PAGE2PAGE教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)本節(jié)課是試卷講評課，主要設(shè)計(jì)了兩個(gè)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)：1.Tosolvethemistakesintheexaminationpapersbydiscussing.2.Toenjoythebeautyofdifferentstylesofart.通過這兩個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)讓學(xué)生對本單元的話題有更深刻的認(rèn)識。在學(xué)習(xí)方法上采取小組討論，小組糾錯(cuò)，個(gè)人反思，個(gè)人發(fā)問等不同的方式，充分調(diào)動(dòng)不同層次的學(xué)生的積極性。課前活動(dòng)：用一節(jié)課的時(shí)間讓學(xué)生做完四篇閱讀和一篇完型。課中活動(dòng)：Ⅰ.WatchingandtalkingWatchashortvideoaboutsandpaintingandtalkaboutyourfeelingsaboutit.借這個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)引起學(xué)生的興趣，導(dǎo)入授課內(nèi)容。Ⅱ.CheckingandDiscussing:Checktheanswerstothepassagesthatwehavealreadydoneanddiscusswithyourpartnersaboutthemistakesyouhavemade.PassageAWordsandphrases:1.rare__________2.date__________3.extinct__________4.clue__________5.stickto__________6.setapart__________PassageBSentences:1.Itdoesn’tinvolvedefectivehearing.___________________________________2.IjustwishIhadlearnedtosaythatwhenIwasseventeennotseventy.___________________________________________________________________________PassageCTheorganizationofthepassage：Thefirstparagraph:_________________________________________________BorninClaremore:_________________ThesecondtothefifthparagraphAtageof20:_________________Herlasthit:_________________Throughoutthe1950s:_______________Thelastparagraph:________________________________________________________通過討論，自糾這個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)，讓學(xué)生從根本上找出自己的問題的癥結(jié)。通過做閱讀理解的延伸練習(xí)讓學(xué)生深層次的理解文章。Ⅲ.Communicatingandinstructing:Howcouldyouavoidmakingsuchmistakes?這一環(huán)節(jié)是教師起高屋建瓴般的點(diǎn)撥作用，通過第二環(huán)節(jié)的自糾，互糾，練習(xí)，給學(xué)生總結(jié)出做閱讀理解和完型填空的做題方法。閱讀理解解題指導(dǎo)：主旨大意題：1.尋找主題句，確定文章大意。2.抓住段落大意，概括中心思想。3.抓主線和關(guān)鍵詞，歸納文章中心。細(xì)節(jié)理解題：1.根據(jù)文段的結(jié)構(gòu)和寫作順序，有針對性地尋讀，迅速鎖定相關(guān)內(nèi)容。2.劃定關(guān)鍵詞語，然后加以重點(diǎn)理解。詞義猜測題：1.根據(jù)邏輯關(guān)系，猜詞義。2.從生詞的對立面猜測詞義。完形填空解題指導(dǎo)：左顧右盼細(xì)搭配；細(xì)心推敲學(xué)推理；熟記詞義巧辨析。Ⅳ.RemedialExercises:補(bǔ)救性練習(xí)設(shè)計(jì)了三篇閱讀，前兩篇是設(shè)計(jì)的主旨大意題，第三篇設(shè)計(jì)了細(xì)節(jié)題和推理判斷題，通過補(bǔ)救性練習(xí)，學(xué)生可以自己評價(jià)本節(jié)課所學(xué)知識的效果?？傊?