Unit 8 Literature Lesson 1 The Last Leaf 高二年级英语学科 1 Text Analysis 【What】教学材料为欧亨利著名短篇小说The Last Leaf的简写版。故事讲述了几个身处社会底层的穷画家在困难中相互扶持、相互帮助的感人故事。故事中的主要人物Johnsy是一位身患肺炎奄奄一息的青年画家。她将所有的生存意志都放在最后一片藤叶上。挽救她生命的是一位“失败的”老画家贝尔曼。为画最后一片常春藤叶子而献出自己的生命的故事。 【Why】作者希望读者通过阅读本文了解Johnsy生命转危为安的过程，思考生命的脆弱与坚韧及人与人间的互助、关爱与奉献。 【How】作者欧亨利运用细腻的笔触描绘、烘托了身处绝境的Johnsy的心态及其心态的转变,例如：apartments with north-facing windows; She lay, barely moving, in her bed staring at a blank wall under her blanket; Johnsy’s eyes were open, but they were not watching her; One leaf bravely held on in the wind and rain; She asked for some food.作者透过侧面描写和意外的结局勾勒了贝尔曼的人物性格；运用拟人手法描写肺炎，体现了生命的残酷和无常。以上写作手法均服务于故事主旨的揭示。 2 Teaching Objectives At the end of this lesson, the students will be able to: 学习 理解类 应用 实践类 迁移 创新类 Get detailed information about the change in Johnsy after seeing the last leaf.
