Unit 4 Natural Disasters Reading and Thinking 课件-2026-2027学年高中英语人教版必修第一册

该高中英语课件围绕“The Night The Earth Didn’t Sleep”展开阅读教学，核心知识点为新闻报道与文学写作手法的融合。课堂导入通过Pre-reading问题（夜晚常听到的声音）激活背景知识，再结合文本类型选择题（文学新闻）和结构划分（Before/During/After）搭建学习支架，帮助学生梳理地震事件脉络。 其亮点在于通过多维度分析（地震参数表格、重复/夸张/明喻等修辞关键词、拟人化希望主体）和跨灾难对比（菲律宾台风、河南洪水等数据），培养学生语言能力（文本分析与修辞运用）、思维品质（对比推断与结构梳理）和文化意识（家国情怀与团结精神）。采用任务驱动式问题链（如“最印象深刻的场景”）和可视化资料，学生提升综合语言运用与批判性思维，教师可高效开展读写结合教学。
