一． 教材解读（Material Interpretation）
通常人们忌讳“只见树木，不见森林”，然而这里我们姑且就一个单元这只林片木来想象一下那片充满神奇的森林。从某种意义上说，这或许正是这套教材的编写者们的用意所在。高一英语新教材的编写依然以单元为单位，但每个单元打破了呆板的块状设计，换之于流畅的线型流程，为课堂教学的灵活组织留下了更大的空间。整个教材体现了Communicative Curriculum的指导思想。每个单元以功能为主题，话题为支撑，结构为平台，任务为载体，意义交流为目的，充分体现了语言运用的基本思路，为任务型课堂教学构建了框架，注重提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力，发展学生与人沟通和合作的能力。
本单元的主题是Technology，中心话题为Hi-tech,话题本身具有强烈的时代气息，贴近学生的实际生活，符合学生的认知水平，在学生中有较强的认同感。这一单元的交际功能项目（Functional Item）有二个：1. Describing things 2. Expressing agreement & disagreement。结构项目（Structure）为The Present Continuous Passive Voice；主要能力项目为Reading 和Writing，其中一个话题：New Uses of Things, Problems and Solutions, Life in a Technological Era, Teaching and Living Facilities, Controversy about Technology 和Attitude towards Technology， 根据难点重点设计任务，注意任务的连贯性、剃度性。
第一课时话题为New Uses of Things, 能力重点为Listening。在设计任务时特地设计了Describe the things and how they work, 突出Listening外，巧妙地融进了Speaking , 为下一课时作好了铺垫。 在做Describing and Drawing任务时，老师有意识地用一些如CD机，遥控器之类的东西，让一组学生进行Description，另一组学生进行Drawing and Guessing, 这样成功地创造了一个Information Gap,使学生兴致盎然，并在完成任务的同时悄悄地接近了单元中心主题。教学者就这样不露痕迹地完成点题这一细节。结束任务是除了本节课探讨的这些东西的New Uses 以外，思考一下使用这些东西带来的问题。 这样巧妙地过渡到了第二课时的话题Problems and Solutions。
第二课时话题为Problems and Solutions， 能力重点是Speaking。通过Warming up 和对上一节课布置的问题的思考，轻松引入Speaking。通过帮助老师解决难题这一任务, 预演怎么Give opinions, 如何express agreement and disagreement。接着，进入Role Play 这一任务。 通过观看Family Album, USA,和Mr Bean中的几组镜头， 学会更多表示同意和反对的方法，拓展语汇，丰满语言。此后学生开始由外及里，进入每人的内心世界，审视自身的问题，寻求解决的途径。最后通过模拟电视台主持人主持的一档题为Puppy Love 的Chitchat Program，让学生模拟老师、家长、校长、专家、教育部门领导等角色，畅所欲言，以进一步巩固已学语言，达到真实交流的目的。结束时一个What Makes Such Service Possible?又将学生引入中心话题Technology的思索.。要求学生在思索之后通过上网完成凸现了本单元Expressing agreement and disagreement的功能项目。最后给校长写一封抱怨信，将在学习和生活遇到的问题和自己的观点、建议写进信内，投入校长信箱，等待校长答复。由于在学习Unit 9时，学生在新学校已生活了约一二个月，这样的任务设计应该是非常真实，也容易操作。本课的Assignment 是准备一个Hi-tech Show, 学生五、六人不等，组成一个小组,确定主题，上网搜索，充分展示高科技的成果和给人类带来的文明，要求配上解说词。每一小组时间不超过2分钟。
第五课时话题为Controversy about Technology, 音乐MTV欣赏作为Warming up，接着从MTV的制作，直接进入各小组的Hi-tech Show, 因为高科技的成就和给人类生活带来的文明是本单元的中心主题，因此在这里进一步进行渲染、烘托。同时话锋一转，对比鲜明地转入本课话题Controversy about Technology。通过对手机、机器人和电脑等物advantages 和disadvantages的讨论，进行反思，最后完成对于青少年进网吧玩游戏问题的调查，写出调查报告。
第六课时是终结性课时，集中体现各种能力，重点突出语言的使用，课时话题为Attitudes toward Technology。Warming up是一个师生之间的chatting。在chatting中谈中国与西方国家在科技发展上的差别，中国青少年与中国未来的关系，中国青少年该如何处理个人与民族的关系等，自然切入主题。紧接着的是调查报告反馈。每个小组用二分钟时间陈述报告，交换意见，最后以班级名义将整合的调查报告呈交有关部门。通过调查，学生开始接触世界，了解社会，以此增强公民意识和社会责任感。讨论出青少年进入游戏网吧的有关规定，交给各个社区，用于宣传教育。完成一个题为To Be a Technology-driven Human or not to Be的Debate。在Debate中，进一步点明本单元的中心主题和体现本单元的交际功能项目。在Debate之后用一些伊拉克战争、原子弹爆炸、核武器竞赛和心脏移植手术、南极探险等图片的鲜明对比使学生对该如何使用高科技进行深刻的反思，想象abusing高科技可能带来的恶果。紧接着是Language Input，讲述的是2374年人类被巨能电脑Q12控制后的世界模样。最后以一封写给巨能电脑Q12的题为Love is the Everlasting Topic of the World的信作为本单元的结束，使主题得到了升华。
