9A U7 welcome to the unit 公开课反思
太仓市实验中学 孙子雯
教材分析
本单元主题为fims，属于人与社会下的电影产业、影视明星类别，welcome to the unit这一板块提供了在电影产业内进行职业选择的对话语篇，讨论了不同性格和能力对职业选择的影响，并呈现了不同电影类型的英文表达。
学情分析
九年级学生对电影话题非常感兴趣，主题与学生生活十分贴近， 对于电影类型和影视明星也有一定了解，但是对电影产业的职业选择等方面知识的了解还很有限，但仍然持有兴趣去了解。九年级学生具备通过听读获取信息的能力，大部分学生能够用英文表达自己的观点，但不可否认的是，两极分化比较明显，电影这一主题和表演的课堂活动会对提高学生的学习热情有所帮助。
教学与课堂反思
本堂课共设四个教学目标：By the end of the lesson, students are expected to: recognize and use expressions related to all kinds of films and film makers; talk about their favourite films and the reasons; complete a report to join the Film Club; realize that each position in film-making is important and unique and play an active role in their own life. 在申请加入学校的Film Club情境下开展课堂活动，学生依次完成三项任务从而加入社团，涉及听说读写任务。在Knowledge about films中学习了解不同电影类型以及电影从业者的各种职位，为后面的产出做好准备。在第二个任务Acting test中，串联漫画剧情，学生在这里练习表演，最后Make a report，将整堂课的终成果呈现。
本堂课在内容上难度不大，作为本单元的热身课非常适合，课堂上学生学习动机强烈，热情高涨，整体上呈现出了较好的精神面貌。学生在模仿、表演和对话中训练语音语调、口语表达以及表演能力，自主学习和合作学习能力得到锻炼。
在最终呈现的report中，涉及填写学生最喜欢的一部电影的内容，有一部分学生很用心，记了课堂前半部分提到的几部电影的名字，如Titanic， The Wandering Earth, 课本A部分也有涉及，然而还是有相当一部分学生反映不知道怎么写。如果能在课前或者课后布置任务，如用英语介绍自己喜欢的电影，就能充分利用学生的兴趣，促使他们主动学习。或者，也可以进一步展开讨论：What makes a good film? Is one’s charming appearance the only condition to be a superstar?如此，学生吧所学内容与自己的知识经验相融合，构建自己的电影评价标准，综合多种信息从不同的视角进行评价和思考what makes a superstar?以发展学生的逻辑思维、发散思维和口头表达能力，培养学生思维的严密性和深刻性。
