The Grasshopper and the Ants是广州版初中英语教材4A Unit 4的教学内容, 本课教学内容总计课时为2课时，本课为第1课时。

本课以构建主义学习理论为依据，强调知识不是通过教师传授得到，而是学习者在一定的情境下，借助其他人的帮助，利用必要的学习资料，通过意义构件的方法而获得。因此，就要尽量在课堂上，为学生创造丰富多彩的情境，使学生主动地获取知识。

过程与方法

情感、态度及价值观

• 教育学生不要好逸恶劳，凡事不能不劳而获，只有先付出艰苦的劳动，而后才能享受劳动果实。

• 本单元是广州版初中英语教材4A的教学内容，主要学习三则寓言故事，而这些寓言故事大部分同学们比较熟悉，所以同学们学习起来难度不会太大。

• 初二学生已进行了一年多的英语跨越式学习,对英语跨越式的各种课型都比较熟悉。随着学生自学能力和语言能力的加强，学生对网络环境下的英语跨越式学习，兴趣很浓,学习的效果也比较显著。

本课根据上述目标和学生的情况，本节课综合运用了讲授式、启发式、自主学习、协作学习等策略，为学生提供适当的学习资源，指导他们自主学习，小组讨论, 阅读理解, 课堂写作, 并引导他们在网络环境下进行学习，培养他们对英语的兴趣和对语言综合运用的能力。在本课中，教师充分利用网络资源，为学生提供了大量的视频材料，去提高学生的兴趣和参与度，从而提高课堂效率。
