Unit 5 Music
廣東省廣州市第43中學(xué) 黃小紅
【教學(xué)內(nèi)容分析】
本單元的話題是音樂（music）。音樂是學(xué)生熟悉而喜愛的話題。但許多同學(xué)對“音樂”的概念理解較狹窄，甚至以為流行音樂就是音樂的全部，對其他形式的音樂及其相關(guān)知識了解甚少。通過對本單元的學(xué)習(xí)，帶學(xué)生走進(jìn)音樂的殿堂，幫助學(xué)生了解有關(guān)的音樂知識，同時(shí)潛移默化地培養(yǎng)審美的情趣，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生對社會(huì)生活、價(jià)值觀、人生觀等進(jìn)行深入的思考。
熱身(Warming up)部分提供了八幅圖及八段不同形式的音樂，要求學(xué)生聽音樂進(jìn)行配圖活動(dòng)，并討論對音樂的感受及喜好的原因。這部分的目的是呈現(xiàn)本單元的中心話題－音樂，激活學(xué)生頭腦中關(guān)于“音樂”的圖式，激發(fā)他們對此話題的興趣，為整個(gè)單元的學(xué)習(xí)做好鋪墊作用。
讀前（Pre-reading） 提出三個(gè)問題，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生談?wù)撚忻臉逢?duì)。在學(xué)課文前拓展學(xué)生的思維，為學(xué)課文做好準(zhǔn)備。
閱讀（ Reading）部分介紹了知名樂隊(duì)Monkees 的相關(guān)情況。這是一篇富含信息量，以音樂作為一個(gè)側(cè)面反映了近幾十年來美國社會(huì)和價(jià)值觀變化的文章。
理解（ Comprehending）設(shè)計(jì)了四種題型，第一題要求學(xué)生用合適的形容詞歸納樂隊(duì)的特點(diǎn)，第二題是連線題，旨在加深對課文的理解，讓學(xué)生學(xué)會(huì)正確理解句子。第三題是開放性的思考題，讓學(xué)生基于對課文的理解上發(fā)表個(gè)人的看法。第四題是歸納段意題，讓學(xué)生掌握一般說明文的閱讀、寫作方法。
語言學(xué)習(xí)（Learning about language）部分包括詞匯和語法學(xué)習(xí)兩部分，教材中設(shè)計(jì)了相關(guān)的語境幫助學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)和掌握有關(guān)音樂的詞匯。其中第三題是一個(gè)開放性題，通過做游戲，幫助學(xué)生正確使用短語dream of與to be honest with。語法部分主要是引導(dǎo)、啟發(fā)學(xué)生結(jié)合閱讀內(nèi)容，去發(fā)現(xiàn)、歸納、感悟目標(biāo)語言結(jié)構(gòu)――介詞＋which(whom)引導(dǎo)的定語從句。
語言運(yùn)用（Using language）部分，編者安排了一篇青蛙樂隊(duì)的故事讓學(xué)生進(jìn)行聽力理解和閱讀訓(xùn)練，隨后又圍繞此話題進(jìn)行聽、說、讀、寫的活動(dòng)，其中“說”的部分布置了兩個(gè)有趣的任務(wù)：組建樂隊(duì)，寫關(guān)于音樂的“名言警句”。
學(xué)習(xí)建議（ Learning Tip）部分建議學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語歌曲，從歌曲中學(xué)習(xí)英語語法與詞匯，培養(yǎng)語感和節(jié)奏感。
總之，通過本單元系統(tǒng)的學(xué)習(xí)，讓學(xué)生了解音樂，體驗(yàn)音樂，從而更加熱愛生活，同時(shí)感悟語言知識，提高語言運(yùn)用能力。

