教学设计理念
以英语学科核心素养为导向,立足 “人与自然” 主题语境,遵循 “学习理解 — 应用实践 — 迁移创新” 的英语学习活动观。以学生为主体,通过名言导入、视频感知、读前预测、读中梳理、读后思辨、语言夯实、分层作业等环节,融合语篇学习与跨学科(建筑)知识,引导学生从自然中汲取智慧,理解仿生建筑的环保价值,培养学生的语言运用能力、批判性思维与生态环保意识,实现语言学习与价值引领的统一。
教材分析

本节课作业二选一,为分层作业,难度有所区别。基础一般的同学可以选择作业一,基础较好的同学可以选择作业二。
1.假定你是李华,你校将举办“绿色建筑与可持续发展”主题征文活动。请你根据以下提示,写一篇短文投稿:
1)介绍一种你所了解的绿色建筑(可以参考文中建筑);
2)阐述其环保设计及意义;
3)谈谈你对未来绿色建筑发展的展望。
注意:1.词数100左右;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
2.Surf the internet and find more nature inspired buildings.
【答案】
Green buildings are of great importance to sustainable development. The Vertical Forest in Milan is a typical eco-friendly building I admire.
Its walls are covered with thousands of trees and plants. The greenery can absorb carbon dioxide, clean the air and reduce urban noise. Besides, it naturally adjusts the indoor temperature, cutting down the use of air conditioners and saving much energy. This design protects the environment and boosts urban biodiversity.
In my view, green buildings will be widely used in the future. They will lead us to a low-carbon life and make our cities more livable for generations to come.
●基础作业:巩固语篇知识,落实语言输出;
拓展作业:延伸学习视野,满足不同层次学生需求,实现分层教学。
