课 型
阅读课(Reading & Writing)
课 时
第4课时(45分钟)
核心素养目标
语言能力
能读懂课文并划出描述蜜蜂的形容词;能用课文信息补全思维导图;能回答 1d 问题并续写一段关于蜜蜂的话;能用英语举例说明人与动植物的联系。
学习能力
能借助思维导图梳理说明文的结构;能复用课文句式(Bees are…, and… / For example…)完成续写。
思维品质
能梳理"传粉—植物生长—人类生活"的因果链;能针对蜜蜂数量下降提出可行的保护建议。
文化意识
认识生态系统中万物互联的道理,形成保护蜜蜂、爱护自然的责任感。
教学重难点
教学难点:pollination、honeycomb、ecosystem 等术语的理解;续写段落中课文句式的迁移;因果链的条理表达。
教学重点:课文的理解与结构梳理(importance / interesting facts / problem);描述蜜蜂的形容词;人与动植物联系的举例表达。
语篇研读
【What】本课围绕说明文 We Can’t Live Without Bees 展开。1a 看标题与插图预测内容;1b 阅读并划出作者描述蜜蜂的形容词(hard-working, one of the most important animals, one of the most interesting animals, amazing);1c 用课文信息补全蜜蜂思维导图(importance—greatest work: pollination,visit 50 to 100 flowers on one trip,help plants grow,约 80% 的植物离不开它们;interesting facts—work hard together to make their homes,create honeycombs to store honey,用舞蹈告诉同伴食物的方位与距离;problem—the number of bees is dropping,scientists are worried);1d 讨论三个问题(另拟标题、蜜蜂的其他趣事、蚂蚁蝴蝶等昆虫与人的联系);1e 以作者身份为课文再写一段;1f 借助示例对话谈论动植物与人之间的联系。
【Why】文章以"超市里几乎没有水果蔬菜蜂蜜"的假设开场,直观呈现人与动植物的相互依存;蜜蜂作为 best example 把"传粉—生态—保护"的逻辑链条讲清,落实单元"探究动植物为何重要"的目标与生态保护育人价值。
【How】按"预测→默读划词→图梳→问题讨论→续写一段→结对分享"推进;阅读训练找读与依据文本作答;1e 用课文句式做支架的微写作;1f 引用课文语言联系生活举例。
学情分析
学生能读懂记叙文,说明文的段落主旨与逻辑链(现象—原因—意义—问题)需要引导;pollination、honeycomb、ecosystem 等术语是理解障碍;续写段落时易脱离课文句式自由发挥,需要支架。

学生活动
Step 1
情境导入
(5’)
①组织闭眼想象:Imagine you’re walking through a lush forest. What kinds of plants and animals can you picture?,请学生说出想到的动植物及形容词;
②创设问题情境:Imagine you go to the supermarket, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel?;
③引出课题:蜜蜂是人与动植物相互依存的 best example。
①闭眼想象,说出动植物与描述词;
②表达自己的感受(Disappointed. Angry. Sad.);
③初识课题,产生阅读期待。
Step 2
Work on 1a—1b
预测与初读
(9’)
①组织看标题与插图预测:What is the text about?;
②布置默读任务:Read the text and underline the adjectives the writer uses to describe bees.;
③出示课文全文供核对理解:We Can’t Live Without Bees——Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection. Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet. Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is. Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.;
④核对所划形容词(hard-working, the most important, one of the most interesting, amazing)。
①看图预测文章内容;
②默读课文,划出描述蜜蜂的形容词;
③核对全文与答案,理解 pollination 等术语。
Step 3
Work on 1c
图梳结构
(8’)
①出示思维导图框架(Bees:importance / interesting facts / problem),组织再读补全(参考答案:importance—their greatest work is pollination;visit 50 to 100 flowers on one trip;help plants grow(about 80 per cent of plants cannot grow without them);scientists believe bees are the most important animals;interesting facts—work hard together to make their homes;create honeycombs to store honey;use a dance to tell others where and how far away the food is;problem—the number of bees is dropping and scientists are worried);
②请学生依据导图用自己的话概括蜜蜂的重要性。
①再读课文补全思维导图;
②核对订正;
③用连贯的话概括蜜蜂的重要性。
Step 4
Work on 1d
