師:分析得非常到位。大家來看看薛寶釵是怎么說的?薛寶釵的評論:“不像吟月了,月字底下放一個(gè)‘色’字倒還使得,你看句句倒是月色。這也罷了,原來詩從胡說來,再遲幾天就好了?!鄙海ㄗx第三首詩)“精華欲掩料應(yīng)難,影自娟娟魄自寒。一片砧敲千里白,半輪雞唱五更殘。綠蓑江上秋聞笛,紅袖樓頭夜倚欄。博得嫦娥應(yīng)借問,緣何不使永團(tuán)圓!”這首詩語言很樸實(shí),但意境很深遠(yuǎn)。我雖然讀過《紅樓夢》這本書,也看過電視劇,但我閱歷太淺,說不出詩中所包含的深刻內(nèi)涵。師:賈寶玉的評論:“這首不但好,而且新巧有意趣,可知俗語說的‘天下無難事,只怕有心人。2.意識的形式是主觀的意識是人腦對客觀存在的反映,意識是不是僅僅是人腦對客觀存在原原本本的反映呢?“龍、鳳”是中華民族的象征,是炎黃子孫的兩大主要圖騰,但地球上從來就沒有出現(xiàn)過“龍、鳳”,那么“龍、鳳”的觀念又是從何而來的呢?原來,“龍、鳳”的觀念最早產(chǎn)生于原始社會的圖騰崇拜。、

【課件展示】《秦朝中央集權(quán)制度的建立》《教材簡析》《教學(xué)目標(biāo)》《教法簡介》《教學(xué)過程設(shè)計(jì)及特色簡述》【師】本節(jié)內(nèi)容以秦代政治體制和官僚系統(tǒng)的建立為核心內(nèi)容,主要包括秦朝中央集權(quán)制的建立的背景、建立過程及影響。本節(jié)內(nèi)容在整個(gè)單元中起到承前啟后的作用,在整個(gè)模塊中也有相當(dāng)重要的地位。讓學(xué)生了解中國古代中央集權(quán)政治體制的初建對于理解我國古代政治制度的發(fā)展乃至我們今天的政治體制是十分必要的。 本堂課我采用多媒體和講授法及歷史辯論法相結(jié)合,通過巧妙設(shè)計(jì)問題情境,調(diào)動學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)積極性,使學(xué)生主動學(xué)習(xí),探究思考。教師引導(dǎo)和組織學(xué)生采取小組討論、情景體驗(yàn)等方式,達(dá)到教學(xué)目標(biāo)。 本節(jié)內(nèi)容分三個(gè)部分,下面首先看秦朝中央集權(quán)制度建立的前提即秦的統(tǒng)一
二、教學(xué)目標(biāo):1、知識與能力(1)了解我國古代冶金、制瓷、絲織業(yè)發(fā)展的基本情況;(2)了解中國古代手工業(yè)享譽(yù)世界的史實(shí),培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的民族自信心。2、過程與方法(1)通過大量的歷史圖片,指導(dǎo)學(xué)生欣賞一些精湛的手工業(yè)藝術(shù)品,提高學(xué)生探究古代手工業(yè)的興趣;(2)運(yùn)用歷史材料引導(dǎo)學(xué)生歸納古代手工業(yè)產(chǎn)品的基本特征。3、情感態(tài)度與價(jià)值觀:通過本課教學(xué),使學(xué)生充分地感受到我國古代人民的聰明與才智,認(rèn)識到古代許多手工業(yè)品具有較高的藝術(shù)價(jià)值,以及在世界上的領(lǐng)先地位和對世界文明的影響,增強(qiáng)民族自豪感。
由此引導(dǎo)學(xué)生的深思,學(xué)生通過合作探究,幫助學(xué)生認(rèn)識到不注重思想道德修養(yǎng),即使掌握了豐富的科學(xué)知識,也難以避免人格上的缺失,甚至危害社會。進(jìn)而總結(jié)出關(guān)系二:加強(qiáng)思想道德修養(yǎng),能夠促進(jìn)科學(xué)文化修養(yǎng)。科學(xué)文化修養(yǎng)的意義播放感動中國人物徐本禹先進(jìn)事跡短片。學(xué)生觀看完視頻后,思考:從徐本禹的事跡中,我們可以了解到我們加強(qiáng)科學(xué)文化修養(yǎng)的根本意義是什么?引導(dǎo)學(xué)生結(jié)合自身體會,發(fā)表各自見解,在此基礎(chǔ)上幫助學(xué)生總結(jié)出,要使自己的思想道德境界不斷升華,為人民服務(wù)的本領(lǐng)不斷提高,成為一個(gè)真正有知識文化涵養(yǎng)的人,成為一個(gè)脫離低級趣味的人、有益于人民的人。知識點(diǎn)三:追求更高的思想道德目標(biāo)根據(jù)教材110探究活動(思想道德的差異、反應(yīng)人們世界觀、人生觀、價(jià)值觀的差異)思考:用公民的基本道德規(guī)范來衡量這些觀點(diǎn),你贊成哪些觀點(diǎn)?反對哪些觀點(diǎn)?小組進(jìn)行合作探究,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生根據(jù)公民基本道德規(guī)范對這些價(jià)值觀進(jìn)行評析。
1.做學(xué)問之前首先學(xué)會做人2.知識文化修養(yǎng)和思想道德修養(yǎng)的關(guān)系三.追求更高的思想道德目標(biāo)㈤ 說教學(xué)評價(jià)和反思:1.這節(jié)課主要是以學(xué)生為主體,老師為主導(dǎo),讓學(xué)生充分發(fā)表自己的看法,把理論的知識結(jié)合在實(shí)際的日常生活中,鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生充分發(fā)表自己的意見,能調(diào)動學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的積極性,達(dá)到教學(xué)目的。這節(jié)課學(xué)生討論,發(fā)言的機(jī)會很多,但由于我校的學(xué)生的基礎(chǔ)薄弱,在發(fā)言時(shí)難免偏離老師引導(dǎo)的方向,甚至出現(xiàn)毫不相干的說法,由于本人經(jīng)驗(yàn)不夠此時(shí)如何去引導(dǎo)他們可能做的還不夠好。2.新課程的教學(xué),如何突破書本知識的局限,延伸更深層次的內(nèi)容是一個(gè)難題。本節(jié)課在知識的處理上,把道德的重要性與道德的層次兩個(gè)知識點(diǎn)補(bǔ)充了進(jìn)去,目的是讓學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)之前有一個(gè)情感的鋪墊,從而更好地達(dá)到教學(xué)目標(biāo)。
