本课是对著名影星奥黛丽·赫本的生平介绍的一节阅读课,要求掌握其生平及主要作品,并学会对著名人物生平描述的方法。着重培养学生从短文中搜集有用信息的能力,使其能够按照正确的时间顺序排列标题,并且根据阅读文章识别陈述是否正确。但我在备课时将课文的时间顺序作以处理,不直接进入课文,而是让学生先通过多媒体看电影“Roman Holiday” (罗马假日),并向学生提出下列预设好的具有导向性的问题:
T(教师): Who is the lead role of this film?
SA(学生A): A young princess.
T: Who played the young princess in this film?
SB: Audrey Hepburn.
T: How much do you know anything about her?
SC:A Hollywood film superstar.
T: Anything else?
SD: A beautiful actress.
紧接着教师让学生听这段有关奥黛丽·赫本的课文,问:
T: What film made Audrey Hepburn become famous instantly?
SE: Roman Holiday.
T: What did she win for her role in this film?
SF: An Oscar for Best Actress.
T: How many Oscar nominations did she earn during her lifetime?
SG: Four more.
T: What did she want to remind people in her only one TV series,Gardens of the world with Audrey Hepburn?
SH: She wanted to remind us that we should protect the environment.
T: What was Audrey Hepburns greatest achievement?
SI: Her efforts in charity.
T: Why do people remember her as a great humanitarian?
SJ: Because she devoted much of her time to charity.
T: How did Audrey Hepburn die?
SK: She passed away,peacefully,in her sleep.
简短的一段对话,使学生不只囿于课文叙述的故事中,而是走出了“罗马假日”,进入了这位美丽天使的一个个活生生的真实生活情景中。紧接着是对文章重点句子的理解与复述,然后教师说:“Lets go deep to know the angel well.(让我们再深入了解这位天使吧!)”于是,又把学生拉回到那位美丽又富有爱心的奥黛丽·赫本的生活世界中去。教师抓住这一时机顺水推舟让学生观看因为她对慈善事业的全心倾注而被授予The Presidential Metal of Freedom(总统自由勋章)的镜头,深深地打动了学生并使其产生了强烈的心灵震撼与情感共鸣。这一环节是教师备课时着意对教材更深层的挖掘。再回过头来让学生自由谈论课文中相关的四幅奥黛丽·赫本剧照(一幅为她努力投入芭蕾舞训练;一幅为她就是天使;一幅为她倡导保护环境;一幅为她倾心慈善事业。)
这堂课到此应该接近尾声了,在教学环节上该做的也都做了。但……
