Unit4Earthquake教案

1、Unit4 Earthquake1. 教材分析本單元以地震為中心話題 ，介紹了地震這一自然現(xiàn)象，使大家對地震的起 因、前兆、危害及如何在震中自救等有了較全面的了解。各項語言活動主要圍繞這個中心內(nèi)容對人，事，物進行了描述。這些練習內(nèi)容讓學生思考如何去避免地 震或至少是避免太多的損失。即對于災難要有正確的認識，要用積極的態(tài)度來對 待它。1.1 Warmi ng-up用唐山和舊金山的兩幅圖片導入本單元，旨在讓學生運用有關知識去描述所見圖片，并發(fā)揮想象力來描述震后這兩個城市的情景。帶著疑問去學新知識，來完善自己對地震的認識。另一方面，它也為學生提供了功能項 目、短語詞匯、和語法知識方面的練習。1.2

2、Pre-reading是Warming-up的延續(xù)。它由對圖片的想象轉(zhuǎn)入到經(jīng)歷地震的 想象中。由兩個問題組成。第一個問題其目的是提高學生在危急關頭的應變能力， 第二個問題旨在培養(yǎng)學生對周圍事物的觀察能力，并結合圖片培養(yǎng)學生運用語言 的能力，也對課文內(nèi)容作了伏筆。1.3 Reading從內(nèi)容來看，它包含了地震的方方面面；從功能項目來看，它 包含了本單元大部分的詞匯和語法內(nèi)容，為下一步的語言運用做好了準備。這是 一篇新聞報道，記述了唐山地震的前兆，經(jīng)過，危害及救援工作。整篇文章語言 生動，扣人心弦，能讓人感到地震的可怕性，也能感到政府對災區(qū)人民的關懷。體現(xiàn)出了人類在自然災害面前的脆弱和戰(zhàn)勝困難時體

3、現(xiàn)出來的集體主義精神。同時也讓學生對災難臨頭時如何自救等知識有所了解。1.4 Comprehe ndi ng 是對目標語言的全面練習，也指導了學生的學習方法 和步驟。它要求學生從字、詞、句、語段總體上去把握課文內(nèi)容。The First PeriodReading ( I )Teach ing goals 教學目標1.
