北师大版高一Unit3CelebrationLesson1Festivals教学设计北师大版高一Unit 3 Celebration Lesson 1 Festivals教学设计一. 教材分析1．本课在本单元的地位和作用：本单元的主题为festival“节日”, 主要介绍中外国家的一些主要的节日和节日的庆祝活动.通过本课的学习，学生能够了解一些我们国家和西方的主要节日和活动,熟悉并掌握在谈论这些节日时需要的话题和重要词汇及短语,最后通过自主学习和合作学习实现用英语简单的介绍一个主要节日.这样就为后几课在语言知识和语言技能上做好了铺垫.2．教学目标分析：本文文章结构非常简洁明了,分别描述了中国的三个传统节日:中秋节, 元宵节和端午节和西方比较重要的两个节日：圣诞节和万圣节。

由于本文是单元导读课, 因此学生通过听、说、读、写等一系列活动掌握并运用所学语言知识是本文的重点.根据新课标中强调“要注重提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力”这一要求,结合教学内容和学生特点及实际情况, 我就把最终的语言输出设置为:创造一个新的节日：学生节。

二. 学生分析由于我们的学生学习水平参差不齐,而且基础较差，因此在设计学生活动时要考虑到不同层次学生的具体情况和不同需求.因此,我在教学中设置了不同层次的问题，设定了不同层次的目标,如: A层同学介绍节日时选三个话题讨论,B 层同学选四个话题讨论,C层即最高级选五个以上话题进行介绍.这样就满足不同学生的发展要求,这也是新课标所倡导的.三．教学目标1）学会用英语简单介绍中西方的节日。

2）进一步了解我国的一些主要的节日及其相关的历史源源，从而尊重传统文化，增强爱国主义精神。

3）发挥团队合作精神，创作学生节海报。

4）通过文化的了解，增强爱国主义精神和民族自豪感，提高对中外文化异同的敏感性和鉴别能力，为跨文化交际能力打下基础。

重点与难点：1）如何让学生在阅读活动中获取信息，理解全文。
