高中英语必修二unit5 music说课稿
高中英语必修二unit5 music说课稿 各位老师：大家好！ 作为一名新课标下的英语老师，让学生愉快地、充满自信地走进我的英语课堂，是我最大的愿望，让学生在我的英语课堂上享受快乐和成功是我孜孜以求的。多年来，我为实现自己的梦想和追求不懈地努力着。今天，借此平台，希望各位老师指导我的说课，是我更加自信的完成老师的使命。 一、说教材内容和学情 我说课的内容选自人教版普通高中课程标准实验教科书英语必修二第五单元。本单元的话题是Music，它是中学生日常生活中比较感兴趣的话题之一。它中心话题是“音乐”和“音乐类型”，单元的各项活动的设计都是围绕着以音乐类型和不同音乐对人的影响展开的。而对于音乐和音乐家，这种学生感兴趣的话题、与切身相关的情节，很容易就会引起学生们的极大兴趣，因此他们学习的参与性和积极性也会较高。在引导学生阅读前，让学生对不同种类的音乐的英文说法加以熟悉和理解，开阔的学生的视野。而在阅读后，结合现在学生中普遍存在的“选秀热”这一热点问题，引发学生的反思。 我的教学对象是高一学生。高中生思想逐渐成熟，对美的追求和对成功的渴望也越来越强烈，因此课堂中除了关注语言知识学习和语言技能训练外,更应该注重其内心的理解和个人对事物的看法。 二、三维教学目标 根据《新课程标准》关于总目标的具体描述，结合高一学生实际，我把教学目标设定为以下几个方面： （一）知识目标和能力目标 学习一些相关的单词、短语和句式,特别是关于音乐种类的词汇和表达对音乐感受的词。比如：动词prefer,feel,enjoy,appreciate,find.calm,形容词 relaxed,sleepy,cheerful,energetic,lively。能用英语表达建议、偏好和爱好。 学生熟悉掌握不同的音乐类型。学会灵活运用课文中的句式，自如的表达自己对音乐的理解和感受，并且从更深一层上去把握不同音乐所表达的不同意义。 （二）情感态度 1.熟悉各种音乐形式，了解音乐在人们生活中的重要性，提高音乐修养 2.从谈论“音乐人的成功”入手使学生了解到做什么事都需要付出艰辛的努力。所谓“台上一分钟，台下十年功”，深化学生的德育教育，进一步激发学生学习的动力。 3.通过开展小组活动，指导学生积极与人合作，相互学习，相互帮助，培养其团队精神。（三）学习策略 学生在一定程度上形成自主学习，利用所教句型和所学知识积极与同学进行真实交流，提高交际策略，培养学生的英语思维表达能力。 三、说教学目标和教学重难点 这一课的重点有两点： 1.新课标要求在语言教学的同时必须能够深化学生的德育教育。因此，如何调动学生的积极性，使学生理解成功来之不易本课的重点之一。在教学过程中教师利用多媒体视频介绍音乐人经过多年的准备和磨练终于取的成功的例子启发学生思考自己的人生：要想拥有美好的人

A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.

He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

Unit 5 Music The band that wasn’t Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan To be honest, a lot of people a ttach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someone’s house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themse lves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are pa id in cash. Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires! However, there was one band that started in a different way. It was called the Monke es and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other a s well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organi zers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band. As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other music ians to help them. So during the broadcasts they just pretended to their perfor mances were humourous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV, the Monkeeswould play and sing songs written by other ,after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing the ir own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started tou ring and playing their own music. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records. The band broke up about 1970, but happily they reunited in the mi d-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, with which they celebrated their form er time as a real band.
