【任务主题】人与自然
【任务话题】Living Environment
【任务单元】PEP《英语》五(上)Unit 5 There is a big bed
【任务内容】Part A&B Let’s talk
【任务类型】I can imitate & talk
【任务名称】Home tour
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“人与自然”主题的引领下,本单元以“My room”为话题,整体语境为参观朋友家,观察并谈论其家中的家具陈设及位置。在设计本课评价任务时,只需考查学生是否掌握一些常见家居摆设的英文名称以及用来表示物体间相对位置关系的介词就达到目标了吗?答案当然是否定的。深入解析该单元的文本意图,笔者发现从教材人物谈论家中物品及摆放,过渡到走向生活运用,链接真实谈论自己的家、了解自己和朋友的各有特色的居住环境,才是激活学生活学活用的意义所在。2022年版新课标指出,教师要有意识地为学生创设主动参与和探究主题意义的情境和空间,使学生获得积极的学习体验,成为意义探究的主体和积极主动的知识建构者。因此,在本课的学习中,教师可以积极调动学生已有知识储备,丰富对话内容,让学生的旧知充分滚动融入到新的语境中,让Home tour 更有意义。通过此次参观,让自己更了解朋友及其家人的喜好和生活习惯。
由此,本课时的表现性任务可以设计为:以图文结合的形式设计自己家中的房间,向朋友介绍家中空间布局,以及邀请朋友做客并尽地主之谊招待客人。同时在参观中,感受好友及其家人的兴趣爱好和生活习惯。展开评价时应在四个基本维度的基础评价标准上,根据其房间物品的摆放及设计,增加Reasonable arrangement(空间布局合理性)和Creativity of production(作品设计创意性)的评价维度,引导学生自主探究,在合理安排房间物品的基础上展示体现个人性格、兴趣爱好等个性特征的创意设计,培养学生的综合语言运用能力和创新能力,充分调动学生学习的主动性和积极性,促进其个性发展。
二、I can imitate&talk 的表现性任务实施案例与剖析
(一)任务设计
【任务名称】Home tour
【任务说明】2~5 人组队拜访朋友,主人可以向朋友介绍生活空间、学习空间、自然空间等区域,并邀请好友一起欣赏花园、喝下午茶、烹饪DIY、进行娱乐活动等。在参观与互动中,发现朋友及其家人们的兴趣爱好和生活习惯,感受不同的家庭氛围吧。
【任务语料】
【语料操作】
准备期——与同学分享自己家房间的布局与分区,分享创意
制作期——设计房间简图,准备介绍语言
展示期——班级群上传房间设计图及亮点介绍视频,点赞最多的小组在学校英语节展演
【评价标准】
1.Accuracy——语言表达准确性,共3 星。
2.Flexibility——语言运用灵活性,共3 星。
3.Diversity——语言表达多样性,共3 星。
4.Usability of communicative strategies——交际策略使用性,共3 星。
5.Reasonable arrangement——空间布局合理性,共3 星。
6.Creativity of production——作品设计创意性,共3 星。
【设计说明】这两个课时是本单元的学习重点,其学习的关键是用“There is a/an...”和“There are...”及物品类单词和方位词对房间摆设、物品信息进行介绍。在任务设计上,创意设计自己的家和邀请朋友做客都是学生非常感兴趣的话题,学生可交际的空间大、任务综合性强,需要在团队合作中逐步解决房屋设计、安排活动等小任务。在此过程中学生的体验感和获得感是不言而喻的。在乐学、乐思的氛围中去解决真实生活情境的问题,是作者期待在这个任务中所看到的。
(二)任务介绍与示范
【任务示范】T:Robin lives in Wu Binbin’s home.Robin’s friends are curious about his home.What rooms are there in his home? What can you do there? Look! They are talking about it now.Let’s watch and enjoy together!(教师呈现示范视频及Robin 家中房间图片)
示范视频对话记录如下:
示范房间图如下:
【范例评价】
T:Children, how do you like Robin’s home?What about their home tour? How many stars can they get? Let’s take a look!
Tip 1:Accuracy.From their dialogue, can you find any mistakes? No mistakes! When visiting the rooms, they talk about it with correct expressions!So, they can get 3 stars.
Tip 2:Flexibility.They can use words and expressions from the book.So, 3 stars for them.
Tip 3:Diversity.I think their spoken English is quite good! They can use the proper expressions to talk about things and position in some special rooms.For example, “This is the leisure room.There is a billiard ball table near the wall.You can play pool here! There is a big screen on the wall!Can we watch movies here?”So, they can get 3 stars.
Tip 4:Usability of Communicative Strategies.When visiting the rooms, visitors can use “Shall we...?”“Can we...?” to ask for permission.It’s polite.And everyone enjoys talking with each other! So, they can get 3 stars.
Tip 5:Reasonable arrangement.Do you like their design? I think it’s quite cool! Especially the basement! Grandpa’s lab is there.So, 3 stars for them.
