Book 7 Module 3 Literature教学反思
Book 7 Module 3 Literature教学反思作者：任贵斌来源：《中学教学参考·文综版》2015年第02期[摘要]外语课堂教学既是一个掌握外语的认知过程，也是一个激励情意的过程。
教学设计要充分考虑到学生的动机、兴趣等。
课堂教学应以学生为中心，以能力为中心，因材施教。
[关键词]英语课堂教学教后反思[中图分类号]G633.41[文献标识码]A[文章编号]16746058（2015）040049在2011—2012学年第二学期区优质课评选活动中，我讲的是高中英语外研版选修第七册第三模块——Literature。
通过这节课，我认识到自己教学中的亮点，同时也发现了几点不足之处。
外语课堂教学既是一个掌握外语的认知过程，也是一个激励情意的过程。
课堂教学中的情意因素包括动机、兴趣、态度、气质、性格和良好的习惯等。
学生在学习、掌握外语的过程中伴随着传递情意的活动，学习外语和交流情意相互间紧密联系，相互促进，组成一个整体。
一、教学步骤我在课堂的设计过程中，充分考虑到学生的动机、兴趣等。
1.导入，注重兴趣，激起学生的求知欲。
课堂导入，是课堂教学的一个重要组成部分，而这部分必须成为其他部分最自然、最恰当和最精彩的开端。
常言道，好的开始是成功的一半，课堂导入好，可以让学生的思维在碰撞中产生智慧的火花，消除其他课程的延续思维或心理杂念的干扰，把学生的注意力迅速集中起来，使他们饶有兴趣地投入到新的学习情境中去，提高学习效率；反之，如果导入失败或者学生对课堂导入的反应效果不佳，则会大大降低本节课的课堂效率。
我通过大家都很熟悉的电影《西游记》和《远大前程》导入课题，激发学生听课的兴趣。
首先，我问学生是否看过这两部电影。
这个问题很容易回答，同学们都能回答上来。
显而易见，大家对《西游记》这部电影都很熟悉，同时，大部分同学也熟悉《远大前程》。
从而，由大家熟悉的电影引出本课要讲的主题——文学。
由此，对于主题的导入就很容易了。

Often it's the charmingly old-fashioned bookshops that provide the perfect excuse to read uninterruptedly and to disconnect from the world. Until recently, the trend for fine coffee and high-speed Wi-Fi was considered by some in the city's bookish crowd to be ruining London's centuries-old tradition of disconnected reading.But a crop of bookshops is fighting against crazy online engagement and is creating environments where the real-life, Internet-free book reading is the most effective way to expand your social and professional networks. Leading the fighting is Libreria Books, which is in the company of Tenderbooks, Buchhandlung Wakther, Lutyens&Rubinstein etc., all independent bookshops without high-speed Wi-Fi and coffee.Mr Silva of Libreria was inspired to open his shop after experiencing a common suffering for London's book-lovers—the repeated ringtones of smart phones ruining the peace of his bookshop experience. He wanted to get people reading without interruption. He said,“You can get Wi-Fi anywhere now, but it's not necessary in a bookshop.”Their mantra(原则) has drawn a wise, brainy crowd. The bookshop should be an escape from an information overload. “ If someone gets a phone call, they leave the shop. It's the same with the Internet—people just know this isn't the space for being online,” said Tamsin Clark, owner of Tenderbooks. And in the face of the Internet overload, some stores are proving to be among London's hottest places.Mr Silva said “an old-fashioned space” is clearly appealing to book-lovers. He said his shop has had twice as many customers as expected, with visitors from as far as Australia and China. Faced with a bookshelf recommended by the Queen or surrounded by first editions, who wants to download a morning full of e-mails?21. What would literary tourists like to find in an old-fashioned bookshop?A.Peaceful reading time.B.Social networks.C.High-speed Wi-Fi.D.Free coffee.22. Why did Mr Silva of Libreria decide to open his own bookshop?A.He saw the trend of running bookshops.B.He aimed at banning Wi-Fi in bookshops.C.He was inspired by other bookshop owners.D.He had an unpleasant reading in a bookshop.23. What do London's bookish crowd think of the Internet-free bookshops?A.Outdated.B.Attractive.C.Fashionable.D.Professional.24. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?A.You can still work efficiently.B.E-mails keep coming in all morning.C.People prefer reading to being connected.D.People have no access to downloading e-mails.Ⅵ.完形填空I remember the first day when I saw Sally playing basketball.I watched in wonder as she struggled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground.She seemed so 25,but she managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net.The boys always tried to stop her 26 nobody could.I began to notice Sally at other times,basketball in hand,playing 27.She practised dribbling(运球) and 28 over and over.One day I asked Sally why she 29 so much.Without a moment of hesitation she said,“I want to go to college.The only way I can go is to get a 30.I'm going to play college basketball and I want to be the best one.I believe that if I am 31 enough,I will get one.My father has told me that if the dream is big enough,the facts don't 32.”I 33 her through those junior high years and into high school.Every week,she led her team to34.One day in her senior year,I saw her sitting on the grass,her head 35 in her arms.Slowly and quietly,I walked36 and sat down beside her.“What's wrong?”I asked.“Oh,nothing,”came a soft reply,“I amjust too short.”The 37 told her that at 165cm she would probably never play for a top team—still less she would be 38 a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college.I felt she was extremely 39.I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.She told me that her father said those coaches were 40.They didn't understand the 41 of a dream.The next year,Sally was seen by a college basketball coach after a big game.She was 42 offered a scholarship and 43 to the college team.She was going to get the college education that she had 44and worked towards for all those years.It's true:if the dream is big enough,the facts don't count.25.A.silent B.smallC.strongD.huge26.A.but B.andC.soD.for27.A.still B.againC.wellD.alone28.A.passing B.runningC.shootingD.struggling29.A.studied B.practisedC.expectedD.improved30.A.title B.prizeC.scholarshipD.reward31.A.good B.braveC.carefulD.activeck B.talkC.appearD.count33.A.encouraged B.respectedC.watchedD.helped34.A.victory B.confidenceC.responsibilityD.profession35.A.dropped B.buriedC.coveredD.sunk36.

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. __1__Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as “March Madness”，refers to the yearly 65-team US men's college basketball tournament (锦标赛). __2__Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. __3__Colleagues against bosses.Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. __4__College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. __5__ About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post-season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A．Husbands against wives.B．The players will go all out for the games.C．But that doesn't mean money isn't involved.D．College students will ignore piles of homework.E．People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F．It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G．Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.答案：1-5DFAGCⅡ.阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

unproductive when they no longer work. ____2_____In addition, they may feel

live in big cities, they often worry about their safety.

working and raising families. They now have time to enjoy hobbies and sports and to
