课前与研究主题有关的理论学习记载 | 批判性思维被称之为二十一世纪学生接受高等教育和工作准备中所必需的学习和创新技能之一。什么是批判性思维,批判性思维为何重要以及如何发展批判性思维是批判性思维研究领域内的三个主要研究方向。如何将理论中的批判性思维转化为课堂中可见的批判性思维是教师最关注的问题。 高考对阅读、写作能力的要求变化,客观上促使我们要找到一条能提高阅读和写作能力的有效途径。因此,打破传统的单元授课模式,构建“以读促写、以写带读”的课型,在阅读中培养学生的批判性思维能力,对文本进行评价、分析、发表自己的观点,批判性地吸收文本的优点,再运用到自己的写作中去。 | ||||
课后评价活动记载 | 姚丽娟老师:总体上很有新意,内容丰富,有对文本基本内容的梳理,让学生基于文本内容的口头总结评论,对文本写作目的的分析以及评价文本的优劣。在学生的口语输出方面,教师也给出了一些表达模板,很好地起到了脚手架的作用。不足之处在于教师的课堂表达以及活动之间的连接还需要进一步推敲。 吴传娟老师:本节课最大的亮点在最后对于email 3的评价。让学生从内容、语气、用词等讨论email 3是否为一封好的鼓励信。学生经过讨论和思考虽不能完全用英文表达出来,但是大部分学生都有自己的想法并且想要去表达。最后教师给出了自己的两种理解,并和学生共同分享,引发学生思考教师自己的理解是否合理,鼓励学生发表自己的看法,求同存异。

课后与研究主题有关的教学反思 | MIU3 Reading分为三封email,前两封为主人公Amy写给朋友的信,主要阐述了自己因为要减肥服用减肥药导致肝衰竭等身体问题,寻求朋友的安慰。第三封为朋友给 Amy的回信,主要是鼓励Amy 重拾信心并告诫她不要重蹈覆辙。 受到开学初教研员宋老师来开课的启发,我也想在阅读教学中尝试让学生去评判文本内容的优劣,并和学生一起分享自己的观点和看法。因此在原本一般阅读教学的流程中着重添加了赏析、评判的环节。鼓励学生对文本内容发表自己的观点,并分析评判其他同伴以及教师的观点,取其精华,去其糟粕,再结合本单元task板块,最终希望学生学会如何写一封好的鼓励信。 本节课阅读板块主要分为两部分,第一部分基于文本email 1和email 2,让学生阅读文本后总结出主人公Amy减肥的原因reasons, 方法ways,以及结果results。然后引导学生对Amy的减肥过程进行口头评价并给出自己的建议。目的在于培养学生的总结、评判的思维能力以及口语表达能力。 第二部分基于文本email 3,内容为Amy的朋友给Amy 的回信。主要分为三个环节。最终的目的是教会学生如何写一篇鼓励信。第一环节首先是对作者写作目的的思考,从而引起本篇email的体裁an email of encouragement。接着让学生从内容、语气、用词等讨论这封电邮是否是一篇好的鼓励信,并给出一些口语表达的框架,做好脚手架的作用。这个过程主要是为了鼓励学生用批判性的眼光看待阅读文本,激发他们深层次的思考,培养批判性阅读能力。在实际课堂上,效果还是比较满意的。讨论的过程很热烈,学生都很愿意投入到活动中,最后有两个小组发言表达这不是一封很好的鼓励信,并且言之有据。还有两组发言表示是一封好的信,其中有一组的学生完全用英语表达,逻辑思路都比较清晰。 第二环节为教师展示,我也展示了我的看法,首先展示的版本是不同意这是一封好的鼓励信。对于我给出的理由和依据,部分学生表示有道理,也有一部分学生并不认可我的观点。此处产生了思维的碰撞。然而可惜的是因为时间缘故,并没有让不同意的学生解释理由。接下来,我又展示了另外一个版本,这是一封好的鼓励信,并带领学生一起分析我的观点和依据,在分析的过程中,学生不仅看到了一个较好的写作范本,也学会了从哪些角度去评判分析文本,以及评判分析文本需要有理有据。课堂效果表面,学生更倾向与第二个版本,即这是一封好的推荐信。 第三个环节为总结和写作。让学生根据以上内容自己总结出一封好的鼓励信有哪些要点,并课后完成对一个有体重问题的朋友来信的回复。写作后,我还设计了一个同伴评阅环节,让学生根据我列出的要点首先进行同伴互评和打分,让学生们彼此之间先分享和思考彼此的写作存在哪些问题,之后我再进行点评。 本节课总体上的比较顺畅,内容和时间把控都比较到位。学生的课堂反映热烈和参与度也比较高。本节课的教学目的基本达成。不过在一些教学设计的细节之处还有些错误需要调整。活动间的过渡与连接还需要推敲。对于学生的口语表达错误,没有及时关注和指正,自己在表达方面也有欠缺和错误,今后需要多加练习。另外,个人在设计的过程中就感觉Email 1, email 2的阅读过程和email3的阅读过程相互之间的联系不够紧密,看上去像是两个完全不相干的活动,如何将前两封信的内容与最后的写作融合的更好,还需要深入思考和设计。 |
附教案:
Teaching aims:
By the end of the class, students will be able to:
1. Grasp the main idea of the passage
2. Summarize the reasons, results and ways of Amy’s losing weight
3. Make comments on the ways
4. Develop critical thinking ability and express their own ideas
5. Learn how to write an e-mail of encouragement
Teaching procedures:
Step 1: Lead-in
1. Listen to a song
2. What does the title mean? Can you guess the two possible meanings of this title?---(1) The character really wanted/was eager to be thin. (2)…
Step 2: Reading
1. Read Email 1 and 2.
(1) Find out the reasons, ways and results of Amy’s losing weight.
Reasons: 1…2…3.. (subjective, objective)
Ways: 1…2…3… (appropriate, inappropriate)

