摘要:
该初中英语课件围绕“Steve Jobs”主题,涵盖词汇(如found、give up、set up)、一般过去时与被动语态等核心知识。课堂导入通过提问“Who is he?”“What's his company?”激活已知,Pre-reading预测文本结构,While-reading以逐段词汇解析和表格填写为支架,帮助学生构建从基础信息到深层理解的学习脉络。
其亮点在于融合语言能力与思维品质培养,如通过文本语境学习短语动词(set up、give up)提升语言运用能力,引导学生辩证分析Jobs的坚持与性格缺点(Activity 3表格对比正负观点)。采用任务型教学(辩论“是否想经营大公司”)和分层作业(基础抄写、提升短文、拓展介绍),学生能锻炼表达与批判思维,教师可直接依托模块实施教学,提高课堂效率。

Activity 6 Group Work Work in groups.Discuss whether Steve Jobs isa good role model for young people. Then have a debate withother groups.
We support that Steve Jobs is a good role model for young people. He was a visionary innovator who created products that changed the world. His resilience after being fired from Apple and his ability to bounce back show young people that failure isn’t the end.
Activity 6 Group Work Work in groups.Discuss whether Steve Jobs isa good role model for young people. Then have a debate withother groups.
We disagree. Steve Jobs had serious character flaws, like being impatient and blunt. Young people might learn the wrong lesson, thinking they can be rude or unkind as long as they’re successful. Also, his success is too unique to be a practical model for most young people.

Language points
1. In 1976, Steve founded Apple Computer Inc. with two friends.
含义:描述过去发生的动作或状态,常与表示过去的时间状语(如 “in 1976”“in 1985”“when he grew up”)搭配。
结构:
肯定句:主语 + 动词过去式 + 其他
否定句:主语 + didn’t + 动词原形 + 其他(be 动词的过去式 “was/were” 否定式为 “wasn’t/weren’t”)
→ They played football yesterday.
2. He was given up soon after his birth.(“他” 是 “被放弃(收养)” 的承受者)
作被动语态的核心作用是强调动作的 “承受者”(即 “谁被做了某事”),而非动作的 “执行者”。
被动语态的公式为:主语(动作承受者) + be 动词 + 动词过去分词 + (by + 动作执行者)
He is recognised by many as the father of the digital revolution.(“被许多人认可”)
