高一英语人教版必修三Unit5Canada—“TheTrueNorth”Reading学案

人教版必修 3 Unit 5 Reading A Trip on “The True North” 教材分析 本课的话题是“加拿大”，阅读部分通过主人公的旅程介绍了加拿大的地理 位置、人口数量、沿途城市、著名景点等内容，增进学生对加拿大的了解。不同 国家、不同地域的文化是不同的，了解加拿大的风土有助于培养学生的多元文化 意识。课文内容按照出行背景、途中聊天、沿途见闻的思路撰写，其中描述的加 拿大情况、城市介绍等较散杂，有必要对教学内容进行调整，对文中的数字和城 市进行阅读整理，并用加拿大地图帮助学生理解本课内容。 学情分析 大部分学生对加拿大的了解只停留在表面，因此应首先给学生呈现加拿大的 背景知识；学生的口语尚可，可以在这节阅读课中设置有趣而富有挑战的听说任 务，激发学生的学习热情；学生的自主学习能力较强，通过自主学习、相互探讨、 勇于发言，学生能提高语言综合运用能力。 设计思想 在传统的教学中，阅读课、听说课是较为常见的高中英语课型，本次设计将 阅读课与听说课结合起来，以“听读”为输入、“说”为输出，使阅读材料通俗 易懂，教学过程丰富有趣。 《高中英语课程标准》指出，“高中英语课程的设计与实施要有利于学生优 化英语学习方式，使他们通过观察、体验、探究等积极主动的学习方法，充分发 挥自己的学习潜能，形成有效的学习策略，提高自主学习能力……”。基于这一 指导思想，结合教材实际，本课对教材内容、编排顺序等进行了调整、替换、补 充和删除，采用“读说结合”的方式，以情景教学法导入，创意设置“读说”任 务，采用自主学习与小组合作学习相结合的方式，使学习的过程成为一个思考、 探讨、求真、体验、展示的过程。 教学目标 知识目标 1.
