教学设计理念
本课依据英语课程标准,践行英语学习活动观,以单元主题意义探究为核心,围绕 “人与自然‑野生动物保护” 主题,设置学习理解‑应用实践‑迁移创新递进式课堂活动。
1. 以短视频、图片导入,激活学生关于野生动物迁徙的已有生活经验,实现情境化导入;
2. 引导学生自主梳理说明文篇章结构,获取细节信息,归纳说明方法,训练信息提取、概括的阅读能力;
3. 立足文本 “美洲帝王蝶迁徙”,联系现实生态现状,引导学生思考人与自然的关系,树立野生动物保护意识;
4. 落实语言能力、文化意识、思维品质、学习能力四大核心素养;课堂对接分层作业设计,兼顾不同层次学生,做到课堂学习与课后巩固一体化。
教材分析
【What】Starting out 板块:展示多种野生动物图片、短视频,呈现动物迁徙现象,抛出问题 “Why do animals migrate?”,激活主题,引发思考。
Understanding ideas 板块课文是说明文A day at the zoo? No, it’s a migration!,以帝王蝶(Monarch butterfly)的迁徙为核心。文章介绍帝王蝶每年跨越北美大陆的漫长迁徙旅程;阐述迁徙的原因、迁徙中面临的生存危机;分析人类活动带来的生存威胁,呼吁保护帝王蝶,守护生物多样性。文本属于科普说明文,包含大量和动物、自然、环境相关词汇;文章结构清晰:引入现象→介绍迁徙过程→分析威胁→发出保护呼吁。
【Why】1. 主题层面:属于 “人与自然” 大主题,帮助学生认识动物迁徙现象,了解濒危野生动物现状,增强生态保护意识,建立人与自然和谐共处的观念。
2. 语言层面:学习科普说明文的阅读策略,学会梳理说明文体框架;积累自然生态主题词汇;训练学生获取、筛选、概括科普文本信息的能力。
3. 技能层面:从输入走向输出,能够用英语简单描述动物迁徙,表达保护野生动物的观点。
【How】文体为科普说明文;篇章结构:现象引入 — 过程介绍 — 问题分析 — 呼吁;使用举例子、列数字等说明方法;大量动词、名词描述动物行为、生存环境;文本兼具知识性与人文性,既有客观科普知识,又包含情感态度与价值导向。

1.我校将以保护帝王蝶为主题,举办英语征文比赛。请你写一篇短文投稿。内容包括:

2.措施
3.倡议
【答案】
Protect the Beautiful Monarch Butterflies
Nowadays, monarch butterflies are in great danger. Their population has dropped sharply in recent years. Human activities bring them serious trouble. People cut down trees and use harmful chemicals. These actions destroy their natural home and kill the plants that monarch caterpillars feed on.
Luckily, people have taken action to save them. Scientists record their migration and work to make sure there are enough plants for them to live on. More and more people are raising public awareness of protecting this lovely creature.
Every small effort matters. We should learn more about monarch butterflies and tell our friends about their difficult situation. Let’s refuse harmful chemicals and plant more milkweed for them. If we all take action, these wonderful butterflies will fly freely in nature for many years to come.
Design a simple English poster slogan for protecting wild migrating animals. Draw simple pictures and write 3‑5 English sentences on your poster.

教学反思
优点:教学设计遵循英语学习活动观,以主题意义引领课堂,从视频导入到读、思、说,活动层层递进,完整落实科普说明文阅读教学
缺点:科普文本包含较多长难句与专有名词,部分基础薄弱学生阅读压力较大;课堂时间有限,长难句拆解讲解不够充分。
改进:课前布置预习任务,提前扫清部分专有名词障碍;细读环节挑选 2‑3 个典型长难句进行句法拆解,降低理解难度。
