P18. 教材分析與教材重組1教材分析本單元的中心話題是“感受英語幽默”，其中涉及到了幽默的種類及其代表人物，并就中外幽默進行了粗略的比較，以此讓學生感受英語幽默的內涵。1.1 WARMING UP中提出了三個問題：How many kinds of humour do you know？Do you know these kinds of humour？ Do you have other kinds of humour in China？這三個問題直指本單元中心話題，為下一步的閱讀理解作了準備。1.2 PR

8、E-READING在WARMING UP 的基礎上提出了另外三個問題：What do you like to laugh at？ What does humour mean？ Is humour always kind？這三個問題進一步讓學生了解幽默的含義，即把缺陷與完美、荒唐與合理、愚笨與機敏等兩極對立的屬性不動聲色地結合起來，在對立統(tǒng)一中見其深刻的意義。1.3 READING以美國著名喜劇大師Charlie Chaplin的表演為例，為學生展示了幽默的內涵。第一段以常見的踩香蕉皮滑倒為例，指出了幽默的內涵之一：“Perhaps it makes us feel more content w

9、ith our life because we feel there is someone else worse off than ourselves”.從第二段開始介紹卓別林以其獨特的表現方式成為著名的幽默大師，文中列舉了兩部他的喜劇片，一部是The Little Trump，另一部是The Gold Rush。前者以其穿著及行為而受到了人們的喜愛；后者通過吃皮鞋這一片段，讓人領略了他的無與倫比的想象力與幽默感。卓別林將滑稽的相貌、夸張的穿戴和離奇的想象完美地結合起來，出于現實而又超脫現實。令人在捧腹大笑的同時，感到了他對待苦難的積極態(tài)度，和對下層小人物的同情。這篇文章揭示了幽默的內涵，給學

10、生留下了思考的余地：Is humour always kind？1.4 COMPREHENDING分為兩部分。第一部分以填寫表格的形式讓學生練習寫閱讀筆記，同時提示他們人物傳記的寫法，讓學生了解文章結構。第二部分練習課文中出現的生詞。1.5 LEARNING ABOUT LANGUAGE包括詞匯和語法兩部分。詞匯部分強調用英語來解釋詞匯，并在實際情景中使用所學詞匯。 語法部分主要通過大量的例句和習題來實現讓學生自主學習的目的，總結-ing形式在句中作表語、賓語和賓語補足語的用法。1.6 USING LANGUAGE部分, 從聽、說、讀、寫四個方面來學習和鞏固所學語言知識，全面體現語言運用能力。

24、wo poems we can see that Edward Lear used a kind of magnification to make his poem funny. But because the sense of humour of English and Chinese is different, sometimes what they feel funny would not sound funny to us. But if you want to make fun of one of your friends, you can send them to him/her.
