【設(shè)計理念】
1.釋放教師的內(nèi)力,讓教學(xué)具有“柔軟的親切”。第13屆江蘇省“杏壇杯”蘇派青年教師課堂教學(xué)展評活動提倡使用教材以外的內(nèi)容,同時限制教師使用信息技術(shù)手段,且不得提前準(zhǔn)備板書貼條等。在此情況下,教師必須將自己的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)、閱讀體驗(yàn)融進(jìn)文本,并柔化教學(xué)設(shè)計,同時在呈現(xiàn)文本、解讀文本、感悟文本方面,教師需要更多地依靠自己的力量。
2.回歸閱讀的本源,讓教學(xué)具有“核心的味道”。六年級學(xué)生對格林童話中的代表作比較熟悉,且具備一定的語言知識、語言技能及文化知識背景。以此為前提,在設(shè)計本課的教學(xué)活動時,筆者以“回歸閱讀本源,追尋教學(xué)本味”為理念,緊扣故事眼“One good turn deserves another”,層層深入地推進(jìn)故事的閱讀。此外,筆者還通過形式多樣、層次遞進(jìn)的閱讀活動引導(dǎo)學(xué)生領(lǐng)悟文本內(nèi)涵,提升其文化鑒賞力及閱讀素養(yǎng)。
【教學(xué)目標(biāo)】
(1)能在正確理解、讀懂故事的基礎(chǔ)上有感情地朗讀及表演故事。(2)能通過讀圖、聯(lián)系上下文等方式理解One good turn deserves another.等詞句在故事中的含義及用法。(3)能續(xù)編故事結(jié)局,并運(yùn)用所學(xué)語言進(jìn)行表達(dá)。(4)能在比較閱讀中分析格林童話的特點(diǎn),并領(lǐng)悟“善有善報”的寓意。
【課堂實(shí)錄】
一、魔術(shù)激趣,進(jìn)入閱讀
T: Boys and girls. Do you like playing games? Look, I have a box. Whats in the box?
S: Theres nothing.
T: Yes, theres nothing in it. Its empty. Now lets say the magic words : Magic,magic, magic.
T: Who can open it for me?
S1(打開魔盒):Wow, some books!
學(xué)生依次看魔盒中的故事書:Cinderella, Snow White,The Frog Prince,The Magic Porridge Pot.
T:You know theyre all Grimms fairy tales. And today well read The magic porridge pot.
T: Look at the cover, this story is about...
S: This story is about a girl, an old woman, a boy and a pot.
教師將人物頭像依次畫到黑板上。
教學(xué)伊始,教師用小魔術(shù)引出Snow White,Cinderella等童話故事,激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)熱情,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)故事均出自格林童話,激活學(xué)生原有的知識儲備,從而為后續(xù)的比較閱讀做好鋪墊。
二、抓住沖突,深入閱讀
1.Talk about the main characters.
T: Look at Hannahs house, her plate is...(empty).
Ss: She never had enough to eat.
T: Yes, so she was always...(hungry). But when she had some food...
S: she always shared it.
T: Look, she shared the cheese with ...(a mouse)What information can you get from the pictures?
S: Hannah had no money to buy food, she was poor./ Hannah was kind. She always shared food with others.
T:Yes, she was poor but kind and friendly.But one day, something happened. Look at P11, what do you find?
S:In the morning, she had porridge for breakfast. At lunchtime, she had porridge for lunch. In the evening, she had porridge for dinner.
T: She had a lot of porridge to eat. And we can say she had plenty to eat all the day. Do you have any questions?
S: Who gave her so much porridge?/ Why did she have plenty to eat?/What happened to Hannah?
2.Skim and find.
T: Good questions. I also want to know. Lets
skim P3 to P11 and find out.
S: Because Hannah met an old woman. She gave Hannah a magic pot.
3.Read again and find.
T: But I have two more questions.Why did the old woman give the pot to Hannah? How did the magic pot work?
T: Now read this part again and discuss the two questions in groups.
S:Because Hannah found some honey and she gave some honey to the old woman, so the old woman gave the pot to Hannah.
T: You give me some honey, and I give you some porridge and the pot in return. That is ...
S: One good turn deserves another.
T: Wonderful!This is the key sentence! Who can read it?
T:Great!Who can read like the old woman? 以上教學(xué),教師通過圖文互讀的方式帶領(lǐng)學(xué)生了解人物,并留給學(xué)生閱讀、思考和表達(dá)的空間。學(xué)生對故事情節(jié)的前后矛盾提出疑問,帶著問題閱讀故事,并在略讀、掃讀、細(xì)讀等不同閱讀策略的使用中逐漸提升閱讀能力。
4.Read in roles.
