人教版高中英语第三册Unit 1 FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS教学设计
文本简析
本文是一篇说明文。全文共有五个段落，篇章结构为“总——分——总”。第一段提出主题：世界各地节日虽有差异，但表达感恩、追求幸福、希望和平和享受快乐的精神是相通的；第二段以丰收节日为例，说明在不同文化背景下，虽庆祝方式不同，但有着相同的意义；第三段讲述因社会发展和新观念传播，有些节日传统消失，有些传统却有了新的意义；第四段描述商业化趋势带给节日风俗的改变；第五段回顾主题，综述节日的意义所在。
文本标题是“Why Do We Celebrate Festivals?”，教师要指导学生梳理并掌握与主题相关的话题类语言，如：celebration, take place, get together, feature, gather, parade, feast等，和功能类语言，如：Although, no matter how, some… and others…, one example is…an
other example is…, actually, after all等。此外，学生通过解读标题、寻段落主旨句、辨识语篇结构，在阅读过程中更好地理解说明文如何论述主题信息，明确语篇行文逻辑，识别语篇直接表明或隐含的社会文化现象。在整个文本的学习过程中，教师引导学生逐步理解节日文化现象，鉴别文化现象中反映的价值取向，促进他们对文化差异和融通的理解和思考，探究产生异同的历史文化原因，领悟文化多样性和丰富性，形成人类命运共同体的意识。
