,本课介绍了英国著名女侦探小说家Agatha Christie一生的主要成就以及她塑造的主要人物。帮助学生了解Agatha Christie这位高产作家,激发学生课后去阅读其作品的兴趣。
本课为人物传记,主要介绍了两点的
:Agatha Christie写作上的成就以及她塑造的两个典型的人物:侦探Hercule Poirot 和侦探 Miss Marple。在阅读教学中,可以帮学生梳理出两条脉络,一条是根据时间顺序,引导学生了解Agatha Christie一生的成就; 另外一条是其塑造的两名侦探,引导学生发现其塑造不同人物的特点。 因为本课文章较长,内容对学生来说不容易,而且没有语法内容,所以本课的教学设计将分为两个课时。第一课时主要依据第一条脉络。重点让学提取出Agatha Christie一生在写作上的成就,本课难点是让学生可以
