教学反思

我讲的是人教版七年级下册Unit5 Why do you like pandas? Reading 2a-2c阅读课。我们班大部分同学有一定的英语基础，前几个课时对于本单元的重点句型能够基本掌握并能熟练运用。这篇阅读篇幅较长，且生词量较大，因此教学有一定的难度。本节课我设定学生在读懂文章的基础上，能够引发学生保护濒危动物的共鸣，进而以海报的形式呼吁大家做出努力，已达到情感教育目标。

本节课有一些可取之处与大家分享。

1 本篇文章共三段，且每段观点鲜明。让学生快速阅读找出每段的中心句，引导学生掌握阅读技巧，即在大多数情况下，每段的中心句是在每段第一句或者最后一句。我想让学生不光学会读懂文章，还要掌握一些阅读能力。

2使用mind map让学生清晰地理清文章脉络，并且为接下来的复述环节做了很好的铺垫。在平常的学习中，我也注重培养学生使用mind map，这对学生写作文理清思路很有帮助。

3课堂最后production 生成环节，让学生将英语书中所学，与美术，与思想教育结合在一起，小组合作创造出拯救大熊猫海报。已经超出了教学本身，达到了素质教育的要求。

但本节课还有一些不足之处。

1 让学生快速阅读寻找每段中心句时，对于初一的孩子来说，稍微难度有点大，耗费时间较多。反思之后，我觉得应该处理成将每段与中心句连线，会降低一点难度，再根据找到的答案，引导他们学会在每段开头和结尾寻找中心句的能力。

2 教学时间前松后紧，导致最后想呈现的海报部分没能有足够的时间展现出来。在备课前要注意每环节时间的预设。

3 在海报评选环节，注重生生互评，但是由于初一孩子语言匮乏，因此评价语言比较单一，以后还需多多培养训练。

总之，本节课还是比较成功的，环节设置比较符合孩子认知，制作海报也激发了孩子的潜力，培养他们的动手能力。不足之处我会在今后的教学中，多加反思，予以改正。
