三、结论

在这节课中，首先以猜动物游戏导入，极大地激发了学生的兴趣，活跃了课堂气氛。以“导游视角下的动物园之旅”这条主线贯穿本节课的三个学习板块：认识动物，寻找动物和保护动物。通过设计一系列课堂活动让学生在听、说、读、看等语言技能上得到训练，既有基于语篇的学习理解类活动，也有深入语篇的应用实践类活动，以及迁移和创新类活动，让学生通过小组学习、合作探究并结合常识和生活体验，从而对“动物保护”这一永恒话题有了更新更深的认识，完成了从文本语篇到文本外知识迁移的过渡和跨越。这节课不仅让孩子们学会了课本上的知识，还让孩子们有了课本以外的情感收获，课堂最后用“保护动物”作结尾，能够很好地唤起孩子们热爱环境，保护动物的感情。

四、感想

 

人生的方向因人而异，各有不同。找准方向是让我们根据自己的实际情况，确定一个合理的目标，而不是不切实际的空想。找准方向我们才能在生命的征程中，沿着轨迹稳步向前行；找准方向，我们才能用一生的力量实现最大的梦想。因此，在日常的英语教学中，我们就应该鼓励学生确立胃正确的方向后，要始终不渝地朝着这个方向努力，做到审时度势，因势利导，胜不骄，败不馁，终究会品尝到胜利的甘甜的，人生也会得到升华。
