思维品质 分析作者以“空超市”场景开篇的写作意图（To show that living things depend on each other.）；运用“三步答题法”（选场景→说关联→举例子）组织 1f 开放讨论，建立“动物—植物—人类”关联链。
文化意识 认识蜜蜂在生态系统中的重要作用与数量下降的现实，树立保护蜜蜂、守护生态平衡的责任感（Follow the law of interdependence of all things in nature.）；体会万物相互依存的自然法则。
教学重难点
教学重点：①1a 预测与 pollination/honeycomb/pollen 主题词的理解（课本 p.36-37）；②1b 四个形容词与 1c 思维导图（importance—facts—problem）的信息获取；③in order to, without, be connected with 的运用。
教学难点：①表语从句 Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. 的理解；②disappointed 与 disappointing 的辨析；③1e 续写与 1f 关联链表达的逻辑组织。
教学过程
教学环节 师生活动 活动观层次 评价要点
Step 1 视频导入 (4’) ①观看蜜蜂主题视频并问答：What can you see in the video What can you get about bees from the video ；②图式激活：bee /bi / 蜜蜂——honey, fruits, vegetables, flowers, people, plants（蜜蜂与人类生活的关联网）。 学习理解 感知与注意 蜜蜂旧知激活程度（诊断性评价）
Step 2 Work on 1a 读前预测 (5’) ①Look at the title and the pictures below. Guess what the text is about.（p.36）——标题 We Can't Live Without Bees（没有蜜蜂我们就无法生存）；②主题词铺垫：pollination / p l ne n/ 授粉；honeycomb / h nik m/ 蜂巢；蜂窝；pollen / p l n/ 花粉；the connection between humans and bees（the importance of bees）；their work: take pollen with flowers；their home: make honeycombs。 学习理解 感知与注意 预测合理性与主题词认读
Step 3 快速阅读 文体结构 (6’) ①What kind of text do you think it is A. Narrative text（记叙文）B. Argumentative text（议论文）C. Expository text（说明文）——Popular science essay（科普文）；②Read the text and summarize the main idea of each paragraph.——Para 1: Bees' connection（引出蜜蜂与人类的关系）；Para 2: Bee's pollination（授粉）；Para 3: Bees' interesting traits（特点）；Para 4: Protect bees；③结构划分：Introduction / Body / Conclusion。 学习理解 获取与梳理 文体判断与段落大意归纳
Step 4 Work on 1b 形容词圈画 (5’) ①Read the text and underline the adjectives the writer uses to describe bees.（p.36）——hard-working, most important, most interesting, most amazing；②归纳：So bees are hard-working, most important, most interesting, most amazing.（勤劳的、最重要的、最有趣的、最神奇的。） 学习理解 获取与梳理 形容词圈画的完整度
Step 5 逐段细读 (10’) ①Para 1：Why does the writer use the “empty supermarket” to introduce the topic —To show that living things depend on each other.；②Para 2：Bees' greatest work is pollination, which helps plants grow. They often visit 50 to 100 flowers during the trip. About 80 per cent of the plants in the world can grow because of bees.；③Para 3（Interesting Facts）：create honeycombs / dance / store honey / communicate with other bees——work hard together to make their homes and create honeycombs to store honey; communicate using dances；④Para 4：What problem do bees face —The number of bees is dropping. What does the author suggest readers do —Think about ways they can help protect bees.。 学习理解→应用实践 分析与判断 四段细读问题的回答质量（对应语言能力目标）
Step 6 Work on 1c 思维导图 (5’) ①Read again and complete the mind map with the information from the text.（p.37）——importance：their greatest work: pollination; visit 50 to 100 flowers on one trip; help plants grow；interesting facts：work hard together to make their homes and create honeycombs to store honey; communicate using dances；problem：their number is dropping；②依据导图口头复述课文要点。 学习理解 概括与整合 导图还原度与复述质量（对应学习能力目标）
Step 7 Work on 1d 开放讨论 (5’) ①Discuss the questions.（p.37）——Q1 Can you give another title for the text —Why Bees Matter to Us / The Amazing World of Bees / Bees: Our Important Friends / Bees: Important to our lives…；Q2 What other interesting facts do you know about bees —Bees have five eyes. / A bee's wings beat about 200 times per second. / Bees can recognize human faces. / Different types of bees have different lifespans. / When a bee stings a person, it usually dies soon after.；Q3 What do you know about the connection between humans and other insects, such as ants and butterflies —Ants are one of the tiniest helpers in nature. They clean the environment by eating dead plants and animals. And they make homes to help plants grow better. / Butterflies' greatest work is pollination. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow.。 迁移创新 批判与评价 三个开放问题的观点与依据
Step 8 Work on 1e/1f 续写与关联 (7’) ①1e：Imagine you are the writer. Write one more paragraph about bees and add it to the text.——范文要点：Here is how we can help bees: First, grow flowers that bees like. This gives them food. Second, don't use bug spray（杀虫剂）. It can hurt or kill bees. Finally, tell your friends and family why bees are important and need our help.；②1f：How do you understand the connection between plants, animals, and people （be home to many species / medicine / Ecosystem Balance / food supply）——范例：I visited a small town in Guangdong once. There are many large trees in the town. They are home to many birds. A lot of tourists come to see the trees and the birds…；③三步答题法：Step 1 选场景（公园、森林、农场等）；Step 2 说关联（[动物] helps [植物] grow. Then, [植物] gives [人类/动物]… So, humans need to protect [动植物]…）；Step 3 举例子（In a garden, bees help flowers grow by pollinating them. These flowers make the garden beautiful and give humans joy. So we need to protect bees and plant more flowers!）；④湿地对话范例：The wetland is home to fish, birds, and many plants. People protect it—no littering, no hunting. When the wetland is healthy, animals and people both benefit!。 迁移创新 想象与创造 续写段落与关联链表达的逻辑性（表现性评价）
Step 9 语言聚焦 总结作业 (5’) ①connect v. 关联；连接——不及物：connect to/with…与……连接；及物：connect…with/to/and…；be connected with/to 与……相连；与……有关联；connection n. 联系；连接；②without prep. 没有；缺乏（反义词 with），后接名词、代词或动词-ing（A friend without faults will never be found.）；③imagine v. 想象；猜想→imagination n. 想象力；imagine+名词/代词/doing/从句（Can you imagine life without the Internet ）；④disappointed adj. 失望的；沮丧的——be disappointed at/by sth. / be disappointed with/in sb./sth. / be disappointed to do sth.；辨析：disappointed 表示人的主观感受，disappointing 表示事物自身性质；⑤in order to “为了；以便”，后接动词原形，否定形式 in order not to；拓展：动词不定式和 in order that（后接句子）也可表目的；⑥Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate.——表语从句，how they communicate 用作表语（The truth is that the earth is not flat.）；communicate with sb. 与某人交流；⑦play a part（in sth.）参与某事；同义 play a role（in）；⑧importance n. 重要性——the importance of…；be of great/no importance（=very important/not important）。 学习理解 概括与整合 语言点辨析判断与笔记质量
