Greek Olympic Games

The temple of Hera in Olympia, Elis, Greece

Once every four years, men from all over Greece came to compete in a great

athletic festival in Elis, in western Greece (Women were not allowed to compete). This

was called the Olympic games because the place was called Olympia. It was a religious

festival to honor the Greek gods Zeus and Hera. We don't know when men first began

celebrating the Olympic Games, but they were certainly already doing it in the time of

Homer, by 776 BC. And they were celebrated from then on, every four years without

fail, until people converted to Christianity and the Roman Emperor Theodosius banned

设计思想

设计思想与理论依据

根据教育部颁布的普通高级中学英语新课程标准，基础教育阶段英语课程的目标是以学生语言知识、语言技能、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识的发展为基础，培养学生英语综合语言运用能力。

为更好地实现上述目标，新课程标准倡导任务型的教学模式，让学生在教师的指导下，通过感知、体验、实践、参与和合作等方式，实现任务的目标，感受成功。在学习过程中进行情感和和策略调整，以形成积极的学习态度，促进语言实际运用能力的提高。这就要求教师根据课程的总体目标并结合教学内容，灵活而有创造性地使用教材，设计贴近学生实际的教学活动，吸引和组织他们积极参与，并在此过程中培养发展学生用英语解决实际问题的能力和培养学生的创新精神。

新课程的理念是“为了一切人，为了人的一切；教给学生一生有用的东西；重视精神状态，倡导成功体验；强调个性发展，注重特色教育；让师生与人类崇高精神对话。”

设计特色

该教学设计是根据英语学科课程标准并结合本学科的特点，试图尝试在新课标指导下改善学生的学习方式。通过设计过程性、体验性目标，引导学生主动积极参与、亲身实践、合作研究，从而努力尝试学生学习方式的变革，改变以往单一的记忆、接受、模仿的被动学习方式，发展学生搜集和处理信息的能力、获取新知识的能力、分析和解决问题的能力以及交流与合作的能力。这是该教学设计追求的目标。针对本单元而言，以奥运为话题，遵循教中学，学中用的原则。创设情景让学生发现，体验而提高能力，并让学生结合日常生活来运用语言，使学生学得快乐有效果。

二、 教材分析

1.本单元是以世界性的体育盛会------The olympic games为中心话题，旨在通

过本单元的教学，使学生了解奥运会的起源、宗旨、比赛项目以及古现代奥运会的异同。 了解奥运会在世界范围的影响（全世界人民对举办奥运会充满热情，尤其是中国人民正在为2008年第29届奥运会在中国的顺利举行而作出积极努力。），以及举办奥运会的最高宗旨。学会用英语表达自己的兴趣、爱好以及如何向别人推荐某一种爱好，同时，培养学生对体育运动的爱好，为迎接2008奥运会写下自己的所思所想。学习该单元是对学生进行一次爱国主义教育的洗礼，激发其为祖国而努力学习奋斗。所以能否上好本单元，具有非常重要的意义。
