文本解读
What
本课时 是第四课时阅读 课,核心文本为 一篇人物传记" 钟扬:激励人心 的种子科学家" 。文章讲述了复 旦大学钟扬教授 扎根西藏16年, 收集珍稀植物种 子、培养当地科 研人才的感人事 迹。文本通过时 间线展开,呈现 了钟扬的奉献精 神与科学追求。
Why
本课旨 在帮助学生理解 什么是真正的奉 献精神。通过了 解钟扬教授的真 实故事,学生能 认识到个人的努 力如何推动社会 进步,激发为社 会贡献力量的责 任感与使命感。
How
教学引 导学生先通过标 题和图片预测文 本内容;再通过 快速阅读获取主 旨(1b);随后 通过精读回答深 层问题(1c), 梳理文章的时间 线与关键事件; 最后通过讨论活 动(1d-1e), 将阅读输入迁移 至对"激励"内 涵的深层思考。
学情分析
已有知识
经验
学生已具备基本的英语日常交际能力,在前三个课时中已系统学习了描述激励人物的词汇和目标句型。学生已掌握通过标题和图片预测文本内容的阅读策略,能够进行简单的人物传记阅读。
潜在学习
难点
传记类文本时间线较长(1964年出生→1984年大学毕业→2001年首赴西藏→2017年去世),学生可能难以在1c时间线表格中准确匹配年份与事件。文本包含较多学术词汇(biologist, biodiversity, greenhouse, collection, altitude等),长难句结构复杂,理解钟扬从"好奇少年"到"种子科学家"的成长脉络和深层奉献精神也有一定难度。
教学支持
建议
利用教材1a前的人物品质词汇(devoted, determined, passionate, selfless)激活已有词汇储备;通过教材中青藏高原和植物种子的图片激活背景知识。采用分层阅读策略:1b略读获取主旨→1c扫读完成时间线表格→1d深层问答分析因果关系。通过1e小组讨论引导学生从"读懂故事"上升到"理解精神"。
教学目标

2. Students will extract specific information (numbers, facts, timeline events) from the text about Zhong Yang.
3. Students will identify the text structure of a biography (early life → achievements → impact).

2. Students will appreciate the spirit of dedication, perseverance, and service to the nation's scientific development.
思维品质
1. Students will analyze the cause-effect relationships in Zhong Yang's life (curiosity → biology study → Tibet research → seed collection → training locals).
2. Students will evaluate what makes Zhong Yang truly inspiring and how individual sacrifice can benefit society.
学习能力
1. Students will employ reading strategies such as predicting, skimming for gist, and scanning for specific details.
2. Students will collaborate in groups to discuss and present what makes Zhong Yang inspiring.
教学重难点
教学重点
Students will be able to read and understand the biography "The Inspiring Seed Scientist" about Zhong Yang, extract key events through 1b-1c (timeline: 1964→2017), and use target vocabulary (devoted, determined, passionate, selfless) to describe his qualities in 1d-1e.
教学难点
Students will correctly use both grammar patterns ("It is/was...of sb to do..." for character evaluation and "It is/was...that..." for emphasis) to analyze Zhong Yang's qualities and achievements in 1d-1e oral production, and will understand the deeper meaning of dedication beyond simple sentence structures—connecting his personal sacrifice to societal benefit.
