Blackboard Design 课前反思：课前反思： 本节课所授课程内容为人教版新目标八年级上册 Unit4 Whats the best movie theater? Grammar Focus 部分形容词、副词
24、最高级板块。主要教学任务 是引导学生通过复习练习已经掌握的形容词及副词的比较级知识过渡到本节课 形容词及副词最高级变化规律知识学习，并最终能灵活运用最高级结构作对比。 本节课是一节语法课，如单纯利用传统的语法讲授方式进行授课，学生一定会感 觉课堂单调枯燥且效率低下。所以我力求结合新课程理念，合理整合课本，化身 导游,将情境设置为和学生一起探讨学校旅行。通过自我介绍, 了解游客, 大美 中国到西安美食（整合课本 3a）,到最后创设“丝绸之路学校旅游” （整合课本 3b，3c）真实情景，引导学生在实际运用过程中学习新知识。我认为这种教学方 式让学生在体验运用中去学习， 可以能更有效地提高课堂效率及
25、学生的学习积极 性。 所以我尽力使我的课堂活动环节设计丰富多样，力求让学生面对每一个任务 时都觉得耳目一新，并最终通过积极参与课堂活动掌握本节课目标知识。我认为 本节课设计的亮点有： 1. 课前出示“Are you ready?”幻灯片并配有英文歌曲。意在培养学生养 成良好的英语学习习惯，并引导学生在轻松愉悦的课堂氛围中投入到课堂学习。 2. 情境创设真实，老师做导游，和学生们一起开启 School trip.整节课堂 6 围绕这一情境开展，学生兴趣盎然。 3注重新旧知识衔接。根据学生已经掌握的第三单元学习的形容词、副词 比较级知识为基础，拓展延伸学习最高级变化规律。另外在很多环节有意识地巩
26、固前期重点词汇，如 outgoing, talented, funny 等等。 4课堂活动以形容词、副词最高级规律变化内容为主线。设计丰富多样， 富有创造性。最大程度地使学生积极广泛参与各项课堂活动。 5任务链层次分明，从简至难。将本节课重难点分了四个环节来突破： I want to know you. China is so amazing. Delicious Food in Xian 和 Travel Plan Along the Silk Road. 6 板书的最终呈现是由学生对最高级规律变化进行了总结归纳。 简单明了， 又检测了学生最高级规律掌握情况。 7. 根据教学内容分析和学情分
27、析，预设了学生本节课易错点并有针对性地 在课堂活动中突出讲解及训练。 8. 通过 I want to know you. China is so amazing 和 Travel Plan Along the Silk Road 等环节渗透情感态度目标。并将本节课情感态度不仅呈现为向身 边榜样学习， 爱我祖国。 也同时提醒孩子们应通过认真思考才能做出明智的选择。 9.作业是根据本节课学习目标分层布置。 课堂环节的 Travel Plan Along the Silk Road 为 A 层次作业充分铺垫。I want to know you.部分为 B 层次作业做 出了铺垫。Delicious Food in Xian 环节为 C 层次作业做好了铺垫。体现了作 业为巩固当堂所学，检验学习效果的功能。
