光影中的皮影戏——小学高端英语项目组系列报道之二年级外教实践课课堂风采

在刚刚过去的两周里,二年级的外教老师Robert带领孩子们开展了一堂趣味盎然的活动课——光影中的皮影戏。孩子们通过自己制作并表演皮影戏,学会了如何通过变换手电筒的光来形成不同的影子。

As part of the activities for the ‘light and shadows’ unit, we got the class to make shadow puppets for a lesson about shadows. These shadow puppets had the advantage of demonstrating how shadows work by making shadow puppets and making a play with them, so they could see what shadows they made, depending on where they put the torch and their puppets.

 


活动前,为启发学生思考,教师提出两个皮影戏的相关问题:“影子在哪里?”“你什么时候可以看到影子?”学生们踊跃发言,很多答案相当新颖而富有洞见。在此过程中,学生们不仅练习了英语表达,也加深了对“光与影”这一单元主题下科学知识的理解。

For the first part of the lesson, students were asked the question, where are shadows and when do you see them. Many students replied well and some gave excellent and insightful answers about how and why shadows are made. This built on their understanding of shadows as a science lesson, while it helped them practice their English.


 

接着,教师向学生们展示了生动有趣的动图,并据此教授了本单元课程标准要求掌握的新词汇,比如“皮影戏”、“透明胶带”等。学生们一边跟着Robert朗读这些新单词,一边观看动图,Robert也着意纠正他们的发音。其后是看图猜词的巩固环节,帮助学生强化记忆。

 We then taught the students the new vocabulary for the lesson. This vocabulary was needed to help them make their shadow puppets and also to help them complete their workbook exercises. Students learnt words like ‘shadow puppets’ and ‘cellotape’. They repeated the new words while we listened to their pronunciation, while looking at pictures of the words. The students were then asked what the words were with the same pictures. This was to help them remember the new vocabulary. Some students could not remember some of the words, so we had them repeat the words so that they could remember better.

在皮影的制作环节,Robert给学生们口述了如何用卡纸和木棍制作皮影,播放了通过光的变换制造不同的阴影来表演皮影戏的短片,并展示了多种多样的皮影人物设计。孩子们以非凡的想象力和创造力制作出了美观多样的皮影人物。课程最精彩的环节莫过于皮影戏表演——孩子们在准备好的幕布后不停变换摆弄手电筒,用英文演绎了一出出活泼丰富、精彩纷呈的皮影戏。其中一个小组表演了关于“波音777”飞机坠机的故事,另一个小组演绎了一个勇敢的小女孩穿越丛林的故事,都令人印象深刻。

To help the students make the shadow puppets, we explained how to make them using English words and showed them a brief video of a shadow puppet play to demonstrate what they could make. We showed them a variety of different puppet designs to inspire them to make different puppets for their shadow puppet plays. The students made a beautiful array of different puppets and greatly enjoyed this creative side of the lesson. They told us what their puppets were in English. They then worked together in their teams to make a story with their new puppets. There were many excellent plays. One play was about the story of a Boeing 777 airplane, while another was about a girl walking through a jungle.

 这次的皮影戏活动课对孩子们来说是非常好的提升英语能力的机会。孩子们不仅学到了和皮影相关的词汇,锻炼了口语表达能力也提高了表达的自信心。此外,他们还增强了动手能力、提升了想象力和创造力。

This was an excellent activity to build on their English skills. The students’ stories helped them practice their English. They also learnt new words to make the puppets. This activity allowed students to learn science and build their confidence speaking English through a creative activity where they chose what to do.
