Unit 4 Literature for Identity-Section 1 Reading for Meaning 教案-2025-2026学年高中英语冀教版必修第三册

Unit 4 Literature for Identity-Section 1 Reading for Meaning 教学目标和重难点 教学目标 Language Ability: Enable students to master core vocabulary and complex sentence structures related to literature and identity, improve reading comprehension skills such as skimming, scanning and inferring, and express their views on literary works and identity in simple English. Cultural Awareness: Guide students to understand the connection between literary works and cultural background, respect cultural diversity, and establish a correct sense of cultural identity and national self-confidence. Thinking Quality: Cultivate students’ logical thinking, critical thinking and divergent thinking through analyzing the theme, characters and plots of literary works, and guide them to explore the connotation of identity independently. Learning Ability: Help students master effective reading strategies, develop the habit of independent reading and cooperative learning, and improve their ability to solve problems in the process of reading and thinking. 教学重难点 Key Points: Master the core vocabulary (such as identity, literature, reflect, explore, heritage) and key sentence structures (attributive clauses, adverbial clauses of reason) in the reading text; understand the main idea, core plot and character characteristics of the text; grasp the basic reading strategies for literary works. Difficult Points: Understand the deep connotation of the text, explore the relationship between literary works and personal, national or cultural identity; use critical thinking to analyze the author’s writing purpose and emotional tendency; apply the learned vocabulary and sentence structures to express views on identity. 教学过程 Lead-in: Arouse Interest and Lay a Foundation Activity 1: Free Talk and Theme Introduction. The teacher starts the class with a question: “What does ‘identity’ mean to you? Do you think literature can help us understand our own identity better?” Then, invite 3-4 students to share their views freely. Some students may say that identity is about where they come from, while others may think it is about their values and beliefs. After the sharing, the teacher summarizes: “Identity is a complex concept, including personal, cultural, national and other dimensions. And literature, as a precious cultural heritage, often reflects people’s pursuit and exploration of identity. Today, we will read a literary text and explore how it shows the theme of ‘Literature for Identity’.” Design Intent: The free talk with the theme of “identity” is designed to closely connect the teaching content with students’ life experience, reduce their psychological distance from the abstract theme of “identity”, and arouse their interest in the lesson. By asking open-ended questions, students are guided to think actively, lay a cognitive foundation for the subsequent reading of the text, and also implicitly infiltrate the core literacy of thinking quality and language ability. Activity 2: Vocabulary Preview. The teacher presents the core vocabulary of the text (identity, literature, reflect, explore, heritage, conflict, belong, inspire) on the screen, and guides students to learn and master them through the following ways: first, pronounce the words correctly with the teacher, pay attention to the stress and intonation; second, explain the meaning of the words with simple English and combined with examples related to the theme, such as “Literature reflects people’s thoughts and feelings, and helps us explore our own identity”; third, ask students to make simple sentences with the words in pairs, and invite several pairs to present their sentences in class. For example, “We should explore our cultural heritage to strengthen our national identity.” Design Intent: Previewing core vocabulary before reading is to solve the language barrier for students to understand the text, ensure that students can focus on the content and theme of the text during reading, and improve reading efficiency. The way of combining pronunciation, explanation and sentence making helps students master vocabulary in context, which is in line with the requirements of language ability training. At the same time, pair work can cultivate students’ cooperative learning ability and lay a foundation for subsequent group activities. While-Reading: Layered Reading and Deep Understanding Activity 1: Skimming for the Main Idea. The teacher asks students to read the text quickly, and after reading, answer two questions: 1. What is the main topic of the text? 2. What is the author’s attitude towards the role of literature in shaping identity? After students finish reading, invite them to answer the questions independently. The teacher corrects and summarizes: “The main topic of the text is the relationship between literature and identity. The author believes that literature plays an important role in helping people understand and shape their own identity.” Then, the teacher guides students to divide the text into several parts according to the main idea, and clarify the logical structure of the text: Part 1 (Paragraph 1): Put forward the topic - literature is closely related to identity; Part 2 (Paragraphs 2-4): Explain how literature helps people explore personal identity, cultural identity and national identity respectively; Part 3 (Paragraph 5): Summarize the significance of literature for identity. Design Intent: Skimming is a basic reading strategy. By guiding students to read quickly and grasp the main idea and logical structure of the text, we can cultivate students’ ability of information induction and logical thinking, which is the key to improving their reading ability. Dividing the text into parts helps students understand the context and logical connection of the text, laying a foundation for in-depth reading, and also infiltrates the training of thinking quality. Activity 2: Scanning for Key Information. The