教学设计理念
主题语境引领下的英语情境教学,
1. 本课教学围绕单元主题创设情境,设计多维活动,实践《课程标准》所倡导的“在语言运用过程中,各种语言技能往往不是单独使用的,理解性技能与表达性技能可能同时使用”;“教师既要关注具体技能的训练,也要关注技能的综合运用”。
2. 《课程标准》指出,“语言技能是语言运用能力的重要组成部分。语言技能包括听、说、读、看、写等方面的技能。听、读、看是理解性技能,说和写是表达性技能。理解性技能和表达性技能在语言学习过程中相辅相成、相互促进。学生应该通过大量的专项和综合性语言实践活动,发展语言技能,为真实语言交际打基础。”本课中,通过进行读听看说写技能的即时训练、提供表达支架并进行课堂环节的总结归纳等,给学生进行了方法的渗透和习惯的培养,有助于学生在未来真实情景中进行真实的语言交际。
教材分析
【What】本版块围绕单元话题,以美国诗人罗布特•弗罗斯特和他的诗歌《未选择的路》为话题,展开一系列具有综合性、关联性和实践性的读(听)、看、说、写等学习活动。读(听)和看部分首先引导学生获取有关诗人以及这首诗的相关信息;然后让学生在此基础上理解和欣赏诗作,领悟诗人所表达的深刻哲理;最后要求学生结合个人体验撰写诗歌评论。环环相扣,相互关联,构成一个“四步一体”的语言综合实践活动。
【Why】通过创设与学生生活密切相关的情境进行任务驱动教学,首先让学生读和听看罗布特•弗罗斯特著名的诗歌《未选择的路》,理解和体会诗歌的寓意,领悟诗歌的美。再通过看一段视频,加深对诗人及诗歌的创作的了解,进一步深化其理解。接着通过说的活动和同伴交流自己对该诗歌的理解,最后再通过写作任务进一步表达自己对该诗歌的所思所想。从而帮助学生从语言输入转向语言输出,综合运用语言,学会用英语口头和书面联系自身经历,表达自己对诗歌的理解,将语言知识转化为实际的语言技能。
【How】创设与主题相关的真实情境,本版块通过让学生读和听理解和赏析诗歌,与reading版块提出的如何赏析诗歌的方法相呼应,使学生能学以致用。接着让学生从视频材料中获取罗布特•弗罗斯特及其诗歌的有关信息,完成相关任务,培养了学生通过看和听获取信息的能力,深化了学生对诗歌的理解,为后续的课堂环节的展开进行了铺垫,有助于学生在说和写的部分联系个人经历,创造性地表达自己的理解和观点。本版块的设计旨在引导学生采用自主学习和合作学习的方式,积极参与语言技能的训练活动,并运用所学积极表达。

Activity 1 Lead in
1. 通过提问Suppose now you face two roads in front of you, and you have to choose one of them while you have no idea where either of them will lead you to. Which road will you take? why?
答案:Facing two unknown roads, I think I’d choose the one that feels “less familiar” to me—maybe the one with a steeper slope, wilder vegetation, or a direction that arouses my curiosity a little more.
The reason isn’t about predicting a “better” outcome (since I can’t know that), but about embracing the nature of choice itself. Life’s most vivid lessons often come from stepping into uncertainty. If both roads are unknown, the one that feels slightly more challenging is likely to teach me more: maybe I’ll learn to notice details I’d miss on an easier path, or discover strengths I didn’t know I had.
●通过问题,引发学生的思考,激发他们主动参与进课堂的兴趣,为接下来的学习做好铺垫。

Activity 2 Listening and Reading
通过听和读,让学生运用之前所学理解和体会《未选择的路》这一诗歌的美。
1. Review:
1) How to read a poem?
2) What aspects should you pay special attention to when you read a poem aloud?
答案:1) ①follow your ears; ②be an explorer; ③have some patience; ④not necessary to fully understand a poem. 2) form-the purpose of the poem; rhythm &rhyme-the poet’s feelings; words-convey the meaning of the poem better.
2. Listen to Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken”. Then discuss and answer the following question:
Are there any repeated words, rhymes or other special sound effects in it?
答案:1) Repeated words: two roads diverged in a yellow wood; 2) Rhyming words: wood/stood/could; both/undergrowth; fair/wear/there; claim/same; lay/day/way; black/ back; sigh/I/by; hence/difference.
3. Read the poem again and answer the following questions:
1) What did the poet do when he faced the two roads and what might be his feeling?
2) Which road did the poet take finally and what did he think of his choice? Which lines show his attitude to his choice?
3) What do the two roads in the poem symbolize?
答案:1) He looked at them one after another as far as he could and he felt undecided which to take. 2) He took the less travelled road even though he was uncertain whether he had made the right choice. The lines that show his attitude are: “I doubted if I should ever come back.” and “I shall be telling this with a sigh”. 3) The road itself symbolizes the journey of life. The image of the road forking off into two paths symbolizes the choices and opportunities we are presented with, which ultimately lead us into the unknown future that lies ahead of us.

