教学内容分析
本节课为人教版教材八年级英语第七单元Section B的阅读课。单元话题是谈论未来的生活，功能是对未来作出预测，语法目标是能使用一般将来时句型“will do”来描述未来事件。本单元由Section A章节和Section B章节构成。通过学习Section A章节，学生对未来生活进行了预测和讨论，如城市是否会变得更加拥挤、污染是否会更多、人类的寿命是否会更长等，通过大量的话题讨论和语法练习，学生基本掌握了一般将来时的用法。Section B章节进一步聚焦话题，阅读部分探讨机器人的现状和未来发展。 （一）[What]主题意义和主要内容 “Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot ”是一篇说明和议论相结合的文章。文章围绕“机器人”展开，主要介绍了机器人的影视作品形象、现状、是否可能具备思考能力、未来发展等方面。不仅帮助读者全面了解了机器人，而且在“是否可能具备思考能力”这一议题上留白，引发读者的深入思考。 （二）[Why]写作意图 作者通过对机器人多维度的描述，向读者全面介绍了机器人这一概念。在第三段中，作者提出一个重要的伦理性问题：“机器人将来是否会有思考能力？”，虽然文章并未给出确切的回答，但在第四段的最后，作者提出，“一切皆有可能！”，引导读者认真思考机器人未来发展的方向，鼓励读者发挥想象。 [How]文体结构和修辞语言 作为一篇说明和议论相结合的文章，结构清晰，信息丰富，第一段阐述机器人的影视作品形象，第二段阐述当前工厂里的机器人有何功能，第三段介绍人形机器人的发展情况，并提出从“行为”和“思维”两个层面上探究人形机器人的发展，第四段探讨未来机器人发展的方向，主要从形状和功能两个方面切入。作者多次用到“will do”谈论未来事件，在探讨机器人未来发展时，作者使用“will never get bored”，“will never be able to wake up”，“will even be able to talk like humans”，“will have many different shapes”等句式来表达对未来事件的不同预测和观点。
学生情况分析
授课学生是八年级一班的学生： 1. 知识储备：大部分同学不喜欢英语课外阅读，涉猎范围窄；课内知识掌握不牢固，小部分同学基础较弱。 2. 心理特点：部分同学英语学习热情较高，乐于在小组内分享自己的观点。但在全班面前表达自己时，有时还需要老师的鼓励，口头表达能力一般。 3. 话题知识：大部分同学都对机器人有所了解，在影视作品中见过机器人，部分同学在个人生活中接触过机器人（比如扫地机器人）。但大部分同学对机器人的存在可能带来的问题和当前人工智能时代的机器人未来如何发展这两个层面的了解不够深入，甚至未有所思考。
教学目标
在本课学习结束时，学生能够： 获取、梳理并整合机器人的相关信息，包括影视作品形象、现状、思考能力、未来发展等。 结合自身已知，剖析并阐述机器人的价值与意义。 结合人工智能的发展，探讨未来机器人对人类可能带来的好处和坏处。
教学重点和难点
教学重点：梳理整合机器人的相关信息。 教学难点：剖析机器人的价值和意义，探讨未来机器人对人类可能带来的好处和坏处。

Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot
When we watch movies about the future, we sometimes see robots. They are usually like human servants. They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.
Today there are already robots working in factories. They can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, fore example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!
