牛津高中英语教学设计

单元：Unit 2 Wish you were here

板块：Word power

Thoughts on the design:

本板块以教会学生扩充词汇的方法、培养学生学习词汇的兴趣和帮助学生扩大词汇量为教学目标。在教学实践中，教师应始终将培养学生词汇学习兴趣和方法放在首位，根据中学生的年龄特点和心理特征，设计一系列由易到难、由单一到综合的教学活动，循序渐进地引导学生在轻松愉快又富有挑战性的氛围中，兴趣盎然地获得学习词汇的方法和最大限度地习得本单元的话题词汇。

Teaching aims:

After learning，the students will know more about adventures and their vocabulary about items for holiday can be greatly enlarged. In addition, the students’interest in learning English can be further stimulated.

Teaching procedures:

Step 1 Lead-in

Show pictures of places of interest in China like the West Lake, the Yellow Mountain, the Great Wall and so on to the class and ask them questions as follows:

1. Do you like traveling?

2. Have you ever been to any of the places?

[Explanation]

通过对中国名胜古迹的图片浏览，激发学生对祖国大好河山的热爱，并唤起学生强烈的求知欲望和学习热情，寓教于乐。

Step 2 Warming up

Ask the Ss to discuss the following question：

Suppose you are given a chance to choose one of the places for your holiday, where would you like to go? What kind of things will you plan to take with you?

Then divide the whole class into 4 or 5 teams and ask them to compete with each other for more answers. Write down their answers on the blackboard. Afterwards, show pictures of the items that are often packed by people for their holiday.

[Explanation]

这个比赛环节的设计既是为了促进学生的快速思维，又让他们对以前学过的相关词汇作一个回顾。同时，游戏常常能很大程度地活跃课堂气氛，起到很好的“热身”作用。

Step3 Pre-reading

Show the question below on the screen and get the whole class to think about the answer.

What do you think is the most important when you are traveling in a different world? (Possible answer—to meet different people; to eat different food; to know different culture; to experience a different way of life; to keep happy; to make sure of safety; to broaden our horizon.) [Explanation]

对于旅行中重要问题的思考可为进一步的相关词汇学习作铺垫。

Step4 Reading

1. In order to broaden his horizon, Colin decides to go on an adventure holiday. Now he is

thinking about what to pack for it. Please read the short passage in Part A and complete the

the Ss will have a clear idea of them.

[Explanation]

表格形式使得阅读任务更加清晰，有助于学生训练扫读能力，并帮助学生提高对所学词汇语义层面的掌握。

Step 5 Vocabulary-learning

All of the things mentioned are necessary for Colin’s adventure. In order to make his holiday comfortable, safe and happy, Colin has also packed something else. Let’s find what they are. Show the picture in Part B on the screen and talk about all the items and their usage with the whole class. Pay attention to Ss’ pronunciation of these words at the same time.

After that, ask the Ss to have a discussion in groups about which item would be the most useful for Colin and give the answer in the following sentence pattern:

If I were Colin, I would never forget to pack_______, because I could use it to_____________. [Explanation]

借助图片进行词汇教学，能达到比较直观的效果。学生比较容易接受，也能学得更轻松些。句型操练可以帮助学生加深记忆以巩固所学词汇。

Step 6 Vocabulary extension

Now do you think Colin is well equipped for his journey? Is he missing something really important? As his friend, Jennifer wrote an e-mail to him, reminding all the things that he should take to make his trip more enjoyable.

Allow the Ss 5 minutes or so to complete the e-mail individually.

Then, ask the Ss to recall the items that Jennifer advised Colin to take in the following way: 1．Show the picture with 8 “GUESS” on the screen, and then display all the items by clicking the 8 “GUESS” one by one.
