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。

MusicTo me，life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert，and listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone's life，whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine，for example，what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings，the moving plot，and the greatest interests，be so exciting or dramatic？I'm not sure about it.Now，we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning-the kind of music we hear in the concert hall.But if we look at some parts of music more closely，we discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea，the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone，in some way or other.And，of course，it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.It is well said，“Through music a child enters into a world of beauty，expresses himself from his heart，feels the joy of doing things alone，learns to take care of others，develops his mind and makes his body strong.”[阅读障碍词]1．plot n. 情节2．dramatic adj.给人深刻印象的3．melody n．旋律[诱思导读]1．What does the writer mainly talk about in the text?[答案]The importance of music.2．What is the third paragraph mainly about?[答案]The benefits of music.Section ⅠListening and Speaking & Reading and Thinking——ComprehendingⅠ.匹配下列单词的词性及汉语意思()1.energy A．n.灵魂；心灵()2.soul B．n.成分；(音乐、艺术、诗歌的)作品()3.virtual C．n.机会；时机()position D．n.能源；能量；精力()5.opportunity E．adj.很接近的；事实上的；虚拟的()6.nowadays F．adv.(用以强调)全部；总共()7.altogether G．n.现象()8.phenomenon H．adj.原来的；独创的；原作的n．原件；原作()9.original I．adj.普通的；平凡的()10.ordinary J．adv.现在；目前[答案]1－5DAEBC6－10JFGHIⅡ.选择下列句中词组的汉语意思A．好几百的，许许多多的B．爱上C．参加，加入D．第一次E．对……感兴趣F．毕业于()1.The first time he saw her，he fell in love withher.()2.They danced and danced until a lot of us joined in.()3.Students often travel hundreds of miles to get here.()4.I graduated from Yale University 5 years ago.()5.House prices are rising for the first time sinceNovember.()6.Of course.If you have interest in it，we will begin tomorrow.[答案]1－6BCAFDE第一步速读——了解文章主题和段落大意速读P52教材课文，选择最佳答案What is the main idea of the text?A．Introduction of the virtual choir.B．Ways to study musical composition.C．Performances on video and the Internet.D．Whitacre's works and performances.[答案] A第二步细读——把控文章关键信息细读P52教材课文，选择最佳答案1．What is needed for you to take part in a virtual choir?A．A studio.B．A local choir.C．A video camera.

Why?For reference: I don’t think the TV organizers were right to call “The Monkees” a band when they did not sing or write their own songs because singing and writing its own songs was the basis of a band.Do you agree that the jokes were more important thanthe music for this band? Give a reason.For reference: Yes. I think it is the jokes that really attract more fans.No. I think the purpose of forming a band is getting people to enjoy the spirit of music.
