Unit 3 Reading The effects of the Internet on our lives

Reading The effects of the Internet on our lives
Advance with English 必修模块七 unit3
一、 教学课型 阅读课(90分钟)
牛津英语每个单元中的reading都是根据课程标准，体现一种现代的整体教学方法。它不仅富含完整故事情节的教学，而且还把语言形式教学同语言基础知识结合起来，获得丰富的语言信息，从而增长知识，开阔视野，激发学习兴趣，思维能力也得到发展。新教材对于阅读部分的修改，就为我们进行整体教学提供了很好的教学素材。新教材的使用不但从词汇量上明显加大，而且这种词汇量加大的过程也充满着乐趣。这充分体现了“寓教于乐”和素质教育所要求的“以教师为主导，以学生为主体”的根本思想。
二、教材分析
1. 教学内容（教材内容见文末）
教材处理
此套教材的Reading部分主要由阅读文本、阅读策略、文章总结和话题讨论四个部分构成。对于这一课型，一般采用两课时授课。本课第一课时着重介绍英特网对我们日常生活、学习的影响,并由此展开话题让学生充分发挥自己的主观能动性，大胆设想、创新。在通篇理解的基础上，第二课时将对文中的长难句和基本句型结构进行具体分析操练，让学生达到必要的语言知识目标的要求。
教学目标
(1)语言知识目标
①初步掌握文中与网络有关的词汇及常用表达；
②初步感知文中出现的不同形式的系动词，为下节课的语法学习奠定基础。
(2)能力目标
①提高运用阅读策略预测课文内容和获取课文主要信息的能力；
②通过略读、细读等阅读策略以及讨论活动提高听、说、读的能力。
(3)情感目标
①理解如何有效利用网络；
②形成自主学习、合作学习和探究学习的意识。
教学重点
①培养学生的阅读策略和技巧；
②让学生了解有效利用网络平台在他们学习生活中的重要作用；
③通过各种类型的练习操练，让学生掌握一些有关网络的词汇，句型结构。
教学难点
①在阅读的过程中穿插近两年高考新题型---任务型阅读；
②设计一个关于网络利弊的辩题，让学生现场展开辩论，以此来了解学生对
文章的掌握情况。
三、教学设计
本节课是阅读课，旨在培养学生的阅读理解能力，兼顾听说能力的培养。笔者将引导学生运用本课所学的语言知识，让学生加深对文章主题的理解。其中会将英语学习从课堂适当拓展到课外，这部分要占用45分钟(即第一课时)主要侧重于行文结构的理解和分析，（让学生根据文中提出的网络的利弊两个方面，结合自己的个人观点进行辩驳）。第二课时（45分钟），结合文章，着重讲解词汇与句型结构。
教学流程图

四、 教学过程

第一课时45分钟
Step1. Lead-in
教者在屏幕上展示一些网络在人们平时生活中所提供的一些服务图片，并提出以下问题：
T: What’s the function of “Google”？
Ss: Search for information.
T: How about “Taobao.com and QICQ”? (同时呈现图片)
S1: Shop online.
S2: Chat online.
T: Any other use?
Ss: Enjoy videos online; Download music and movies; Play games;
Keep in touch with others around the world.
[设计说明]: 根据这些能说明网络利弊的问题，自然过渡到本节课的主题“The effects of the Internet on our lives”
Step 2. While-reading
1. Ask the students to skim the text quickly, and then answer
the following questions.
(1). Who are the debaters in the speeches?
Zhu Zhenfei and Lin Lei.
(2). What does each debater speak for?
Zhu Zhenfei speaks for the ‘pro-Internet’ side, and Lin Lei represents the ‘con-Internet’ side.
[设计说明]: 训练学生泛读能力，旨在让学生了解文章的主要结构。
2. 听说结合，从正反两方面具体分析文章主要内容
(1). Listening for details (Part 1)
Listen to part I, and then answer the following questions.
①What two points does Zhu Zhenfei state?
②What facts support the first point?
③What facts support the second points?

