Unit 3 Diverse Cultures
Reading and Thinking
一、教材分析与学情分析
1. 教材分析:本节课教学内容的主题语境是人与社会--历史、社会与文化，主题是“一座多元文化之城”。在整个教材中，与各单元是并列和相得益彰的关系（如下表）。

2. 该阅读文本以旅游日记的体裁记叙了中国游客Li Lan在旧金山一天中的所见所闻所感，介绍和描述了旧金山的风景、历史和文化。语言风格上并不是太正式，没有很多长难句，反而用了许多省略句表达情感，所以对于我们高一的同学来说，阅读难度相对不大。重点在于通过绘制时间轴和完成表格梳理文本脉络和作者的感想，难点在于通过细读获取地理、民族、艺术、饮食、历史等文化背景信息来理解和概括旧金山多元文化的成因，并通过讨论分析多元文化的利弊。

Wednesday, 21 June
Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley.I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city-a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings-many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

2.Which do you think Li Lan prefer, nature or the city? Why?

The city. There are many attractions and it is convenient to live in.
3.What impressed Li Lan first about San Francisco?

The beautiful old buildings--many sitting on top of big hills.
IV. Careful reading
My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food. In fact, an art movement called the “Mission School” started here. It’s influenced by graffiti art and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite modern and lively. Afterwards, I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck. A real mix of cultures here!

4.What kind of culture did she discover in the Mission District?

A mix of cultures
A mix of ethnic groups
A mix of food
A mix of art and music
IV. Careful reading
In the afternoon, I headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California. I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco, which started a gold rush. Over 300,000people came from all over the world to seek their fortune, and San Francisco quickly became a big city. Many Chinese arrived during this period. To earn a living, some opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home here.

5.What did Li Lan learn in the local museum?

The _____ of San Francisco ______________,
which also shows _______________________

during the gold rush

IV. Careful reading
This evening, I went to Chinatown. There were so many good cafés and restaurants to choose from. I selected a Cantonese restaurant that served its food on beautiful china plates. What great food!
That’s enough for today. Tomorrow evening, I’m going to a jazz bar in the Richmond District. Can’t wait!

Pleased and proud.
