课后反思
本节 Reading and Thinking读思课，故事性强，理解难度不大，课堂设计读前由话题相关的图片和视频引入，激发了学生学习兴趣和探索欲望，让学生对阅读内容形成期待。读中环节学生快速浏览文本，获取篇章结构和主旨大意信息；对于细节的挖掘，主要把握两条线索，即情节线（故事线）和情感线，更好地梳理了文本信息，也为下一步故事情节的预测埋下伏笔。这个过程问题设计合理，难度递进，绝大多数学生能力具备可以进行读中思考和问题解答。读后设置了开放性问题，以讨论和辩论的形式展开，目的是培养和提高学生思维的敏捷性、灵活性、批判性和创造性，突出主题意义的探究，但是基于学生自身知识面的因素，部分学生不能完全投入课堂，尤其辩论环节在组织思想之后不能脱稿表达，鉴于此，以后的教学要在重视词汇学习的同时，培养学生文化意识和即兴表达能力。
