教学反思

多媒体能使整个教学过程表现为声、图、文并茂，使声音、图像、文字的呈现更自然。为此，在课堂上，教师应该为学生创造学习氛围，让学生时常有成功感和成就感，以便进一步激发学生学习的内在动力。在本堂课中应注意让发音较标准的同学多朗读，让思维敏捷的同学先回答问题，让善于观察的同学多纠正错误，让反应慢的同学多回答低难度问题。尽量使每个同学多动脑、多动口、多动手。

教学过程

Step 1 Greetings

Greet the students as usual.

Step 2 A Game

Show a list of chores on the blackboard：

do the dishes clean your room

take out the trash sweep the floor

fold your clothes make your bed

Give them a set of blank cards.

T：Let’s play a game. You will work in groups of four. First each group writes the chores on the cards. Put them face down. The first student turns over a card，and asks the student next to him/her to do this chore. That student says “no” and gives a reason. Each student should give a reason that has not been given before. The one who can’t give a proper reason will be out of the game. Those who can keep coming up with reasons will be the winner.

Step 3 Role play

Ask some pairs to role play the dialogue in 2d.

Step 4 Presentation

Say：As we all know，Mother does almost all the housework in the house. She is always tired. Should we help Mother? What we can do to help her? Ask some students to report their answers.

Step 5 Reading

Say：Now let’s read an article about Nancy and her mother. Please read quickly and answer the questions：1. Why was Nancy’s mom angry with her? 2. Did they solve the problem? How?

Then ask some students to report their answers.

Now let’s read the sentences in 3b，try to understand and translate them. Then read the passage again carefully and try to underline the sentences from the reading that mean the same thing. After several minutes， ask some students to report their answers and translate the sentences into Chinese.

Step 6 Language points

1. You watch TV all the time and ...

all the time(在该段时间内)一直;向来，一向;时时刻刻;每时每刻

e.g. I do this all the time. 我一直是这么做的。

This happens all the time. 这种情况是时时发生的。

2. I’m just as tired as you are!

as ... as 意为 “和…一样”，表示同级的比较。使用时要注意第一个as为副词，第二个as为连词。其基本结构为：as + adj./ adv. + as。

e.g. This film is as interesting as that one. 这部电影和那部电影一样有趣。

Your pen writes as smoothly as mine. 你的钢笔书写起来和我的一样流畅。

注意：as … as 的否定形式为“not as/so + adj./adv. + as”。

e.g. He didn’t act as well as you. 他表现得不如你好。

3. For one week，she did not do any housework， and neither did I.

1) neither 用作副词，作“也不”解释，放在句首，表示前面否定的内容也适用于另一个人或物，句子须采用部分倒装。此时也可用nor替换 neither 使用。

e.g. --- I don’t like this dress. 我不喜欢这件连衣裙。

--- Neither / Nor do I. 我也不喜欢。

注意：neither 之后的主语要置于助动词或系动词之后。

2) neither 用作代词，表示“两者都不，双方均不”。

He answered neither of the letters. 他两封信都没回。

e.g.--- Which one would you like? 你喜欢哪一个?

--- Neither. 两个都不喜欢。

Step 7 Practice

3c, Show the sentences on the screen： 1. Could you take the dog for a walk? 2. I walked home from school. Then ask some students to read and translate them. Then help them to say that the word “walk” in the first sentence is a noun and the word “walked” in the second sentence is a verb. Then ask the students to look at the sentences in 3c and decide whether the underlined words in the sentences are verbs or nouns. Then write another sentence using the underlined word in the other form. Finally ask some students to report their answers.

Step 8 Grammar focus

Ask the students to translate the sentences in the box and try to remember them. Then practice them in pairs. Finally ask the students to make up more similar dialogues.

Step 9 Practice

4a First ask the students to translate the sentences from 1 to 5，then decide whether they are requests or permissions. Then match each one with the correct response. Finally ask the students to practice the dialogues in pairs.

