人教版高中语文必修2《亲近自然写景要抓住特征》教案2篇
一、教学目标1.指导学生以一颗真挚的童心、爱心面对大自然，促使学生的心灵与大自然亲切交流。2.使学生明确写景文章的写作范围、写作重点、构思技巧。二、教学重难点明确话题，写景抓住特征，注重感情。三、教学方法多重对话法四、教学过程1.导入语：自然是人类生活的环境，是人类赖以生存的基础。人类不仅在物质上需要大地母亲的哺育，而且在精神上也需要向自然寻求依托。当知时节的春雨飘落大地时，当秋风吹来诱人的果香时，感到喜悦、幸福的决不仅是农民；过去的政治家、文学家，每当失意的时候，就会寄情山林；就是我们中学生，当不堪学习重负，感到身心疲惫的时候，去野外踏青，不也能愉悦身心吗？可以说人对自然的情怀是与生俱来的。但不同的人，对自然的感悟有深浅不同，情趣有高下之分。“万类霜天竞自由”的感悟，“大漠孤烟直”的审美不是人人都能有的。2.面对大自然，通过什么样的手段来促使我们的感悟、审美向高深方向发展呢？哪位同学说说。
人教版高中语文必修3《杜甫诗三首 咏怀古迹》教案
“千载琵琶作胡语，分明怨恨曲中论。”“怨恨”两字点明全篇主旨。千百年来，琵琶所演奏的总是从匈奴传来的撩人愁思的胡乐，正是昭君在诉说着她的怨恨！这两句从侧面烘托昭君的形象，既有对她的赞扬，又有对她的同情。读到这里，我们的耳边好像又响起了那深沉、幽怨的琵琶声！5、这首诗写的是昭君的怨恨，但首联一开始并没有写她的怨恨，写的是什么？这样写的目的又是什么？明确：群山万壑赴荆门山是群山起伏，连绵不绝；水是万壑争流，奔腾不息，直赴荆门山。其中的“赴”字用了拟人的手法，把迤逦不绝的千山万壑陡然间写活了，既有飞动之势，又有变幻之姿。从侧面烘托昭君的形象。两千多年前，一个青年女子远离父母之邦，嫁到异域，并在那里度过一生，确实需要巨大的勇气和毅力，而这雄伟的山川简直就是她那坚强的性格的象征。6、佳句鉴赏（这首诗歌当中，我认为有两句诗写得非常美，我自己很喜欢，不知道有没有同道中人？）
人教版高中语文必修2《想象世界学习虚构》教案2篇
虚构不等于说假话。它是一种源于生活，但高于生活的艺术真实。我们可以举个例子：我国公认的最权威最真实的史书是——《史记》，那么，大家认为《史记》里有没有虚构呢？有。必修一的《鸿门宴》里就有虚构。大家想：司马迁是哪个朝代的人？西汉汉武帝时。刘邦项羽是哪个朝代的？秦末时期。那司马迁不可能坐时光穿梭机到秦末去参加鸿门宴吧？既然他没不在场，那课文《鸿门宴》里人物的语言、动作、甚至是表情从何而来呢？对，是司马迁根据有限的史料加以补充，想象、虚构出来的。那么，同学们在写作文时，也可以不必拘泥于亲身经历的事情，毕竟生活是平淡的，毕竟大家的生活阅历也有限，有时候，我们发挥想象、虚构一个故事来反映生活的真实，也许更生动、也更典型。所以，近年来高考试卷中都提示考生：作文可以大胆想象，编写故事。按照编故事的方式不同，我们的虚构性作文又可以写哪些类型呢：小说，散文，童话，寓言，科幻，故事新编……
人教版高中语文必修2《姓氏源流与文化寻根》教案2篇
据此，研究者认为我国的姓源于原始社会母系氏族时期，并作为一个血缘家族的称号。氏隶属于姓。夏、商、周时期，姓氏作为贵族间区别不同血缘关系的一种制度。自秦汉以后，姓氏不分，合二而一。3、大家有没有听说过《水浒传》中一个人物“西门庆”，他姓西门，为什么姓西门呢？他家住在西门这个地方。大家想想东郭先生为何姓东郭？可见有按居住地而得姓。4、现在如果赋予同学们一个神圣的职责，让你们给一个人赐姓，这个人是杀猪杀鸡杀鸭的，你们觉得要给他一个什么样的姓才合适呢？（自由讨论，姓“屠”）明确：这就是姓氏来源的又一种方法，按照职业取姓。大家想一想有没有其他按照职业得姓的姓氏？（巫、卜、陶等）5、大家通过预习有没有发现其他获得姓氏的方法。（国名、自己祖先的字等。）姓在母系氏族社会以后，逐渐增多，来源极广。主要来源于封国名、谥号、爵位名、官名、居地、职业等。
人教版高中语文必修3《善待生命 学习论证》教案2篇
论证方法之引证法如何用好引证法：1.所引用的名言警句等针对性要强。每句名言都产生于特定的背景，都应用于特定的交际目的，即使谈同一个问题，也有不少名言可供选取。2.要简洁，不宜过多。议论是在发表自己的见解而不是在介绍他人的见解。引用他人的话，目的是为了让读者更加信服自己的话。3.要注意直接引用和间接引用的区别。直接引用务求文字、甚至标点均准确无误；间接引用只须述其大意，但要注意人称的转换。论证方法之喻证法喻证法是用设喻来论证论点的方法。在议论文中，设喻可以使论点更易懂、更风趣、更容易获得读者的认同。喻证法能化抽象为具体、化艰深为浅显、化枯燥为生动。论证方法之喻证法如何用好喻证法：1.以小见大，就近取譬。要精选生活中细小的、人们熟悉的事物做为设喻的喻体。2.喻体不求形似，只求神似。做为喻证的喻体与做为比喻的喻体不同。比喻的喻体是为了强调特征，描绘事物，侧重形似，以形比形；而喻证的喻体是为了阐发观点，以正视听，力求神似，以义取形。
