Ⅶ Teaching procedures
Step 1 Free talk and lead-in
(1)Play a video about colours to lead in the topic of colours.
【设计理念:本课话题是颜色的力量,要讲的是颜色能够影响人的情绪,所以课前播放关于颜色的视频,能迅速激起学生对于颜色的兴趣,引入话题。】
T:Boys and girls,just now we watched a video.
Do you know what it is about?How many colours can you see?
T:Yes!It's about different colours.What are they?Which is your favourite one?
(2)Show several pictures and introduce the types of colours and what they represent.
【设计理念:由颜色视频导入到各种颜色所代表的含义和用法。会拼、会读与颜色相关的单词,会运用重点句式。在教学过程中,注重单词的拼写和音标教学以及四会单词的带读和拼读以及重点句式的操练。】
T:OK.Different people like different colours.Actually,different colours have different meanings and are used in different situations.
Step 2 Fast reading
Ask students to read the article quickly.
【设计理念:学生通过快速阅读文章找到两个问题的答案。通过此步骤学生可以对文章有个大致了解,并且能够锻炼学生的快速阅读能力。】
T:Read the passage about colours and what they represent quickly and find out the answers to the two questions.
T:Read quickly and answer the two questions:
①How many kinds of colours are talked about in the text?
②What are they?
Step 3 Careful reading
Read the passage paragraph by paragraph and try to finish these tasks.Read more carefully.
(1)Read Para.1 and answer the true or false questions.
(2)Read Para.2 and try to fill in the blanks about calm colours.
(3)Read Para.3 about warm colours and answer the three questions.
(4)Read Para.4 about energetic colours and answer the three questions.
(5)Read Para.5 about strong colours and try to complete the passage.
【设计理念:在快速阅读已经对文章有所了解的基础上进行更加细致的细读,能够帮助学生更好地锻炼阅读能力。第一段设置的是判断正误,第二段是填空,第三、四段是回答问题,第五段是完成短文。每一段设置不同形式的任务,帮助学生锻炼不同的阅读能力,也有益于防止学生因觉得枯燥而失去阅读兴趣。】
Step 4 Post-reading&Practice
Read the passage again and try to finish the exercises.
【设计理念:在全文阅读完成后,用书后练习帮助学生用不同形式的任务对全文再次进行回顾。】
T:Now you have learned a lot about colours and their meanings.
①What do colours represent?
②Finish a summary.
③Finish the questionnaire with your own information.
Pair work(Talk about their questionnaire)
【设计理念:让学生根据问卷两两合作完成对话。在完成对话时,注重语音和语调的培养和指正,提高学生的口语水平。及时给有困难的学生提供帮助。】
T:Just now you have finished the questionnaire about your own favourite colour.Please work with your partner and interview each other about your favourite colour.
Step 5 Group work
【设计理念:在具体的情境中进行当堂反馈,让学生先在组内讨论再进行对话,能够扩大学生的参与面。内容贴近学生生活,能够帮助学生将所学知识灵活运用到实际生活中。】
T:This is Tom.He will take part in a football match this week.This is Lucy.She will have an exam tomorrow,so she feels sad.What should they wear?What colours should they choose?Discuss with your group members and try to give them some suggestions.
Step 6 Homework

Ⅸ Teaching reflection
本课在设计时突出体现了Reading课型增加学生生词量和训练学生阅读技巧的教学目标。在导入时与本课主题相联系,以视频的方式导入,使得学生注意力被充分吸引到课堂上来。在导入过程中,同样引入了多种形式的呈现方式,大量的图片信息可以防止学生在听课时疲劳走神。教学内容按照由词到句、由句到篇的方式安排,层层递进,充分考虑学生的学习规律,帮助学生掌握新知。在新知识导入环节,充分的带读和操练使整节课更加实在,使学生能够能动性地学习语言知识点,而不是被动的说教。
阅读环节充分遵循学生学习的规律,采用快读—细读—读后训练的基本模式,且每个阅读环节都能采用不同形式的阅读任务,让完成任务成为学生学习的驱动力,改变传统课堂的以教师为授课主体的形式,真正发挥学生的主观能动性,在完成任务的过程中使得学生的各种阅读技能得到充分的锻炼。阅读后,及时给学生布置任务,对全文及时回顾,并且联系自身,进行内化。在阅读的过程中,教师积极给予适当的指导,尤其是对于阅读技巧方面的指导。
课堂运用了pair work,group work等活动,突出了学生学习方式的转变,有效地促进学生积极参与学习的过程。而小组合作互助学习建立在充分的先学基础上,突出了小组互助的力量,强调了学生的学在教学中的重要性。教师在学生合作的时候积极扮演协助者的角色,在学生需要帮助的时候及时给予帮助,适当提醒,让学生能够自己得出答案。并且在学生出错的时候及时纠正。
但是,很多教学细节还有待商榷,学生的表演展示环节由于时间限制,显得过于仓促,应该重新调整课堂节奏,把握课堂重点,给学生充分展示交流的时间。同时,教师在课堂上的教学用语不够精练,应当勤于锤炼,简化指示语,给学生更多的口头表达的机会。另外,板书设计可以进行优化,应当找到板书内容之间的内在联系,使得板书更加具有逻辑性。
点评:
本节课的教学设计安排是由词→句→篇。“词”是基础,“句”是过渡或桥梁,“篇”是目的。整个过程遵循“低起点,小步子”的原则,在步与步之间铺设台阶,构建一个个小的层次,活动的安排由易到难,循序渐进,最后达成目标。准确把握教材重点,突出重点,突破难点。
阅读的过程是首先运用快速阅读这一阅读技巧,设计两个问题让学生总览全文;再次通过细读,设计五个活动内容以锻炼与提升学生的阅读能力;最后设计了复述、完成调查表、两两对话、小组讨论等一系列的读后活动,联系学生的生活实际与自身的经历、知识、观点,激发学生的思维能力、想象能力和创造能力。
本节课的设计还突出强调学生学习方式的转变,通过师生问答、生生对话和小组活动引导学生把接受学习转变为探究学习,把个体学习转变为合作学习。课堂上,教师就是要把课堂还给学生,多让学生来讨论和讲解;把思考空间还给学生,有争议的问题让学生展开讨论,自己找出答案,充分调动学生的学习积极性;把设问质疑还给学生,善于引导学生于无疑处觅有疑,善于激疑并有意训练学生发现问题的能力。如能将以上三点深入到教学的各个环节,本节课的设计会精彩纷呈。
本节课的设计中提到的快速阅读是指利用视觉运动的规律,在较短的时间里阅读文本,从中获得所需信息,使学生提高阅读速度的方法。无论是跳读还是扫读都属于快速阅读的范畴。快速阅读要求运用眼球,扩大视幅,控制视线。阅读表面是用眼睛看,实际是用脑子读。快速阅读可以实现:(1)通过预测判断文章内容,使思维对新出现的信息有所准备和做出推测,从而促使思维积极活动。(2)抓主题句,弄清文章的中心论点,准确地预测文章内容。(3)抓住新信息。阅读是不断获得新信息的过程,弄清文章信息的发展规律,才能构成一个总的概念。(4)利用学生的竞争心理,用计时阅读训练激发学生的紧迫感和效率意识,总结出“以迅速捕捉信息为目的的速度固定程序”。如果教学设计从这些细节入手会更有新意及实现阅读的有效性。
