教学说明：本节课为新授第一课时，是导入及课文内容理解部分。以常用的任务型教学方法（Task-based Method）为中心，采用新闻报告的常规要点为切入口，从title和五个“W”一个“H”这几个方面来理解本文内容并构画出新闻报道清晰的框架结构。通过表格的形式来了解文章的outline并初涉课文新授词汇。教学方法还是通过预测、略读和寻读等技巧了解课文内容。并以游戏的形式来深层了解和巩固加强课文知识点并锻炼学生对新闻报道信息的有效捕捉能力。最后为学生设计了一个任务，开拓思维，锻炼学生的预测能力，并对新闻报道进行具体的实践练习。
具体说明：
1. 阅读技巧的落实。
学生对于新闻报告的结构思路已有一定的认识，从新闻的基本特点引入，结合明确的阅读任务，抓住该新闻的主要信息。使学生对新闻报道的结构认识能有深层次的写作意识。
2. 词汇理解
由于是新授课，虽有学生对文章的预习，但是只停留在似懂非懂的基础上，在学习课文的过程中必然会出现理解不到位或有偏差的现象，因此，新词汇的正确理解是必要的，同时也是为后来的教学环节做准备。
3. 魔方
使用魔方形式，提高学生学习的趣味性，同时更主动地记忆文本内容，使他们再完成魔方中问题的同时，把课文的内容覆盖，并实践操练对新闻报道的信息捕捉，为他们后面的任务做了热身活动。
4. 任务设计
虽然以写结尾的方式来布置任务，实际就是要求学生写一篇简短的新闻后续报道。开阔思路，却又不松散而难度大。运用所学词汇，结合文体特征，学以致用。
5. 作业
巩固第一课时内容，为第二课时做准备。能看新闻了，也要会实践写写新闻。所以最后布置一篇小练笔，主要体现新闻报告的要素特点，并结合学生实际，区别新闻和通知的写法。