人教版高中历史必修3“罢黜百家独尊儒术”教案2篇
战国阴阳五行家邹衍认为，历史中的朝代更替是由于五德运行产生的影响。按照邹衍的学说，每个朝代必须与五德之一相连，因此，这个朝代就应当遵循这五德之一的要求来运转。董仲舒修改了这个理论，认为朝代的更替不是依循五德运行的顺序，而是依循“三统”，即黑统、白统、赤统的顺序。他在《三代改制质文》中说：每个朝代都依循一统，每统又各有其为政的系统。按董仲舒的说法，夏朝代表黑统，商朝代表白统；周朝则是赤统。夏、商、周三朝完成了这一历史循环。之后，历史又开始一次新的循环，新的朝代又应当代表黑统。继承周朝统治的既不是秦朝，也不是汉朝，而是孔子，他承受天命，创立了黑统。孔子所受天命，不是一种“法统”，而是一种“道统”。董仲舒说：“《春秋》大一统者，天地之常经，古今之通谊也。今师异道，人异论，百家殊方，指意不同，是以上亡以持一统；法制数变，下不知所守。臣愚以为诸不在六艺之科孔子之术者，皆绝其道，勿使并进。邪辟之说灭息，然后统纪可一而法度可明，民知所从矣。”
人教版高中历史必修3破解生命起源之谜教案2篇
设问：你怎么看待这个问题的？（这是达尔文没有想到的，是有人利用了达尔文的学说，科学应该与其区分开来，但是科学家在研究时，既要做到为追求真理不断探索，又要有一定的人文精神，比如我们只有以人为本，才能找到解决当今社会面临的诸如环保、战争、饥荒等问题的途径，才能构建防止核物理技术、克隆技术、信息技术、生物技术、太空技术等可能对人类造成不可逆转的破坏作用的思想基础、决策机制和社会条件。更重要的是社会和国家应该对此有足够的认识，正因为此，所以现在当一项科学发明出台后，就会有一些法律出台，限制其可能的非人道用途。但是这些影响应不成为我们进行科学探究的阻碍。）（3）科学与宗教的斗争设计意图：再次引导学生认识，科学的探索永无止境，同时也再次认识宗教和科学理论产生的原因。材料1：1972年，美国加利福尼亚教育部竟明文规定，中学生物学课本除进化论外，必须还有神创论的内容，而且两者的页数要各占一半。

⑦在我看来, 探索太空是值得的。As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.Step 10 Writing---draftRecently, students in our class have had heated a discussion on whether space is worth exploring. Students hold different ideas about it.30% of us think space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life and is a waste of money. And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.On the other hand，70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it，such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more，with further space research，we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day. Also，space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth.As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.

新人教版高中英语必修3Unit 5 The Value of Money-Reading and Thinking教学设计一
Everybody wants to get wealth.In today’s material world,making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood. With money they can own luxurious cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.But is wealth the only road to happiness? Not really. There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.
