一、內(nèi)容與解析內(nèi)容:科普說明文《動(dòng)物游戲之謎》。解析:《動(dòng)物游戲之謎》是高中語文(必修)3第四單元的一篇科普說明文。科學(xué)是人類認(rèn)識(shí)世界的重要工具,是人類文化的重要組成部分,是標(biāo)志人類文明的尺度。閱讀科普文章,可以啟迪心志,激發(fā)想象,帶領(lǐng)我們進(jìn)入全新的科學(xué)天地,在科學(xué)海洋中遨游。本文思路清晰,內(nèi)容生動(dòng),揭開了動(dòng)物日常游戲行為的神秘面紗,擺出研究者的種種結(jié)論,既讓我們擴(kuò)大了視野,增長(zhǎng)了知識(shí),也讓我們明白了科學(xué)探索永無止境。學(xué)習(xí)本文的重點(diǎn)是提高的科普文的閱讀能力,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生勤于探索、勇于鉆研的科學(xué)精神。二、教學(xué)目標(biāo)及解析1、理清文章思路,明確本文的說明內(nèi)容和順序。2、品讀文章,感受本文的語言特色。3、激發(fā)探究興趣,培養(yǎng)篩選信息、提取要素及概括敘述的能力。4、挖掘人文內(nèi)涵,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生保護(hù)動(dòng)物的意識(shí)和勤于探索、勇于鉆研的科學(xué)精神。
巴金在十年浩劫中的大致經(jīng)歷:放棄包弟并沒有換得保全一家人,1968年8月,巴金被關(guān)進(jìn)牛棚改造,隨后經(jīng)受了大字報(bào)、掛牌游街等形式的批斗。1970年,到農(nóng)村改造,掏大糞、喂豬、背稻草、種地……1972年,妻子蕭珊在飽受精神折磨后患上癌癥,病逝。巴金的兒子在勞動(dòng)改造的過程中也飽受精神和肉體上的折磨,性格變得內(nèi)向抑郁,疾病纏身。此時(shí),巴金69歲。巴金曾在《病中》一文寫道:“當(dāng)姚文元拿著棒子的時(shí)候,我給關(guān)在牛棚里除了唯唯諾諾之外,敢于做過什么事情?十年間我不過是一條含著眼淚等人宰割的牛?!毙〗Y(jié):(幻燈片12)社會(huì)是病態(tài)的社會(huì),政治是高壓的政治,人性是扭曲的人性。十年文革,十年浩劫,給多少人留下了累累不可彌合的精神創(chuàng)傷。即使一條小狗,也可能擺脫不了“文革”無情的迫害,比如包弟,比如藝術(shù)家鄰居的小狗。
3、介紹對(duì)聯(lián)的歷史引出本課的重點(diǎn)。人類歷史上的第一副對(duì)聯(lián)是“新年納余慶,嘉節(jié)號(hào)長(zhǎng)春”。出現(xiàn)在五代十國(guó)時(shí)期(公元964年),距離現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有1044年了。有著一千多年歷史的對(duì)聯(lián)有什么基本的特點(diǎn)呢?這是我們這節(jié)課學(xué)習(xí)的重點(diǎn)。請(qǐng)?jiān)谧母魑划?dāng)回醫(yī)生,給下面這幅對(duì)聯(lián)號(hào)號(hào)脈,看它對(duì)仗是否工整?上聯(lián):冬去春來千條楊柳迎風(fēng)綠下聯(lián):冰消雪化梅花萬朵撲鼻有什么問題,怎么改?剛才這幾位同學(xué)指出了這幅對(duì)聯(lián)的兩個(gè)問題,也提出了兩條修改意見。第一是下聯(lián)少了一個(gè)字,最好是添加一個(gè)“香”字;第二是下聯(lián)的“梅花萬朵”與上聯(lián)的“千條楊柳”是數(shù)量詞對(duì)名詞,名詞對(duì)數(shù)量詞,對(duì)仗不工整,要調(diào)整為“萬朵梅花”。這樣,數(shù)量詞“萬朵”對(duì)“千條”,名詞“梅花”對(duì)“楊柳”。大家還有沒有不同的看法。這樣我們就可以得出對(duì)聯(lián)的兩個(gè)特點(diǎn)特點(diǎn):第一個(gè)特點(diǎn)是上下聯(lián)字?jǐn)?shù)要相等(板書)。就是上聯(lián)有幾個(gè)字,下聯(lián)也要有幾個(gè)字。大家記下來,對(duì)聯(lián)基本要求一,“上下聯(lián)字?jǐn)?shù)相等”。這個(gè)要求是很嚴(yán)格的,一般來說,違反這個(gè)規(guī)則就不成對(duì)聯(lián)了。
請(qǐng)問,作者究竟聽到歌聲沒有?”學(xué)生回答:“沒有?!薄斑@里是比喻,因?yàn)檫@里用得是‘仿佛’一詞……”對(duì),是比喻。也就是說,作者是用歌聲來比喻荷香,是吧?“但是,“荷香與歌聲有什么可比的共同點(diǎn)嗎?”“荷香與歌聲都是斷斷續(xù)續(xù)、若有若無的。”“而且朦朦朧朧的?!薄皩?duì)?!昂上愫透杪暥际恰|縷’的、‘渺?!?。這是比喻。這是一種特殊的比喻,錢鐘書先生把它叫做‘通感’。人們通過視覺、聽覺、觸覺、味覺、嗅覺等五官感知外界事物時(shí),在一般情況下,彼此不能交錯(cuò);但在特殊情況下,五官功能卻能出現(xiàn)互相轉(zhuǎn)化、彼此溝通的現(xiàn)象叫“通感”,也叫“移覺”。舉幾個(gè)例子來說明:詩人艾青曾寫詩這樣描繪日本著名指揮家小澤征爾:‘你的耳朵在偵察,你的眼睛在傾聽……’這也是通感。又如:“那笛聲里有故鄉(xiāng)綠色平原上青草的香味,有四月的龍眼花的香味,有太陽的光明。”(郭風(fēng)《葉笛》)