(Provide the Ss more reading materials suitable for them to read). Here is one of the examples.
Joseph Haydn (1732 -- 1809) was an Austrian composer and is known as "the father of the symphony". Other composers had written symphonies before Haydn, but he changed the symphony into a long piece for a large orchestra.
He was born in a village in Austria, the son of a peasant. He had a beautiful staging voice. After studying music in Vienna, Haydn went to work at the court of a prince in eastern Austria, where he became director of music. Having worked there for 30 years, Haydn moved to London, where he was very successful.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( 1756 -- 1791) was a composer, possibly the greatest musical genius of all time. He only lived 35 years and he composed more than 600 pieces of music.
Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria. His father Leopold was a musician and orchestra conductor. Wolfgang had musical talent from a very early age. He learned to play the harpsichord when he was four, he started composing music when he was five, and when he was six, he played the harpsichord in a concert for the Empress of Austria.
By the time he was 14, Mozart had composed many pieces for the harpsichord, piano and violin, as well as for orchestras. While he was still a teenager, Mozart was already a big star and toured Europe giving concerts. Haydn met Mozart in 1781 and was very impressed with him. "He is the greatest composer the world has known," he said. The two were friends until Mozart's death in 1791.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 -- 1827) was born in Bonn, Germany. He showed musical talent when he was very young, and learned to play the violin and piano from his father, who was a singer. Mozart met Beethoven and was impressed by him. "He will give something wonderful to the world," he said. Beethoven met Haydn in 1791, but was not impressed by the older man. After they had known each other for many years, Beethoven said, "He is a good composer, but he has taught me nothing." However, it was Haydn who encouraged Beethoven to move to Vienna.
Beethoven became very popular in the Austrian capital and stayed there for the rest of his life. As he grew older, he began to go deaf. He became completely deaf during the last years of his life, but he continued composing.

【教學(xué)反思】(或【教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)說明】)
評析與反思：
1、本單元主要采用新課標(biāo)提倡的任務(wù)性教學(xué)，整個(gè)教學(xué)過程讓學(xué)生積極主動(dòng)地探究，生動(dòng)活潑地發(fā)展。群體性主體參與率較高，創(chuàng)新性思維活躍，使學(xué)生真正獲得了自主學(xué)習(xí)的成功樂趣。整個(gè)教學(xué)過程的突出特點(diǎn)是精心創(chuàng)設(shè)情境，促進(jìn)學(xué)生主動(dòng)發(fā)展。
2、課堂活動(dòng)的主要組織形式是小組合作學(xué)習(xí)。教師根據(jù)教學(xué)內(nèi)容的特點(diǎn)精心設(shè)計(jì)了小組合作學(xué)習(xí)的“問題”，為學(xué)生提供適當(dāng)?shù)�、帶有一定挑�?zhàn)性的學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)，把學(xué)生領(lǐng)近了“最近發(fā)展區(qū)”。小組活動(dòng)給了學(xué)生自主、合作的機(jī)會(huì)，目能培養(yǎng)學(xué)生團(tuán)體的合作和競爭意識，發(fā)展交往與審美的能力，在促進(jìn)學(xué)生間的情感交流、互幫互學(xué)、共同提高，發(fā)揮學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的主動(dòng)性方面起著積極的作用。
3、教學(xué)目標(biāo)達(dá)成較好。特別是在知識目標(biāo)與情感目標(biāo)達(dá)成方面，學(xué)習(xí)策略還需在平時(shí)的教學(xué)中進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)與提高。
4、多媒體輔助教學(xué)較恰當(dāng)，效果較好。課件中直觀、形象生動(dòng)的圖片、錄像、音效等的出現(xiàn)，幫助學(xué)生迅速融入課文故事情景，從而更好地理解文章旨意，使語言輸入變得有意義。
5、任務(wù)設(shè)計(jì)較新穎，與學(xué)生的生活經(jīng)歷與興趣相聯(lián)系，能激發(fā)學(xué)生用語言做事的內(nèi)驅(qū)力。但由于學(xué)生與教師是初次見面，需要一個(gè)磨合期，而本節(jié)課的學(xué)生活動(dòng)較多，因此，在教學(xué)時(shí)間上顯得較倉促。
6、文章中出現(xiàn)了較多的新詞匯，學(xué)生雖然能通過上下文猜測出部分詞匯的意思，但仍有一部分詞匯對于學(xué)生而言有難度，若能在教學(xué)環(huán)節(jié)中穿插學(xué)習(xí)詞匯的一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)，相信效果會(huì)更好。
教學(xué)啟迪：
1、激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)興趣是前提。學(xué)習(xí)是學(xué)生的自主行為。我們的教學(xué)更重要的是喚醒和激發(fā)學(xué)生主動(dòng)參與學(xué)習(xí)的意識，使學(xué)生產(chǎn)生學(xué)習(xí)需求。因?yàn)榕d趣是兒童認(rèn)知活動(dòng)的動(dòng)力，最好的學(xué)習(xí)是學(xué)生對所學(xué)有內(nèi)在興趣。從上面的教學(xué)過程可以看到， Jumbels 與Memory challenge 等環(huán)節(jié)，使學(xué)生激動(dòng)不已，他們都能精心準(zhǔn)備，全身心地投入，主體性參與極高。這樣就激活了學(xué)生的內(nèi)驅(qū)力，變“要我學(xué)”為“我要學(xué)”，由被動(dòng)地學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)為主動(dòng)地學(xué)。真正體現(xiàn)了教學(xué)的藝術(shù)不在于傳授本領(lǐng)，而在于激勵(lì)、喚醒、鼓舞。
