　　【教学设计】

　　一、学情分析

　　到目前为止，我们的学生已学了7个思维工具（PMI, CAF,APC,OPV,AGO,C&S和FIP），并能比较熟练地运用这些工具分析问题，构建思维导图。The History of Ballet，是学生比较感兴趣的话题，学生通过对Ballet历史背景的瞭解，对当前的现状，对未来的情况的分析，学会如何用英语表达这样的话题。

　　二、教学课型：写作课

　　三、教学内容

　　The History of Ballet，是学生比较感兴趣的话题，而且学生能用一定的相关的词彚和短语来表达，然后完成约150词的短文。

　　四、教学目标： 

　　（1）知识目标：复习并熟练使用与dance有关的表达方法。 

　　（2）能力目标：通过对Ballet历史背景分析，引导学生利用CAF工具全面分析问题的能力。通过对其影响的分析，培养学生利用PMI工具的能力。  （3）情感目标：瞭解芭蕾舞的历史，使学生得到文化的熏陶。

　　五、教学资料准备 Module 7 P27 , P98 Layout

　　六、教学重点与难点

　　用五句话约110词完成写作任务。

　　七、教学过程

　　  Step1.首先学生阅读有关芭蕾舞的背景知识材料与图片。

　　Ballet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changed.  Ballet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens, as well as other nobility, to participate in pageants that included music, poetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones, court ladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement, they were able to perform elaborate walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their skirts, changed to flat shoes, and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men.  It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France, himself a devoted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the late 1700s another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.  Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the mid-1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company, the Ballets Russees, brought a new energy and excitement to ballet. One of his chief assistants, George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.

　　  Step 2.  基础落实

　　（1）根据本节课的学习目标（课程标准），对该写作内容进行适当解读，学生利用感知思维工具(AGO和CAF)和创造性思维聚焦（范围、目标）工具对学习的内容进行适当归纳。（小组合作完成）

　　课程标准与学习目标为：瞭解怎样用英语表达芭蕾舞的起源；现状，及发展，怎样说明理由；怎样过渡等。

　　写作内容基本要求：

　　假如你校本学期开设了一门新的选修课程—芭蕾舞，请根据以下信息为学生介绍芭蕾舞。

　　起源芭蕾舞历史悠久，起源于法国。

　　当今代表作品及优秀舞者最著名的芭蕾舞是俄罗斯的“Swan Lake”. 张镇新,中国最优秀的青年舞蹈演员之一

　　未来发展趋势

　　你的看法和建议

　　学生运用AGO与CAF工具构建文章的基本框架。

　　图1文章基本框架

　　（2）互助小组合作学习。利用CAF工具对观点与理由的具体内容进行分析归纳。C层学生代表上台展示，A层同学上台点评、讲解。

　　以芭蕾舞的背景知识为例，导图基本结构如下

　　图2芭蕾舞介绍

　　① Writing about origins:

　　Since earliest times,…/ Ballet has its roots back in…/

　　The age of ballet began in…/ The history of ballet goes back to…

　　The first performance of modern ballet took place in…/

　　Over… years ago,…

　　Ballet has a long history…

　　② Writing about the present:

　　Recently, there has been renewed interest in…/

　　Recent developments in the field include…/

　　Other exciting developments have been…/

　　One of the most ground –breaking…/

　　State of the art technology has been used…/

　　Cutting edge techniques have been introduced…

　　 ③ Writing about the future:

　　The outlook is bright./The outlook is gloomy/

　　The future looks rosy/The future looks grim./

　　Who knows what will happen in the future, but../

　　Many experts predict that… / Some forecasts predict…

　　The field of… has enormous potential./ The sky’s the limit.

　　Step 3：思维提高

　　课堂小结：今天我们学习了怎样用5句话来表达不同的观点及其理由；属同一意群的要点，可用一句话表达，若内容材料复杂，可用两个句子表达。两句之间如果有并列，递进，因果等间关系的，可用相关关联词，合为一句表达。依照一定顺序来排列信息点，并列顺序，时间顺序，空间顺序，逻辑顺序等。哪些方面做得比较好，哪些方面还有待提高。这些可以PMI，AGO,CAF工具进行总结。

　　图3写作时要注意的事项

　　Talkback

　　Work in groups. Read each other’s articles. Then tell your group members:

　　What (for you) is the most interesting information in his/her article？

　　What information is not so interesting for you？

　　If any part of the article is not very clear or difficult to understand…

　　八、教学反思

　　在英语课堂教学中采用小组合作、思维训练的方式，能充分发挥学生的主体地位，调动他们学习的积极性。但从本节课反应的情况来看，在以下几点上仍需改进。

　　首先，思维训练的力度仍需加强。课堂上采用合作学习的方式，其目的还是为了发展学生的素养，为了提升学生的思维能力。在目前这种情况下，部分学生仍存在“等、要、靠”的思想，思维的主动性不够，有强烈的依赖思想。展示只能是部分同学去，而其他同学如果没有任务，就坐在座位上发呆，或者聊天，一副事不关己高高挂起的样子，教师必须采用适当的方法与措施，激发他们的思维活动。

　　其次，课堂效率尚待提高。教学环节必须更加紧凑，学生的讨论、展示、点评等环节，教师要加强指导，要强化时间意识，在规定的时间内学生需要完成每一个不同的环节，以免影响下一个环节。

　　最后，课堂教学需要适当拓展知识。如果能够提供更多背景知识，甚至是某次晚会的芭蕾舞表演，使学生有身临其境之感，其思维活动会更加活跃。
