1、SEFCB2 Unit10 Frightening Nature瓯海区梧田高级中学 薛丽娜一、教材分析1教学内容分析本单元的中心话题是自然灾害，由于earthquake, flood在高一已有涉及，所以本单元主要围绕volcano, typhoon, hurricane等进行听说读写，表达自己的情感体验，使学生在参与、体验中完成语言活动任务。Warming up 部分设计了四幅图画和五个问题，要求学生讨论并描述他们所观察到的事物。这四幅画分别是关于地理、气象、天文和生物。让学生直观地感受到这几门功课的研究对象，引起学生联系日常生活的思考，认识到自然灾害的危害，激发学生学习知识探索科学的欲望，自

2、觉承担社会的使命。Listening部分是一则美国夏天的天气预报，包括是否下雨、温度、沿海地区的飓风。要求学生结合听力材料和所给的地图，抓住关键的信息，在完成练习中发展学生的听力。Speaking 分三部分，第一部分设计了谈论台风的对话，供学生进行机械性的操练，为下面的创造性交际打基础。第二部分提供了六幅图画：thundering and lightening, volcano, earthquake, seeing deadly snakes, in SARS-affected area.第三部分提供了表达焦虑、畏惧的useful expressions,使学生能用这些句子和词组展开有意义的

3、操练和交际性操练，表达自己的情感。Reading部分分为pre-reading, reading和post-reading. pre-reading部分呈现两幅图画关于在2000多年前在意大利崛起的一座著名的火山Vesuvius和被火山埋葬的两个小城镇，激发学生的想象力和科学探究能力。Reading围绕作者叔叔的死Vesuvius火山爆发的真实情景，展示了当时的人们在巨大的灾难面前恐惧的心情，并赞扬了他叔叔从容不迫，舍己救人的高尚品质。整篇文章用第一人称，文章内容多取材于主人翁自己的记载，因此文章有很强的感染力，使人有身临其境的感觉，令人信服。本文又是以书信形式写的娓娓道来，使人有一种亲切感。

4、文章格式正确，开头结尾完整，自然，语言材料地道。Post-reading部分有四个问题，旨在巩固和加强学生对课文的理解，词汇及相关语言知识。Language study 包括词汇和语法两部分。词汇第一个练习中提供了一则新闻，引导学生使用所学主题词汇填空，第二个练习设计五个具有一定情境的句子，让学生练习使用表达感情的词汇及词性转换。语法部分学习省略句的用法，具体包括例句、机械操练、有意义的操练，使学生有易到难，循序渐进的掌握语法知识。Integrating skills中的文章是关于一艘轮船在船长的带领下同可怕的台风做斗争的情景，文章没有结尾，要求学生在阅读的基础上进行大胆、合理的想象续写故事结

5、局。体现了以读导写、以读促写、读写有机结合的教学指导思想。不仅提高了他们的读写技能，也有利于学生创造性思维能力的培养。Tips部分提供了一些学习气象知识的方法和技巧。Checkpoint 部分总结了本单元的语法重点常见的省略结构。同时通过一个问题引导学生自己对本单元所学词汇进行归纳、小结。2重点和难点重点：1. 本单元中出现的一些重要单词和词组的用法 2. 省略句的用法 3. 用一些本单元所写的词汇表达自己的感情难点：展开想象力续写故事的结局二、教学目标1语言知识词汇：form a danger, scored to death, get into a total panic, on end,

6、 draw ones attention, urge, calm down, knock about, all of a sudden, aware, at hand话题：talk about natural disasters: volcano, typhoon, hurricane功能：表达情感、焦虑和畏惧：how terrible!It makes my hair stand on end.Shes scared to death.What terrifies me isHe gets into a total panic whenIm frightened to death byWha

7、ts really scary is语法：学习常见的省略句2语言技能听：能听懂天气预报，掌握天气预报的要素，获取关键信息。说：能用有关词组和句型表达自己的感情读：掌握记叙文的阅读技巧，能用五个W、一个H和first, next, then, finally复述课文。写：学会续写故事结局。3学习策略利用网络搜集资料并加工处理信息；自主合作探究学习能力和英语思维能力4情感态度在英语学习中培养协作、互助精神，体验英语学习的乐趣；了解自然灾害的危害和科学的重要性，努力学习，加强对社会的责任感。三、教学方法和教材处理1 教学方法根据本校全体教师的教学经验和学校学生的实际情况，结合任务型教学和合作学习，建

