Module 5 Unit1 教學設計
Reading --Secrets and lies & A friendship in trouble
教材分析：
“Secrets and lies & A friendship in trouble”圍繞本單元的主題“Getting along with others”，以書信的形式，向雜志的專欄作家反映了交友過程中遇到的煩惱------與好朋友爭吵，鬧矛盾。該文章以一個平常的視角，列舉了朋友相處過程中遇到的問題，同時，讓同學們領悟書信的字里行間傳達的感情。
文章以第一人稱講述，語言淺顯流暢，多用短句，學生讀起來會有身臨其境之感。而且文中很多語言都透露出英語語言的美感，欣賞性很強。
學情分析：
英語學習的面應該擴展到英語國家的歷史、文化、人文、地理等各個方面。教師任教的班級為理化班和物生班，班級中男生偏多，上課很有熱情。兩封書信的內容很容易在學生中產生共鳴。教師更關注激發學生探討解決問題的具體可行的途徑。
教學思路：
1. 老師通過安排閱讀任務、解決閱讀障礙的任務、以及讀后交流心得體會的任務，讓學生在小組合作過程中提高閱讀理解能力、猜詞能力和語言運用能力。
2. 引導學生進行自主性學習，善于發現問題，并且尋找解決問題的思路和方法。
3. 通過引導、啟發式教學，對學生進行文化知識的滲透。
4. 電腦輔助教學以增加課堂容量。

教后感：
1、對于課文重要語言現象的處理雖然比較詳細，但是缺少學生方面的操練和鞏固。因此，閱讀課中如何處理文章難點也是一個值得深究的方面。
2、學生閱讀的時間還是比較少，雖然課堂上有快速閱讀和精讀的步驟，但是，這些還遠遠不夠，因此要建議學生課后再重讀文章，尤其課上討論的復雜句式及語言優美的句子。
