A Modern and Popular City

曲鸿梅

Part 1：设计理念

教材分析：因学校是五四学制，学生六年级已经完成了小初衔接教学，七年级上学期学习任务相对轻松。为进一步扩大学生的阅读量，提高学生的阅读能力，结合本学期所学内容，有针对性地对学生进行课外阅读拓展训练。课外阅读是课内阅读教学的辅助与补充，可有效解决七年级学生阅读量不足的问题。在阅读教学过程中，教师要注重培养学生对语篇的领悟与分析能力，更要重视培养学生的语言运用能力和文化意识。

文本分析：为满足七年级学生的阅读需求，本节课选取了一篇介绍哈尔滨的说明文。说明文是以说明为主要表达方式的文体，要求抓住事物的特点，采用举例子、列数字等说明方法，客观地来说明事物或阐明事理，要求语言简明，说明方法严谨，文章结构清晰，条理性强，便于学生读后仿写。

Part 2：教学目标

1.知识目标：（1）了解说明文的文体特征;（2）学习举例子、列数字等说明方法。

2.能力目标：（1）引领学生“吃透”文本，把握说明文的文脉，培养学生运用所学知识表达观点、口述同类文章的能力，最终提升学生的读后仿写综合语言能力;（2）培养学生使用思维导图对文段进行解析的技能。

3.情感目标：培养学生热爱家乡，热爱祖国的情感。
