高中英語人教版Unit1Culturalrelics 市賽獲獎

TeachingplanforM2U1:ReadingDesignedby:蔡夏冰文本解讀：本文的標題為“InSearchoftheAmberRoom”（尋找琥珀屋），但全文的重點并非是對琥珀屋的尋找，而是講了琥珀屋從建造到轉增，然后到改造，再到失蹤，最后重建的整個歷史過程。至于標題中尋找這一關鍵詞，則只用了“Afterthat,whathappenedtotheAmberRoomremainsamystery.”一句話帶過。因此，文章的標題與內容并不太相符。針對這個問題，可以引導學生通過標題預測內容，再通過內容檢驗標題的方式，來體會文章標題和文章內容相互對應的關系。本文篇幅不長，難句較少，其中涉及的定語從句的知識點學生在模塊一已經(jīng)較為系統(tǒng)地學習過。因此，本校學生能夠通過自主閱讀掌握文章大致意思，完成課后理解練習。然而，學生在閱讀過程中可能出現(xiàn)的問題是，本文涉及到一定歷史知識，且人物較多、人物關系較為復雜，若不仔細閱讀容易混淆人物關系，難以理清各個人物與琥珀屋之間的關系。因此，本閱讀課的目標之一就是引導學生理清并講出文章中表層的和潛藏的各種關系，幫助他們真正讀懂文章。除了表層的信息，本文還有一些深層的信息值得挖掘。比如，F(xiàn)rederickWilliamI為什么要把琥珀屋當做禮物送給沙皇，可以引導學生聯(lián)系現(xiàn)在國家間外交的送禮行為，及背后的原因。琥珀屋在經(jīng)過幾代傳承后，到了CatherineII實際上是達到最輝煌的時候，成為世界奇觀之一，可以引導學生對這一層的意思進行理解。再比如，納粹入侵俄國時，把琥珀屋偷走的行為實際上是非常野蠻的。他們在很短的時間內把琥珀屋大肆切割，裝箱運走，體現(xiàn)出納粹不僅對他國和他國人民進行侵略、傷害，連他國的文化也不放過，非常貪婪殘暴。最后俄國與德國共同重建琥珀屋則可以引導學生就是否有必要重建消失的文物進行討論（但是該討論內容與本節(jié)閱讀課所學知識關聯(lián)不大，故在本課刪去）。另外，通過琥珀屋的歷史變遷可以看出，德國與俄國的關系也是處在動態(tài)變化中的。這些隱藏的信息學生可能在自主閱讀中很難領會到，需要老師在課堂上的指引。本文的課后理解練習共三題，第一題為連線題，將本文所有人物以及他們與琥珀屋之間的歷史事件進行連線，該練習主要考察學生細讀的能力。第二題為段落大意理解題，設有五個問題，每個問題為文章某一段的大意，學生需將段落大意與正確的段落相匹配并回答問題。該練習的段落大意編號環(huán)節(jié)考察學生略讀的能力，回答問題環(huán)節(jié)又考察學生的細讀能力。這兩道練習的內容有可取之處，但是在我個人的教學設計中又難以將它們在全部運用到課堂，因此，可選取其中的部分內容和形式進行改編。第三題為討論題，討論是否值得重建毀壞或消失的文物。該討論題的內容很好，只是與閱讀文章所涉及內容關聯(lián)不大，因此，不作課內討論使用。Teachingobjectives:Inthisclass,studentsareableto:Tellthedetailedinformationsuchasowners,events,functions,andvalueoftheAmberRoom.Guessthecontentofthereadingpassageaccordingtothetitle,andtellthemissinginformationofthepassageaccordingtothetitle.Teachingprocedures:Stepone:lead-inDoyouknowwhatareculturalrelics?Onpage1therearefourpictures.Theyareallculturalrelics.Lookatthesepictureanddiscusswithyourdeskmate.describethefeaturesofculturalrelicsusingthissentence:Culturalrelicsaresomethingthat…Herearefourpictures.Whichoneisnotaculturalrelic?Why?goldisnatural.Butwecanusegoldtomakeculturalrelics.Thematerialoftheculturalrelicwearegoingtolearninthisclassisthis.(presentthepictureofamber)Whatisit?Ifwecompareamberwithgold,whichoneismoreexpensive?Infact,sometimessomeamberofgoodqualitycanbe20timesmoreexpensivethangold.Nowasweallknow,amberisveryrareandprecious.Canyouimaginehere’sanentireroommadeofamber?Let’sappreciatesomepictures.WewillgettoknowmoreaboutthewonderfulAmberRoominthisclass.Steptwo:readingThisisthetitleofthereadingpassage.Let’sreadittogether.Accordingtothistitle,whatdoyouwanttoknow?