人教版高中英语必修三 Unit 2 Morals and virtues Reading for Writing
Grade:
Senior 1
Analyses of teaching materials
The theme of this section is “Share your opinions about a moral story”, which focuses on human social responsibility.
What: The reading text “The Stone in the Road” is a fable portraying a king’s experiment.to assess public attitudes towards a problem. By putting a large stone in the roadway and burying gold coins under it, the king observed people’s responses. Despite numerous complaints about the stone’s inconvenience and even personal losses, none were willing to solve the problem. Ultimately, a kind and sincere young girl removed the stone, earning gold coins and the king’s praise.
Why: This part requires students to write story reviews, and the purpose is to let them analyze the story from the surface to the inside, correctly interpret the author’s point of view, at the same time reasonably organize the language to express their own feelings and opinions, and recognize the importance of being a responsible person with noble character, so as to form a correct outlook on life and values.
How: The fable is a literary genre found in both China and the West. Its length is generally not long, the language is concise, the plot is simple but very expressive, mostly using personification, metaphor, symbolism and other rhetorical devices to reveal educational themes or profound truths. Most of the fables are educational or contain profound truths. Therefore, students should not only understand the surface meaning of the story, but also learn to interpret its deeper meaning. For example, what does the “stone” symbolize in the text? How is the girl who carries the stone different from the others? If the whole story is related to personal life or the current situation of the whole society, what is the meaning of the story? As individuals, what responsibilities should we take in the face of social problems? These are all questions that students should explore deeply.
Analysis of Students
The target group of this class is senior students. After studying the content of the first three lessons, students are enriched with unit theme vocabulary and expressions, and have the ability to read and understand fables and summarize the moral. Students are unfamiliar with the structural elements of critical writing. Usually, after reading a fable, students only focus on the storyline and moral, while the teacher should use this as an entry point and focus on inspiring students to think deeply about the meaning of the theme of “morals and virtues”. There are still some words in the new textbook that are unfamiliar to the students. The task of commenting on the story is relatively tricky as students have little contact with it. Therefore, this lesson should guide the students to understand the reason and explain the reason clearly.
Teaching Objectives
At the end of this lesson, students will have:
1. Language ability: learned and mastered the structure and main points of writing fable review, and completed the task of writing and evaluating each other’s reviews;
2. Learning ability: identified the elements of the fable (who-what-why) and summarized the main idea concisely through reading and guided by the chain of questions; sorted out
the storyline with the help of the story mountain and compared the characters’ behaviors;
3. Cultural awareness: practiced and passed on traditional Chinese virtues, and enhanced cultural self-confidence by reflecting on oneself in the context of real life;
4. Thinking capacity: worked in groups to deduce the author’s purpose of writing, critically evaluated the behavior of characters, and clearly expressed personal opinions.
Important &Difficult Points:
Guide students to analyze the deeper meaning of moral fable through the comparison of characters’ words and deeds; encourage students to express their own insights and opinions in the context of real-life cases; and instruct students to write a review of the fable with a clear point of view and a clear hierarchy.
