I.Analysis of Teaching Content
1.Theme context:Human and society—science and technology—start an online community
2.Type of text:narration 3.Analysis of text:
(1)what:
With the theme of“creating an online community”,this article tells the story of a female teacher in the UK who has not only used the Internet to change her life,but also helped other elderly people learn to use the Internet and changed their lives and destiny.
There are five paragraphs in the article,explaining the time,background, location,characters,and the reason and result of Jan's story.The structure is complete;the theme is full of positive energy.
(2)How
Stylistic features:This article is a narration that tells Jan Tchamani's story in a third-person tone.The past tense is mainly used in the article.When it comes to the events at present,it uses the present perfect tense,including the active voice and
passive voice of the present perfect tense.
Structure: There are five paragraphs in the article.The first paragraph is the introduction,which points out the topic of the article—the Internet has changed people's lives.The second paragraph describes the reasons and experiences about Jan’ s accessing to the Internet.The third paragraph tells that Jan opened an IT club to help the elderly use computers and the Internet and achieved regrettable results,which is the core part of the article.The fourth paragraph introduces Jan's concept of bridging the digital divide and his next goal.The final paragraph ends with Jan's words, expressing her noble feelings of self-respect and compassion.
So this article can be divided into 3 parts.Paragraph 1 is the first part— introduction of the topic.Paragraph 2-4 are the second part,telling Jan's life has been changed.The last one part is paragraph 5,which is the summary of the story.
Language: The article mainly uses the past tense to tell Jan's story.The story isn't hard for students to understand,because the words and language points used in it are relatively easy.
(3)Why
The Internet has brought great changes to the society.Some people have the equipment and conditions to access the Internet and have been educated in this respect,while some people can not access the Internet temporarily due to various reasons.This creates a“digital divide”between these two groups.To bridge and close the digital divide,governments and enthusiasts around the world are taking actions. Individuals can also contribute to eliminating the digital divide,helping people around them explore the virtual world online,get on the express train of the network information age,and share a happy and bright tomorrow.

IX Teaching Reflection
(
优
点
：
)
1.语音语调比较自然，有抑扬顿挫，声音洪亮。
2.参与进同学们的讨论中，查看同学们的讨论进度和讨论结果。
3.对时间的把控比较好，在时间不太充足的情况下有选择地取舍活动，课堂 衔接流畅，结构完整。
4.对没有回答上问题的同学进行鼓励，引导回答预设答案。
(
不
足
：
)
1.在问题设置上还需要深入思考。比如在Skim the text的第二个问题中"how many parts can this text be divided into ”学生的回答可能就是简单的数字，没有 深入思考为什么这么分，以及分成的几个部分大意是什么,而自己在核对答案的 时候又提到了原因和大意，同学们很可能就答不上来。所以在设计问题的时候要 考虑周全。
2.根据学生的知识基础和学习能力设计教学活动的能力有待提高。在设计 while-reading时，仅是对文本情节的梳理让同学们填空，这对班里的同学们来说 有些简单，挑战性比较小，在做paragraph2的情节梳理时，就有同学已经把3、 4段的内容填好了，所以在问题的难度设置上也需要认真地思考，一定要针对学 生的学情出发。刘老师提到，其实听说读写不管在哪个课型中都能运用，几个课 型也能相互转化，比如第三单元的阅读文本过于简单，其实可以把听力融合进去， 给文章挖空让同学们填空，既能训练同学们的听力能力也能在听的过程中熟悉重 点单词。
3.同学们回答问题后教师的反馈不充足。在同学们起来回答问题后，最多的 评价就是“OK,great,very good,sit down please”,很少针对同学们回答和发言的内 容进行评价或者延伸，很多时候感觉同学们回答完问题问答环节就戛然而止了，
不仅作为老师自己会有些尴尬，对学生来说他们没有得到反馈也会有些慌乱，不 知道自己的回答是否是正确的。所以这个问题还是要靠自身提高口语能力来解 决 。
4.Handout学案的设计需要更精细地打磨。在让同学们归纳文章大意的时候 教师指令是让同学们在文中勾画原句，而在学案上设计成了需要写下来的形式， 所以容易让同学们产生疑惑。另外在布置家庭作业的时候，教师指令是让同学们 写一小段关于给祖父母推荐app及原因的话，并且让同学们试着用上文中至少3 个加粗或者他们自己觉得用得好的词句，教师指令有点长，不一定同学们都能听 得很清楚，所以可以很好地利用学案，在学案上写好要求，并举例给出文本中的 几个词，再规划好回答的格子，这样也方便老师收作业检查同学们的学习情况。
