PEP《英语》六（下）Unit 4 Then and now I can imitate & talk表现性评价设计

文|周 乒 郭美阳

【任务主题】人与自然

【任务话题】居住环境

【任务单元】PEP《英语》六（下）Unit 4 Then and now

【任务内容】Part A Let’s try &talk

【任务类型】I can imitate & talk

【任务名称】Be a Spokesman

一、基于文本解读的I can imitate & talk 的表现性任务与动态评价标准

在本课的迁移创新环节，教师往往会让学生从祖孙两代人视角，谈论自己学校的时代变迁。但在对话中不难发现，虽然是谈论自己的学校，但其内容和文本中的大同小异。很多家庭祖孙两代并不是真的在同一个学校学习，缺乏情感共鸣，对话过程“为问而问”。这样的活动看似是文本学习的拓展延伸，但其实依旧披着“机械操练”的外衣。语言是情感与思维的产物，究其原因，是缺乏主题意义的引领，导致学生情感体验不足、思维探究不深、建构空间不大、素养提升不够。只有提炼主题意义，才能形成、设计出符合“有主题意义性、富建构空间度、具素养全息性”特质的高质量任务。通过再一次研读教材，主情境图中的校史纪念馆这一情境使我们从对主题意义的挖掘中得到了启发。纪念馆中老照片与校舍模型，Wu Binbin 看到老校舍模型时欣喜的表情，以及Grandpa 和Wu Binbin 指认照片中人物的动作与表情，都在生动地传递着人物的内心情感。可见，学生对“今与昔”的理解需要建立在具体形象的图、文、影像基础上，才能真正有自己的感悟。此外，还需要设置恰当的人物角色，让学生依托人物角色更好地表达自己的发现与心灵的震撼。

为此，本单元的表现性任务为：我是新闻发言人。以Changes 为主题，开展主题式调查研究，并创新设计展示形式。在作品展评过程中，除了音义理解准确性、语言运用灵活性、语言表达的多样性、交际策略的使用性等基础评价标准，还新增了Special Perspective（视角选择的独特性）、In-depth Research（调查研究的深刻性）以及Creative Production（展示形式的创意性）等标准。使学生独特地观察与思考身边人与物的变迁、进行深入地研究、创意设计与展示。

Principal: Ladies and gentlemen.I’m Yao Yong，the principal.Today, it’s the Open Day of our school.I hope that you can have a lovely day here in Aishan.

Reporter: Good afternoon, Mr.Yao.We know your school is very old.

Principal: Yes.It was small and old.But our students also had a lot of fun.They often roll iron hoop on the playground.Look.They played pingpong on a cement table.They didn’t have a library at that time.But they had lots of small comic books like these.Students enjoyed them very much.

Reporter: It was really a famous school in Huzhou.As we all know, in the past few years,Aishan has changed a lot.

Principal: Thank you for your attention.In the past, the buildings were not tall.Now, you can see taller buildings in our school.Now, we have a big and clean library.Students can enjoy their reading.

Principal: Yes.There are 60 classrooms in our school.We have art rooms, music rooms, science rooms and computer rooms.

【示范说明】教师呈现的对话虽然还是Changes in our school，但内容形式上都已经与书本大不相同。滚铁环、水泥乒乓球桌和小人书，让“观众”真切地走进了那个年代。同时，校长这一角色作为“新闻发言人”介绍百年名校日新月异发展的那份自豪感，更使“观众”备受感染，对学校、祖国的爱从心底油然而生。独特的视角、深度的研究和创意的展示，点亮了学生的创作热情。

（三）任务布置与准备

【任务布置】It’s your turn to show your ideas.First, find your partner.Then, discuss what changes you will talk about.Next, you should do some survey or research to know more details about the changes.Finally, you can design how to show your discovery.Please take out your worksheet! Let’s begin!

【导航讨论】The students discuss their ideas according to the items in the worksheet.It can guide the students to organize the discussion orderly and efficiently.

（5 minutes later, students finish the worksheet and form their own project about the survey chart.）

【导航解读】Changes 这一话题选题宽泛，有一定的难度。任务导航单使学生在有限的课堂时间内，高效地完成了围绕Changes 这个大主题的选题、内容架构与形式设计。学生可以选择学校的变迁、城市的变迁、家庭的变迁或者是国家的变迁。同时，既引导学生关注日新月异的今昔变化，也引导学生用辩证的眼光去发现各个年代特有的优势与劣势。例如，互联网时代虽然网购方便，但也缺少了一家人其乐融融到商场逛街的体验；城市的发展并不是越新越好，还要将自然、文化遗产传承下来，从而使学生能自主、独立地客观看待问题，增强文化自信，生发文化保护意识，渗透科学发展观。此外，还要求学生对发布会情境与角色进行创意设计，例如，A 组是市长参加城市宣传片的发布会，B 组博物馆解说员给外宾介绍改革开放的变化，增加了任务的趣味性。

【作品制作】（After class, students work for their production.）

【准备说明】学生通过走访、上网查阅等方式深入研究，形成自己的独特理解后，设计展示形式，完成对话稿，布置场景、服装、道具等，完成主题发布视频的拍摄。