二、教學(xué)目標(biāo):(一)知識與能力:學(xué)生了解夏商周期的政治制度的內(nèi)容和特點(diǎn),對不同的政治制度有一個(gè)較為全面的認(rèn)識。在此基礎(chǔ)上,學(xué)生根據(jù)所學(xué)的知識,歸納和評價(jià)從夏到周政治發(fā)展的特點(diǎn)以及內(nèi)在規(guī)律。(二)過程與方法:在學(xué)習(xí)的過程中,采用小組合作討論的形式,讓學(xué)生學(xué)會與他人合作與溝通,提高自主探究的技能。(三)情感態(tài)度與價(jià)值觀:政治制度的不斷更新是古人制度創(chuàng)新的結(jié)果,而這種制度的不斷更新也推動文明的發(fā)展。這是古代先民的智慧結(jié)晶,學(xué)生要引以為豪。而通過本課的學(xué)習(xí),可以增強(qiáng)學(xué)生們的民族自豪感。三、說教科書:本課作為高中歷史教材的開篇,是認(rèn)識整個(gè)古代政治文明史的起點(diǎn),具有統(tǒng)領(lǐng)和示范作用。本課總共有三個(gè)子目,主要講述了夏商周的政治制度。主要介紹了夏朝公共權(quán)力的出現(xiàn),分封制的內(nèi)容、分封的對象、 “以嫡長子繼承制為核心的宗法制度”介紹了宗法制的來源、內(nèi)容,以及禮樂制度的大致內(nèi)容。
① 實(shí)驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)將學(xué)生分組,利用桌上的器材進(jìn)行探究(幻燈片展示)這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)難度較大,為了降低難度,為實(shí)驗(yàn)探究鋪下第二臺階,要求學(xué)生先分小組討論以下問題(幻燈片展示)有些學(xué)生可能不知如何下手,我會要求學(xué)生先閱讀課本中的實(shí)驗(yàn)描述從中得到一點(diǎn)提示,再讓一兩個(gè)小組同學(xué)回答,這樣既體現(xiàn)了學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的主體性又可提高學(xué)生自主思考和語言表達(dá)能力,之后我再進(jìn)行補(bǔ)充完善(幻燈片展示答案),并用幻燈片把實(shí)驗(yàn)步驟展示出來,在學(xué)生實(shí)驗(yàn)過程一直保留,使學(xué)生能朝正確的方向進(jìn)行猜想和操作,為實(shí)驗(yàn)探究鋪下第三個(gè)臺階。② 實(shí)施探究在學(xué)生分組進(jìn)行探究過程,教師巡視解惑,隨時(shí)觀察學(xué)生情況,解答學(xué)生提出的問題,還可用自言自語方式提示應(yīng)注意的一些問題,如儀器的正確使用,操作的規(guī)范等,幫助學(xué)生盡量在規(guī)定時(shí)間內(nèi)順利完成實(shí)驗(yàn)。
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.
⑦在我看來, 探索太空是值得的。As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.Step 10 Writing---draftRecently, students in our class have had heated a discussion on whether space is worth exploring. Students hold different ideas about it.30% of us think space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life and is a waste of money. And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.On the other hand,70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it,such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more,with further space research,we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day. Also,space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth.As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space. Not only can it promote the development of society but also enrich our life. Step 11 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner. Use this checklist to help your partner revise his/her draft.1.Does the writer explain why he/she changed/wanted to change?2.Does the writer tell how the changes have improved or will improve his/her life?3.Is the text well-organised?4.Does the writer use words and expressions to show similarities and differences?5.Are there any grammar or spelling errors?6.Does the writer use correct punctuation?
