适用对象 初二
设计思路 我执教的Schools in America and Britain这篇阅读是新世纪英语教材八年级下册第三单元的一篇阅读材料。这篇阅读材料比较抽象，对于英美学校的对比介绍做得比较笼统。老师希望通过这节阅读课，帮助学生通过对文本的理解，对英美学校有进一步具体的了解。我所呈现的10分钟视频是这节课的一个片段，是while-reading部分的开始，首先请学生阅读全文，给文章拟一个适合的标题，培养学生的概括能力。然后进入精读第一部分——对美国学校的介绍。

Recently I have read a passage and found a lot of information from it.
Now I’ll hand out the reading material to you.
First, read the passage.

自我教学反思 结合教研组本学期所开展的阅读教学课堂有效性探索这一主题，我开展了一节题为Schools in America and Britain的公开教学课，旨在探索如何运用有效策略，加强学生文本理解这一教研难题。
一、成功之处
1、能落实教学目标
2、运用了轻松的对话式教学和学生开展讨论，有效的激活学生对学校各方面的已有知识。
3、提问时能注重问题设计的难易程度，由浅入深，逐步助推并加深学生对文本的理解，避免理解只停留在字句的表层。
4、在对词汇的处理上，强调基于学生的已有知识上进行引入、解释并鼓励学生通过运用来理解。
5、注重阅读技巧的培养，如找段落主题句，找支撑主题句的细节，推断字里行间的作者的隐含意义等。从而引导学生在阅读中，锻炼思维过程。
6、指令清晰有条理能及时对学生的回答作出反馈并就话题进行深入探讨。
二、不足之处
1、在英美学校的对比表格中，对于信息提炼还需做到更精确，帮助学生更好地理解文本。
2、在post reading这一环节中，我设计了一个小组活动，第一个任务是让学生讨论并决定选择三或四个方面，第二个任务是让学生根据自己选定的几个方面，做具体介绍，在教学预设中，我希望能够达成通过活动加深文本理解的目的。但是实际操作下来，学生的输出较为死板，语言的灵活性较差，因此在读后活动的有效性上我会进一步加强研究。
