全国教育科学“十一五”规划教育部重点课题——《中国基础英语素质教育的途径与方法》
《典范英语》（7_12）教学参考
Cool Clive
教学参考的目的在于为实验课提供一个基本的思路和框架，帮助实验教师更好地把握课
题理念。课题组鼓励实验教师结合学生的实际情况适当做出调整，将实验课上出特色。
一、教学目标
1．语言目标：学生能够听懂并理解故事的内容；能够有感情地、绘声绘色地朗读；能够复述故事的主要情节；能够完成与故事相关的写作任务。
2．非语言目标：鼓励学生遇到困难不气馁，积极动脑解决问题；让学生明白付出劳动才能有所收获；引导学生重视劳动与智慧的内在美。
说明：语言目标由教师负责检查，确保学生完成任务，达到要求。非语言目标具有开放性，需要教师围绕有意义的话题与学生进行真诚交流，激发学生的学习兴趣和参与热情，让学生在有思想、有内容的开放性语言实践活动中习得语言，树立正确的价值观。
二、课时安排
要求学生每周完成一部作品，每周安排一节或两节实验课，课时放在学生读完该部作品之后。
三、课前任务
要求学生每天朗读15-20分钟，辅以默读。做到听读结合，认真把握和体会故事的内容，并适当积累好词好句。
四、课堂教学基本步骤
1. 导入（Lead-in）：启发学生思考
教师提出与故事内容相关的问题，请学生回答，如： Do you have pocket money?
Have you ever tried a job to earn some money all by yourself? When do you want to earn money yourself? 教师简要总结后，引导学生进入故事情境：
Some families are not well-off, so they cannot afford everything their children want. Some parents want their children to experience the joy and hardships of life when young, so

they encourage them to earn money by themselves. What is Clive’s story? What was his problem? Why was Clive cool? Let’s find the answer from this story.
2. 复述（Retelling）：关注内容与语言表达的准确性，锻炼学生连贯表达思想的能力 教师针对每一章节提出问题，请学生尽量用自己的语言回答。如果学生遇到困难，可以通过图片启发学生。必要时，可以找出故事中的相关段落让学生大声读出来，然后组织答案回答问题。
Chapter 1:
What did Clive want badly? Why?（He wanted the right clothes. Because he wanted to look as cool as his friends.）
Could his mum buy all he wanted?（No, she couldn’t afford them, especially the trainers.） How did Clive feel?（He didn’t feel good.） Chapter 2:
What did Clive dream about?（He dreamed about those trainers he had seen in a shop window.）
What would he do to get them?（He would get a job and earn money to buy them.）
What was his first job? Did he save enough money?（His first job was to deliver papers. He didn’t earn enough money as a paper boy.）
Chapter 3:
What was his second job?（Then he got the second job to walk a dog. The dog was pretty hard to control.）
How did he end up with the job?（He messed up his job and the dog owner was unpleased with him.）
How did his own business end up? Did he earn money?（He started his own business to clean cars but this business was messed up, too. He damaged something and paid for it. He had nothing left except the messy equipment.）
Chapter 4:
What trouble did Toodles bring to the man with a bag?（Toodles was out of control again. A man with an important bag was scared and fell into a pond.）
Who helped save his bag?（His bag drifted around in the middle of the pond. It was Clive who helped.）
Why did Clive feel cool at the end of the story?（That man gave Clive all that he was mad about to thank him. Clive wore the new clothes and felt cool.）
回答完以上问题后，请学生按照“Clive的愿望是什么（Clive’s dream）——Clive为达成愿望努力做了哪些尝试（Clive’s efforts to realise his dream）——Clive最终如何实现了愿望（Clive’s realising his dream）”为线索，结合以上问题复述故事，可请两位同学按此要求在班上进行复述。
3. 朗读（Reading aloud）：朗读与思考相结合
在以上梳理故事内容的过程中，不难发现狗狗Toodles在故事情节的发展中起到至关重要的作用，请学生分组分角色朗读有关Toodles的内容，即P26-P30和P33-P37，要求学生

