【教材分析】
本节课取自鲁教版(2024)六年级上册 Unit6 Touring the world. Reading Plus 部分.本单元内容聚焦课标“人与社会”中的中外名胜古迹相关知识和游览体验主题。
What:Reading Plus 部分的两篇语篇,以说明文的文体介绍了四条河流,回应本单元核心问题“What is a tourist spot like?”。第一篇 The World’s longest rivers, 介绍了黄河,尼罗河和亚马逊河三条世界上最长的自然河,主要介绍河流基本信息(长度,注入水域及文化);第二篇 The Grand Canal—A Marvel of China,主要介绍了中国的大运河的自然地理特征,重要性及文化底蕴。
Why:通过阅读与河流有关的语篇,与地理、历史学科相结合,引导学生了解世界长河及大运河的基本信息,感知不同文化背景下河流的独特魅力及文化底蕴。同时学会用简单的句式(如 how long/run to 等)描述河流。
How: 本节课从自然河过渡到人工河,从自然美过渡到大运河所呈现的人文美。通过对比不同河流,思考河流与人类、生态的关系,增强自然与文化的认知,同时增强民族文化认同感。
【学情分析】
前在状态
六年级学生有了一定的知识储备,关于景观的名词也有涉猎。有了前几课时的学习,学生能够对景点进行简单描述,能够进行对话练习和小组合作练习。同时很多同学都跟随父母出去旅游过,对于很多景点有了用自己的看法。
潜在状态
本节课涉及的河流地理知识,初一年级还没有学过,加之生词较多,所以学生理解起来较为困难;本节课涉及到的黄河,学生都很熟悉,但是另外三条河尼罗河、亚马逊河和大运河则知道的较少,缺少知识储备。
发展可能
通过情境创设,图片、视频等多模态资料的辅助,加之有效的引领,引导学生理解并学会简单描述河流自然特征及文化底蕴,同时感知不同文化背景下河流的独特魅力,增强民族文化认同感。
【教学目标】
1.通过观察图片进行信息匹配,通过观察不同的河流流向图,读取河流信息等读图活动,引导学生在阅读中学会关注图片信息,提高学生的读图识图能力;通过快速阅读活动,引导学生学会利用核心词汇及排除法获取信息的阅读策略。(学习理解)
2.通过教师领读黄河,梳理河流介绍要点,引出 travel with views and travel with culture 的学习主线;通过阅读圈小组合作共读尼罗河、亚马逊河,及 自主阅读大运河等阅读形式,学生学会根据河流介绍要点(如 how long, run to 等),用英语简单介绍河流的自然特征和人文历史特征,探究景点背后的文化故事与历史渊源,感知不同文化背景下河流的独特魅力。(学习理解,应用实践)
3.通过阅读文本、观看视频、图片信息对比,河流地图等多模态阅读,与地理、历史学科相结合,引导学生了解黄河、尼罗河、亚马逊河及大运河的的自然特征及人文历史特征;通过小组合作,制作河流文创产品,学生能够对河流景观及文化有更深层次的认知,并能主动推介,进行跨文化交流,培养对多元文化的尊重与包容态度,同时增强本土文化自信。 (迁移创新)
4.通过交流讨论,引导学生文明旅行 travel with manners,同时呼吁学生节约用水,保护河流等自然资源,树立文化遗产和自然景观保护意识,认识到个人行为对文化传承与环境保护的责任。(迁移创新)
【教学重难点】
教学重点:了解河流的自然特征和人文历史特征,学会用河流介绍要素(长度,注入水域,重要性,文化等)描述河流,进行跨文化交际。
教学难点:河流隐藏文化的感知,及与河流有关的地理知识。
【教学过程】
Step1. Warm-up and lead -in
1. Let’s Chant
T: In this unit, we have learned about many tourist sports. Let’s chant about them
【设计意图】通过朗朗上口,极具韵律感的 chant,一方面活跃课堂氛围,调动学生课堂积极性,为本节课做好准备;另一方面,通过 chant 的内容,复习本单元学过的景点及对景点的描述,激活学生知识储备。
2. Situation Creation
T: In the last classes, we have finished the first two parts of the Teenager’s Tour Picture Guidebook for the National Geographic magazine. This class the National Geographic magazine also wants some travel bloggers to help promote the tourist spots and finished the next part of the book.
【设计意图】承接本单元《国家地理杂志》青少年旅行图画手册的大情境,同时引入本节课小情境,国家地理杂志需要旅行博主帮忙推介旅行景点,同时在完成前两部分“观光游”“深度游”的基础上,本节课完成青少年旅行图画手册“体验游”的部分。
3. Travel blogger
T: First, let’s go to New Zealand. Who wants to be the travel blogger there?
S: 根据新西兰的图片,以旅游博主的身份介绍新西兰。
T:We can’t wait to go there. Thank you for your sharing, travel blogger. Now, let’s go back to China to this province. Look, Which province is it? Who wants to be the travel blogger in Tai’an Shandong province?
S: 根据泰山的图片,以旅游博主的身份介绍泰山。
【设计意图】一是引入旅行博主的情境,二是以旅游博主的口吻,通过图
片和文字提示,推介听说课和阅读课学过的旅游景点,进行重点回顾。从
Chant 对旅游景点的简单回顾到旅行博主的深入推介,层层递进,将本单元
的课本中出现的景点进行一一回顾,同时有着重点的回顾新西兰和泰山,
激活知识储备。
4. Share on the Internet (过渡)
T: Look, we have learned about so many tourist spots, but how can we share them?
S: 微信,QQ,微博,抖音...(预设)
T: To make more people all around the world to know about them, maybe the two apps can help us. Look, what are they?
S: TikTok , rednote
T: The two Chinese apps are very popular all around the world. As a Chinese, I'm so proud of them. Do you often use them?
【设计意图】两款中国的 apps,小红书和抖音,在世界范围内都很受欢迎,成为各个国家的人的交流平台, 旅行博主通过这两款 apps 向全世界进行景点推介,一是提高学生的文化认同感,二是引出下面 TengFei’s travel log.
Step2. Fast Reading
Read and Match (Meet the rivers)
T: Look, this is Teng Fei's travel log. He shared a picture of a river, and the net friends applied to him with another two rivers. But unfortunately, the words are gone. So, could you please help to find the names? Please read the sentences and the pictures carefully and match.
【师生活动】找一名同学到黑板进行匹配,剩余学生在导学案上完成,订正答案,教师追问:Why did you match like this? 并呈现阅读策略。
Reading skills: Exclusive method (排除法)It can help us find the right answer
【设计意图】通过 Teng Fei 在抖音上分享的河流照片及网友回复的另外两
条河流,引出要学习的三条世界长河,通过河流与名字匹配,引导学生通
过读图获取有效信息,并匹配河流介绍中的关键词。同时,引导学生学会
利用排除法完成阅读任务。
2.Know the rivers
【师生活动】就课件中呈现的河流名字及已有信息进行讲解,领读新单词, 感知最高级,扫除阅读障碍。
T: Now, let’s have a look at the three rivers. First, Nile River. It’s the longest river in the world. Do you know “long”. Longest means in terms of the length, it is the No.1 in the world. So, what’s the meaning of longest?

