整个说课将分五个方面进行讲述，即教材分析与学生分析；教学手段、方法以及教具；板书设计；教学设计及教材处理思路和每节课的教学过程展示。

1、教材分析：本单元的中心话题是“农业”，学生通过讨论和阅读了解有关农业、农村和农作物种植的内容。

让学生了解农业在整个人类生活中的重要性，了解农村生活，了解中国农民的生活现状，提高他们对农业的认识，并且帮助他们更深刻地理解农业科学家袁隆平的科学研究的价值。

同时让学生了解organic farming 以及它对人们生活的重要性，进一步扩大学生的关于农业方面的词汇量，并通过写一则海报提高学生的写作水平。

1.1 W ARMING-UP 通过提问有关农业、农村和农作物种植的内容，让学生谈谈自己对农村和农业劳动的认识或经验。

教师可通过讨论让学生互相学习，相互交流经验以增加他们的农业知识。

1.2 PRE-READING 部分有两组问题。

在第一组问题中，讨论大米在东亚和东南亚国家人民生活中的重要性；而第二组问题则提出世界部分地区所面临的饥饿问题。

由此激发学生对世界的关注，培养学生的同情心。

1.3 READING 部分介绍中国著名的农业科学家袁隆平的生平和他的杂交水稻。

第一段描述了袁博士的外表——他更象一个农民而不象一个科学家，农村就是他做科研的殿堂。

他的科研成果就是超级杂交水稻。

第二段描述他的家庭出身，学业，献身水稻科研的原因及所取得的成就。

第三段告诉我们袁博士过着跟普通人一样的生活却干着伟大的事业。

即使在功成名就之后，他也淡泊名利, 有着无私奉献的高尚精神。