‘Pro-Internet’side	Arguments	Supporting facts	Conclusion
	The Internet’s value for people who arelooking for information.	*Search for information; *Acquire knowledge; *Communicate with experts; *Do a survey.	The Internet remains a positive tool that helps make our lives better.
	The Internet helps tobuild groups and formfriend-ships//social ties.	*Young people form lifelong Internet friendships based on common interests. *The disabled can communicate with the outside world…

 

(2). Task-based reading (Part 2)

Read Part 2 in details and then finish the task-based reading.

‘Con-Internet’side	Arguments	Supporting facts	Conclusion
	(1): The Internet provides uncontrolled / false information.	①Difficult to judge theinformation. ②eBay’s problem with untrue products. ③ Students’ papers with too much false information.	We should eitherlimit our use of the Internet,   or learn how tohandle the problems it has caused
	(2): The Internet affects people’s private lives.	①Some families spendtheir time apart. ②Some young people are addicted to CPU games. ③Internetrelationships damage normal lives.

[设计说明]:该部分在设计的时候，旨在训练学生的听、读能力。虽然在呈现的时候都是通过单一的表格形式，实则另有一番意图。因为这两部分内容分别从正、反两方面对英特网的利弊进行了具体说明。若将两张表格合二为一，从整体上观看，它又是文章的核心主干，脉络清晰、层次分明地展现了英特网在人们日常生活中的双面性，便于学生有层次、详略得当地把握全文。同时，表二的设计参考了当前高考新题型---任务型阅读(要求每空填写不得超过三个单词)，具有时新性和针对性。


Step 3. Reading strategy















[设计说明]：在文章理解的基础上，让学生总结如何阅读一
argument，再结合文后的阅读策略，把握此类型文章的阅读方法。
Step 4. Post-reading
Conclusion
Zhu Zhenfei and Lin Lei had a debate about the pros and cons of internet use. Zhu Zhenfei first analyzed the value for people who are looking for information. He also mentioned the ability to build groups online and form friendships. People can use it to build social ties . Internet friendships can be built based on common interests. With the help of the Internet, the disabled can communicate with the outside world.
But Lin lei lists the negative effects. He thinks the main drawbacks of the Internet are uncontrolled information and the change in the way people spend their time. He thinks that the amount of false information becomes more of a problem. Another disadvantage of the Internet he refers to is that it is affecting people’s private lives.
[设计说明]：这一环节主要是用来考查学生对课文主要内容和一些主要单词的掌握情况，能达到较好的检测效果。
Discussion























[设计说明]：这里的讨论主要是为学生在接下来的辩论进行热身，由教者总结出的英特网的利弊两方面，一来是对学生讨论内容的总结，而来也为学生下面的辩论提供更切实有效的论点论据。
3. Debate

Step 5. Summary
T: How can we make full use of the Internet?
S1: For students, we can use it to search learning resources, and turn to it for help, when we meet some difficulties in our studies. Of course, if you are tired, you can chat with your friends on the Internet, but not all the time. Otherwise, you will be addicted to it.
Step 6. Homework

