  (一)主题任务(Core tasks)

  根据本单元的中心主题,建议设计以下主题任务。

  美国文学手册

  活动时间:在学完本单元之后

  活动形式:个人活动、小组活动、全班活动

  语言知识要求:本单元词汇和日常交际用语

  语言技能要求:听、说、读、写

  活动过程:

  1.选择内容。所要编写的手册为“美国文学”专辑。活动步骤如下:

  1)把全班分成几个小组,每个小组选择一个方面的内容进行研究;

  2)小组的每个成员围绕小组的中心内容,自己选择表现形式,搜集并整理有关信息;

  3)在小组范围内交流有关内容,相互间提出修改意见并做适当修改。

  2.选择栏目。例如:

  1)文学主题:American Indians,Slavery,Pioneers,the American Civil War等;

  2)原著节选:诗歌、小说、戏剧等;

  3)电影欣赏:Gone with the Wind, The old Man and the Sea等;

  4)著名作家:Dudley Randall,Jack London, Mark Twain,Ernest Hemingway等。

  3.编辑制作:

  1)每组选择一个代表向全班通报该组的进展情况,汇报内容包括:搜集到的主要内容(提纲或题目)、采取的主要形式等;

  2)通过交流和讨论,把各组内容在全班范围内分类整合。根据形式与内容,决定所出手册的辑数。每辑都必须内容丰富,形式多样。

  3)参与同一辑的同学为一组,讨论版式、标题,并进行分工,其中有一人担任主编,一人担任美编,所有同学都要参与抄写或打印;

  4)在全班进行美国文学手册评比。

  (二)热身(Warming up)

  该部分教学要注意以下几个方面:

  1.诵读。要求学生反复朗诵该诗,甚至可以要求学生背诵。熟话说得好,“书读三遍,其义自现”。要求学生诵读时注意节奏,体会韵味。

  2.理解关键词。诗中的the Old Country,kings

  and queens,common people,pigs等指的是什么?诗人为何不用take,而用steal,妙在何处?

  3.体会心情。该诗表达了诗人什么样的心情?是自豪,愤怒,还是悲伤?要求学生细细品味,说明理由。

  4.展开联想。要求学生讲述童话中的国王或王子的故事。理解诗人在最后一节所用的比喻的含义和意境。

  5.丰富阅读。教师可以提供,也可以让有条件的学生利用图书或网络资源,阅读更多的达德利•兰德尔的诗。例如:

  BALLAD OF BIRMINGHAM

  In the Ballad of Birmingham,Randall conjures one of the most vivid and vicious chapters from the civil rights movement:the bombing of a church in 1963 that wounded 21 and killed four girls.The poem begins with a dialogue between a mother and her daughter during which,ironically,the mother forbids the daughter to march for freedom,fearing that street violence will erupt.Instead,she gives permission for the daughter to sing in the children’s choir at their church.How could the mother know,of course,that the streets,that day, might have offered some relative safety? The tragedy,a central feature of many ballads,becomes especially clear and sad at the end,when the mother searches for her missing daughter.The poem can speak for itself:

  “Mother dear.may I go downtown

  instead of out to play,

  and march the streets of Birmingham

  in a Freedom March today?”

  “No,baby,no,you may not go,

  for the dogs are fierce and wild,

  and clubs and hoses,guns and jails

  ain’t good for a little child.”

  “But,mother,I won’t be alone.

  Other children will go with me,

  and march the streets of Birmingham

  to make our country free.”

  “No,baby,no,you may not go,

  for I fear those guns will fire.

  But you may go to church instead

  and sing in the children's choir.”

  She has combed and brushed her night dark hair,

  and bathed rose petal sweet,

  and drawn white gloves on her small brown hands,

  and white shoes on her feet.

  The mother smiled to know her child

  was in the sacred place,

  but that smile was the last smile

  to come upon her face.

  For when she heard the eXPlosion,

  her eyes grew wet and wild.

  She raced through the streets of Birmingham

  calling for her child.

  She clawed through bits of glass and brick,

  then lifted out a shoe.

  “O,here’s the shoe my baby wore.

  but,baby,where are you?”

  (三)听力(Listening)

  该部分教学注意做好以下几个方面的铺垫:

  1.从学生提高英语口语能力的方法入手,交流各自的做法和心得,讨论这些方法的优势和不足;

  2.设想英语阅读俱乐部的活动内容,与学生曾经采用过的方法进行比较;

  3.讨论文学作品的形式,以及他们在英语学习中的作用;

  4.列举实例帮助学生理解short stories,detective stories,adapted novels和classical literature;

  5.介绍杰克•伦敦和马克•吐温。

  (四)口语(Speaking)

  该部分教学可以由学生讨论What is a good story开始:

  1.故事的结构。好的故事首先应该是完整的。故事要有开头、中间和结尾。教师可以这样介绍:

  All good stories have a beginning,a middle and an end.Some stories even end up in the same place they started.For example,in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the story begins with Tom at home.During the course of the story, Tom travels from one place to another,and has all kinds of adventures,and ends up back at home.So, before you begin to tell a story. sit and think for a little while about the beginning,middle and the end of your story.

  2.人物。故事中的人物可以是人、动物或事物。教师可以提供以下问题供学生参考:

  Who is your main character?

  What does he,she or it like and dislike?

  What d
