一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的最后一个课时,核心目标为引导学生探究模拟贸易活动的游戏,初步
理解经济学中需求第一定律的内涵,同时在游戏活动中,充分展开围绕主题语境的交际活
动,在探究和创造中运用语言知识和技能。最后,利用课文中的自我评估问题,引导学生
监控并反思本单元学习的内容和学习过程中的策略。
2. 设计思路
本课为本单元的探究活动,需要创设尽可能真实的语境,来帮助学生体验经济学中贸
易活动背后的供需定律,从而加深多主题语境的理解。
在导入环节中,充分利苏伊士运河被油轮封堵,导致国际原油价格短期波动的真实国
际事件,让学生对探究活动的主旨产生直观体验。
在活动准备环节,通过小组分工的环节,引导学生思考真实贸易环境下经济学原理,
会计专业知识,语言沟通技能等等的综合作用,整合学科素养,完成第一轮游戏。然后,
通过抽签,随机调整游戏中的某一项物资的量与价格,开展第二轮游戏。通过两轮交易,
学生以小组为单位展开博弈,绘制“财务报表”和“供需曲线”,为之后的反思总结环节
奠定基础。两轮游戏之后,学生以小组为单位,在课文探究性问题的引导下,展开对游戏
内涵的探究,通过分析活动成果,理解供需定律。
最后,通过回答课文中的自我评价问题,并完成学案中的表格,学生完成对整个单元
的学习自评活动。
3. 重点难点
在两轮贸易模拟游戏中展开有效博弈,记录过程并绘制“供需曲线”。
