Write about what makes a great scientist 教学设计 【文本解读】 本节课授课内容是选择性必修二第一单元Science and Scientists阅读与写作课The Father of China’s Aerospace & A World of Pure Thought (Write about what makes a great scientist)。两个语篇分别介绍了钱学森和霍金两位伟大科学家。考虑到学生基础和本节课设定的学习目标，本课只选取关于钱学森这一篇文本供学生阅读。该语篇按照时间顺序概述了钱学森的一生，重点介绍了他曲折的求学报国经历，以及他回国后克服困难，在航天科技领域所做的开创性工作，文末还提及他广泛的爱好，以及这些爱好对他开展科学研究的积极影响。语篇采用人物传记的文体形式，通过讲述钱学森的经历、主要成就来体现他作为一个伟大科学家所具备的科学素养。在写作策略和技巧上，语篇有效使用了一些衔接词语，如: however, because等。在授课过程中，需要引导学生采用细节描述来支撑主要观点，同时关注语篇的衔接和连贯，这是对学生写作能力的较高要求。阅读该文本，并提取其框架结构和语言特征，有助于为学生接下来完成写作任务提供支架。其实不论是航天方面取得重大成就的钱学森，还是土里刨食养活全中国人民的袁隆平，他们都有着相似的科学精神。 【学习目标】 1. 通过阅读文本，以填空的方式完成问题链中的问题，获取和梳理钱学森的生活经历、科学成就、兴趣爱好等基本信息；划出文中漂亮的表达（词块）； 2. 提取钱学森作为一个伟大科学家所具备的科学素养；通过头脑风暴，获取更多科学家的品格特征； 3. 通过小组讨论，分析、总结文本的结构特征和语言特点； 4. 在教师给出写作框架的基础上，合理使用恰当的连接词，采用一定的顺序，以袁隆平的事迹为例，尝试写一篇关于伟大科学家必备素养的小短文。 【学习过程】 1. 梳理文本基本信息。 Activity 1: Read and find out the answers to the following questions.
