教材分析(Textbook Analysis)
1. 地位和作用:本课时是Unit7核心内容,Reading聚焦中国生肖文化内涵、12生肖配对及象征意义,贴合中职生传统文化素养培养与跨文化交际需求(如文旅类专业向海外游客介绍生肖);Culture Corner围绕生肖传说展开,助力学生了解生肖起源,增强文化自信,为后续“传统文化写作”“跨文化生肖介绍”奠定基础。
2. 知识衔接:承接Unit7 Warm-up&Listening的生肖基础词汇(rat, ox等),拓展“象征意义短语”(a symbol of wisdom)、“叙事句型”(On his way to...)及“while对比从句”,为语法应用铺垫。
3. 适应性分析:内容贴近中职生生活(本命年、生肖祝福),补充“导游介绍生肖”职业案例;重点培养“提取生肖象征意义”“描述生肖传说”能力,兼顾语言应用与文化素养。
学情分析(Study situation analysis)
1. 知识储备:掌握rat, ox等基础生肖词汇及简单陈述句(This is the Year of the Tiger.),但对“象征意义短语”“叙事词汇”(messenger)及复杂句型储备不足。
2. 能力水平:能读懂简单生肖文本,但“提取配对象征意义”“理解叙事长句”能力待提升;能用简单句描述生肖,但整合信息复述传说的能力较弱。
3. 兴趣态度:对生肖象征、传说关注度高,通过“导游模拟”“生肖配对游戏”易激发参与热情,对“生肖文化跨文化传播”兴趣浓厚。
4. 学习困难:对长句(On his way to the gate, he came across a river.)理解困难;生肖象征的英语表达应用不熟练。

设计意图(Design Intentions)
Step 1:导入
(Lead-in)
1. 播放“12生肖趣味动画”(含生肖拟人化形象),笑着说:“同学们,动画里的生肖是不是超可爱?我猜有人是虎年出生的‘小老虎’,有人是兔年的‘小兔子’,对吧?”提问:“What’s your zodiac sign? Do you know what it stands for?(预设学生:My zodiac sign is the Pig. My mom says it means I’m agreeable.)”
1. 笑谈动画,举手分享自己的生肖:“我是龙年出生的!奶奶说龙代表厉害!”;回答提问:“My zodiac sign is the Tiger. It stands for bravery.”
用生肖动画贴近学生生活体验,激发情感共鸣;通过互动让学生意识到生肖文化的普遍性,为Reading铺垫情感与词汇基础。
Step2: 阅读
(Reading)
1. 初读感知:播放Reading文本录音,说:“Listen and find: What are the 12 zodiac animals divided into?(预设答案:Six pairs, and each pair has different symbolic meanings.)”
2. 精读分析:展示文本分段内容,逐组提问:
(1)“What do Rat and Ox symbolise?(预设:Rat is wisdom while Ox is hard work.)”
(2)“What about Dragon and Snake?(预设:Dragon is strength and hardness while Snake is changeability.)”
(3)“What’s the symbol of Dog and Pig?(预设:Dog is trustiness while Pig is agreeable.)”
3. 教材练习:发放“Read and fill the form”练习单,说:“Work in pairs! Fill the form in 5 mins. Let’s invite 2 pairs to show your answers!”(巡视指导,纠正“symbolise”等单词发音错误)
1. 听录音,圈出“six pairs, symbolic meanings, wisdom”等关键词,举手答:“The 12 animals are divided into six pairs with different symbolic meanings.”
2. 精读文本,用不同颜色荧光笔标记6组生肖的象征意义,跟读长句:“Tiger is a symbol of bravery and strength while Rabbit symbolises carefulness.”并造句:“My zodiac sign is the Rabbit. It symbolises carefulness.”
3. 小组结对完成教材填表练习,填写示例如下:
(1)Tiger & Rabbit: bravery and strength; carefulness
(2)Dragon & Snake: strength and hardness; changeability
(3)Horse & Sheep: purposefulness and marching forward; peace
(4)Monkey & Rooster: workability; firmness
(5)Dog & Pig: trustiness; agreeable
分层阅读任务(初读抓分组规则→精读抓象征细节)帮助逐步理解文本;结合教材“填表练习”强化文本信息提取能力,落实“技能目标”;结对互动提升口语表达能力,突破“提取生肖象征意义”的知识重点。
Step3:文化角
(Culture Corner)
1. 导入:播放“鼠排第一”的趣味动画,说:“大家看,鼠明明个子最小,却成了生肖老大!你们知道这是为啥吗?”提问:“Why do you think Rat got the first place in the zodiac?(预设学生:Because he is smart! He cheated Ox!)”
