摘要:
该高中英语课件围绕“Nature in the balance”主题,聚焦亚马逊雨林生态平衡及人类活动影响,通过提问“Are these problems new?”、引用恩格斯名言建立历史与现实联系,以镜头术语(定格、广角全景等)、生态分层、食物链分析为支架,引导学生从观察到分析再到创作纪录片脚本。
其亮点在于采用任务驱动的沉浸式学习,如“ROLE SHIFT”让学生扮演导演排列镜头、设计结尾脚本,提升语言能力;通过数据解读(如“17%雨林消失”)和生态案例分析,培养思维品质中的推断与评价能力;强调“人类命运共同体”,联系亚马逊与西双版纳生态保护,增强文化意识。学生能提升综合语言运用和批判性思维,教师可借助结构化活动设计提高教学效率。
