1、NSE 8AModule 3 Journey to space一、教材内容分析 本模块以人类探索宇宙的行为为背景引入现在完成时的用法，通过人类对宇宙太空所做努力的描述强化现在完成时的表意功能，开展听说读写教学活动。教学内容为语法的学习和使用提供了必要的感性材料。本模块的中心话题是介绍航天知识，着重介绍了火星探索方案以及宇宙中太阳系的局部知识。要求学生能够了解一点航天知识，学会利用现在完成时描述人类已经实施的太空探索方案。二、学情分析在前一个模块“Experiences的学习中，学生初步掌握了利用现在完成时态谈论旅游、看电影、看书等经历，学习了现在完成时的一般疑问句及肯定、否认的答复方法。在本模
2、块中，学生将继续学习yet, already, just等词在现在完成时态中的用法及have been to与 have gone to之间的区别。人类探索宇宙，是否真的存在外星人，太空旅行这些一直都是学生们非常感兴趣的话题，学生会觉得有话可说。但是在讨论这一话题时将涉及较多的专有名词，学生掌握的难度较大。所以如果教材内容处理不当，会导致学生有话想说，却无法用英语来表达的为难场面。因此在具体安排教学内容时，应注意适当降低难度与要求，通过开展生动有趣的活动将航天知识深入浅出的传授给学生。三、教学目标国家英语课程标准指出，教学的开展应该激发和培养学生学习英语的兴趣，使学生树立自信心，养成良好的学习
3、习惯和形成有效的学习策略，开展自主学习的能力和合作精神。在教学过程中要努力培养学生的观察、记忆、思维、想象能力和创新精神。依据这些要求，我制订了本模块的教学目标：1语言技能目标（1）能够听懂对火星方案的陈述。（2）能够介绍人类对太空的探索经历。（3）能够读懂有关太空话题的文章，掌握文章的大意。（4）能够结合图片、录像等手段介绍对太空所进行的探索。2语言知识目标（1）能够运用现在完成时描述人类的太空探索方案，正确使用already, just, yet。（2）能够正确使用以下单词：earth, just, station, latest, month, discover, show, over,
4、 also, part（3）能够理解以下单词和词组：Mars, mission, unmanned, space shuttle, space station, billion, solar system, universe, galaxy, Jupiter（4）能够掌握和识别句子的重音3情感态度目标（1）通过开展生动活泼的教学活动，激发学生的学习兴趣。（2）在小组活动中积极与他人合作，相互帮助，共同完成学习任务, 尽情享受学习的乐趣。4文化意识目标（1）通过中国“神州五号、“神州六号载人航天太空探索增强民族意识和自豪感。（2）让学生了解一些航天知识，空间站的生活情况，九大行星的根本情况及适合
5、人类生存的根本条件等，实现跨学科交流的目的。5学习策略目标（1）自主学习 能够结合个人情况预习教材和拓展。（2）合作学习 能够与同学交流学习心得体会，共享学习策略。（3）能利用网上学习资源查找信息，用所学内容进行真实的交际，积极参与课外英语学习。（4）通过合作讨论、游戏、竞赛、单词联想等多种形式，实现在用中学、为用而学、学用结合、学而能用的原那么。四、重点难点1教学重点（1）重点词汇：earth, just, station, latest, month, discover, show, over, also, part, light, real, already, yet, several,

Then ask students to work in groups of four. Try to think out more related words like: earth, scientists, stars

12、的两个问题，很自然的将讨论的话题由登月过渡到火星探索方面，由此引出了接下来的内容，起到承上启下的衔接作用。另外，这些问题的设置很自然的引出该堂课的重点句型：Have they yet Yes, they have just / already. No, not yet. / No, they havent yet.）Step 2 Listening (Activities 1 & 2)1. Tell students to listen to a piece of news about the travel mission to Mars and find the answer to the
13、question “Have they discovered life on Mars yet and finish Activity 1: Listen and number the words as you hear them.2. Listen again and finish Activity 2: Check the true sentences.（设计说明：本活动为听力根本能力训练，是一种听力输入理解活动。听力的相关内容对火星探索方案作了简单的介绍，为学生能更好的理解下一环节中的对话内容作了铺垫。）Step 3 Listening and reading (Activities 3
14、, 4, 5)1. Tell students Da Mings friend Tony has made a model of a space station, and now they are talking about the model. Ask students to listen and read the dialogues, then try to answer three questions: . Has the spacecraft to Mars arrived yet . Have many astronauts been to the moon recently . H
15、ow do the astronauts go back to the earth from the space station2. Ask students to read the dialogue again and finish Activities 4 and 5.3. Students read after the tape and then act out the dialogue.（设计说明：通过这一环节的学习，学生们对火星探索方案的了解更为透彻了。而朗读与表演对话那么能使教学内容得到进一步的稳固与提高。）Step 4 Tasks (Activity 6)1. Show students a video and some pictures of space stations, and introduce the basic structures of a space station. Then ask students to discuss in groups of four to
