教学设计说明：
一，教材分析：
本课是牛津教材第二学期第二单元第四课的 Reading， 本单元式介绍自然世界中的动物和
植物，本课以蜘蛛为主题，让学生能了解自然界中虽不起眼却相当重要的一个生物，改变学
生一贯对蜘蛛的厌恶，能正确的认识大自然中的生物。
二，学生分析：
地处上海偏远郊区的一所普通中学，学生的基础相对较差，词汇量积累少，口语表达尤为薄
弱，大多数学生学习缺乏主动，并不出于自身的需要去学习，仅仅为了应付老师和家长。
三，教学目标：
1. 知识与能力：
通过学习，让学生能了解文章的大概内容，了解蜘蛛在哪三个方面起着不可代替的作用，并
能掌握本课的核心重点词汇的语音和含义，最后训练其语言组织的能力。
2. 过程与方法：
学生能通过联系语境猜测词意，能通过阅读课文找到相关答案，能通过若干提示，回忆课文
重点内容，能通过核心词，连词成句，达到一定得输出。
3. 情感与价值观
学生通过语篇的阅读，老师的诱导，能一步步扭转对蜘蛛的印象，能渐渐的得出，蜘蛛是人
类的朋友而非敌人这一概念。
四，教学重点与难点：
本课的教学重点，在于让学生在有限的时间内通过阅读了解文章的大意，并在最后有一个产
出。而难点就在于，是否能做到让大多数的同学都达到这一目标。