teacher asks students to read the text again carefully, and complete the following table in groups of 4. The table includes three columns: Dimension of Identity, How Literature Helps Explore Identity, and Examples in the Text. During the group activity, the teacher walks around the classroom, observes students’ discussion, and provides guidance for students who have difficulties. After the group discussion, each group sends a representative to present the completed table, and the teacher comments and supplements, ensuring that students can find key information such as the specific ways literature helps explore different dimensions of identity and relevant examples in the text. Design Intent: Scanning is a targeted reading strategy. By completing the table, students can accurately find key information in the text, deepen their understanding of the content of the text, and improve their ability to extract and sort out information. Group cooperation can not only promote the exchange and communication between students, but also help students learn from each other, improve their cooperative learning ability and communication ability. The teacher’s guidance ensures that the group activity can be carried out smoothly and achieves the expected effect. Activity 3: Intensive Reading for Deep Connotation. The teacher focuses on analyzing key paragraphs and sentences in the text, guiding students to explore the deep connotation of the text and the author’s emotional tendency. First, take Paragraph 3 (about cultural identity) as an example. The teacher asks students to read the paragraph carefully, and then raises questions: 1. What does the author mean by “cultural identity”? 2. How does literature help people establish cultural identity? 3. What feelings does the author express in this paragraph? Guide students to discuss and analyze these questions in groups. Then, the teacher explains the key sentence in the paragraph: “Literature carries the cultural heritage of a nation, and reading literary works allows us to inherit and carry forward our own culture, thus establishing a strong cultural identity.” The teacher guides students to understand the meaning of the sentence, and analyzes the usage of the attributive clause in the sentence. Then, the teacher asks students to find other key sentences in the text by themselves, analyze their meaning and sentence structure, and share their understanding in class. Design Intent: Intensive reading is the key link to understand the deep connotation of the text. By analyzing key paragraphs and sentences, students can not only master the language knowledge such as key sentence structures, but also deeply understand the author’s writing purpose and emotional tendency, and explore the connection between literature and identity. The way of combining group discussion and teacher’s explanation can give full play to students’ main role, cultivate their critical thinking and analytical ability, and also help students solve difficulties in understanding, ensuring that the teaching of key and difficult points is in place. Post-Reading: Consolidation and Application, Promotion of Literacy Activity 1: Vocabulary and Sentence Structure Consolidation. The teacher designs two exercises to help students consolidate the learned vocabulary and sentence structures. Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with the core vocabulary learned. The sentences are closely related to the theme of the text, such as “Literature can ______ people’s thoughts and feelings about identity.” (reflect) “We should ______ our cultural heritage to strengthen our national identity.” (explore) Exercise 2: Rewrite the sentences with the given sentence structures (attributive clauses, adverbial clauses of reason). For example, “Literature helps us understand our identity. It is a precious cultural heritage.” → “Literature, which is a precious cultural heritage, helps us understand our identity.” After students finish the exercises, the teacher checks the answers, explains the common mistakes, and guides students to master the correct usage of vocabulary and sentence structures. Design Intent: Consolidating vocabulary and sentence structures after reading is to help students internalize the language knowledge learned, improve their ability to use language flexibly, and lay a foundation for subsequent language output. The exercises closely related to the theme of the text can not only consolidate language knowledge, but also deepen students’ understanding of the text theme, realizing the organic combination of language learning and theme exploration. Activity 2: Group Discussion and Expression. The teacher puts forward the discussion topic: “Combined with the text and your own experience, talk about how a literary work (a novel, a poem, a story, etc.) that you have read helps you understand your own identity or cultural identity.” Divide students into groups of 5, and each group chooses a representative to record the discussion results. During the discussion, the teacher guides students to express their views clearly, use the learned vocabulary and sentence structures, and encourage students to put forward different opinions. After the discussion, each group sends a representative to make a 2-3 minute report in class. The teacher comments on the students’ reports, affirms their advantages, and puts forward suggestions for improvement, such as how to use language more accurately and how to organize ideas more clearly. Design Intent: Group discussion and report is a kind of language output activity, which can test students’ mastery of language knowledge and their ability to express views. The discussion topic closely combines the text content with students’ life experience, which not only helps students deepen their understanding of the theme of “literature and identity”, but also cultivates their critical thinking, language expression ability and cooperative learning ability. The teacher’s comments