Teaching Plan for Module 1 Unit 3 Travel Journal (Reading)
Journey down the Mekong
Part 1 The Dream and the Plan by Hao Qin
一、教材分析
本节课讲述了主人公以旅行日志的形式详细地记录一段沿湄公河而下的自行车旅行经历。学生通过追随这一段旅程，探讨与“旅游”相关的各种话题。通过本节课的学习，不仅可以使学生学到与旅游有关的语言知识和技能，还会使学生对旅游产生浓厚的兴趣，通过旅行了解世界各地的文化，增加对祖国大好河山的热爱和国际意识，进而培养学生的跨文化交际能力。
二、学情分析
高中一年级的学生已经在初中阶段的英语学习中,已经积累了一定的词汇基础,并掌握了一些简单的学习策略和技巧,具有初步的英语听说读写能力。但是，学生个性和英语水平差异大，因此教学设计要有梯度，由浅入深，注意层次性。
英语作为一门语言，其最基本的作用就是人际交流。但是中国学生普遍的情况是不愿开口说英语。因此我在课堂要鼓励学生们利用每个机会开口说英语，以达到锻炼口语的目的。
三．教学目标
根据《新课程标准》的要求和学生已有的知识基础和认知能力，在仔细学习和分析教材的基础上，我确定了以下教学目标。 语言知识 掌握本课的生词和一些有用的表达方法； 掌握运用现在进行时表示将来的用法。 语言技能 学会用英语交流旅游计划; 运用语言组织能力来表达自己的观点。 情感态度 文化意识 学习策略 通过旅游增长见识，激发对祖国的爱和对生活的爱。 通过旅游了解世界各国文化，形成跨文化交际意识 在课外与同学结伴旅行，有效合作。 学习有效地使用地图，网络等资源……
四．教学重点和难点
１.重点：学会制作旅行计划；学会用现在进行时表将来的方法。

２.难点：提高学生阅读技能，口语运用能力和合作学习的能力。 五．教学用具和教学方法

2．教学方法：根据高中生的心理特点，宜采用形式多样的教学方法和学生积极主动参与的学习方式，激发学生的学习兴趣，让他们在学习中学会参与，在参与中学会学习。因此我采用了以下几种教学法。
