普通高中课程标准实验教科书《英语》电子课本 Book 3 Unit 1 Festivals around the world B3U1P1-3 FESTIV ALS AND CELEBRATIONS Ancient Festivals Festivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere. The most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Other celebrations were held when hunters could catch animals. They would starve if food was difficult to find, so they celebrated when they had food. They lit fires and made music because they thought these festivals would bring a year of plenty. Festivals of the Dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead, or satisfy and please the ancestors, who could return either to help or to do harm. In Japan the festival is called Obon, when people should go to clean the graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico they have the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people might eat food in shape of skulls, and cakes with “bones” on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The festival of Halloween had its origin as an event in memory of the dead. It is now a children’s festival, when they can go to their neighbours’ homes and ask for sweets. They dress up and try to frighten people. If they are not given anything, the children might play a trick. Festivals to Honour People Festivals can be held as an honour to famous people or to the gods. One of these is the Dragon Boat Festival in China, which honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. Another is Columbus Day in the USA, in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America. In India there is a national festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain. Harvest Festivals Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter ,and because a season of agricultural work is over. In European countries it is the custom to decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and people get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their animals, flowers, fruits and vegetables, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. In China and Japan there are mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and give gift of mooncakes. Spring Festivals The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat, and may give children lucky money in the red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the lunar New Year together. In some Western countries there are very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. They might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival in Christian countries. It celebrates the return of Jesus for Christians and it also celebrates the coming of spring. In Japan, the Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country is covered with cherry tree flowers so that it looks as though it might be covered with pink snow. People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each others. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our daily life for a little while.

Unit 1 Festivals around the world FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events. Festivals of the dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps and play music because they think that will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November.

These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of al kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan’s Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.

人教版高一英语必修一说课稿集合 Unit 1 Friendship说课稿 各位老师： 大家好！ 我是XX号考生XX，来自XX。我今天所说的课题是高中一年级英语上册第1单元friendship. 我说课的内容包括五部分，包括教材分析，学生分析，教学方法，教学过程和板书设计。 1.教材内容分析 今天我说课的内容是高一英语必修1第一单元friendship的reading部分的学习，本单元的中心话题是friendship，本话题对学生来说比较熟悉，让学生能在与之相关的听说读写活动中有话可说、有情可表。课文是犹太女孩安妮的一篇日记，描述了自己对大自然的渴望，比较抽象。课文内容难易适中，学生学习起来难度不大。高一的学生刚入学不久，渴望与同学之间的了解、沟通，建立新的友谊。作为教师引导他们建立正确的交友观显得十分重要，因此学习这篇文章意义重大。 2、教学目标分析 新课标提出了立体三维教学目标，本课我设计的教学目标如下： 1）知识目标： 熟悉本课的一些新单词和短语—outdoors, spellbound, entirely, go through, set down, a series of, on purpose, face to face, in order to,etc，语
法方面掌握直接引语和间接引语的用法及其之间的转换，以及他们的陈述句与疑问句形式。 2）能力目标： 训练学生的阅读技巧（略读、寻读等），形成用英语获取信息、处理分析信息的能力。并鼓励学生开口说英语。 3）情感态度目标： ①通过讨论友谊激发学生对英语学习的浓厚兴趣； ②使学生了解友谊的深层内涵，帮助他们树立正确的价值观和处事原则； ③通过对课文学习的小组讨论等形式，帮助学生养成团结、协作的品质。 3、教学重点、难点： 1）教学重点：①让学生熟悉与本话题相关的一些重点单词、短语。 ②提高学生的阅读能力，掌握多种阅读方法，如寻读，精读，理解等。 2）教学难点：对阅读中所获取的信息进行加工学习，形成有效的学习 策略。鼓励学生开口说英语。 二、学生分析 高一年级的学生已经在初中阶段的英语学习中,已经积累了一定的词汇 基础,并掌握了一些简单的学习策略和技巧,具有初步的英语听说读写能力。 但学生的英语水平参差不齐，教学既要进一步培养尖子的学习能力又要保证能力稍弱的学生能听懂，调动他们的积极性，使他们愿意学，在学习的过程中享受到乐趣。虽然对英语有一定的兴趣但其学习主动性仍有待提高，未能积极主动地通过其他渠道获取信息，自主学习、探究学习的能力还有待于提高。本节课的话题较贴近生活，可以引导学生在原有的知识经验基础上通过合作探究学习构建新的知识经验和信息输入。