三、指導(dǎo)第一段的背誦,點(diǎn)撥理解句意,強(qiáng)調(diào)關(guān)鍵詞語,注重文言基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)教學(xué)。過程中要讓學(xué)生反復(fù)讀背。背誦線索:時(shí)間——地點(diǎn)——事件——人物——環(huán)境——活動(dòng)——天氣——感覺。時(shí)間:永和九年,歲在癸丑,暮春之初。地點(diǎn):會(huì)于會(huì)稽山陰之蘭亭。事件:修稧事也。人物:群賢畢至,少長(zhǎng)咸集。環(huán)境:此地有崇山峻嶺,茂林修竹;又有清流激湍,映帶左右。活動(dòng):引以為流觴曲水,列坐其次。雖無絲竹管弦之盛,一觴一詠,亦足以暢敘幽情。天氣:是日也,天朗氣清,惠風(fēng)和暢。感覺:仰觀宇宙之大,俯察品類之盛,所以極視聽之娛,信可樂也。四、學(xué)生自讀背誦5分鐘。五、抽一至二名學(xué)生試背課文,教師可作必要的線索提示。第二課時(shí)一、聽名家示范朗誦,學(xué)生小聲跟讀。二、復(fù)習(xí)鞏固第一自然段的閱讀背誦。三、朗讀、解析第二自然段,理解文章“由敘入感”的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)。
五.研習(xí)第一段:1.誦讀指導(dǎo)要處理好句中停頓2.請(qǐng)學(xué)生對(duì)照注釋翻譯本段重點(diǎn)詞句:學(xué)不可以已已:停止。青,取之于藍(lán)而青于藍(lán)于:從;比。木直中繩中:zhàng符合,合于。雖有槁暴,不復(fù)挺者,揉使之然也有通又,揉通煣,以火烘木,使其彎曲。然:這樣。翻譯:故木受繩則直,金就礪則利,君子博學(xué)而日參省乎己,則知明而行無過矣。所以木材經(jīng)墨線畫過(再用斧鋸加工)就直了,金屬刀劍拿到磨刀石上(磨過)就鋒利了,君子廣博地學(xué)習(xí)并且每天對(duì)自己檢驗(yàn)反省,就能智慧明達(dá),行為沒有過錯(cuò)了。3.本段是從哪個(gè)角度論述中心論點(diǎn)的?明確:本段是從學(xué)習(xí)的意義這個(gè)角度論述中心論點(diǎn)的。荀子認(rèn)為人的知識(shí)、道德、才能都不是天生成的,而是后天不斷學(xué)習(xí)獲得的,學(xué)習(xí)的意義十分重大,所以學(xué)習(xí)不能停止。4.本段中幾個(gè)比喻句是為了說明什么道理?學(xué)生討論發(fā)言,教師明確:
結(jié)合歷史自古以來,江山美人歷來都是引無數(shù)英雄豪杰競(jìng)折腰的,如果說英雄選擇了美人卻丟了江山,把所有罪名都?xì)w結(jié)于“女人是禍水”。但是,紂王無道,和有了妲己有必然的聯(lián)系嗎?有人說妲己壞透了,壞透了的妲己如果不是取得紂王的信任是壞不起來的,紂王聽信了妲己的讒言,聽與不聽決定權(quán)在紂王,而不在妲己。強(qiáng)勢(shì)永遠(yuǎn)在紂王一邊。再來看看西施和楊貴妃:西施是作為越國(guó)貢獻(xiàn)給吳國(guó)的供品來到吳王夫差的身邊的,楊貴妃更是先是李隆基的兒媳婦被看中而得寵的。所以,西施和楊貴妃這兩個(gè)可憐的女人根本沒有自己的獨(dú)立選擇,沒有獨(dú)立的愛情,如果沒有西施,就會(huì)有南施,或北施;如果沒有楊貴妃,就會(huì)有李貴妃,王貴妃,總之什么施,什么妃是不能少的,因?yàn)槟鞘菂峭鹾屠盥』男枰?/p>
小結(jié)人們對(duì)待祥林嫂這個(gè)“嫁而再寡”的不幸女人態(tài)度:①、魯四老爺?shù)膽B(tài)度:不讓她干祭祀的活(71、73、75、108通過四嬸先后三喊“你放著罷”,殺人不見血地葬送了祥林嫂的性命。而其中尤以最后一次對(duì)其打擊最大)。魯四老爺站在頑固維護(hù)封建宗法制度的立場(chǎng)上,從精神上殘酷地虐殺她。他暗暗地告誡四嬸的那段話,就是置祥林嫂于死地而又不露一絲血痕的軟刀子。②、魯四嬸的態(tài)度:魯四嬸是“大戶人家的太太”,頭一次留祥林嫂是看她能干,祥林嫂被婆家綁架走以后,她害怕給自己家惹麻煩。之后她惦念祥林嫂不是因?yàn)殛P(guān)心她的命運(yùn),而是自己的傭人都沒有祥林嫂那樣可心。以后祥林嫂再來,她“起初還躊躕”,后來倒是真心憐憫祥林嫂,留下她。但是祥林嫂不像過去那樣靈活能干了,四嬸開始“不滿”,進(jìn)而“警告”,最后把祥林嫂趕出家門??梢哉f,四嬸只是把祥林嫂當(dāng)成一件工具罷了,沒有把她當(dāng)人來看。

(1)主人公大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾:大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾是《大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾》中的主人公,曾經(jīng)是個(gè)孤兒。作家描寫了他從孤兒成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)具有人道主義精神的資產(chǎn)階級(jí)民主主義作家的過程。他善良,誠(chéng)摯,聰明,勤奮好學(xué),有自強(qiáng)不息的勇氣、百折不回的毅力和積極進(jìn)取的精神,在逆境中滿懷信心,在順境中加倍努力,終于獲得了事業(yè)上的成功和家庭的幸福。在這個(gè)人物身上寄托著狄更斯的道德理想。(2)《大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾》中的女性形象:在狄更斯筆下,《大衛(wèi)·科波菲爾》塑造了一個(gè)個(gè)有血有肉的人物形象,每個(gè)任務(wù)都給人留下了深刻的印象,尤其是成功塑造了不同性格、不同品德的女性形象:貝西姨婆、艾妮斯、佩葛蒂、克拉拉、朵拉、摩德斯通小姐、米考伯太太、艾米麗……貝西姨婆與摩德斯通小姐的對(duì)比,克拉拉、朵拉與艾妮斯的對(duì)比更使她們栩栩如生,對(duì)貝西姨婆、艾妮斯、佩葛蒂的愛就更深一層,對(duì)摩德斯通小姐更是恨之入骨,對(duì)朵拉、克拉拉既同情又氣憤。

