24、，结合常规教学进行摸索探究。这是六年级下学期绘本内容，内容量大，生词多。对于农村的孩子来说还是有很大难度的。课前，我利用微视频，让学生提前预习，通过借助图片联系上下文猜测意思、让学生在心中先形成一个大体的脉络；课上播放每种动物活动的视频， 增强学生的学习兴趣； 让学生模仿动作， 活跃气氛； 小组讨论，解决生词，提炼关键词句，掌握课文大体意思。通过跟读录音，培养学生的语感；完成思维导图练习，帮助学生一起拼凑出完整的符合逻辑的故事；最后播放保护动物宣传片，对学生进行情感教育。但在教学中发现，由于故事较难，学生不容易快速提取信息；生词量大，造成对绘本整体理解不够； 活动设计单调，调动学生思维不够。所以在以后的教学实践中，我还要不断摸索探究，尽量将英语绘本与日常英语教学相结合，着力培养学生“爱阅读，会阅读，能阅读”，使他们体验和享受阅读愉悦，全面提升学生的英语阅读水平能力。howleat claybe active at nightmove slowlya long billeat anteatersCatch howler monkeys
