英语绘本图文并茂、内容丰富，有助于激发学生的阅读兴趣，培养学生的阅读能力和思维品质。在近期“现代与经典”全国小学英语教学观摩研讨会中，桂婷婷老师执教的绘本课“The Day Without the Morning Call”堪称绘本教学的典范。笔者听后深受启发，现撷取片断与同仁们共赏。

一、封面导读，激发兴趣

1.观察封面，了解背景

【教学赏析】绘本封面含有许多重要信息，如书名、故事背景、主人公等，理解封面有助于学生把握绘本的核心价值。在阅读绘本之前，桂老师引导学生观察绘本封面图片，帮助学生了解故事背景。在此过程中，桂老师适时追问，引导学生关注图片细节，培养学生的读图能力和推理能力。

2.围绕封面，自主提问

【教学回顾】

T:Look at the title.What does“without”mean?

S1:It means no.

T:Right.Is there any morning call on that day?

Ss:No.

T:Look at the title and cover.What do you want to know about the story?You can ask some questions（教师给出疑问词提示）.

S2:Why is everyone sleeping?

S3:Why is the sun unhappy?

T:So you want to know what happened in the story.

S4:Who makes the morning call?

S5:Who is sleeping in the house?

T:So we have the“who”question and the“what”question.

【教学赏析】在学生描述绘本封面后，桂老师将学生的注意力聚焦到“故事眼”without一词上，引导学生根据绘本标题和封面图片自主提问，激发学生的认知需求，培养其分析与质疑能力。接着，桂老师把学生提出的问题归纳为who和what两大类，并在接下来的环节中围绕这两大问题展开教学，使学生从知识的接受者转变为知识的探究者。

二、整体阅读，逐层深入

1.翻看绘本，找出人物

【教学回顾】

T:First,let’s focus on the“who”question.Please go through the picture book quick ly,and find out who are in the story and who makes the morning call.

Ss:（翻看绘本后回答）A donkey/rooster/hen/cow.

T:We know the hen and rooster are chickens.But what’s the difference?

S1:The hen can lay eggs,but the rooster can’t.

T:So the hen is a...（教师挥动自己的长发，启发学生说出girl一词）

S1:Girl,and the rooster is a boy.

T:Good.Who makes the morning call?

Ss:The rooster.

T:How does he make the morning call?Who can show us?

S2:Cock-a-dood le-doo!

T:Does a Chinese rooster call like this?

Ss:No.

T:How does a Chinese rooster call?

S3:喔喔喔！

T:That’s right.So the rooster in the story is from...

Ss:America or England.

【教学赏析】绘本教学中应注重图画与文字的一体性和阅读过程的整体性（张伊娜，2017）。在初读绘本时，桂老师让学生翻看绘本找出故事人物，引导学生通过读文看图构建绘本故事意义，帮助他们从整体上感知绘本。……
