教学内容:Charity
课型:词汇课
一、 教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的第二课时,核心目标为帮助学生理解课文中的生词、能正确使用部分生 词和词组、能用所学词汇分享自己的捐助经历及原因并且能提升思辨能力正确评价判断生活 中包括慈善在内的其他情形。
2. 设计思路
本文是一篇说明文,分析了人们是否捐款这一决定背后的两个道德特质:同理心和正义 感。如果前者占据上风,则人们会倾向于捐助。反之,在正义感的驱使下,特别是在被捐助 者有能力解决问题甚至应该自食其果的时候,人们不愿意捐助。从词汇学习的角度,本课时 的重点在于帮助学生认知相关词汇,读懂是否捐款背后的原理,辩证地看待两种对立的选择; 难点在于掌握部分动词和其介词的习惯搭配,能够运用所学词汇描述生活中相似的经历。
3. 重点难点
能用所学词汇分享自己的捐助经历及原因,能提升思辨能力正确评价判断生活中包括慈 善在内的其他情形。
Lesson Plan
By the end of the period, students are expected to:
. understand the meanings of the new words in the text, e.g. prompt, determine, moral, trait, justice, characteristic, conform, and recall.
. learn usages of some of the new words and phrases, e.g. the word formation of empathise and the collocations of the prepositions in lean towards, relate to, slip into, be responsible for, reach out, and reach for.
. use the vocabulary they have learned to share their own experiences on donating and the reasons why they donated or not.
. develop critical thinking skills to make proper judgments in situations besides charity in the
future.
Procedures:
Task 1
Ss ’ activities:
1. Recall the two moral traits that may determine whether or not we donate: empathy and a sense of justice.
2. Look for the word formation of empathy in the text and guess what parts of speech are empathic and empathise.
3. Complete the given sentences by filling the blanks using empathy, empathic and empathise. Purposes:
1. To review the important information of the text and lead in the target new words.
2. To understand the meanings and usages of the relative words.
3. To infer the meanings, antonym, synonym and other knowledge on word formation on their
own.
Guided questions:
1. According to the text, what are the two moral traits that may determine whether or not we donate? “Determine” means to decide sth. or make sth. happen. (Empathy and a sense of justice.) What does “a sense of justice” mean? What’s the meaning of empathy? Can you find its verb and adjective forms from the text? (Empathise, empathic.)
Target words: determine, justice, empathy, empathise, empathic
2. Can you complete the sentences using empathy, empathic and empathise?
1) Having begun my life in a children's home, I have great with the little ones.
(empathy)
2) As a psychologist, my tendency is to be . (empathic)
3) I clearly with the people who live in those neighbourhoods because I grew up in
one of them. (empathise)
3. Do you know the meaning of moral? Can you find the antonym of moral from Paragraph 5? (Immoral.) What about the meaning of trait? Can you find its synonym from the Paragraph 3? (Characteristic.)
Target words: moral, immoral, trait, characteristic
Task 2
Ss ’ activities:
1. Pick from the given situations the man who will prompt more people to donate. 2. Pick from the given situations the person who is the most likely to donate.
Purposes:
1. To further understand the impact of the two moral traits on whether we donate or not and the immense power of empathy that prompts us to donate.
2. To develop critical thinking skills to make proper judgments.
Guided questions:
1. Which of the following situations prompt more people to reach for their wallets and donate? “To prompt sb. to do sth.” means to encourage sb. to do sth. (Situation A.) According to the text, why not Situation B?
Situation A. A homeless man caused by Wenchuan earthquake. Situation B. A homeless man due to alcohol use.
(Because according to Paragraph 4, “if you believe that a homeless man has caused his own misfortune and you are pretty sure he could have made better choices than he did,” or we can say he is responsible for his own situation, “then you will probably lean towards not giving any money.”)
Target words: prompt, lean towards, be responsible for
2. Which of the following people is the most likely to reach out to the homeless man due to alcohol use, while which the least? According to the text, why?
A. A teenager with a strong sense of right and wrong.
B. An old lady who cries every time she watches a sad movie.
C. A middle-aged man who often recalls his having been addicted to alcohol when he was young. (The teenager in Situation A is the least likely to reach out because of his/her sense of justice. The people in Situation B and C might donate because according to Paragraph 4, “if you can relate to the pain that would cause him to slip into the hopeless situation, then you would probably lean towards empathic giving.”)
Target words: reach out, recall, relate to, slip into
3. Among all the factors we take into account before donating, what prompts us to reach out according to the research? (The research confirms the immense power of empathy.)
Target word: confirm
