【設(shè)計理念】
本教學(xué)設(shè)計在新課程教學(xué)理念的指導(dǎo)下，力求在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的語言知識、知識技能、情感態(tài)度、學(xué)習(xí)策略和文化意識等素養(yǎng)的基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)展學(xué)生綜合運用語言的能力，使學(xué)生通過觀察、體驗、探究等主動學(xué)習(xí)的方法優(yōu)化英語學(xué)習(xí)方法，充分發(fā)揮自己的學(xué)習(xí)潛能，形成有效的學(xué)習(xí)策略。
1. 開展學(xué)生活動，發(fā)揮主體作用
新課程強調(diào)要充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生在教學(xué)過程中的主體作用。本課設(shè)計遵循以學(xué)生為主體，教師為主導(dǎo)這一教學(xué)原則，創(chuàng)設(shè)角色扮演情景、激烈討論提出建議，讓學(xué)生最大限度地參與教學(xué)過程，尊重學(xué)生的主體地位，充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)過程中的主動性、積極性、創(chuàng)造性，使課堂充滿活力。
2. 實施情景教學(xué)，統(tǒng)合三維目標(biāo)
本課設(shè)計從教學(xué)需要出發(fā)，創(chuàng)設(shè)情景，進行情景設(shè)問、討論，激起學(xué)生的情感體驗，激活學(xué)生思維，幫助學(xué)生迅速、正確地理解和接受知識，并在學(xué)習(xí)過程中培養(yǎng)其積極進取的科學(xué)的人生觀及價值觀，較好地落實了三維目標(biāo)。而三維目標(biāo)是相輔相成、相互滲透的，所以在情景教學(xué)的過程中，知識的落實、能力的培養(yǎng)、情感態(tài)度價值觀的滲透交融在一起，實現(xiàn)了三維目標(biāo)的和諧與統(tǒng)一。
3. 轉(zhuǎn)變學(xué)習(xí)方式，增強教學(xué)效果
新課程要求提倡自主、合作、探究的學(xué)習(xí)方式，發(fā)揮學(xué)生的主體性、能動性和獨立性，本課設(shè)計通過自學(xué)課本，小組討論，綜合分析，角色扮演等活動， 為學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí)、合作學(xué)習(xí)、探究學(xué)習(xí)提供了空間，使學(xué)生體驗了自主之樂，合作之趣，探究之悅，促進了學(xué)生知識的構(gòu)建與運用，能力的培養(yǎng)和提高，情感體驗和態(tài)度、價值觀的形成，增強了教學(xué)效果。
4. 運用問題教學(xué)，啟發(fā)學(xué)生思維
本課設(shè)計按照誘思探究理論要求，遵循學(xué)生的認(rèn)知規(guī)律，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生去發(fā)現(xiàn)問題、分析問題和解決問題，從而掌握知識，形成能力，培養(yǎng)品質(zhì)。通過對文章分析的由淺入深，由易到難，循序漸進，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生結(jié)合歷史現(xiàn)狀和教材信息，發(fā)揮想象，活化語言，從而達(dá)到綜合運用英語進行交際的目的。有利于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的思維能力，激發(fā)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)新精神。
本教學(xué)設(shè)計貫穿了新的教學(xué)理念，體現(xiàn)了課程改革的鮮明特色，在教學(xué)內(nèi)容的重新調(diào)整、教材的合理處理、教學(xué)思路的設(shè)計等方面作了嘗試性的突破與創(chuàng)新，具有較強的實踐性和操作性。
【教材分析】
本單元教學(xué)內(nèi)容為人教版新課標(biāo)Module 5 Unit 3 Life in the future。本單元的中心話題是“未來生活”，教材內(nèi)容為學(xué)生提供了想象的空間，旨在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生預(yù)測未來的能力，通過對現(xiàn)實生活與未來生活的對比，喚醒學(xué)生把握現(xiàn)在，珍惜現(xiàn)在，愛護環(huán)境，保護自然的意識。
第一篇Reading文章主要講述主人公Li Qiang在時空旅行前、時空旅行中及時空旅行后的所見所想。第二篇則主要記敘了Li Qiang在太空站認(rèn)識的兩個非常特別的太空生物，并將兩個生物的特征進行了對比。兩篇閱讀文章都是科幻型閱讀，旨在喚起學(xué)生的想象力，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生對未來生活的預(yù)測。語法部分則延續(xù)了課文內(nèi)容，通過作者對未來生活態(tài)度的討論引出過去分詞做狀語及定語的用法，并以短文填空的形式來鞏固文章生詞的用法。聽力部分則描繪了一個擁有高新科技的wonderland,表明了人類對美好生活的追求與幻想，并最終通過口語情景設(shè)置鍛煉學(xué)生綜合運用英語的能力與技巧，從而對未來生活進行更細(xì)致的預(yù)測。
考慮到各部分內(nèi)容的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，筆者結(jié)合教學(xué)實際將同一話題不同內(nèi)容與形式的材料進行了重組，對教材內(nèi)容、編排順序等進行了調(diào)整、刪減和補充，將整個單元設(shè)計成四個課時，豐富了教學(xué)內(nèi)容和語言活動形式。

通過幾個特殊疑問詞，提出以下問題，處理文章第一段。因本篇課文是一篇敘事故事，而記敘文時一般都包括事件發(fā)生的人物、時間、地點、事件、原因等關(guān)鍵要素，因此讓學(xué)生通過閱讀尋找上述要素，不僅讓學(xué)生的閱讀具有目的性，而且降低了閱讀的難度。

按事件發(fā)生的先后順序及地點轉(zhuǎn)換順序，處理文章細(xì)節(jié)，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生抓住文章線索來處理課文的能力。然后根據(jù)地點轉(zhuǎn)移，自然地將“太空倉內(nèi)”轉(zhuǎn)向“太空倉外”，按照作者在太空倉外所處的三個不同地點Hovering carriage, a large market, a large building來處理文章第三段。
3．After the journey

過去分詞作狀語可以表示時間、條件、原因、讓步、方式或伴隨，有時在其前還可以帶上連詞，以示明確。
1． 作時間狀語。 Once discovered, the enemies were completely wiped out.

注意：
1) 作狀語的過去分詞通常與句子的主語存在著被動關(guān)系，她所表示的動作通常和謂語動詞屬于同一時間范疇，也可表示先于謂語動詞發(fā)生的動作。有時為了強調(diào)先發(fā)生的動作，也可用having been done.
e.g. Having been told many times, he can’t still remember it.
2). 過去分詞的邏輯主語要跟主句的主語一致,否則不能用過去分詞作狀語,應(yīng)用狀語從句。
（誤）Checked carefully, some spelling mistakes can be avoided.
（正）If the composition is checked carefully, some spelling mistakes can be avoided.
過去分詞作定語或狀語時，該分詞及修飾成分相當(dāng)一句定語或狀語從句，變?yōu)槎ㄕZ從句或狀語從句中，該從句應(yīng)該具備兩個特征：1）從句的主語和主句中的先行詞一致；2）謂語動詞為被動語態(tài)形式。