8、立模式为“设置任务-小组分工合作-大组竞争”。教师把班级分成四大组，然后把大组又分成几个小组，不改变学生座位，前后两排4个学生成一小组，每小组围绕任务进行讨论，小组四人自己分工合作，确定4个角色：组织者（本组开展活动的核心人物）；记录员（记录本组的意见和观点）；计时员（确保本组人员在规定的时间内完成规定）；记者（作为本组的发言人，活动结束后向全班汇报讨论的结果）。引进大组竞争，形式有，1)每大组设置不同任务，讨论完成后，小组的记者汇报，同一大组的其他小组的记者补充完善，讲出几点，该大组就得几分，但不能重复；2）每大组同个任务抢答赛，该大组成员能抢答出正确答案，该大组得几分。3）记者招待会或辩论

9、赛。以大组为单位记分，以小组为单位讨论。每节课的竞争形式并非单一的，可以自由组合，individual work, pair work的得分归在大组得分中，一节课结束后，得出大组总分记下，每一个月算出积分，和学校的品德分挂钩。这样，每个学生都会参与，都有机会作答，在相互合作的过程中，培养了合作能力。课时安排和教学思路period 1:warming up &listening本节课从复习unit9的内容，talk about the problems and disasters because people destroy the environment导入，从而引出natural d

10、isasters,呈现四幅图片通过individual work, group work展开话题,然后提问学生可以从哪里得知台风或火山信息，学生自然联想到电视和报纸，导入到听力材料-天气预报。听力材料的难度在于材料的语言特色和大信息量，因此，在pre-listening中1）以中央电视台的天气预报图片用brainstorming形式处理天气预报的有关词汇：shower, thunderstorm snow, fine, sunny, cloudy, windy, rain, temperature尤其是温度的单位国内外不同，中国用摄氏度，国外用华氏，30=86，2)出示美国地图，让学生猜测在夏

11、天东南西北哪里可能有飓风，哪里多雨水，哪里少雨水，哪里可能最热，哪里比较凉快，再让学生听材料答题，降低难度。Listening的练习设计如下 weather forecast (time:_)place Rain(yes/no)Temperature(F)The northwestThe MidwestThe northeastThe EastThe southeastThe South根据学生的程度，可再听一次。听完后group work讨论：what advice can you give people when a hurricane hits the coast?增强学生的安全意识，也

12、为下一课speaking做准备。作业布置：搜集温州十四号台风“云娜”登陆情况。period 2:speaking本节课先复习types of natural disasters,再呈现温州今年8月份十四号台风“云娜”登陆的视频（在google 键入视频 台风可搜索到），talk about danger of typhoon and feeling,从而引出example,进行听、读、问答、机械性操练，再呈现四幅画：thundering and lightening, volcano, earthquake and SARS-affected area,各大组各分不同主题进行小组合作讨论。If

13、 time permits, do Ex2 on page145.作业布置：1）完成书本其他两幅图片；2）上网查找台风、火山爆发成因和易发区。period 3&4:reading从复习上节课引出volcanoes的有关知识，情形、成因和易发区，导出讨论课文前面两幅图画和两个城镇及火山的地理位置地图（在yahoo键入a map of Vesuvius and Pompeii可得）再进入reading:skimmingwhen whereWhat disaster whoThe end scanningAction of unclevolcanofirstnextthenfinally在处

14、理文章的脉络过程中，还要解决一些细节理解和篇章理解，讨论两个问题后，召开记者招待会， 假设uncle还活着，他 在his friends wife Rectina, his friend Pompy的陪同下，接受记者采访，选三个学生做被采访者，其他学生为记者。period 5:language study从retell the text 导入另一篇关于火山的报导，进入word study的第一个练习，就所学单词完成文章。做完第二个练习，由口语“Beg your parden?”导入省略句，通过pair work, group work学习省略句。period 6:integrating ski

15、ll学完了speaking中的台风对话，学生对于台风有了一定的认识，因此问“but have you ever experienced typhoon when you are at sea?引出话题，通过skimming,了解地点、人物、轮船、事件，而scanning的三个问题分别涉及到bad weather, what did the captain do? What happened to the ship?为下面的续写做铺垫，学生可以从这三个方面续写结尾。其中第二个问题又可以利用图片解决飓风风眼和气压的关系。关于续写，假如时间或者班级学生成绩不是很好，引用阅读老教材高三Unit6 a
