英語短篇小說閱讀課教案

⑴ 英語公開課如何上好寓言故事的短文閱讀

各位領導、專家、同仁：
大家上午好！
上周，接到通知，讓我在此次教研基地活動中做一個講座，就「課外閱讀」這個主題談一點個人的看法。《世說新語》中有「戰戰慄慄，汗不敢出」之語，今天坐在台前，有這么多的專家、精英在，也深感惶恐。我的看法肯定算不上講座，只就個人對於課外閱讀的認識及自己的一些做法，向各位做個匯報，不當之處敬請批評指正。
我今天和大家交流的題目是《最是書香能致遠——小學生課外閱讀方法的指導》。作為語文人，我們都知道，「課外閱讀」現在是一個熱詞，其實，它本身就應是一個熱詞，思想意識上可以說人人重視。但我們也應該看到，在加強學生課外閱讀的工作上，我們在平時真的做了多少，做了多少有價值的，這還真的不好說。
一、 也談課外閱讀的重要性
前段時間，在朋友的微信中，看到了這樣一個故事，題目是「孩
子數學成績不好，要不要靠補課提高」，回答是——閱讀才是最佳方法。
我是相信閱讀的力量的，閱讀能影響數學和其他的學科學習，那他對於學生語文素養的發展功力，還有什麼可以懷疑的呢？
點擊：
課標語：
（一）給你閱讀量的硬性規定：
第一學段：積累自己喜歡的成語和格言警句。背誦優秀詩文50篇(段)。課外閱讀總量不少於5萬字。
第二學段：養成讀書看報的習慣，收藏並與同學交流圖書資料。課外閱讀總量不少於40萬字。
第三個學段：擴展閱讀面。課外閱讀總量不少於100萬字。
（二）再給你關於閱讀的寬泛建議：讓學生少做題，多讀書，好讀書，讀好書，讀整本的書。鼓勵學生自主選擇閱讀材料。
讀童話寓言、故事、詩歌、散文、長篇文學名著、當代文學作品、科普科幻的讀物和政治歷史文化各類讀物。
新課標是綱，我們不能要求它細到面面俱到，因為它是大而不微的。也有眾多名家見解，我們來看一下——

名家雲：
三分課內，七分課外。——張志公
國文教學的目標，要養成閱讀書籍的習慣，培植欣賞文學的能力，訓練寫作文字的技能。
得法於課內，得益於課外。——葉聖陶
讓孩子學好語文的方法不是去參加補習班，也不是做練習題，而是閱讀、閱讀再閱讀。
我的教育信念的真理之一，便是無比相信書的教育力量。
——蘇霍姆林斯基
前輩們的觀點，讓我們在語文教學當中一定要有這樣的一個意識，就是只靠一本教材是無法學好語文的，是無法指導學生學好語文的，還應該更深刻地認識到：
點擊：課外閱讀天然就是語文教學的一個部分，而且是一個非常重要的部分，甚至還是所有學科的重要組成部分。
二、也談小學生課外閱讀的現狀
為了了解學生課外閱讀情況，科學引領學生養成良好的讀書習慣，開辟我校小學生課外閱讀環境，我們曾對五、六年級小學生的課外閱讀情況作了調查。
調查結果：

寒假剛一開始，我就回故鄉了。自然我須好好利用它。 早晨我復習功課並閱讀報紙或雜志。下午我和朋友打球，或去河中釣魚。晚上我就和家人看看電視。牆上的鍾剛敲十下，我就去睡覺了。

4.I live very happily today! In the morning, it is very fine!

7.An indivial human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Graally the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their indivial being.
人的生命應當像河流，開始是涓涓細流，受兩岸的限制而十分狹窄，爾後奔騰咆哮，翻過危岩，飛越瀑布，河面漸漸開闊，河岸也隨之向兩邊隱去，最後水流平緩，森森無際，匯入大海之中，個人就這樣毫無痛苦地消失了。

8.Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春意味著戰勝懦弱的那股大丈夫氣概和擯棄安逸的那種冒險精神。往往一個60歲的老者比一個20歲的青年更多一點這種勁頭。人老不僅僅是歲月流逝所致，更主要的是不思進取的結果。

9.Most people think writing and reading are more important in English learning, but in my opinion, speaking is even more important. So the key point of how to improve your English is "don't be shy". Try to open your mouse and be confident and English corner will be the best place for you When you can do this, you have been moved a large step on the way of your English learning. After this, you can try to watch more English drama and movies and singing English songs. Even reading English novels is a pretty good choice which not only memories grammars.

