III.教材分析與教材重組
1.教材分析
本單元通過兩位女孩李黛玉與劉茜的加拿大之旅,向我們展示了加拿大的一些基本概況,包括它的地理位置、主要城市、風(fēng)土人情以及它的多元文化。通過學(xué)習(xí)本單元,讓學(xué)生對加拿大有了更多的了解,使學(xué)生能夠用所學(xué)的詞匯與句式表達(dá)方向與位置,并學(xué)會條理地寫出旅游過程中的所見所聞。
1.1WarmingUp部分通過四組問題激活學(xué)生有關(guān)旅行和加拿大的知識和經(jīng)歷。本單元閱讀是“在旅途中看加拿大”,因此,WarmingUp通過五個關(guān)于加拿大的問題的測試,目的是激活學(xué)生已有的知識,為介紹加拿大做好準(zhǔn)備。
1.2Pre-reading部分通過四個問題激活學(xué)生有關(guān)旅行的經(jīng)歷和有關(guān)加拿大的知識,使學(xué)生產(chǎn)生了解加拿大的興趣,為閱讀做好準(zhǔn)備。
1.3Reading部分是“在旅途中看加拿大”,沿著從西向東的旅游路線向我們介紹了加拿大的面積、地貌、主要城市、人口、生態(tài)環(huán)境等。兩位女孩在旅途中看到了自然美景及野生動物,文章還介紹了加拿大的自然資源,讓學(xué)生對加拿大的美麗、富饒、幅員遼闊、地廣人稀有了更深的了解。學(xué)生可以通過學(xué)習(xí)課文掌握新的詞匯、句型和游記的寫法,提高學(xué)生的閱讀能力。
1.4Comprehending部分設(shè)計了三種題型,前兩個題是對Reading部分細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容的理解,一個是問答題,一個是改錯題。最后是在地圖上標(biāo)出兩位女孩的旅游路線,相對簡單一些。此部分不僅檢測學(xué)生對細(xì)節(jié)的把握,還要求學(xué)生列舉加拿大蘊藏的兩種自然資源,而且檢測學(xué)生根據(jù)課文內(nèi)容進(jìn)行推理和判斷的能力以及讀圖能力。抓住文中人物的行蹤,就能夠很好地把握文中的信息。
1.5LearningaboutLanguage部分首先是構(gòu)詞法,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生詞匯生成能力,旨在通過加上前綴或后綴的方法擴大學(xué)生的詞匯量。第二部分使用課文中的詞匯和信息進(jìn)行填空和編對話,旨在提高學(xué)生活用詞匯的能力。語法部分是有關(guān)同位語從句的練習(xí)。
1.6UsingLanguage部分綜合訓(xùn)練聽說讀寫的能力。通過聽力填空及討論的形式進(jìn)一步了解有關(guān)加拿大的知識——居民和語言。閱讀部分繼續(xù)加拿大之旅,從多倫多到蒙特利爾,介紹了加拿大的旅游景點及風(fēng)土人情。寫作部分要求以報告的形式寫旅游見聞,要求學(xué)生掌握旅游報告的寫作方法。
1.7SummingUp部分要求學(xué)生就內(nèi)容、詞匯和結(jié)構(gòu)三個方面進(jìn)行歸納,對本單元所學(xué)知識進(jìn)行概括總結(jié)。
2.教材重組
2.1Reading(I):從話題內(nèi)容和功能上分析WarmingUp,Pre-readingReading與Post-reading話題相同,可以整合成一節(jié)閱讀課。
2.2Reading(II):可將Usinglanguage中的Reading與Workbook中ReadingTask放在同一節(jié)課中處理,再上一節(jié)閱讀課。因為話題都是關(guān)于加拿大的城市與風(fēng)土人情的。
2.3Listening:可將UsingLanguage中的ListeningandWriting,Speaking,Workbook中的Listening(P69)與Workbook中的ListeningTask三個活動整合成一節(jié)“聽力課”。
2.4Speaking:把LearningaboutLanguage中的Exercise4Makingupadialogue(P36)與Workbook中的Talking(P69)和SpeakingTask(P74)整合一節(jié)“口語課”。
2.5Learningaboutlanguage:將Learningaboutlanguage(P36Exercise4除外)與Workbook中的Usingwordsexpressions(P70)和Usingstructures(P71)結(jié)合在一起,上一節(jié)“語言學(xué)習(xí)課”。
2.6Writing可將UsingLanguage中的Writing(P39)與Workbook中的WritingTask(P74)整合成一節(jié)寫作課。
3.課型設(shè)計與課時分配(經(jīng)分析教材,本單元可以用六課時教完)

