20、C 以及 Text 的Main idea. 这里学生们将进一步了解报纸的种类；报纸通常分哪些部分；出版一份报纸一般需要哪些人负责，他们的具体工作是什么？他们还将讨论看报纸的利与弊。因为是初夏下午的第一节课，学生易产生困倦，因此，在准备阶段，我特意选择了一首节奏欢快的英语歌曲（中文名为剪羊毛 ） 。然后从这首歌曲自然引出话题：What do you do after supper?(具体环节见 Warming-up.) 让学生谈论这一话题的目的在于引出本课时的主题 -Newspapers. 之后，通过 Brainstorming, 让学生去想、去了解各种各样的报纸。为了帮助学生更好地了解和熟悉报
21、纸，我利用多媒体向学生展示了各种报纸的图片，让他们仔细观察后，告诉我，他们通常在报纸上可以看到哪些项目？并请他们 To list the different items one can find in a newspaper. 层次好的同学会回答 pictures; sports; world news; weather forcasts; advertisments; stories; local news 等等，这将为 While-task 过程中的 Reading A 作很好的铺垫。因为 Reading A 要求学生根据所给的每一段信息判断它们分别属于哪一类的新闻。 （具体见While-
22、task 的第一个环节）在 While-task 过程中的另一个教学重点是处理课文。在处理课文前，我先让学生初步熟悉和理解课文中出现的重点词组，如：hold a meeting; vote for sb.; elect sb. to be the chief editor等，我基本上是按它们在课文中出现的顺序整理的。这样的安排有助于下一步的“听课文录音，并判断 T 或 F”。借助于这些词组，学生能更好地理解和掌握课文的大意。因为课文较长，我将它分成了两次让学生听，第一次，先请他们听前五节，并根据这五节的内容做六个是非题；余下的三节，在第二次让学生听完后简单地回答七个问题。在他们掌握了课文的主要
23、内容，了解了出版一份报纸一般需要哪些人去负责，具体分工又如何时，我才让学生做 Reading C Find the facts. 即写出 Pansy, Tony, Joyce, Millie and Arthur 的工作分别是什么。 （因为他们的工作分别是什么，只有学习了整篇课文后学生才会知道。 ）在 Post-task 这个环节中，我设计了二个问题让学生讨论：1.If you were in the group, what job would you be interested in? Why? 2. What do you think of newspapers? 既复习了前面学到的 ch
24、ief editor, secretary 等工作的名称，同时也复习了他们分别具体做些什么，如: secretary: to take notes.等。让学生谈论报纸的利与弊，既是对学生“说”的能力的培养，也是为下一课时的 Listening“Correcting mistakes in an article”作准备。 （这一听力练习正好展示了报纸的“弊端”之一，那就是：报纸上说的不完全是对的或是真实的。 ）在 Conclusion 阶段，我不仅帮助学生回顾了在本课时所学习的重点，还不失时机地对他们进行了德育的渗透，我希望他们能多看报纸，关心国家，了解国家大事，并从现在起努力学习，准备好肩负建
25、设祖国的重任。教学反思：来源:xyzkw.Com本课时是本人在本校组内上的一堂公开课。准备阶段时，我请学生举例各种报纸的名称及在每份报纸上常可以看到哪些项目，如：信件、广告、当地新闻、天气预报等。因为在课前作了布置，学生作好了充分的准备，因此课堂反应很不错，学生的回答涉及的面很广，开了一个好头，使下面的教学环节能顺利地进行下去。从同事们的评课来看，她们认为教学环节设计得不错，各环节流畅，教学重点也突出，关于课文内容所设计的那些题目也很好，很有层次性，也能有效促进学生对课文的理解。另一优点就是在家作的布置上，我体现了“分层” ，让每个学生都有事情可做。结合她们的看法，我认为需要在以下几个方面作改
26、进。如：在 While-task 这一环节中，在要求学生 Answer questions 后，我又安排了 “Find the facts”这一环节，本来这一环节不仅能进一步检查学生对课文的理解程度，也能帮助学生更好地归纳和总结出版一份报纸所需要的工作人员及他们的具体分工，但我在这一环节中花得时间太少，只是简单急促地带过了。这一环节该好好利用才是。另外，对于“Main phrases”的解释，我采用了中文，最好改为英文。因为现在的考题中往往要求学生根据英文注解来写出或找出相应的单词或短语。在 Post-task 这一环节中，我本来设计了三个问题请学生讨论。在课堂上我也确实要求学生一一讨论并汇报了。但因为讨论内容过多，安排学生讨论的时间就相对应地给得少了些。且学生交流看法的时间也显得太仓促了。因此，设计这一环节的意义就显得没了。课后，经过反思，我觉得可把第二个问题：What would you like to call your new newspaper? Why?留到家作中去。当然，除上述缺点外，肯定还有很多地方值得改进。我将在今后的教学中博采众人之长，并刻苦钻研，努力备好课、上好课，更好地提高四十分钟的课堂效率。 学优-中考$，网