T: Now lets read P3 to P8.
學(xué)生分角色讀Hannah和old woman的對話,感受人物情緒和心理。
T: Excellent! Now you know the answer of Question 2, right?
S: At first, the pot was empty. The woman said “Cook pot cook”, porridge was in the pot. Then she said “Stop pot stop”, it stopped.
T: So this is really a magic pot. With the magic pot, Hannah and the old woman shared a delicious meal of porridge and honey. And the woman gave the pot to Hannah.
以上教學(xué),教師用分角色演讀文本的方式幫助學(xué)生厘清話輪轉(zhuǎn)換關(guān)系,讀出人物語氣,理解人物心理活動,營造故事的畫面感。
三、預(yù)測驗(yàn)證,浸入閱讀
1. Think and predict.
T: Then the boy came. What happened?
S1: Hannah shared the pot with the boy.
S2: The boy stole the pot.
T: Now all ears here. Ill tell you the story. Please listen carefully and tell me what happened in just one sentence.
T: (講述這部分故事后) What happened?
S: The greedy boy stole the pot.
T: Yes, most of you made a good prediction!Now we know he was a greedy boy. You see, a good story needs a bad man. Things dont always go well all the time.
對故事進(jìn)行預(yù)測,能極大地激發(fā)學(xué)生的好奇心、想象力,在“預(yù)測—閱讀—驗(yàn)證”的過程中,學(xué)生享受著閱讀的快樂。
2. Complete and act.
T: But how did he find and steal the pot? Its time for you to read this part and complete the route with the key verbs.
學(xué)生完成路徑圖(見圖1)后展示并匯報。
T: Thank you. Your handwriting is very beautiful. Well done!
Boys and girls,the boy stole the pot like this(見圖1中小孩).Who wants to be the boy and act it out?
學(xué)生扮演男孩,教師讀故事旁白。
路徑圖能幫助學(xué)生厘清故事脈絡(luò),且路徑圖能為后續(xù)的故事復(fù)述和表演提供語言支架。
3. Read and feel.
T:The boy stole the pot, he couldnt wait to shout the magic words.
S: Cook pot cook.
T: Steaming porridge filled the pot. It got fuller and fuller.He should stop the pot. What did he say?
S: Stop. You can stop now.
T: But the pot didnt stop. Then he shouted.
S(大聲地):Thats too much. Stop. I tell you!
S: But the pot didnt stop.
T: Then he begged.
S(乞求狀): Please stop...
S: But the pot didnt stop.
T: At last he cried.
S(慘哭狀): Stop, stop, STOP! Ill drown in porridge.
S: But the pot didnt stop.
T: Look, the boy was almost in porridge. How did he feel at that time?
S: He was very sad. / The porridge was hot, he felt hot and he was afraid.
T(向之前扮演小男孩的學(xué)生發(fā)問): You were the boy just now, how did you feel at that time?
S: Im sorry for what I did. I wont be greedy. Please come and help me.
學(xué)生在表演和角色體驗(yàn)中產(chǎn)生了強(qiáng)烈的代入感,他們與故事中的人物對話,體會人物心理,揣摩人物語言,在深度閱讀、深度對話中內(nèi)化語言,升華情感。
4.Imagine and give an ending.
T: What happened in the end? Can you imagine? Please discuss in your groups.
Group 1: There was porridge everywhere, the boy asked “Help!Help!”, but no one came, and he died in porridge at last.
T: Oh, thats a sad ending. Now show us the cry face.
學(xué)生根據(jù)結(jié)局內(nèi)容出示哭臉卡片。
Group 2: The boy shouted “Help, help...” Suddenly, the old woman appeared. She stopped the pot and said to the boy:“Little boy, dont be greedy anymore. Go and help others, youll be happy.”
T: Wow, I like your ending. Children, is this a happy ending or a sad ending?
S:(出示笑臉卡片)A happy ending.
其余小組根據(jù)自編的結(jié)局出示笑臉卡或哭臉卡。
T: Oh,most of your stories have happy endings.
學(xué)生創(chuàng)編故事結(jié)局,既充分發(fā)揮了想象力,又鍛煉了語言表達(dá)能力,同時使閱讀從單一化走向開放化和多元化。
5.Grimms ending.
T: What about Grimms ending? Lets have a look.
學(xué)生朗讀故事,小男孩被Hannah所救,Hannah拿回了自己的鍋并再也沒有被偷。
T: Now we know, the boy was saved by the girl. And he never stole anything again. As for Hannah, she got her pot back.What do you think of this ending?
S: Its also a happy ending.
