1． 总体思路
通过本单元前面所学内容及电影Finding Nemo片段作为引入，激活学生对于海底世界的兴趣，为后面的教学做好铺垫。 然后通过设置不同的阅读任务，使学生更好的理解文章。首先，匹配文章各个段落描写的要点，从而培养学生学会快速获取信息、处理信息的能力。接着让学生在文中找出作者看到的海底生物并关注作者如何描述，了解文章主要细节信息，使学生对文章内容及语篇行文的特点有更加深刻的了解。这两个部分都由学生课前通过预习课文完成，课堂上直接就这两个部分进行提问及分析。 接着，通过朗读文章第一段和最后一段，讨论作者使用的不同情绪表达方式，使学生更好地感受并了解作者当时的情绪。设置情景进行角色扮演，使学生能充分利用所学内容, 在具体情景运用当中实现所学知识的有效输出，并同时训练他们的综合表达能力。最后，对课文的内容进行总结，有利于巩固本节课所学内容。 2． 教学过程 Stage 1 Lead-in
