(一)导入 · 认识富兰克林
【过渡语】上节课谚语讲「学会学习」——今天读一个人的故事,他把它活成了一生。
Free talk:Do you know this famous man?——Benjamin Franklin(本杰明·富兰克林)。What do you know about Benjamin Franklin?——He is an inventor, a scientist, a writer, a diplomat(外交官), and a statesman(政治家)。
追问:What do you think makes Benjamin Franklin such an outstanding man? Is learning important?(是什么让他如此杰出?学习重要吗?)——带着问题进课文。
【提示框】
记住他的五个头衔 inventor/scientist/writer/diplomat/statesman——课文第一段会给出官方版本,读时对照。
(二)读前预测 · 标题三问
Read the title of the article and guess. What may the article talk about?——Benjamin Franklin: a lifelong learner(终身学习者),围绕 Who?(他是谁)What?(做了什么)How?(怎么学)Why?(为何杰出)四问预测。
读前两问热身:1 What kind of things do you enjoy learning?——示例:I enjoy learning science because it helps me understand how the world works.(我喜欢学科学,因为它帮我理解世界如何运转)2 What do you know about Benjamin Franklin?——示例:He was a very important figure in American history. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.(美国开国元勋之一)He was a great inventor.
【知识点】
▶lifelong learner 是全文题眼:lifelong(终身的)+learner(学习者)——标题里的 a 就是预测锚点,文章必然讲他「一辈子都在学」的故事。
标题预测四问页
(三)体裁判断 · 传记文体
What is the genre of this passage? A. exposition(说明文)B. biography(传记)C. argumentation(议论文)D. description(描述文)——答案:B biography(传记)。
传记三特征:写真实人物、按生平展开、评价其贡献——本文「总—分—总」:P1 引入人物,P2-4 分述生平,P5 总结贡献。
(四)略读 · 五段大意五空
Complete the main idea of each paragraph with the information in the article:Paragraph 1——An (1) introduction to Benjamin Franklin(对富兰克林的介绍);Paragraph 2——Franklin's early life and his love of (2) learning(早年生活与对学习的热爱);Paragraph 3——Franklin's interest in studying (3) storms and his findings(研究风暴的兴趣与发现);Paragraph 4——Franklin's great love for (4) science and his inventions(对科学的热爱与发明);Paragraph 5——Franklin's (5) greatest gift to the world(给世界的最伟大馈赠)。
结构图:Introduction(P1)→Main body(P2-4:learning/storms/science)→Conclusion(P5)——「总—分—总」。
【知识点】
▶五空五段各抓一个关键词:introduction(引入)、learning(自学)、storms(风暴研究)、science(科学发明)、greatest gift(贡献)——略读只看每段首末句,一分钟锁定五词。
【提示框】
第 3、4 空别填反:storms 在第 3 段(研究风暴发现规律)、science 在第 4 段(热爱科学做发明)——按段落数序对号入座。
五段大意与结构图页
(五)寻读 · 细节六问
【过渡语】骨架有了,往里填肉——六问把富兰克林的一生问个明白。
①What do most people know Benjamin Franklin for?——Most people know him as a writer, scientist, inventor and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.(作家、科学家、发明家、美国开国元勋之一)
②How did Franklin go on learning after he left school?——He taught himself by reading a lot of books he borrowed from booksellers.(离开学校后向书商借书大量阅读自学)③Why did Franklin often stay up very late when he was young?——In order to return books early the next day.(为了第二天一早归还借的书)④What did Franklin discover when he studied the storms?——He found out that storms moved from one place to another.(发现风暴会从一个地方移动到另一个地方)
