1、Unit 4Sharing教材分析本单元的话题是Sharing，主要涉及帮助弱者、志愿服务、合作分享等。通过听、说、读、写等各种活动学习相关的语言知识，使学生了解世界上很多地方依然很落后，从而懂得同情，学会分享。了解一些志愿者工作的信息，培养学生互助合作的精神和社会责任感。结合针对短文话题的探讨激发学生的国际意识，通过各种渠道力所能及地为贫困地区的孩子作出自己的贡献。Warming Up部分是一个调查，分成三项任务：首先回顾自己曾经做过的助人为乐的好事，并采访三位同学；然后，根据调查内容列举班级同学所做的好事；最后讨论volunteer的内涵。通过这些任务，让学生懂得什么是“帮助”，反思自己是
2、否乐于助人，以及怎样做才是“志愿者”，由此为后面的短文学习做好铺垫。Prereading是Reading的热身活动。交代了阅读文章的文体(letter)和作者(a young Australian woman，Jo)，还根据她在PNG拍的10张照片提出了5个问题，回答这些问题有助于学生加深理解“志愿者活动”的意义。Reading是一篇Jo写给Rosemary的信。其中介绍Jo在PNG(Papua New Guinea)的一个小山村教书。在她写给Rosemary的信中，作者描述了该村学校的情况和去一个学生家做客的经历，使学生感受到PNG的儿童生活处境的艰难，更加珍惜自己的学习机会。Compreh
3、ending是根据短文设计的阅读理解试题。第一个练习要求学生读懂书信的内容，用表格的形式帮助学生整理书信中提到的关于巴布亚新几内亚村落生活及风俗习惯的信息，属于细节题。第二个练习要求学生对文中提到的五个现象进行分析，说明原因，属于细节推理题。第三个练习要求学生通过阅读分析生活在小山村中的积极面和消极面，这个练习进一步地开阔学生的思维，使学生对艰苦的生活有更深的理解。第四个练习要求学生小组活动，讨论四个问题，进一步巩固学生对于课文内容的理解，并且让学生联系自己的实际情况，通过比较校舍、教学条件、生活状况等方面的问题，引发学生的深层思考，谈谈自己是否愿意参加志愿者活动。第三、四两个练习都属于深层思
4、考的问题。Learning about Language分词汇和语法两部分。其中，第一部分是有关此篇短文中的重点单词和短语。设置了三个练习，一是根据所给解释从所学词汇中选择相应的单词；二是用恰当的词汇完成一篇短文；三是根据解释组成词组，并用词组编对话。第二部分是有关限制性定语从句的复习。 首先从课文中找出含有限制性定语从句的句子；然后用定语从句完成句子，对定语从句加以运用；再用含有定语从句的句子回答问题；最后是两人结对活动，进一步练习使用定语从句。Using Language是对Reading的延伸。通过阅读，参与“Give an unusual gift”的活动。这个部分由三个部分组成，综合
5、训练学生听说读写四个方面的能力。“读与说”通过图文结合的方式，介绍了一些特殊的礼品为穷人和真正需要它们的人选购礼品。阅读之后，完成两个练习：回答问题和把礼物名称和详细介绍配对。“听与说”部分是采访默里大夫的经历，以听力训练为核心设置了四个活动。1.讲述一个人的生平，用到了时间表达法；2.通过列表把握听力中的细节；3.在涉及听力内容之前让学生先就有关听力中的话题进行讨论，有助于学生快速并准确地把握听力内容；4.展开讨论，让学生思考自己将来是否愿意像默里大夫那样做个志愿服务工作者。“写作”根据“听与说”中的话题，运用时间表达方式，根据给出的6个方面对默里大夫的情况进行写作。课时划分在对本单元的各部
6、分材料进行分析、整合后，确定了以下六个重点课时：课时一：Warming Up and Listening(听力课)从话题内容和训练目的来看，Warming Up与Using Language中的Listening and speaking比较接近，所以将Warming Up与Listening and speaking的第1、2、3题和Workbook中的Listening以及Listening Task整合在一起，设计成任务型“听力课”，以训练听前预测的能力和学习用时间表达方式来介绍一个人的生平经历的方法。课时二：Speaking(口语课)将上一节听力课剩下的部分Listening and
7、speaking中的第4题和Workbook中与上节课听力内容相关的Talking以及Speaking Task整合在一起，设计成“口语课”，训练学生用英语表达自己的观点，并且说明这样做的理由。课时三：Prereading and Reading(阅读课)这篇课文是一个志愿者的一封家书，她在巴布亚新几内亚共和国的一个小山村教书。信中详细地描述了她所在学校的情况和她去一个学生家做客的经历。通过这封信，学生可以了解巴布亚新几内亚共和国各部落的生活状况和风俗习惯，同时能够更好地理解志愿者的工作。课时四：Grammar(语法复习课)本单元的语法重点是复习限制性定语从句(Restrictive Attr
8、ibutive Clause)。学生已经学过这个语法点，所以在这节课中，首先对限制性定语从句的特征、关系词做一个简要回顾，然后通过多种形式的练习，如填写关系词、造句和翻译等，使学生逐步掌握限制性定语从句的用法。这些教学环节，如开始部分的听句子、猜同学的游戏和结束部分的翻译或写作练习，都充分体现了在语境中学习语法、在语境中运用语法的教学原则。课时五：Reading，Speaking and Writing Task(综合运用课)这节语言综合运用课把本单元的第二篇文章和课后练习中的写作练习组合到一起。一方面是由于这篇文章“世界上最有用的礼物清单”，内容比较简单，不需要用一整节课来完成；另一方面是课
9、后练习的写作任务给一个被自己资助的孩子写封信，既切合本单元帮助他人的主题，题目中又已经列出了书信的结构，书信的内容也是介绍自己的学习生活，能够与学生的实际结合起来，学生写起来有话可说。课时六：Summing Up and Learning Tip(总结复习课)复习课分成四个板块，板块一是复习课文内容和重要的词组句型。复习课文内容可以通过根据关键词组复述课文、回答问题和学生互批作文(用100词左右写一篇介绍部落生活和风俗的文章)等活动来完成。这篇作文是阅读课的家庭作业，放在此处，既检查了作业，又有助于课文的复习。板块二是复习语言知识，主要是用翻译、填词以及句型转换来复习。板块三是总结和概括语法项
10、目。指导学生完成表格填充、知识树，使学生在脑海中对限制性定语从句形成一个完整的概念。板块四是总结。讨论分享的意义，让学生对于本单元的主题有更加清晰完整的认识，并且由生活中的分享谈到学习上的互相合作与分享，即Learning Tip的内容。学情分析1学生经过高中阶段必修1选修6的学习，具备了一定的阅读技能，如查找细节信息，猜测词义，抓住段落要点和全文大意等，在阅读速度方面也有了较大的提高，这有助于学生较好地完成这个单元的课文阅读。同时，在听、说、写等方面也有了一定的基础。2这个单元的话题是分享、帮助与合作。对于高二的学生而言，他们的价值观人生观已经基本形成，要想通过一个单元的学习，完全改变学生的
11、价值观，难度比较大，但教师可以通过本单元安排的内容，如阅读志愿者的家书，了解一些捐助机构的工作，帮助学生认识这个世界，理解互助合作的意义，即在帮助他人的过程中实现自己的人生价值。3学生在这个单元的学习过程中需要用到预习策略、搜集分析信息策略、归纳整理策略及高效复习策略等。Period 1Warming Up and Listening教学目标1语言知识目标a认识以下单词和短语：volunteer，clinic，challenging，over the last few years，in the future，in two weeks time，a couple of，developing co
