1、Unit 3 Australia第一部分金色教案教学设计说明About the topic and the structures单元话题和结构本单元的话题是“澳大利亚”，了解有关澳洲的地理、旅游动物等方面的知识。澳大利亚联邦（Commonwealth of Australia），简称澳大利亚或澳洲，是全球面积第六大国家，也是大洋洲最大的国家。澳大利亚所在的大陆是地球上最小的一块大陆，通常也被称为澳洲或澳洲大陆。东南方是新西兰、北方有巴布亚新几内亚、西巴布亚和东帝汶，印度尼西亚位于澳大利亚的西北方。“澳大利亚”一词来自拉丁语中的“terra australis incognita”（“未知的南方
2、大陆”）。本单元还将学习“词语、短语、不定式和从句作表语”。金色教案教学设计在单元课时划分上与课本保持一致，即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中，我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排的因素，对课本、对金色教案教学设计重新划分课时、裁剪、拼接使用我们提供的材料，以便“物尽所用”，达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以按照我们提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。Period 1Reading 阅读课Warming Up 教师可以从“了解澳洲”、“看图说话”和“听国歌”三种热身形式选择一种导入新课，激发背景知识、为其后的阅读作好词语、结构和心理的准备。Pre-re
3、ading主要是通过朗读活动帮助学生熟悉课文，为其后的阅读做心理的铺垫和准备。Reading是篇说明文，说明澳大利亚的地理、风俗、旅游和动物。教师应引导学生从语言形式入手学习课文，进而理解意义。我们提供的“表格”、“结构图”等，都可以帮助学生理解词语、把握结构、理解课文。补充：澳大利亚全国有多种自然景观，其中包括迷人的热带雨林，被称为“红色中央”的干燥贫瘠的沙漠，白雪皑皑的山峰，绵羊遍野的牧场以及引人入胜的海滨，还有驰名遐迩的天然遗产大堡礁和乌卢鲁岭（原称艾尔斯岭）。 Period 2Learning about language 知识课Learning about language首先仿写学

6、料为教师所用，也可以直接或改写、重组后作为课堂内外的拓展性阅读材料呈现给学生。Section 2Explanation解析重点针对“阅读课型”中的课文难句，我们提供了详尽的，就句论句的解析和翻译，并且以解析的焦点话题为线索，进行了一定的归纳、辨析和总结，以帮助教师更好地实施“语言形式”的教学。Section 3Vocabulary词汇按照课本单元词汇表顺序，我们重点提供动词、短语搭配的讲解。所提供的例句，经典、地道、实用、易懂，完全可以直接用于教学。Part 1 Teaching Design第一部分：教学设计Period 1 A sample lesson plan for reading(
