牛津译林版英语必修二Unit2Reading1教案

牛津高中英语教学设计

单元：Unit 2 Wish you were here

板块：Reading

Thoughts on the design:

这是本单元的第二课时，在第一课时“Welcome to the unit”中已经通过多媒体向学生展示了许多值得去探险旅游的世界各地及探险活动，如登山、冲浪漂流等；并就“Adventure”，同学们进行了热烈讨论，学生对探险旅行有了一定的了解,获得了一定的背景知识。本节阅读课是关于Toby 写给她的好友Aihua的一封便信，告诉Toby 暑假她和他哥哥去非洲的旅行计划。本课时运用多媒体增加课堂容量，提高课堂效率和学生积极性。通过设计有助于提高学生的阅读概括水平与分析问题能力的练习，指导学生提高阅读速度和把握作者写作思路；及通过练习设计提高学生运用语言解决问题的能力，变学习语言为运用语言。