許多人認為在學習英語的過程中寫和看是最重要的，但我認為，說英語更為重要。所以提高你英語的方式就是『不要害羞』。試著打開你的嘴和變得有自信，英語中心是你最好的學習英語的地方。當你這樣做的時候，在你學習英語的過程中，你已經跨出了一大步。之後，你可以試著去多看一些英語戲劇，電影，和唱英文歌。不僅只記英語語法的話，讀英文小說也是一個不錯的選擇

10.Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to st.
光陰可以在顏面上留下印記，而熱情之火的熄滅則在心靈上刻下皺紋。煩惱、恐懼、缺乏自信會扭曲人的靈魂，並將青春化為灰燼

11.The Old Cat

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unk
ind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

老貓

一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。

於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」

⑶ 有哪些英國短篇小說適合英語專業的學生閱讀

（《木馬贏家》）講述了一個家庭被金錢蒙蔽了雙眼，親情不再，人與人之間內的關系被物質異化的故事容。一向都是勞倫斯最擅長描繪的物質主義下人的異變的故事。勞倫斯的詞句不難，但是每個詞底下暗流涌動，生機勃勃，文風自成一派。作為初入門的勞倫斯研究者，我覺得開口評價這位英國文學大師，已經誠惶誠恐。勞倫斯的長篇小說如《查泰萊夫人的情人》，《兒子與情人》都膾炙人口，但是短篇小說也許在國內受眾不多。這篇"TheRocking-HorseWinner"是不可多得的佳作，值得一讀。

⑸ 英語小故事帶翻譯10篇50字

英語小故事—The Real Princess
小學403字
There was once a prince who wished to marry a princess; but then she must be a real princess. He travelled all over the world in hopes of finding such a lady; but there was always something wrong. Princesses he found in plenty; but whether they were real princesses it was impossible for him to decide, for now one thing, now another, seemed to him not quite right about the ladies. At last he returned to his palace quite cast down, because he wished so much to have a real Princess for his wife.

從前有一位王子，他想找一位公主結婚，但她必須是一位真正的公主。他走遍了全世界，想要尋到這樣的一位公主。可是無論他到什麼地方，他總是碰到一些障礙。公主倒有的是，不過他沒有辦法斷定她們究竟是不是真正的公主，她們好象總是有些地方不大對頭。結果，他只好回到自己的皇宮來，心中很不快活，因為他是那麼渴望著得到一位真正的公主。

One evening a fearful tempest arose, it thundered and lightened, and the rain poured down from the sky in torrents: besides, it was as dark as pitch. All at once there was heard a violent knocking at the door, and the old King, the Prince's father, went out himself to open it.

It was a princess who was standing outside the door. What with the rain and the wind, she was in a sad condition; the water trickled down from her hair, and her clothes clung to her body. She said she was a real princess.

有一天晚上，忽然起了一陣可怕的暴風雨。天空中風馳電掣，大雨傾盆而降，四周一片漆黑。就在這時，響起了一陣劇烈的敲門聲，老國王自己去開門。

站在城外的是一位公主。可是，天哪!經過了風吹雨打之後，她的樣子是多麼難看啊!水沿著她的頭發和向下面流，她的衣服粘在身上。她說她是真正的公主。

Ah! we shall soon see that! thought the old Queen-mother; however, she said not a word of what she was going to do; but went quietly into the bedroom, took all the bed-clothes off the bed, and put a little pea on the bedstead. She then laid twenty mattresses one upon another over the

pea, and put twenty feather beds over the mattresses.

Upon this bed the Princess was to pass the night.