(14) the ability to build groups online and form friendships
(15) access to up-to-date accurate information
[设计说明]：检查学生对文章内容的掌握情况，以进一步学习下面的具
体语言点。
Step 2. Language study
[设计说明]：根据本课所学的语言材料进行实际的语言运用是十分有意义的。单纯的机械操练只是对语言的感知和理解，并不是在运用语言。只有将学和用真正结合起来，语言学习才会有实际意义。本节课教者就课文中语言知识，对学生进行语言练习，可选用完成句子、选词填空、选择等形式，语言知识的练习往往是机械性的，但也应尽量做到语言练习有意义、情景化，否则易使学生丧失学习兴趣。如本课时笔者针对要点whether 作连词的用法; rather than的结构; will be doing的使用; 含有介词without的虚拟句“Without the Internet, these people would have fewer chances of meeting people.”等安排了一些语言点巩固练习。还有很多任务活动可以设计，比如：（1）Pairs working根据虚拟语气编设简单的情景对话；（2）书面表达练习是阅读课文教学的重头戏。它从另一侧面训练学生运用语言知识和技能来表达思想的能力。在语言知识点学习的基础上，可安排学生根据文中的重要结构来进行写作练习。写的练习要注意两点：①写应立足于说。说是写的基础，写是说的提高，没有口头的言语交际活动，要求作书面表达是不切合实际的。②抓住学生对课文比较熟悉的契机，趁热打铁，布置改写或缩写等练习。这种练习可以作为课内的后续活动，安排学生课下完成。
总之，在传统的阅读课教学中，只追求语言形式的教学，而忽视语言意义的教学，将一段完整的阅读材料分割成若干部分，逐句或逐字地翻译、讲解、对比、引申和分析，将整整一节课的时间全部用在对十几行文字的分析上，这样一来既不利于对语言形式的学习和理解，也不利于学生对语言内容的理解和掌握。笔者想通过一个新教材阅读课教学的一个案例的呈现，和大家一起探讨牛津高中英语新教材阅读课整体教学模式。高中英语阅读课文教学模式是一个循序渐进、有机结合的过程，它既强调教学材料本身的整体性，也强调语言形式和语言意义的统一性；它既强调教学活动的整体性，也强调语言学习和语言运用的有机统一，从而增长学生的知识，开阔视野，激发学习兴趣，培养发展的思维能力。








教学反思：
在高中教学方面，我“遭遇”了新课程改革，这对我来说既是机遇，又是挑战。高中英语新课程改革是一次全面，深刻的改革。它侧重培养学生用英语获取信息，处理信息和传达信息的能力，分析问题和解决问题的能力。为了帮助学生打好高中英语课程的共同基础，教师要鼓励学生通过体验，实践，讨论，合作和探究等方式，发展听，说，读，写的综合语言技能。新课改倡导全人教学，强调课程教学要促进每个学生身心健康的发展，培养学生良好的品质的终身学习的能力；新课改倡导建设性学习，注重科学探究的学习，提倡交流与合作、自主创新学习。而相对于义务教育阶段，高中英语新课程则更强调根据高中学生的认知特点和学习发展需要，进一步发展学生的基本语言运用能力，着重提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息和分析、解决问题的能力，逐步培养学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力，为他们进一步学习和发展创造必要的条件。这对教师的教学能力提出了更高的要求。通过本单元Reading的教学，对该阶段的英语教学有这样一些体会：
1. 根据新课改的要求结合本校学生的实际情况，对单元内容进行筛选。特别是有选择进行口语、听力部分的训练，由于本学校的学生大都来自农村，外面的世界接触少，知识面较窄，对于一些口语话题是知之甚少，本课着重讲的是英特网的利弊，对于校园里的大多是寄宿生而言，接触的较少，因此课堂上要注意一些知识面的拓展。当然，教学过程除了加强学生的知识面外，主要是阅读能力、听说能力和词汇运用能力的培养。阅读方面首先授于技巧，主要是阅读方法的传授。如：略读（Skimming）、查读(Scanning)、精读(Intensive Reading)和策略(Reading strategy)。
2. 切实抓好词汇关。在词汇方面，要求学生每天复习背诵单元的单词，鼓励他们通过音标、构词法等科学地记忆单词，并坚持课前小测；上课时先让学生自己总结，并提出重难点，然后再归纳总结，课后布置相关的配套练习以巩固当天所学的知识。
3. 坚持大部分用英语授课。高中阶段坚持英语授课，对于培养学生的英语思维很重要。授课之初，很多学生会遇到听不懂的现象。开始阶段，对于听不懂的地方可以再次用中文说明，要求并鼓励学生用英语思考问题、回答问题。为了有效培养学生用英语进行思维的能力，我们必须避免“中国式英语”。让学生背诵课文中的精彩句子或书面表达的范文，培养学生使用地道英语进行表达的能力。
4. 狠抓基础关。通过扎实掌握单词、短语等英语基础知识，提高学生的知识运用能力和表达能力。单词、短语是英语学习的基础，也是英语学习的重中之重。学生只有掌握好单词、短语，才能看懂句子和文章，才能连词成句，行文流畅，而没有掌握好单词、短语的学生是很难运用英语的。



