? ? ? 周四的上午是早讀加四節(jié)連堂課待错。學生們卻很期待褐澎,因為周四是讀報日会钝,初三也不例外;同時工三,孩子們提前得知了這周四的課間是Queen樂隊包場迁酸。
? ? ? 周三就Page 8的文章的第一段提出了兩個online quest的任務,1. Why did Queen become one of the most famous and important rock bands in history? 2.Why did Freddie Mercury the band's lead singer die so early?
? ? ? 課上們首先分享了其收集的信息徒蟆。針對問題一胁出,孩子們從不同角度進行解讀。
? ? ? S1翻出了樂隊的學霸背景 “Queen was probably the most educated rock band ever. Guitarist Brian May graduated from London's Imperial College, Freedie Mercry had a masters of Art; John Deacon had a masters in electronic engineering, and Rodger Taylor was the least educated with a BS in biology.”
? ? S2對S1做了補充“The guitarist Brain May lives and learns. He even works for NASA these years.”
? ? S3從音樂的角度分析“The songs from Queen are various and mixed. Some of them are elegant such as Barcelona, The Golden Boy, Someone to Love, Loe of My Life while others are quite strong including I Will Rock You, Adio Ga Ga, Under Pressure. However, my favourite one is We Are the Champions due to its inspiring lyrics.”
? ? S4從文化角度分析“The band Queen spread a voice of the young in Britain and other countries from all the ages. They understand the confused and lost generation deeply and encourage them as well.”
? ? S5從社會角度分析“Queen dare say no to the media.”
? ? 小結的時候段审,補充了從“文學”的角度看待Queen的音樂。敘事:黏連闹蒜;反諷寺枉;以及“作者已死”。
? ? 針對問題二绷落,孩子們通過why died找到了“真相”又感到惋惜繼而引發(fā)討論姥闪。
? ? S1談到了社會問題 “Freddie announced he was bisextual which was accepted by the public. I think it was a big step for the society. But I can imagine it was very hard at that time.”
? ? S2談到個人的事業(yè)觀“Freddie knew his death's coming soon. He devoted himself to Music.”
? ? ……
? ? 簡單反思:課前任務的設置需要有挖掘的空間。常常以布置背景知識的搜尋為內(nèi)容砌烁,多問幾個“why”筐喳,不由地涵蓋了對文化的探究催式、對社會倫理的討論。借此避归,孩子們還可以進行自我文化意識的覺醒荣月,同時可以進行自我的道德教育。附加值梳毙,增加了對英語學習的興趣哺窄。配套的課間Queen Live音樂包場,收獲了幾只調(diào)皮猴對Queen崇拜的目光账锹,更收獲了兩個學習動力缺乏的孩子合著拍子哼唱時候滿足的樣子萌业。
