教學反思
本節課是讀思課，主題是“創辦網上社區”（Start an online community），滲透了較強的文化意識。通過分享女教師Jan 用互聯網改變自己的生活并幫助其他老年人學會使用互聯網，從而也改變了他們的生活和命運的美好故事，讓同學們了解到互聯網給社會文明帶來的變化。閱讀過程注重對語篇結構的把握，問題設置層層遞進，引導學生聯想預測，梳理文章主旨大意和重要細節，突出了閱讀獲取信息的能力的培養，強調了語篇知識和閱讀技能對閱讀理解的重要性，貫徹了讀思一體的課堂教學思路，將語言學習、文化滲透和思維發展有機融為一體，充分體現了新教材的編寫理念和英語教學改革的方向。
本節課的不足之處：由于詞匯量儲備不夠，部分學生的口語表達不夠流暢，討論環節占用時間較多。
改進措施：平時注重話題詞匯的積累，鼓勵學生積極表達，并留出足夠的課堂時間讓他們展示。
