Traffic Jams—A Problem
Traffic jams happen anywhere. People can get very frustrated if they are stuck in a traffic jam.
If a person is driving a skycar, they wouldn’t have to worry about traffic jams. Drivers could just move over to the side of the road, get their car ready and zoom into the sky. The traffic jam would be far below them.

Inventing a Flying Car

For many years, people have tried to invent a car that could fly. Some were too expensive, and others just did not work.
But one day, an inventor named Gilo Cardozo put a motor onto a sand buggy. The motor had a big propeller and a sail. As Gilo zoomed over the ground, the buggy went up into the air. Gilo had turned the sand buggy into a skycar.

The skycar

Gilo’s flying car is called a skycar. It has a racing bike engine. The engine moves the skycar along when it is on the ground. The engine uses fuel made from plants.
When the car is flying, a parasail helps to move it along. As the car speeds over the ground, the parasail fills up with air.
If the parasail gets damaged or collapses, the skycar uses a parachute. The parachute will unfold so that the skycar can glide safely back to the ground.

Testing the skycar

The skycar idea couldn’t be sold until it was tested. People had to see if it was really safe. They had to see if it could fly long distances as well.
So Gilo Cardozo and his team went on a long journey to Timbuktu. This was a dangerous journey. They had to cross the sea and travel over a desert. It was hot and dusty in the desert. They were a long way from anywhere.

A Successful Journey

The most dangerous part of the journey was crossing the sea. The strong winds made the skycar swing around but no one was hurt.
Some people thought that the trip would fail. It didn’t. The skycar was a success. It could drive on motorways. It could go over sand dunes and rocky ground. And, it could fly safely a long way, too.

A Future for skycars

Skycars aren’t used yet to fly in and out of cities. They are noisy and they need space to take off.
Skycars  would  be  useful  in  many  ways.  They  are  easier  to  fly  than  a

helicopter and not as expensive. They could get to places where  helicopters and other vehicles couldn’t.
Someday soon, skycars could be zooming around in the sky like giant birds.

教学设计

 

课文标题：	Skycar
单元名称：	第 15 级
教材版本：	多维阅读
授课年级：	八年级

 

整体设计思路	这是一个非故事性的科普类文本。本书逻辑紧密，主要围 绕 Skycar 展开。从发明过程、运作原理、测试过程等方面介 绍了 skycar，并基于现状对其未来进行展望。文本分析采用 哲学方法—诠释学，即：文本字面意思、文本背后的意思、作 者想表达什么、读者对文本的评价。与此同时兼顾预测并调研： 学生的兴趣点在哪里？学生的学习困难在哪里？
教学目标	1、了解文本所讲的基本信息， 即 skycar 的发明过程、运作 原理、测试过程和作者对飞车未来的态度。 2、通过所学内容以及教师的信息补充，更全方位的了解飞车 的背景知识和飞车作者所体现出的科学探索精神。 3、引导学生形成对事物的客观评价能力并激发学生不断探索 的欲望。
教学重难点	1、降低难度，因为本文生词较多，尤其是飞车运作原理部分。 2、将学生语言与思维进行有机结合。
教学过程
教学步骤	教师活动	学生活动	设计意图 及资源准备
Lead in-- Have a free talk.	教师询问学生上学的 交通方式。	回答问题。	本环节旨在实 现从已知到未 知的切入、过 渡。
Read and think	教师引导学生找出目 录中的关键词。	根据教师指令找出 文本每个标题的关 键词。	旨在激发学生 的阅读兴趣， 引导学生初步 感知文本大致 脉络。
Close reading	教师引导学生阅读文 本、激发学生阅读欲 望、培养其思维品质。	观察图片并结合自 身的体验回答老师 提出的问题。	通过问题引 导，让学生对 飞车的设计灵 感、发明过程、 工作原理和测 试过程等进行 了解和思考。
