三、教學(xué)策略（Teaching strategies）

本單元的主題是談?wù)摲较蚝头轿灰约叭绾沃嘎?，教學(xué)內(nèi)容貼近學(xué)生生活，能激起學(xué)生的興趣。通過多媒體課件為學(xué)生創(chuàng)設(shè)更多的語言環(huán)境，將更能激發(fā)學(xué)生主動參與的欲望。在課堂教學(xué)中巧妙運用教學(xué)藝術(shù)，采用小組合作學(xué)習(xí)的方式，完成任務(wù)，多層次調(diào)動學(xué)生的主動性、積極性，培養(yǎng)合作意識和探究能力，使學(xué)生在輕松愉快的環(huán)境中實現(xiàn)更多的信息交流，從而有效地提高課堂教學(xué)效率，達到事半功倍的效果。

四、教學(xué)工具（Teaching aids）

English books， PPT， Multi-media

五、教學(xué)過程（Teaching Procedures）

Step 1. Lead-in

T： First， let’s go through our studying aims in this class

To achieve these aims， we have some tasks to do. Are you sure to finish the tasks？ …Please remember： Group work is very important and helpful. I’m sure success is waiting for you.

（讓學(xué)生明確這節(jié)課的學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)，做到心中有數(shù)，并提醒他們小組合作的重要性）

T： Boys and girls， shall we begin our class now？ We know it’s spring now， and I think spring is the best time to go on a trip， right？ Do you remember our last school trip to Shanghai Happy Valley？ We took some photos， let’s enjoy！

You see， we had a good time there. There are many interesting places in the park. Now tell me： What will be helpful if you want to find these places quickly？

（用學(xué)生熟知的話題導(dǎo)入，展示春游時拍的有趣的照片，引起學(xué)生的共鳴，活躍課堂氣氛，吸引學(xué)生主動參與，積極思索，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生說出地圖）

Step 2. Presentation and practice

T： Now can you guess who is holding the map？

（展示地圖，自然地引出Eddie 和 Hobo 的漫畫）

T： Yes， Eddie and Hobo are also having a trip to Happy Valley. Let’s watch a video， and answer a question： Do they know the way？

T： Now， listen to the tape and then answer some more questions on the screen.

（先看視頻，對漫畫有個整體的理解，再聽錄音回答更多細節(jié)問題）

T： There is a national competition about dubbing. Do you want to take part in it？ OK， today let’s have a class competition first. Before it， we should practise well， now read after the tape sentence by sentence.

（屏幕上呈現(xiàn)一張英語趣味配音全國爭霸賽的海報，引出要進行的配音比賽，并讓學(xué)生明白參加比賽要先進行練習(xí)。學(xué)生跟著錄音一句一句朗讀，提高模仿能力，再進行兩人操練， 開展競賽，符合循序漸進的原理。明確評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，讓學(xué)生自己評比，了解自己的不足和努力的方向）

Step3. Presentation

T： Now we know Eddie and Hobo can’t find the way although they have a map. Do you know why？

T： Yes， because they can’t read a map. If you want to read a map， you have to know the right directions first.

T： Look at the screen， tell me which direction it is.

（屏幕上依次呈現(xiàn)8個方位，邊呈現(xiàn)邊讓學(xué)生一起說出。領(lǐng)讀并齊讀兩遍，再點學(xué)生個別起來讀，以鞏固并糾正發(fā)音）

T： Now， We’ve known the directions very well， let’s play a game called what’s missing！ Look at the screen carefully， if you know the direction， just stand up and speak out. Do you understand？ Ready？ Go！

（教師點擊PPT，呈現(xiàn)缺了一個方向的圖片，學(xué)生需要快速站起來并說出所缺的方向。這樣的游戲活動快速點燃了課堂氣氛，學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣和積極性都被調(diào)動起來了）

Step 4. Presentation and practice

T： Now let’s look at a map of our city. Can you find where our school is？ Yes， it’s here. Do you know what’s around our school？

（分別展示其中兩個地方的大圖，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生說出下列句子）

The park is west of the school. = The school is east of the park.

The neighbourhood is north of the school. = The school is south of the neighbourhood.

The school is south-west of the bank. = The bank is north-east of the school.

The gym is north-west of the school. = The school is south-east of the gym.

（展示學(xué)校周圍的三維立體地圖，直觀清晰，令人感覺身臨其境，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生學(xué)會描述兩地的位置關(guān)系）

T： Now we have learned how to describe the location， but the students in Sunshine Middle School haven’t. Here is a map of Sunshine Town，please help them find some places according to the sentences.

