Reflection：

Little Zoe looking for Mum是一篇关于动物的绘本故事，出现动物较多，描写动物特征的句子多，生词量不大。在阅读过程中，通过图片、多种形式的问题层层推进，帮助学生理解文章, 让学生在生动的故事中体会着兔子和这只熊妈妈的感情，更渲染着大爱和博爱之情。在突破本课情感重点时，引导学生表演give her a hug, start to cry, play with her, cook carrot soup等，学生通过表演理解短语的意思，理解Zoe 和Bear Mum 的感情，从而理解文章的意义。在阅读接近尾声时，设置开放性问题，包括Does Zoe find her mum? Do you like bear mum? What do you know from the story? 等, 激发学生对故事的思考，并锻炼学生的表达能力。

由于本人水平有限，在本节课的设计和实施上仍有不足之处：

1.为了降低课堂实施难度，选择了五年级学生作为上课对象。鉴于五年级学生的心智水平，绘本内容相对浅显幼稚。

2.在课堂实施过程中，学生自主阅读时间不充分，阅读方式也比较单一。此外，课堂上对情感的渲染和铺垫也不充分，影响学生深层次理解绘本，导致最后学生无法顺利完整表述阅读心得。
