《斑鸠调》教案
一、组织并导入。在课的开始，我们先来举行一个唱唱我喜欢的民歌的小型民歌交流音乐会好吗？前些阶段，老师请你们回去找一找、唱一唱你喜欢的民歌，你们都去做了吗？师：今天老师给大家介绍一首赣南地区的民歌，你们想听一听吗？二、学唱歌曲《斑鸠调》1、初听歌曲：提问：歌曲的情绪怎样？表现的是怎样的音乐形象?教师：这首歌是赣南客家民歌《斑鸠调》，原名《上山调》 是流行于赣南的客家民歌，曲调原是赣南的一首茶歌。
《斑鸠调》教案
教学理念及设计思路：歌曲《斑鸠调》是江西安远的民间小调，也是当地节日歌舞活动中的一种传统“灯歌”。将“灯歌”这种载歌载舞的形式作为本课的知识点和动点贯穿于学生的实践活动中，让学生在课堂上动起来，调动学生听觉的动、视觉的动、全身的动。使学生在动中体验，在动中愉悦，从而真正了解江西灯歌的音乐与舞蹈特征。教学方法：采用情境教学法、对比欣赏法、视觉图像法、参与体验法等。学生是学习的主体，根据教材的内容和学生年龄的特点，我在学法的指导时紧紧围绕教学目标，主要通过“听”、“唱”、“看”、“做”等要素，让学生去感知歌曲的情绪、演唱方式，使学生通过直观感受、亲身体验从感性认识到理解接受。本课我在教学中引导学生独立探索、去发现问题、学生互相交流讨论问题，采用交流重于传授式教学。并将难点教学融入兴趣中，与学生在反复对答演唱中,师生互动既提高了学习兴趣,又在不知不觉中解决了难点。
《包楞调》教案
教学过程一、导入1.师：你们知道战国时期齐鲁燕赵等国是现在我国的哪些省吗？生： 包括山东、河北、北京、天津及苏北徐州地区。2.师：今天，老师就带领同学们进入齐鲁燕赵支脉的音乐世界。二、新课教学1.欣赏《包楞调》 师：聆听歌曲，说一说这首歌曲给你最突出的印象是什么？它对歌曲的情绪产生了什么影响？ 生：“包楞楞楞”这些衬词的印象最突出，使歌曲情绪既开朗又活泼。 师：这是一首流行于山东成武县一带的民歌，因衬词“包楞楞楞”而得名。2.欣赏《沂蒙山小调》 师：聆听歌曲，请同学们为歌曲划分乐句。生划分。 请同学们边听音乐边仔细观察乐谱，找出旋律发展的规律。生思考听辨后回答。 师：这条旋律的发展规律我们称之为“鱼咬尾”。鱼咬尾是指前一乐句的结束音与下一乐句的第一个音相同，也叫衔尾式、接龙式或连锁传递，是中国传统音乐中发展规律的一种常见方法。3.欣赏不同版本的《孟姜女》教师播放江苏和河北两个地区的民歌《孟姜女》的音响。师：不同地区的《孟姜女》有什么异同？生：河北民歌节奏密集，可以说是江苏民歌基础上加花形成的。三、课堂小结通过这节课的学习，大家能在欣赏、演唱《沂蒙山小调》中发现、认识“鱼咬尾”这种民族音乐的发展手法。在欣赏江苏民歌、河北民歌《孟姜女》后能说出他们的不同。熟悉了《包楞调》的旋律，了解了它的情绪。

判断下面抽样调查选取样本的方法是否合适：（1）检查某啤酒厂即将出厂的啤酒质量情况，先随机抽取若干箱（捆），再在抽取的每箱（捆）中，随机抽取1～2瓶检查；（2）通过网上问卷调查方式，了解百姓对央视春节晚会的评价；（3）调查某市中小学生学习负担的状况，在该市每所小学的每个班级选取一名学生，进行问卷调查；（4）教育部为了调查中小学乱收费情况，调查了某市所有中小学生.解析：本题应看样本是否为简单随机样本，是否具有代表性.解：（1）合适，这是一种随机抽样的方法，样本为简单随机样本.（2）不合适，我国农村人口众多，多数农民是不上网的，所以调查的对象在总体中不具有代表性.（3）不合适，选取的样本中个体太少.（4）不合适，样本虽然足够大，但遗漏了其他城市里的这些群体，应在全国范围内分层选取样本，除了上述原因外，每班的学生全部作为样本是没有必要的.

新人教版高中英语必修3Unit 1 Festivals and Celebrations-Listening &Speaking＆Talking教学设计
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.

Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …horse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.

The topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences.

The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience.

Example:One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door found that he only had one dime(一角）left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once. From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life.At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to the woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly.” Tear of joy flooded her eyes.
