Unit 2 The Olympic Games第一学时Reading and ComprehensionThe Olympic flagOn the Olympic flag，the rings appear on a white background(背景)．Pierre de Coubertin，the father of the modern Olympic Games，explains the meaning of the flag：“The Olympic flag has a wh ite background，with five interlaced(交织的；交错的)rings in the centre：blue，yellow，black，green and red.This design is symbolic(象征的；象征性的)；it represents(代表；象征) the five continents of the world，united by Olympism，while the six colors are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time.”Combined in this way，the six colors of the flag，(including the white of the background)represent all nations.At the Olympic Games，the flag is brought into the stadium during the opening ceremony (开幕式)．After its arrival，the flag is lifted up the flagpole.It must fly in the stadium during the whole of the Games.When the flag is lowered at the closing ceremony，it means the end of the Games.►Task 1仔细阅读课文“An Interview”，根据课文内容选出最佳答案。

教学设计本节课主题是The Olympic Games，这个主题与学生的实际生活练习较大，学生对这一话题也比较熟悉，主要是让学生简单了解古今奥运会的异同，让学生明白主题奥运会带给人的不仅仅是娱乐健身，还有很多激起热爱祖国的热血沸腾新体验。

这堂课是对课文的阅读理解课型。

在课文理解前，我设置了播放刘翔奥运夺冠的视频环节，然后通过自由谈话，让学生用英语大胆说出自己感受，达到情感教育目的。

设置的第二个环节就是展示图片环节，，激发学生对我国成功举办奥运会的自豪感，调动学生的积极性和爱国热情。

第三个环节就是过渡到Reading部分，开始对课文进行理解。

设置了三个探究任务。

探究一：Get the main idea of the interview..这个任务让学生快速阅读，初步对文章进行理解，理清文章的大致结构。

探究二：让学生对课文更深层次理解，然后完成练习Fill in the blanks.探究三：细致理解。

然后进行小组讨论，讨论对古今奥运会的看法和未来奥运会的预测。

第四个环节就是运用部分。

设置问题：If you have a chance to interview Zhu Ting, What questions you will ask 然后进行小组合作交流，并扮演出来。

然后要求学生自愿到上讲台上展示他们自己编造的采访。

这样培养学生之间合作交流，培养学生的口语，锻炼学生大胆开口说的习惯和勇气，并及时给与学生鼓励和表扬，从而树立学生学习英语的信心。

第五个环节就是Homework. 让学生在理解教材的基础上，根据2020年新高考的要求，让学生课下写一篇简短的Summary.学情分析人教版英语必修二适用于高一第一学期的学生，学生从初中英语课程到高一英语课程会有一个很长的过渡时间。

对于高一第一学期的学生来讲，已经基本熟悉了解高中英语课程与初中英语课程的区别，而且对于这一单元学生也对奥运会有一定的了解。

但是大部分学生的英语基础较薄弱，英语词汇量特别小，而高中英语课本中的文章中，词汇量要求较高，对于学生基础薄弱这一特点，要从一开始就要激发起学生对英语的学习兴趣。

Unit 2 The Olympic Games I. 单元教学目标II. 目标语言III. 教材分析和教材重组1. 教材分析本单元以Olympic Games 为话题，旨在通过本单元教学，使学生了解奥运会的起源、宗旨、古代奥运会与现代奥运会的区别和相似之处以及比赛项目。

同时培养学生对体育运动的爱好。

1.2 Pre-Reading通过学生对三个问题的讨论与交流，使他们了解奥运会有关知识。

1.3 Reading通过古希腊的一位作家到现代社会采访一位中国女孩的方式，介绍奥运会的有关知识，也让学生们了解了古代奥运会和现代奥运会的异同。

1.4 Comprehending是利用表格和问题的形式对文章进行分析，要求同学们找出古代与现代奥运会的异同点以及对文章内容细节的理解。