是的，這點我們馬上就可以考查出來。 老皇後心裡想，可是她什麼也沒說。她靜靜地走進卧房，把所有的被褥都搬開，在床榻上放了一粒豌豆。然後她取出二十床墊子，把它們壓在豌豆上。隨後，她又在這些墊子上放了二十床鴨絨被。

這位公主夜裡就睡在這些東西上面。

The next morning she was asked how she had slept. Oh, very badly indeed! she replied. I have scarcely closed my eyes the whole night through. I do not know what was in my bed, but I had something hard under me, and am all over black and blue. It has hurt me so much!

Now it was plain that the lady must be a real Princess, since she had been able to feel the little pea through the twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. None but a real Princess could have had such a delicate sense of feeling.

So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess; and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.

豌豆公主

第二天早晨大家問她昨晚睡得怎樣。 啊，不舒服極了! 公主說， 我差不多整夜沒合上眼!天曉得我床上有件什麼東西?我睡到一塊很硬的東西上面，弄得我全身發青發紫，這真怕人!

現在大家就看出來了。她是一位真正的公主，因為壓在這二十床墊子和二十床鴨絨被下面的一粒豌豆，她居然還能感覺得出來。除了真正的公主以外，任何人都不會有這么嫩的皮膚的。

因此那位王子就選她為妻子了，因為現在他知道他得到了一位真正的公主。這粒豌豆因此也就被送進了博物館，如果沒有人把它拿走的話，人們現在還可以在那兒看到它呢。

⑹ 英文小說閱讀

【前言】不求得分 只求幫忙
【回答】
一、這是個很好的學英語的方法！既然是看小說，就回是泛讀，沒答必要記住每個陌生單詞。只有反復出現六七次的，你可以查查記到本子上。這種方法也不用管語法，主要是快速閱讀，培養語感。否則為了查單詞、扣語法而耽誤了大量時間，影響整體理解。
二、另外，學英語還可以聽歌曲、看電影、寫日記（都是英文哦）。效果很好！例如，把你小說中遇到的一些重點詞用到日記中，或者寫一下你的讀後感，一箭雙雕。
三、總之，做一些既能提高水平，你又喜歡的事情，形成良性循環，這叫一箭雙雕，而你的英語水平就會如虎添翼。

希望有幫助，Good luck!

⑺ 適合初學者看的英文小說

一、Charlie and the Chocolate Factory《查理和他的克工廠》

一本有趣好看而充滿想像力的童話小說，講述了窮孩子查理幸運拿到可以進入巧克力工廠參觀的金券後，一系列的奇遇。 在書中可以看到，小查理和他的家裡人過的生活雖然貧窮，可他們深深地懂得愛，這維持了他們除生活外的一切滿足感，看完如果意猶未盡，還可以看看同名電影。

二、The wonderful wizard of Oz《綠野仙蹤》

故事講述了小蘿莉多蘿西被大風吹到一個奇異國度(奧茲國)的奇遇記。這個可愛的小故事裡有一個善良的小蘿莉，一個稻草人，一個鐵皮機器人與一個獅子。短小精悍，沒什麼難度，易讀易懂，卻又引人入勝。

三、Flipped《怦然心動》

這本便是同名電影的原著小說，它講述了一個單純美好的故事，裡面有美好的田園風光和校園生活，還有屬於布萊斯和朱莉的故事。小說要比電影有意思很多，相信你看的時候一定會笑出聲來。敘述以男孩和女孩視角的章節交錯進行，畫面感很強。

四、Hyperbole and a Half- Allie Brosh我幼稚的時候好有范

比爾蓋茨2015年的推薦書單里就有這本奇特的小書，他說道：你會希望小說更長，因為這些故事很有趣，很睿智。它故事短小，畫風奇特，非常適合於碎片時間閱讀。

五、The little word of Liz Climo你今天真好看

這本畫風萌系、溫暖的治癒系，收錄了莉茲克里莫150多張逗趣漫畫和小說情節。畫中的故事簡單卻動人，圍繞著各種萌萌的小動物展開，有兔子，蜥蜴，棕熊，企鵝等。簡短有趣的句子配上可愛清新的漫畫，很快就可以看完。

