Chapter 6 Food for Thought-more Reading
一、 章节分析(Reading section)
(一)阅读地位(Reading Position)
1 本文是对生活饮食中的辨题为讨论的切入口,提出做事不能走极端。并表达观点,最后做总结。这是一篇典型的讨论均衡饮食的议论文。全文分三段,结构清晰,脉络分明,是学生学习写议论文的很好的范例。
2 分析文章中段与段的联系和段内的语言表达。如opening paragraph 的引入中,用了many people believe…others say that …的对比,we also hear …另一观点的引入。在supporting paragraph 中,用了Obviously, you might think that… 来表达本文的观点,并用了科学家的两个提醒和一个例子来论证观点。如Scientists have again and again warned us that…/ Scientists have also told us that…/ They say, for example…在conclusion paragraph 中,用了Therefore, 来总结强调文章观点并加以延伸。在讲课中教师要注意总结议论文三段论的写法。可以找一些论题做操练。
3 结合本课的语法重点学会在表达观点时正确使用宾语从句,尤其是动词的用法。如 believe, say, think, warn, tell 等等。建议以旧带新,温故知新。
4 其它表示观点的句式和句型。
Who is right and what is your opinion?
Are you easily influenced by one piece of advice today and then by another one tomorrow?
It seems that perhaps the most intelligent thing for us to do is not to eat first but to read first.
5 本文建议用课本中的listening做warming-up, 完成A1前可以听一遍课文录音并填词,再通过阅读完成A2的练习。
(二)阅读目标(Reading Target)
知识 通过文章的阅读学会对观点的表达,并注意段落中的结构和层次,段落间的过渡等等。尤其对一些表达观点的词和句的正确表述。
能力 通过对文章的结构分析,培养学生对观点的简单陈述,注意开头段,主体段和结尾段的布局,以及主体段的分析角度。使学生能基本掌握议论文的写作方法。
情感 本文就饮食的均衡问题展开议论。在饮食问题的讨论中强调均衡的重要性,要求学生学习的同时要注意健康,学会珍惜生命。在观点的阐述中说明做事不能走极端,要学会掌握有关的科学信息来指导行为,从而学会尊重科学,尊重事实的正确的人生态度。
1 运用 believe, say, think, tell,say 等动词来阐述观点。
2 运用一些对比句和过渡次来表述文章的观点和层次。Many people believe, others say that…. We hear…在主体段中,用了Obviously… Scientists have again and again warned us that…/ Scientists have also told us that … They say…在结束段中,用了Therefore来做总结。
3 操练有关饮食的词汇。如sugar, vegetarians, a balanced diet, favorite food, cheeseburgers, proteins等等。让学生在日常生活对话中能熟练使用。

1) We also hear similar conflicting arguments about meat between vegetarians and meat-eaters.
我们依然会听到在素食者和食肉者之间类似的争论。
2)Obviously, you might think that going to extremes is not the right way, for the importance of having a variety of food in one’s diet is quite clear today.
很明显,由于一个人的饮食中须含有不同种食品的重要性如今已很明显了,你会认为走极端是不行的。
3)Therefore, it seems that perhaps the most intelligent thing for us to do is not to eat first but to read first.
= For that reason, it seems that it is most intelligent for us not to eat but to read first.
因此,对我们而言,最聪明的做法似乎是先读而不是先吃。

这能帮助我们分辨出事实和错误的观点。
3 语法点:
本课出现了不少表达观点的宾语从句,尤其注意其动词的用法以及其它与表达观点有关的句式。
二、 教学设计(Teaching Designs)
教学内容 教学实施建议 教学资源参考
1 Pre-reading 建议教师以练习中的listening作为warming-up引入,使学生对食物中的卡路里有所了解,来引入适量的饮食对人体健康的重要性。
提出课题Neither too little, nor too much.
具体处理这部分内容的建议以及相关的背景见[链接1]。
可以提供教师教参的相关页码;推荐参考名称(出版社);网站名称等
2 While-reading 这是一篇以讨论均衡饮食为背景的典型的议论文,分为开头段,主体段和结尾段。下面是如何处理阅读课

说明:
引入是课堂的关键步骤,它的成败影响到整课的成败。它不仅起到引入课题的作用,而且可以开启学生思维的空间,更快地进入语言的情境中。在本课中教师可以通过练习中的listening作为warming-up引入,使学生对事物中的卡路里有所了解,来引入“适量的饮食对人体健康的重要性”提出课题Neither too little, nor too much. 这是教师充分运用课本内容的机会。如果将这部分教材作为练习,比较呆板,枯燥。
1 教师通过展示一些图片,或指定一些食物大类的名称(如vegetables、snacks、soft drinks、fruit、meat、fish等)要求学生根据有关知识说出卡路里的含量。使学生对此有点概念。
2 教师要求学生听录音。并填出有关事物中所含卡路里的量。
You are going to hear the nutritional values of some foods. Listen carefully and write down the corresponding numbers of calories in these foods.
Tape script (Oxford text book I p. 107)
One cup or glass of whole milk has 165 calories.
One cup or glass of skimmed or powdered milk has 90 calories.
One large fried egg has 100 calories.