⑤What qualities do you think Franklin had?——Hard-working, creative, great, brave, kind, successful... ⑥Franklin let people use his inventions for free. What do you think of this?——He has made a great contribution to human beings.(免费开放发明,为人类做出巨大贡献)
【知识点】
▶六问三组:身份组(①头衔四连)、学习组(②自学方式③熬夜原因)、成就组(④风暴发现⑤品质⑥免费开放)——寻读先划问题关键词(for/left school/stayed up/storms/qualities/for free),再回文定位。
【提示框】
第 3 问易答偏:熬夜不是为了读书到深夜,而是 in order to return books early(赶在第二天一早还书)——书商借书有期限,自律从守时还书开始。
细节六问答案页
(六)分段细读 · P1 头衔与 P2-4 判断
Read Paragraph 1 and answer: What titles does he have?——He is a writer, scientist, inventor and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.(美国开国元勋——Founding Father 首字母大写是专有名词)。
Read Paragraphs 2-4, judge T or F and correct the false:①Franklin had only three years of education.→F(only two years,只受过两年教育)②Franklin had a great love for printing.→F(for science,热爱的是科学不是印刷)③He often borrowed books from booksellers and stayed up very late.→T(常向书商借书、熬夜到很晚)④He followed the wind and did many tests.→F(studied the storms,研究的是风暴不是追风)
【知识点】
▶判断题先定位后比对:数字陷阱(three→two)、名词偷换(printing→science;wind→storms)——F 题改错就是把被偷换的词换回来,四句正好三个数字/名词坑。
【提示框】
第 ② 句别被 printing 带跑:Franklin 早年做过印刷工学徒,但课文说他 great love for 的是 science——「做过」和「热爱」是两回事。
(七)P5 结尾 · 终身学习的定义
Read Paragraph 5 and answer:1 What does he think learning is?——As a lifelong learner, he saw learning as an exciting and endless journey, full of wonder and success.(他视学习为一段充满奇迹与成功的激动人心的无尽旅程——see...as... 把学习看作……)2 Did he make money from any of his inventions?——No, he didn't.(他的发明没有一项用来赚钱)
品质讨论:what qualities does he have?——curious(好奇心强)、selfless(无私)、hard-working(勤奋)、smart(聪明)、brave(勇敢)……
(八)B1 语篇 · Steve 语言 App 八空
【过渡语】富兰克林靠书本自学,现代少年 Steve 靠什么?读博客,把词框里的词放进八空。
Daniel is reading a blog post about the story of a successful teenager. Complete the blog post with the correct forms of the words and phrases in the box(countless/invent/curious/come as no surprise/for free/success/talent/teach oneself):
Steve, a middle school student, is well known for (1) inventing an amazing language learning app. His idea for developing the app came from a trip to Italy with his parents. Steve and his parents cannot speak a word of Italian, and they are not good at English, so it (2) came as no surprise that they ran into (3) countless problems during their trip. They could not express themselves clearly and almost missed their plane home. After he got home, Steve was (4) curious about finding a way to make daily conversation in another language easier. Steve has a (5) talent for working with computers. He developed an app half a year later. It can translate your mother language into over 20 languages and help you (6) teach yourself languages. What's more, anyone can use the app (7) for free. Steve's story sets a good example for us all. Find your interest and work hard, and you will have the chance to reach great (8) success.
