生2:每逢清明,或其他一些死者的纪念日,人们总要为死去的亲人烧纸钱。这幅漫画由烧纸钱演变为烧“家电”,说明随着社会环境的变化,人们根深蒂固的一些封建思想,还在影响着人们的生活。要花大力气去破除封建迷信活动。师:说到底,算命、烧纸钱是封建迷信活动,从文化角度来说,是落后文化。我们一起来看看在现实生活中,还有哪些落后文化在影响着人们的生活。生1:在一些边远落后地区,大人小孩生了病,不是看医生,而是让巫婆神汉来治,结果往往耽误了诊疗时间,有的甚至还丢掉了性命。生2:“重男轻女”“多子多福”,红白事大操大办现象在有些地方还很严重。师:这些落后文化都有哪些共同特征?在你看来,这些现象有哪些危害?生3:这些落后文化,在内容上带有迷信、愚昧、颓废、庸俗等色彩,在形式上常常以传统习俗的形式表现出来,如人们常见的看相、算命、测字、看风水等。它会麻痹人的意志,使人消极、悲观、绝望,对理想、前途、信念丧失信心;破坏社会的风气。
由此引导学生的深思,学生通过合作探究,帮助学生认识到不注重思想道德修养,即使掌握了丰富的科学知识,也难以避免人格上的缺失,甚至危害社会。进而总结出关系二:加强思想道德修养,能够促进科学文化修养。科学文化修养的意义播放感动中国人物徐本禹先进事迹短片。学生观看完视频后,思考:从徐本禹的事迹中,我们可以了解到我们加强科学文化修养的根本意义是什么?引导学生结合自身体会,发表各自见解,在此基础上帮助学生总结出,要使自己的思想道德境界不断升华,为人民服务的本领不断提高,成为一个真正有知识文化涵养的人,成为一个脱离低级趣味的人、有益于人民的人。知识点三:追求更高的思想道德目标根据教材110探究活动(思想道德的差异、反应人们世界观、人生观、价值观的差异)思考:用公民的基本道德规范来衡量这些观点,你赞成哪些观点?反对哪些观点?小组进行合作探究,引导学生根据公民基本道德规范对这些价值观进行评析。
1.做学问之前首先学会做人2.知识文化修养和思想道德修养的关系三.追求更高的思想道德目标㈤ 说教学评价和反思:1.这节课主要是以学生为主体,老师为主导,让学生充分发表自己的看法,把理论的知识结合在实际的日常生活中,鼓励学生充分发表自己的意见,能调动学生学习的积极性,达到教学目的。这节课学生讨论,发言的机会很多,但由于我校的学生的基础薄弱,在发言时难免偏离老师引导的方向,甚至出现毫不相干的说法,由于本人经验不够此时如何去引导他们可能做的还不够好。2.新课程的教学,如何突破书本知识的局限,延伸更深层次的内容是一个难题。本节课在知识的处理上,把道德的重要性与道德的层次两个知识点补充了进去,目的是让学生在学习之前有一个情感的铺垫,从而更好地达到教学目标。
(二)课堂教学在教学中,无论是形式还是内容,都必须统一于学生的发展。从形式上说,以学生展示、思考、讨论为主,教师点拨为辅,在一定的情境与社会文化背景下,获得对传统文化的认识和理解。从内容上说,主要以福州地方传统文化为素材,围绕海峡两岸同时举办的“元霄灯会”为主线,回归到学生的生活世界,更有效地激发起学生情感,并将生活世界与知识世界衔接起来,在实际情景中分析传授相关传统文化的知识,提高学生认识和分析解决问题的能力,逐步形成对传统文化的情感和价值判断。教学过程,紧紧围绕传统文化,分为“激趣导入--活动感悟--探究思辩--升华导行”四个层次,环环相扣,逐步推进,帮助学生完成由感性认识到理性认识的飞跃。1.激趣导入良好的开端是成功的一半。德国的普克朗认为:“思考可以构成一座桥,让我们通向新知识”。因此,一开始,我就运用对比方法,进行设问,福州和西安、南京、北京一样也是历史文化名城,你们同意吗?
