8、，既有趣味性，又能调动学生的相关知识，激发他们的思维。“阅读”（ Reading）部分讲述了地球生命的起源，水的形成使得地球有别于其他星球，它使得地球上生命的诞生成为可能。科学家认为，地球上的生命首先诞生于水中，然后通过上百万年后，陆地上才长出绿色植物，然后出现陆栖动物和水陆两栖动物。最初的动物靠孵化繁衍后代，后来出现了哺乳动物，人类也随之产生了。文章最后讲述的现象发人省醒： The earth may become too hot for the lives on it. 它关系到地球上生命的未来。“理解”（ Comprehending）部分通过四个选择体检测学生对本文核心问题的理解：地球上

9、生命的起源和延续需要哪些条件？随后通过排序的方式帮助学生理解本文的行文线索，也就是地球上生命起源和发展历程。最后提出两个问题，考察学生深层理解和推断能力。“语言学习”（Learning about language）部分首先通过英文解释帮助理解课文中的生词，然后通过短文填空，词语分类的形式将这些词语运用到相关的语境当中。语法部分也是通过先发现后应用的学习方法。先通过课文中找句子，让学生认识主语从句，然后设置一个用手机发短信息的情景，让学生进行简单句与主语从句之间的转换练习。最后设置情景来复习第三单元出现过的表语从句。“语言运用”（Using language）部分训练听说读写的能力。听力部分介

11、以及语法结构方面进行总结。“学习建议”（Learning tip）部分要求学生运用诸如百科全书，互联网络等资源，进一步探索宇宙的奥秘。并通过记日记，看新闻的方式了解最新研究与发现。晚上，遥望星空感受一下宇宙的魅力。本单元所涉及的要点有：1了解边缘科学，地球上生命的起源，了解万有引力，黑洞和太空旅行等天文学知识。培养学生对科学的兴趣，激发学生探究科学的热情。2了解作者的写作特点，培养学生的创作性思维，为学生开拓广阔的想象空间。3学会在日常交际中正确地使用指示语。4掌握名词性从句中主语从句的用法。三、单元预习任务（Pre-unit task）1. 根据本单元教学目标和要求，了解本单元话题和任务，充

15、胆的删除（L leave out） 、 修补（ A Amending ） 、替换（ R Replace ） 、增添（ A Add ） ，灵活的将教材为我所用。新教材在选材和教学活动的设计上充分考虑到学生年龄特征和他们生理和心理发展的需要；在采用话题、功能、结构相结合的教学方法的基础上，设计了“任务型”的活动；对英语语言知识和技能训练作了系统的安排，循序渐进，循环反复，有利于学生构建知识系统；注意培养创新精神，提高实践能力。但新教材也应与学生的实际相结合，我们不能全盘照搬。同时在教学过程中，为了对教学有个即使的反馈和有效的改进，我们还进行了“形成性评价”。本单元的语言技能和语言知识几乎都围绕“T

16、he science of the stars”这一中心话题设计的。我们根据本单元实际情况对教材的课时安排作了一些调整，尤其是学生用书(Student s Book) 和作业本(Workbook) 有机结合。整个单元的备课思路是这样的：从天文学谈到地球（地球上生命的起源，如何去保护地球）-其他星球及太空物质（月球及黑洞） -去太空旅行的目的，可能会碰到哪些困难，需要做哪些准备- 科学家进行探索需要准备什么以及需要怎样的素质。因此，具体安排是这样的：Period one: Warming up and reading Period two: Using language and reading(

17、wb) Period three: Listening, talking, listening and writing Period four: Grammar Period five: Language Point 这样要说明的是我们在第二三课时教学中，特别穿插了对写作的辅导，符合了先输入后输出的教学理念。精品资料 - - - 欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - 欢迎下载 名师归纳 - - - - - - - - - -第 4 页，共 30 页 - - - - - - - - - - 五、教学步骤(Teaching procedures) Period 1 Warming