2、營造和諧的課堂氛圍是保證�，F(xiàn)代教學(xué)論認(rèn)為，民主、和諧、寬松的課堂教學(xué)氛圍是促進(jìn)學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí)、主動(dòng)發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵所在。上述教學(xué)過程充分體現(xiàn)了師生間的民主合作性。課堂上師生合作、生生合作、平等討論、相互補(bǔ)充的氣氛極濃。給學(xué)生提供充分展示自己的機(jī)會(huì)，張揚(yáng)自己的個(gè)性。學(xué)生們無拘無束地表現(xiàn)自己的感受，輕松愉快地用語言表達(dá)自己的見解。在言語實(shí)踐中學(xué)習(xí)語言，在積極思維中發(fā)展思維，在交流表達(dá)中提高表達(dá)能力。
3、讓學(xué)生獲得成功的喜悅是關(guān)鍵。蘇霍姆林斯基說：“成功的歡樂是一種巨大的情緒力量，它可以促進(jìn)兒童好好學(xué)習(xí)的愿望。請你注意無論如何不要使這種內(nèi)在力量消失，缺少這種力量，教育上的任何巧妙措施都是無濟(jì)于事的�！币氪龠M(jìn)學(xué)生主動(dòng)發(fā)展，在教學(xué)過程中就要?jiǎng)?chuàng)設(shè)使學(xué)生能夠獲得成功的條件和情境，才能有效地培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的自信心，才能激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)主動(dòng)性。在本課例中，教師以情景為基本原則，重點(diǎn)放在學(xué)習(xí)活動(dòng)的開展上，讓學(xué)生在恰當(dāng)?shù)那榫持袑W(xué)會(huì)用英語交流，從而獲得學(xué)習(xí)的成就感。
總之，教師只有立足于學(xué)生的發(fā)展，從根本上轉(zhuǎn)變教育觀念，樹立新的素質(zhì)觀、人才觀、質(zhì)量觀，變課堂為學(xué)堂，變灌輸為引導(dǎo)，變指令為合作，真正確立學(xué)生的主體地位，才能使學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的潛能得到極大的發(fā)揮，促進(jìn)學(xué)生積極主動(dòng)、生動(dòng)活潑地學(xué)習(xí)，從而全面提高學(xué)生的素質(zhì)。

One of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the Rock & Roll music popular around the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.
Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church, where he learned to sing and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.
When he was a teenager, Elvis moved from Tupelos to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”.
In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mother's birthday. The people at the recording studio(錄音棚) liked his singing and his music. There was something different about it. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music, which black people used to sing in the American South, music known as “blues”.
Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manager and arranged(安排)concerts for him across the United States and new recordings as well. Soon Elvis rose to fame all over the country. Later, Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films like Love Me Tender and King Creole.
But Elvis found it hard to live with success, like many other entertainment personalities (娛樂圈內(nèi)的人士) .He began to take drugs and his health began to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, his many millions of fans were shocked. “The King Is Dead!” the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and he will always be remembered as the King of Rock & Roll.

In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China. _________________76_________________ One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 17th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. ________77________________
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. ____________78_________ Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. ________79__________
_________80_________ We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
A. So how can we save paper?
B. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
C. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
D. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things.
E. Paper is very important in our daily life.
F. If there are no trees, there will be no paper.

第二節(jié) 聽取信息（共5題；每小題1分 ，滿分5 分）
To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert or listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life, whether he realizes it or not. Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning - the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too - in the rhythm (旋律) of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meanings for everyone in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
Once a great man said, “Through music a child enters a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”
