牛津译林版高中英语选择性必修一课件Unit1ThemassmediaReading5Beacriticalnewsreader!制作者：桂东一中李宇平

内容分析【What】本板块话题为“做一名有判断力的新闻读者”，由两篇新闻报道和一篇论说文组成。两则新闻是对亨德森大楼火灾的报道：第一篇强调了消防员面对火情反应迅速，很快赶到现场并扑灭大火；第二篇侧重用数据体现火灾之严重并给出火灾原因的初步调查结果。论说文以两篇报道为例，分析了基于同一事件的不同报道之间产生信息差异甚至互相矛盾的种种原因，并就如何批判性阅读新闻报道给出了切实可行的建议。

【Why】本板块先给出两篇新闻报道，然后对其进行分析和讨论，以此完成对“批判性阅读新闻”这一主题的探讨，旨在帮助我们清晰而深入地理解成为一名有判断力的新闻读者的目的和意义，并学会在实际生活中进行实践。如文中所说，对待新闻信息需运用自己的判断力，而非盲目相信。本板块的学习能够培养我们的思维品质，让我们在充斥着各种媒体信息的现代社会中学会批判性思考。

【How】本板块的三个文本互相关联，有机结合，整体服务于板块话题。两篇新闻报道结构清晰、内容翔实、语言简练，具有鲜明的新闻体裁特征。虽然讲述的是同一事件，但标题、日期、配图等细节均体现了差异，为后面的论说分析作铺垫。报道中的用词以及呈现事实性信息的方式则有助于我们掌握新闻报道的撰写技巧，为后面板块的活动作准备。论说文首先通过提问的方式引发我们思考新闻信息差异的原因，并在例证过程中指导我们如何批判性地阅读新闻报道。文章分析层层深入，观点明确，引证可信，不仅对我们培养批判性阅读能力有着积极的指导意义，还能让我们熟悉论说文的文体特征。◆教学目标Bytheendofthissection,wewillbeableto:1.identifythekeyinformationinthetwonewsreportsandthedifferencesbetweenthem;2.understandthereasonsforthedifferencesbetweennewsreportsandthewaystobeacriticalnewsreader;3.graspthelanguagefeaturesandwritingtechniquesofanewsreport;4.knowabouthowtobecomeagoodjournalist.Mostofuslearnaboutnewsthroughthemassmedia,butcanwejustbelievenewsasitispresented?Thetwonewsreportsandthearticlebelowencourageyoutobeacriticalnewsreader.Beforeyoureadthenewsreportsandthearticle,thinkaboutthefollowingquestions:1)Doyoubelieveeverythingyoureadinanewsreport?Whyorwhynot?present/prɪˈzent/v.（口头或书面）表达，表示;描述;陈述
