1、Lesson 3 Life Stories 教材分析本课是第十六单元第三课。课文讲述的是海伦.凯勒在家庭教师的帮助下学习语言的故事。由于本课是叙述性文体，所以学生在理解篇章方面要遵循时间发展的顺序，着重理解海伦学习单词的过程她是如何突破身体的障碍的，如何学习各种单词的，以及她的切身感受。在理解的过程中通过上下文猜测生词词义。另外，学生还需要掌握一个重要的阅读策略预测。在读前通过看标题、图片、文章的开头来预测文章的内容，了解文章大意。本课计划按两课时进行，第一课时的重点是阅读理解，并能在学完后对故事进行复述；第二课时的重点是处理文中的语言点，强化重点词汇及短语的学习，设置练习恰当地使用新学词汇。
