一、课文原文

There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds.She took them home and put them in a small cage.She cared them with love and the birds GREw strong.Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.The girl felt great love for the birds.

One day the girl left the door to the cage open.The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that he would fly away.As he flew close,she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him.Suddenly she felt the bird go limp.She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.Her desperate love had killed him.

She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.She could feel his GREat need for freedom.He needed to soar into the clear,blue sky.She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air.The bird circled once,twice,three times.

The girl watched delightedly at the bird’s enjoyment.Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss.She wanted the bird to be happy.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest melody that she had ever heard.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight,the best way to keep love is to give it WINGS!

二、对教材的目标定位的反思

英语经典诵读的课型已经在许多课堂上进行了尝试,有侧重文章韵律的,课堂就应该注重文章朗读时的节奏感。有侧重文章语言之美的,比如《再别康桥》,课堂就应该注重字词句的反复诵读、推敲,体会作者的心情。这篇文章我觉得应该是对文字背后的深层内涵的挖掘和迁移,即:“失去爱的方法,最快莫过于将其牢牢地抓在手心;令爱长驻的方法,最好莫过于赋予它一双翅膀——将爱放飞!”所以在课堂的总体设计上,将目标定位为:(1)学会在中英对译的帮助下,用英文解释新单词;(2)学会观察不同角色的动作,体会人物的内心世界,更深层次地理解这篇文章;(3)将文章的中心思想迁移到与父母的关系处理中,找到将爱放飞的关键,并通过写信的方式与自己的父母尝试沟通。

三、学情分析

本节课对于初二年级的学生来讲,他们基本的朗读要求都能过关,但是就情感要求讲,需要学生抓住文章中的关键字,仔细分析并移情作者感受,再跟自己的实际生活相联系,引发出一定的思考有一定的难度。

四、教学目标(含重、难点)

1.学会在中英对译的帮助下,用英文解释新单词;

2.学会观察不同角色的动作,体会人物的内心世界,更深层次地理解这篇文章;

3.能将文章的中心思想迁移到与父母的关系处理中,找到将爱放飞的关键,并通过写信的方式与自己的父母尝试沟通。

五、对课堂教学环节的反思

Step1.Presentation of prewiew

学生展示提前预习中对生词的理解,用英文解释英文,检测对生词的理解能力和语言运用能力。

反思:在中英对译的经典诵读的文章中,学生在预习时能看懂文章的大意,部分生词在文章后面做了详细的注释,所以我认为与其在课堂教授这些生词,不如给学生一次锻炼和展示的机会。让他们用英文解释英文,难度是比较大的。在预习任务下达之前的预习中,不少学生对生词只是本着不影响总体阅读为想法,并没有认真记住它们、理解它们。在下达预习任务后,他们不得不先画出生词、生句,在文章后中文解释和英汉大字典的帮助下,转变成自己能说得出来、周围同学能听得懂的英文去表达想要表达的意思。因为任务比较难,所以分成四个小组各准备一个小段。

Step2.Lead in

学生解释生词后,留下一个生词“let go”,由老师解释。老师举例“let go of kite,let go of ballons,let go of birds”,紧接着就文章标题进行质疑,“1.How can we let go of love? Still by cutting down the rope? ”,“2.Why do we need to let go of love?”,告知学生在学完文章后,需要回答这两个问题。

反思:这样设计的目的主要有以下几个:(1) 过渡到文章的理解;(2)让学生准备好深层次地理解文章;(3) 在后面的第五个环节,起到对文章理解的前后呼应、画龙点睛的作用。

Step 3.Further reading of para 1-4

主要将文章4段分成三个部分,从对不同角色的把握,体会内涵。

第一段,设疑“Why did the girl feel lonely?”,“Why did the girl took the birds home instead of leaving them there?”,“Why didn’t the girl let go of the birds after they were strong enough?”。

反思:通过这样几个层层递进的问题,引导学生说出:“The little girl took the birds home because she can feel the birds’ loneliness just like hers.”这样深层次的理解小女孩的内心活动,并感同身受她不舍得放手的心情。

第二段,设疑:“Did the girl kill the bird?”“Did she want to kill the bird?”“Do you think the bird will fly away forever?”再设计小鸟和小女孩的内心对白,由班级男女生分别担任不同角色探讨文字背后的东西。

反思:通过对人物内心活动的挖掘,活跃课堂气氛,学生的积极参与源于对人物内心活动的挖掘,这样对文章的理解有了更深的理解。

第三段和第四段,设疑“Did the girl kill you?”,“Were you happy after you had a chance to fly away?”,“Why did you fly back to the gilr at last?”。作为幸存的这只鸟,它目睹并且体验了一切,设计“我的独白”这一环节,总体回顾文章前后不同角色的情感变化。

反思:作为另一只鸟,我认为其对整个的“事件”是最有发言权的,所以用它的独白,最能将这篇文章的深层内涵带出,也就是“将爱放飞”。在这个过程中,通过第三个问题,引导学生说出“Understanding is the key to let go of love”。

Step 4.Develop

Ask students to try to answer the questions on the Bb.“(1) How can we let go of love? Still by cutting down the rope? ”,“(2) Why do we need to let go of love?”。引导学生说出“Letting go of love just means that we shouldn’t make others do something they don’t like.Everyone has the right to choose to live no matter how much you love him.”。

Talk about their parents deep love for them,要求学生尽可能多地举例展示父母之爱。

Talk about their parents misunderstanding of them.要求尽可能多地举例展示彼此间的难沟通的问题。

最后,Write a letter to your parents and try to get their understanding。

反思:这个教学环节的设计主要是深化文章内涵和拓展延伸到自己的学习生活,达到学以致用的目的。但是由于时间关系,没有来得及写笔头作文并展示,当时应该让学生口头表达几句,有点遗憾。
