素养维度
目标描述
语言能力
认读并掌握 moss, redwood, cheetah 等动植物词汇(课本 p.32)及其最高级形式(the largest / heaviest / fastest / most beautiful / oldest / tallest);能听懂 Emma 与 Yaming 的“动植物之最”测试对话并完成排序、配对与表格;能用“What's amazing about…? —It's the…-est / the most…”问答;掌握 /eɪ/, /aɪ/, /ɔɪ/ 与辅音连缀 /bl/, /kl/, /gl/, /br/, /kr/, /gr/ 的发音,并体会句子重音改变语义的现象。
学习能力
听前依据 1a 图片与选项预测听力顺序;借助“最高级+名词”的搭配规律自主完成 1c 配对(Some have two answers);通过同一句话三次重音朗读,自主归纳“重音位置不同、语义侧重不同”的规律。
思维品质
在“动植物之最”测试情境中将特征(最大、最重、最快、最美、最老、最高)与对应物种建立精确匹配;拓展思考 Which animal has the longest lifespan? 等新测试题,发展信息检索与归类能力。
文化意识
通过 Nature's amazing, let's keep it amazing! 的呼吁,认识到地球上神奇生命的珍贵,萌发热爱自然、保护动植物的态度。
教学重难点
教学重点:①1a 四种神奇动植物的特征描述与 1b-1c 听力任务(课本 p.32);②形容词最高级“the+adj.-est / the most+adj.”与“one of the+最高级+名词复数”句型的初步运用;③双元音 /eɪ/, /aɪ/, /ɔɪ/、辅音连缀及句子重音(课本 p.33)。
教学难点:①听中快速捕捉最高级信息并完成“一物多配”;②重音改变语义的听辨与模仿(redwood / California / several 三种重读);③多音节形容词最高级的准确朗读(the most beautiful)。
