Finish Exercise 4 on Page 15 of the textbook.A smart home is one that integrated computers into the structure of the building itself. In this way, many of the things that we now do ourselves become automatic. For example, the smart home could control the air conditioning and lights so that you would no longer have to turn switches on and off, and so that your home would be more energy-efficient. The smart home could also monitor itself to make sure that everything is working as it should, and send you warnings if there is a problem. Such smart homes could even be programmed to detect your health problems, and then give you reasonable advice as to the food you should eat or if you should see a doctor. So, in a sense, smart homes will lead us to living smarter lives.2.Create a smart function for your home, and share your creation in the next period.

第三部分(第3—8段):写小桃树艰难曲折的生长过程。第四部分(第9—14段):回到眼前情景,生动地描写小桃树在风雨中的挣扎。3.理清小桃树的生长过程。师:作者写小桃树时,将眼前之景与回忆交叉叙写。请同学们按照时间顺序,理清小桃树的生长过程。预设 小桃树的生长过程:桃核被埋在院子角落里(“我”将它忘却)—萌芽(嫩绿)—长到二尺来高(样子极猥琐)—有院墙高了(被猪拱,讨人嫌,被遗忘,奶奶照顾)—开花(弱小,遭大雨,没有蜂蝶恋过,花零落,在雨中挣扎)—高高的一枝儿上保留着一个欲绽的花苞(在风雨中摇着愣是没掉下去,像风浪里航道上的指示灯)。师小结:小桃树的经历充满磨难:在几乎被“我”忘却的时候却破土而出;出生后瘦弱可怜,遭到大家的嘲笑,连奶奶也说它没出息;它被猪拱过,又险些被砍掉;它第一次开花就遭到风雨的摧残。但是,它一直顽强地生长,勇敢地与风雨搏斗,努力地绽放。本环节旨在运用圈点批注法理解作者对小桃树的情感。既能培养学生品析语言的能力,又能在把握小桃树意象的基础上准确体会作者的情感。
教师是课程的执行者,要吃透主题精神,理解目标、框架,设计预设活动。教师是课程的设计者,要观察幼儿兴趣、积极回应幼儿,师生共同生成主题。教师捕捉本班幼儿的热点、需要和经验生成各班特有的主题,在实施共同的主题时,各班教师根据幼儿的需要和经验生成不同的小主题。每天自由活动时,幼儿总拿出不少玩具车玩,边玩边说“这是我吃麦当劳换来的,这是米老鼠车”;有的说“这是我妈妈给我买的坦克车”;还有一个小朋友对汽车特别感兴趣,每天说“这是宝马车,那是别克”。这时我发现孩子对车有了一定的生活经验,加上孩子对车有浓厚的兴趣,于是开始建构初步小汽车的主题网络,网络的建构依据是小班 幼儿的认知特点。幼儿比较关注外形特征等表面的问题,如马路上常见车的名字、几种特殊车的用途等,后来又根据实施情况对主题网络进行修改,增设了坐车要用的“一卡通”,不同颜色的出租车名等。