(一人答一個，若三個學生學生聯(lián)系不到search的內容，則提示insearchof的意思)Inthistitle,there’saveryusefulexpression:insearchof.Whatdoesitmean?Withthehelpofthisexpression,whatelsedoyouwanttoknowaboutit?Wewillfindoutwhetheryourquestionscanbeansweredduringourreading.First,readthefirstsentenceofeachpara,andtell,thispassageiswritteninwhichorder?Gothroughthepassagequicklyandmatchtheparagraphswithmainideas.WecanfindthatAlloftheseparagraphsareabouttheAmberRoom.WhatistheAmberRoom?Let’sfocusonpara1first.Readpara1carefullyandfindthebasicinformationoftheAmberRoom.Wesayculturalrelicsaresomethingthatwasmadeinthepast.WhatkindofhistorydoestheAmberRoomhave?Yes,theAmberRoomhasanamazinghistory.Soitmusthavemanygothroughthepassagequickly,andfindoutallitsownersandcountries.（過一段時間）Howcanwefindthenameandthecountryasquicklyaswecan?Focusonthecapitalletter.Thesearealltheownersmentioned.WhathappenedtotheAmberRoomwhenitbelongedtodifferentowners?Readthepassagecarefullyandfinditout.(afterstudents’readingandthinking)Let’sreport.WhentheamberroombelongedtoFrederickI,whathappened?(FrederickWilliamI?PetertheGreat?)Whydidtheyexchangetheirgifts?toshowfriendship,andwillingnesstointernationalcooperation.Ok,let’smoveon.WhatdidCatherineIIdototheAmberRoom?Howdidtheroomlooklikeaftersheaddedmoredetails?(theNazis?RussiansandGermans?)WhatdidtheRussiansdotosavetheamberroombeforetheNaziscame?TheyremovesomefurnitureandsmallartobjectsfromtheAmberRoom.DidtheNazisgavetheamberroomgoodprotection?Howdoyouknowthat?Inlessthantwodays100,000pieceswereputinsidetwenty-sevenwoodenboxes.(theamberroomwasseparatedintosmallpiecesinahurry.inverylittletime,)WhatinformationcanwegetfromtheNazisbehaviour?Theynotonlyruinedcountriesandkilledthepeople,butalsoruinedthepricelessculturerelicsofothercountries.Theirbehaviourleadtogreatdestructionofhumancivilization.Nowlet’smovebacktothetitle.Inyouropinion,isitagoodtitle?Discusswithyourdeskmateandgiveyourreasons.AsIhavementionedbefore,agoodtitleshouldbecloselyrelatedtothemainideaofthewordsareimportantinthistitle?(search,amberroom).Wecallthesetwoimportantwordskeywords.Arebothkeywordsfullyusedinthepassage?Whichoneismissing?(Actually,wetalkedsolittleaboutsearch,haveyoufoundthat?There’sonlyonesentenceinpara4thattalksaboutthefindingoftheamberroom.Canyoufindit?Let’sreadittogether.)IfIwanttokeepthistitle,whatdetailsshouldweaddtothisreadingpassage,andwhereshouldweaddthem?Discusswithyourdeskmate.Nowafterreadingthispassage,canyouuseoneadjectivetodescribethisroom?Iseedifferentpeoplehavedifferentopinions.Discussinyourgroupandfindasmuchevidenceaspossibletosupportyouri
