Andross

Section B部分進一步拓寬了本單元的話題內容，不僅探討了如何通過各種活動來減輕壓力，還比較了東西方家長對子女教育的態度和做法。該部分的學習將有利于學生學會換位思考，幫助他們逐步建立正確、積極的生活態度和價值觀。活動1a-1e呈現了一個貼近學生生活的話題:如何面對學習壓力。這部分的聽說訓練的目的在于鞏固前面所學的語言項目，包括描述困難、表達建議等，同時還輸入了新的詞匯和短語。語言知識目標：1) 能掌握以下單詞和短語：member， pressure， compete， 2) 能掌握以下句型：① I think Wei Ming should… ② Although you may be…， you should talk to them.③ Life shouldn’t just be about … 2a-2e是 Section B的閱讀教學部分。2a是讀前活動，主要調查學生的課外生活，與2b的閱讀篇章話題緊密相連。2b-2d為讀中活動，閱讀語篇介紹了一些中國父母和美國父母對孩子們業余活動和課外學習的安排以及想法，各項活動要求學生能夠根據上下文猜測詞義，在理解所讀內容的基礎上總結出中美家庭共同存在的問題，并能用自己的話來闡述文中不同人的觀點和看法。這些閱讀技能的訓練不僅能幫助學生進一步鞏固和內化本單元所學的語言知識，還讓學生通過對比發現和感受中西方文化的異同。時間關系本節課重點在文本的理解，歸納段落大意，幫助學生在大腦總形成該文本的整體框架。語言知識目標：1) 能掌握以下單詞：opinion， skill， typical， football， quick， continue， compare， crazy， push， development， cause， usual2) 能掌握以下短語：cut out， compare…with3) 能掌握以下句子：① Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university.② In some families， competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older.③ They are always comparing them with other children.④ I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids? ⑤ People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.⑥ Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development.⑦ Although it’s normal to want successful children， it’s even more important to have happy children.文章框架分析Main idea: the common problem for Chinese and American families: Children have too many after-school classes， and they are stressed out① Taylors (typical American family): these activities are important for my children’s future. I want them to be successful.② Linda Miller: it’s crazy， it’s unfair. Let kids be kids. People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.③ Dr. Alice Green: kids should have time to relax and think for themselves. It’s more important to have happy children than successful children. 3a-3b是本單元的寫作部分，類似材料作文。學生需要先閱讀材料，了解一些父母關于課外班的觀點，然后表明同意還是不同意，并以此為依據寫一封信闡述自己的觀點和理由。該部分的教學重點是鞏固關于建議的表達，在理解篇章的基礎上進行歸納表述以及自主發表觀點和建議的能力。教學難點在于讓學生在寫作過程中自然合理地運用本單元所學的語言項目。語言知識目標：1) 能掌握以下單詞：perhaps2) 能掌握以下短語：in one’s opinion3) 能掌握以下句子：① It’s good for children to start learning from a young age.② Although many people like to eat junk food， they should really eat more fruit and vegetables so that they can be healthy.③ You should keep trying to talk to her until she talks to you.④ Why don’t you tell him to do something quiet when you’re studying?⑤ You could tell him to turn down the TV.
