人教版高中政治必修3文化与经济、政治说课稿
（二）讲授新课：1、讲授重点：文化与经济、政治的关系。我首先带领学生分析课本上的活动探究，了解日常生活中的常见活动，让学生们观看视频材料帮助学生对文化活动、经济活动、政治活动进行辨别和分类。然后让学生们举例说明，综合探究，最后通过集体讨论得出文化与经济政治的关系：经济是基础，政治是经济的集中表现，文化是经济和政治的反映，一定的文化由一定的经济和政治决定，又反作用于政治和经济。这个问题是本课重点。要引导学生循序渐进，集体讨论，得出结论。2、突破难点：（1）文化与经济政治相互交融，在时代发展的进程中。首先播放上海世博会视频，让学生体会文化、经济、政治活动，另外我会引导学生积极举生活中的事例，来说明问题，让学生学会举一反三，充分理解这一知识，让学生明白文化与经济、政治的联系，让学生清楚文化渗透的力量有多大，帮助学生树立反对文化霸权主义的意识。

3、文化的力量。为了使学生能辨证地分析文化的力量，我设计了两个问题进行探讨：（1）是不是任何文化都能起促进作用？（2）你在听或唱国歌时感受到一种什么样的力量？这样，学生在对比中学会辨证地分析文化的力量——先进的、健康的文化能促进社会发展和个人成长；落后的、腐朽的文化则阻碍社会发展和个人成长。同时还能提高学生的文化赏析能力，从而引导学生装自觉参加健康有益的文化活动，抵制不良文化的影响，投身到社会主义精神文明建设中去。关于课堂练习，我准备了5个针对性比较强的选择题，从而加深巩固本框题的重难点知识。最后，播放歌曲《走进新时代》，展示本课知识结构，指出本框题需重点掌握的问题，结束本课教学。课后作业，我设计了这样一个辨析的题目：文化是人们创造的全部财富的总和，它是人类特有的现象。

（2）世界观，人生观，价值观是人们文化素养的核心和标志。一旦形成就会对人产生深远持久的影响。（但随着生活阅历的变化，人们文化素养的提高，人们的“三观”会发生变化。）总之“潜移默化”指每时每刻，不知不觉；是从文化对人影响的过程来看的。“深远持久”指经年累月，难以抹去；是从文化对人影响的结果上说的。3.课堂总结：首先启动学生思维，教会学生把握知识主线，建构知识体系，先由学生进行总结，然后教师进行必要的补充4、布置作业：布置作业。运用文化对人的影响的知识分析“近朱者赤，近墨者黑”，并且应该如何处理朋友之间的关系。设计这个作业的意图是既让学生灵活运用所学知识，同时又让学生回归生活，如何处理朋友之间的关系。5、板书设计遵循板书设计的实用性、直观性的原则，根据本课的教材特点，我采用结构式板书，这样设计比较直观、系统，以便于学生能够系统把握和理解知识。
人教版高中政治必修3聚焦文化竞争力说课稿
（1）文化与经济、政治在经济基础上相互影响。①经济、政治和文化是社会生活的三个基本领域。其中，经济是基础，政治是经济的集中表现，文化是经济和政治的反映。一定的文化由一定的经济、政治所决定，又反作用于一定的政治、经济，给予政治、经济以重大影响。②经济发展是文化发展的基础。但这并不意味着文化的发展始终与经济的发展亦步亦趋。如同不能简单地把精神文明看作是物质文明的派生物和附属品一样，也不能简单地认为文化是经济、政治的派生物和附属品。文化有其自身的传承性和相对的独立性。那种认为只要物质条件好了，精神文化自然而然地就会好起来，物质条件差一点，精神文化就不可能搞好的观点，不符合历史发展的事实，是不正确的。③掀开历史的画卷，文化既有古今和地域之别，又有先进与落后、腐朽之分。不同的文化，对经济、政治的影响不同，对社会发展的作用也不同。不同民族的文化，影响不同民族和国家各具特色的发展道路。

人教版高中英语必修4A taste of English Humor说课稿3篇
Then I would ask them to think of a funny English or Chinese and tell it to partners. While telling stories, they can use expressions and some acting to help make the story funny. 5 minutes would be given to do this.Those stories they told there will be the material for their writing. Soletting them tell it at first is helpful. And they can make a difference between telling a funny story and writing it down. Generally speaking, it is difficult forstudents to write well because they don’t know what to write and how to write. Asking them to tell their own stories at first can help them come up with what to write.After their telling, I would invite someone to share his/her story with all of us and I would write it down on the blackboard.This example story would be used as a sample to illustrate the format of funny story. Different from a story from teacher or textbook, a story from students can obviously become a interesting material to draw students’ attention.Then I would ask the whole class to put this story into several parts. It might be a little bit difficult for them. So I would ask them to find out whether all the sentences are necessary. After delete some sentences, there are 6 sentences left behind. Then they can easily put them into three parts. After interaction with students, I would teach them the right terms for each part and conclude the format of funny story.This step is the key and difficult point in my lesson. So I mainly usetask-based teaching method in this part and the task for students was divided into several stages. With the separated difficult level, students can find there are usually three parts in writing. They can also learn to write without the unnecessary parts in the process of analyzing. And then I wouldn’t rush to tell them the right terms to them directly. Instead, I would ask them to name them by their own. A confused mind is better for acquiring knowledge.While-writing:Then I would give students 7 minutes to write down this story, without other requirements.With all the preparations in pre-writing, students’ difficulties were cleared. So it would be much easier for them to write down the story within 7 minutes. There are no other requirements because students’ first writing is actually a drafting. It would be revise and edit several times later. Writing, as a skill