【知识点】
▶八空先判词性:for 后接动名词→inventing;it 后接过去式短语→came as no surprise(毫不奇怪);ran into 后接名词→countless problems(无数问题);be curious about→curious;a talent for→talent;help you+原形→teach yourself;use the app→for free(免费);reach great→success(名词)。
【提示框】
第 2 空 came as no surprise 是过去式——「他们不会意大利语又不擅长英语→旅途中遇到无数问题毫不奇怪」,因果里藏着时态线索(ran into 也是过去式)。
Steve 语言 App 博客八空页
(九)读后反思 · 三问迁移
1 What influence do you think Benjamin Franklin's childhood had on his life?——Franklin had only two years of education in his childhood. But his love of learning was already strong. This early interest led him to teach himself a lot later.(童年只有两年教育,但学习热情已强,早期兴趣引领他日后大量自学)
2 How did Franklin teach himself new things? What do you think of his way of learning?——He taught himself by reading a lot of books he borrowed. He also learned by doing his own experiments, like when he studied storms. His way of learning is really inspiring. It shows his self-motivation and determination.(读书自学+亲自动手实验;自学方式体现自我激励与决心)3 What can you learn from Franklin's story?——We should always have a thirst for knowledge. We should be curious about the world and not be afraid to explore and learn on our own. Also, we should use our knowledge to help others, just like Franklin did by letting people use his inventions for free.(求知若渴、勇于探索、用知识助人)
【知识点】
▶三问递进:童年影响(兴趣起点)→自学方式(读书+实验)→精神收获(thirst for knowledge 求知欲+用知识助人)——从「他做了什么」读到「我该学什么」,传记阅读的终点是自我迁移。
(十)词汇精讲 · 三词三搭配
【过渡语】读后把三个核心词的搭配钉牢。
①success n. 成功;成功的人(或事物)——achieve/gain success 获得成功;the key to success 成功的关键;a great/big success 巨大的成功;success in (doing) sth. 在某方面成功。例:Steve's app was a great success among teenagers. Steve 的应用程序在青少年中取得了巨大成功。
②conversation n. 交谈,谈话;会话——have a conversation with sb. 与某人交谈;daily conversation 日常对话;start/begin a conversation 开始交谈;in conversation 在谈话中。例:Daily conversation helps you learn a new language faster. 日常对话能帮助你更快地学习一门新语言。
③invention n. 发明;创造——make an invention 做出发明;a useful/new invention 有用的/新的发明;the invention of... ……的发明;countless inventions 数不清的发明。例:The lightning rod is one of Franklin's most famous inventions. 避雷针是富兰克林最著名的发明之一。
【知识点】
▶词形链条记三词:invent(v.发明)→invention(n.发明物)→inventor(n.发明家);succeed(v.)→success(n.)→successful(adj.);converse→conversation——检测词形第 1 题 inventors(人)、第 2 题 success(物)、第 4 题 conversation 正考这条链。
【提示框】
第 1 题 one of the most famous 后接可数复数→inventors(发明家之一,one of+复数);第 2 题 a great 后接名词→success——词性判断先行,拼写随后。
(十一)语言点精讲 · 三组深化
①set...apart from...:意为「使……突出;使……与众不同」——set 为动词,apart 为副词,from 后接比较对象;强调某人或某物因具备某种特质而区别于其他同类,常用于描述人物的优秀品质或事物的独特优势。例:Her curiosity about science sets her apart from other students in the class. 她对科学的好奇心使她在班里与其他学生不同。
②teach oneself (by doing sth.):意为「自学」,teach oneself 相当于 learn by oneself;by doing sth. 表示「通过做某事的方式」,说明自学的具体途径——强调学习的主动性和方法的实践性,是本单元「终身学习」主题的核心表达。例:He taught himself coding by watching online videos. 他通过观看在线视频自学了编程。
③in order to:意为「为了……」,引导目的状语;与 to do 相比,in order to 语气更正式,且可以放在句首或句中,否定形式为 in order not to——在本课中用于描述富兰克林为达成所愿而付出的努力,体现其自律与坚持。例:She practices English every morning in order to speak more fluently. 她每天早上练习英语,以便说得更流利。
【知识点】
▶三组钉成三句话:set sb. apart from 使出众(apart 固定副词);teach oneself by doing 自学(=learn by oneself);in order to+动词原形表目的(正式、可句首、否定 in order not to)——检测两道选择与五道词形全部落在这三句话上。
【提示框】
检测第 1 题 did it ______ return→后接动词原形→in order to(C);若空后是从句才选 so that/in order that——「to 后原形、that 后从句」一秒分清。
(十二)随堂检测
限时独立完成随堂检测(本课词汇与语言点),完成后同桌互批,逐题核对订正。
一、1. C 2. B 二、3. inventors 4. success 5. himself 6. conversation 7. to speak