can help students find their own shortcomings and improve their language expression ability and thinking level. Activity 3: Theme Exploration and Value Guidance. The teacher guides students to further explore the theme of the text: “What is the significance of literature for our teenagers? How can we use literature to shape our own identity and inherit our cultural heritage?” Invite students to share their views freely. Some students may say that we should read more classic literary works to understand our culture; others may say that we should express our own thoughts and feelings through writing to shape our personal identity. After the sharing, the teacher summarizes: “Literature is a bridge between us and the world, between us and our own hearts. It helps us understand ourselves, understand our culture, and shape a positive and healthy identity. As teenagers, we should read more excellent literary works, inherit and carry forward our cultural heritage, and establish a correct sense of identity and national self-confidence.” Design Intent: The theme exploration and value guidance is to elevate the teaching content from the understanding of the text to the shaping of students’ values, which is an important part of cultivating students’ cultural awareness and ideological and moral quality. By guiding students to think about the significance of literature for teenagers, we can help students establish a correct view of literature and identity, enhance their cultural confidence, and realize the educational value of English teaching. Summary and Extension: Integrate Knowledge and Expand Vision Activity 1: Class Summary. The teacher invites students to summarize the key points of this lesson independently, including the core vocabulary, key sentence structures, the main idea and theme of the text, and the reading strategies learned. Then, the teacher makes a comprehensive summary, combs the knowledge system of this lesson, and emphasizes the key and difficult points, helping students form a complete knowledge framework. At the same time, the teacher reviews the four-dimensional core literacy trained in this lesson, and guides students to reflect on their own learning gains and shortcomings. Design Intent: Letting students summarize the lesson independently can cultivate their ability of induction and summary, and help them sort out the knowledge learned in class, so as to achieve the purpose of integrating knowledge. The teacher’s comprehensive summary can help students make up for their omissions, form a complete knowledge framework, and strengthen their memory and understanding of the knowledge. Activity 2: Homework Extension. The teacher assigns two types of homework: 1. Basic Homework: Read the text again, recite the core vocabulary and key sentences, and write a 100-word summary of the text. 2. Extended Homework: Choose a literary work that you like, write a 200-word short essay, introducing how this work helps you understand your own identity or cultural identity, and use the vocabulary and sentence structures learned in this lesson as much as possible. The teacher reminds students to pay attention to the logic and language accuracy of the essay, and encourages students to express their true feelings. Design Intent: The basic homework is to consolidate the knowledge learned in class, ensure that students master the core content of the lesson. The extended homework is to extend the teaching content to after class, guide students to apply the knowledge learned in class to practice, improve their language expression ability and literary appreciation ability. At the same time, the extended homework can also stimulate students’ interest in reading literary works, help them further explore the theme of identity, and promote the all-round development of their core literacy. Activity 3: Extra-Curricular Recommendation. The teacher recommends some classic literary works related to the theme of identity, such as “Pride and Prejudice” and “The Old Man and the Sea”, and suggests that students read them after class. At the same time, the teacher recommends an English website about literary appreciation, so that students can expand their reading vision and improve their literary literacy. The teacher encourages students to form a good habit of reading, and share their reading experience in the next class. Design Intent: The extra-curricular recommendation is to expand students’ reading vision, enrich their literary knowledge, and help them further understand the relationship between literature and identity. By recommending English literary works and websites, students’ English reading ability and literary appreciation ability can be improved, and the cultivation of their learning ability and cultural awareness can be promoted, laying a foundation for their lifelong learning. Teaching Reflection (Embedded in the Teaching Process) In the whole teaching process, the teacher should always pay attention to students’ learning status and feedback, adjust the teaching progress and methods in time according to the actual situation of the class. For example, if students have difficulty in understanding the deep connotation of the text, the teacher can appropriately increase the guidance of key sentences and reduce the difficulty of discussion topics; if students master the vocabulary and sentence structures well, the teacher can appropriately increase the difficulty of language output activities. At the same time, the teacher should pay attention to the individual differences of students, care about the learning needs of each student, and ensure that every student can gain something in the class. After the class, the teacher should reflect on the teaching process, summarize the advantages and disadvantages, and put forward improvement measures, so as to continuously improve the teaching effect and promote the all-round development of students’ core literacy. 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
