For example,zippers are very useful, but they are forgotten.Almost none of us know who invented them. Do youthink so? Do you think it is important to know howthings were invented?If you want to invent something, you need to trainyourself to have creative thinking to think aboutthem in a different way based on the presentthings.Now let’s do some riddles to see how clever youare?1) What is it that Adam has none Eve has two andeveryone has three?2) What is it that the dead eat and that the livingwould die if they ate?3) What is it that you use your head to your toes and the more it works the thinner it gets?4) What is it that is not an airplane but moves through the sky not a river but is full of water?

人教修订版高二英语下Unit 18 InventionsReading教案一、本节课的教学指导思想本节课的设计力求体现新课标的基本理念“提供多种选择,适应个性需求;优化学习方式,提高自主学习能力。
”根据本节课教材内容和学生的实际情况,教师制作了网页,学生通过在网页上浏览查找并完成教师所设置的任务。
这一学习过程以学生自主学习为主,以教师的辅导为辅,改变了传统的由教师单方向灌输知识的教学模式,目的在于调动学生的学习愿望,鼓励所有不同层次学生的积极参与。
在通过大量关于发明的音像,文字资料的学习后,在教师的鼓励下,学生以小组为单位,进行生活小发明的创意与介绍。
这种竞赛活动可以激发学生的创造力和想象力;另外通过展示、介绍自己的发明,学生可以将所学知识和所学语言结合起来进行实践,既能巩固知识又能提高口头表达能力,从而学生的自信心及学习英语的兴趣得到了提高。
二、教材分析及学情分析1.教材资源的调整与整合本节课的主题是“发明”,看似很抽象,很深奥,但实则与生活密切相关。
教材上所涉及的听力与阅读文章内容都不错:但两段听力内容很相似,问题比较单一。
就此,教师增加了听力填词的题型,并设置听力II.为选做题,鼓励层次较高的同学积极参与,又保护了学习有困难的学生的学习热情。
而阅读文章较长,且比较难读,由于本节课的重心不是培养学生的阅读难懂文章的能力,而是学习此文介绍的创造性思维策略,所以教师降低了这篇文章的难度,选用了教参上的同样内容的一篇文章,使阅读环节轻松进行,为下一个教学环节奠定基础。
教师利用网络与图书馆资源,尽其可能地丰富课堂资源,整合教材内容,为学生在教师所搭建的资源网站上自主学习搭建一个平台。
2.学生情况分析所带班级为理科普通班,学生的英文水平参差不齐。
为了鼓励全部学生都积极参与到课堂活动中,同时培养他们的团队合作精神,教师一方面按学生自愿进行分组,每组5-6人,另一方面,在分配学习任务时,注重学习任务的层次性与选择性。
