个整体印象，训练学生概括篇章大意及从总体上把握全文的能力。
（2）连线文章中所提节日，训练了学生通过掠读获得特定信息的阅读技能。
Intensive ReadingActivity1.guess their meanings from the context and choose the right answer举例如下:1.At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especiallyduring the cold winter mouths.A．生病 B．挨饿C．变疯 D．受伤2 ． Some festivals are held to honor the dead, or to satisfy the ancestors.(找出划线词的同意词)A．satisfied B．satisfying C．interest D．content/ pleaseSuggested answer: 1.B 2.D［设计说明］此项活动旨在训练学生根据上下文猜测词义的能力，为学生进一步精读课文扫清障碍。
Activity 2:Complete the formFestivals of the dead［设计说明］运用表格形式可将课文内容化繁为简，易于学生对课文内容的理解和掌握，使其对所读内容有更清晰﹑更直观的印象。
Activity 3 :Enjoy some pictures of Halloween and the video about the day of the dead in Mexico .Then let the students describe them［设计说明］欣赏一段墨西哥亡灵节的视频及万圣节期间人们的穿着打扮的图片，既能满足学生的视听觉需求，又能激发学生的兴趣,让学生描述这些节日,提高了学生的记忆效率和英语口语表达能力.Activity 4 :Detailed questions1 ．Why are autumn festivals happy events？2 ．What do people do to celebrate it？A．Decorate churches and town halls beautifully.B．Get together to have meals.C．Watch dragon dances.D．People will get awards for their farm produce.F．Light license.3. Why do people celebrate Easter？4. What does Japan look like during the Cherry Blossom Festival？5.What are the purposes of the festivals?［设计说明］学生在掌握了全文脉络的基础上设计一些细节性、推理性问题及选择题,把学生引导到整合文章细节上来,不仅能让学生在有限的时间里更好的理解文章,也能培养学生的阅读技巧,提高阅读能力.Activity 5 Describe the pictures of the Spring Festival in China［设计说明］学生对中国的春节较为熟悉,提供图片创造情境,结合课文内容及生活实际进行描述,增加其语言输出量,提高其语言表达能力.Step 3： post-reading for consolidation （读后巩固活动）Have a discussion and Role-playSuppose one student is a reporter and the others in the group are foreigners from different countries, have a discussion about the festivals and act it out.［设计说明］单纯地复述课文只是机械重复课本知识，未必能激起学生的参与积极性，因此笔者设计小组讨论与台前表演这一环节：列出课文中所提及的中外节日，选择并用所学知识介绍该节日及庆祝方式（其中一名学生扮演记者，其他小组成员扮演来自世界各地的人）。
巩固了整篇文章内容，活跃了学生的思维，锻炼了其英语表达能力及组句成篇的能力。
