Unit 4 adversity and courage
Reading and Thinking:a successful failure
Good morning,dear judges.It's my great honor to be here to present my teaching design.
The content of my lesson is Senior English required elective course Book 3 Unit 4 Reading and thinkinga successful failure
To begin with,I will introduce my basic teaching elements from the following perspectives.
1.Analysis of the basic teaching elements
① Teaching material analysis
This unit shows the British explorer Shackleton led a 28-member expedition to Antarctica by "Endurance",trapped for two years,after suffering but not giving up,and finally all survived. It aims to teach high school students about one of the great Antarctic expeditions of the 20th century,as well as Captain Shackleton's calm response,perseverance and leadership under extremely harsh conditions.Through learning,high school students can meet the tests of life with the courage to explore and tenacious struggle.
The text adopts diary narrative style.The protagonist,Blackborow is a 19-year-old sailor who idolizes Shackleton and yearns for adventure.The protagonist,Blackborow who is close in age to the students,presents the ordeal of the expedition team in the form of a diary, making the content and idea of the text easy to be accepted by the students and thus resonate with them.
The text contains an advertisement for expedition members and three diary entries spanning about two years.The chronological,first-person account of Blackborow 's journey from being rejected to being smuggled aboard the Endurance,to the Endurance being trapped in the ice,their abandonment of ship and encamped on the ice,and theirordeal as they waited for rescue on Elephant Island.
The title "A Successful Failure"is a condensed distillation of the entire text,indicating that they went through the ordeal of life and death,although they did not reach their original destination,but under Shackleton's correct command,they narrowly survived and returned safely.The text also uses a small amount of psychological description and dialogue to vividly depict the harsh environment,Shackleton's personality charm and the spiritual strength of justice,love for others and perseverance that he conveys among his players.
②Students analysis
The students of senior two have mastered basic reading skills.They have some life experience and basic knowledge of English;They can understand the basic English sentences; However,in face of complex vocabulary,they may find it difficult to have a good command of thepassage,which means teacher's guidance is extremely important. Most of my students can not express themselves appropriately because their vocabulary is quite limited.Moreover, Their learning attitude and motivation is not clear.
③Analysis of the teaching objectives and core qualities
Knowledge objective:Read quickly to get the detailed information;read carefully to do the deductive information
Ability objective: Study the structure features and language features Emotional goal:Let students be interested in English.
④analysis of teaching im portant and difficult points
1.Through skip reading,skimming,combing and induction,reasoning and judgment and other strategies,the key information of the text is extracted,the main idea of the diary is summarized,the meaning of the text is understood,the emotional changes are analyzed and described,and the logical thinking ability is developed.
2.Through text analysis,understand the relevant meaning according to the context,complete the summary blank filling and supplement,make a reasonable inference to the outcome combined with the development of the event,and complete the continuing homework.
⑤Analysis ofthe teaching methods and learning methods
To achieve the teaching objectives,there are three teaching methods used in this lesson.They are situational teaching method,task-based language teaching method and communicative teaching method.As for the learning method,students will be encouraged to adopt cooperative learning method to enhance their cooperative awareness.
2.Presentation of the theories
The design of this class is based on two teaching theories: ◆Product-oriented approach
◆The curriculum standard
3.Analysis of the teaching procedures Step 1:pre-reading
Inquiring and predicting the content of the passage.
Students read the ad,the title,and the pictures,and then work in pairs to ask as many questions as possible about the information each contains.
If necessary,a sample question“Who posted the ad ”can be provided to students.
Possible questions to be covered include: ●Who posted the ad
●What kind of men was he looking for ●Where could they be going
●Why would they go on a dangerous journey ●What extreme difficulties would they meet ●Would there be men to apply
●From the title,was the expedition a success ora failure
[Design intent]Guide students to read with predictions,making them more proactive and context-focused.In this activity,students put forward the information they want to obtain from the text by understanding the advertisement,title and pictures in an inquiry-based learning way,predict the text content,read with questions,cultivate the ability of inference, and promote active learning.In the course of the conversation and question and answer, students also learned about the words "adversity"and "perseverance."

Students read the text and then discuss in pairs how Blackborow's feelings changed as the days passed
[Design intention]Through the re-reading and the setting of four questions,to provide students with a thinking frame.The students discussed the psychological changes of "me"in two groups and went through several stages in order to clarify the four changes contained in the text, namely:To the excitement and pride of Shackleton's consent to stay on board,to the depression and worry of abandoning ship to camp on the ice,and finally to the anxiety,confusion,depression and hope of waiting for rescue on Elephant Island.Through the analysis of the psychological changes of the hero in different stages,the students'thinking is promoted to a higher level
Task 4 consolidation:fill in the blanks according to the text
After seeing 1 the advertisement in a newspaper,Perce Blackborow resolved and managed 2.to join (join)the Antarctic expedition 3.led(lead)by Sir Ernest Shackleton on the ship Endurance in 1914.Their voyage didn't go 4.smoothly (smooth),and the Endurance became 5.stuck (stick)in the ice as they 6.approached (approach)Antarctica.They had to camp on the ice and managed to survive.Then they sailed to Elephant Island,and had been 7.struggling (struggle) for days,but things on Elephant Island were going from bad to worse,8.where they waited for Shackleton to find help.Bless Frank Wild,the kindest man there was 9.after their leader,Ernest Shackleton.Their genuine concern for others,their 10.perseverance (perseverant),and their resolve filled Blackborow with hope.
Step 4 post-reading:role play
Organize students to act out diary fragments in different roles.The students worked in groups of four,one as Blackborow,one as Shackleton,and the rest of the crew as the other sailors on the ship.Each team member read the diary carefully,designed the characters'lines according to the details in the diary,and then practiced and modified them cooperatively in the group.
For example:
Blackborow:Dear Sir Ermest Shackleton,in my eyes,you are the most famous and outstanding explorer in the world. I am 19,and I'm fit and full of vigor.I am really eager to join your adventure that I have been dreaming of.
Shackleton:Thank you,good boy.You are brave,but you are too young.For the sake of your safety,I am sorry to tell you that you are not qualified.
Step 5:Assignment:Predicting &writing the outcome.
As the diary entries didn't tell yet if Shackleton would come back to rescue them.It was also unknown whether they would succeed or fail in the end.Students discuss in groups of 4 what was to continue and how the expedition would end. Then in the lst person students write a diary entry of about 80 words on the ending of the journey as after-class assignment.
[Design intention]Students use the language content they have learned,combine the theme, general idea of the text and the inner development and change of the protagonist,integrate the structure,content and language,and continue to write the text.On the one hand,they consolidate the content of the article and strengthen the theme language,on the other hand,they transfer and innovate the content and language they have learned.This activity also becomes the homework of the first period,and the introduction of the second period.
4.Blackboard design
The blackboard design is one of the highlight of the whole class.By experiencing that change from nothing to a whole one,students can have a better understanding of the text and internalize the information actively.