【明確】“一夫當(dāng)關(guān),萬夫莫開”言劍閣有易守難攻的險(xiǎn)要形勢(shì),暗示中央朝廷的部隊(duì)很不容易打進(jìn)來,因而野心家可以據(jù)險(xiǎn)發(fā)動(dòng)叛亂,“化為狼與豺”,搞地方割據(jù)。如果割據(jù)勢(shì)力之間出現(xiàn)矛盾沖突,難免要發(fā)生混戰(zhàn),結(jié)果必定是“殺人如麻”。詩人這番預(yù)言在十多年后就得到了證實(shí):從上元二年到大歷初即有段子璋、徐知道、崔旰等人相繼發(fā)動(dòng)叛亂。詩人的意圖是要嚴(yán)防野心家發(fā)難。詩人從劍閣的險(xiǎn)要引出對(duì)政治形勢(shì)的描寫。他化用西晉張載《劍閣銘》中形勝之地,匪親勿居的語句,目的在于勸人引以為鑒戒,警惕戰(zhàn)亂的發(fā)生,并聯(lián)系當(dāng)時(shí)的社會(huì)背景,揭露了蜀中豺狼的磨牙吮血,殺人如麻,這既是描寫蜀道猛獸,又是影射政治黑暗的雙關(guān)語句,表達(dá)了對(duì)國(guó)事的憂慮與關(guān)切,為詩篇增加了現(xiàn)實(shí)的內(nèi)涵、深厚的意蘊(yùn)。唐天寶初年,太平景象背后正潛伏著危機(jī),后來發(fā)生的安史之亂,證明詩人的憂慮是有現(xiàn)實(shí)意義的。

The topic of this part is “Discover the reasons for festivals and celebrations.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at talking about the experiences and feelings or emotions about the festivals and celebrations. This section aims at detecting the reason why the people celebrate the festivals, the time, the places, the types and the way of celebrations. It also explains why some traditions in the old celebrations are disappearing, like the firecrackers in the big cities and some new things are appearing like the prosperity of business or commerce. 1. Students can talk about what festivals they know and the reasons and the way of celebrating them.2. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.3. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them. 4. Students can have the international awareness about the festivals.1. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.2. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them.Step 1 Lead in---Small talkWhat festival do you like best ? Why ?I like the Spring Festivals because I can set off the fireworks, receive the lucky money and enjoy the Gala with my families.Step 2 Before reading---Pair workWhy do people celebrate different festivals ?The Spring Festivals is to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring and new life.The Mid-autumn Day is to celebrate the harvest and admire the moon.
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.
Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …h(huán)orse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.