附教材内容：
Module 7 Unit 3 THE EFFECTS OF THE INTERNET ON OUR LIVES
The Internet has positive effects on our lives
My name is Zhu Zhenfei and I am speaking for the ‘pro-Internet’ side. That is to say, I believe that the Internet has positive effects on our lives. There are two main points which must be included in any analysis of the Internet and its use. The first is its value for people who are looking for information. The second is the ability to build groups online and form friendships, which the Internet gives us.
When people are in need of information, from current affairs and weather forecasts to travel packages and academic research, the Internet is now the first place that many people turn to. With the touch of a button or the click of a mouse, a student can acquire knowledge from the information held in the largest libraries and museums in the world, whether he or she lives in a small village or downtown in a big city. Internet users can communicate with experts on all sorts of topics, and read articles written by people who are leaders of their fields.
However, some people are sceptical. They claim that the Internet is useless and that using the Internet is a waste of time. They say children spend too much time chatting and playing games instead of focusing on their school work. However, a recent survey done in the USA showed that 80per cent of frequent Internet users use it mainly to search for answers to questions. The second most common use of the Internet, according to 70 per cent of the survey respondents, is to advance knowledge about hobbies. These statistics prove that gathering information is the primary use for the Internet.
Another truly wonderful aspect of the Internet is the way people use it to build social ties. One of the greatest benefits of Internet friendships is that they are based on common interests, rather than appearance, age or popularity. Young people from different backgrounds and different counties can form lifelong friendships. Moreover, people who are disabled and must stay in their homes can communicate with the outside world and meet others with similar interests.
Without the Internet, these people would have fewer chances of meeting people. For these reasons, I believe the Internet remains a positive tool that helps make our lives better.
The Internet has negative effects on our lives
My name is Lin Lei and I will be representing the ‘con’ side of the debate. In my opinion, the Internet has negative effects on our lives. The main drawbacks of the Internet I will address today are uncontrolled information and the change in the way people spend their time.
Of course, access to up-to-date, accurate information is an important thing for anyone who is involved in research. One of the greatest advantages of the Internet is that it provides this information. The disadvantage, though, is that it is difficult to judge whether the information is true and accurate. The amount of false information on the Internet becomes more of a problem every day. This is very troublesome because people can write anything they want, and we cannot always tell if the information is true or not. In 2003, eBay, the famous website where people buy and sell things, said that 70 per cent of their problems were with people who sold things that did not exist, or who lied about the products they were selling. University professors around the world complain that students are handing in papers using false information they found on the Internet. These problems of inaccuracy do not occur as often when people use traditional ways to find information, such as looking in books, newspapers and magazines.
Another disadvantage of the Internet is that it is affecting people’s private lives. As the Internet has gained popularity, there has been a change in the way people spend their time. Now, instead of spending time together in the evenings, some families spend their time apart because one or more members are using the computer, or are at an Internet cafe. In fact, some young people spend so much time playing computer games and using the Internet that they have become addicted to computer games. To help solve this problem, a clinic to deal with Internet addiction was opened in Beijing in 2005.
Some experts say that spending too much time building Internet relationships can damage people’s abilities to live normal lives. One university did a study about the students who had stopped their studies before completing a diploma course, and found that 43 per cent of them were heavy computer users. This study clearly shows that people who spend all their time on the Internet can feel disconnected to the people and the world round them.
These are all negative effects the Internet has on our lives, and I feel it remains important for us either to limit our use of the Internet, or to learn how to handle the problems it has caused.
