高二英语下学期Unit 14 Festivals.docVIP

Unit 14 Festivals Period 1: Warming up, Listening and Speaking 设计思想： 本单元的中心话题是“节日”，首先通过“春节”导入，教师启发，鼓励学生大胆思考，自由讨论。在“热身”、“听力”及“口语”三个环节中，以“节日”话题为中心，设计不同层次和多种形式的“任务型”活动，同时用多媒体课件展示大量图片及文字资料介绍其它中外节日，使学生扩大视野，认识和了解不同的节日文化，帮助他们提高口语与听力水平，以及人文素养。在教学过程中，对教材内容进行了适当、灵活的整合，同时对一些课堂活动进行延伸，使其更加符合学生需要和贴近学生的实际生活。 教学内容分析： “热身”部分设计了两个内容，要求学生展开讨论并回答问题：1.看图了解、讨论不同国家举行不同节日的情况；2.比较中外节日的内容。通过活动帮助学生认识各种节日的表现形式，了解其不同的文化内涵，引起学生对节日文化的思考。“听力”部分在“热身”的基础上进一步帮助学生了解一些宗教和民族的节日：Mardi Gras、Ramadan和Easter，这也能引起他们的好奇，同时有利于他们听力水平的提高。“口语”部分让学生讨论一些当代人们所关心的主题节日，把学生的注意力引向自己生活的世界，引导学生对现代社会一些常见的深层次问题的思考，并锻炼学生在比较真实的情景中用英语阐述自己的意见，做到以理服人，以此提高口头表达能力。 Teaching Aims: 1.