2. 阅读任务:发放Culture Corner文本,说:“Read and finish 2 tasks: ① Underline the key plot of the story; ② Circle the verbs about Rat’s action.(4 mins)”
3. 讨论:组织小组讨论:“Why is the Chinese Zodiac important in Chinese culture?(预设学生:It’s part of our tradition, and it’s related to our birth years.)”,每组选1人分享。
1. 看动画,兴奋举手:“我知道!鼠躲在牛耳朵里,到天庭才跳出来,抢了第一!”
2. 速读文本,标记关键信息:
① 关键情节:Jade Emperor wanted 12 guards → animals set off → Rat jumped into Ox’s ear → Rat rushed to Emperor first → Rat got first place.
② 核心动词:set off, came across, jumped into, rushed to
3. 小组讨论,分享观点:“The Chinese Zodiac is important because it’s a part of traditional culture. We can know people’s personality from their zodiac signs.”
动画直观呈现生肖传说场景,激发文化探索欲;阅读任务聚焦“核心情节”与“动作动词”,简化信息提取难度;讨论环节结合传统文化价值,提升文化自信,落实“情感目标”。
Step4: 语言学习
(Language Study)
1. 核心短语精讲:
Reading部分:
① a symbol of wisdom:例句:Rat is a symbol of wisdom in the Chinese Zodiac.(鼠是中国生肖中智慧的象征。)
② bravery and strength:例句:Tiger is famous for bravery and strength.(老虎以勇敢和力量著称。)
③ changeability:例句:Snake is a symbol of changeability.(蛇是多变的象征。)
Culture Corner部分:
① set off:例句:All animals set off to the Heavenly Gate early in the morning.(所有动物一早出发前往南天门。)
② on one’s way to:例句:On his way to the gate, Rat met Ox.(在去南天门的路上,鼠遇到了牛。)
2. 重点句型解析:
Reading部分
① A is... while B is... → 例:Sheep is a symbol of peace while Horse is a symbol of marching forward. 羊是和平的象征,而马是勇往直前的象征。
Culture Corner部分
② On one’s way to..., sb did sth → 例:On my way to school, I saw a cat. 我在去学校的路上看到了一只猫。
③ sb had to do sth because... → 例:Rat had to stop because he couldn’t cross the river. 鼠不得不停下来,因为他过不了河。
④ There was no... → 例:There was no Chinese Zodiac long long ago. 很久很久以前没有中国生肖。
1. 记录短语与例句,跟读模仿发音,用“changeability”造句:“Snake is a symbol of changeability in my opinion.”
2. 分析句型结构,用“A is... while B is...”造句:“Monkey is workability while Rooster is firmness.”;用“on one’s way to...”句型造句:“On my way home, I ate a cake.”
短语结合“生肖文化场景”讲解,降低抽象词汇理解难度;句型拆解“对比从句”“叙事句型”结构,帮助学生掌握表达逻辑;造句练习强化语言应用,为“课堂练习”铺垫。
Step5: 课堂练习
(Class Exercises)
1. 短语填空练习(5题):
(1)Dog is a symbol of ________(忠诚).(trustiness)
(2)All animals ________(出发)towards the Heavenly Gate.(set off)

3. 巡视指导,对完成快的学生发放“Culture Star”贴纸,对错误较多的学生单独讲解(如“marching forward”的拼写)。
1. 完成短语填空,遇到困难举手提问,如“‘勇往直前’的英语怎么拼?”;
3. 优秀学生展示答案,全班齐读正确句子:
(1)“Dog is a symbol of trustiness.”
(2)“All animals set off towards the Heavenly Gate.”
“短语填空”强化核心词汇掌握;贴纸奖励激发学习积极性,巡视指导帮助基础薄弱学生,突破“短语应用”的知识重点。
