一．教材分析

本节课教学内容是外语教学与研究出版社高中英语教材第三册Module3 The Violence of Nature，主要介绍Tornado（龙卷风）和Hurricane（飓风）等自然灾害的威力。文章有描述说明，有典型事例，图文并茂，极富吸引力。

二．学情分析

所教学生英语基础薄弱，阅读能力较差。所以本节课在教授重点词汇、句型的同时侧重阅读能力的培养和阅读技巧的提高。

三．教学目标

课 题	The Violence of Nature
教学目标	1.Knowledge aims(知识目标):Learn the important phrases and sentences and get the information about the violence of nature. 2.Ability aims(能力目标): Improve students’ reading ability. (reading and comprehension /reading aloud) 3.Emotion aims(情感目标):Develop students’ confidence and determination to fight against disasters of nature.
教学重点	1. Understand the important phrases and sentences. 2. Practice reading skills.

【设计说明】：学生课前预习，填写问题卡。教师根据学生的问题设计教学目标，使教学目标更加明确，重点、难点更加突出，保证课堂教学的高效性。力求做到学生需要什么就教什么。本节课设计了知识、能力、情感三维目标,其中能力目标中阅读的能力包括阅读理解能力和大声朗读的能力，本节课在阅读能力的培养和阅读技巧的指导方面有所体现，在大声读的教学方面也有所体现。

四．教学用具 多媒体

五．教学过程

Step1.Lead in视频导入

【设计说明】：用一段关于龙卷风的视频导入新课，激发学生的兴趣，调动学习积极性，水到渠成地导入新课。

Step2. Show the Cards of Questions

Groups	Questions
丁爱宁组	Tornadoes can pick up cars, trains… 句中pick up是什么意思？
张醒组	But leave the furniture inside exactly where it was. 句中where引导什么从句？
李敏组	On average there are 800 tornadoes in the Us each year, causing about 80 deaths and 1,500 injuries. 句中causing作什么成分？
苏宸组	By the late 1890s, he had moved to Galveston, where he died in 1899, a year before the hurricane struck. 句子结构不太理解，为什么用过去完成时？
卢燕组	They can take the fur off the back of a cat … 句中take off 是什么意思？
段晓瑞组	如何提高阅读理解能力？有什么技巧吗？

【设计说明】：与一般教师的课堂不同的是，这里出示的不是教学目标，而是问题卡。这是为了突出“学”的目标，因为“教”比“学”更重要。问题卡填写之前先是个人自学，然后通过小组讨论最后确定本小组的问题。这样的形式不仅可以有效地培养学生预习的习惯和发现问题、解决问题的能力，而且可以培养他们自主学习、合作探究的能力。

【设计说明】：本环节让学生细读课文，然后完成任务。第一部分旨在培养学生朗读的能力，同时学习短语、句型，达成知识目标。第二部分根据课文设计了两个阅读表达类型的题目，旨在培养表达能力。阅读表达题是山东高考重要题型，但平时教学中往往被忽视。通过这种设计，我们可以把阅读表达题型的训练贯穿于课文的教学中。

Step5.Read the passage again and describe a nature disaster.

	Tornado	Hurricane