⑼ 短篇小說閱讀教學應注意哪些問題，抓住哪些特點

第一，讀，既是我國傳統語文學習的精髓，也是現代語文學習科學有效的方法。
第二，讀為主，是閱讀教學的性質和目的決定了的。
第三，只有讓學生讀，才能真切地體會課文的深意和情味，悟出文章的道理。

⑽ 求 英語閱讀一 的講課資料

考前沖刺系列——英語閱讀一串講講義(節選)

英語閱讀一串講講義

閱讀理解的解體要略
一篇文章包括主題，中心思想材料結構、語言、風格、效果等要素。一般而言閱讀有兩個目的。一是休閑,二是求知.但是考試閱讀理解的文章和題目是為了迅速准確回答文章後所附的問題。並充分展示綜合英語語言知識和閱讀技能來理解英語書面材料的能力。英語閱讀（一）
考試旨在考察對於全書三十五篇課文的內容寫作風格、語言、主題、人物刻畫以及深層次含義的分析和理解。而這三十多篇文章是以單元結構來劃分的。它們涉及到文學作品、歷史傳記、童話寓言、人物寫真等。我們知道，閱讀活動是獲取信息和知識的最重要、最直接同時也是最普通的一種手段。根據考綱的要求，閱讀就是要能理解所讀材料的主旨大意，分辨出其中的事實和細節；能夠理解字面意義和隱含意義，能根據所讀材料判斷和推理，能分析所讀材料的思想觀點、語篇結構、語言特點和修辭方法。
在對閱讀理解（一）的串講過程中，重點還是要向大家介紹最常用的同時也是最實用的閱讀方法。

1．「目讀」（只讀不看）
我們知道限制閱讀速度的不是大腦，而是眼睛。影響大腦反應思考的是眼睛攝取信息並將信息傳遞給大腦的速度。
2．略讀（skimming）
略讀是一種快速閱讀方法。略讀的目的不是幫助你搜尋細節，而是找出文章的主題、中心思想、組織結構的宏觀信息。
因此，略讀是只需注意文章的關鍵部分，如文章的第一段和最後一段，各段的第一、二和最後一句，其他部分可以一帶而過。
3．「尋讀」（scanning）
尋讀也是一種快速閱讀的方法，在正式閱讀之前，心中已有了明確的尋找目標，即文章中某一個具體的信息，如時刻、地點、人名、數字等。具體要做的就是先判斷所需信息可能在何處出現。然後將目光在此處逐字逐行快速移動，直到搜索到目標為止。
下面，我就和大家一道回顧復習三十五課的內容。
將分為五大部分進行講解。

第一部分 (Lesson 1 – lesson 5)

Lesson1, Gifts of the Magi
麥琪的禮物
重點段落如下（p4）
「Della stopped crying. she stood by the window and looked out .Tomorrow would be Christmas day and she had only are dollar eighty-seven cents with which to buy Jim a present. She had been saving every penny she could for months and this is all she had got. She had spent many happy hours planning something nice for him something fire and beautiful which was really worthy of Jim」
主人公Della和Jim是因為彼此深愛對方卻不能為對方送禮物而傷心哭泣。對於心理的描寫細膩入微，傳神逼真。

