13、资料。任务二是真实任务前的模拟，让学生从大家喜欢的动物中挑选两至三种安排小组去动物园的参观路线。真实任务是来源于对秋游的设想，打算组织学生去北京动物园，分小组活动，要求各小组有自己的参观计划，必须明确列及原因，并根据地图说出大致的方位。课堂完成任务后，课后任务对课堂的延伸和巩固，因此选择了学生较感兴趣的野生动物问题，同时兼有美术和生物学科的学习，一举多得。二课后反思：本课设计上思路非常明晰，由潜入深，教师带领着学生一步一个脚印，渐渐进入任务，让学生非常自然的领会本课的知识点。任务的设计贴近学生生活，有趣又实用，学生的参与非常热烈。教师对课堂的把握非常到位，收放自如。不足之处在于野生动物的话题过于广泛，教师可给与适当的指导，提供方向性的资料利于学生课下任务的完成。
