英语选修8人教版新课标Unit 2阅读教案Unit 2 Cloning: Where isit leading us?中国书法艺术说课教案今天我要说课的题目是中国书法艺术，下面我将从教材分析、教学方法、教学过程、课堂评价四个方面对这堂课进行设计。

一、教材分析：本节课讲的是中国书法艺术主要是为了提高学生对书法基础知识的掌握，让学生开始对书法的入门学习有一定了解。

书法作为中国特有的一门线条艺术，在书写中与笔、墨、纸、砚相得益彰，是中国人民勤劳智慧的结晶，是举世公认的艺术奇葩。

早在5000年以前的甲骨文就初露端倪，书法从文字产生到形成文字的书写体系，几经变革创造了多种体式的书写艺术。

1、教学目标：使学生了解书法的发展史概况和特点及书法的总体情况，通过分析代表作品，获得如何欣赏书法作品的知识，并能作简单的书法练习。

2、教学重点与难点：（一）教学重点了解中国书法的基础知识，掌握其基本特点，进行大量的书法练习。

（二）教学难点：如何感受、认识书法作品中的线条美、结构美、气韵美。

3、教具准备：粉笔，钢笔，书写纸等。

4、课时：一课时二、教学方法：要让学生在教学过程中有所收获，并达到一定的教学目标，在本节课的教学中，我将采用欣赏法、讲授法、练习法来设计本节课。

（1）欣赏法：通过幻灯片让学生欣赏大量优秀的书法作品，使学生对书法产生浓厚的兴趣。

（2）讲授法：讲解书法文字的发展简史，和形式特征，让学生对书法作进一步的了解和认识，通过对书法理论的了解，更深刻的认识书法，从而为以后的书法练习作重要铺垫！（3）练习法：为了使学生充分了解、认识书法名家名作的书法功底和技巧，请学生进行局部临摹练习。

三、教学过程：（一）组织教学让学生准备好上课用的工具，如钢笔，书与纸等;做好上课准备，以便在以下的教学过程中有一个良好的学习气氛。

（二）引入新课，通过对上节课所学知识的总结，让学生认识到学习书法的意义和重要性！（三）讲授新课1、在讲授新课之前，通过大量幻灯片让学生欣赏一些优秀的书法作品，使学生对书法产生浓厚的兴趣。

NEW SENIOR ENGLISH FOR CHINASTUDENT’S BOOK 8Unit 2 Cloning: where is it leading us?Good afternoon, judges! Today I’ll talk about Cloning: where is it leading us? It’s a pleasure to share my teaching plan with all of you here. My teaching plan is made up of seven parts. They are ….A. The analysis of the teaching material：This is the second teaching period of this unit. The central part is the reading text with the name of Cloning: where is it leading us? It talks about what is cloning, the uses of cloning and different ideas about cloning. The aim of Reading is to introduce students the procedure of cloning and the life of Dolly the sheep.B. The analysis of the students’ learning：Although students have learned something about cloning in biology class, they still have difficulty in understanding the text Cloning: where is it leading us? In some sense, the topic is difficult for students. So we should help thestudents learn more about it by using different ways.C. Teaching Aims:1. Knowledge aims:To learn about some facts and views about cloning and know how the information is organized.2. Ability aim:To train students’ reading ability by skimming and scanning the passage.To talk about what we should do to deal with cloning properly.3. Emotional aims:To realize the benefit of cloning and the harm of cloning.To develop students’ sense of cooperative learning.D. Teaching Important and Difficult points: Teaching important point:To learn about and describe cloning. Teaching difficult point:To help the students express differentopinions about cloning.E.
