B2U5 Music - Reading and Thinking 教学设计
文本解析
本单元的阅读课文“THE VIRTUAL CHOIR”对一种新的音乐形式—虚拟合唱团及其创始人Eric Whitacre进行了介绍。
从阅读层面上来看，文本以说明为主，叙事为辅，共分为四段。第一段引出文章焦点，即与互联网结合的音乐形式“虚拟合唱团”。此段介绍了组成虚拟合唱团的关键要素，即who, where, what, how, why。此段第一句"Imagine having the opportunity to…"，邀请读者去设想，去体会，这种表达手法是作者吸引读者的有效手段。第二、三段按时间顺序介绍了虚拟合唱团的创始人，内容包括出生年月、出生地点、求学经历、初始阶段取得的成就，以及后来创立虚拟合唱团的情况等。第四段用一句话总结了虚拟合唱团的作用和意义。
在进行文本教学设计时，需要帮助学生理解虚拟合唱团是怎么组织的，它的本质是什么；引导学生分析并理解文章的篇章结构，正确运用寻读策略，帮助学生理解文本。

五、课后反思
本次开课是阅读课的常规教学，不足之处有如下几点：
1. Lead-in：读前活动是阅读课开始前的热身，我所设计的导入有点平淡，没有很好地引起学生的兴趣。学生在表达时候句式很单一，这时应该引导学生出现不同的表达, 提高课堂的有效性。
2. Reading：第一段介绍了组成虚拟合唱团的关键要素，可以让学生去总结作者是从哪几方面去解释定义。第二段，介绍虚拟合唱团的创始人，内容包括出生年月、出生地点、求学经历、初始阶段取得的成就，让学生思考，为什么这些时间跟事件如此重要？为以后的应用文写作打下基础。在阅读教学中，设问方式应该改成高考阅读题型的设问，在提问过程中，让学生进行头脑风暴，将更多的时间留给学生。
3. Summary：应该让学生主动构建信息结构图，依据自己对文本信息和信息之间的逻辑关系的理解，梳理和呈现信息，然后运用文本中的语言进行口头汇报。
4. Thinking：多给学生空间，让学生谈一谈虚拟合唱团的看法与观点，训练学生的语言组织能力和逻辑思维能力。
