13. M3U1. Reading—Fog
Fog warning
When Polly left home that morning, the city was already covered in a grey mist. At lunch, the
radio forecast that the mist would become a thick fog in the afternoon. At four o’clock, Polly left
work and stepped out into the fog. She wondered if the buses would still be running.
No buses to King Street
Once out in the street, she walked quickly towards her usual bus stop.
‘How far are you going?’ the bus conductor asked her before he took her fare.
‘King Street,’ said Polly.
‘Sorry, Miss,’ replied the man, ‘the truth is that it is too foggy for the bus to run that far. Take
the Underground to Green Park. The weather might be better there and you might be able to get a
taxi.’
A tall man
As Polly observed the passengers on the train, she had a feeling that she was being watched
《牛津高中英语》Project板块的教学设计和课堂教学之我见
如今的新课程强调的是学生的素质教育，尤其是对能力的培养。所以在英语教学中，牛津英语中的Project部分正体现了这一点。其Project板块的设计既通过研究性学习提高学生的研究能力，又通过运用英语活动提高学生的英语运用能力，体现了“以学生为主；重视个性发展”“优化英语学习方式，培养学生自主学习能力”的教学理念。所以笔者试图从Project板块设计的特点出发，以具体的课堂教学活动为例，对Project板块的教学进行探讨一下：
Project板块的设计特点：
教学目的
Project板块旨在引导学生进行研究型学习，把英语听、说、读、写的训练从课堂内拓展到课堂外，达到学以致用的目的。Project板块首先提供与该单元话题有关的具体阅读材料，让学生从中受到启发，引起用英语开展某一活动的兴趣。然后根据所给的具体步奏，通过小组讨论，分工合作，调查访谈，信息检索，交流汇报等形式的活动，用英语做一件事情，最后呈现学习成果，创造性地完成学习任务，培养综合运用语言的能力。
