我从教材、教法、学法指导和教学过程四个方面对本课进行说明。
一、说教材:
1、教材所处的地位及作用:
这单元是9B的最后一个单元。以Great people为话题展开学习，该话题很容易引起学生的讨论兴趣。在welcome to the unit 部分，学生已初步学习了一些有关伟人的知识。Reading 是一个单元的核心部分，它承载着众多的教学任务。我将reading部分分作二课时进行教学，第一课时为阅读课，第二课时为语言知识学习课和练习巩固课。根据教材的安排及新课标要求学生通过体验，实践，参与，合作，交流和探究等方式学习和使用英语，真正体现以学习者为中心的教学理念，我详细说说第一课时的教学。基于本课在教材中所处的地位及作用，特制定以下教学目标。
2、教学目标:
知识目标: 1、To grasp some important language points.
2、To understand English idoms.
能力目标: 1、To guess general meaning from keywords and context.
2、To skim text for overall meaning and scan for details.
情感目标:To learn spirit from great people.
3、教学重点与难点:
To identify true or false statements based on the reading passage.
To extract relevant information from the reading passage.
二、说教法:
本节课我主要采用以下几种教学方法:
1、根据课文特点和学生实际情况，以情景教学法进行教学。
通过形象生动的'图片及相关资料，调动学生的学习兴趣, 激起学生情感上的共鸣，从而引导学生从整体上理解课文、从细节分析课文，促进学生的语言能力及其情感等方面整体发展。
2、采用小组学习法，扩大教学范围。
把学生分成四人小组，也可以自由组合，让他们在互动中启发思维。同时注意保证每个学生都有机会参与到学习中来，培养学生与伙伴合作的意识和策略。
3、运用操练法，拓宽学习渠道。
把大部分课堂时间留给学生，使学生在多信息、高密度、快节奏的灵活操练过程中拓宽学习渠道。
三、学法指导:
这一节是阅读课，九年级的学生已具有一定的英语阅读能力，听说能力在原有的基础上也得到了进一步的提高，但参与课堂的积极性有所下降。针对以上学情，所以我先指导学生进行快速阅读和深层阅读，帮助学生运用自主学习法来把握课文整体，培养学生的分析归纳独立思考的能力;鼓励学生小组活动，让每个人，尤其是那些薄弱同学，都能参与到课堂的学习中，能动手完成一些基础的学习任务和学习目标，重在激发学生学习英语的兴趣，通过讨论让他们主动去涉取知识。
