Unit 1　Festivals and Celebrations　Reading and Thinking

导学案

Why Do We Celebrate Festivals?

Class: ____________　Name: ____________　Group: ______　Date: ________

 

一、学习目标

1.  读出五段各自的领起句，据此把全文分成三部分，说明这样分的依据。

2.  说出 P1 的四类起源与共同精神，说出 P2 三地丰收节各做了什么，并指出三地合起来证明了哪一句。

3.  分辨 P3 两个例子中哪一个逐渐消失、哪一个有新传统确立，用 fade away 与 be established 说明这一区别。

4.  依据 P4 的两种声音与全文代词，判断作者有没有选边、写给谁，并用 P5 的功能句与课文词块介绍武汉的一项活动。

 

二、学习重难点

重点

找出每段的领起句，说明五段分成三部分的依据；分辨 P3 两个例子中哪一个逐渐消失、哪一个有新传统确立；用 P4 的让步句式判断作者有没有选边。

难点

在表格里把“这段讲什么”换成“哪一句领起全段”，并写清句子序号与关键词；用 fade away 和 be established 分别对应 P3 的两个例子，不把两例都写成“变了”；从 Although some believe…, others believe… 这一句式里找依据，不用印象判断作者立场；代词放到第 5 题。

 

三、学情分析

本课在 2027 年春季学期开设，学生读高一（下），使用的是必修第三册。他们已经能读懂说明文的单句，也能说出段落大意，但说出的多是“这段讲了什么”，很少指到领起全段的那一句。

多数学生在武汉长大，归元寺数罗汉、东湖看樱、渡江节、琴台音乐节这四处，他们大多去过或听过，说得出场面，说不清这些活动从哪来。P1 的四类起源可以从这份经验讲起。

三个常见问题分别落在读段落、辨变化、说立场三处。Activity 1 要求先写句子序号和关键词，Activity 5 把两个例子并排比，Activity 6 要求写出具体的词，各自针对一处。

 

四、词库 Word Bank（课文词块，右栏是本课用到它的地方）

词块可按语境变形使用，如 has faded away、has been established、takes advantage of。

 

五、Before Reading

Part A  Four scenes in Wuhan　(3 min)

 

Where did each scene start? Choose one of the four (a season / a religion / a famous figure / an important event) for the second column, and write the words in the card that decided it for the third.

 

Part B  Ask the title　(1 min)

The title is one question. Before you read, give it two answers of your own, two or three words each.

Why do we celebrate festivals?

My answer 1: ____________________　　My answer 2: ____________________

 

六、While Reading

Activity 1  Five first sentences　(5 min)

Read the five paragraphs. In each one, find the sentence that the other sentences support, and copy three or four words from it.

1.  What do the five sentence numbers have in common?  ____________________

2.  Two paragraphs do not answer the title directly. Which two, and what do they talk about instead?

____________________________________________________________________

 

Activity 2  Three parts　(3 min)

The five paragraphs are not doing the same job. Use the sentences you found in Activity 1 and put the five paragraphs into three parts.

1.  The last sentence of P1 and the last sentence of P5 say almost the same thing. Join them into one sentence with so.

The spirit of ______________________________ is common in all festivals, so different cultures actually ______________________________.

2.  Would the text still work if P4 came first? Give your answer and one reason from the text.

____________________________________________________________________

 

Activity 3  P1: four origins, one spirit　(4 min)

P1 is the first row of your table in Activity 1. The paragraph gives four kinds of origins, then turns to one thing they share.

1.  Complete the four kinds with the words of the text. Two are given.

the seasons of the year / r____________ (plural) / famous figures / i__________ e__________

2.  What does “However” do in this paragraph?  Circle one.

A. It adds one more kind of origin.　B. It turns from differences to what is shared.　C. It gives an example.

3.  Which four nouns name the shared spirit? Write them in the order of the text.

________　　________　　________　　________

4.  Go back to Part A. Which card is the easiest to put in the wrong kind? Write the card and the word in it that misled you.

____________________________________________________________________

 

Activity 4  P2: three places, one claim　(4 min)

P2 is the second row. It gives a general claim, then the time and the reason for giving thanks, then what three places do.

1.  When is the harvest festival? Answer with the words of P2.

3.  P2 proves one item on the list at the end of P1. Which item?  ____________________

 

Activity 5  P3: two examples, two directions　(4 min)

P3 is the third row. It says customs change, then gives two examples that move in opposite directions.

1.  Which word from P3 fits each custom, fade away or be established?

Firecrackers: ____________________　　Halloween: ____________________

2.  Why does the writer need two examples? What would one example alone prove?
