8BU7 Integrated skills教学反思

本节公开课为八年级下册第七单元Integrated skills，围绕UNICEF这一国际慈善机构展开。整节课以视频作为导入，让学生完成一个问答题引出UNICEF，其次完成填空了解UNICEF的职能。其次，让学生在听和写的过程中了解更多有关UNICEF的信息，并让学生思考：作为学生，我们可以做什么来支持UNICEF？最后，由Speak up部分引导学生了解孩子有什么权利以及如何实现这些权利。

此次公开课还有需要改进的地方：

1. 应基于大单元教学，将课时目标的设定更加整体化、目标化。

2. 对于语言目标的设定应增加难度梯度。从学生课堂表现来看，可以增加一些语言表达的难度。所增加的难度部分不要求所有孩子会说，但是可以体现在老师的课堂用语上。

3. 学生活动方式可以更多元。本次课堂所设计的教学活动较为单一，多以讨论、对话为主。

希望自己在今后的教学中注意这几方面，并且不断学习，努力更