Step 4: Listen again and decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).1 It was the first time Chen Liyan's story was reported. T口 F口2 Chen found 10,000 yuan in a small plastic bag in Taiyuan railway station口 F口3 Wang Zheng apologized to Chen because he couldn't offer her more money. T口 F口4 Chen took out a large loan to cure her daughter, T口 F口5 Wang set up a fundraising website for Chen's daughter after Chen told him about her situation. T口 F口Step 5:After listening, discuss the questions.1 What kind of person do you think Chen Liyan is?Chen Liyan is generous and honest because she returned a large sum of money to the owner.2 Did Chen return the money because she didn't need it?No. She returned the money because it was the right thing to do. Evidence for this is that she refused to accept the reward money because she felt that it had not been earned. 3 Is it common for people to do what Chen did?It depends on the culture. In some countries it is quite common to return money that has been found. In other countries, people believe "Finders are keepers!" 4 How did Wang Zheng feel about the return of his money?He must have been very happy and relieved to have gotten his money back. We know this because he thanked Chen repeatedly and even offered her a reward.5 Why did Ma Dongbao tell Wang about Chen's family?He must have had great sympathy for Chen and her daughter and wanted to help them.'We know this because he arranged help for them. 6 How did the news reporter feel about Chen's actions?The news reporter felt that it showed that money wasn't the most important thing in life. We know this because the reporter told us that this is what Chen believes. and then said, “that's a great attitude to take."
4.That was an experience that frightened everyone. →That was _____________________. 答案:1. taking 2. being discussed 3. in the reading room 4. a frightening experienceStep 6 The meaning and function of V-ing as the predicative動詞-ing形式作表語,它通常位于系動詞后面,用以說明主語“是什么”或“怎么樣”一種表示主語的特質(zhì)、特征和狀態(tài), 其作用相當(dāng)于形容詞; 另一種具體說明主語的內(nèi)容, 即主語等同于表語, 兩者可互換。The music they are playing sounds so exciting. 他們演奏的音樂聽起來令人激動。The result is disappointing. 結(jié)果令人失望。Our job is playing all kinds of music. 我們的工作就是演奏各種音樂。Seeing is believing. 眼見為實(shí)。Step 7 Practice1. It is ________(amaze) that the boy is able to solve the problem so quickly.2. Buying a car is simply _______(waste) money. 3.

The _______ thing is how clean Bunol is after the tomatoes are washed away after the fight. this is because the juice form tomatoes is really good for making surfaces clean!答案:1. amazing 2. wasting 3. annoying4. boring interesting taking exciting amazing
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.
The topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences. During the reading part, it introduces the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which can give students a good example to imitate. Students not only learn the festival, but touch and feel the Inner Mongolian’s character, the spirit and cultural atmosphere, which can help students form the cultural awareness and learn to enjoy and value the diversity of Chinese culture.Concretely, the dairy tells the experience that the author spent the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with his/her friend. The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience. Because this part is a travel journal, we must guide students pay more attention to these details: 1. use the first person. 2. use the past tense to tell the past thing and use the present or future tense to describe the scenery. 3. use the timeline to tell the development. 4. be careful for the author’s psychology, emotion and feeling, etc.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information about Naadam Festival.2. Learn the structure of the reading article and language.3. Write an article about a festival experience4. Learn to use the psychology, emotions and feeling in the writing.1. Write an article about a festival experience.2. Use the structure of the reading article and language.

The topic of this part is “Describe a place with distinctive cultural identity”.This section focuses on Chinese culture by introducing Chinatown, whose purpose is to show the relationship between the Chinese culture and American culture. The Chinese culture in Chinatown is an important part of American culture. Chinatown is an important window of spreading Chinese culture and the spirit homeland of oversea Chinese, where foreigners can experience Chinese culture by themselves.Concretely, the title is “Welcome to Chinatown!”, from which we can know that the article aims at introducing Chinatown. The author used the “Introduction--Body Paragraph--Conclusion” to describe the people, language, architecture, business, famous food and drinks and people’s activities, which can be a centre for Chinese culture and shows its unique charm.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information.2. Learn the characteristics of writing and language.3. Learn to introduce your own town according to the text.4. Learn to correct others’ writing.1. Learn the characteristics of writing and language.2. Learn to introduce your own town according to the text.Step 1 Lead in ---Small talkIn the reading part, we mentioned the Chinatown of San Francisco. How much do you know about Chinatown of San Francisco ?Chinatown is a main living place for Chinese immigrants, where you can see many Chinese-style buildings, costumes, operas, restaurants, music and even hear Chinese.Step 2 Before reading ---Predict the contentWhat is the writer’s purpose of writing this text ? How do you know ?From the title(Welcome to Chinatown) and some key words from the text(tourist, visit, visitors, experience), we can know the purpose of the text is to introduce Chinatown and show the relationship between Chinese culture and American culture.
Discuss these questions in groups.Q1: Have you ever been to a place that has a diverse culture ? What do you think about the culture diversity ?One culturally diverse place that I have been to is Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang Province.