，這節(jié)課通過學(xué)生自查，自糾，互糾，討論，深化；教師引領(lǐng)，指導(dǎo)等方式把在限時(shí)訓(xùn)練中出現(xiàn)的問題一一解決，并通過解決的問題深化學(xué)生對此類題的認(rèn)識，理解，旁敲側(cè)通。充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生的主觀能動(dòng)性，教師盡量給學(xué)生創(chuàng)造一種寬松，和諧的學(xué)習(xí)氛圍。Unit1Art學(xué)情分析本班學(xué)生總共61人，本此限時(shí)訓(xùn)練總分60分，最高分57分，平均分41.6分，最低分25.5分。及格分?jǐn)?shù)線為36分，及格人數(shù)47人；及格率77%。優(yōu)秀分?jǐn)?shù)線48分，優(yōu)秀人數(shù)16人，優(yōu)秀率26.2%。本班學(xué)生英語基礎(chǔ)尚可，大部分學(xué)生都能在這份試題中達(dá)到及格水平。優(yōu)秀人數(shù)占到全班的四分之一可以看出優(yōu)秀人數(shù)不是很多，尤其是平時(shí)表現(xiàn)比較突出的同學(xué)，比如張梓涵、張子菲、路方舟沒有做好。這說明雖然大部分學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語有好的基礎(chǔ)，但在學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣上有欠妥的地方?？紤]到這份限時(shí)訓(xùn)練題的難度，最高分57分應(yīng)該是做得相當(dāng)不錯(cuò)的。因此在講評中還要注重培養(yǎng)學(xué)生分析問題、解決問題的能力，發(fā)展批判性思維。大部分學(xué)生出錯(cuò)地方如下：題號題型1主旨大意題12細(xì)節(jié)理解題13詞義猜測題19形容詞短語辨析25動(dòng)詞詞義辨析28名詞詞義辨析30動(dòng)詞短語辨析效果分析本節(jié)課為一節(jié)講評課，通過視頻導(dǎo)入引起學(xué)生的興趣，活躍了課堂氣氛。在自查，自糾，互糾環(huán)節(jié)中，我創(chuàng)造了一種寬松、熱烈的課堂氛圍，讓學(xué)生通過自學(xué)，互學(xué)等方式找出自己問題的癥結(jié)。接下來我重點(diǎn)反饋了學(xué)生對一些疑難問題的理解，之后和學(xué)生一起總結(jié)出做題的技巧和規(guī)律。然后在當(dāng)堂達(dá)標(biāo)時(shí)設(shè)計(jì)環(huán)節(jié)時(shí)，挑選了一些學(xué)生感興趣的文章，在設(shè)計(jì)問題時(shí)重點(diǎn)設(shè)計(jì)了學(xué)生在限時(shí)訓(xùn)練時(shí)出現(xiàn)的重點(diǎn)問題?？傊@節(jié)課我一直貫徹以學(xué)生為主體，教師為指導(dǎo)的原則，給學(xué)生創(chuàng)造寬松的學(xué)習(xí)氛圍，讓學(xué)生在自主，互動(dòng)的方式中展開學(xué)習(xí)，取得了比較好的效果。教材分析本單元的中心話題是西方繪畫藝術(shù)的歷史、中西方各種藝術(shù)形式與風(fēng)格，各時(shí)代的著名畫家和他們的作品。聽說讀寫等語言知識和語言技能主要圍繞“繪畫藝術(shù)”這一主題設(shè)計(jì)的。本單元引導(dǎo)學(xué)生討論這些問題，目的在于讓他們了解繪畫藝術(shù)及其各個(gè)歷史發(fā)展時(shí)期的不同風(fēng)格，培養(yǎng)他們對藝術(shù)的興趣。本單元涉及的要點(diǎn)是：1簡要了解西方和中國繪畫藝術(shù)的歷史和風(fēng)格，各時(shí)代的著名畫家以及他們的作品。2學(xué)習(xí)有關(guān)繪畫藝術(shù)的詞匯。3學(xué)會表達(dá)喜好和偏愛的日常交際用語。4學(xué)習(xí)虛擬語氣的用法。5學(xué)習(xí)建議信。本節(jié)講評課一共兩個(gè)課時(shí)，第一課時(shí)限時(shí)訓(xùn)練，第二課時(shí)為講評課。本評測練習(xí)一共分為三部分，第一部分是課前完成的限時(shí)訓(xùn)練題，第二部分是當(dāng)堂評測練習(xí)題，第三部分是課后拓展閱讀。第一部分包括四篇閱讀和一篇完型，要求學(xué)生在一節(jié)課之內(nèi)完成；第二部分是為了檢測學(xué)生在自糾，互糾，總結(jié)之后對所學(xué)內(nèi)容的掌握情況；第三部分是純粹的欣賞文章，沒有給學(xué)生設(shè)題，目的就是為了再給學(xué)生補(bǔ)充一些有關(guān)藝術(shù)的知識，拓寬學(xué)生的知識面。限時(shí)訓(xùn)練測試題=1\*ROMANIReadingComprehensionAScientistsrecentlydiscoveredthatpicturesoncavewallsatCreswellCragsaretheoldestknowninGreatBritain.Buttheydidn’tfindoutintheusualway.