4b First ask the students to fill in the blanks in the conversation by themselves and then ask them to check the answers in pairs. Finally ask them to practice the dialogue in pairs.

Step 10 Group work

Say：Boys and girls，we’ll go for a camping trip tomorrow. And today we should prepare what we need. Please work in groups and make a list of things your group needs to do for a camping trip. Then discuss who will do them and complete the chart in 4c. You can use the dialogue to help you：A：Could you please bring a tent， Liu Chang? B：Sure. And could you please…? C：Sorry，I can’t. I have to… After several minutes，ask some groups to practice the dialogue.

Step 11 Homework

Suppose your family will go to America for summer holiday，what should you prepare? Talk about it in groups and try to use the sentence patterns：Could you…? Could I …?

教学反思

一节课下来，大部分学生都能积极投入到课堂教学中来，并积极举手发言。课堂气氛比较活跃，调动了大部分学生听课的积极性，因此合作教学对提高学生实际的语言交流能力以及与他人的合作能力有很大的促进作用。但很明显，语言表达能力强的学生参与的机会相对要多，代表小组汇报的机会也多，而另有一些学生却习惯于当听众，被动地接受别人的观点，很少发表自己的个人意见，也就是说在小组合作学习中学生的参与度不均衡，而这部分学生主要是学习困难生。

What happened to the girl? Let’s listen.

1b, Listen and write short answers to the questions.

1. What event happened at the school yesterday?

2. Who missed the event?

3. Which team won at the event?

Play the recording at least twice and give the students enough time to write down their answers. Then ask some students to report their answers.

1c, Listen again. Number the events [1-6] in the order they happened.

____ Kate saw a dog by the side of the road.

____ Kate got to the bus stop.

____ Kate called the Animal Helpline.

1 Kate left the house.

____ Kate waited for someone to walk by.

B：While she was running back home，she saw a dog by the side of the road.

Encourage the students to make up as many dialogues as possible.

Step 6 Presentation

2a, Look at the pictures and the title in the passage. What do you think the passage is about?

Remind the students to talk about it in pairs. Then ask some students to report their answers.

Step 7 Reading

2b, Read the passage and answer the questions:

1. What are the two events in the passage?

2. When did they happen?

Ask some students to report their answers.

2c Read the passage again. Are the following statements true (T) or false (F)，or is the information not given (NG)?

___ 1. Everyone in America remembers who killed Dr. King.

___ 2. Robert Allen was eating lunch when Dr. King was killed.

___ 3. Robert’s parents were shocked to hear the news.

___ 4. Kate Smith was watching a movie when a plane hit the World Trade Center.

___ 5. Kate didn’t think her friend was telling the truth about the event.

Ask some students to report their answers.

2d Underline sentences from the passage with similar meanings to the ones below.

1. Not everyone will remember who killed him，but they can remember what they were doing when they heard that he got killed.

2. No one said anything for the rest of dinner.

3. September 11，2001—— the date alone means something to most people in the US.

4. I had trouble thinking clearly after that because I was very afraid.

Ask the students to read the passage carefully and try to find out the answers.

Step 8 Language points

1.My parents did not talk after that，and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence.

in silence 沉默，无声

e.g. Many patients were waiting in silence. 许多病人在静静地等候着。

2. I didn’t believe him at first.

at first “起初，首先”，作为介词短语，只起副词作用(在句中用作状语)。 at first主要用于强调前后对照，暗示接下去的动作与前面的动作不同甚至相反，因此常有 but， afterwards，soon，at last等相呼应。

e.g. At first I didn’t want to go，but soon I changed my mind.

我开始不想去，但我很快就改变了主意。

Step 9 Pair work

2e, How much do you remember about the events in the passage? Test your partner.

教学反思

2b部分课本上已经设计了很多阅读理解活动，但如果能再加一个写的活动更好。对于阅读理解中涉及到的两个重大历史事件，让学生在充分学习文章的基础上复述一下并写出来，不仅锻炼了学生的概括能力，又培养了学生的写作能力，同时复习巩固了本课的重点语法——过去进行时。
