新人教必修1 Unit 1 Reading and Thinking: The Freshman Challenge文本简析 本单元阅读文本的话题是美国学生亚当刚入高中所面临的挑战,旨在让同龄读者了解国外学生的校园生活和学习状况,探究和比较中外学生的校园生活,以积极乐观、阳光豁达的心态去迎接新生活的挑战。文本采用了叙事性文体,主人公亚当以第一人称口吻描述了自己刚进入高中所面临的挑战,内容贴近学生生活,很能产生共鸣。标题“The Freshman Challenge”是整个文本的浓缩提炼。正文内容按“总分”建构,第一段为总起段,说明亚当进入高中第一周时所产生的困惑,其余三段分别描述了亚当在选课、课外活动和学习三方面碰到的挑战以及应对挑战的心态和策略。在进行文本教学设计时,要帮助学生梳理关于高中生活的话题类语言,其中包括有关选课以及与课外活动相关的表达。此外,功能类语言,如:obviously, instead, still, but等,也是值得梳理的。本文的主题段、主题句与支撑性内容的关联,是很好的逻辑思维训练载体。此外,本课需首要关注的文化要素是中外高中新生校园生活的对比。学生可将亚当面临的挑战与自己可能遇到的挑战作对比,在比较中感受文化异同。第1课时教学设计一、教学内容理解全文,明确三个挑战和在面对挑战时的心态和应对措施,明确文本的总分结构。二、课时目标1. 围绕校园生活主题,自由讨论,并根据标题和图片,进行自主提问,预测文本内容,激活背景知识和相关话题语言。2. 通过略读、梳理、归纳等策略,提取文本信息,找出段落主题句,概括段落大意,梳理文本的段落关系,理清语篇opinion-fact的宏观总分结构,发展逻辑思维能力。3. 通过文本分析以及问题链的回答,完成“challenge”、“feeling”、“solution”的outline内容梳理并根据上下文理解相关词义,整理和丰富相关语言,最后通过课文复述巩固所学。三、教学过程Activity 1: Talking about senior high school life.本活动旨在落实课时目标1。Students work in groups of four and discuss the following questions.Q1: What do you think of your first week at senior high school? Why? List out some facts to support your opinion.Q2: What do you think of foreign students first week at senior high school? Why? List out some facts to support your opinion.【设计意图】此活动是导入环节。学生就上述两个问题进行小组讨论,在真实的情境下,用已有的主题语言,描述校园生活。第一个问题有助于引出部分话题语言,如school life/study hard/friends/homework等。第二个问题激发学生谈谈他们心目中外国学生的校园生活,表达对中外文化的理解,引出choosing classes/extra-curricular activities等话题语言,为预测课文内容以及第二课时对比中外校园生活作好铺垫。同时这两个问题后面都会追问“fact”,引导学生关注“opinion-fact”的辩证关系,为文本的结构分析做好铺垫。Activity 2: Predicting the content of the passage.本活动旨在落实课时目标1。Students look at the title of the passage and the picture, and then answer the questions.Q1: What does “freshman” mean?Q2: What does “challenge” mean? Q3: What do you want to learn from the passage? Write down your questions.【设计意图】引导学生带着预测进行阅读,使他们更加积极主动且聚焦主题语境。在这个活动中,学生对两个关键词“freshman”和“challenge”进行初步的了解,同时基于对标题和图片的理解,借鉴阅读教学中常用的K(know)W(want to know)L(more to learn)的模式,提出自己想要从文中获取的信息,预测文本内容,带着问题进行阅读培养推断能力,促进其主动学习。Activity3: Dealing with the main idea of each paragraph and the questions.本活动旨在落实课时目标2。Students skim the text to find the topic sentences and get the main idea of each paragraph. In the meanwhile, students find answers for the questions they raised in activity 2 and check whether they share the same opinion on foreign students senior high school life with the writer. Q1: Who is the writer of the passage? Q2: What does “freshman” mean in the text? How do you know?Q3: Can you find answers in the passage for your questions? Find out the evidence.Q4: What does Adam think of his senior high school life? (opinion)(So according to what you said before, some of you share the same opinion while others not.)【设计意图】引导学生通过运用略读阅读策略,寻找主题句并根据主题句对段落大意进行概括,整体把握文本内容,提升概括能力。同时,寻找自己提出的问题的答案,并且明确亚当对于高中新生生活的观点,验证自己在活动2中对于外国学生的高中生活的观点是否与亚当的观点一致,自然过渡到活动4,确立文本的结构。Activity 4: Identifying the structure of the passage.本活动旨在落实教学目标2。Students read the title of the text again, go over the main idea of each paragraph and identify the structure. Students think about the following questions.Q1: Why does Adam think his senior high school life a challenge? (facts 1-3)(Paragraphs 2-4 had to, had to, have torepetition)Q2: Why is “too” put at the end of the topic sentence of Paragraph 3?Q3: How many parts will you divide the passage into? How and why?Q4: What is the main idea of each part?(Leading partParagraph 1 (opinion): Senior high school is really a challenge.Supporting partParagraphs 2-4 (facts): Adam had to face challenges in choosing courses, choosing extra-curricular activities and studying.)【设计意图】关注标题中关键词“challenge”,通过四个问题的设置,首先关注三个“have to”,初步了解repetition的功能,提示总分结构,然后关注到一个“too”,提示分段的并列关系,为学生理清文本段落间的关系提供思维支架。在此基础上引导学生分段,明确 “opinion-fact”的总起结构,并对两个部分进行概括,推进学生思维层次。Activity 5: Focusing on Adams challenges.本活动旨在落实教学目标3。Students read the passage again and finish the outline in Task 4 on page 15. While checking the answers, students answer the following questions:Q1: Why did Adam feel confused?Q2: What challenges did he meet when choosing courses/ choosing extra-curricular activities / studying as a freshman at senior high school? Why?(challenge: have to, is a very difficult , tried to but didnt well enough, a bit worried about, keeping up with, itll be quite difficult , .)Q3: How did he feel?