將Della滿懷深情的無奈和熱烈甜蜜的憧憬通過具體的描繪呈現在讀者面前。字里行間似乎是僅僅是因為沒有適合心意的禮物而透出淡淡的憂傷，但深層含義還包含著真愛，抗爭，風險和社會的不公，以及，貫穿始終的聖誕的禮物，愛人間的禮物，生命的饋贈和禮物。
文章另外一個重點段落，也就是文章的結尾段。
「The Magi brought presents to Jesus Christ on the first Christmas of all Christmas .They first had the idea of giving Christmas presents. They were wise. Here I have told you this story of two foolish children in a poor set of rooms who gave up for each other his or her greatest treasure. They chose their presents unwisely; but those gifts which are the sign of real love are the best gifts of all.
這一個結尾段點明了文章所要表達的主旨
real love is the best gifts of all .Meanwhile, please focus on some key words would help you better comprehensive. For instance: Wise, two foolish children, poor rooms greatest, give up. Unwise real love, If you can print out all these words which form an outline of the whole story .do you can use them to retell the story and answer the questions many related.
《麥琪的禮物》作為經典名篇，最可能考察的有以下幾點：1 主旨 2人物性格 3 寫作風格。其中「寫作風格」一向比較復雜，可以額外歸納為注重情節和心理刻畫，以細節取勝，結局出人意料。
Focus on details and psychological description, Plots winner and unexpected ending. Good order and delicate word choosing.
Tell you what』s the meaning of real love Touch your heart with beautiful story.
本文的另外一個重點是作者，O Henry: 歐.亨利。
O Henry is the penname of William Sidney Porter. He began to write in name of O. Henry at the time he was in prison. He is famous for short novel. He is a proctive whiter and a celebrated author.
本文可能會出現的問題。Possible questions and suggestion answers.
1) Do you think it is unwise of Mr. Mrs. young to give up for each other his of her greatest treasure what comments do you make about their choice?
（你認為他們彼此放棄最寶貴的東西是不明智的么？對於他們的選擇你有什麼評論么？）
(本文可以對照lesson30 true love 來學習。)
2） what is the theme (主題)of the story? How do you feel about the end of the story?
3） Where do you think the climax of the story lies?
(參考回答2.The theme of the story is 「real love is the greatest treasure in the world.」 Love is a complex word including the conflict between reflex and reflection The end of the story is the best part of the story. It has conquered the reader』s heart and offer them an unexpected strange for imagination.
3 The climax of the story lies on the when Jim and Della surprised saw each other with cut their own best treasures at the moment they want to gave out their planned presents.
Lesson 2 No Marriage No apologies
文章講述的是現代人在不同年齡段和生活背景下對於婚姻的看法和觀點。以及作者對此所展開的思想和討論。文章的體裁類似於社會調查報告，通過案例分析，數據對比，正反面論證，背景資料剖析等方法。理智分析了婚姻這一社會性問題。
一、 文章的主題表現在結尾段的評述中
The theme of passage is : 「We can』t go back to a society where people don』t have sex or live together at all before marriage, Nor do they want to one whole people are matched up at 20 for life」.
So, we should treat marriage with a wisely eye and calm attitude. Follow with the social trace and find our own way.

二 如何學習類似文章：
此類刊登在報刊上的文章往往通過擺事實講道理，例證，數據，等具體信息來闡述對於某一社會問題的見解。藉以引起人群的廣泛探討。 我們建議通過略讀和尋讀相結合的方法。即：注重文章的關鍵部分，每一部分的首句和結尾句。尋讀信息的出現點，數據，例證，結論等。這樣一來。看似雜亂無章的布局也會輪廓清晰起來，細節理順了，主題理解自然也會水道渠成。
三 文章中的重點論證：
The very dramatic thing is the difference in attitudes in nontraditionally family behavior. Professor Bumpass, citing data from survey that showed only small segment of people disapproved of the premarital sex and cohabitation . It is clear to me that the trends we have been observing are likely to continue, with a declining emphasis on marriage.
People see little difference between marriage and cohabitation.

需要注意的10個詞語：

1 disapprove of 2 skittish 3 cautious 4 spirit 5 mores 6 institution 7 consultant 8 cohabitation 9 fidelity 10 match up
(Compare with Lesson 11)

Possible questions:
1 For what reason are more people choosing cohabitation rather than marriage?
(For many people, cohabitation provides a chance for a shared life without a shared bank account; no less strength of commutation, more freedom and less ties.)
2 Do you think that there is a cause – and – effect relation between cohabitation and divorce?
( Cohabitation can not translate into a good marriage but can effect the divorce because of it』s limitations.)
Lesson 11
It is about upbringing a child and the ecation problem. Upbringing and ecation are interdependent. Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently
Experienced, it will influence his or her later development.
從更加一般的意義上講，培養孩子的問題是一個家庭內部關系的問題，其中首要的前提是孩子與父母有穩定的感情，他們在對待孩子的問題上必須態度一致，既考慮孩子的心理健康也要適時開啟他們的智力道德和社會責任感。
Lesson 3 The Decameron
