P62III 教材分析与教材重组 1. 教材分析本单元以一篇戏剧“圣诞欢歌（A Christmas Carol）”为话题，旨在通过单元教学使学生了解Charles Dickens (查尔斯狄更斯)和他的作品，学会使用合适句型来谈论社会责任，在语法上复习有关状语的问题，能根据不同情况使用合适的状语，如副词、介词短语、现在分词、过去分词、动词不定式等，能写一篇戏剧评论。1.1 WARMING UP 通过让学生们看四幅图画，然

11、后让他们猜测这几幅图画分别是查尔斯狄更斯的哪部戏剧作品来让学生们更多了解查尔斯狄更斯的写作风格和戏剧特点。1.2 LISTENING 先是引入，通过向学生提问点出做梦这个主题，然后让学生们听圣诞欢歌片断，最后进行任务型听力训练，根据所听到内容填空，使缺失信息的句子完整。1.3 SPEAKING 主要在语言输入（一篇有关社会责任感的材料）的基础上要求学生进行任务型口头表达，重点是要求学生掌握使用有关社会责任的单词、词组。1.4 PRE-READING是READING的热身活动。在这里它分为两部分，一为通过问答方式让学生了解有关圣诞节的情况，为戏剧阅读提供文化背景。二为通过问答方式让学生了解戏剧大

12、致内容，为戏剧阅读提供一个切入点。1.5 READING是戏剧A Christmas Carol（圣诞欢歌）的第一部分，这一部分在时间上都发生在圣诞前的一天，但又可以细细分为四个不同场景，第一个场景发生在Scrooge的办公室，人物有Scrooge和他的雇员Bob Cratchit, 情节为Scrooge 阻止Bob暖手和Bob向Scrooge请假，展现了Scrooge对人苛刻、吝啬、自私的一面。第二个场景发生在Scrooge 和他的外甥Fred之间，情节为Fred邀请他舅舅Scrooge一起庆祝圣诞，但是Scrooge断然拒绝，还奚落了Fred，从中可以看出Scrooge没有亲情、惟利是图的

13、本性。第三个场景发生在Scrooge和一位慈善机构的先生之间，慈善机构的先生向Scrooge募捐，然而Scrooge非但分文不给，相反还建议把那些穷人送进监狱，从这个场景我们可以看出Scrooge没有社会责任感、缺乏怜悯心的特点。第四个场景发生在圣诞前夜Scrooge的梦中，主要人物为Santa Claus（圣诞老人）和Scrooge, 圣诞老人前来提醒Scrooge他所做过的梦。READING这一部分篇幅不长，但是语言精炼，场景转换很快，人物个性（尤其是主角Scrooge的人物个性）非常鲜明，在第四个场景后面还留下了一个悬念，让我们思考接下去Scrooge将会发生什么变化。为后面阅读INTE

14、GRATING SKILLS中的A Christmas Carol（圣诞欢歌）的第二部分埋下了很好的伏笔。1.6 POST-READING 既有知识性的问题，让学生了解文章细节，同时又跳出课文，对戏剧情结和人物个性进行评价，由易到难，有较好的梯度，而且这表明本单元READING 的要求是：在理解的基础上，重点训练学生的推理判断能力和概括能力，并结合实际运用语言进行交流。1.7 LANGUAGE STUDY 分词汇和语法两部分。其中，Word study 是根据语境缺词填空练习和有关in . of 词组的运用，Grammar 则重点讲解状语的知识，第一部分主要是要求学生们划出句子中不同的状语，让

15、学生了解在句子中各种不同状语的形式和用法。第二部分是运用状语进行填空，要求学生们把各种状语填入一篇有关Charles Dickens (查尔斯狄更斯)的文章中，讲练结合，而不是单纯的语法知识讲解，很好的实现了语法交际化、语法实践化的目的。1.8 INTEGRATING SKILLS中是戏剧A Christmas Carol（圣诞欢歌）的第二部分; 在这个戏剧场景中主要是展现了圣诞老人点化顽固的Scrooge和Scrooge改变自我，开始对别人慷慨的过程。再通过阅读, 回答有关戏剧中的一些问题；然后写一篇对本戏剧的评论，要求学生使用有关承担社会责任的句型和词汇，做到语言地道、格式规范。2 教材重
