一、教学设计与说明
1. 教学目标
本课为本单元的第 6 课时,核心目标为引导学生谈论动物及人和动物的关系, 并培养学生从不同角度看待事物的能力。
2. 设计思路
本课由对课文图片和标题的猜测导入,引起学生阅读文本的兴趣。接着, 学 生通过快速浏览全文找出本篇记叙文的主人公,根据文本中的时间线索,梳理两 位主人公之间具体发生的故事情节。随后学生带着问题再次细读语篇, 找出两位 主人公之间和谐关系的具体表现。结束语篇阅读后, 由学生两两组合,分别假扮 记者和主人公 Joao,通过对话形式,重述两位主人公之间的友谊故事。该活动既 深入语篇,帮助学生了解记叙文的基本要素,又帮助学生内化所学内容。复述课 文完毕后,由学生假设自己是企鹅,通过内心独白的方式,向主人公 Joao 表达 谢意。该活动为通过换位思考来提高学生的批判性思维打下基础。最后要求学生 分组仔细观察四幅动物图片,描述图片中动物的感受,并站在动物的角度阐明自 己希望如何被人类对待。
3. 重点难点
引导学生理解课文主旨大意和记叙文文体特征,提高学生思辨能力,培养并 建立与动物的和谐关系。