根据课标要求,参照教科书,支撑这一问题解决的知识有:⑴文化生活的特点;⑵文化生活的两面性;⑶发展文化生活的基本要求。其中重点问题是辨别文化生活的“喜”与“忧”。只有辨别清楚,才能趋利避害,才能积极主动的参与健康向上的文化生活。从而为怎样发展为人民大众所喜闻乐见的文化打下基础。由于高二学生尚未学习哲学知识,所以它也是本节的一个难点,同时,由于学术界对什么是大众文化,大众文化有那些基本特征,存在着分歧,所以正确把握大众文化的含义也成为本节课的一个难点。三、学情分析:应该说高二学生已经参与了不少的文化生活。但由于其正处在三观形成的关键时期,对文化生活的参与还比较盲目,缺少理性思考,以至付出沉重的代价。很显然通过本框的学习,学生会更加理性的参与文化生活,从而健康茁壮的发展、成长。四、教学目标:基于以上分析,我将本框题的教学目标确定为以下三个方面:(1)知识目标:了解目前我国文化生活的现状,知道人们的文化生活是色彩斑斓的,但也存在令人忧虑的现象;把握大众文化的丰富内涵;明确发展为人民大众所喜闻乐见的文化必须坚持的原则、方针等。
师:在科学发展过程中,前一个理论体系的不完善之处,往往是新的研究和新的发现的突破口。开普勒之后,意大利天文学家伽利略创制了天文望远镜,用更加精确的观察继续发展和验证哥白尼创立的新天文学理论。除了用望远镜进行天文观察以外,伽利略还开始进行自然科学的实验研究,哪位同学能给大家讲一讲伽利略在比萨斜塔上所作的关于物体自由下落的实验?生:(讲述这一实验)师:所以,伽利略在科学方面更加重要的贡献是奠定了近代实验科学的基础。(2)实验科学和唯物主义师:伽利略从实践上开辟了实验科学的方法,而英国唯物主义哲学家培根则从理论上阐述了实验科学的方法——归纳法。培根和伽利略同被称为实验科学之父,培根还有一句影响深刻的名言:“知识就是力量”,表明了他注重知识,尊崇科学的精神。我们再来概括一下意大利哲学家布鲁诺的唯物主义思想,是否有同学可以简述布鲁诺的生平事迹?
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.

Example:One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door found that he only had one dime(一角)left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. 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. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. 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.
1. 这个寓言是一个关于一位国王古寓言。 The fable is an old fable about a king.2.作者用这个故事让读者对于社区的问题负有个人责任的必要印象深刻。The author used the story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community.3. 这个故事十分成功的实现了它的目的。The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose.Step 7 WritingPlease write a review of the story according the outline above.The fable is an old fable about a king who thought his people are lazy, so he put a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waited to see if anyone will try to move it.The author used this story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. 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. Use this checklist to help your partner revise his/her draft.1. Does the writer give a short description of the story ?2. Does the description include the most important details of the story ?3.

The themes of this part are “Talk about how to become an astronaut” and “Talk about life in space”. As Neil Armstrong said “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand. Space is difficult for human to reach, therefore, humans are full of wonders about it. However, if wanting to achieve the dream of reaching the Moon, some of our human should work hard to be an astronaut at first. Part A(Talk about how to become an astronaut) is a radio interview in a radio studio, where the host asked the Chinese astronauts about his story how to become an astronaut. Yang Liwei told his dreamed to be an astronaut since childhood. Then he worked hard to get into college at 22. The next 10 years, he gradually became an experienced pilot. At the same time, to be an astronaut, he had to study hard English, science and astronomy and trained hard to keep in good physical and mental health and to practise using space equipment. Part B (Talk about life in space) is also an interview with the astronaut Brown, who is back on the earth. The host Max asked about his space life, such as his emotion about going back the earth, the eating, shower, brushing, hobbies and his work. Part A and Part B are interviews. So expressing curiosity about the guests’ past life is a communicative skill, which students should be guided to learn.1. Students can get detailed information about how Yang Liwei became an astronaut and Max’s space life.2. Students learn to proper listening strategy to get detailed information---listening for numbers and taking notes.3. Students can learn related sentences or phrases to express their curiosity like “ I wish to know...” “I’d love to know...”4. Students can learn more about the space and astronauts, even be interested in working hard to be an astronaut