Activity 4 Speaking
In pairs, discuss the poem “The Road Not Taken”. Use the following questions and expressions to help you.
1) What message do you think the poem is trying to get across to readers?
2) Have you ever been in a similar situation? Connect your personal experience with the poem.
Use the following expressions to help with you:
Confirming understanding
•The listener
1) Do you mean ...? 2) Are you saying ...?
3)I think you mean ... Am I right?
•The speaker
1) Do you know what I mean?
2)Do you see my point?
3)You understand what I mean, don’t you?
答案:1) “The Road Not Taken” presents the poet and the reader with a dilemma. The central message is that in life we are often presented with choices. When making a choice, one is required to make a decision. Viewing a choice as a fork in a path, we understand that we can only choose one direction or another, but not both. Any person who has made a choice will agree that it is human nature to contemplate “What if...” about the direction you did not choose. But who knows what the future holds down the road? The poet implies that when he is older, he might look back at this turning point in his life—the morning he took the road less travelled, because taking that particular route altered his life in some way.
2) A: The poem “The Road Not Taken” is great. I like Robert Frost’s honest and direct style in this poem. It feels conversational—like he is speaking to me. Do you know what I mean?
B: Definitely! Throughout the poem the speaker uses the word ‘I’, so he seems to be telling me his own experiences. When reading it, I feel like I am also walking in those woods.
A: I agree! I also like Frost’s way of using rural scenes to explore the deep questions about life. He uses the metaphor of the two roads to describe the issue of making choices. At the start of the poem, the speaker sounds resigned while the imagery captures his feelings of uncertainty and regret very well. But by the end of the poem, we know he has accepted his choice, which is wonderful!
B: Are you saying that because making decisions is sometimes difficult, we should accept the feelings we have and trust in the choice we’ve made?
A: Yes, and I can relate to the poem because I came across two diverging roads recently.
B: What happened?
A: Well, I had to make a decision whether to continue violin lessons or calligraphy classes. I just started calligraphy and I’ve been learning the violin for eight years already. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time for both.
B: Which one did you choose?
A: I chose calligraphy because it interests me even though I am not very good at it.
B: Do you mean that you chose “the one less traveled by”?
A: Exactly! I wonder if choosing it will make all the difference to my life!
B: I’m sure it will!

答案:possible version:
Understanding “The Road Not Taken”
“The Road Not Taken” is a poem written by Robert Frost, a famous American poet. Frost is known for his honest and direct style which makes his poems feel conversational. This poem uses the first person perspective throughout, such as in the first stanza, “And be one traveler, long I stood”, so the speaker is sharing his own experiences with us. Frost also uses rural scenes to explore deep questions about life, and metaphor and imagery are employed to represent the feelings we have when faced with decisions. In the first stanza, the readers are asked to visualize diverging roads as the choices we are faced with. Then it continues to connect with emotions we feel during the decision - making process. For example, regret is expressed in the line, “Andsorry I could not travel both”. The second and third stanzas focus on the explanations we give for the choices we have made. The speaker justifies his choice of taking the more mysterious road, when he says, “Because it was grassy and wanted wear”. But, in stanza three we know that he is still thinking about the other more traveled road when he says, “Oh, I kept the first for another day!” However, by the final stanza, the speaker expresses acceptance of his choice, “I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference.” Just as in our lives, we should accept the choices we make.
This poem makes me recall a time when I had come across two diverging roads in my life. I had to choose between continuing my violin lessons and taking calligraphy classes. Calligraphy was “the one less traveled by” for me because I had just started learning it, and that is the one I selected. I am wondering if choosing it will make all the difference to my life. It seems that I will find out as I continue down this path. Activity 6 Language Points
