【教学反思】

本节课笔者从以下几个方面引领学生探究文本的主题意义，培养学生正确的人生观、价值观，凸显英语学科育人价值。

一、分析人物个性，反思自身性格

通过对Andrew四次DIY尝试的逐个分析，学生能够从主人公的言行中感受到他对爱好的执着。Andrew身上有着许多令人敬佩的闪光点，但也存在许多问题：过于自信，甚至有些自大，拒绝接受他人意见，做事不考虑后果，最终导致他接连失败。学生从主人公的言行中自然而然地感受到他的优缺点，形成客观评价。同时，在分析Andrew性格的过程中，学生逐步理解Andrew接连失败的原因，得出DIY成功的方法，并反思自身性格的优缺点，做到“有则改之，无则加勉”。

二、赏析文本语言，提升育人效果

本文具有很强的可读性和趣味性。文章运用了多种表达方式和修辞手法，让学生在阅读有趣故事的同时，领悟文本深意，从而收到育人效果。比如文章在谈到Andrew把家里都涂成蓝色的时候，用了副词even，学生能从中感受到Su⁃zy和Andrew妈妈惊讶和气愤的情绪，意识到An⁃drew的DIY创作给家人带来了很大的麻烦。

三、联系生活实际，渗透体验教育

主人公Andrew屡败屡战，说明DIY有着令人着迷的独特魅力。它可以丰富动手者的想象力、创造力，培养动手者的注意力；也可以让动手者享受自己动手的过程，产生极大的满足感和愉悦感。本节课最后，笔者鼓励学生给An⁃drew制作建议卡片，帮助Andrew分析问题，找到正确的DIY方法。笔者还引导学生大胆创新，放手制作，尽力装饰自己的建议卡片。在学生初步享受DIY乐趣时，笔者适时鼓励他们在日常生活中也可以自己动手做一些事情，充分体验DIY的乐趣。
