Lu Ban — the legendary master carpenter
一、教学内容分析
本课时为跨文化交际阅读课，主要教学内容聚焦于发明创造主题，层次丰富且目标明确。首先以鲁班事迹开篇，讲述其从叶子边缘获灵感发明锯，以及其他军事和建筑方面的发明，让学生感受古人智慧与创新精神。随后引入中国古代四大发明，借助图片匹配活动，加深学生对造纸术、印刷术、指南针和火药的认知，激发民族自豪感。最后安排小组活动，要求介绍一位发明家，从发明成果、兴趣领域和可汲取的品质等角度探讨，锻炼学生合作交流与语言表达能力，全方位提升学生对发明创造的理解与认识。
二、语篇分析
【What】 本课时包含一篇短文，文章讲述了传奇木匠鲁班的故事。他年轻时与家人一起劳作，学习能力强且富有创造力，热衷发明新工具。一日他被叶子割伤手指，受叶子边缘锯齿启发，发明了锯。此外，他还发明了钩强、云梯等，帮助建造桥梁和宫殿，对中国影响深远。 【Why】 语篇意在介绍鲁班及其发明创造，弘扬中国古代工匠的智慧与创新精神。通过讲述鲁班从生活中获得灵感发明锯等事迹，读者可以了解古代科技成就，激发对传统文化的兴趣，并鼓励人们学习鲁班善于观察、勇于创新的品质。 【How】 语篇以时间和事件为线索，先介绍鲁班的基本信息，再按时间顺序讲述锯的发明及其他发明创造。语言简洁平实，运用“One day” “in the following days” “also” 等词使文章过渡自然，层次分明，清晰呈现鲁班的生平与贡献，展现出创造力与智慧。

The Four Great Inventions in ancient China greatly promoted the development of China and the world.
Can you tell more about them Then discuss with your classmates.
Printing was invented by Bi Sheng in the Song Dynasty. He made movable clay characters. These characters could be put together to print different texts. Printing became much faster this way.
Gunpowder was invented by Chinese people during the Tang Dynasty. They mixed saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal （硝石、硫磺和木炭）by accident. At first, it was used for fireworks. Later, it was used in weapons and changed the world.
Look and say
Paper-making was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Before that, people wrote on bamboo or silk. Cai Lun thought of using tree bark, rags and fishing nets. He made them into pulp（纸浆）, dried it, and invented paper. It made writing much easier.
Compass was invented in ancient China. Ancient Chinese people made the first compass by shaping lodestone into spoons and placing them on smooth plates. It greatly helped with navigation.
