Chapter 5 Family Lives
致远中学 朱伟韵
一、背景
上海市最近出台了《关于加强和改进未成年人思想道德建设实施意见》,其中强调要加强对青少年学生的“责任意识”,要通过开展“责任意识教育”让学生树立正确的人生观观,培养对自己和他人生命珍惜和尊重的态度,增强爱心和社会责任感,使学生在人格上获得健全发展。因此在学科中渗透“生命教育”这一现代教育理念,已被越来越多的老师所接受并在课堂中实施。
牛津英语教材(上海版)九年级第二学期的Chapter 5 的Family Lives 讲述的是通过对比两个学生不同的家庭生活,特别是这两个学生对于“零花钱”的不同看法引导学生作出正确判断。文章内容丰富、充实,对于具有一定阅读能力的初三同学来说,理解课文的内容和用简单的英语进行表达并没有很大的困难,但现在的学生对于该不该要零花钱和怎样使用零花钱的看法各不一样,如何正确引导学生正确地理解本课设置的真正含义,以及如何才能获得真正平等、快乐、幸福的家庭生活是这堂课的重要目标之一。

教学反思:
在课堂教学中教师必须把学生作为一个鲜活的生命个体来看待,促进学生的发展,宽容个体差异,应使学生始终处于被激励的气氛中,让他们在课堂中焕发出生命的活力。我觉得课堂上我应多用激励性的语言对学生的观点进行肯定,以鼓励学生开口说话的积极性;应给学生一定的时间进行充分的讨论,以便有更多的机会让学生表达他们对家庭生活及孩子的零花钱问题的一些看法。
家庭是社会最小的细胞组织,对于现在的独生子女来说,似乎家庭生活就是一大家子围着他们团团转。通过本课两个截然不同的学生家庭生活对比,让同学们明白人与人之间是平等的,学会尊重他人,先要学会尊重父母,热爱祖国,先要热爱自己的家。在讨论中,我很高兴地看到,同学们对于两种家庭生活都给出了正确地判断。同时,对于“零花钱”这一话题,谈出了他们自己的看法。对家庭的责任感,也正是这篇课文所要提出的教育目的。
