The Three GorgesDam教学设计与课后反思
这是一堂自然朴实、放松真实、生动充实的课程,这是我的风格。在去莱西之前我就想,学生我也没有见过,不可能引导学生提前做点什么,而且学生水平如何?我应该带怎样的课和莱西的同行交流呢?我不是表演型的老师,我的温和风格能得到大家的认可吗?我怎么做才能体现学校的水平,青岛市的水平?在思量之后,我作出如下设计:

Step 5 Extended reading
The Aswan Dam
The British began construction of the first dam across the RiverNile in Egypt in 1898. Construction lasted until 1902, and the damwas opened on 10 December 1902. The project was designed bySir William Willcocksand involved several excellentengineers.
With the help of the Russian experts, the dam was officiallystarted in 1967 and completed in 1970 to control flooding andprovide electricity.
The Aswan High Dam is 3,900 meters long, 980 meters wide at thebase, 40 meters wide at the top and 111 meters tall.
The High Dam has resulted in protection from floods and droughts, an increase in agricultural production andemployment, electricity production and improved navigation(海上交通)that benefits tourism. Conversely(相反地), the dam flooded a largearea, causing the relocation of over 100,000 people and submergedarchaeological/historic sites, some of which were relocated aswell. Many species are dying out, resulting in the imbalance ofnature.
The dam benefits the people a lot; meanwhile, the dam affectspeople’s life. In your opinion, which side do you standby?
The ItapuDam
The Itapu Dam is located on the Parana River at theBrazilian-Paraguayan border. On April, 26, 1973, the twogovernments of the states signed a treaty "for the development ofthe hydroelectric resources of the Parana River" and founded"ITAIPU Binational" (a cooperation with the legal, administrativeand financial capacities and technical responsibility to plan, setup and operate the plant) in May, 17, 1974.
The construction work started in 1975. The heightof the dam reaches 197 m, its length 7.76 km. The lake created bythis is 170 km long and contains 29 billion tons ofwater.
Unit 1 started to operate in December 1983. Electrical connectionto Paraguay was established in March 1984, Brazil was connected 5months later. In March 1991 the last unit (No.18) was put intooperation. Therefore, the economy developed quickly. Besides, thedam controls the flood every year and reduces the air pollutionfrom the coal heating. People benefit a lot from it.
About 40,000 families had to remove because of the dam, and largeareas of rain forest were destroyed, causing a great many speciesto die out.
