教学材料 Traffic Jams—A Problem Traffic jams happen anywhere. People can get very frustrated if they are stuck in a traffic jam. If a person is driving a skycar, they wouldn’t have to worry about traffic jams. Drivers could just move over to the side of the road, get their car ready and zoom into the sky. The traffic jam would be far below them. Inventing a Flying Car For many years, people have tried to invent a car that could fly. Some were too expensive, and others just did not work. But one day, an inventor named Gilo Cardozo put a motor onto a sand buggy. The motor had a big propeller and a sail. As Gilo zoomed over the ground, the buggy went up into the air. Gilo had turned the sand buggy into a skycar. The skycar Gilo’s flying car is called a skycar. It has a racing bike engine. The engine moves the skycar along when it is on the ground. The engine uses fuel made from plants. When the car is flying, a parasail helps to move it along. As the car speeds over the ground, the parasail fills up with air. If the parasail gets damaged or collapses, the skycar uses a parachute. The parachute will unfold so that the skycar can glide safely back to the ground. Testing the skycar The skycar idea couldn’t be sold until it was tested. People had to see if it was really safe. They had to see if it could fly long distances as well. So Gilo Cardozo and his team went on a long journey to Timbuktu. This was a dangerous journey. They had to cross the sea and travel over a desert. It was hot and dusty in the desert. They were a long way from anywhere. A Successful Journey The most dangerous part of the journey was crossing the sea. The strong winds made the skycar swing around but no one was hurt. Some people thought that the trip would fail. It didn’t. The skycar was a success. It could drive on motorways. It could go over sand dunes and rocky ground. And, it could fly safely a long way, too. A Future for skycars Skycars aren’t used yet to fly in and out of cities. They are noisy and they need space to take off. Skycars would be useful in many ways. They are easier to fly than a 中小学教育资源及组卷应用平台 helicopter and not as expensive. They could get to places where helicopters and other vehicles couldn’t. Someday soon, skycars could be zooming around in the sky like giant birds. 教学设计 课文标题： Skycar 单元名称： 第 15级 教材版本： 多维阅读 授课年级： 八年级 整体设计思路 这是一个非故事性的科普类文本。本书逻辑紧密，主要围 绕 Skycar 展开。从发明过程、运作原理、测试过程等方面介 绍了 skycar，并基于现状对其未来进行展望。文本分析采用 哲学方法—诠释学，即：文本字面意思、文本背后的意思、作 者想表达什么、读者对文本的评价。与此同时兼顾预测并调研： 学生的兴趣点在哪里？学生的学习困难在哪里？ 教学目标 1、了解文本所讲的基本信息， 即 skycar 的发明过程、运作 原理、测试过程和作者对飞车未来的态度。 2、通过所学内容以及教师的信息补充，更全方位的了解飞车 的背景知识和飞车作者所体现出的科学探索精神。 3、引导学生形成对事物的客观评价能力并激发学生不断探索 的欲望。 教 ... ...