（讓學(xué)生運用剛學(xué)的知識去幫助陽光中學(xué)的學(xué)生識別地圖，自然地引出welcome的內(nèi)容）

T：Look at the four sentences， work in groups of four， try to sum up the sentence pattern. Then look at the map of China and talk about the location of some places.

Where is Japan？ Japan is east of China. = Japan is to the east of China.

Where is Russia？ Russia is on the north of China.

Where is Jiangsu？ Jiangsu is in the east of China.

Where is Taiwan？ Taiwan is in the south-east of China.

（Then ask them to sum up the new patterns in groups again.）

（根據(jù)中國地圖進行問答，拓展含to、on、in三個介詞的句子。學(xué)生以小組為單位，討論并總結(jié)所學(xué)句子的句型結(jié)構(gòu)，充分體現(xiàn)新課程自主探究、合作交流的學(xué)習(xí)方式，促使學(xué)生互相學(xué)習(xí)，互相幫助，發(fā)展合作精神）

（Show students a map of Suzhou and ask them to say as many sentences as possible by using the new patterns. Work in groups of four， each group member must say at least one sentence. ）

（小組合作練習(xí)看圖說句，之后每個小組四人上講臺，依次邊指著地圖邊講，臺下其他小組成員認真傾聽，如找出錯誤并糾正也可加分。這樣，在小組活動呈現(xiàn)成果時，其他學(xué)生的注意力也能集中）

Step 5. Listen， ask and answer

T：Daniel and Simon are talking about their class trip. Let’s listen to their conversation and try to ask and answer. You can ask questions about four points： where to go， where is…， how far and how to get there.

（Then ask students to read the dialogue together.）

（通過聽對話，讓學(xué)生根據(jù)教師給出的四個提示，主動提出問題。通過教師教學(xué)方式的轉(zhuǎn)變引導(dǎo)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)方式的轉(zhuǎn)變，突出學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的主體地位，讓學(xué)生主動思維，暢所欲言）

Step 6. Consolidation

T： Do you want to go on a class trip again？ Please make a trip plan in groups. The plan should include time， place， location， transport， activities and something else. Each group member must say at least two sentences.

（After that， the members in other groups try to ask and answer.）

Models：

1. Where do they want to go for our next class trip？

2. Where’s …？ / What’s the location of…？

3. How far is it？ / How long does it take…？

4. How can we get there？

5. What can we do there？

……

（這一環(huán)節(jié)的設(shè)計，避免了在一個小組匯報時，其他小組的成員忙著準(zhǔn)備自己的匯報或講話的低效現(xiàn)象）

（呈現(xiàn)以學(xué)校為中心的7張圖片，都是學(xué)生了解的景點）

T： Now on the screen， I have some places for you to choose. However， we have ten groups in all， so there are three task cards with nothing inside. You have to think of a new place by yourselves.

（讓學(xué)生挑選不同顏色的任務(wù)卡，但有三個小組必須自己想出一個新的景點。這樣可以增加任務(wù)的開放性、趣味性和難度，激發(fā)學(xué)生的挑戰(zhàn)欲）

Step 7. Assessment

T：What have you learnt in this class？

（在一節(jié)課結(jié)束時，讓學(xué)生自己評價一下這堂課的收獲，使學(xué)生體驗學(xué)習(xí)的樂趣和成功的喜悅，增強自信心）

Step 8. Homework

1. Write a trip plan.

2. Preview the new words and phrases of the reading part.

五、板書設(shè)計（Blackboard Design）

Patterns：

A is direction of B. = A is to the direction of B

A is on the direction of B

A is in the direction of B

六、教學(xué)反思

在這節(jié)課中，教師用心創(chuàng)設(shè)情境，營造了自由和諧的學(xué)習(xí)氣氛。教學(xué)設(shè)計由易到難，環(huán)環(huán)相扣。注重學(xué)生的認知心理，主要訓(xùn)練了學(xué)生聽說的能力。學(xué)生興趣濃厚，積極主動 ，課堂氣氛活躍 。

在開展小組合作學(xué)習(xí)之后 ，學(xué)生互幫互助 ，競爭激烈 ，集體榮譽感增強，班級的學(xué)習(xí)氣氛更加濃厚。特別是在課堂小組發(fā)言的過程中，每個成員都開口說英語，課堂發(fā)言面廣 。此外幫同伴找錯的環(huán)節(jié)，也有效培養(yǎng)了學(xué)生仔細傾聽他人發(fā)言的良好習(xí)慣，避免了展示環(huán)節(jié)的形式化 。
