牛津高中英语教学设计
单 元：Unit 4 Films and film events
板 块：Reading 1
Thoughts on the design:
本节课是本单元的第二课时，是以读为主的阅读教学课。阅读教学应当着重培养学生获取和处理主要信息的能力，理解文章主旨和作者意图，通过上下文的线索进行推理，所以，设计了由浅入深多项阅读理解题；同时，本单元要求培养学生形成良好的辨认客观观点的阅读策略，所以在题目中也有所体现。
Teaching aims:
1. After learning the reading material Important Film Events around the World, the students will be able to identify a transcript of a television show;
2. After reading, Ss will be able to describe different film festivals around the world;
3. After learning the reading strategy, Ss will be able to identify objective views;
4. After reading the passage, Ss will be interested in searching for more knowledge about films.
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Lead-in (PPT 5-11)
Check the homework. (Ask Ss to surf the Internet or refer to some relevant books to find background information about film events around the world and their favorite directors or films.)
(PPT5) Can you name some famous film festivals held around the world? Where are they held?
(PPT6) The Cannes Film Festival is in France. (PPT7) The Berlin International Film Festival is in Germany. (PPT8) The Venice Film Festival is in Italy. (PPT9) The Toronto International Film Festival is in Canada. (PPT10) The Tokyo International Film Festival is in Japan. (PPT11) The Shanghai International Film Festival is in China.
[Explanation]
因为课前布置学生上网或查资料，了解全球重要的电影节，所以学生可以说出一些，准备的相应的幻灯片是为帮助学生产生更形象具体的映像。
Step 2 Fast Reading (PPT12）:
How many film festival representatives appeared on the show?
(Six.)
At which festival are you not likely to find Hollywood films?
(The Sundance Film Festival.)
[Explanation]
利用课本资源，让学生回答第50页A的1、3两个问题，训练学生快速获取信息的能力；第二个问题因在导入部分已经解决了，所以此处不重复处理。
