人教版高中历史必修2战后资本主义的新变化说课稿2篇
2.“里根经济学”和“撒切尔主义”20世纪70年代，世界资本主义经济发展进入“滞胀”状态后，各国政府纷纷寻找医治这一新疾病的药方，其中影响最大的是供应学派和货币学派。1979年，撒切尔夫人上台担任英国首相，率先采纳了货币学派的主张。1981年，里根担任美国总统后，以供应学派为依据，确立了自己政府的经济政策。由于两人的经济政策都在一定程度上缓解了本国的经济危机，并有一套理论体系支撑，因此经济学家们分别称之为“里根经济学”和“撒切尔主义”。实际上，“里根经济学”和“撒切尔主义”有许多相同之处，二者都提倡自由放任，强调市场调节作用，反对国家干预；二者都实行有利于富人的减税政策，因此都曾被攻击为“劫贫济富”；二者都大力增加军费开支，用加大政府消费来缓解危机。3.美国“新经济”战后西方国家在凯恩斯主义指导下，暂时摆脱了三十年代那种严重的大萧条局面，但由于长期实行扩张性财政货币政策和对社会需求进行管理的政策，各资本主义国家经济又出现新的危机，即“滞胀”（生产停滞和通货膨胀），凯恩斯主义由此走向没落。

人教版高中历史必修3现代中国教育的发展说课稿
一、教材分析下面我来谈一谈对教材的认识：主要从教材的地位和作用、以及在此基础上确立的教学目标、教学重难点这三个方面来谈。首先，来谈教材的地位和作用：本课教材内容主要从三个方面向学生介绍了现代中国教育的发展状况和趋势：人民教育的奠基、动乱中的教育和教育的复兴，全面讲述了新中国教育的三个阶段。本课是文化史中中国史部分的最后一课， 也是必修三册书中唯一涉及教育的一课。而教育是思想文化史中的重要组成部分，江泽民同志在谈到教育的时候曾经说过，“百年大计，教育为本。教育为本，在于育人”。教育是关系国计民生的大事。学生通过学习新中国教育发展的史实，理解“科教兴国”、“国运兴衰，系于教育”的深刻含义。最终由此激发学生树立“知识改变命运、读书成就人生”的信念，树立勤奋学习、成人成才、报效祖国、服务社会的崇高理想。故本课的教学有极大的现实意义。谈完了教材的地位和作用，我再分析一下教学目标：
人教版高中生物必修1生命活动的主要承担者—蛋白质说课稿
第五，蛋白质的功能。蛋白质功能具有多样性，由学生对照教材，进行总结。为什么蛋白质有那么多功能呢？根据我们学习生物学的经验可知道：生物的结构决定功能。再要求刚才的那四个同学上台组合多肽链。以不同位置组合，就会形成很多种多肽链，进而形成很多种蛋白质。每一种蛋白质都有其特定的功能，所以蛋白质具有多样性，其功能也具有多样性。第六，总结。蛋白质是细胞和生物体中重要的有机化合物，是一切生命活动的主要承担者。蛋白质的多样性是形形色色生物和绚丽多彩生命活动的物质基础。（可以由学生总结）第七，教学评价。由于只有一节课时间，课堂上对重点、难点知识的解析还不能做到举一反三的深度，因此尽管学生课堂反应热烈，对知识点的接受程度也达到了预期的要求，但在做课后练习时，也会出现一些问题。所以传统的讲练结合还是要结合起来运用才能取得更好的效果。为此本节内容需要2课时来完成。

二、流动镶嵌模型的基本内容1、膜的成分2、膜的基本支架3、膜的结构特点4、膜的功能特性设计意图：我根据板书的“规范、工整和美观”的要求，结合所教的内容，设计了如图所示的板书，使学生对本节课有一个整体的思路。八、教学反思：本节课我创设了问题情境来引导学生主动学习，利用了多媒体信息技术激发学生的学习热情，调动了学生的积极性，成功实现预期的教学目标。体现了学生为主体地位的新课程理念。启发式、探究式的教学方法以及由教师指导下的学生自主阅读、合作交流的学习方法把学生从死记知识的苦海中解救出来。初次的尝试还存在一定的缺陷，学生不能够很好的把知识和习题联系，只是把他所知道的知识简单罗列，不能够体现出能力的训练。在上课中发现学生比较腼腆或拘束，声音比较小，表达不能到位。尽管本节课存在诸多不足之处，但是也让我看到了闪光点：学生比较欢迎这样一堂自己是主角的课堂。

⑦在我看来, 探索太空是值得的。As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.Step 10 Writing---draftRecently, students in our class have had heated a discussion on whether space is worth exploring. Students hold different ideas about it.30% of us think space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life and is a waste of money. And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.On the other hand，70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it，such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more，with further space research，we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day. Also，space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth.As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.

新人教版高中英语必修3Unit 5 The Value of Money-Reading and Thinking教学设计一
Everybody wants to get wealth.In today’s material world,making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood. With money they can own luxurious cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.But is wealth the only road to happiness? Not really. There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.

新人教版高中英语必修3Unit 1 Festivals and Celebrations-Listening &Speaking＆Talking教学设计
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.

Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …horse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.

She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city.

Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.” Tear of joy flooded her eyes.

The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral.However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people with the need for personal responsibility.Step 8 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner.