再讀原文結(jié)局,進(jìn)行“我與作家比一比”的比較閱讀和創(chuàng)作,使閱讀更深入。
四、比較閱讀,提升素養(yǎng)
1. Talk about the main characters.
T: Thats the whole story, boys and girls. Who do you like best in this story? Why?
S: I like Hannah. Because she always shared with others. She was kind and friendly./I like the old woman best. Because she gave the magic pot to Hannah. She helped poor Hannah. She was very helpful.
T: Do you like the little boy?
S: No!
T: He was greedy, but he got a lesson from his mistakes. So maybe he wasnt greedy anymore. Do you agree with me?
2. Read and compare.
T: Do you still remember these books? Do they have happy endings or sad endings?
S: Happy endings!
T: You see, most of Grimms fairy tales have happy endings. Why?You can discuss in groups.
S:Because children like happy endings. They are suitable for children to read./Because the Brothers Grimm wanted to show us the beauty and happiness of life...
T: Your ideas are great! You see, most of the main characters are kind, friendly and helpful.
S:(打開笑臉卡)Some of them are brave.Some are hardworking. They never give up. They love to share.
T: Thats why theres always a happy ending. Because...
S: One good turn deserves another.
T: Yes. And I hope all of you can be brave and kind, you love to share and never give up. And please always remember: One good turn deserves another.
So much for this lesson. After class, you can read more Grimms fairy tales and have fun with reading.
細(xì)品人物性格,以經(jīng)典作品為例分析格林童話的寫作特點(diǎn),在比較閱讀中再次明晰故事的主題與內(nèi)涵,打開閱讀視角,加大閱讀厚度,提升閱讀品質(zhì)。
【教后反思】
The magic porridge pot是一則有著魔幻色彩的格林童話,故事情節(jié)一波三折,人物形象鮮明,適合學(xué)生閱讀。教學(xué)的力量來自“生命的內(nèi)在”——真實(shí)而鮮活的經(jīng)驗(yàn)、高雅而正直的教養(yǎng)。在教學(xué)過程中,教師要努力使自己的課洗盡鉛華,回歸閱讀本位,回歸本味閱讀。
1.基于學(xué)生,找到課堂的出發(fā)點(diǎn)。學(xué)生在哪里,課就在哪里。設(shè)計教學(xué)活動時,教師基于學(xué)生本位,設(shè)計了魔術(shù)導(dǎo)入、略讀回答、細(xì)讀研討、角色演讀、繪制思維圖、想象辨析等多種閱讀活動,瞄準(zhǔn)學(xué)生的興趣點(diǎn),定準(zhǔn)課堂的出發(fā)點(diǎn),帶給學(xué)生愉悅的閱讀體驗(yàn),并逐漸讓其進(jìn)入深度閱讀的狀態(tài)。
2.刪繁就簡,找準(zhǔn)課堂的生長點(diǎn)。閱讀教學(xué)不能面面俱到,不能被塞得“滿滿當(dāng)當(dāng)”。教師要用“洗課”的方式,刪繁就簡,讓自己的課洗練、精簡、清晰、有序。此外,閱讀不能只停留在理解這一層面上,還要有閱讀者自己的思考和判斷,形成自己的文化立場與態(tài)度、文化認(rèn)同感和文化鑒別能力。刪減后的課,學(xué)生自編故事結(jié)局,在“我與作家比一比”的活動中豐富語言的表現(xiàn)力,再通過對格林童話結(jié)局特點(diǎn)的對比閱讀尋找故事的寓意:One good turn deserves another.再次回歸文章主旨,并形成文化立場與鑒別能力。為課堂做減法,減去的是繁枝末節(jié),留下的是有效的生長點(diǎn)和更多思考與表達(dá)的空間。
3.返璞歸真,找尋教育的源點(diǎn)。本次“杏壇杯”課堂教學(xué)展評提倡教師只帶一張嘴、一塊黑板、一支粉筆,上“素課”。在備課、磨課的過程中,筆者逐漸明晰,“素課”是對教師教學(xué)技藝、理念的錘煉,是豐厚教師內(nèi)心、豐盈學(xué)生體驗(yàn)的教學(xué)實(shí)踐。事實(shí)證明,“素課”雖然沒有光與影的渲染,但卻有教師動聽婉轉(zhuǎn)的歌聲、繪聲繪色的講述、一筆一畫的板書以及師生之間的無障礙交流,這是教育原本的樣子。學(xué)生在沒有課件輔助的情況下,對文本的閱讀從表層走向深處,領(lǐng)悟到文本的思想意蘊(yùn)和文化情感,獲得個性化、深刻的閱讀體驗(yàn)。他們在文字和圖片的世界里自在融通,在想象的空間里自如穿梭,他們的閱讀素養(yǎng)得到了實(shí)實(shí)在在的提升。