(2) Task: Make comments on Amy’s ways of losing weight.

In my opinion, _____is appropriate/inappropriate, which may lead to/which is good for....
2. Read E-mail 3
(1) What is the purpose of writing this e-mail?---to give Amy encouragement/comfort
(2) Is it a good email of encouragement? (contents, tone, words she used…)
(The teacher’s opinion:
In my opinion, it is a good email of encouragement. In this e-mail, Zhou Ling encouraged and comforted Amy in many different ways.
For example, in first paragraph, she said “I’m so sorry to hear about your problem”, which showed Zhou Ling’s sympathy on poor Amy.
In second paragraph, Zhou continued to use some sentence to expressed her agreement on Amy’s feelings (You’re right. We shouldn’t be embarrassed about our weight.); encourage her to be more confident (I think you look great as you are, you’re a wonderful person.); express her understanding on Amy’s urge of losing weight (I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an actress.) and mildly, not directly, pointed out Amy’s mistakes and reminded her of not using unhealthy ways to lose weight (However, you mother knows best: nothing is more important than health.)
In the last paragraph, Zhou told Amy it is not a single case but a common problem. Many people suffer from the same problem just like Amy. To some degree, it could comfort Amy and suggested that Amy shouldn’t be ashamed of her behavior before.
In my opinion, it is not a very good email of encouragement. In this e-mail, Zhou Ling talked too much about her feelings on Amy’s problem while she didn’t help Amy analyze the reasons of the problem and give Amy some constructive suggestions. Besides, as Amy’s friend, of course, it is her duty to comfort and encourage her. For example, “I think you look great as you are, and you’re a wonderful person.” But good friends should not only comfort or encourage each other but also point out the mistakes directly of each other. As for me, this letter is too mild to arouse Amy’s attention on her problem.)
(3) Discussion: How to write an email of encouragement?
(4) Task: Write an email to encourage your friend who has weight problems.
Dear Health Expert:
Please help me! I am a fat teenager. My classmates laugh at me a lot, I don’t do sport, and my favorite meal is a hamburger; chips and soft drinks. Is this really such a problem? I don’t enjoy exercise; it makes me tired. Also, I’m hungry all the time and love to eat fast food. What should I do! Do you think I should take some weight-loss pills? What about exercise and food? Please don’t tell me to stop eating!
Best wishes