同位語從句
1.概念:
在復(fù)合句中作名詞的同位語的名詞性從句。
2.功能:
同位語從句對名詞進(jìn)一步解釋,說明名詞的具體內(nèi)容。
3.用法:
常跟的抽象名詞有:fact/idea/reason/thought/order/doubt/news/hope/truth/belief…
4.連詞
that/whether/who/which/what/when/where/why/how
同位語從句與定語從句區(qū)別:
1.從詞類上區(qū)別
同位語從句前面的名詞只能是idea,fact,news,hope,belief,suggestion,proposal,word,thought,doubt,truth,possibility,promise,order等有一定內(nèi)涵的名詞,而定語從句的先行詞可以是名詞,代詞,主句的一部分或是整個主句。
Hetoldmethenewsthathewouldcomehomefromaboardsoon.
Wordcamethathehadbeenabroad.
據(jù)說他已經(jīng)出國了。
Ourteamhaswonthegame,whichmadeusveryhappy.
我們的隊贏了,這讓我們很高興。
(定語從句)
2.從性質(zhì)上區(qū)別
定語從句是從句對其先行詞的修飾或限制,屬于形容詞性從句的范疇;而同位語從句是從句對前面抽象名詞的進(jìn)一步的說明和解釋,屬于名詞性從句的范疇,如:
Thenewsthatourteamhaswonthegamewastrue.
我們隊贏了那場比賽的消息是真的。
(同位語從句,補充說明news到底是一個什么消息)
Thenewsthathetoldmeyesterdaywastrue.
昨天他告訴我的那個消息是真的。
(定語從句,news在從句中作told的賓語)
3.從引導(dǎo)詞及其在句子中的成分上區(qū)別
有些引導(dǎo)詞如how,whether,what可以引導(dǎo)同位語從句,但不能引導(dǎo)定語從句。
如:Thatquestionwhetherweneedithasnotbeenconsidered.
我們是否需要它這個問題還沒有考慮。
(同位語從句)
引導(dǎo)詞that引導(dǎo)定語從句時,在從句中一般作主語或賓語(指物時還可以用which代替),并且作賓語時常常省略,that在同位語從句中僅起連接作用,不充當(dāng)任何成分,并且不能省略,也不能用which來代替,如:
Theorderthatweshouldsendafewpeopletohelptheothergroupswasreceivedyesterday.
我們應(yīng)派幾個人去幫別的幾個小組的命令昨天收到了。
(同位語從句,是對order的具體解釋,that雖不作成分,但不能省略)
Theorderthatwereceivedyesterdaywasthatweshouldsendafewpeopletohelptheothergroups.
我們昨天收到的命令是我們應(yīng)該派幾個人去幫助別的幾個小組。
(定語從句,是名詞order的修飾語,that在從句中作received的賓語,可以省略)

Nationalanthem加拿大國歌
ThetitleoftheNationalAnthemofCanadais“O,Canada”加拿大的國歌由卡力沙拉瓦雷(CalixaLavalee)作曲、阿多爾夫貝西盧提爾(AdolpheBasileRouthier)作詞,1880年首次被演唱。國歌的歌詞原先只有法文,1908年,羅伯特斯坦利維爾寫了英文詞。1980年7月1日加拿大政府宣布《啊,加拿大》為正式國歌,并在首都渥太華舉行了國歌命名儀式。因此,加拿大的國歌有英、法兩種歌詞。
加拿大的英文歌詞及中文大意是:
OCanada!Ourhomeandnativeland!
Truepatriotloveinallthysonscommand.
Withglowinghearts,weseetheerise,
TheTrueNorthstrongandfree!
Fromfarandwide,OCanada,

顆顆閃亮的心兒深情凝望,
那一片強大自由的北方!
啊,加拿大!無論身處何地,
我們都保衛(wèi)您。
上帝使我們的祖國自由輝煌!
啊,加拿大!我們保衛(wèi)您!