总之，在进行单元教学设计时，努力做到板块清晰，思路流畅，条块结合，经纬贯通。主题鲜明，反复烘托，功能项目体现到位；能力结构分配合理，梯度适中；任务设计环环相扣，逐步升级。板块之间既个性鲜明，重点突出，又首尾相接，前呼后应；整个单元主题明朗，任务多样；教学思路流畅，前后呼应，一气呵成。

4．教学方法
在教学方法上追求轻松自然，强调教学方法的多样化、艺术性。具体采用的教学方法有情景教学法（Situational Approach）、交际法（Communicative Approach）、整体语言教学法（Whole Language Teaching）、情感激励法(Affective Motivation)等。在重视语言内涵的前提下不拒绝语言形式上的韵味和美感，适时配以音乐、时尚、艺术等，追求人与语言内容、语言形式的和谐。在强调语言实际功能的基础上，注意呈现语言的人文光辉，使语言学习既受用无穷，又多姿多彩。
1）教学方法的多样性
例如在本单元中，我们非常重视Warming up，通过Warming up，激活学生已有的知识和经验，调动各种学习机智如情绪、态度、心理等，链接即将开始的Classroom Activity。使整个单元的Warming up形式多样，景趣交融。
 激情联想（如第一课时）
 直观图片（如第三课时）
 问题解决（如第二课时）
 自由谈话（如第六课时）
 音乐（如第五课时）
 游戏（如第四课时）
2)教学方法的独特性
在教学中和任务设计中不经意却是有意识地将多媒体、电脑等揉入在其中，并特别注意这些东西在课堂上的有效使用，体现其辅助作用(如在本单元的授课中，第一和第四课时为使用多媒体)；同时让学生也实践操作(如第五课时中的Hi-tech Show)，使中心主题与课堂实践，学生意识与老师意图融为一体，凸现主题。
3)教学方法的艺术性
 注重语言功能性和语言人文性的结合
 重视学生内在需求的形成
 注意发挥教学者人格力量作用
 强化期待教育和情感激励法
 营造人与语言、人与文化和谐自然、人景相趣的语言学习环境
四．教学理念（Conceptual Bases）
以任务型教学（Task-based Language Teaching）为设计理念，正确定位学生在语言学习中的主体地位，以任务为载体，使学生通过体验、感悟、完成任务，达到意义协商、真实交流的目的；强调语言的内容涵义优于语言的形式结构；注重语言的功能性，但不忽视语言的人文性；注意老师的人格力量在语言学习中的积极作用；提高学生获取信息、处理信息和分析、解决问题的能力，强化学生的文化意识，激发学生的探究心理，促使学生研究性学习习惯的逐步形成；全面提高学生的人文素养，增强学生的社会责任感。
语言首先是一种交际的工具，因为各种交流的需要才赋予语言鲜活的生命和经久不衰的美丽。各种源自真实生活的真实任务激发了学生各种语言交流的需求，为语言的运用搭建了一个广阔的舞台。由于学生的注意力集中在任务的完成上，语言交流的过程变得真实、自然，近乎母语的悄然习得。而完成任务之后的成就感是学生信心倍增，为语言的进一步学习作好了心理准备。
在任务型教学中，我们从学生的认知水平、知识结构出发，尊重学生的意愿和情感的需要，从学生“学”的角度来设计出贴近学生真实生活，包括学校生活、社会生活、内心世界、情绪变化等各种教学任务，其中有单个任务、任务环、任务链等形式，以此激发学生的求知欲，促使学生产生学习的内驱力，主动自觉的融入语言活动，使语言学习成为像喝咖啡、欣赏音乐一样变成一种时尚，一种源自内心需要的自觉追求。
在教学中，根据ELT顶尖级专家Krashen的Comprehensible Input 和 Input Hypothesis理论，有效组织语言教学，促进学生构建自己的学习模式，尽早养成自主学习的习惯。
总之，在整个教学理念设计中，贯彻了“以人为本”（Learners-Centered）、“任务为重”的原则,使原来的“教学者带着知识走向学生”变成了“教学者带着学生走向知识甚至共同走向知识”。同时也不露痕迹表达了“以人为本”的另一层涵义，那就是关注学生情感，使学生在英语学习的过程中，提高独立思考和判断的能力，发展与人沟通和合作的能力，增进文化明白和跨文化交际的能力，树立正确的人生观，加强公民意识，增强社会责任感，着眼未来，培养全球观念。
五．教学手段与评价工具
在教学中充分利用好与教材配套的录音带、VCD、练习册、测试性评价，并在做一些定性评价，以求评价的全面性。如：
Teacher’s Comments:
You do a good job of /__________________.This student can______________________.
You can improve in______________________. This student need__________________.
Students’ Comments:
I did well in __________________________.
I plan to improve by _________________________.
Parents’ Comments:
________________________________________________.
