Unit 6 Wisdom counts Section 1 Reading(The night of the horse)教学设计
文本解读 |
本课时选自沪教版《英语》八年级上册(2026年最新修订版)Unit 6 Wisdom counts。本单元围绕“智慧”这一主题展开,Section 1为“体验和理解语言”板块,核心语篇The night of the horse(《木马之夜》)改编自古希腊传说“特洛伊木马”的故事。语篇讲述了希腊军队围攻特洛伊城十年未果,最后假装撤军并留下一匹巨大的木马;特洛伊人不听士兵劝告,将木马拉入城内彻夜庆祝;午夜时分,藏在木马中的希腊士兵悄悄爬出,打开城门,里应外合,一夜之间智取特洛伊城。故事情节曲折、语言生动,蕴含“智慧比力量更强大”的深刻寓意。通过本课时的学习,学生能够梳理故事情节、分析人物态度变化,初步运用visualizing(形象化)阅读策略在头脑中构画画面,理解故事寓意,为单元后续听说、语法、写作板块奠定语言与内容基础。 |

新课导入 |
(一)情境创设 同学们,你们玩过“华容道”或听过“空城计”的故事吗?在中国古代,智者常常不费一兵一卒便化险为夷。而在两千多年前的古希腊,也有一场“不战而胜”的传奇——一座固若金汤的城池,竟在一夜之间被一匹“巨大的木马”攻破了。这匹木马究竟藏着什么秘密?让我们穿越回爱琴海畔的特洛伊城,一探究竟。 (二)图片激趣 (教师在大屏幕上展示特洛伊木马电影剧照和古希腊城邦图片) 师:Look at the picture. What can you see? S1: I can see a huge wooden horse. 师:Do you know why the Greeks built this wooden horse? What did the Trojans do with it? Today we'll read an exciting ancient story—The night of the horse, and find out how wisdom beat strength. (学生齐读课题,教师板书Unit 6 Wisdom counts Section 1 Reading) |
探究新知 |
任务一:Pre-reading 读前预测 1. 观察教材第84—85页故事插图,预测故事内容。 师:Look at the pictures. Who are the characters? What are they doing? What will happen in the story? S1: I think the story is about a war between the Greeks and the Trojans. S2: Maybe some soldiers are hiding in the wooden horse. 2. 处理生词,扫清障碍 利用图片和语境学习生词:soldier(士兵), wooden(木制的), captain(首领), capture(攻占), victory(胜利), secretly(秘密地), celebrate(庆祝)。 【要点点拨】结合词缀记忆:secret(秘密)+ly→secretly(秘密地);wood(木头)+en→wooden(木制的)。词性转换是扩词的重要途径。 |
任务二:While-reading 读中探究 1. 略读(Skimming)把握故事主线 快速默读故事,思考:How long did the Greeks try to capture Troy? Who won the war at last? 【要点点拨】The Greeks spent ten years trying to capture the city of Troy. In the end, they succeeded in capturing it in just one night with a clever trick—and | |

| without any fighting.故事采用“总—分—总”结构:首尾段点明结果,中间按时间顺序叙述经过。 2. 寻读(Scanning)梳理时间线 细读故事,按时间顺序梳理故事经过。 【要点点拨】 ① During the day:The Greek army sailed away and left a huge wooden horse.(白天:希腊军队扬帆离去,只留下一匹巨大的木马) ② In the evening:The Trojans pulled the horse into the city and celebrated around it in the main square. They made jokes about the “stupid” Greeks.(傍晚:特洛伊人把木马拉进城,在主广场载歌载舞,嘲笑“愚蠢”的希腊人) ③ After the party:The Trojans locked all the gates and went to sleep.(狂欢结束后:特洛伊人锁上城门入睡) ④ At midnight:By midnight the main square was empty. The Greek soldiers inside the horse opened the secret door, climbed out, and quietly made their way to the main gate to let in the Greek soldiers waiting outside.(午夜:木马中的希腊士兵爬出,打开城门,放进城外的大军) ⑤ In the end:The Greeks captured the city in just one night without any fighting.(结局:希腊人不战而胜,一夜之间攻占特洛伊) 3. 运用visualizing策略,构画画面 visualizing意为“在头脑中构画画面”。请同学们边读边“放电影”:读到stairs two at a time时,想象士兵两级一跳冲下楼梯的紧张画面;读到the empty Greek camp时,想象希腊军营空无一人的场景。 【要点点拨】描述性词语和比喻性语言是构画画面的线索。抓住stairs、the empty sea、on wheels等词,画面感越清晰,对故事的理解就越深入。 4. 推断人物心理 (1)How did the Trojan soldier feel when he came down the stairs? Why? 【要点点拨】He was excited because he thought they had won the war.(他以为战争已胜,所以兴奋不已) (2)Why did the Greek soldiers inside the horse wait for another hour? 【要点点拨】They wanted to be sure that the Trojans were asleep.(他们要确保特洛伊人已熟睡,可见计谋之周密) |

任务三:Post-reading 读后深化 1. 词汇运用(Vocabulary practice) 用capture, victory, wooden, secretly, succeed in的正确形式补全句子。 |