Every coin has two sides. The advantages and disadvantages arestill under debate now.

课后反思:
上完课后,从领导、老师、同行的眼神中,我看到了认可;从学生的掌声中,我感受到了欢迎。我又一次体会到教学能手评比课中那种自信那种超越。在这堂课中,我自认为这堂课的亮点在于:
1. 在smalltalk中拉近学生的距离。在莱西,我见到了我的研究生同学,我们已经7年没有见面;在莱西我见到了和我一起赴加学习的同学,那段时光我终生难忘。在莱西他乡遇故知的感觉令人兴奋,令人激动,我觉得莱西特别亲切。在莱西,我遇到最优秀的学生,能和最优秀的学生合作教学是值得庆幸的一件事。学生被我夸的美滋滋的,脸上挂着微笑。我要求学生把掌声送给我,因为今天我是客人;把掌声送给自己,因为他们会表现地非常优秀,鼓励自己大胆积极踊跃地发言。在掌声中,我们一起总进“三峡大坝”。
2. 每一个环节过渡自然。这是这么多年来,在各位师傅的指导下,我慢慢锻炼打造出来的。
1)用视频导入课程,形象直观。
2)在进入第二环节match activity 之后,不仅处理和课文相关的信息,同时拓展日常知识,比如毛泽东诗词,三峡大坝的长、宽、高;三峡的水电输送到湖北、湖南等地区,大坝的优缺点(采用包干分组讨论的形式)等等诸如此类的相关信息。学生的能量是无穷的,我在黑板上板书,无论对错,我都记在黑板上,算是对学生的鼓励,他们“优点组/缺点组”竞争激烈,甚是热闹。告诉大家一个小秘密,其实,这个过程是有窍门的。我把我想要的答案在巡视的过程中都告诉了学生,所以才有黑板上那么完整那么精彩的答案。
3)在处理完三峡大坝的相关内容后,把这种方法迁移到另外两篇阅读中。“我们刚才了解了中国最长的大坝,世界上最长的是什么大坝?世界上最长的河是什么河?这条河上有什么大坝?”于是导入了下一个环节—拓展阅读theAswan Dam和the Itapu Dam。
4)处理完两篇阅读后,我再次设计另一个话题,“由于科技的发展进步,我们的国家、世界都发生了巨大变化,就像大坝一样,这就是科技发展的见证。那么,现在我们考虑一下,青岛、莱西都发生什么变化?”学生们暂停思考片刻,慢慢议论起来,我把最后的一张PPT打开,学生们见到了非常亲切的跨海大桥(baybridge)、海底隧道(subsea tunnel/channel)、建设中的地铁(subway underconstruction)和莱西月湖公园(moonlake)。当学生们说到月湖公园的时候,我顺便要求他们当我的导游,全班同学热情地答应下来。借此机会,我稍微介绍月湖的历史。我问,“月湖是哪年建成的。”学生竟然不知道,其实也在情理之中。“1984年。要想给我做好导游,你们就得回家好好查阅这方面的资料,了解历史了解文化—这也是作业布置环节。”学生们大笑。在学生老师的欢声笑语中,我结束了课程。最后,我感谢学生的出色表现和配合,感谢同行百忙之中来听课,欢迎他们的宝贵意见。
3. 目标明确,环环相扣。
知识目标—阅读三峡大坝的相关材料,会介绍三峡大坝。
技能目标—将阅读课文三峡大坝的能力迁移到阅读同等类型的材料中。
德育目标—在阅读中,体会世界、国家、家乡变迁,感受社会变化,激发热爱祖国、热爱家乡的情感。
4. 使多媒体为教学服务。
自从有了多媒体之后,教学的变化突飞猛进。在促进教学的同时,也给教学带来很多不便。有些教师设计了很多PPT,这张讲完了下张是什么都不知道,要记住也得花费很多时间。在课堂上一旦出现问题,找起来也很麻烦。还有的老师为了操作电脑,不得不站在电脑旁边,不能及时走近学生,和学生互动。在几次设计课中,我都设计得简简单单,去掉片头课题名称和片尾感谢,最多不超过10张幻灯片。这使得我在课堂上能自由发挥,使多媒体服务于教学而不是牵制教学。提醒大家,不要得“多媒体依赖症”。
5. 灵活应对课堂突发事件。
1)在导课过程中,我问及视频的内容,但学生说不知道,我顺势下台阶,“你们太专注于课文,而没有看视频,是吗?”学生点头。“那我们再看一遍。”
2)看完视频后,学生知道本课要学习三峡大坝,但却不会用英语表达,没有关系,我教他们。
3)在收集大坝的优缺点时,我不知学生的情况如何,我就到每个小组了解情况,然后引导启发,让他们把我想要的答案提前准备好,这样在公开回答问题时就会很顺利,不会出现偏差。
4)在处理the Aswan Dam 和the ItapuDam的信息时,我边听边记边加工处理,针对于学生的回答我能说点什么。思想一开小差,学生还没有说完,我就叫下一个同学来回答。学生提醒我,我不好意思地说,“你们表现得都太优秀了,我迫不及待地想听听下一位同学的观点,我想听听你们所有人的观点。”于是,我又回来,重新处理这位同学的观点。
5)看到PPT上的海湾大桥,海底隧道,建设中的地铁,学生很兴奋,他们用汉语说着,没关系,我来教大家。
不要以为学生在课堂上什么都会,不要以为学生什么都会回答“Yes”,上课过程中学生的反应会多种多样,那就要求老师在备课时,就把这些情况预想到,如果学生不会怎么办?如果学生答“No怎么办?多准备几种预案,在上课的时候就会应对自如。上课过程中,老师也会出现很多失误,老师也会出现偏差,要沉着应对,要学会幽默,使学生在轻松自在的课堂环境中学习。
不足点:
在课堂处理过程中课本的挖掘需要更细腻一些;一些措辞需要继续揣摩;时间把握上面更从容一些(我删去了Interview的环节)。
结束语
自信让花朵静静绽放。我是一名普通的英语教师,我也走过弯路,也遇到挫折,也遭遇低谷,但我坚持做自己,我努力,我勤奋,我钻研,我坚持,我执着,最后我哭着笑了。
最后感谢所有给我帮助的人,你们的帮助使我感到温暖不孤单,你们的帮助使我走得更踏实更顺利。
