2013年教学设计高中英语科Unit 4 Earthquakes— Warming up & Reading教学设计一、教学内容简析：本课的内容是人教版高中英语必修1 Unit 4 Earthquakes中的Reading阅读理解部分，包括Warming up, Pre-reading,阅读理解课文A Night the Earth Didn’t Sleep和Comprehending内容在内。

Warming up部分提供了唐山地震和美国旧金山地震的两幅图片，要求学生描述地震对这两个城市造成的危害并展开讨论。

Pre-reading部分提供了地震前兆的图片，让学生了解地震前动物和自然界奇特的异常变化。

阅读课文A Night the Earth Didn’t Sleep是一篇新闻报道类记叙文，叙述了唐山大地震前夕的“怪现象”、地震造成的损失及震后的救援情况。

Comprehending部分设置了些练习，主要是帮助学生更好地理解课文内容，培养学生整体把握文章的能力。

二、学习者分析本单元的话题是“地震基础知识（basic knowledge about earth quakes）”和“遇到灾难时如何自救以及帮助他人（how to protect oneself and help others in disaster）”。

具体涉及地震的成因、预兆、地震造成的损失、地震时的应急救生以及震后的救援等内容，对于高一学生来说要完成这些内容的学习也并非是一件易事。

目前，学生上课以interpersonal的交流为主，而interpretative和presentational形式比重不够均衡。

由于文化教学不够重视，学生的跨文化意识不高。

此外，学生跨学科学习的意识不够，语言和信息的双向促进关系的认识不足。

对于比较策略主要运用在英汉汉英互译的语言层面，未进入文化比较和思维比较。

学生的课外语言活动环境不够丰富和重视程度不高，通常以词汇、语法等练习为主，缺乏真实的语言运用。

高中英语（人教版）必修一第四单元教案Unit 4 Earthquake一．教学内容分析本单元话题为"地震"，主要描写了1976年唐山大地震，各项语言活动也都是围绕地震展开。

本单元共分八个部分。

Warming-up 部分通过两张图片引出话题"一旦地震发生，将会造成怎样的危害"，为后面的主题作了一个热身运动。

Pre-reading 部分设置了两个开放性问题，目的是增加学生的生活常识，提高他们的应变能力。

这部分为接下来的阅读作了很好的铺垫，学生可通过套乱，参阅有关地震的书籍并运用一些生活常识来回答这两个问题。

Reading 部分具体描写了1976年唐山大地震的震前、震中和震后。

作者详细描述了地震来临前的一些不正常的自然现象及动物的反常表现；地震的来势汹汹并在顷刻间将整座城市夷为平地；震后人们勇敢面对现实并及时实施抢救和重建工作。

Comprehending 部分包括三组练习，主要目的是为了帮助学生更好地理解Reading部分的文章。

Learning about Language 部分分为两个部分：Discovering useful words and expressions 和Discovering useful structures.第一部分要求学生在把握文章的基础上，掌握重点词汇的词义及时用，这更注重培养学生运用上下文猜测词义的能力。

其次还对一些复杂的数字读法进行了检测。

第二部分则结合文章学习定语从句。

Using Language 部分分为Reading，Writing and Speaking；Listening和Writing。

Reading，Speaking 包括读一篇邀请函，写一份演讲稿和关于一套新唐山邮票的Little talk。

Listening 部分讲述了一位地震幸存者的故事，并根据听力材料进行正误判断和回答问题，旨在培养学生获取细节的能力，并通过听来模仿标准的语音和语调。
