P16. 教材分析和教材重组 1. 教材分析本单元以机器人和科幻小说为话题，介绍了20世纪世界知名的科幻小说家Isaac Asimov写于1951的Satisfaction Guaranteed 和作者的生平。通过本单元的教学，旨在让学生了解科幻小说最大的特征在于：它赋予了“幻想”依靠科技在未来得以实现的极大可能，甚至有些“科学幻想”在多年以后，的确在科学上成为了现实。如Isaac Asimov1951年描述的机器人的部分功能已经被应用于现实生活和工作中。在教学中，要鼓励学生敢于幻想，大胆创新，发挥自己丰富的想象力和创作力，写出独具特色的科幻文章。1.1 Warming Up介绍了什么是机器人和不同种类及不同形状的机器人。1.2 Pre-reading 通过讨论机器人是否像人类一样有自己的思维、是否有感情引出Isaac Asimov的科幻小说Satisfaction Guaranteed，为本单元的Reading做好了铺垫。1.3 Reading的课文是Isaac Asimov写于1951的科幻小说Satisfaction Guaranteed。文中描述的机器人Tony是一个除去面无表情外，身材高大、相貌英俊、聪明机智的完美男人，仅三周的时间就使女主人坠入爱河。1.4 Comprehending共有3个练习，练习1是关于克莱尔的情感变化，练习2是关于课文内容的5个问答题，旨在考查学生对课文的理解；练习3要求学生比较机器人Tony在physical, mental两方面与人的异同，与Pre-reading 部分的问题相呼应。1.5 Learning about Language分为两部分，Discovering useful words and expressions是本单元词汇练习题；Revising useful structures是本单元语法练习题，通过本单元的学习，要求学生熟练掌握不定式的被动语态。1.6 Using Language分为两部分，Listening and speaking是Molly 和Kate 讨论Satisfaction Guaranteed的对话录音，要求学生根据对话内容学会运用表达自己观点的常用句型。这部分教学内容还要求学生以机器人为话题，充分发挥自己的想象力，谈论机器人做家务的利与弊。并且要求自己动手设计机器人，附上文字说明。Reading, discussing and writing部分的内容是科幻小说家Isaac Asimov的生平介绍。文章后附有练习题。第一题要求学生根据时间线索了解在作者生命中发生的重要事件；第二、三题要求学生讨论Isaac Asimov的“机器人三定律”。2. 课型设计与课时分配1st PeriodReading 2nd PeriodLanguage points3rd PeriodLearning about language 4th PeriodGrammar 5th PeriodUsing language6th Period Writing. 分课时教案ReadingTeaching goals教学目标1.
