教學說明：本節(jié)課為新授第一課時，是導入及課文內容理解部分。以常用的任務型教學方法（Task-based Method）為中心，采用新聞報告的常規(guī)要點為切入口，從title和五個“W”一個“H”這幾個方面來理解本文內容并構畫出新聞報道清晰的框架結構。通過表格的形式來了解文章的outline并初涉課文新授詞匯。教學方法還是通過預測、略讀和尋讀等技巧了解課文內容。并以游戲的形式來深層了解和鞏固加強課文知識點并鍛煉學生對新聞報道信息的有效捕捉能力。最后為學生設計了一個任務，開拓思維，鍛煉學生的預測能力，并對新聞報道進行具體的實踐練習。
具體說明：
1. 閱讀技巧的落實。
學生對于新聞報告的結構思路已有一定的認識，從新聞的基本特點引入，結合明確的閱讀任務，抓住該新聞的主要信息。使學生對新聞報道的結構認識能有深層次的寫作意識。
2. 詞匯理解
由于是新授課，雖有學生對文章的預習，但是只停留在似懂非懂的基礎上，在學習課文的過程中必然會出現(xiàn)理解不到位或有偏差的現(xiàn)象，因此，新詞匯的正確理解是必要的，同時也是為后來的教學環(huán)節(jié)做準備。
3. 魔方
使用魔方形式，提高學生學習的趣味性，同時更主動地記憶文本內容，使他們再完成魔方中問題的同時，把課文的內容覆蓋，并實踐操練對新聞報道的信息捕捉，為他們后面的任務做了熱身活動。
4. 任務設計
雖然以寫結尾的方式來布置任務，實際就是要求學生寫一篇簡短的新聞后續(xù)報道。開闊思路，卻又不松散而難度大。運用所學詞匯，結合文體特征，學以致用。
5. 作業(yè)
鞏固第一課時內容，為第二課時做準備。能看新聞了，也要會實踐寫寫新聞。所以最后布置一篇小練筆，主要體現(xiàn)新聞報告的要素特點，并結合學生實際，區(qū)別新聞和通知的寫法。