T: Where is the the Mediterranean Sea? Look at the map, which continent is it?
Ss: 非洲/Africa
T: This is the Mediterranean Sea, so the Nile River runs through most of the Africa to the Mediterranean Sea. And Can you guess how many countries does it run through?

T:The Amazon River runs from west to the east. The Nile River runs from the south to the north.
Ss: 亚马逊河支流多
T:Yes, there are many tributaries there. And with the hot weather and lots of rain, it’s good for the tropical trees. So, the Amazon River supports the world’s largest rainforest. “support”means “nurture”here. Do you know “large” “largest”?

Step5. Pair work
(过渡语) After sharing the three rivers with us, the travel blogger wants to know which river do you want travel to? Now, let's have a pair work with your partner.
【设计意图】
1.培养合作思维:通过同坐对话交流,促进学生相互分享观点,激发思维碰 撞,增强团队协作与批判性思维能力。
2.巩固知识内化:对话过程中调用知识并重新表达,帮助学生巩固对河流特征和文化的理解,实现知识迁移。
Let’s Discuss
T: Besides the three rivers, Do you know any other rivers? What do you know about them?
【设计意图】
1.促进知识迁移与整合:引导学生突破已学三条河流的知识局限,自主回忆或联想其他河流,鼓励学生从地理特征、文化意义等方面分享所知,拓宽地理知识储备,丰富对世界河流的认知,深化对不同河流共性与差异的理解,实现知识的迁移和整合。
2. 培养发散思维,激发自主学习意识:通过开放式提问,打破固定思维模式,促使学生从多角度思考问题,将学习主动权交还给学生,让学生成为知识分享的主体,锻炼信息整合与表达能力,提升思维的灵活性和创新性。
Step6. Carefully Reading---Explore the rivers(Travel with views &culture)

Ss: From the bridge and the houses.(预设)
T:You got it. We can tell for the style of the bridge and the houses. It’s Chinese style. The National Geographic magazine also wants the travel blogger to help to promote it. The name is Grand Canal.
【设计意图】1.通过展示大运河图片引导学生猜测所属国家,以 “桥梁与房屋的中国风格” 为切入点,激活学生对中国传统建筑的认知,建立文本与生活经验的联系。2.以 “国家地理杂志邀请推广” 的情境创设任务,激发学生对大运河的探究欲望,为后续阅读奠定动机基础。
Read and Fill
T:Now, let’s read about it and fill in the card by yourself
【设计意图】 “Read and Fill”任务中的卡片内容承接上文中的黄河、尼罗河和亚马逊河的形式,所以从黄河的教师领读,到尼罗河和亚马逊河的小组合作共读,再到大运河的自主阅读,逐渐放手,层层递进,由学生自己进行细节理解与获取,引导学生从文本中提取大运河的名称、特征、重要性等基础信息,训练信息定位与提取能力。
