一、教材分析

    Unit5, Action Reading Surprises at the studio是沪教版九年级上册的阅读课。主要讲述了一个临时从观众席中被替换上场的普通女孩在一档电视智力竞赛节目中获得大奖,充满了意外的故事。让学生通过略读和找读理解文章大意,并了解故事情节发展和人物的性格特征。从而提高学生的阅读能力。

二、学情分析

    九年级三班共44人，班里的大部分学生英语基础都比较差，且对英语学习不感兴趣，英语成绩平均分较低，高分少，40分以下的学生过多。因此在进行教学设计时，要注意分层教学。但班级仍有一部分学生在英语学习上比较积极，上课能很好地配合老师，课堂气氛也因此能得到改善。

十、教学反思

本节课进步之处在于：能做到课堂以学生为主体，教学活动围绕学生展开，能注意到培养学生的阅读习惯，课堂活动分层次，大部分学生都有机会参与。

不足之处：课堂教学内容设计较多，后进生有可能跟不上节奏，再者，时间可能不够用，讨论环节不能充分进行。
