Unit 8 Literature Lesson 1 The Last Leaf--(教学设计) 【课题名称】北师大新教材选择性必修三Unit8 Literature Lesson1 The Last Leaf 主题语境:人与社会之文学与艺术 语篇类型:短篇小说 单元大观念:探究英语语言在文学作品中的表现力, 通过语言学习语言 课时小观念:学习赏析短篇小说 Core Competence(Linguistic Competence;Learning ability;Thinking quality;Cultural awareness) 文本分析: 【What】:本节课的语篇是美国作家欧·亨利的作品《最后一片叶子》, 讲述了一位老画家为患肺炎而奄奄一息的穷学生画最后一片长春藤叶的故事, 刻画了一个在社会底层挣扎了一辈子的小人物--老画家贝尔曼, 他饱经风霜、穷困潦倒,却热爱绘画艺术,为挽救一个青年画家的生命而献出了自己的生命。 【Why】:通过阅读,旨在让学生了解短篇小说的特点和要素,在文本信息梳理中领悟小说的主题意义;利用善意的谎言播种希望,而希望是生命的支撑。 【How】:本文属于完整的故事叙述,围绕Sue、Johnsy和Mr Behrman三个主要人物展开。故事以Johnsy染上肺炎为开端,以“最后一片叶子”为线索,以时间为轴,用诙谐幽默的语言和生动的环境描写推动故事的发展,“欧·亨利式”的结尾发人深省,令人回味。 学情分析: 对于英语文学,学生在中小学语文课程、历史名人等学科已有部分了解和阅读部分英译中文学作品的经历,通过语文学习已经培养了一定的文学赏析能力。但是对于欧·亨利短篇小说的基本构成要素、风格、写作手法以及相关专业术语的英文表达不熟悉,加上文学作品受到个人和社会影响,也加大了学生本课学习的难度。所以教师有必要提供相应的背景知识和词汇表达。另一方面,“欧·亨利式”的结尾、人物刻画、语言表达生动优美、文学修辞等,对学生具有很大的吸引力。 教学目标: Teaching objectives By the end of this class, students will be able to: 1. acquire more background information about the author O.
