牛津高中英语设计
单　　元：Unit 2 Language
板　　块：Project 1
堂设计指导思想：
如果“Welcome”是一个单元的序曲，Project则是单元的尾声。就像一首动听感人的乐曲，需要每个节都有恰到好处的表现一样，单元的处理也要采取各种适当的方式进行演绎。 Project的设计通常由两部分构成：一篇阅读本和学生的合作项目，要处理得得当，真正操作起是有很高的要求的。这种要求体现在：学生方面，需要投入大量的时间、精力以及超出语言学习本身的各种社会交往、协调、工作能力；对于老师，则要有统筹、策划和全盘掌控、指导的能力。在很多学校，由于受到时间的限制或是应试的影响，“Project”往往予以忽略，或者干脆作为“Reading”教，这与“Project”设计的本初衷是相违背的，对于学生终身发展也是错过了很好的锻炼机会。所以“Project”还是要还其本面目，当然我们不能否认从中国国情的实际出发，我们在具体操作上应该因时因地制宜，作出适当调整和取舍，这是符合客观规律的。本时的设计为“Project”的第一时，主要是侧重于本的处理。对于“Project”的本，我们在实际操作中达成了这样的认识：本是用以阅读的，但是不同于“Reading”的阅读，“Project”的本阅读不是单单以获取信息、了解本为目的的，它的存在是以阅读为基础，为下一时的图册本设计提供信息与蓝本。
