Unit 3 Festivals and Customs Welcome to the unit 课件-2025-2026学年高中英语译林版（2020）必修第二册

该高中英语课件围绕“节日与习俗”主题，系统设计了从导入到总结的完整教学流程，通过中外节日对比、视频任务驱动和小组讨论活动，构建起语言输入与输出之间的学习支架，引导学生在真实语境中理解文化内涵并表达观点。 其亮点在于融合语言能力、文化意识与思维品质三大核心素养，以“Yi Peng Lantern Festival”“Midsummer’s Day”和“Day of the Dead”三个国际节日为切入点，通过视频观看、预测填空、相似性比较等环节，强化跨文化认知与批判性思维。例如，在Activity 1中，学生需找出中国节日与外国节日的共通点，如元宵节与泰国灯笼节均强调灯笼制作，这不仅锻炼了信息提取与归纳能力，也深化了对中华传统节日的理解。教师可借此提升课堂互动质量，学生则能在比较中增强文化自信，发展用英语讲述中国故事的能力。

Prediction Festivals can tell us a lot about the cultures of different countries. Watch the video and finish the following exercises. Yi Peng Lantern Festival is celebrated in Chiang Mai, Thailand. During the festival, you can see different styles of lanterns and special parades around Chiang Mai. On the evening of the full moon in the 12th Thai lunar month, people light hundreds of paper lanterns and launch them into the air. This is a way to let bad memories go and make a wish for the future. In Sweden, the winters are long and cold. There are only six hours of daylight in Stockholm, its capital city, and 24 hours of darkness further north. As a result, the Swedish people like summers very much and celebrate Midsummer’s Day. This festival is traditionally held on the Saturday between 20th and 26th of June. People hold parties, singing and dancing around a midsummer pole traditionally called a “maypole”. The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday which lasts for three days, beginning on 31 October and ending on 2 November. Throughout the country and beyond, people take some time to remember loved ones who are no longer alive. Traditions include visiting graves with flowers and gifts for the dead, eating sweet bread, and telling stories about dead family members or friends. Believe it or not, the Day of the Dead is not a sad festival. Many Mexicans sing and dance at this festival, believing that the souls of the dead return every year to visit their loved ones.
