Unit 5 Nelson Mandela——a modern hero教材分析:本单元以 Nelson Mandela —— a modern hero 为话题,目的在于使学生了解一个伟大的人应具备怎样的品质,学会表达自己的观点,并用所学的句型来描写一个伟人。
提示:1、本单元从warm-up开始,到最后的writing,都是以第三人称的角度来进行描述的,因此,教学中要注意这种人称的前后一致,否则无法前后一致的引导学生进行学习和表达。
2、Reading部分侧重于理解,以及理解基础上的summary,这为最后的writing做好的铺垫和积累(尤其是关键单词、句型和结构的积累),最后的writing要是前面阅读后的仿写(当然能力较强的学生也可以不受限制的开展写作)。
3、如何激发学生学习关于这些伟人的文章,是需要教师思考的:这些伟人学生会感兴趣吗?学生了解多少关于这几位伟人的伟大业绩?从哪些角度来导入会让学生更加的感兴趣?4、教学目标建议增加:通过学习文章和相关素材,进一步了解伟人的生平事迹,尤其是如何才能成为伟人。
培养学生初步使用相关词汇、句型和文章结构进行人物生平描述的口语表达和基础写作能力。
