A Modern and Popular City

曲鴻梅

Part 1：設計理念

教材分析：因學校是五四學制，學生六年級已經完成了小初銜接教學，七年級上學期學習任務相對輕松。為進一步擴大學生的閱讀量，提高學生的閱讀能力，結合本學期所學內容，有針對性地對學生進行課外閱讀拓展訓練。課外閱讀是課內閱讀教學的輔助與補充，可有效解決七年級學生閱讀量不足的問題。在閱讀教學過程中，教師要注重培養學生對語篇的領悟與分析能力，更要重視培養學生的語言運用能力和文化意識。

文本分析：為滿足七年級學生的閱讀需求，本節課選取了一篇介紹哈爾濱的說明文。說明文是以說明為主要表達方式的文體，要求抓住事物的特點，采用舉例子、列數字等說明方法，客觀地來說明事物或闡明事理，要求語言簡明，說明方法嚴謹，文章結構清晰，條理性強，便于學生讀后仿寫。

Part 2：教學目標

1.知識目標：（1）了解說明文的文體特征;（2）學習舉例子、列數字等說明方法。

2.能力目標：（1）引領學生“吃透”文本，把握說明文的文脈，培養學生運用所學知識表達觀點、口述同類文章的能力，最終提升學生的讀后仿寫綜合語言能力;（2）培養學生使用思維導圖對文段進行解析的技能。

3.情感目標：培養學生熱愛家鄉，熱愛祖國的情感。

Part 4：板書設計

（設計意圖：本篇文章是關于介紹哈爾濱的說明文。首先圍繞哈爾濱這一主題，在板書中設計標志性建筑和代表哈爾濱的圖片，讓學生更好地融入情景之中。以龍塔為背景，從最下面的文體開始分析，到結構，再到內容，最后品析語言，代表著對一篇說明文層層剖析的邏輯順序。學生能在圖片的輔助下更好地理解這篇文章的脈絡并在寫作中體現出清晰的邏輯性。）

Part5： 反思

本節課通過閱讀來促進仿寫，課程容量比較大。在完成全部環節的目標下，存在“匆忙”的現象。在復述課文和口頭作文輸出環節給學生消化的時間不足，練習不充分，可能會影響學生的最終仿寫。同時，在這節課引領學生進行文本深度剖析的過程中，我深深體會到，英語的讀寫過程是不可分割的有機體，教師要注意二者的內在聯系。在教學中，教師不僅要注重對知識的講解，更要重視對閱讀文本的解讀。學生只有在明確文本的內容、結構、語言特點等前提下，有針對性地積累素材和方法，才會在寫作時有話可說、有法可循、有據可依。總之，“以讀促寫”這種教學策略，不僅能夠提升學生的閱讀能力，也可以逐步提高學生的寫作能力，培養其英語學科核心素養。

學生的智力發展離不開良好的閱讀能力，閱讀是培養學生愛好的重要手段。課外閱讀既是思考的大船借以航行的帆，也是讓思考鼓帆前進的風。我們能通過教師的有效指導幫助學生把握閱讀的方法，也很有可能總結出一種“模式”。但是，“模式”是一把雙刃劍，它也可能會制約一個人的思想。所以，我們教給學生的是方法而不是框架。好的方法是符合一個人的學習和認知規律的，科學的學習方法需要我們努力探索。前路漫漫，吾將上下而求索。