在理解故事的基础上读出故事中有趣的情景。朗读前，教师需提出以下问题请学生边朗读边思考：What is the dog Toodles like? Is it good or bad to keep such a dog? 学生朗读后，简要回答以上问题，能够自圆其说即可。
4. 采访（Interview）：训练学生积极思考、主动质疑的能力和表达能力
承接以上环节，教师导入采访活动：If you were Clive, would you thank or hate Toodles? 然后邀请一名学生到台上扮演Clive，请其站在Clive的立场，回答上面关于Toodles的问题。然后，请其他学生围绕着Clive打零工（odd jobs）一事向他自由提问，如：
What happened when you were a paper boy? Why did you stop being a paper boy?
Why did you stop walking the dog Toodles? Why didn’t you earn much money?
Would you start your own business again if you got a chance? Why? What do you think of yourself?
鼓励被采访者按照自己对故事的理解对提问进行回答，在遇到回答障碍时，教师应给予提示和帮助。
5.人物分析（Character Analysis）：培养学生的归纳能力
在以上采访的基础上，教师通过提问引导学生分析故事的主人公Clive： Why did things go wrong for Clive? Did he work hard?
Did he argue with his mum? Did he make mistakes? Was he careless? Was he clever?
What do you like about him?
教师把学生的观点简要列在黑板上，然后请几位学生借鉴这些关键的词句，用自己的话来描述人物，如：young，hard-working，careless，making mistakes，having good manners（not retorting）， clever， quick-thinking（get the important bag out of danger），cool等。鼓励学生在描述人物时，尽可能地用论据支撑自己的观点。
最后，可请学生回答：
Would you like to have Clive as a friend? Why?
6. 讨论（Discussion）：培养学生的批判性思维能力
结合故事主题（Solving a problem）和导入环节提出的问题，让学生分组讨论下列问题（可以把以下问题放在PPT上显示出来，但问题前的关键词语不要在PPT上显示，此处仅供教师参考）。讨论后，请小组代表在班上发言。
CLARIFY What problem did Clive have?（He wanted badly a pair of trainers, but his family couldn’t afford the trainers.）
EXPLAIN Why didn’t Clive hunt for some lost treasure or compete for some reward to get

money?（Money didn’t grow on trees. It’s more possible to work and get paid.）
CREATE What do you suggest to Clive to earn money?（可参考：Clive was too young to work. If he had to, he had better consult adults to check more information sources like newspapers, Internet, etc; Be careful on each job;…）
IDENTIFY How did he get the problem solved finally?（He helped a man. The man paid him back and gave him what he wanted for his great help. Clive just had his bit of luck.）
EXPLAIN Why was Clive cool?（He was confident and viewed himself as cool; He got himself dressed in new clothes and he looked cool; He was of great help to others, so he was cool.）
CONNECT If you were Clive, would you try hard to make yourself look cool? Why and How?（Open question.）
提醒学生进行讨论的规则是：（1）每个人都要有说话的机会；（2）别人讲话说不得打断、干扰；（3）支持并补充他人的观点；（4）如果不想说可以不说；（5）提问要深思熟虑。
7. 拼读训练（Phonics Practising）：培养拼读意识，掌握拼读技能
从下表中选几组具有相同拼读规律的单词罗列在黑板上，让学生从其读音中发现拼读规律，然后教师给出几个具有相同拼读规律的单词，让学生拼读。或者，教师读出两三个新的具有同种拼读规律的单词让学生依据读音拼写出来，之后，教师可把正确的单词写到黑板上，以此强化学生的拼读技能。 old bold hold turn earn burn
８. 语言欣赏（Language Appreciation）：体会语言之美
这个故事在表达方面形式较为灵活：图片繁而不杂，在其辉映下故事情感表现得更加饱满；气泡框（speech bubbles）在行文中的穿插使故事内容更显得生动有趣；字体的灵活选用不仅活跃了版式，更突出了文字意欲传递的效果，而省略号（ellipsis）、大写的单词（words in capital letters）等，或是让余音缭绕，给读者以想象的空间，或是强调了某一语义，增强了表达效果。教师可在该环节引导学生着重体会故事作者如何通过语言形式来表达人物的情感态度、增强故事内容的趣味性和可读性，如，让学生在理解的基础上朗读：
Look at those trainers, Mum. I don’t suppose... （P7） YES! That’s the job for me!（P25）
读完后，请学生体会省略号和大写单词在语义表达效果方面所起的作用（How do they affect expression?）。
也可以鼓励学生以说唱（rap）的形式，把P8-P9气泡框里的内容唱出来。唱完后，让学生体会故事主人公戏谑自己羡慕他人的悲喜心境。

９. 作业（Homework）
（1）写作（任选一题）
① 结合生活，叙述自己通过劳动和付出获得回报的经历及感悟。借鉴作品中的词汇和描写手法，要求有真情实感。
② 结合故事内容，想象Clive做别的工作可能发生的趣事，自编一个小故事，可参考以下题材：garage sale, gardening, making and selling cakes?（参见英文教案Teaching Notes） ▲ 要求学生写完后自我检查，可借助书籍或词典解决拿不准的单词，改进不通顺的句子。
（2）读下一部作品，注意体会作品内容，积累生词和好句。
五、教师自我反思：培养学生的思考能力
教师每堂课后要进行自我反思，反思的问题包括：
1. 提问。我问的问题值得讨论吗？问了多少个问题？什么类型的问题？
2. 讨论。老师和学生讨论了什么？学生是否试图回答了要问的问题？大家进行了很好
的讨论了吗？ 3. 听。师生相互认真倾听了吗？师生对他人的说法作出回应了吗？讨论中彼此互相尊
重吗？ 4. 说。师生清楚了解自己的想法吗？有什么好的想法吗？师生在这些想法上能够产生
更好的想法吗？每个人都有机会表达自己的观点了吗？谁说得最多？ 5. 思考。师生对问题找到答案了吗？答案给出的理由令人信服吗？师生愿意改变自己
的想法吗？师生进行了怎样的思考？师生从讨论中学到了什么？师生提升了自己的思考吗？有或没有？下一次讨论什么？下一次讨论的最好方式是什么？师生需要记住什么？
