概要：The purpose of this activity is to stimulate the students’ interest and naturally lead to the reading passage.Step 2 pre—readingActivity: look and guessThe students will be asked to just glance at the title and the two pictures in the book, and then guess what they will read in the text. And they’ll be divided into groups of four to have a discussion.This activity is to inspire the students to read actively, not passively. Surveys show that active reading can raise
高中英语说课稿：《Women of Achievement》,标签：说课稿,http://www.85jc.comStep 3 reading
Activity 1 scanning
The students are required to scan the text quickly and find out specific information of the following questions.
1 who is the student?
2 what animals are observed?
3 when did Jane Goodall arrive at Gombe? How old was she?
4 what was the purpose of her study?
By doing this activity, the students can improve their reading skill—scanning. And they can get the two lines of the whole passage, the main line—student, and the hidden line—wildlife. It builds a solid base for the latter reading comprehension.
Activity 2 skimming
The students are asked to skim the text quickly and summarize the main idea of each paragraph.
By doing this, I can train the students’ reading skill—skimming. And before their skimming, I’ll remind them to find out the topic sentence of each paragraph.
Activity 3 careful reading
For paragraph 1: Video watching and completing a diagram
Get the students to watch a short video of Jane’s research with chimps.
This paragraph is a description of what Jane and her partners did in the forest. The video can turn the description in words into images. So it seems as if the students themselves went into the forest. Then a diagram will be shown to the students. It contains the main actions of the chimps. They have to complete it. By these two changes, the students can master the important words, phrases and sentences better.
For paragraphs 2-3: Retelling job
These two paragraphs are relatively long, so the students may have difficulties in classifying the content. Therefore I divided all the sentences into 3 aspects, that is, Jane’s difficulties, her discoveries and her contributions. According to the key words, they have to retell it.
By doing this activity, I can train the students’ language organizing ability to meet the demands of the new curriculum.
For paragraph 4: Question answering
It is a short summary to Jane and implies that women can do what they want to do as men. This paragraph is relatively short and easy to understand. So the questions are fairly easy and will be offered to the less talented students.
Step 4 post—reading
I designed 2 activities.
Activity 1: multiple choice questions
These questions are to help the students get a better understanding of the text. Some of them are about details, and some of them are inferences. Inference questions are more difficult. So I will give them to the top students, and the easier ones to less talented students. Therefore all the students can have the chance to participate in the class activities and achieve the pleasure of learning English. Thus task-based teaching method is used here.
Activity 2: qualities and looking for relevant sentences
It is an activity to consolidate what they have learnt in the class. Traditionally, a blank-filling task is often used in this step, but it is a passive activity. In order to get the students to learn actively, I designed this activity. Just get the students to look at the title and think about “what kind of student Jane is”. They will say many words, like hard-working, brave and so on. Then ask them to find out the sentences from which we can see these qualities. To do this job, the students have to read the whole passage more carefully again, and they will get a deeper impression of the language structure. Here students-centered teaching method is used.