Tip 6:Creativity of production.As you see, the drawing is pretty.And you can see some tips for the room.In the tips, there are some special activities for visitors.So, 3 stars for them.
In total, they have 18 stars.Good job!
【示范说明】教师在任务示范环节选用了教材中特殊的人物机器人Robin 的家。Robin 在学生的知识背景中是由Wu Binbin 的爷爷所设计的,因此Robin的住所就是Wu Binbin 的家。根据对人物的了解,创造设计的作品既能链接学生的已有认知,又能激发其创造性思考的空间。比如,Wu Binbin 的爷爷是一位科学家,在家中拥有个人实验室的创意既符合人物特点又极富有吸引力,在实验室中可以进行的特殊活动又给了学生充分的交际语境。地下室有一间有趣的休闲室,大家在里面看到了Wu Binbin 的运动计划安排表(五年级上册第二单元 Read and write 中提到过),同时有一张台球桌,Wu Binbin 的父母会在周末打台球。当然,这些细节上的思维点需要教师在评价环节进一步对应标准举证,增强学生对范例的消化吸收程度,导向学生对标准形成“无上限、可突破”的认知。
(三)任务布置与准备
【任务布置】T:What’s your room like? Do you want to have a nice room? It’s your turn! First,design the room you really like.Then, your own room or your dream room with your partners.Finally, you can show your dialogue and production to us! Are you ready? Let’s get it started!
【导航讨论】Students discuss about their rooms according to the items in the worksheet.The worksheet should contain comprehensive aspects for the task as much as possible.So it can guide students to organize the discussion orderly and efficiently.
(5 minutes later, students finish the worksheet and form their own project about the design.)
【导航解读】家中物品陈设及空间划分能折射出家庭成员的性格、喜好及生活习惯。第一组展示了自家小院带来的怡然生活,在体验自主烹饪美食的过程中呈现家中厨房的陈列和功能;第二组学生呈现了氛围满满的“家庭艺术馆”, 尽赏满墙书画,细听悠扬古筝,趣玩绘画手稿……任务导航单的细化设置为任务活动的实施降低了难度。首先,导航单通过组员或角色分配、任务名称和具体呈现形式呈现了任务完成的步骤,为任务的完成提供了保证。其次,从房间分布、家居物品陈设、功能活动安排等方面入手,以导图的形式为学生提供了可考虑的设计因素,并且以半开放式的形式,既可以勾选项目,又在每个项目后提供了学生可自主发挥空间,尤其是在功能活动安排上,学生结合美食DIY、绘画、拍美照等,让房间功能发挥到极致。最后,达标创想在唤醒学生的元认知的同时,也让他们在设计房间的过程中自主监控学习目标的达成情况,主动反思、调控自我学习进程,促使学生能不断改进自己的作品,提高作品的完美度。
【作品制作】(After class, students work for their production.)
【准备说明】
五年级学生已经有两年的英语学习基础,积累和掌握了不少关于房间和室内物品的词汇,这些都为作品的设计排除了障碍。但是I can imitate & talk 表现性任务比较偏重语言交际,因此在做客参观了解生活空间、学习空间、自然空间的同时,也可以根据房间功能安排一些有趣而有意义的活动, 比如欣赏花园、烹饪DIY、娱乐活动等都能充分调动学生的积极性。教师可适当介入渗透相关知识,帮助学生打开构思思路,激发探究兴趣,增强学生主动学习和创造的内驱力。

【展评说明】本组学生在谈论好朋友Ben 的家时,瞬间被Ben 家的厨房及大花园所吸引。首先,厨房桌子上有一本菜谱书,他们渴望像Ben 的爸爸(厨师)一样做出美味的午餐。美食对于小朋友来说是一个不小的诱惑,这也是大家想去参观他们家的重要原因之一。其次,他们家还有一个大花园,学生可以尽情野餐和拍照,氛围十分愉悦!在介绍和商讨的过程中,我们惊喜地看到学生乐于交流和善于思考的积极状态,尤其对娱乐活动(swing, DIY food, have a picnic)话题的讨论中,学生不仅能正确运用恰当的句式进行输出,更在话题驱动下动态生成了更多地道的真实语言:Let’s make some nice food like a cook.此外,思维导图式的介绍打破了传统的线性思考,让我们看到了该任务的思维生长点,有助培养学生思维的开放性和灵活性,为非线性思考表达方式提供了参考。

【展评说明】本组作品中,学生自己设计房间和参观路线,并根据参观所见自然形成对话,过程中学生充分运用了描述房间物品摆设的语言并融入了生活化的相关话题表达,尤其是在书房中教朋友弹古筝和画年画、制作有意义的新年礼物,这些有趣的片段让人充分感受到每一个学生都拥有独特的生活经历的魅力,个性化的生活经验让任务充满了富有特定含义的想象和创造,这样有个性的输出能让学生在任务分享中获得强烈的成就感,增强表现欲,进而形成主动学习、创意表现的良性循环。
