Unit 1 Animal Friends Section B (1a-1d)教学设计
【教材分析】
新人教版英语七年级下册 Unit 1 Animal Friends 单元主题属于“人与自然”主题范畴,涉及“热爱与敬畏自然,与自然和谐共生”。本课时是一节阅读课,围绕子主题“How are animals part of our lives?”展开。
What:本课时聚焦大象,以泰国女孩 Malee 的视角展开。涵盖大象在泰国文化中的
象征意义,如泰国的国宝、好运的象征和泰国大象节;介绍大象的外貌(体型庞大、耳朵大、鼻子长)、习性(喜欢在水中嬉戏)、能力(善于搬运重物、记忆力强)、善良和互助精神(照顾生病的大象和帮助幼象),还阐述了大象面临的生存威胁(森林砍伐、非法猎杀)以及保护措施,呼吁学生关注大象保护问题,增强保护意识。
Why:本课时不仅要求学生掌握描述大象特征的词汇和句型,更期望通过深入解读文
章内容,提升学生的阅读理解能力、信息提炼能力,以及批判性思维能力。同时,文章所蕴含的动物多元文化教育价值,也为培养学生的动物保护意识、国际视野提供了有力支撑。
How:本课时语篇类型为一篇帖子,通过设置多种阅读任务,如选择标题、细节阅读
完成问题等,引导学生逐步深入理解文本。从整体感知到细节挖掘,培养学生的阅读技巧和能力。同时,通过完成思维导图,帮助学生巩固所学词汇和句型,提升语言运用能力。
【学情分析】
七年级的学生对于动物相关话题的内容,兴趣颇丰。在本单元前两个课时中,学生已经学会了如何谈论自己对动物的喜好及原因,掌握了谈论动物的基础知识,能够进行简单的口语表达和书面描述。但他们在语言运用的准确性和流畅性上还有待提高,对于复杂的文章理解和信息提取存在一定困难。所以仍然需要学会运用预测、略读、扫读等阅读策略,提高阅读效率,提高从文章中获取关键信息并进行整合的能力。也需要通过细节阅读,进一步学习如何描述动物和表达情感,提升语言组织和表达能力。通过阅读不同文化背景下的动物故事,学生需要增强对多元文化的尊重和理解,培养跨文化交际能力。
【评价任务】
1.学生是否准确提取文本中关于大象的基本信息:外貌特征(如体型庞大、长鼻子、大耳朵等)、行为习性(如喜欢玩水、记忆力强等)、智慧表现(如能记住多年前的地点和同伴等)、在泰国文化中的地位(如国家象征、庆祝大象日等)、面临的生存威胁(如森林砍伐、象牙盗猎等)以及保护措施(减少砍伐、不要买卖象牙制品)。
2. 学生是否能够使用的可视化图形(如思维导图),直观、有效地呈现关于自己最喜
欢的动物特征及原因,以清晰、有条理的方式组织内容。
3. 学生写的关于大象的文段是否条理清晰、逻辑连贯,能否有效地传达保护动物和环
境的意识。

【学习活动】
Learning Procedures
Step 1: Lead-in
Look at the riddles and guess what animal it is. Then go into today’s topic-elephant and learn new word “trunk”.
设计意图:利用动物特征猜谜语,生动有趣,引人入胜。然后 AI 数字人口述谜语,导入今天的主题-大象,符合“数字化赋能教师专业发展”的指导方针。
Step 2: Pre-reading
1.Learn new words
Task1: Watch a video about elephants and answer two questions .
Q1: What do elephants eat?
Q2:Where are elephants from?
Learn some new words: Thailand, culture, luck.
Task2: T:What else do you know about elephants?
Look at some pictures and learn some new words.
Eg: carry, pick up, look after, one another, in danger, kill, save
设计意图:利用视频和图片引导学生主动提供有关大象的信息。利用情景学单词,让学生变被动为主动,事半功倍。
2.Look and predict
Look at the picture and predict:
Q1: What kind of text is it?
Q2: Who is the writer?
设计意图:看图预测文本类型和作者,让学生迅速进入文本内容。
Step 3: While-reading
1. Skimming
Read Malee’s post and choose the best title for it.
A. What is an Elephant?
B. My Favourite Animal: The Elephant
C. How to Save Elephants
2.Scanning
Read quickly and match the main idea with each paragraph.
3. Detailed reading
Game Time: Teacher divide the class into six groups. Let students discuss in groups and try to
answer first. Every time the student answers, his/her group will get one star.
Challenge 1: Students read para. 2 carefully and find out three reasons. ( 90″)
Challenge 2: Students read para. 3 carefully and finish the tasks.( 90″)
Challenge 3: Students read para. 4 carefully and fill in the blanks.( 2′)
Challenge 4: Students read para 5 carefully and answer two questions. ( 90″)
设计意图:
Skimming 环节引导学生找标题,目的是让他们掌握全文的主旨大意。Scanning 环节要求学生找出每段的大意,目的是让他们掌握大象的基本信息。Detailed Reading 环节设置了抢答游戏,变枯燥无味的传统阅读为充满乐趣的活动。本环节给每一段设置了倒计时和特定的阅读任务,让他们在有限的时间内保质保量地完成对应的任务,提高阅读技能。
Step 4: Post-reading
1. Look and think
Help the elephant look for its tooth. Then find its tooth is made into works of art.
T: They are beautiful. Will you buy them?
Ss: “No. Because When the buying stops, the killing can too.(没有买卖,就没有杀害)”
设计意图:通过帮大象找牙齿,让学生意识到:虽然象牙制品非常精美,但是它们是大象的生命换来的,所以会主动说“No”,从而联想到野生动物保护口号:没有买卖,就没有杀害。
2. Play a card game
Every student choose one card freely and say as many answers as possible.
设计意图:一节课过去了大半,学生一定非常疲劳,所以利用今年非常火的哪吒 2 中的人物设置卡片封面,激发他们翻卡片的欲望,从而复习描述大象的重点词汇和句型,为下一环节的写作做铺垫。
3.Give a speech
T: Suppose you are Li Hua. You are invited to give a speech about elephants.
First write a speech.Then give a speech in front of class.Finally other students give them correct
scores.
设计意图:英语演讲是一项听说写等多技能的综合活动。首先利用所学词汇和句型写出发言稿,然后让学生上台演讲,既锻炼了发言者的口语和大胆精神,也训练了观众的听力技能和评价能力,从而客观公正地评判发言者。
Step 5: Summary
Review some expressions about elephants and complete the mind map.
设计意图:利用思维导图回顾本节课的重点词汇和句型。
【作业设计】
Step 6: Homework
①Must do: Retell the passage by yourself.
②Need to do: Make a poster about saving animals and give a brief introduction to us.
③Choose to do: Search the Internet to find more information about protecting animals .
设计意图:分层作业,满足各个层次的学生。
【板书设计】
【课堂小结】
大部分学生表现出了浓厚的兴趣,能够积极参与,尤其是在猜谜语,小组竞赛,抽
卡片环节。此外,在课堂讨论中,学生们积极发言,与他人分享自己的观点和看法,促
进了课堂互动。通过学生的课堂完成情况看,学生阅读能力和表达能力有了明显提高,
逻辑思维和批判性思维得到了提升。但是在演讲环节中,我为学生提供了文稿框架,一
定程度上束缚了学生的创新能力。并且在课堂过程中,只让两位同学上台演讲,打击了
学生表演的积极性。在以后的教学中一定积极改进。
